It's weird, both are annoying but at least Booker comes off like he gives a shit. If I'm going to have to deal with an annoying commentator, I'd rather have the one that at least acts like he wants to be there.

Is it really surprising that the dark side of women's wrestling during the 60s to the 80s was easily hidden? We're talking about a sideshow of a sideshow where not many people beyond the hardest of the hardcores know much about the non steroid related darkness of men's wrestling during the same time? There's also the matter than there were probably not many people in the business that really gave a shit how the women wrestlers were treated back then. That's kind of how Moolah was able to get and maintain her position, there really wasn't anyone around who cared enough to do anything about.

His personality has always been grating to me, and fans of the show are starting to get nearly as obnoxious as Russo fans when it comes to blindly defending everything he says and bashing anyone who points out when he's wrong.

The first week I could kind of give him a pass since he was out of the company for so long and obviously wasn't keeping up. The amazing part was how he was still sounding like a clueless newb weeks later. He clearly was making zero attempt at trying to get better to the point the other two were openly mocking him. Couldn't happen to a better guy either. He got so cocky for no reason working for ESPN, he became someone you start rooting for to get knocked down a peg. It was hilarious seeing him on Twitter talking down to wrestling people as if he was a longtime worker and not a goofy commentary guy.

I have zero interest to watch it since it seems Bruce's entire schtick is everyone is wrong but him because he used to work for the WWF and by the way did you know he totally used to work for the WWF?

So basically she's saying because Moolah had a stranglehold on women's wrestling, and froze out women who weren't part of her stable people should have been just happy they got what they got? Okay.

Looks like a copy of the feed sent to the closed circuit locations, which I guess is the same thing.

I mean, ego probably did play a part in the sense that he didn't want to be seen as a broken down has been past his prime. He obviously could have worked longer, but as Dave mentioned in the WON obit Bruno had a memory of seeing the crowds react to a past-prime Gorgeous George and decided he never wanted to be seen like that. The funny part is when he arguably was in that position in his mid 80s comeback run, the crowds still loved him just as much as his prime.

So an empty folder for Heat briefly appeared on the Roku app today, setting off speculation that it could be the next content dump. I would assume at least if they created a placeholder folder for it that would indicate it is coming at some point sooner than later.

I know NXT has to restock after the call ups, and their track record rebuiding guys is pretty good, but I don't know about this new Kona Reeves push that seems to be coming soon.

I only knew him as a manager of second tier guys, so seeing him wrestle on the Mid Atlantic stuff on the Network was a nice education.

As one would expect, it's been a big story here in Pittsburgh. All the sports teams/news stations/goverment leaders have been making statements regarding his passing. It's like part of the culture here that everyone's parents/grandparents were huge fans of Bruno even if they stopped watching after he retired.

FWIW, Dave has been trying to correct the narrative since Bruno was welcomed back to the fold and the WWE machine went into overdrive with the MSG sellout number. So it's not like today was the first time he's mentioned it. I don't know if anyone's noticed but Dave gets triggered (as the kids say) by inaccurate numbers so it's the reason why he gets so hung up on stuff like this and the WM3 number. It's probably also why so many people joke and/or speculate that he's on the spectrum since the easiest way to get under his skin is to parrot an inaccurate number related to wrestling.

Well I'll give it a shot, I'm actually on a computer now, will try replying from my phone later to test it.

People were trying to #wellactually Dave on Twitter over him saying the Scorpion and the Sharpshooter are the same move, so I don't blame him for trying to nip another wave of idiots @'ing him in the bud.

I know this runs the risk of "now-is-not-the-time"-ism, but it is kind of amazing that the period where Bruno was incredibly bitter at Vince has been completely wiped from history. Him and Billy Graham were always the go to's for anyone in mainstream media who wanted a voice to speak about the evil WWF and their drug fueled monsters. Time heals all wounds and bridges were seemingly repaired in recent years, but there's always going to be a part of me that sees him as an angry father lashing out at mean old Vince for (in his mind) ruining his relationship with his son.

Not sure now it's an issue with the phone and not the board when it formats properly in the reply box and only disappears when I hit either the post or preview buttons.

I am noticing when I post here via my iPhone that all apostrophes and quotation marks get removed from whatever I typed. It seems to be a recent issue, wondering if its some kind of board software quirk. Some examples: these all have apostrophes when I type them in.... wont cant didnt This should have quotation marks around it When I hit send they all will disappear.

Im all for the 2018 Jeff Hardy revival run, but he still has two strikes and already got a DWI this year. As boring as Orton is, at least you can be reasonably sure you wont wake up to read about him getting arrested. I have a feeling theres going to be a ceiling on how much Jeff gets pushed because of that.

Yeah but at least Mike Tyson did time for what he did. You can at least argue he served his punishment and deserved a chance to make a living again. UFC won't even pretend to punish Connor because the new owners took on so much debt they can't afford to. So now you have an inmates-running-the-asylum situation where guys who are any level of draw can tell Dana to go fuck himself knowing he has to come groveling back to them to sell PPVs.

I can see Vince thinking "if we move everyone the fans like to Smackdown, NOW they have to cheer Roman goddammit!"

Not saying Cass is great, but his WWE singles career was basically working with Enzo. We don't exactly have enough evidence to put him in Sheamus territory yet.

Also I'm sure WWE will run it into the ground because that's what they do, but Truth and Tye as comedy pairing sounds like it could have potential.

Raw getting absolutely pantsed in the draft is not a thing I was expecting to happen. There must be something related to their TV contract promising to make SD must-watch TV (like they did when it moved to USA and wanted to give big ratings for the debut there) to warrant taking a big steamy dump on their flagship like that.

Looks like Harper and Rowan were able to draft their first names back too.
