goodhelmet Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 I never got the vibe that Trips was a fan of Ryder's. Where has that been reported? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrisZ Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 He made a cameo on his Youtube show plus I had friends that heard stuff at fanfest where someone asked Trips about Ryder and he kinda praised him for using social media to get himself over.

Guest Slickster Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 He made a cameo on his Youtube show plus I had friends that heard stuff at fanfest where someone asked Trips about Ryder and he kinda praised him for using social media to get himself over. I saw it as the opposite. He buried the guy who asked the question by asking if he was one of Ryder's three fans. He struggled to find something to say about him, then said something generic about young guys like him getting to Mania someday. Â The weird part is that unlike Kaval and Daniel Bryan and CM Punk, Zack Ryder is a 100% WWE creation who has been with the company for FIVE YEARS. He was never a 'smart fan' darling until he came up with this gimmick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted April 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 Maybe Bryan was just trying to help Punk by repeating what his sources told him! Â I think Punk was really lucky to come up when and how he did. Paul Heyman was rightly a big fan and could easily protect and groom him on ECW. Even after Heyman established him as a star he's had a few hiccups (heat with agents, dress code infringement pettiness), but nothing he couldn't overcome by that point. Â Wasn't the dress code stuff part of the BS being fed to them by Matt Hardy when he was out to bury Punk in the sheets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cox Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 While Bryan's overall point isn't really wrong, I guess, he made the wrong comparison. Zack Ryder isn't Low Ki or Danielson or any of those guys, he's the poor man's Matt Hardy, though not nearly as over to the public at large as Hardy.

sek69 Posted April 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Listening to Alvarez on Dave Lagana's podcast provided a real Rick James "I never put my boots on his couch/Sure I put my boots on his couch" moment. He mentioned how someone on the board once made it their mission to prove no one listened to WOL when it was on Eyeada, as if that was a crazy thing to suggest. Not more than two sentences later he mentioned they were the most listened show there but that didn't mean much because no one listened to Eyeada. Â Cocaine's a hell of a drug. Â Â I mean, I know what he meant but the way he said it made him look like a goof who just contradicted himself, which seems to be an issue he has.

sek69 Posted April 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Just checked out the WO board for the first time in a while, and apparently Bryan has quotes from rovert in his sig in reference to the whole "not getting that CM Punk's leader gimmick has religious overtones" affair. Seemed a little juvenile for someone in his position to be basically trolling a paid member of his site. Just another reminder of how that place has the (well-deserved) reputation it has because they just emulate what those in charge do. Â "I LEARNED IT BY WATCHING YOU!"

I do get under his skin in particular but he has quieted down a fair bit since he got married. As stated in the past Bryan's primary argument technique is attack the weakest point in your argument often ignoring the context in which it was said. Not really a matter of trolling people he just cant admit to being wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted April 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 I get that, but it just really comes off even worse when you consider he's insulting his paying customers. I mean, not to kiss ass here but I like to think the main reason this board has practically zero problems is because Loss and Will don't feed into it the rare times something gets heated on here. I just find it funny and a little sad they run a free board better than one where people need to pay to sign up. Both Bryan and Dave have (even recently) bashed the board on various radio shows, which is quite ironic since one of their talking points is to correctly point out how WWE is resentful of their audience (ie: when someone not approved to get over ends up doing so and needs to be punished). Ignoring the plank in their own eye I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignoring the plank in their own eye I guess. Â This explains my sentiments exactly. One of the big things I am pro Torch on is their customer service. Wade in the forum gives answers and explanations even on some uninformed positions and people that challenge his arguments. Alvarez would call them a Geek and be done with it.

Loss Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 On that topic, from what I hear, Wade seems to have reclaimed his sanity and is slowly returning to old form. That's good news. At his best, Wade is great, and I wouldn't mind seeing him give Dave and Bryan a run for their money. Sadly, it seems like he doesn't have many sources anymore, as I can't remember the last time he broke a story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjh Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 the reaction to Mark Henry getting another push should be fun Dave was amusing on Observer Radio saying "God damn that's scary" at the prospect of Christian vs. Mark Henry main events, despite Christian being as good as he is.

I stopped subscribing in 2009 when we were getting Raw reviews on Thursday and Mitchell was filing in with Caldwell. Now, Wade has went almost a year straight of DKH which mix in a good variety of ask the editor, TV reviews, and general news updates. The Bruce/Wade and PPV roundtables remain consistent and enjoyable. The Livecast at least gives a platform for varying opinon among hosts and callers. Wade also seems to be breaking some more news lately in TNA and with the Morrison/Snooki thing that was initially laughed at by Alvarez and then reported as true. It is very encouraging how good the Torch has gotten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Â I can see that from a drawing perspective, but that's the single feud I want the most in the WWE right now I think. Christian had one-two (tops) matches with Zeke but he really wasn't fighting too many monsters in 09 during his incredible TV Title-esque run. Christian is so great at adapting and rearranging and teasing his spots and I can just imagine what he'd do against Henry and what Henry could do with him.

KrisZ Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 There was a lot of idiocy from Chico last night on the show especially involving gymnastics and how serious of a fan is Rima Fakih.

sek69 Posted April 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 The funniest thing about Tough Enough is how they put over Johnny Fairplay's wife for putting being a mom above being on the show as if she was Mother of the Year when Bryan of all people should know better. It seems like anyone involved in the indy scene in the Northwest has a "Johnny Fairplay and his wife" story, I would have a hard time believing Bryan hasn't had the same experience or at least know someone who has.

sek69 Posted April 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Pretty much typical "pro wrestling relationship" kind of stories: she's into women and doesn't mind Johnny cruising for strippers, he once creeped out one of those strippers after finding out she had the same name as his daughter (and both were named Piper after Roddy), they fight constantly to the point where it seems the marriage is in name only. The usual dysfunctional relationship that it seems 90% of the people in the business are in. Â Not that any of that means she doesn't love her kid mind you, but she's hardly the June Cleaver type they made her out to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Log Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 There's a woman on every single competition reality show (Top Chef, etc.) that talks constantly about missing her kids. Then, when they are kicked off, they act like that's what they wanted all along, just to get back home. Mrs. Fairplay saw that she didn't have a chance in hell and bailed.

I seem to recall a story making it online a few years back of Johnny and his wife approaching a female wrestler in TNA about doing a 3 way. I can't remember but I think it was Shelley Martinez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
