Bronson Reed is the Third Man...Now What? (Wrestling is Cool! Podcast)

·2 hr 43 min·5 clips

Cody Rhodes enters their realm to discover how deep the wrestling podcast waters go.

This episode of Wrestling is Cool features the hosts reacting to WWE's expansion into podcasting and discussing underutilized talent. The hosts, Santi and Joe, critique WWE's promotional strategies and wrestler branding. They use Cody Rhodes's new podcast as a primary example for their commentary. The hosts mock the name "The Cody Rhodes Show" and its association with a vodka brand sponsorship. They note WWE is deeply investing in podcasts, suggesting even Karrion Kross might get one. Karrion Kross is cited as a wrestler who receives minimal television time. The hosts claim comedians and NBA players get more WWE TV exposure than Karrion Kross. They also state wrestler Vikingo has appeared on WWE TV more than Karrion Kross. A surprising claim is that WWE seems reluctant to give Karrion Kross any significant platform. The hosts find humor in WWE's broad podcast rollout, imagining a future with many wrestler-hosted shows. They shift to a lighthearted debate about whether being a Viking, pirate, or cowboy is preferable. All three choices are deemed valid because each occupation features a cool hat. The question of what constitutes a "Viking hat" is posed as a humorous aside. The tone is highly conversational, sarcastic, and filled with inside jokes for wrestling fans. The style is informal, featuring banter and abrupt topic shifts based on the hosts' tangents. This episode would appeal to listeners who enjoy critical, fan-centric commentary on WWE's business and creative decisions. Listeners seeking structured analysis or interviews with wrestlers might find it less engaging.
