jdw Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Possible. I doubt Dave even pays much attention to saying what plays to the board. Bryan... seems unlikely. My guess is that 90%+ are Bryan Fans who are more than willing to stomp on the 10% who aren't. When you have that, what Bryan writes is already over with them.

Bix Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 He's pretty much refused to ever ban anyone from the board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdw Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 But does he really need to? If you or Keith rip Dave, how soon before you get stomped down by posters? Unless it cuts too closely for Bryan or Dave, they don't really need to even weigh in. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bix Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 It has nothing to do with ripping Bryan or Dave and more with really really bad personal attacks being taken lightly by Dave and Bryan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Dave's pays attention to any of that stuff. It sounds like Bryan just lets the Fig-4 board be the wild west. That's certainly one way to manage a board: let most anything go and not worry about it. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bix Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Ive heard a very different story Bix.I may be remembering some of the specifics wrong, but Rob has always admitted he gave out the login, and Bryan said that was why he was banned. (It may have also been a free login as part of being a Dr. Keith Show co-host-ish person). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rovert Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 Keller returned to his plea to WWE to stop using homophobic slurs and comments such as what Cena said to Justin Gabriel recently on yesterday's Livecast (around 33 minute mark) citing the recent gay teen suicides in press such as Tyler Clementi. What do you guys think? I know the last time this came up either here or DVDR a few people were defending it beside it has been a wrestling staple to call the heel a sissy. But shouldnt WWE set an example for kids? As a minor point or an aside Edge is yet another wrestler who has insulted Swagger's lisp last night on Smackdown.

kjh Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 I think Keller's obviously right, though Cena's joke regarding Gabriel was subtle enough that it would fly over most young children's heads. Not that that makes it OK, but it's far from the worst example of homophobia within wrestling this year. Orlando Jordan's portrayal of a predatory bisexual freak heel was much worse in my opinion.

rovert Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 This discussion came up on the Bruce Mitchell show on the Torch too this weekend. If you like Bruce, him describing his genuine passion for tolerance in his classroom will reaffirm it totally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdw Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Not Wade, but Torch related. Bruce's continuing puroresu-denial is funny. Brings back the memory of Dave not buying that Puroresu / プロレス is a real word, and coming up with a new explanation for it not being a real word when people showed him stuff like it being on the cover of Weekly Pro Wrestling... in the name of the magazine. They just don't seem to want to let go of the fact that not only didn't "we" make it up, but even Hisa Tanabe didn't make it up: he introduced into the US a real Japanese word commonly used and known over there.

rovert Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 jdw is really underplaying how strong of a case he made against Bruce. As a relatively long time subscriber it is fairly funny to see Bruce's back against the wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John The denial of puroresu being an actual word complete with the translated magazine cover containing said word only for the denial to continue, was truly one of the most bizarre threads I've seen. I mean, why even go that way if you want to go all tin foil hat denier of reality? That's not even a top 1000 wrestling tin hat idea. I can't believe I remember that. Ancient history.

Ditch Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 I'm watching a tape back in 2002 with a college friend who took Japanese. During the opening for IIRC All Japan, characters fly into the screen, and he calls them out: "pu! ro! re! su!". Etched into my memory. What a baffling thing to deny.

Guest Slickster Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 From Wade Keller's Wiki page: In 2004, he wrestled Dave Meltzer in a Table match. He defeated him in 14 minutes when he powerbombed him on a flaming table. Meltzer then cried and admitted Keller was better than him. He also likes the daily show and free range chickens.

rovert Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 I was rather surprised to the phrase "Bear Twink Dance Club Scene" uttered by Wade to describe the Tank Abbot/3 Count combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rovert Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 Trying to piece things to together here. What exactly prompted Eric Bischoff to say those things which lead to Bruce Mitchell suing him and WCW. Was it reporting about Curt Hennig being drunk and collapsing mid ring on a Nitro?

Bix Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 Can't be that, Hennig fell down on camera and was clearly drunk during his promo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rovert Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 Can't be that, Hennig fell down on camera and was clearly drunk during his promo.Huh? Bruce briefly recapped the incident on his Torch show. On the F4W board someone posted video of that situation so Im up to speed there. Was Bruce highlighting that particular incident what sent Eric off to intimate that Bruce a paedophile or whatever? What was Eric responding to at the time he made that comment? Do you know Bix, as you confronted Eric about it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bix Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 What I mean is that I don't recall what caused Bischoff to go off to that degree but I doubt it was talking about Hennig thing because Hennig was slurring his words during his promo and fell down on camera. There was a lot of discussion about it online in the week or so after it happened. This was also at least a year and a half before Bischoff gave that interview.
