Would appreciate anyone who enjoys comedy podcasts or helping small podcasts get shared around

Tyrant in Training is an improv comedy podcast where guests rule their own country as silly & stupid as they like

Share if you don't mind

I always hate asking for stuff

I never watched ECW so only saw them from WWF/E onwards.

Like I enjoyed them but they were very much third place to Edge/ Christian and Hardys

Kevin Ryan @kevryanperson.bsky.social · 4d

Honestly, after the night of self-doubt and misery I've went through, I'm quite proud I woke up, worked my day job and remade the @tyrantpodcast.bsky.social logo, especially considering I've no skill at anything art related and I refuse to use AI

Ah fair that makes sense. I'd still love to see him have a face run. I know Don Callis doing some talking for him is gonna be great but I still think a face run could be good for him

Kevin Ryan @kevryanperson.bsky.social · 5d

Tbh, I'd have preferred Andrade coming back as a face

Wasn't he getting a lot of cheers before he left AEW?

He wrestles great and that music is delightful! 🤼

Ah c'mon you can't be getting baffled by anything Booker T says

He's an idiot who twerks for his WWE employees. There's no other mystery.

Kevin Ryan @kevryanperson.bsky.social · 8d

Meant to be "OK bit of an update...."

Or it could be "OK butt of an update..."

You decide!

Kevin Ryan @kevryanperson.bsky.social · 8d

OK but of an update on this one @truthmagnum.bsky.social 🤼

I've reached Mordor!

Didn't realize it's another 454 damn kilometers to get to the finish line!!

93 days left this year so that's 4.83km every day to complete it

I hope to God I find some vascularity within my soul for this 👀

A previous post I made asking The Outrunners Truth Magnum for a "you sonuvabitch" reply if I completed a Shite to Mordor challenge

I need validation!

I thought Bubba Rays mic work was massively overhyped (by himself mostly) in fairness

Like, they're good...even hall of fame good but I don't think top 10 sorta tag team

Probably struggle to get near top 20 being honest

Kevin Ryan @kevryanperson.bsky.social · 11d

Just wanna put this out there but Dudley's are ridiculously overrated as a tag team

There's more justification to call them 4/10 than there is Bret saying Triple H was 4/10 wrestler

Agreed? 🤔 🤼

I think I also read somewhere she was backstage at NXT some months ago so she's definitely trying to get in some WWE work

Kevin Ryan @kevryanperson.bsky.social · 11d

Oh God!

This is gonna be the answer to "what if JK liked wrestling"

GK Rowling is going to be insufferable

Thing is about a NXT and TNA Invasion is WWE are going to ensure either

Team NXT looks super strong

Team TNA barely looks strong but it's full of NXT people (some Ethan Page or Jordynne Grace = Stone Cold + Kurt Angle in WCW/ECW Alliance vibes)

Or just both

🤼 #wrestlesky

Kevin Ryan @kevryanperson.bsky.social · 11d

For TKO and WWE these numbers are the sweet spot for number 2 though

Kevin Ryan @kevryanperson.bsky.social · 11d

Got the bundle deal for both this and All Out

It's so nice when you realize you already bought the PPV 🙌

Kevin Ryan @kevryanperson.bsky.social · 11d

Ya she comes off as someone who wants the rep of this masterful wrestling technician but has been so cozy within the WWE bubble to ever earn it

Kevin Ryan @kevryanperson.bsky.social · 11d

Ya it's like some really good actors who have made their careers so business focused that they'll do only what they need to do to make money

Ryan Reynolds, I think, can act but why bother when he can just play himself and earn millions the easy way

You're not dreaming of wrestling though

You're dreaming of social media views
Big entrance
Big stadiums

And honestly, I always found Orton to be painfully boring

He's the Mark Calloway one-man show of wrestling

Kevin Ryan @kevryanperson.bsky.social · 11d

I can't find it on YouTube but it's definitely a Young Bucks match when Brandon was coming out with them

Kevin Ryan @kevryanperson.bsky.social · 12d

TNA & NXT "Hmmm...needs more Bully Ray"

Kevin Ryan @kevryanperson.bsky.social · 12d

One of my favorites that I never see mention is a small moment where Brandon Cutler distracts Luchasauras by hopping onto the apron and waving a flare

*Chef's kiss*

So silly and creative and random

a man in a cowboy hat is standing in front of a t-rex dinosaur .

Why does it feel like heyman has gotten very vocally cunty the last few years?

Feels like another case of another prick getting more brave as Trump regimes taken power

You also don't have to be the worst commentator to be on NXT every week but it's certainly helped Booker

Kevin Ryan @kevryanperson.bsky.social · 12d

Nyla because anyone partnered with Nyla is a good answer

Harley Cameron because think of the music!

Marina Shafir because Maki Itoh is the cutest death rider in the world

AEW: Next up, wrestling!
Ex wrestler: Fuck you!!
AEW crowd: Hey fuck you too!
Ex wrestler: I've never seen a more toxic weird fanbase 😰

WWE: Next up,Vince McMahon/ Brock Lesnar
Ex wrestler: Haha, I popped!
WWE crowd: Hooray!
Ex wrestler: Look at the normal folk being all casual 😇
