Shooters Radio [236]: Tyson/Jericho mimics Tyson/Austin, Starrcade '86 Scaffold Match Live Commentary (Nick Piccone)

June 18, 2020 17:12 - 1 hour - 168 MB

AEW's banking on Mike Tyson for some mainstream exposure - and that's a good thing for the company. As far as how it played out on the latest episode of Dynamite... well... let's just say it was as close to a recreation of the Tyson/Austin angle from January 1998 as you could get. This week, Nick and Vaughn discuss why AEW decided to go that route instead of setting up Tyson vs. Jericho differently so it wouldn't come to look like such a carbon copy of an angle 22 years ago. The guys also d...

May 22, 2020 04:22 - 27 minutes - 25 MB

The Race for the Record practically saved MLB when it was thought to be dead. Coming off a strike season there was a legitimate concern for lack of attendance all-around MLB. Baseball's Commish at the time, Bud Selig knew about the steroid use in MLB, but chose to ignore it and line his pockets with it. That being said, why should we put all the blame on the players? Michael Jordan was the GOAT in terms of supreme athletes and basketball. But, what about the other sports? Who changed the ga...

Barry Bonds has the most walks in MLB history and is technically the HR King. He received 241 votes this year, needing 298 to get in the HOF. Will/should he get in? Is Barry Bonds still the GOAT?
