MoS

HAHAHAHAHA That said, the I'll even have sex with your mom... again line did make me laugh

In contrast, both Mox and Cody seem to have already started on their dad bods

Hangman is over like a God. I don't care about whatever long-term chase they might be thinking ala Omega himself in NJPW; American wrestling with its weekly primetime television works differently. It's time to put the belt on him at All Out

This strap match was plodding and boring, and the fiery finish felt unearned to me

LMAO QT got the jobber in the ring treatment

Rick Knox has a long running BTE gag about it, but if anything that makes it worse for me, because it means they get that this is noticeable, but instead of explaining it on their TV, they do so on their cute little YouTube show

Whataboutery isn't a relevant argument imo. Dave's comments about women had no bearing here, because he was not discussing her looks at all. She brought it up deliberately to try and deflect the attention away from the fact that she was complaining about the "dirtsheets" for absolutely no reason other than to suck up to management. If she had a legit grievance, she could have easily mentioned the specifics, like Miro did when he was doing his post-WWE interview tour. It is not Zelina's burden to spearhead the unionization effort. No individual even has a hope, unless the individual has fuck you money like John Cena. I also don't mind the fact that she deleted her old tweet. Like, what is she supposed to do here? Of course no unionization is happening anytime soon. Her tweet would just be used by fans and toxic Twitter users to dunk on her and troll her every time she'd say anything on Twitter. All the "This You??" tweets would get really tiresome for her, and also would not help any unionization effort. If anything, it would probably get wrestlers to decide against speaking out about unionization. However, it would have been easy for her to stick up for herself without trying to find a new target to deflect all the heat towards. Her dirtsheet comments was clearly for a very specific crowd. Which is great if that helps her career, but that means she has no moral high ground either. Using other women to get around the fact that her dirtsheet rant was nonsensical and that she rightly got criticised for it is pretty weak. There's a reason her deflection didn't work this time, and no one apart from the hardcore anti-Dave trolls went after Dave this time. She was objectively incorrect about the evil dirtsheets reporting false things. There wasn't much to get mad about

Thanks much, this is incredible! The guest list in 2000 is filled with heavyweight wrestling personalities too. He even got an interview with Jim Herd

Meltzer responded and his response was more than fair. Zelina is obviously doing what she can now to get support with management and fans, and one of the best ways to get in the good books of WWE and a creepy subsection of its fans is to shit on da dirtsheets in general and Dave in particular. I thought the eYada discussion would be a more fun one. Meltzer's story about Cena telling him he would never forget what Dave has done for him, and then not speaking to him for 10 years lol

The recent radio show Dave did reminiscing about his eYada shows was excellent. Also got @Loss and others reminiscing on Twitter about all the times someone would prank call Dave, which was fun. I didn't know Cena used to come on Dave's show all the time. It does make sense why Dave was always defending Cena even at the peak of Cena hatred. It would be nice to listen to whatever shows have survived the internet. I believe I have seen a YouTube video where a teenage Bix called to ask Eric Bischoff a question which got Bischoff mad, but I don't recall if it was on eYada or normal Observer radio

Snarky Meltz makes a brief comeback

I mentioned it as an aside at the end of a long paragraph. It is consistent with the pattern of Jericho generally dragging this angle down. I hope he loses clean to MJF with no interference

So then that 2 feet bump did not deserve to be sold like Wardlow basically murdered him? He took plenty of kayfabe dangerous bumps in the SS match after all, much worse than this one

The arm injury that did not stop him from doing a kayfabe brutal Stadium Stampede match killed him dead on a 2-feet bump to the floor?

It used to be hilarious when he would come out in foreign countries and would try to not get booed by saying that actually, he is a patriot for every country. It would never work, he would still get booed, but props for trying. Rest in peace. That flag match with Bret wasn't half bad

RVD was someone who, from his interviews, actually gave a great deal of thought to selling, psychology, etc. I remember being stunned years and years back when I read an interview he did where he said that for him, a great ladder match is not one where ladders are used just for stunts and pops, but where it is just a means to an end in winning the match. Your mileage may vary on how successful he was in actually practicing what he preached, but some of his interview quotes make me feel he'd be right at home here at PWO discussing wrestling and psychology with us

I forgot to mention, Miro's new music and his God's favourite champion gimmick are all solid gold. Miro absolutely rules The main event was excellent, but it's chicken coming home to roost time for AEW as far as bullshit interference finishes go. In theory, the finish keeps Sammy strong, puts him over even in defeat, and allows MJF to get even more heat. Except every single match in AEW in the last 6 months has had a ton of interference, nd thus as a result this one just lost its bite. This is even before Jericho pulled a Taker-HHH WM 17 and acted like a two feet bump from the crowd to the floor was instant death

I think it is obvious that he despises AEW much like he despised NJPW when he called the action there, and he is only working here to get Vince's attention, in the hope that Vince has mercy and takes him back

I just got done with the show, and a lot of things happened, but I am very surprised that they did not give Sammy the win. I don't think he has received a single big singles win ever. Also, the booking of Britt's title reign has been awful so far. They start with the corniest of corny WWE-esque in-ring segment, then they book her in a heel v. heel feud with Nyla, and they decide to build to that match by having them in a tag with Rebel and fucking Vickie. Of course someone got injured; what the fuck were they thinking? And I am not sure this was a face turn by Britt- it seems like a continuation of her title reign being booked terribly so far. Really hoping they end this feud quickly, put this feud behind them and start booking their biggest homegrown star like the world champ that she is. Loved the Elite porn staches and Dark Order motivating Hangman. That was really good booking

I won't be watching live cuz my friends and I are going to watch the last great wrestling draw in Fast 9. Hopefully the main event is great. Sammy should go over, he is a terrible promo but is hugely over as a face, and it is time MJF put someone over

Weren't Bret, Diesel and Taker doing triangle matches on house shows between Survivor Series 95 and WM 12, after Bret won the title? From what I remember, it was a big box office hit and elevated the house show business, which remained at a high level after Shawn won the title

He looks like he has a face mask on. Still a big improvement from when he comes on WWE TV though, where he looks like a cadaver propped up Hangover style

Yeah but the flipside to this was that someone like Hogan, who only wrestled the big cities, often had to criss-cross the country, especially as he was the battering ram Vince used to break into so many open and contested territories. The C-show circuits featured just terrible cards though, yeah. I guess they got away with it because there were several generation of fans who were just used to going out and attending a wresting show once a month, no matter how bad the card was. Wrestling was just more of a way of life for a far bigger number of fans than it is now

How many Florida dates did Jack Brisco continue to work after he became world champ? Because combine the NWA world champ schedule and this Florida schedule and it is easy to see why he was so burnt out as champ, he flat out refused to keep holding it after a couple of years. WWF 1985-90 has to be much worse just because of how they worked the entire country and did not really tour in loops, so they could literally work all timezones over one weekend

I say this every week, but Miro rules so hard
