Thinking about subscribing to my first dirt sheet, not so much for NEWZ but for the interviews and podcasts. Any subscribers here, and which would you recomend?

Observer. So much amazing content, years worth of newsletters and audio shows, and Granny. A must buy.

Im not particularly answering your question, so I apologize in advance, but I always hear people rave about PWInsider, though I dont know how much content that have in the way of podcasts and such.

Bryan & Vinny and the Lance Storm show every 2 weeks is worth the investment.
Plus: THE BOARD~!

Observer/F4W hands down. Meltzer has been covering wrestling for over 30 years, and is the most reliable/credible of the bunch. He thus is able to score some key audio interviews on occasion.
The Torch stuff is kinda unbearable. A lot of the guys on there have seriously no clue what they are talking about, yet try to come off as some sort of experts on wrestling.

Not really podcasts but they have a number of shows and interviews every week. At least 4 Q&A Mailbag shows, Post Shows for Raw, NXT, Impact and, Smackdown plus any PPVs, No Name Show (anything goes type) and, tons of interviews (Chris Daniels, Chris Jericho so far this week). |

Between the two, if you're mainly looking for podcasts, I'd go with the Observer. Bryan and Vinny are a trip. I listen to their podcasts at work on my headphones all of the time. My only complaint about some of the Observer shows is they get kind of heavy on the MMA content, and I'm a very, very casual fan of MMA. But Bryan and Vinny pretty much keep it 100 percent pro wrestling.
I prefer the Torch's written content, but again, if you're looking for podcasts, I'd go with the Observer.
Can't comment on PWinsider or anyone else, as I haven't sampled their stuff.

The Torch stuff is kinda unbearable. A lot of the guys on there have seriously no clue what they are talking about, yet try to come off as some sort of experts on wrestling. Yeah, plus they tend to treat their opinions as stone cold facts a lot of times. They are very unreceptive to other people's views if they criticize the WWE. The Bryan and Vinny show can sometimes be annoying with all their non-stop TNA bashing, and bitching. Especially when they try to make up stuff just to bemoan it. At the end of the day though, I think the F4W/Observer Radio are the lesser of two evils because of all the other shows. Also, Meltzer is a good balance to Bryan. |

Sometimes if I really hate something that happened a certain week in wrestling I'll listen to Bryan and Vinnie talk about it but they get a bit overbearing to me. Meltzer usually is more level headed in his feedback and provides more interesting insight than the other two. Their most recent interview with Mick Foley contains great discussion that you can't get anywhere else. |

They're not as funny, but a lot more consistent and angrier than RD and Blade. With WCR here one week, gone for another, it's filling the void. One day they decided to Review Karate Kid II for some reason. Also love their strange fascination with fanmade songs made out of soundbites. |

The songs rule, they're usually about Terry Funk saying Satchelass, and Sheiky wanting to humble someone.

Haha yeah. I like their fan songs. I think the one that had me howling with laughter was when they did a Christmas song, and someone put in a soundbite of Sheik screaming something like, "I am the man with a 10 inch c***."

I like the songs where they incorporate Sheamus saying "fella" and Triple Haitch.

B&V reviewed some classic Mid-Atlantic the other day, so I thought I'd make this:

The worst part about F4W/WON are the people that think it's they're the greatest thing ever.
Bryan and Vinny are okay. They're very grating though. Bryan royally sucks at math though. And when it's Bryan and Meltzer, Dave is right 99% of the time and Bryan just won't get it at times and will bitch and moan. Also, Meltzer doesn't get any joke and doesn't believe in hypothetical situations.
Bryan: Say if Hogan lives to 150..
Meltzer: But he won't.
However, the Torch is much much worse. Both message boards are full of people who take themselves way too seriously.
