Jericho welcomes <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/wrestler/bo-dallas" title="Bo Dallas">Bo Dallas</a> to the show.Dallas informs that this is his first podcast appearance and the first time fans will hear him talk out of character, so he’s a little concerned with how people with react to how <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/crazy/" title="crazy">crazy</a> he is. Jericho says he and Dallas bonded on a bus ride during a recent European tour, and he realized that they had a lot of things in common. Dallas says those long <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/trips/" title="trips">trips</a> to Europe are often when people bond with each other.Dallas says the blind refusal of facts is what really bothers him about various conspiracy theories. The minute you talk about any conspiracy theories, people automatically think you’re crazy and ignore everything you say. People are led by mainstream beliefs and anything outside of that norm is simply wrong, despite how many facts there are to support these theories.He says that one big conspiracy that he believes in is the ‘Hollow Earth’ theory. This theory states that the Earth is hollow and there is a race of people living there. He says that while scientists claim the centre of the Earth is all molten lava, we’ve never dug to a depth that can prove this.

July 6, 2017

He talked about this on his show yesterday, and it’s been stuck in his head ever since. He can’t believe that ‘professional’ wrestlers are crying backstage over being scripted to win a fake Title.Russo informs that he has worked with some of the biggest stars the industry ever produced. King Kong Bundy, Hogan, <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/wrestler/the-rock" title="The Rock">The Rock</a>, Austin, they were all professionals. They came to work every day, did their job, and went home at the end of the night. They carried themselves perfectly, and they knew that they were working in the entertainment business.Somewhere along the line, the wrestlers became marks. He knows that this doesn’t apply to all the performers, because he doesn’t picture guys like Braun Strowman or Roman Reigns acting this way. For the most part however, today’s generation of wrestlers are taking themselves and the business so seriously that they forget about the actual important things in life.

July 5, 2017

<a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/russo/" title="Russo">Russo</a> opens today’s show speaking about Netflix’s GLOW. He says that he watched the first few episodes and he was absolutely hooked. He thinks the show is very well written and acted, and it’s no surprise to him that the show is seeing success.

It was more of a drama but FOX wanted a comedy, therefore they passed on his show.Russo says that his disagreements with many wrestling journalists are simply that, disagreements. He does not hate any of them, and when he picks apart their silly opinions it’s just entertainment for him. However, he does not like being labeled a racist or a homophobe which a couple of them have done, and that made things personal for him.He says that he is neither a racist or a homophobe, and if anyone has been discriminated his whole life it’s been him. He’s an Italian from New York, and people just think he acts a certain way due to his upbringing. He says that people continue to make up silly things about him and everyone believes the nonsense.

Bischoff on Wrestling Recap w/ Joe Koff – ROH Talk, Money in the Bank Thoughts, McGregor vs. Mayweather, More!

June 22, 2017

Bischoff mentions that he predicted months ago that Mayweather vs. McGregor was going to happen, because there was too much money to be made on both <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/sides/" title="sides">sides</a> for it not to happen. He says that while Mayweather might be the favourite, McGregor is not your typical boxer. This might lead to Mcgregor putting Mayweather in some uncomfortable positions in the boxing ring.Bischoff says that he can’t even compare this bout to CM Punk’s <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/debut/" title="debut">debut</a> UFC outing against Mickey Gall. He says that McGregor has a much better chance to beat Mayweather than Punk had to beat Gall. At least McGregor is a fighter, where Cm Punk is not.Bischoff informs that at one point he had an opportunity to purchase the UFC for $2 Million. This was ’98-’99, and the UFC brand was in the toilet. He took the call and listened, but he had no interest in the company at that time. The Fertitta brothers and Dana <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/white/" title="White">White</a> would soon come into the picture and turn the UFC into a massive organization.Speaking about the controversy surrounding the finish of the Women’s Money in the Bank ladder match, Bischoff thinks all the fan backlash is silly. He says that this is a storyline, and if you’re trying to make some kind of social/political statement from this, you’re going too far.

Russo says he doesn’t like to talk about this much, but he played an instrumental part in bringing Prichard into TNA.

June 15, 2017

Jericho welcomes Big Show to the show.Show informs that he has lost 90 lbs as of this date. For years he was the biggest guy everywhere he went, and he made big guys look small when he entered the ring with them. It was his gimmick, and he enjoyed it very much. Now that he’s at the end of the career, he doesn’t need that feeling anymore and he knew it was time for him to make a change.He says his motivation to lose weight came as a result of a conversation with <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/wrestler/johncena" title="John Cena">John Cena</a>. He and Cena were jokingly taking jabs at one another one day and as he often did, Show was making fun of Cena’s body in the sense that he <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/lives/" title="lives">lives</a> and eats right but he’s eventually going to die anyway.

This was the first episode of Monday Nitro that he co-wrote with Eric Bischoff, and he really wishes they could let bygones be bygones and move on with their lives without all of this bad <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/blood/" title="blood">blood</a>.Russo informs that he originally reached out to WCW after <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/wrestler/vince-mcmahon" title="Vince McMahon">Vince McMahon</a> told him to get a nanny to take care of his kids.

He says that when he left WWE, he called Buck the same day and asked him to be his booking agent for a 10% fee of all money earned.

June 13, 2017

<h1>Blocks 1 & 2:</h1>A listener calls into the show and informs that he recently watched an episode of Lucha Underground and was fascinated by Dario Cueto’s performance. Taz agrees and points out that the actor who portray’s Cueto on Lucha Underground never worked in the wrestling business before, rather he’s an actor who was brought in to play that role.The caller also asks Taz if he thinks WWE would ever go down the same road, by bringing in actors to play authority figures or managers on WWE programming. Taz doesn’t think WWE would do this because the wrestling business is somewhat of a fraternity, and they like to stick to their own. It would also be a lot of work to train actors into the wrestling business, in terms of how the business works backstage and in <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/front/" title="front">front</a> of a live audience.Taz’s Producer Dennis Jones attended a CZW show this past weekend and although this overly violent brand of wrestling normally isn’t his cup of tea, he had a good time at this show.

Lawler considers himself lucky to have been wrestling for 46 years and he has never required a knee surgery.Lawler worked a cage match recently and had ‘The Mouth of the South’ Jimmy Hart in his corner for the match. He says that the cage was actually a very stable structure which surprised him, because he has worked in some pretty sad looking cages during his career. He informs that Hart threw his megaphone into cage at one point during the match and that reminded him of a cage match he worked against ‘Macho Man’ Randy Savage many years ago.Savage had Miss Elizabeth accompany him to the ring, and at one point she jumped into the cage.
