6 Reasons Conrad Thompson Is The Ultimate Wrestling Podcast Sidekick
1. No BS Approach
There is no question that there are certain things Naitch and Bruce won't say on the air. Ric doesn't want to say anything that could hinder his daughter, WWE Women's Champion, Charlotte and her standing with the company.
Furthermore, Bruce has loyalty to his integrity by defending ideas that he put forth during his time with WWE. No fault placed on either side for the reasons behind the skirting around of certain questions but that is where Conrad really earns his keep. He has the uncanny ability to spot BS and call it out. "Bruce, just answer the f***ing question!", Conrad quips at the former Brother Love each time Bruce says he doesn't remember. Or the softer prodding of the Nature Boy to let us know if someone really DID take a ride on Space Mountain.
This makes these show more real than any of their competitors. They are self aware and know that if a question is asked, they need to do their best to find an answer no matter how uncomfortable it may be. Conrad's ability to confront and extract information in a manner that keeps the show entertaining is a fun way to listen.
