Tis, skipping that chapter so.

Ill remember to bring a pen and piece of with me the next time I listen to his 2 hour podcast..... tomk, pick any major fight any fight go back and listen to Coughlin's analysis.

Personally I am done with the subject.

I genuinely couldn’t get anywhere with him. I asked him to clarify the situation numerous times, left it for a bit for everyone to calm down, I asked him to volunteer the contact information of someone else at SBNation first - sounds rational enough to me. He was making untrue, libellous claims on his boss's site and being completely uncooperative about addressing the situation so I emailed his boss as a very last resort.

Personally I think I am atypical wrestling board nutjob. Seriously how less credible does he look here if he can lie about people making death threats? How can his word as a journalist be relied upon?

Long and short of it, this guy got banned from our website and has escalated it to the point that it can only be addressed through our attorney. Pretty typical wrestling board nutjob, but we aren't fucking around with those kinds of people. Thats untrue you banned me from bloodyelbow for apparently making a death threat in the first post of this thread pimping your book!: http://theboard.f4wonline.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=110845 I sorry if I posted my disappointment about your post-Total MMA writing career one too many times there. I can post emails if you want, Snowden. You were being the nutjob refusing to back up your claim that I made a death threat, how you came to that conclusion etc. The only reason I got directed to an attorney is that I cc'd your boss about the libellous claim you made on his site, I thought he should know and your childish behaviour when discussing it with you via email was going nowhere. At least I got said claim retracted as you had no grounds for making it by that. You are pretty and pathetic. I didn’t want to ask you to transcribe podcasts. I didn’t want to ask you to transcribe podcasts. What has Coughlin said on podcasts that struck you as particularly smart. I don't have access to podcasts, and don't listen to podcasts in general. But I imaigne i that if you point to particular podcast dates I might be able to find a way to listen to them. Coughlin has never struck me as insightful writer but if that is the fault of the written form and he comes off better on radio, I am hoping you could point me to something. His technical breakdown of fights are amazing and his calling card, listen to the one he'll do GSP and Koscheck.

http://www.f4wonline.com/content/view/18563/ Firstly RIP, man these headlines are annoying.

Every so often Kurt Brown goes on funny flights of fantasy on his podcast Slammin' Stan. Anyway Kurt thinks the US should adopt an asylum policy for all luchadores as well as launching a "Stop Killing Wrestlers" PSA. These needs to get done.

In terms of presentation what is closest too?

I know some of you guys recently received some Mapel Leaf footage, any early thoughts?

Yeah even with improvements Wade made navigating old articles still isnt the most enjoyable experience.

Quality discourse. All this shows is how low powered your own thinking is. Where did I ever say that it was a real life situation? He is a million times more coherent than you are going by the above post, regardless. Speaking of college I would put my academic record up against yours any day of the week and I dont even know who you are. ^ Internet intelligent man here I guess

Reads like it might be tongue n cheek, but not sure. The Won online search function isnn't that great of a search engine but you can find plenty of Coughlin there. What should I read? I seriously doubt it was tongue n cheek, Tanner touched a lot of people through his struggles and people do get mushy about him. With the greatest of respects you are coming across as trying too hard to find something on him here. Christ what part of I dont read his columns you dont understand? I listen to his podcasts.

I did say it was definitive proof it was just an example of the differnces between the two.

Nope aint happening.

Nope

It is a personal situation that has nothing to do with his MMA reporting however as consequence it has made me lose all respect for him and his credibliity as a reporter is totally shot from my perspective. Simply Mike is better at technically breaking down fights and understanding the fight business than Snowden is in my experience. He is more knowledgable too as for example he found a fair amount of errors in Snowden's book. I really cant comment on his columns as Ive never really read them honestly

Ive a current Torch sub so Ill track it down. In the context of the podcast and in general hearing that really annoyed me. Elsewhere: Fit Finlays - Setanta Ireland, Friday, 3rd December, 7:30 p.m.

Yeah Im kind of appalled Copp claimed victory here as there was no skill involved in getting this decision at all from Sonnen's team's perspective.

I have to ask this after listening to Will's podcast. Which Torch columnist was made light of SMW a passing off a “diminished†Gordy as still the real deal so to speak? Bruce or Wade?

http://theboard.f4wonline.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=31692 It is in the "public" Pics or GTFO folder.

Not really if you followed is bellyaching on twitter.

Even as someone with one trillion posts on there I think Ive only visited that topic a handful of times mainly to post how creepy it was, your honour. I do remember Vinny freaking out one day as someone had posted some very questionable pics of what he viewed as obviously underaged girls. That Mr Jeff 2000 dude is one of the creepiest posters on the internet ever, as well as posting in that thread a lot he makes other creepy threads with pictures I presume he takes at strip clubs, expos and shit like that.

Uhh What Now? I can confirm all that, there is truth to the slightly jumped claim Bix made semi recently that the F4W board is "the 4chan of Pro Wrestling forums." Jesus that is fucking awful, what the hell is wrong with Meltzer and Alverez? More Alverez than Dave really. It has been on there for years. When the site merger happened the forum went into total fucking meltdown over the prospect of increased moderation due to presence of Dave and the Wrestling Observer on the site (essentially forum members thought the place would turn into Wrestling Classics or something over night). Pretty much that thread was one of the bargaining chips the forum members won during Bryan's attempts to return sanity to the board and gain support for the changes he was making. I'll stand up for a lot of things on that site which a few of you many look down upon but that thread isn’t one of them. In standing up for the F4W forum I will say that very few members post in that thread at all it, mainly it is the same confirmed creepy in real life guy over and over. Whenever someone brings up that they are taking a board related issue to Meltzer Bryan's stock answer is that Dave knows that the board is a cesspool so he doesnt really care but PLEASE note in saying this Im not saying that dave knows or tolerates that thread. So what your are saying is that the people on the figure four board demanded that Alverez keep a kiddie porn thread open as a concession for allowing Dave Meltzer to join the site, and Alverez agreed to it? And Meltzer willing joined a site which not only has a kiddie porn thread, but made the continuation of the kiddie porn thread a prerequisite of the merger? That is basically indefensible. I aint defending it at all, Phil just recapping it from my perspective and my memory. The way you are framing it here is that loads of members complained about the thread being deleted, that wasn’t the case it was a small few and mostly it was (and I know Eric will probably riff on this on Seguanda Caidia) about the principle of the board being censored or moderated in anyway almost like in a ACLU type of way. I do remember Bryan doing a number of state of the forum speeches on his podcasts post merger and Bryan stating that that thread STAYS~! with caveat that he would be monitoring it heavy.
