    Huh. I didn't realize CRZ was still around doing this until just now.

    He still has his message board and tweets quite a bit during Raw and what not. We had him on the podcast last year which was cool for me since I loved reading his stuff ever since I found him back in 1998.

    Cool. I used to enjoy his literal blow-by-blow recaps of RAW. And I think he did Nitro too, didn't he?

    Yeah, his full archives are still up at www.slashwrestling.com ...great time killers to this day.

    Here is our interview with him:

    I liked this shoot although I think Rob has now officially gone off the deep end with his latest desperate tactic: CELEBRITY SHOOT INTERVIEWS (I wish that was only a bad joke).
    And even worse, the first one is Matt Striker interviewing Corey Feldman.
    This whole idea has disaster written all over it.

  6. Brian_BaylessApril 25, 2014 at 12:09 PM

    I think he has Tan Mom for the second one.

    Stern basically does celebrity shoot interviews with his guests and is roughly 1,000,000x the interviewer than Feinstein.

    Yeah, it's like Rob is openly begging Sean Oliver to keep taking away his business at this point.

    He seems to think he is a big shot now and had the other guy (forget his name) conduct the wrestling shoots

    Aye - Stern, when he gets someone good on, is God-tier. When the person opens up and there's a relaxed vibe, he gets great stuff.

    Well, as I learned yesterday, he was featured (albeit quickly) on a justie-themed television program. He's famous!

    The wrestling section of CRZ's board is one of the best discussion sites on the internet. I always check out the threads there every week.

    After graduating from the University of Tennessee, my buddy took up any odd job that he could because the job market was in the toilet. One of them was helping in the remodeling of a Chik Fila . The contractor who hired him would candidly shoot the shit with him during their lunch break. The guy got on the subject of his ex-wife, who (prior to their divorce) he allegedly tracked down at a hotel in Georgia and found her in a suite ...awaiting to be double teamed by "a pro wrestling tag team."


    My friend pressed him for details, but the guy couldn't remember names and the only time frame he provided was "mid 90s." After I heard about it, I deduced it may have been the Godwins.


    I toootally overlooked the American Males.

    I don't know-- you can't really say stuff like that anymore and then be surprised when there's a reaction against you. I'm sure he meant what he said, but as for intentionally trolling, I think he knew exactly what he was starting.

    Love the All Time PPV cards. I find myself yelling at my computer quite often when I disagree with something on those.

    And Graham has gotten quite a bit better after his less-than-stellar-nerve-filled first show. I'm impressed.

    The negative with these is there's always one that never shuts up, like Michael Hayes ruining all those roundtables.


    That would certainly happen with Scott Levy.

  29. OfficerFarvaApril 25, 2014 at 3:07 PM

    What would happen if you locked Riggs, Levy, JBL, Rick Steiner, a NXT rookie, and Harvey Whipplemans wife in a room together for 48 hours???

    And......Go

    not even a 1/10. I mean it was uninspired but that's just harsh

  33. kbjoneApril 25, 2014 at 3:15 PM

    The rookie would get anally violated by JBL (unless female), Riggs and Raven would fuck Harvey's wife, and Steiner would save the rookie by knocking JBL the fuck out.

    Nailing Harvey Whippleman's wife is the funniest thing ever. It looks to be a BoD meme too

    Harvey's wife would then get on top of a passed out JBL and try to fuck him

    Could Harvey Whippleman's wife be Harvey Whippleman in drag? I remember him winning the women's title that way on Raw.

    You know how to review a shoot interview. Props. Most people, usually ones that have been sent promotional material, give two paragraphs and say "you need to get this!" You, on the other hand, actually give away content.

    Who knew Riggs was so awesome that he could "keep up" with everyone but Lynn? Right. I'm sure he had more stamina, psychology and the moveset to keep up with a 1996 Rey Mysterio or Dean Malenko.

    ReplyDelete
  42. kbjoneApril 25, 2014 at 4:44 PM

    Maybe it's the overall tone, but I read that as "Among the guys Riggs worked with, the only one he couldn't keep up with was Lynn."


    I don't know if Riggs worked with Rey or Dean or Eddie in more than one-offs, though. But he was never considered a cruiserweight...

    Bayless good reviews, I enjoyed reading both. The behind the scenes party stories never get old and are always entertaining.

    Just listened to the ppv pod on my way home from work. Good stuff. Definitely Austin/Dude > Punk/Bryan for the context of the podcast.

    We need more list-a-manias!!! Best angles. Best matches. Scotts favorite intimate nights with HHH!

    Wonder if Striker's schtick of making up facts will be prevalent. "Here he is...the man whose films have grossed $100 billion worldwide...winner of 7 Academy Awards...and a Nobel Prize in Chemistry!...Corey Feldman!"

    I actually sat through three and a half hours of the Riggs shoot in one setting because it was so good.

    "So Corey, can you describe to us the thoughts in your head when you beat out Cuba Gooding, Jr. to win the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for your cameo in Red Line? How did Chad McQueen feel about you winning when he had the lead role and he wasn't even nominated?"
    If Striker asked a question that bogus, Corey's reaction would totally be worth the price of the DVD.
