It's the v2 Podcast! 22nd Jan 2013

The talking is almost over, the Raw before the war has finished and now we are mere days from the Royal Rumble.

There is really a sense of excitement and intrigue in the wrestling world at the moment, and some of it filters through to this week's podcast, although invariably grumpy Gavin turns up as per usual.

We've got TNA and WWE chat for you as ever with Chris Wilkerson, Adam Davey, Richard Hudson and Gavin Duenas as we take a look at the week that has been and the days ahead.

In Part One we talk TNA. There's a sparked interest in Aces and Eights and where TNA aims to go on their Road to Lockdown UK Tour, as well as our views on what could be a new heel tag team forming between Bobby Roode and Austin Aries. Of course, we take a look at the wedding of the year so far as Brooke and Bully hit a bump on the road of love.

Part Two focuses on WWE, and we cannot avoid the Rumble from the word go. The match itself looks set to be an open one, with WWE doing their level best to build it up and add some interesting narrative. And then there's CM Punk vs The Rock, a match that has every wrestling fan excited. The two had more chance to antagonise each other this week, with Paul Heyman, Vickie Guerrero and The Shield adding some variety to the feud.

Part Three is our usual random topic discussion section. This week we take a look at where we think Shawn Michaels ranks on the list of greats and find ourselves wondering aloud about how much mainstream coverage makes you the top man. We also have a look at who we would pick if the Radicals were formed again. Before we had Guerrero, Benoit, Saturn and Malenko, but which four would we take from TNA to move into WWE and which four would we swap in the other direction.

I hope you enjoy the show, and for those of you at TNA's Wembley Impact show this week do come say hello to Chris & Gav wearing their rather funky podcast t-shirts!

Just want to say to anyone from Wales, apologies from myself for the idea of a 'Welsh match' between Rob Terry & Mason Ryan.

Mr Hudson, the link isn't working

Oh dear, I've broken the website, this is not good news for me

I think Chris has set loose some gremlins on it (hopefully not the dog faced variety), shame as I gave you a shout out too!

It works if I go on the site, but not using that link. http://v2journal.com/wrestling-articles.html

It should be working now, just tried again on the OP link.

Nice Twitter shout out thanx lads, didn't realise you only had 2 followers Gav!

Maybe I'll tweet you one day!

I'll look forward to it!

Enjoyed part 3 (not listened to part 1 & 2) personally I'd have Savage about HBK but Savage is my all time fav so bit biased! (Even own his rap album which brilliantly awful)

Could have Orton as the leader of 3MB invading TNA
Agreed with AJ, Joe and Kazaniels would be an awesome new radicals like group

Rob Terry vs Mason Ryan in an inflatable sheep on a pole match!

Another good listen

I've got my fingers crossed for a shout out next week

Just about to give this a listen! Seg 3 looks good on paper!

Ill listen to it tomorrow, but i have been a regular listen and i do enjoy them.

Keep it up lads

Good stuff guys, finished listening to part 2 and 3 today really enjoyed the hbk/goat debate!

#badgermash

Cheers guys, means a lot to hear that the work is appreciated, we enjoy making it but enjoy it even more that you find it a good listen.

I love how Hero is so in to this after me having to literally drag him screaming into doing his first one just before Christmas!

I was nervous!
Joining a podcast where one guy is a walking Encyclopedia of wrestling, one trains others how to do public speaking and one that writes wrestling articles for Bleacher it was fairly daunting for me.
I should have realised though Id quickly become the breakout star of the show.

You should so PR Hero, you've made me sound like some sort of professional and usually the other two are just tinky winky n dipsy

So who between us is Laa Laa or Po?

I assume I have to be the most camp one of those two after my hello from last week backfired

Just finished listening to it and thought I'd comment as this is the first one I've heard...and after hearing it it wont be the last either,I thought it was fantastic
Great work guys
My personal highlights were 'badgermash' and likening Rock's selling to being shocked with a defribulator
Thanks fellas,keep up the good work
