Cageside Radio 12/20/09 - Debut show w/ Steve Lerner: Bret Hart signs w/ WWE, Benoit news, Sheamus, and more
Steve Lerner (S.L.L.) of Segunda Caida joins David Bixenspan of Cageside Seats for a new podcast dealing more with current news discussion than the existing Loser Leaves Town shows In the debut show, we talk about Bret Hart's signing with WWE for the road to Wrestlemania, the latest info that Michael Benoit relayed to Irv Muhnick, Test's brain damage, the WWE/Obama fiasco, Sheamus (which somehow segues into a mindbogglingly long discussion about Wikipedia's lamest edit wars that we loved, though your mileage may vary), ROH's mishaps at Final Battle, and more. It's quite long thanks in part to the folks at Wikipedia, but we had a good time and hope you'll have one listening.

Other than the edit wars portion of the podcast, pretty good.
I'm Buck Melanoma. Moley Russell's wart. Not her wart. Not her wart! I'm... I'm the wart. She's my tumor. My... my growth. My... uh, my pimple. I'm Uncle Wart. Just old Buck "Wart" Russell. That's what they call me, or Melanoma Head. - Uncle Buck

Thanks.
Figured I’d let the edit wars thing go and weigh feedback as opposed to cutting it back or editing it, just to get a feeling for the “different” show.

This was a lot of fun, I actually enjoyed the edit war.
Since SLL mentioned Werner Herzog talking about the Vince McMahon vs Shane McMahon storyline from 2001, I’ll use that as an excuse to put the Werner Herzog quote here:
“It’s fascinating because something very crude, something very raw is emerging. A very raw, primitive form of new drama is being born, as primitive and crude as it must have been in the earlier Greek times before Sophocles and before Euripides, when something like this emerged for the public eye. I do believe that what is fascinating about WrestleMania is the stories around it: the dramas between the owner of the whole show and his son, who are feuding, and his wife in the wheelchair who is blind, and he is then showing up in the ring with four girls who have huge, fake boobs, and he is fondling them. This is almost sort of an ancient Greek drama — evil uninterrupted by commercials. So, what does it say? It says that this sort of thing is more important that the fight itself (which of course is all staged and all manipulated). And that’s very interesting to me because apparently the emergence of a new drama has been understood by these people who invented WrestleMania.” – Werner Herzog

I hope that guy is kidding, the edit war portion was great. Nice job.
