Deadpool posted:I remember reading about that guy in Bret's book I think. From what I remember he was really lovely. I haven't heard the podcast yet though. The story as told is Magee is a lovely wrestler, but Bret makes him look amazing (Dave says this, not a Bret exaggeration). Magee, who was heavily scouted by Vince McMahon and Pat Patterson, is now seen as the next big thing in pro wrestling, except he's completely awful and leaves the business before too long, never again having a good match.

We were that close to this guy being our Ultimate Warrior which, well, gently caress it couldn't be that much worse.

jez is dedicated to his craft and does full research before forming a very calculated and interesting opinion. todd martin has diarrhea of the mouth and also the rear end.

Captain Charisma posted: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. One of my all time favorite episodes is about Vinny's wedding where they were worried that Kremin dude was annoying Dave but when they got there they were just talking about wrestling and were like "oh yeah Dave is happy to talk wrestling with anyone, even him." And I loved Jez, one of the only times I've posted on THE BOARD was to ask him an obscure question about something probably only I cared about with Smackdown v Raw and he answered me right away.

I don't remember most of the assholes on The Board, but I think I do remember rovert and gently caress that guy My favorite times on there were when sprewell rimz and I hijacked the site with the help of Tony when Bryan and Vinny were gone for the night, and when I trolled Bix to the point where he left for good. gently caress Bix.

Strenuous Manflurry posted:The Board is in many ways a fantastic social experiment, the more I look at it. I dunno, I just find a lot of the supposed hardboarding legends to be huge letdowns when you actually see their posts. Rovert seems to have a rep as some sort of legendary troll but all his posting is really limp and low-effort and not even good trolling most of the time. Lemme tell ya these dorks wouldn't last three days on SA. Heh. *strokes neckbeard*

MassRayPer posted:Yeah. Christian is a better interview, but Jeff Hardy oozes charisma. He oozes other things too. I wouldn't say Jeff has more charisma than Christian, but he's definitely got something. He wouldn't be able to connect with the crowd the way he does and be so consistently over while being so terrible at promos if he didn't. Christian, while being infinitely better on promos, can seem a little bland sometimes, so I see why Dave would say Jeff is, in some ways, more charismatic.

Charisma is hard to explain, but it's that feeling that can get you into a wrestler. Jeff oozes charisma, which is why he got over so big in 2009.

I think Jeff's look helped him a lot too, he is pretty unique. I bet if he was starting today he'd be told to cut his hair and put on some trunks to show off his thighs.

If the Hardy Boys and Edge and Christian started in the WWE today they'd have been split up within 3 months, given crew cuts, fed awkward sounding "Angry heel with something to prove/happy smiling babyface who loves the WWE universe" promos, and would be jobbing to DH Smith on Superstars.

Don't get me wrong, I don't mean there are amazing, hysterical trolls there. It's just very interesting to see how generally intelligent people act without being forced to not be idiots by moderators. But hey, it's how Bryan wants it, which leads to things like this.

That's why I think it's a good alternative to this place. I like reasonable discussions, but sometimes I want to see random poo poo topics, trolls, and poo poo posts. Speaking of which this was one of my favorites.

Because everyone here should. Just don't listen to the Todd shows, and ESPECIALLY do not listen to Wrestling Weekly. Les Thatcher needs to get kicked in the balls. 1000 times. Until his balls explode. On that note, does anyone here have a sub to the Torch? A couple people on the Board have been complementary to it of late.

No. I can barely keep up with the podcasts I already listen to (mostly not wrestling related) so paying money for WO doesn't make sense to me - I like it, but I don't have time to listen to the thirty shows they put out a week, so I wouldn't feel like I was getting my money's worth when I have other podcasts I like more that don't cost me anything.

Usually when Dave and Bryan do a ton of shows in a row they say they don't know how they'll be by the end but it won't be pretty. This time however, they were so insane and hilarious tonight that the next three days should be something else.
