The rate at which they add content to the Vault is going to determine whether I sign up or not after the week-long trial. I do believe that full seasons or at least large portions of seasons will be posted with more regularity than Will thinks. WWE also made it sound like singular specific matches will have a section in addition to shows and PPV's. I stream or download anything I want to see now, but I'm willing to pay for the content if the Network is full of a wide variety of things I'm interested at seeing, especially in such an accessible manner. I just don't want it to be "Best Week Ever" WWE style.

I'm going to pick a wrestler and just watch his entire career, or close to it. Full shows of promotions he was involved in. Looking like I'll do Dustin Rhodes, but possibly Eddie Gilbert.

Totally. Minority opinion probably, but I'd much rather watch Akeem and the Twin Towers than any One Man Gang match. I love the character and love how much fun he seems to be having.

I am thinking about this guy. Nothing about this guy screams future world champ to me. I don't know if I said he was short... maybe I did... definitely shorter than Hogan and those guys. Did Flair come off like a future World Champ during his first few months of matches in AWA? Serious question.

Yeah, no need to split them up. There's no rule they have to be listened to in one sitting anyway. On that note, any word on when the next one will be up? They are so in depth and long so I'm never annoyed if a week goes by without one (understanding you do other podcasts that take up time as well), but just curious.

I'm responding to what you're saying asshole. Dave said Tiger Mask wasn't trying to perform for fans 25 years in the future. What he did at the time was new and exciting and while fans' idea of good wrestling may have evolved towards something else, it doesn't change that Tiger Mask was a great worker at the time. Your Flair-Hogan comparison doesn't work. But nice try.

You're saying Hogan was more successful, but Dave saw Flair and Hogan in the 80s and came to the conclusion Flair was a better worker. The comparison would work in favor of Tiger Mask because Dave saw Tiger Mask and Hamada in the 80s and came to the conclusion Tiger Mask was a better worker.

Well, clearly if Todd Martin thinks it's an ear, it's obviously an ear. If it means he's right and you're wrong, then that's the way it is. Overreact about another quasi-wrestling related thing why don't you?

I zoomed and it's obviously an ear. Both the left and right ears are visible. You can say it's stupid shirt, but it's not a unicorn.

At 9 tonight, Bryan's friend Ed is doing a show with Johnny Mantell. http://www.blogtalkradio.com/edward-loredo Considering he takes phone calls, it would be worth it for someone to call in and confront Mantell on the con he's trying to pull.

Alright, shouldn't have generalized, but he's doing a show about something he likes on his own website. I'm just so used to the B&V show being full of random topics at times so this peaks my interest.

Why the negative response to Bryan putting on a Coast-To-Coast type show? He's talked about loving Art Bell's stuff since 2005 when he started his site so it's not out of nowhere. I don't understand why a guy doing an extra radio show has to be criticized on this board.

me either I think this a scam as well, and I don't know why Dave & Bryan gave him time or at least had a followup acknowledging that it was stupid to do so, but... Man, you're a douche. You should write a column about it Todd. Speaking of which do you think Public Enemy are viable HoF candidates? Don't know why calling me Todd Martin is an insult. Because he has different opinions than you? And wouldn't you as the ECW superfan be the one to pimp P.E. as HOF candidates?

No, I totally agree with you on that. I had to turn off the show with Mantell a few minutes once I realized Dave and Bryan were just going along with his BS. That said, it doesn't really warrant personal attacks on Bryan.

me either I think this a scam as well, and I don't know why Dave & Bryan gave him time or at least had a followup acknowledging that it was stupid to do so, but... Man, you're a douche.

I'll just say this. I understand why Bix and KJH thought it was fine to report Copp's message board tidbits as news, but I think their outrage at Copp's anger is overblown. You've obviously been following wrestling for years and yet you don't understand why Dave chooses to report on some things while keeping others on the down low. I don't know why you both steal news from WO/F4W (even if you credit them, it's still leeching) and at the same time bitch them out for not reporting to your standards. If you don't like how Dave and Oliver report news, get your own "sources" and do it yourself. You constantly bring up how you don't care about them since now you get paid to write, well step up and do it better. The constant petty digs at WO/F4W makes your site look incredibly lower class. Also, I would take Cageside Seats a lot more seriously if Bix hadn't had a meltdown because Bryan made a disparaging comment about CM Punk (in a totally light hearted manner). And yeah the board has it's trolls (Rovert should know), but I'd say a good percentage of it interesting discussion. Painting it as the 4chan of wrestling boards is a ridiculous overstatement.

I'd take the article more seriously if Bix didn't have a history of wetting his pants in rage whenever Bryan or Dave "disrespected" him on that very F4W Board.

If that ends up being the only reaction, I will happily post seven times in a row that we were wrong. What Dan posted is all that happened. One second on an audio show of Dave going that was lame.

Why are you here, again? To read what all the cool kids are bitching about.

Wouldn't 7 posts about it before Dave even mentions it be overreacting on this board's part? If it turns out that all Dave goes is "And they made a joke about Lesnar" will anyone make 7 more posts?

All I got from the "do it away from everyone" and "the angle was a message" is that she drinks a ton and due to her angle and maybe even for other reasons, they don't like it. I don't know if she did anything worse. Dave was implying that if she's going to get shitfaced, to not do it around the office stooges.

Should have used a different wrestler. I just meant everyone drinks and JBL wanted everyone to come out and drink and would be pissed at you if you didn't. It's only recently that WWE has been so weird about some people living the gimmick and some not. But yeah she shouldn't have towed so close to the line with this one.

I don't necessarily disagree with their stance on firing her especially considering her gimmick, but I think there has to be a double standard because we've all heard those stories about JBL and the like unless things have changed since the PG rating.

Yep well he's said many many times that he still finds it funny that with MMA he can talk freely about news and interviews with the owners and fighters, but with wrestling it's still hush hush. He's never made it a secret that Dana was a "source" or Joe Silva was for that matter. Everyone in UFC is. Why would he keep it a secret?

The common theory is that she is the other woman in the Drew-Tiffany situation. No, that's a message board unsubstantiated rumor by random people. All the people with WWE sources are saying she drinks too much while portraying a straight edge chick. Don't spread rumors. Thats all fine and dandy saying all that when you are posting 3 hours after me and probably after listening to Bryan and Dave. I never said it was more than a rumour. Take your high horse elsewhere. Whatever, I was going to post it immediately but waited to hear true stuff. It just amused me you went somewhere like DVDR and people were going "I bet she's the third part of the triangle" and immediately figured it was a possible theory and not just message board shit. That's how the internet gets full of false bs. And you posted a "theory" right next to the answer so no high horse here buddy.
