EvenStevenBooking Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 Well, if we're going by alchoholics, it could be anyone from Bradshaw to Ric Flair. That probably emcompasses half the roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillThompson Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 A good question I'd like someone to ask, "If you're so upset by part time wrestlers taking away money and opportunities from full time wrestlers why did you accept a gig as a part time comic book writer where you are taking money and opportunities away from full time comic book writers?"

Childs Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 He didn't say he had a problem with the part-time guys wanting to wrestle. He said he had a problem with the WWE continually booking them stronger than full-time guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loss Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 One question I have that he might not know the answer to is how Meltzer ended up being so positive he was returning to that Raw in Chicago after he quit. Dave wasn't positive. He said he was told by a source who said he was 99% positive, but Dave himself wasn't sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveJRogers Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 A good question I'd like someone to ask, "If you're so upset by part time wrestlers taking away money and opportunities from full time wrestlers why did you accept a gig as a part time comic book writer where you are taking money and opportunities away from full time comic book writers?" That appears to be a one off in an over-sized Annual that most likely will be filled with various stories from various writers, most likely will involve some past Thor writers as well. I'd even say it is apples and oranges if he came in for a special mini or maxi series (like, oh I don't know, okay he was a regular at the time with Swap Thing and backups about the Corps in Green Lantern, but your avatar represents something that was a maxi that you could say was taking shelf space away from another title) Your point would be more valid if Punk was taking over Thor's title for a lengthy run or something like that. OE: According the the solicits, its just a normal backup to the main story, there is also a third one. But the point remains the same about the story being simply a one shot and not the same thing as Punk getting an ongoing for a lengthy run.

Loss Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 I am curious if the wrestling *fan* still exists in him, even though he is disillusioned with the wrestling *business*. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Childs Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 I am curious if the wrestling *fan* still exists in him, even though he is disillusioned with the wrestling *business*. Yeah, me too. Is he watching his buddy Gallows in New Japan, for example? Does he talk shop with his wife? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pol Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 I forget how he worded it now, but it sounded like he just barely hinted at going after WWE for their "independent contractor" nonsense.

Bix Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 It's behind the paywall, but I did a pretty in-depth breakdown of his medical claims (and related issues from the past) in the new F4W.

Zoo Enthusiast Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 One question I have that he might not know the answer to is how Meltzer ended up being so positive he was returning to that Raw in Chicago after he quit. Dave wasn't positive. He said he was told by a source who said he was 99% positive, but Dave himself wasn't sure. I should say he felt confident/positive enough about it to report it. Not taking shots at Dave. I love Dave. Just that that one sticks out so badly as an example of him getting worked hard - doesn't he still talk to Heyman? Whomever his source was must have been very well-placed for him to not really (seemingly) do much legwork on something that was a huge story at the time.

ohtani's jacket Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 Is he a good comic book writer? EDIT: Okay, I misread the Alan Moore analogy. Looks like this Thor thing is his first gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure I've mentioned all of this in a thread here before, but it may have been on another board. In any event, I'm pretty sure Dave was fed wrong info by Flair.
