250/40 Revival: August 20, 2015

I'ts Ba-ack! Yip-pay!
75 minutes

Having been podcasting for 10 years (and 250 episodes) now, RD & Blade decide to bring the old show back, and NOT because they only made 39 episodes of its 'successor' over 2 years. Cue the same old Old Yeller jokes. Although now I want to see a Zombie Old Yeller movie, so...thanks?

(Of course, most full term shows have 25/26 episode seasons on average too, so it does all balance out overall. Then again, most full term shows aren't badly made wrestling radio progrems either. Not unless the next season of Better Call Saul has an episode where John Thomas discusses credit card payments with Mr. "Johnny Mackerel/Sean Goodplan".)

Greg, formerly of globalinternet.net, may be getting back into the website hosting business. RD wonders what his new site URL would be. (:04)

So it comes to pass that this very site you're reading (if still up) is now an official sponsor of WWCR. Cue my non Jeff Foxworthy impression/silent movie voice in reading the ad copy in a single sentence. (:07)

Blade: "Oh, here's the thing, you know, we want to try and get a good schedule going where -"
RD: "Well now you just cursed us."
...
Blade: "Here's the thing real quick."

:11 Blade has Don standing around to taste test some food for him. Hopefully he's not wearing his mask or using corn oil as a condiment. The bag of Herr's chips he's testing is sadly not named or flavored sand or Barbecue Corn Nuts like he guesses, or RD's thinking that it has Elmer's glue in it for that extra kick. (It's actually Peppered Bacon.)

Blade ate an entire 'pack of bacon' the day before. Wouldn't you? (Don't answer that.)

Blade reads a blurb about the upcoming Black Bottle Brewery's Count Chocula Beer. If you want to try it out for yourself, try eating Count Chocula cereal in some beer instead of milk and see how it tastes. And it HAS to be in a cereal bowl or it doesn't count. (:20)

At least the Faxtrolla is still operational. (:22) Ted DiBiase and Jim Duggan met David Prowse at a UK wrestling convention. RD is reminded of when Mike Check went to a Star Wars convention and ran into Jake Lloyd Jr's foot, which is better than (his old man) "good old" Jake Lloyd Sr. being arrested after some real life podracing. Blade suggests watching Episode I in Spanish where (of all things) Anakin's "YIPPEE!!" was dubbed. Hmmm, I wonder how Latin Jar Jar would sound like now.

:28 The "TammyTrolla" has followed the Co-Fruitcakes to the original progrem, much to RD's dismay. She's trying to sell her sofa so she can buy a sectional. RD wonders if Debbie Reynolds is on social media. Her recent Skypeing for sexual/non-sexual related stuff suddenly summons the Sad News Music, but thankfully it's not for her. It IS for Yvonne Craig, the original Batgirl and Vince Russo's beloved, who is no longer with us after a long and fruitful life. (:34)

Blade can't wear his Bossk mask outside of Halloween for some reason, or so he says.

:37 The Question Of The Week is going to once again be award/prize winning because RD wants to clear out his house of unwanted stuff. At least for his American Listeners; seeing as it costs a bajillion to ship overseas, he'll instead pay the "lucky" winner $5 (American) for their submission. That converts to I believe £3, ¥600, $200 Canadian and 300 of whatever the Greek currency is now. 300 Spartans I think.

It also has a new email address: questions@wrestlecrap.com. That is the ONLY place for submissions now. No other ways will be accepted!...Almost no other ways, anyway.

In lieu of a question, what with the surprise recording and all, the two talk about their favorite progrem moments. Again. Thankfully their reminiscing is interrupted by a "Filson Wisk" looking for a "Mr. X". He sounds more like RD than Vincent D'Onofrio though. (Dincent V'Onofrio?) (:42)

The duo now need to look for a new TNA Correspondent. Oh joy. I guess the Honky Tonk Mailman was transferred to a different section in the USPS so he's unable to take them on his route in his pink Cadillac. (:45) They try calling David Lee Roth's Soundboard for help at first. He still won't report on TNA though. So they have to call JR instead. (:50) He's angry because he's not getting any money from his 'appearances', and is still so angry that he even censors himself. "Go fluff yourself!" he rambles.

Blade retrieves Stubby from his corner. He doesn't prove much help either. (:55)

Neither does Mike Check. (:58) His daughter is trying to find a job for him which is remarkable when you consider he's a prison escapee (EDIT: A prison escapee under house arrest who has his own website. --Raging_Demons). Did he ever tell you about the time when he was in Madison, Wisconsin (market) in WDEL "The Dell" (making bad Kennedy jokes) as Billy Limburger with Craig Atlas "Cutting The Cheese"? Also Taryn "Tiffany" Terrell brings his microphone up to attention to Carol Channing here on WWCR.

:69 Lesnar is to fight Undertaker as Frasier Crane at Summerslam. Iron Mark wonders how Cena's nose is holding up.

Episode 39: Thank Ya: August 7, 2015

R.I.P to one of WCR's favorite people: Roddy Piper (1954-2015)
54 minutes

RD called Blade 'excellent' for the first time in their 13 year friendship.

RD wonders how the audio quality of their progrems have fallen compared to the 'golden age' of 2008. Blade responds by temporarily disconnecting.

WWE once wanted to make Brock Lesnar Popeye's brother if you know what I mean.

Matt Hardy & Reby Sky have given birth. (:12) This causes Blade to crack up for some reason. The kid's VHS/Kryptonian name (Max-El) reminds RD of the good old days of cassette tapes including good old BASF. RD uses his phone. Rosa Mendes is pregnant "with child" which is better than being pregnant "with chestburster". This causes Blade to crack up for some reason.

Sad News: The Deever is retiring (while also engaged). (:20) The two remember all the Diva Search 'candidates' that have come and gone.

Tammy skipped a court hearing. (:26) RD wants her to go to jail so that she (and her segment) appear less on the progrem.

The two shill their Archives some more by remembering all the strange impressions of Dennis Stamp and Terry Funk from many years ago. Which you can read about more on this very site, if I can take my turn to shill [...And if I could take my turn to shill; go to The Mike Check Show for all your "non-canon" musical adventures involving ole Mike and his big-boobed/whiz-kid daughter -R.V.M Kai]. Assuming the URL is still the same. Again.

:33 RD: "Why do all the new segments have horrible music?"

Apparently your "frequent" Dan Spivey (at war) update now has its own music. Did you know he will be turning 63 in October?

Blade does his (bad) David Lee Roth impression about lamps. I figure all he got he had to steal. (:37)

:38 WWE had to change a group's name because it was already taken by a porn corporation. Which is STILL a better place to work at than the top wrestling company in the world.

The duo reminisce about the greatness of Roddy Piper as he appeared on their progrem. Our condolences to all of his close and loved ones; may he rest in peace.  (:41 - end)

200 The Call-Out: October 21, 2011

137 minutes (!)

If their arrows blot out the sun,
it would help global warming.
Despite missing two months to who knows what, things are back to 'normal', at least before the duo takes the year off due to someone breaking their back or something. And what better way to do that than to reminisce, both with the Co-Fruitcakes and other Listeners favorite moments on a forum thread. Even RD has forgotten a few moments during the show's history. This shows he's not a regular visitor of this here site which would have helped him out. And he would also know that our Beloved Founder (The Founder to my Premier as it were) [To my hired help? - Clarence][The Founder to my Premier to my Showstealer, as it were.] has helped summarize all their episodes. Go have a look. Trust me, it's better than this week, because nothing of note happens for the next 24 minutes, except for another Don anal story (is there any other kind?).

Blade spoils things by saying that Rowdy Roddy Piper (the ACTUAL legend and not just his legendary PSAs) will be appearing next episode. (:18)

Blade has found his favorite 'Nitro party' entry. (:22) He reads an '11th hour' letter sent in August.

And now you can end the show here if you like. (Mrs. Deal! Get Iggy on the phone!) This is because the rest of the show is just people calling in and messing around. If that sounds familiar...well it is, and we don't even get Global Internet's Greg or the Zombie to spice things up. I'm not necessarily going to take them to task for disobeying the Cornette Rule and repeat the same angle (or episode) only after seven years, and I know they were probably rushed for time to do something or risk wasting yet another fruitless week. But looking at this from a creative viewpoint as I always do, they should at least have made one thing different. Perhaps have Nate come back from the 'dead' and have him break Mike Check out of jail so he can call in randomly and threaten them with a Men Without Hats song or something. I'm expecting next year to be another clip show that would rival the infamous TNG episode Shades Of Grey in terms of nothing happening.

So this year we're essentially getting a WCR Roster roll call as various characters call in to fart around and have fun for some random reason.

And I wonder if I'm losing my mind sometimes.

:25 Pleasantries out of the way, let's get to the self-congratulatory circle jerking. Jim Ross calls to insult the two. Hey, that's my job! I didn't realize he was a newly recruited Co-Historian. He revisits his only video to read comments.

:34 One 'loan' bright spot arises with John Thomas, sight for sore ears. Blade 'thinks' about him. John's been hunting Brakestown down over lifetimes like a Highlander.

:42 The Honky Tonk Mailman gives a call, now the longest running Intercontinental champion TNA correspondent for doing fuck all while the show was hibernating, thank you very much. Matt Morgan's been un-injured six weeks ago. The new Zack Gowan stamp is made from Lego pieces.

Be afraid.
:52 Popeye calls in. He has his own website. Hilarity ensues.

:59 Nintendo John likes some Castlevania game, but hopefully not the one featuring that Bond villain and that guy who sounds like "Stewart Patrick".

:68 David Lee Roth calls in like he's some sort of frequent character now. Sadly his soundboard has no new lines from Runnin' With The Devil so he's not much help.

RD 'remembers' when Johnny Six hosted a show with Blade that one time, which is an excuse to draw a one-line joke even longer than it should. (:72) Are we sure this wasn't included in that April Fools show that one time? Or for that matter, aping Iggy's summations?

Blade's ex-girlfriend does not want to be on the show. I have no idea why. (:76)

:82 Chief Jay Strongbow.

:82 The Midnight Rose calls. He hung out with Blade who played a cripple in a movie. He temporarily gets possessed by Jim Ross again.

:90 Corporal Fagsher is still possessed by a car. Knowing he he's probably just censoring himself with his own car noises.

:94 Stubby does his shtick. He temporarily gets possessed by Jim Ross again.

:104 B.M. Punk is Chief Jay Strongbowed, as per usual.

:105 Satan confuses RD by 'rereading' Billy Graham's letter. I think he does it even more so by not having his music play while he originally did that. He actually congratulates them on their 'achievement', as he is wont to do.

:111 Sir Alec Heineken and Ellie are 'engaged'. He reads a 'poem'. He temporarily gets possessed by Jim Ross again.

:117 Mike Check gets his prison call. Finally, an actual celebrity! Now the show is picking up. Did he ever tell you about the time he was at Omaha's KFLU 102? He was John Cillin to Andy Rooney's Penny Simpson to host the Penny Cillin Show. [And of course the Curse strikes again, felling the man a fortnight later. - Future PB]

Blade does his Bill Cosby. (:127)

So too his Iron Mark Tyson.

:129 Stevie J shows how ad copy is SUPPOSED to be done. He and his Angry Marks Podcast co-host (Co-Fist?) congratulate the duo.

RD doesn't want to take any more chances and decides to end the show. I don't blame him.

Blade 'doesn't do haikus' on anniversary shows (yes you fucking do) so he sings instead. Mrs. Deal! Get that 80's era Casio keyboard!

$4.00 ($36.00 and The Price Is Right for $19.99)

188 Buying Buttons: December 3, 2010

87 minutes

Blade being still as lazy (and drunk) as ever gives RD pause. He and Don went to a Misfits show and went to the dentist's (though not at the same time.) He attributes this to 'basic chemistry'.

Sad News: RD & Blade are currently at the bottom of the FF league...while I am second. Hmmm. Blade's brother-in-law had a fantasy team named the Manboobie Bombers. I'm surprised Blade didn't beat him to the punch to name his own team that.

:20 Mama keeps breaking plates. RD's latest Black Friday outing took him to three stores opening earlier than usual. At Target the woman in front of RD has troubles getting a discount with candy bars. At Meijer someone had a full cart of strawberries and one (1) cucumber. Popeye is interested. At Menards the Chick-Fil-A cow paid a visit providing free cocoa for all. A woman in line used a wheelchair for a cart. Perhaps she somehow gained temporary superhuman strength to get through the day's challenges? [Well Black Friday Woman would make a better superhero than Subtracting Man at least - Clarence]

:42 Blade & Corey & Don went to see the Misfits while in Kansas. (Blade is reminded of that time Don peed on a cripple.) Wearing his Rose mask he managed to get Jerry Only to go with a Celebrity TRIP with him, where we find that he loves the Peanut Butter Crunch and calls RD an elephant.

:52 'Satan' calls again. Marty Jannetty is now rapping on New Jack's FB page. His 'lyrics' are so bad that even RD has to censor him. That's unnecessary in my opinion; after all, only 12 people listen to this show and they're probably too socially insecure to contact their local representative to tell them their sensibilities are being offended. Bah!

:59 Was Mickie James exposed? She had some sort of nipple slip and her dress went flying away while performing. Blade is of course very amused.

:63 RD prefers Blade's Question to the one actually sent this week (by Shawn). A minute later John Kelly calls to discuss Jeff Hardy's strange looking belt. He's so bad that David Lee Roth soundboards in just to say "No." Is he the new Chief Jay Strongbow now? RD wastes time reading about a children's game on Wikipedia.

:73 Someone (Caitlyn) wins on a show (NXT) not even on TV any more. New world champion Miz went against Jerry Lawler for a bit. Blade discovers Hardy's belt has Don's mask on it. Looks like it's time for Jeff to bring out the corn oil! John "Yawn" Cena still shows up on TV despite being 'fired'. His Mexican cousin Juan Cena is now on the air with him.

Seventeen Holiday Syllables on him:
Mexican Cena.
What is his Spanish catchphrase?
"¿You can't si me?"

133 The All-Interactive Happy Hour: January 23, 2009

78 minutes

Does not come with corn oil as illustrated
This week's show is a "full 180" from last time (not a full 360?). The MegaTrolla has escaped from RD's house WrestleCrap HQ, and RD hopes for him to return. Blade is drinking too, so it looks like things are back to the status quo. Meanwhile AngryMarks is stealing the 12 listeners, and only 7 remain (or are new 7 people, we don't really know) (:06)

Sad News: Circuit City is closing. (:08) Blade is maliciously happy about this. Blade listens to old shows in his sleep and dreams of the elusive BM Punk. (:11) Upcoming new segments are 'teased'. Blade thanks the people who bid on his auctions and who directly donated to him (myself included). A random unopened cereal box featured in the Shoot Interview is being auctioned (with free shipping!). (:14) The WC Book of Lists Exclamation Point was third in the Wrestling Observer Book of Year running behind a book on the original Gorgeous George and Ring of Hell. (:15)

Trip to the Grocery RD's Trip to the Toy Store (:18) is hijacked by Blade's Hitting the Bottle. For some reason we YouTube the Theme to WKRP In Cincinnati and the follow up New WKRP Theme. To counterbalance that Blade presents the Don Mason Boogie. The only thing of note of RD's trip is finding Frank Stallone action figures. Do they sing "Take You Back" and "Pushin'" when pulled? Blade: "Wouldn't you have fun on the beach in spandex with Carl Weathers?"

Obscure Wrestling News (:32 in): Paul Heyman has opened a gym. There's no word if he'll do his Hustle in it. (Actually that's just a rumor, nothing is being built involving him. Although if it were built it would definitely attract more customers than an average ECW house showing. Strike One against our Co-Hosses.)

Some nonsense about Simon Dean. Demolition Blast (seen here on his explosive MySpace page) is now a motivational speaker. Sad News: Torrie Wilson's clothes store is out of business (in my earnest opinion it was probably less due to the recession and more that it was a general fucking disaster.) If it helps any her site officiallyjaded.com is actually working right now, albeit terribly out of date. We search her site for a bit and listen again to her terrible remix of Right Said Fred. RD has not heard of something called a "mute button".

(Actually she's just moving shop, perhaps for [again] getting better business than the handful of people she may be normally getting. Strike Two for our Co-Hosses. In the same news update it also looks like Jake "The Snake" Roberts has his own website. Let's hope he doesn't use it while drunk; it needs to be classified as heavy machinery for just that purpose. Or even worse - it consists entirely of pictures of his penis.)

[From the future: Actually scratch that. The whole thing has officially vanished from the intertubes.]

Question of the Week from "The Real Nathaniel Matt the TNA Fan" (:48) is on favorite TNA moments. (Well why not?) Blade liked one involving Jasmine St. Claire doing some sort of soft-porn type of things. So that's why they call it TNA eh.

Speaking of TNA our temporary Correspondent is introduced with a MIDI version of Jump. Oh boy, this can't be good. (:55) Sure enough we're subjected to sound clips of 'David Lee Roth' hooting and yes-ing from Runnin' With The Devil. Sadly despite all this he doesn't have any particular sound bites of actually watching TNA maddening RD. But you know what? He's easily my favorite TNA guy yet. He needs to make a return, particularly with a duet-trio-quartet with Johnny 6 and Nathaniel and Stubby.


Nate: HOW ABOUT SOME TNA TOTAL NON-STOP ACTION WRESTLING!!!
David: No!
Johnny: I. Like. Big. Nipples.
David: Yeeeaaahhhhhh!
Stubby: [Some unfunny 'joke' about penis sizes]
(Laugh Track)
David: Wooooohoooo!

Current Wrestling News (:64). RD saw The Wrestler and wrote about it in his Ramblings. He discusses it a bit with Blade. We remember the "New and Improved" episode with that RATT Opening and that episode where Blade sounded like the Burgess Meredith Penguin. There's some talk about surprise run-ins for the Royal Rumble. Also Randy Orton punted a big one on Vince's head.

In honor of that skull-fucking, Seventeen Syllables:
Randy kicked Vince's head.
But hey, why should he stop there?
Please punt Stephanie.

David Lee Roth

Oooohhhh Yeeeaaaah!
The famous frontman of Van Halen and successful rocker in his own right, David (or at least a remarkable simulation of him) 'volunteered' himself to be the 7th TNA correspondent on January 23, 2009. Sadly, although the spirit was willing the flesh was weak; he didn't actually watch what he was supposed to be covering (or at least, his soundbites didn't have that much scope covered).

  • Seems to speak only in lyrics from his band's first song Runnin' With The Devil.
  • Does a good Ric Flair impression.
  • Ain't got nobody waiting at home. 
  • All he got, he had to steal.
  • Goddamnit baby you know he ain't lying to ya, he's only gonna tell ya one tiiiiimmmeeeaaahhhyeah.
  • No!
