I can't believe Conrad is currently watching 1986 JCP with Tony, and still in this latest episode with Bruce says he prefers the WWF version of the Road Warriors, are you kidding me? The 1986 version of The Road Warriors were awesome. My Dad saw them in Greensboro a few times in the 80’s and he said the Coliseum literally shook when Iron Man hit. The two entrances I wish I could have seen live: "Iron Man"-era Road Warriors "Another One Bites the Dust"-era Junk Yard Dog I'd add Sandman to that list, but I think there's still a chance I'll be able to see that in my lifetime.

I do sometimes wonder if the whole Bruce rants about Meltzer thing is a gimmick or his real feelings?

By all accounts he used to be one of Meltzer's sources, so I'd say gimmick, but I guess they could've had a major disagreement in the past or something. Bruce is one of the most skilled liars in wrestling, so takes one to know one, I guess.

I just checked out Conrad's wikipedia and it's one that defiantly reads like he authored it.

But the declaration of “ Be under an hour, don't curse, don't play music, don't play all your ads up front. Thompson calls these, "the standard rules of podcasting" and routinely disregards them on the show,” has aged terribly.

It wouldn't surprise me if he wrote that to troll people or someone who thinks he wrote it put that in there. I'm not a huge fan of his but I respect him getting to a point where he is working with so many big names and has become tight with them. Many fans are star struck just talking to a wrestler they are paying to sign an autograph at a convention so I know it takes a lot of work, dedication and even a bit of talent in having a great personality to be able to get these guys to trust him.

Brand new Episode 266: In Your House 7. Bruce is back and I was happy to hear him again!
The event consisted of nine professional wrestling matches, five of which were broadcast live on pay-per-view. The main event of the show saw Shawn Michaels defeat Diesel in a No Holds Barred match to retain the WWF Championship. Other matches on the card included The Bodydonnas retaining the WWF Tag Team Championship by defeating The Godwinns and The Ultimate Warrior defeating WWF Intercontinental Champion Goldust by countout.

I’m about to tap out on this show. I’m listening to the Kevin Nash Part II episode and so far it should be called Meltzer Said with Conrad Thompson. Bruce is just harping on again and again on Meltzer being wrong. I swear that it feels like the show is basically copy and pasted at this point.

Yeah, his research is really now just reading the Observer or Torch. It used to have some of that but also pulled some guys books, shoots and the like. Hey, I know he doesn’t have time anymore but I didn’t tell him to create 93 more podcasts a week.

And I don’t think he does his own research anymore

And I don’t think he does his own research anymore How would he have time to at this point.... he has six f'ing podcasts and sell mortgages (or leads a team that sells mortgages). If you like what this show used to be, give the Jarrett podcast a shot. It feels fresh for now.

It wouldn't surprise me Jarrett's is well received. Ross, Prichard and Bischoff are so stuck in their ways and jaded or feel the need to protect themselves, the business in general or companies that whatever they say normally has a lot more under the surface that will never come out.

Well unlike the other 3, Jarret was a wrestler. One of the boys, not a suit. His probably a lot different and he probably knows way less in terms of “stuff that you don’t want to leak out.”

The shows with Bruce are definitely phoning it at this point as Bruce is weary from all the work and it turns into rants against Dave.
I was surprised at how much I liked Jarrett's podcast with the initial episode about "holding up" Vince in 1999.
