WHAT AN AWESOME PAUL BEARER IMPRESSION! LOL XD

[lukiebabie]

Whats really missing is cocaine. haha  so true, i wanna see sheamus screaming and his eyes bulging out of his face please!!

[kanedasrifle]

LOL

Great Episode

Gibson cuts a mean Promo

[HanleyIsWatchingYou]

Kane getting the belt is overdue? Oh dear.

I really like Glen Jacobs, because he's a dedicated performer that has put a lot into the company over the years. And also because he seems to know his place in the company, even if some of his fans do not.

Kane is not the most talented or the most over member of the roster in any single area, so he should not be champion, regardless of how long he's been in the company. WWE is an entertainment company. Their champions should hinge on their audience.

[JMBitchboy]

@HanleyIsWatchingYou Are you kidding me?!? Kane has a loyal fanbase and is very over with the fans. The internet community has begged for years to have the title strapped on Kane and even if he is past his prime, the WWE finally came up with a great storyline for him to launch his big push. Not since 2003 has Kane become fitter, deliver epic promos and put on some of his best matches.

[antsman88]

@HanleyIsWatchingYou well if you realy look at kane, his main function was to fued with the undertaker when he first came in, and everything after that has kind of sucked. i totally agree with you about him not deserving the title. one thing i could never get over was him winning the title from austin mere months into the rattlesnake's title reign in 1998. i know it was only for a day, but they take the belt off austin who'd been built up bigger than anyone and then put it on Kane?!?! come on!

[logan48227]

So when is Corey joining the live Wrestling Roundtable tapings? She's funny, cute, & most importantly.....knowledgable. Getting a woman who knows her stuff on the show may draw more women to watch you guys.

[5starwrestlingradio]

In all honesty,I would give Paul creative control in terms of booking and making talent.However,financial matters would be hidden from him completely.He is an amazing booker and talent handler,but not with money.

[Sneezlebob]

at 3:30 when the guy is talking about Flair vs Lethal he obviously didnt know that the feud has been going on for about 5-6 weeks.

[skullofajester]

great stuff with the Mel Gibson bit, and a drinking game? you've got my attention

[WrestlingRoundtable]

@skullofajester Thanks!

[JakeTheFakeReal]

Just re-watched the show and have come up with a theory: Dixie is lying.

Thoughts?

[MarkPaulMcIntyre]

I almost choked at that beginning.. lol. Great show guys.

[WrestlingRoundtable]

@MarkPaulMcIntyre haha, thanks. I'm thinking of making it(an opening joke or funny thought) a regular feature.

-E, Wrestling Roundtable

[Brewcity227]

Fuck Rey.

[Frank15982]

I have watched the Machine Guns' matches from Japan, and I am glad that they are finally getting a push. They might be spot monkeys at times. But they're pretty good.

[JakeTheFakeReal]

Kane is champ!

Paul E. Dangerously for TNA!

[The80srox]

Great show as usual guys. I love the term 'Hogan and friends'

[WrestlingRoundtable]

@The80srox Thank you. Did you know they're actually using it now?? For the Q&A tour he's doing? I should sue ;) ha

-E, Wrestling Roundtable

[mkluseboy]

really pumped to watch sundays show! i loved the attitude era...tasteless...but funny

[djack0wns89]

I love the fact that Kane won the World Title. My only complaint was that once again, they fucked Rey Mysterio over by making his second World Championship reign even shorter than his first and making him look like a transitional champion. Just my opinion. Great show as always guys! Keep up the great work! :)

[WrestlingRoundtable]

@djack0wns89 Thanks a lot! We will, and hey, at the very least, he wasn't squashed every week while champion this time around, right? It didn't take his friend dying to get the title this time, right? heh, and hey, at least he got a good PPV defense with Swagger first before dropping it!

-E, Wrestling Roundtable

[supercholoman]

@djack0wns89 im glad got the title put on him as well but he too will get fucked at summerslam when the undertaker makes his return... oh well..... great show yall

[hardlyfunny]

Coke is defiantly what's missing from wrestling these days.

[s0deer]

I really feel that the the Kurt angle storyline Tna is doing is so obvious i really dont care for it but i gotta say he can still go, but I dont think he need another title reign. As for Kane winning the belt (applause) great for him. Miz winning Raw's MITB was good and they are ELEVATING a new star.

What are your prediction to the Jon Jones/ Vladimir fight and the rest of the card?

Great show by the way.

[xX95rddXx]

where was the rest of the panel? probably extremely busy. hope to hear from everyone next time

[Miclet23]

By the way Eric, I meant to say it on the show but as far as the Mel Gibson stuff goes...you have problems man ha ha

[WrestlingRoundtable]

@Miclet23 ha, well, I got 99 problems. Mel has 100 ;) j/k

-E, Wrestling Roundtable

[Schramm456]

@WrestlingRoundtable Whoah, sorry Eric that was me, on a different computer, msut have used my friend's account ha ha

[djack0wns89]

And about what you guys said about Kane's one day title run back in 1998, I believe in the theory that it was never supposed to happen. I think originally in that match from KOTR 98, Austin was supposed to bust Kane open and peel the mask off to show Kane was bleeding and Austin would win. But when Taker hit Austin with a chair, it legimately made him bleed and they had to change the outcome at the last moment. So they just had Austin win it back the following night. Once again, just my opinion

[WrestlingRoundtable]

@djack0wns89 ha, no, it was supposed to happen. I had the same thought, however, 12 years ago ; Chris & I were watching the PPV live at his house, and I couldn't believe that they'd take the belt off of Austin so soon(after all, we had grown up being used to year-long title reigns for the babyfaces at a time), so as soon as the PPV went off the air, we rewound the tape, and right after the UT's chairshot, Austin blades, so we were stunned it was done on PURPOSE, ha.

[foxnetworkchannel2]

me and my friend just got a Wrestling Round Table T shirt in the mail today, looks great dude keep up the good work.

[truedemonicfire]

I have been having trouble listening on the day of the show on both your website and the Radio site. Anything to help with that?

[Schramm456]

As always Eric it was fun being on the show

-Ryan from MA

[bryanero]

speaking of crippled, hasnt hhh had like 3 surgeries this year? karma's a crippler

[MyLeftKnee1]

It took many years, but I can finaly say that I'm bigger than Lex Luger!

Speaking of Ric Flair and Cocaine...

Heyman won't go because he owns a working tv set...

Goldberg v Gibson UFC 125!!!

I watched the Raw MITB match, saw that the Divas title match was next, made a sandwhich, came back, and the Tag title match had just finished.

It feels like it's been 13 years since the last studio Roundtable vid...

Fuck R Truth. His theme music sucks. What's up? THE FUCKING ROOF IS WHAT'S UP!

[WrestlingRoundtable]

@MyLeftKnee1 I feel like that too, heh - it has been a long time, but by this time next week that wait'll be over because we're taping Sunday! And I like R-Truth, ha. Well, his current incarnation may be stale as hell, but I guess I mean Ron Killings in general.

-E, Wrestling Roundtable

[edgehead2002]

@WrestlingRoundtable quite honestly i got chills in my spine right before bret came out because i thought i was gonna be danielson but i was sadly dissapointed

[reh629]

hogan is a legend but he has slowly destroyed his legacy in the same vain as evander holyfield.

[APEXPREADTORx]

fuck wwe talk about tna and mma

[GWRevolution2008]

Wrestling storyline writers are getting lazy on both wwe and tna .. and TNA is fishing for shit to make them better and theyre doing everything wrong in the process. Dixie Carter just needs to stay behind the scenes and sign the checks and let Paul Heyman try to salvage whats left of this glorified Orlando theme park attraction LOL.

[WalkerXL1]

that mel gibson guy sure has a unusual opinion on things lol

[WrestlingRoundtable]

@WalkerXL1 To say the least, ha

-E, Wrestling Roundtable

[AdawgGonz]

any thoughts on the heat between vince and shawn? cuz of danielson

im going to raw on monday and i was hoping that hbk would have been the gm but doesnt look like that will happen. i was thinking vince is getting a little anal to all the stars that jump to tna or shoot abt wwe, and then takes them off the website or erases them from history. next thing he'll kick them out of the HOF. lol

[WrestlingRoundtable]

@AdawgGonz I only just read about this supposed heat, but it was in the context of "As opposed to the rumor, there is none," heh. Besides, not like it's the first time WWE's fired Danielson either. And he'll be back anyway. And McMahon isn't 'getting' like that, he's always been like that, ha. And hey, if you're going to RAW, let us know how it is. Maybe a "Wrestling Roundtable" sign ;) ha, thanks for writing.

-E, Wrestling Roundtable

[AdawgGonz]

@WrestlingRoundtable very true. yes raw on monday. yes i will make a sign just for you guys. hopefully they dont take it. i will send you guys the info and the details on how the night was. i also did agree on the way that the miz was gonna cash in the briefcase. that was a great moment and i would like it to be a running joke if miz tries cashing it in and hhh comes back or undertaker pops up. lol that would be good. meh?

[AdawgGonz]

@WrestlingRoundtable i just met jericho at the mall. he was doing signing for the new fozzy cd that just came out. i tried to get him to say he supports the wrestling roundtable. him being him, he cut the line and got up so i couldnt get him to do anything but sign my wrestlemania ticket.

[Crookmeisteren]

tna is kicking ass in the ratings in most other countries other than america, it is the highest viewed wrestling show in england by a long way and its a similar situation in the rest of europe, i think many american fans are ignorant and they switch on and see the small arena with the lower production values and turn off and don't give it a chance. i thought when tna got jeff hardy it wud help, probably one of the top three most popular wrestlers in the world atm and it didn't do anything

[WrestlingRoundtable]

@Crookmeisteren Yes, TNA does great internationally as far as reach and ratings too. Even their biggest gate/attendance has been from house shows on their last UK tour. Sure they canceled tours in Israel & Australia, but you're right about the perception of the small arena in Orlando. As for Hardy, the only wrestlers who've truly spiked their ratings were Sting & Hogan. That's it really. They've had Ric Flair, Jeff Hardy twice, Kurt Angle, etc. & they've done little if anything.

-E

[Crookmeisteren]

@WrestlingRoundtable its a shame for them really, i really thought that having hardy would help them but i guess a lot of his fans from wwe are fickle

[tjwwe]

lol'd at Mel Gibson, eric you're a comedy genius.

[WrestlingRoundtable]

@tjwwe Thanks, glad you enjoyed!

-E, Wrestling Roundtable

[MrUndertakerHBKfan]

Hogan is a legend! :-)

[karan6]

Cena Better have a fucking Heel Turn that 7 on 7 match makes no sense at all just picking 6 randoms to team with Cena an a fragile Bret Hart?

[codyxkeith]

im all for the whole ecw thing and im really not digging the whole nexus thing in the wwe. so i guess im opposite of u guys. im just a sucker to the old ecw days. it just gets to me. but tna is really confusing me with so many storylines with kevin and jeff and stings storyline and abyss saying "they're coming" and apparently its not the whole ecw part. so i have no idea what the storyline is for that or any other. i miss the days of tna when aj and joe and daniels worked tna. and i love paul H!

[WrestlingRoundtable]

@codyxkeith Yeah, you're right, all that IS confusing, heh, because Heyman they were banking on to be their "huge TNA-changing announcement" and of course that didn't happen, so I guess that's been dropped? Who knows. I can't keep track of their shit from one week to the next, but neither can they so how can they fans be expected to? ha
