Listening to the WO Raw Review this morning, it really hit me how the WWE has dropped the ball with Daniel Bryan. Stupid WWE.
Another great line: "I thought they were going to announce later tonight that Smackdown was drafted to Monday nights."

Speaking of Bryan, even though it's not podcast related, in figure four weekly this week I got a fantastic mental image from this.

quote:

Smackdown is also on Tuesdays, the day after they've re-written Raw a hundred times, so Vince doesn't go in there with his flaming sword and tear everything apart right and left.

He was talking about Daniel Bryan and I just got this image of Vince walking through Gorilla, flaming sword in hand beheading creative workers for having awful ideas. It made me laugh for hours.

I am soooo happy that Bryan and Vinny reviewed Tuesday Night Titans this week. I watched it a few days ago and the match with the blue box was hilarious.

It's no more annoying than "And they did this WHYYYY?!" or any of his other verbal tics

None of which are new. But the "I could not buh-LEEEVE" does, for whatever reason, make me angry.

Nothing is as bad as the nyupp, though.

That's what board people call his weird yup-like noise he makes when agreeing with something. It's more a yup than a nyupp, but nyupp stuck somehow.

He was kinda boring but other than that I didn't mind.

The only thing I really disliked lately is Bryan ranting about some dude on the board for like 10 minutes. I just don't give a poo poo.

Bryan's verbal tics, to me, were an extension of his real life gimmick: Angry, boisterous, tiny man. Just like Dave is a wrestling encyclopedia cyborg.

If he replaced his "y'know"s with "Searching... please wait", the gimmick would be flawless.

For what it's worth, Jez provided some great comedy on the Board. Like the time he freaked out because Bryan didn't return his email quickly enough or something, which culminated with a meltdown where he claimed he had evidence that could destroy Figure Four / Wrestling Observer.

Bryan also announced on the B and V show that someone was banned because he'd received a never ending streams of emails about it. Judging from the content of that board and the amount of poo poo on it, if people want you banned you really must be a terrible poster there.

That was Rovert. I don't frequent The Board that much either, because it's mostly filled with annoying, unfunny trolls, but I swear to God, every single thread I ever clicked on, this dude had a reply within the first 5 posts. He had something like over 50 thousand posts total and I'm willing to bet that 90% of them were of the low content poo poo-post variety that would get you banned from SA in less than a week.

Ahh yeah that was it. Like I said, I don't frequent it that much. I only read threads that people tell me I have to read, like the Jez thread which is loving comedy gold.

And I really don't like Todd Martin. He brings nothing positive to any show he's on.

e: I still have my shout out but with more than a few people using it for NWA:MS, I'm going to save it for the next ridiculous indy promotion that some goon discovers.

To be completely honest, you could pick out any name on the Board at random and you probably have at worst a 50% chance it's a poo poo poster. There are so many gimmicks and maladjusted twats there it's almost mind-blowing.

Markren (or is it Makren, anyway who cares) is the resident podcast listener, and by that I mean he listens to every wrestling podcast possible and tries to hype each and every one of them up regardless of quality. I do not know why he does this - if he has his own show and hopes some sort of karmic juju will descend upon him and give him listeners or what, but it's rather mystifying.

And then there's Supersonic, who threadshit on the Larry Sweeney memorial thread, claiming he was a crook and a liar. It eventually came out Supersonic gave Sweeney an extra Wrestlemania ticket years ago that he just happened to have, and Sweeney never got him back. Keep in mind Sweeney was completely off the deep end at the time and probably had no recollection of any of it. Supersonic has been relentlessly mocked ever since.

Jez has been brought up, and to be fair to him if he isn't a complete and total shut-in, then he has Asperger's Syndrome.

Who else... Cheekbone, a gimmick account who responds to practically every radio show thread with "won't listen" and generally wishes harm on Alvarez. There's Randy Ortans Truck, who is either a gimmick, 13 years old, or a complete idiot. Same with Brockzilla.

But you take all that, and at least you can look at most of it and laugh. With Rovert, the real problem was people would respond to him and threads would turn into multiple pages long BS. It got very tiresome, and in a lot of ways, sad.

The Board is in many ways a fantastic social experiment, the more I look at it.

With Dave's technological savvy this would lead to him tearing the VHS tape out of the black plastic and shoving it into his computer's floppy drive.
