On Episode 11 of The Wrestling Culture Podcast, Dylan and I review our Top 10 Wrestlers and Top 10 Matches of 2011.

 

Wrestling Culture Episode 11

Agreed with most of the choices and was happy to see Dylan rate Ishikawa/Ikeda so high because that is an absolutely brutal match that feels like a war. I was only a little suprise with your ranking of the Dragon Gate 6 man Dave. I saw that live and thought it feel a little flat but part of that could have been attributed that that was the last match of the day in which I watched about 6 hours of live wrestling.

Watching it that weekend was hard as there was so much wrestling, not to mention crazy stuff going on in my own life. But I watched it a few days later and liked it a fair amount and would probably rank it top out of what I saw from DGUSA this year.

Uhhh, anyone else not able to hear Dave at all on the latest show Dylan sounds fine but all I get is silence when he's not talking

 

I tried ff to diffrent points in the show and it appears to happen throughout

Not being funny but you need to listen with both earbuds in. Each guy is in each ear.

is this just a skype thing or something else that causes that. If it is something fixable, I would prefer hearing both guys in one ear bud since I listen at work and usually can only have one ear bud in.

For me I was just listning in my car through the mp3 player jack

When I listened to it, I was definitely lower in volume. For our next show I am going to do some work ahead of time to have myself on a mic/headset so I am clearer.

And as always, thanks for listening everybody. Even if for some of you it was only to Dylan.

Very though provoking show and it is an issue that I have dealt with on committing so much time on a hobby that I know has very corrupt aspects. Dave, my wife and I have also struggle with weight issues since we have been together and usually are able to lose a lot of weight but not sustain the loss due to lack of commitment to a balanced healthy diet. What you spoke on about the differences in the way people treat you is especially true and while wrestling is a definite extreme of the problem, I would say the U.S. and Canada as a whole has an image problem to some degree.

Thanks for sharing that Soup, and I totlally agree. I find it's even worse with so much attention being paid to the "obesity epidemic". Yes, we want everyone to be healthy but acting someone is less deserving of respect based on their weight does noone any good.
