We’re joined first by attorney Ken Hesser to talk the Levy et. al vs. WWE lawsuit, including what happens if WWE or the Levy side loses, potential major changes that WWE could be forced to make, a look at similar cases of this nature and what happened, what WWE would owe its wrestlers if they were classified as employees instead of independent contractors, and tons more!

August 26 2008 Bryan and Vinny Show
Well, we finally did it — the worst Bryan & Vinny Show of all time. This is what happens when all you have to talk about is Raw and Smackdown and you’ve got nothing better to do with your life for a full hour. At least it’s not free to drive off potential customers.

August 23 2008 Karl Stern Show
On this ALL NEW edition of the Karl Stern Classic Wrestling Audio show I answer a mailbag full of greatness.

Also, perhaps my favorite opening montage ever.

August 22 2008 Adam and Mike Show
The original alternate returns this week with a promise to not break the RSS feed. We could be lying about said promise, but we will have no idea for sure until Tony yells at us. This week, topics include, and are pretty much limited to: The New Japan G-1 Climax league, and all of the goodness that went with it. We analyze the, who, what, where, and why of it all – especially why we thought it worked so well. We also discuss the possibilities of the Japanese love child of Terry Gordy and Stan Hansen working for WWE, as well as some other random things, as well. It is the 100-minute audio cavalcade that is not allowed to use apostrophes in the preview anymore; It is the Adam & Mike BIG AUDIO NIGHTMARE~! Proudly here at Vinnyisagoober.com.

November 22 2008 Tough Talk
Tough Talk returns today with a special Vegas edition. First Mike
Sawyer and Oliver Copp welcome Abby, a fine dancer and entertainer, to
the show, and what she has to say, we couldn’t possibly put in
writing. From Brock Lesnar’s tattoo to Tito Ortiz to what she would do
to Jenna to GSP’s shorts to Mike being a pussy, nothing remains
unsaid. Then One Kick Nick, the trainer of many MMA superstars
including Chuck Liddell, joins the show to talk about how Chuck used
to not be a partier, his fight with the Godfather, Phil Baroni’s
mental status and much more. Oh, and there’s also MMA coverage. 75
minutes of whackiness. -
August 22 2008 Bryan and Vinny Show
It’s the weekend Bryan & Vinny Show! What a range of emotions on this program as I started out very sad, then got mad, then got happy, and finished overjoyed. We’ll talk Impact and why this particular television show just isn’t for me despite the fact that it was significantly better than usual, we’ll run down a thumbs in the middle edition of Impact with some good and bad points, we’ll play some new songs, and we’ll engage in a fun WWE.com game to see HOW WELL WE KNOW CM PUNK. The fun never ends once it actually gets started. Check it out!

August 20 2008 Figure Four Daily
A day late but decidedly NOT a dollar short, Larry Sweeney makes his first Figure Four Daily appearance since defeating me for the prestigious ICW/ICWA Texarkana Television Title. We’ll talk all the news including the four-way for IWC, his upcoming trip to Japan, Colin Delaney and Bobby Dempsey in real life, breaking into the business and how he would classify himself as a fan, whether he feels he’d be a better fit for WWE or TNA, legends he’s worked and some funny stories, titles he has NOT held that people claim he has, whether his role will increase in ROH, the upcoming Japan tour, learning and doing lucha in matches, and so much more. A really fun show with last year’s Wrestling Observer Newsletter’s Best Non Wrestler.
