  1. Hell, Gabe said he was upset over a day before Joey ever sent the letter out. Styles does deserve props for writing a non apology that was incredibly deluded and self absorbed even by pro wrestling standards, though.
  2. As a way to circle around to calling SH a pussy. Which is not the same as "laugh at sexual assault, every body". Certainly misguided, certainly unnecessary, but the joke wasn't about Trump or sexual assault. He said she was going to be sexually assaulted for being physically attractive.
  3. It looks like you're right, but I recall that at the time, I thought he wasn't Corey Peloquin and then, at some point later, someone told me that he was. But I'm not sure how or when or why that happened and who told me it was Peloquin.
  4. Not sure why it's showing as 33 for you but it's 9 minutes and change.
  5. How about that Dixie Carter?
  6. Sign up here. Patrons can click here for part 1 and here for part 2, as we had to split the show due to Patreon's file size limitations. The first Patreon-exclusive, themed Between The Sheets show is here! Kris and David are joined by Pete Lederberg to go through the first 10 months or so of the national expansion of the WWF, starting with the June 1983 issue of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. Hear about the original plans for Hulk Hogan vs. Andre the Giant, who saw the expansion coming, how the various territories were doing, non-WWF expansion efforts, how Hulk Hogan smoothed over his reputation in Minnesota after "no-showing" AWA shows, TONS of stuff about the WWF's early Japanese/international plans. and MUCH more. A GREAT show!

  8. 1. The former is largely a strawman that doesn't exist. Generally speaking, most of the examples of that I've seen have been exaggerated or distorted. For example the response to the Yale Halloween costume letter story from last year usually came as a result of tellings that misrepresented what happened.2. What's "censorism?" Also, people tend to look at these issues in a vacuum when they're not taking place in one. Trigger warnings are largely about acknowledging that a significantly bigger portion of the population than we like to admit has been sexually assaulted, and are way more prominent online than they are alleged to be in academia. And even online, they're largely limited to feminist blogs and other sites where they know it's appreciated by the audience. What do you see as "PC culture" and how does it relate to calling out someone who repeatedly defends"non-racists" who used the n-word because it was the "official business term" for black wrestlers, in an era where they were seen as more than other wrestlers, no less? Remember, what got this started was Brandon Howard asking Dave why he's so insistent about hating the terms "mark" (which was an "official business term," after all) and "IWC" but explains away use of the n-word. Which is a perfectly legitimate question.
  9. What a weird episode. He was so unguarded about Eddy Guerrero, though, that overall it was a must listen.
  10. Ah yes, clearly it's the SJWs!
  11. The OJ trial was also months and months away, though Vince's trial was just a few weeks after the Bronco chase.
  12. Also, the first Patreon-only show, Greetings From the Grocery Store Vol. 1, is now up.
  13. An unexpurgated eBook version of Bret Hart's book. Easily. We got something like 30℅ of the original draft.
  14. What Kris said^ It's monthly, but it's up to you for how long to keep donating. There is no time frame commitment, so you can back out at any month before the billing period, which is typically at the beginning of the following month (e.g. if you pledge $25 today, it won't be drawn until early October, usually the first weekday.) Also you can always switch to a different tier.
  15. In fairness, I think he was talking about the professionally shot version of the peace festival, which wasn't circulating until Roy Lucier put it on YouTube. At least as far as I know.
  16. I figured that was Joe Malenko especially with the comment about "he sure was in demand" later. Maybe.................................................................................................................................................. Ah, I hadn't gotten to the Joe Malenko bit until my home-bound commute!Hypothetically, if it were, there's a reason we drag the obscure jokes out sometimes. Allegedly.
  17. The theory I've seen is they won't put blood in a promo package.
  18. Yes, that's what I was talking about.
  19. During one of his post-Benoit media appearances, Luger said he was on the gas the whole time he was in the WWF. Which isn't exactly surprising now that we know Warrior tested positive in all of his 1992 tests and wasn't punished.
  20. That sounds way too clever to be a Russo scheme.

  23. That's covered already. Here's what I've ripped so far (EDIT: Updated this about 6 hours after the original post):
