🎧 Listen to the full episode on Cultaholic Wrestling
Sable's character turn
It's been a complete shift. It's been 0 to 90%. For ages she was just kind of like, oh, hi, not showing much charisma at all. And then literally this and the go-home, she just went, do you know what? I'm a fucking shit of it. You're so a gang of fucking snakes.
WWF 1998 business
This sold out without any matches really being announced, and the WWF is hot as fuck right now.
Gerald Brisco legacy
It's weird getting older and knowing that Briscoe was a stooge and he was silly, and you go back and look at the Briscoes and you're like, oh, they were shooters, they were fucking serious legit boys.
Vince Russo booking philosophy
I love the fact that every character on TV no matter their position on the card has to have a character. I think that's important.
WWF branding transition
I think by the time WrestleMania is in the rear view mirror, there is no trace of the old WWF logo ever again. It's all gone.
Goldust character changes
I don't know whether this is going to be a permanent change. I think it was more just one for this feud. We don't have much longer left if memory serves with the artist formerly known as Goldust.
John Cena/Claudio Castagnoli
I was surprised to find out because obviously Claudio been an out and out coffee pervert for years, but to find out that John Cena actually likes a good coffee. I was like, oh, that really surprised me.
Yokozuna trivia
I was told before I came in by Aidan Gibbons that before he died, Yokozuna was eating 240 eggs a day.
Dave Meltzer/Wrestling Observer
Dave Meltzer had a bit of a funny in him there. Little cheeky bits of a funny bit. We're going back through the old observers from the 90s. Dave used to be funnier than he is today.
Backstage/Podcast production
I've got real anxiety recording in this studio these days. I feel like every time a new challenge awaits.
