I think it was like a year ago when Dominic was just a sort of prop in the Rey/Lesnar feud and not a character or superstar in his own right but Dave said "WWE isn't building new stars. Dominic is not going to be the next Rey Jr.: I don't watch WWE but it seems that Dave and Bryan have turned a corner on that? They seem to be saying Dominic is really damned good. He's not Eric Watts, he could be a real star in his own right and not just Rey's son. I'm saying all this because h's sad that he's attached to the sinking ship that is WWE while his star is on the rise.

Dominic has been trained well and has acquitted himself well in his matches so far but he’s not the next Rey. Even if he ends up a legit main event money draw star he won’t be the next Rey.

That comment is less about Dominic's workrate and saying WWE will never be able to make him a star because they are bad bookers.

I wasn't trying to ay Dominik (my bad on the misspelling) is a GOAT contender right now but that he is still very good and could be something if he wasn't stuck in the dumpster fire that is current WWE. He's so young and has so much time to improve and become a great. I guess you could say that for a few people. I like Bray and Bayley a lot but they can't save this show or make me spend my money just for them when everything else is so bad. But Dominik's situation is a bit more unique given who his dad is and the fact he was brought in first as just Rey's son and is now gonna be a star in his own right. I'd like to see him succeed and I worry if he will given WWE.

The two closest people to being the next stars are Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns and those are the only people that have been built since Cena/Orton/Batista other than brief periods of time when CM Punk was over (And they killed his love of wrestling) or Daniel Bryan was over (And his career got derailed at his hottest and he never bounced back) Dom might become a star, but it'd have to be in Mexico/Japan where he can revitalize his career. This is the same company that hired and blew chances to elevate Mistico, Nakamura, Fin Balor, Kevin Owens, and tons of others. It's never been a lack of talent that's prevented WWE from making stars

It still rules that after seven years of trying to make Roman the top babyface they turned him heel when the crowd isn't even there to boo him.

On a new Mature Listeners, we previewed the G1 Climax with Dom, and did a workrate draft, putting together a slate of 4 guys we think will have the best matches. Vote on our Workrate Draft performance in the poll: https://twitter.com/TalkSpall/status/1308854415261081607?s=19

i clicked on dom to make sure shane was the only one with no votes, at the time that i voted anyway, but i am not really sure. one of the biggest swings for me would be Juice robinson. the one true definition of workrate would determine his value to my person as either the lowest in the draft or in the top 5. he is one of the highest in energy-exertion and 'always doing something' which is what work rate kinda means in real sports. and then with Due respect i feel personally and not outside of my area, encroaching on no one else's beliefs or feelings, that he is the worst wrestler on there. so with that in mind, who cares about what i am saying. no one has read this and i think that's a good idea, and i don't want to even keep thinking about what i've said or talk about it anymore. that seems like a fun little exercise to have done. what y'all did

Even setting the confusing syntax aside, I honestly have no clue whatsoever about what he's talking about here. Outside of a reply to him sending me my HOF ballot where I asked him a question about the categorization about one of the nominees, I've emailed him twice in the last year. I didn't mention him in either Riddle story. I did express some frustration on Twitter on Sunday night about how he covered it on Jason Agnew's podcast (ignoring the major red flags from the Riddle sidle in what Jason was treating as the lead news story), I tweeted about the Will Cooling/Dave/Ospreay/Pollyanna thing when I saw that Will had talked about it on his podcast, and I pointed out Dave reporting a physically impossible date for when the Riddle side alleges that Candy Cartwright "made a scene at Full Sail and was escorted out," but that's it. All completely reasonable criticisms of his coverage and also things that don't appear to have any resemblance to what he posted here.

Someone brought up your Lawler story, and he shut someone down pretty quick when they were trying to defend your story, to an extent.  The same party asked if he had any specific lies in mind, as opposed to possible uncharitable readings, and his board members responded with a bunch of stuff (most of which seemed like uncharitable readings, at worst) which is probably why he didn't bother to respond to them. Personally, while Dave pisses me off occasionally, I like both of you, so, shrug.
