From @c_gulyas: Do you have a top 5 or top 10 wrestling podcasts? Austin, JR, who else?
There are a lot of good ones out there, so it's tough to narrow it down. I really don't listen to any outside of the ones featuring people in the wrestling business. The other thing is that I write about wrestling so much that often times when I write I'll tend to listen to music, sports talk or comedians. There's only so much wrestling to consume, right? Anyway, here are my five favorite wrestling personalities podcast. Steve Austin - The best of the bunch in my opinion. He's great whether he's talking to somebody in the wrestling business or one of his crazy stories about wanting to kill a fly. Stone Cold is very easy to listen to no matter what he's talking about. Chris Jericho - Very good at it, but I don't listen to it every time. It depends on the guest a lot of the time. Singing Mark Henry's theme song using a cowbell as his instrument is very entertaining too. Ric Flair - The Nature Boy is fairly new at it although he's got a good grasp of it so far. He's very entertaining to listen to because he's really not afraid to say anything about anybody. Plus, his career was about as long as anybody in the business, so he's been a part of so many things good and bad that he's got a story about everything. Jim Ross - He's very knowledge and been through a lot in wrestling, so it's great to hear his thoughts on current things in the business. His monologues at the start are entertaining to me, but they're a bit slow too. I'll listen to his discussions if the guest is interesting although his style probably isn't for everybody. Taz - When he first started I wasn't tuning in often, but I recently got into it. Best thing about him is he's one of the most honest guys you can ever listen to. Since he's not working for any wrestling company right now he's willing to say anything. It makes for a more entertaining show when you know there's no hidden agenda. Those are five that I listen to on a fairly regular basis although not an every week thing either.
