    This week on BoredWrestlingFan Radio, Joe, G, JT, and Mark are joined by Senior director of Marketing and PR for Cirque Du Soleil, former ECW personality Lou D’Angeli, previously known as Sign Guy Dudley and Lou E. Dangerously.  Lou talks about getting his start in the wrestling business through ECW, who came up with the Sign Guy Dudley character, the origins of Lou E. Dangerously, and much more.  He talks about life in Las Vegas, plugs a band, and talks hockey with us as well.  We span his entire wrestling career, including WWE’s version of ECW, so you don’t want to miss this!

    In the news, we talk about Vince McMahon’s appearance on the “Stone Cold Podcast” on the WWE Network, as well as CM Punk’s follow-up appearance on The Art of Wrestling with Colt Cabana.  We reveal other wrestlers who could have died under the watch of the WWE medical staff.  We give you the latest updates on legal matters surrounding Heath Slater, Teddy Hart, and former OVW talent Rip Steel.  We’ve got news surrounding Impact Wrestling and Global Force Wrestling.  Plus, CM Punk is headed to the octagon for UFC.  All this and much, much more!  Tune in!

    This week on BWFRadio, we talk about the fallout from WWE Survivor Series, including the arrival of Sting, which the crew is split on as far as how big of a deal it actually was.  We discuss the following night on RAW, and our thoughts about the Anonymous RAW General Manager returning next week, despite having been revealed as Hornswoggle a while back.  We praise Lucha Underground as a must-see show for wrestling fans.

    In the second half, we talk about what everybody is talking about – CM Punk’s appearance on Colt Cabana’s “Art of Wrestling” podcast.  We try to be objective as we talk about such topics as Punk’s accusations against WWE’s doctor (including a story from 2010 revolving around last week’s guest Charlie Haas), Triple H’s reputation for not putting talent over, and of course Ryback’s botches in matches and spots with Punk.

    Also in the news, Yoshi Tatsu is injured at the hands of AJ Styles, Scott Steiner signs with Global Force Wrestling, Jeff Hardy can work Canada (with some restrictions), and Mike Tenay may no longer be doing commentary when IMPACT returns on Destination America in January.  All this and more on BWF Radio!

    This week on BWF Radio, the crew are joined by indy star “The Handicapped Hero” Gregory Iron, who talks about his start in professional wrestling, being inspired by Zack Gowen, his friendship with Johnny Gargano, and the infamous moment in Chicago with CM Punk and Colt Cabana.  We get into Gregory’s wrestling DVD collection and talk about the benefits of owning physical copies over digital media such as the WWE Network.  In the news, we talk Phil Brooks on Talking Dead, learn why G is now calling the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal the “ARMBAR,” and learn about a surprising substance now banned by the WWE.  Brooke Tessmacher returns to social media, and Le’d Tapa leaves TNA.  We learn the value of stock held by higher up members of the WWE.  All this, and much, much more.

  5. WWE RAW 3/3/14 – We Want Punk.

    Leave a Comment

    That Damn Double C’s Dallas Stars beat my Sabres and ended their winning streak tonight.  But that’s hockey talk.  You’re here for wrestling.  You guys want to know what happened on Monday Night RAW.  Did CM Punk show up?  The hell if I know.  I’m still waiting to get RAW to review for you.  I watched most of the show, and I actually didn’t want to leave when I had to because there was a good segment going on.  So, let’s see what I can do from memory before I actually get a copy of the show. I watch until I have to leave.  Then I forget what happened and have to relay it to you as I watch it again.  So yes, I suffer through most of this show TWICE for you.  You’re welcome.  Now go run along to the SmackDown review and tell G how great he is.

    Jorge returns to BWF Radio, and the show goes off the rails – and off the air, apparently.  The site slowed to a crawl during the broadcast, but those who jumped on early were able to listen and chat with no problems.  Mark said bad words, prompting Joe to put in the chat “the BoredWrestlingFan program does not endorse or condone anything Mark says.”  We discuss the wrestling television of the week, do TWO break songs, then jump into the news, where we hear rumored names for the 2014 class of the WWE Hall of Fame.  We get the latest news on CM Punk.  Where does Daniel Bryan fit in at WrestleMania XXX?  And we pay our respects to a fallen member of WWE’s crew.  All this, and much more on BWF Radio!

  10. Things you must watch on the WWE Network – WWE’s ECW

    Leave a Comment

    The WWE Network launches in less than three weeks, and there is a wealth of programming available immediately after you pay your first $9.95.  Over the next few weeks, I will be giving you my personal picks of things to watch on demand on the Network.  Today, I’ll be focusing solely on WWE’s ECW.  Many people hated the product, considering it a bastardization of the Extreme Championship Wrestling we all knew and loved.  At the time, I had long since given up hope that the magic of the original would be captured full time, so my disappointment wasn’t as deep as it was for some.  In fact, the brand produced some great television, if sometimes for the wrong reasons.

    (We know that every single PPV on this list will be available.  Let’s assume for argument’s sake that the non-PPV stuff listed is on there as well.)
