woooooooo!

Shane being back was great though he looks really old

Also, Ryback suck

I thought you guys weren't going to be making these weekly or even possibly yearly or ever again. I'm glad you two are big fat liars! I love Endless Promo and I had to look elsewhere for another wrestling podcast. Now I have two! Even if this is for real the last one!

Just as a indication of how little you guys cared for Fast Lane (and maybe AJs run in WWE) AJ hit the clash on Jericho before going into the Calf Crusher. He also has hit it on Curtis Axel and I think The Miz.

Ryback getting gillberg chants was by far the best part of raw. I loved seeing Shane O'mac again but I don't think I've ever heard a real gillberg chant ( excluding his entrance music). I marked out like a 12 year old girl at a Bieber gig.

So how long before a HHH vs Shane match?

You guys..... I'm so happy!

My name is Ryback.. and I'm a bonified fear sucking parasite from the future and ya can't teach that. Bada boom the big guys in the room, how you doin?

AJ Styles did the Styles Clash in an episode of Smackdown on one of the Social Outcasts.

My name is Mat and I'm hot as hell, and you apparently can teach that.

@inferiorego: DON'T WAKE UP, ITS BEAUTY REST TIME!

Great discussion all around, Mat and Corey really go into the minutia which I appreciate since I actually only got into wrestling last year. I hope they continue to build on what raws and smackdowns they have left and don't botch Wrestlemania

Nice P-cast! You think these guys are listening?

1. How much was Mat multitasking while watching RAW that he could time all the replays AND count things like superkicks. That's dedication right there! But for a real challenge Mat should try counting all the superkicks in any given Young Bucks match. Because there ain't no party like a super kick party!!!!!!


2. Am I the only one who thinks that Shane will not end up fighting Undertaker? I mean the guys 40+ and not a wrestler. Last I heard he was doing business stuff in China. Seems more likely that they'll find a way to have Cena or someone else fight Undertake as a proxy for Shane.


3. I'm also very indifferent towards Shane because I wasn't watching WWF when he was there. His angles seemed cool, especially around the time of the WCW takeover thingy. But he was only in matches for a few years right? And yes, his big spots were cool and dangerous but that was only a few big spots. He didn't exactly make a career out of it doing it so I'm not sure that translates to him being any kind of wrestler now that he's Shane the Grey.


4. I'm not sure how I feel about the idea of banning the Styles Clash. Yes, it did injure Yoshi Tatsu (remember him?) and a few others because, as I've heard, it's unnatural to not tuck your head when you're in that position. But I've also heard that it's the easiest move to take if you simply don't tuck your head. You literally do nothing. All that being said, I don't think it actually looks particularly great so maybe I don't care at all.


5. Does anyone know if they banned the Curb Stomp because it was dangerous (which I find hard to believe) or because of some other reason (maybe the name was too graphic?).


6. My favorite entrances are Balor in demon mode, Bailey when she uses the inflatable tube men and Bray Wyatt when the whole firefly thing started.


7. Lastly, this is why I love Lucha Underground so much. They have vignettes that start like this:

You know, they say all men are created equal, but you look at me and you look at Mat Elfring, and you can see that statement is not true! See, normally if you go one-on-one with another wrestlin' fan, you got a 50-50 chance of winnin'. But I'm a genetic freak, and I'm not normal, so you got a 25% at best at beatin' me! And then you add Corey Schroeder to the mix? Your chances of winnin' drasticy go down.

Always a pleasure to listen to the Endless Promo or as I like to call it "The Insufferably Super Infrequent Wrestling Podcast of Giggling." Fastlane sounds bad. It's funny that you guys mention how bad the past year of WWE has been because I would say 2015 will go down as one of my all time favorite years in wrestling and part of that is me not watching that product if you don't count NXT. I did watch the Royal Rumble with my brother since he had the network but now I just read about it and shake my head. The real hotness in wrestling has been the past year of New Japan, Lucha Underground, and PWG. That is as much wrestling as I need to feel satisfied with that hobby and if I ever decide that I want to watch more, the LAST promotion I would go to is WWE. I'd rather start buying Hoodslam DVDs or subscribing to Chikara.

Mat indeed heard from a friend about the original Ryback gimmick, that friend's name is Corey because he told that to you on an older episode of this very podcast. Sorry I have a really good memory of trivial details for some reason. Thanks again for the podcast guys. I really enjoy hearing you guys complain about a product that you supposedly love enough to keep watching.

@mezmero: Actually, the whole Ryback thing comes from my friend/comedian Jordan Holmes.

@inferiorego:Well the first time I ever heard about that was on this podcast over a year ago. If I recall you sounded pretty baffled by that knowledge drop back then so I don't know where your mind was at the time. Perhaps Corey inception-ed you or something.

I was originally told back in 2013 at Never Knows Best Open Mic. I remember that night well because I was on the poster for the mic, in a Whiskey Media shirt, and that somehow led to talking about wrestling.

More comments than the normal podcast lol

I've decided to turn raw by the numbers into a drinking game.... who's with me?

@simestarkiller: Episode 11 of the show, which is now a "lost" episode was us turning Raw into a drinking game. A lot of it involved Randy Orton staring at things.

@inferiorego: sadly that episode was before my time, but you've now given me another rule for the game. So far it goes:

1 count = 1 shot

2 count = 2 shots

Superkick = 1 shot

Paul Heyman says Brock Lesnar = 1 shot

Point a mania sign = 1 shot

Raw replay = 1 shot

Finisher kickout = 1 shot

Randy Orton stares vacantly into a camera = 1 shot

Every time Michael Cole uses the term "vintage" = 1 shot

So does anyone else think Vince and Shane are going to pull a Vince Russo like swerve at mania, screw the undertaker and run raw as father and son?
