JerryvonKramer Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 I haven't listened to this yet, but ... does Dylan cry about the Buddy Rose vote percentage at any point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rovert Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 I haven't listened to this yet, but ... does Dylan cry about the Buddy Rose vote percentage at any point? No he was expecting. The why is more of the issues. Enjoyed this. Looking forward to next year's debate given the freshening up of the ballot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Waco Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 rovert hit it, but I would have been SHOCKED if Buddy had stayed on the ballot and that was my position all along. I understand that there are arguments against him, but it bothers me that he was so easily dismissed without thought and that the major criticisms of him were in my view either strawmen or poor analogies/comparisons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodhelmet Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 You know, if Patera does hit the ballot next year Dylan, you should send Dave one of those long write-ups for him to post on the main site, similar to the type of bios that Steve Yohe would throw in every once in a while. I think if there was an article on the main site or even in an issue of the Observer, he might have not been so easily dismissed. The fact that Don Owen isn't in the HOF speaks volumes about what the voters know about Portland Wrestling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrisZ Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 I thought my bio on II would help his cause.....16% tells me otherwise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Waco Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 On the show I talk about how I will do a Patera write up next year and send it to Dave. I'll continue to bang the drum for him around the net as well. I'll be honest Kris - I think your II bio would have helped if it had gone up a bit earlier. I suspect a lot of ballots were already in. I also think II was hurt some by the fact that the ballot was pretty dense with good candidates this year. With five guys coming in from the ballot, I think his numbers have a good chance of going up next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
