And apparently they're recording/releasing an Akeem episode next!

Looks like it might be ending.
They dropped an episode today where Bruce said next week he has a big announcement about the channel, and Conrad just looks sad as f***.
Granted, it could be a work, but we'll see next week I guess

Was great for a time and now it’s time has passed.

We'll see if it ends. I can't help but think that Bruce is/was on his way out the door at WWE when VKM was ousted, but then Cody put him over during his celebration at WM. Bruce isn't getting any younger, but I would think it is still financially viable. It isn't like Conrad holds his feet to the fire with being timely. I've actually enjoyed a few of the recent episodes that I've listened to.

Perhaps it's time, I mean you can only do so many "REDUX" or Remix episodes because of Bruce's crazy schedule.

Granted, it could be a work, but we'll see next week I guess If/when he decides to leave the WWE, he'll have a TON of new material. He's 61 and has had health issues. I personally don't get why he's so obsessed staying in the WWE, working 80 hours a week, when he could probably cash out for mid 6 figures and make another 6-figures a year doing his podcast, while working a fraction of his current schedule. Do some people just hate spending time with their families? In my 20's, I would probably make the same decision. But as a father in my 40's, I honestly can't even rationalize making that same decision. I took less money to work a government job so I can spend more time with my kids and I have never regretted it.

Given his WWE job, which eats up a metric shit ton of time, I would like to assume he’s spending as much with her as possible instead of telling half truths to Conrad.

Without knowing Bruce's current situation, I thought the story was that Bruce was on his ass financially before the podcast started. Maybe he has gotten to a point where he can pick his shots, so to speak, and enjoys the WWE work more than the podcast work. It is also possible that while the WWE was fine with his podcast, TKO isn't.
I still think they are trolling. They've done it in the past.

To be honest, I've kind of grown tired of a lot of Conrad's podcasts. Even his podcast with Tony has gotten incredibly stale. That one had always been fun because they would just pick a show and just spend times making fun of it and each other. I feel like the tribalism of wrestling fans has taken it's toll on both Tony and Conrad to the point where it isn't really fun anymore. The one show I listened to every week, despite it being dry, is the Arn Show. I just enjoy listening to him talk about his time in the business. It's now off his network and strictly YouTube only. It just seems like it may have gotten to be "just another job" for Conrad. Specifically with Bruce, I'm sure he just doesn't have any time. WWE/TKO and his family takes up his time. If we get more than one or two shows a month, I consider it a good month.

Episode 361: Montreal: From Both Sides On this special episode of Something To Wrestle, Bruce is joined by special guest host, Eric Bischoff! And as they say, there are two sides to every story. These two legendary personalities discuss the Montreal Screwjob 25 years later, with a different perspective you won't hear anywhere else! It's a Dave Meltzer hate-fest! Just recently came across this. The chemistry between Bischoff and Pritchard is great! Would be great if the made this a semi regular thing I.e. pick a topic, and both sides discuss it. Lex Luger's Debut DX Tank Chris Jericho etc

I listened to STW for the longest time, but it got to the point where I felt like Bruce was never going to say anything that he felt Vince would’ve been offended by/looked at sideways for. Vince probably didn’t even listen, but Conrad would bring up stuff that was obviously just completely terrible booking by Vince and Bruce would just be like “well shucks you just have to try and see what sticks”. Which isn’t untrue in itself, but dude.. is it really gonna get you that much heat if you just say what we all think?

It was excellent until they paired with WWE to do Something Else to Wrestle, Bruce was back in, Conrad had several other podcasts and neither them had any time to invest in the show anymore to do research. Then the ads exploded in frequency and length, my breaking point was an ad that was almost ten minutes long and kept repeating the same 15 seconds of information. Bruce was always going to tow the company line but at least that provided some insight what the company was thinking.

The remix episodes are usually better than the new ones if they cover pre-2019 shows again 🤣
On Conrad's remaining podcasts Jarrett's is probably the best, I do still enjoy Bischoff's too and occasionally listen to JR's just because it's funny to listen to him get wound up.

Wait, are the remix and redux episodes not repeats?? I have to go back and listen if they’re not.

I think the Montreal Screwjob for instance was mixed with input from Gerald Briscoe.
