Dave Meltzer stuff

[pantherwagner]

I have had lunch with Dave too, I can't recall a lot of details other than he had cut himself while shaving and he had this distracting giant plaster covering half of his chin.

 

By the way, while I think that finding Dave without a vague idea of where he was would have been a quest, Nagoya St. isn't nearly as busy as any main station in Tokyo or Osaka once you move a few blocks away other than east.

I liked on one of the Observer Radio shows Dave explaining to Bryan how he ate in Japan. He said he would find a place with a picture menu (and having been to Japan once myself I can attest that the majority of your noodle joints or quick turnaround street places have them) and point to something that looked good, having an idea but not knowing for sure what it was. Bryan, who is apparently not at all an adventurous eater, was HORRIFIED

I've eaten with Dave several times too. So take that Williams!

[BrickHithouse]

Does Dave pick up the check or go Dutch? Does he tip well?

[goodhelmet]

Does he use a napkin or wipe his hands on his pants?

[BrickHithouse]

Does Dave take his salad with the main entree, or before?

[Death From Above]

This is the funniest sidetrack I've read in months.

[Matt D]

It's eerie how it's mimicked the DVDVR one.

 

Also eerie, timingwise?

[cowboy hats]

does dave make the pen-signing motion to signal for a check?

[khawk20]

When Dave does reviews of the restaurant he ate at, does he go off on a random tangent for several paragraphs in the middle of his review talking about another eating experience he or one of his other colleagues had at another restaurant?

[Marty]

Does Dave snap his fingers for a refill? Or does he politely raise the glass with a wink and a smile?

[anarchistxx]

Does Dave write snowflakes on his serviette for each course?

***** (in honour of the thread as a whole)

[Loss]

If not Dave, then who?

[Cox]

What does Jim Neidhart have to do with any of this?

[anarchistxx]

How does the guy who served the noodles that night rate Kane as a worker?

[ohtani's jacket]

That is beautiful.

Dave Meltzer's edition of Cribs/Hoarders:

[Sidebottom]

That is exactly how I pictured Dave living.

Someone go digitalise all of Dave's lucha footage for him.

[hammerva]

Yeah I wonder if the reason why he has one of the 5 largest collections of VHS wrestling tapes is because the other 90% of the world has figured out how to convert to DVD.

Someone go digitalise all of Dave's lucha footage for him.

 

No shit. Though I wonder how much of it is a duplication of what Lynch has.

 

Someone should just make the offer to Dave: duplicate and/or replace everything he has from the 80s through mid-90s. Most of it would already be on dvd, so it's just a matter of replacing. Or hell... does Dave even want the old stuff anymore, and would he be fine donating it to a collector.

[Dylan Waco]

I'm honestly more concerned about the fate of those wrestling magazines in the shed

[Death From Above]

Speaking of duplication, I honestly wonder what Lynch's life is like day to day. He had an astonishing amount of footage on tape pre DVD and I'm sure his collection has only ballooned since. Does anyone know if he actually has a normal job or if he just does the catalog full time? The sheer scope of it seems like it would really have to be full time. And I imagine the process of converting his collection was the work Herculean legends are written of.
