March 1, 201510 yr Author comment_5656594 Come on Sleaze... if he sounds this way the entire show, I gotta tap out. One bad mic and you bury the show. Just like HHH.
March 1, 201510 yr comment_5656597 I listened, I enjoyed, but as a guy who's done a podcast or two, I offer up some advice: ease up on the audio meme drops. You know how when a kid gets their first video camera, and they play with every single visual filter setting and make an unwatchable short film that looks like a Youtube remix of Natural Born Killers? It's the same basic tendency. And yeah, Sleaze was legit unintelligible a good 50% of the time, rendering his content moot. Those are the kind of things that make listeners give up on an amateur podcast. The rules for some of the contests seemed a bit confusing, the trick questions were cruel, and in general Johnny Sorrow needs to sound a little bit less like the all-powerful ringleader at a GWAR concert. Anyway, that's my opinion, and I'm sincerely trying to help.
March 1, 201510 yr Author comment_5656598 Jingus, I appreciate the input. I've been doing real radio and internet radio for a long time. I like drops, and sure..Matt went a little nuts but this is a show in a state of evolution. We'll work that out. Sleaze's mic problems were a problem, but we committed to having the returning champ on so there ya go. And we made fun of the problem. I like the confusing rules and I'm working on making them less confusing, again it's a show working itself out, AND the point is to make people laugh and enjoy themselves for an hour. I really can't change my voice, and that's just how I sound. I do appreciate criticism. But.... I'm actually wondering how the fuck the "trick" questions were "cruel". This is a show for people to bust balls and have fun, first and foremost. Oh and big thanks to Word Hoard for the graphic.
March 1, 201510 yr comment_5656602 I'm actually wondering how the fuck the "trick" questions were "cruel". This is a show for people to bust balls and have fun, first and foremost. Maybe I got the wrong impression. I admit to being not-sober when I listened, and I am not a ball-buster personality. So that's probably just a thing that we can chalk up to different senses of humor. The audio problems are the real dealbreakers. I know how hard it is, you know how hard it is, but that doesn't mean anything to casual listeners who are used to hearing crystal-clear audio on the Alvarez podcasts and don't know how much money/time/effort it takes to sound like that. When you can't understand what the person is saying, that's the kind of red flag that drives people away.

March 1, 201510 yr comment_5656624 There's an asterix due to the mic thing. Starrcade 97 all over again.
March 1, 201510 yr comment_5656629 Eh, I had it won in regulation and almost got screwed out of it because Johnny needed to get in his classy Benoit tribute

March 1, 201510 yr comment_5656650 Kris, we discussed this last night and we determined you're too good a shooter to ever be allowed to compete.
March 1, 201510 yr comment_5656660 So I guess that my appearances will be special attractions like Lesnar I see how it is
March 1, 201510 yr comment_5656662 So I guess that my appearances will be special attractions like Lesnar I see how it is I think Kris goes on the show after somebody can win three shows in a row.
March 1, 201510 yr comment_5656663 Kris going on a perfecto run on the show would be the equivalent of 16 Germans, I'm pretty sure.
March 2, 201510 yr comment_5656672 As the First Ever Winner of the First Ever Pro Wrestling Trivia Internet Podcast, BRAINBUSTER!,I would like take the time to sincerely apologize to all the members of the Sleeze Synod such as Will who eagerly anticipated to hear my melodious, dulcet voice bring to them the most riveting content on the internet and another championship victory (I lost to someone who knew the exact number of fucking victories that The Gambler had, cut me some slack!). When you are the biggest star in the history of a nascent, burgeoning phenomenon, you have a certain responsibility to the show and the fans and last night I failed that responsibility. The exact same computer and microphone were used that I have used to exact record all my podcasts and I could not have predicted such a catastrophe. From the booming voice of God to sounding like I was a lost soul in a fishbowl. OH! How The Mighty Have Fallen! WAIT! A second I think I got it, for the first time I did not record in my mother's basement (where all good wrestling fans belong) rather in my ex-girlfriend's bungalow! So blame her because Lord knows I do for a whole host of things. :P I kid, I kid, I kid. Seriously, I am sorry about it and like I said I was using the exact same equipment as always and really could not have predicted the audio issues. Thank you Johnny for standing by me when the going got tough, I appreciate it. I have total confidence that Johnny and the show will continue to sweep nation even with this little hiccup of me losing.
March 2, 201510 yr comment_5656713 I knew the Tito Santana quote and shouted so out loud during it. I need help
March 2, 201510 yr comment_5656795 Just listened and it was another great episode. I'm enjoying the drops as well, it adds to the bullshit/non formal ambiance
March 2, 201510 yr comment_5656807 According to Solie's title historiens, the Razor Ramon who held the USWA Heavyweight belt (defeated Bill Dundee 4/3/95, lost to Lawler 5/1/95) was in fact Scott Hall.
