6 Reasons Conrad Thompson Is The Ultimate Wrestling Podcast Sidekick
4. Thorough Examination Of Topics
Over 40 years in the business for the Nature Boy, and 20 plus years in Stamford for Bruce equals a ton of ground to cover for Something to Wrestle and the Ric Flair Show. A running joke on both shows is that they just hit record and go, no rehearsal or talk beforehand. In addition to the content, that is what makes these shows so great: organic reactions to questions and answers in a live mic environment.
We don't get that anymore with wrestling on TV as WWE has become fully scripted. However, the natural and real reactions are what we want as fans. These shows provide that, and then some.
Although topics aren't discussed beforehand, the leg work for these podcasts are done by Conrad himself. Creating questions for guests, or topics for subjects shows Conrad's passion for the business and desire to provide the listener with a no-BS approach to get the details we want out of our favorite wrestling personalities. Whether it's the small details of why the Ultimate Warrior wore a white belt strap with the world title or the bigger question of who created the Undertaker's look, there are no stones left unturned on these podcasts.
