Someone's lurking again and picked out the criticism of a guy that has 2 posts and misspelled a couple of words.
They do a great show, but searching out all the negativity is going to drive Conrad into the ground. I work in a similar line of business and it used to kill me to see criticism and not everyone being 100% all happy. Have to learn to shrug it off.
Lot of respect for the product and show they have developed. I listen to it weekly. His responses are justified in trying to prove his perspective/point but, again, searching out all the negativity isn't going to do him any good either. Can't 100% please everyone.

The WrestleMania IX one was interesting, especially with the double title coming down basically to getting more PPV sales and Bruce being one of those who wère big on Yoko.

Enjoyed the Goldust episode. It's a pity Bruce wasn't around for Dustin's 2008-present work, as that has been by far and away the best work of his career.
And yeah, it's really no surprise Conrad's lurking every now and then. To be fair, he's correct about that particular complaint. The WON boards are the drizzling shits though.

Eh, it’s a true point, so it’s probably fair but the reward for reaching Facebook likes, which they didn’t come close to achieving was a pile of shows where Bruce wasn’t there.

Yea I did misspell a couple of words, damn mobile but it's not just the Macho Man episode. It;s others as well. Sometimes Conrad just starts spilling out dates and results and it CAN be hard to follow sometime. Like don't just throw that shit out, talk about it
Anyway, I like Conrad but sometimes he can be overbearing
The No Hold Barred episode is teh perfect example when he spent 5 minutes on "Why didn't Hulk hogan play Hulk hogan?!?!??!"

Another thing Conrad does have a tendency of doing is continuing on with questions even when Bruce has already gotten ahead of him and answered it already during the course of answering a previous question. A perfect example of this is when Bruce spends a minute or two explaining that the Goldust character was created in a brainstorming session with Dustin. A couple of minutes later Conrad then asks something to the effect of did they had anybody else in mind for the character before Dustin came into the picture, at which point Bruce has to repeat that the character didn't exist until Dustin was brought in.
I get that he's not a professional journalist or radio host, but when Bruce adequately answers a question before you ask it, just strike it from the list instead of going on to ask Bruce to essentially repeat the same information.

Yeah, between that little nugget and the bit where he and Tony took a minute to tell people who use message boards to stop wasting their lives, Conrad seems to have the same kind of contempt for parts of the audience that WWE do.

I'm assuming he didn't climb down or acknowledge the fact that when I and others explained that the issue actually was with the Kimona issue was far different to what he spoke about either.

Not that I know of. Then again, I don't follow Conrad on Twitter and I quit Tony's podcast when they switched to the watch-with-us format, so they may have done.

I only listened to one of that format and hated it. Unfunny people doing a sweary rifftrax

But Conrad is part of the WON board, isn't he also wasting his life according to Schiavone? I quit WHW after the racist bit with Kimona and the guys making fun of her relationship with Jimmy Hart. I also grew tired of every show just being Conrad asking something and Schiavone not knowing the answer. STWW is still my favorite podcast out there because I actually learn stuff and there haven't been that much bad episodes, my only problem is when there's a repeated topic like Edge-Lita-Hardy triangle and then an Edge episode but that's about it.

I'm a loyal listener with gripes like everyone else here, but I do agree that Conrad should be more focused on the positive opportunities that come from this and not every last little negative comment, like someone said earlier. All i could think of when he had that quote about this board was:
"WHAT HAPPENED WHEN....Conrad Thompson came to the freakin awesome network forum..."

I've got a couple of hours left in the Goldust episode but I've enjoyed it so far. What I didn't like is Conrad basically trying to get to Bruce to admit the character was gay when Bruce was basically saying the character tries to mindf*** with people.

I took the message board rant to be criticizing people who spend hours upon hours bitching about something they claim to hate. Maybe I took it that way because I do question the mentality and the overall life-satisfaction of those types of people. The Kimona thing was maybe in poor taste but it wasn't a racist bit and it wasn't making fun of a relationship. It was questioning how in the hell an old guy who looks like Jimmy Hart could pull a young chick who looks like Kimona. The turning Japanese thing, while again in poor taste, was perhaps referencing how a dude who is dating out of his league will often switch who he is to keep the female, perhaps out of an awareness that he's never coming out winning like that again. Again, was out a tasteless joke? Yeah. Is it proof positive that Conrad is a flaming bigot? Not even close.

People that hate current WWE and TNA,but watch it every week. I don't get it. I am sure I got more free time than lots of posters and even then I don't have time to watch shows I hate. I don't care for current WWE so I don't watch it. I semi enjoy current TNA so I watch it if I am home on Thursdays. Same with podcasts. I haven't listened to WHW since the format change,cause I don't care for how the show is. Not going to spend 3 hours listening to something I don't enjoy.

They played the oriental riff sound bit when they started talking about Kimona before making fun of Jimmy Hart, how's that ok? STWW and WHW are two different products, alongside Bruce, Conrad is a professional that gets upset when a gimmick was racist or homophobic, now with Tony, Conrad gets drunk and starts doing gay and offensive jokes alongside Schiavone. If you don't know what I'm talking about other than the Kimona joke pay attention to how they used to make fun of Tommy Young and Jim Barnett for being homosexuals.

Maybe I took it that way because I do question the mentality and the overall life-satisfaction of those types of people. Except they ranted about it in the context of dismissing a legitimate criticism of something they had done that was, using your own word, in poor taste. The Kimona thing was maybe in poor taste but it wasn't a racist bit and it wasn't making fun of a relationship. It was questioning how in the hell an old guy who looks like Jimmy Hart could pull a young chick who looks like Kimona.

Again, was out a tasteless joke? Yeah. Is it proof positive that Conrad is a flaming bigot? Not even close. Looking back at the WHW thread, I see you made this same argument and it's as much of a reach now as it was the first time you made it. Nobody's calling Conrad a racist bigot, but there's ways to express one's astonishment at someone seemingly dating above their level without affecting a ching-chong accent and the oriental riff. He calls Bruce out every time one of WWE's blackface skits comes up and says it's aged poorly, yet does something as equally tasteless in 2017 and is confused as to why it attracts criticism. Does he simply lack self-awareness?
