Bryan's rant about refs on the most recent B&V show was rather asinine. Has he ever gotten pissed over a big tatted up dude like Josh Rosenthal reffing bantamweight fights?

MMA fans understand the importance of weight divisions.

Wrestling has no weight divisions. It's simply "be able to gently caress everyone else up"

Nah. I have an account and all, but I very rarely post. When I do, it's usually in Alan's forum, which is a pretty good place.

I actually do get mildly irked by many of Bryan's Bryanisms, but not to the degree the Studio.....................Apartment line gets me. Dunno why, maybe he pauses too long or something. Regardless, I do love Colt's podcast.

I think the pauses will only get longer as the podcast goes on. It'll become part of the joke.

I kind of like it. I laughed pretty hard the first time I heard it, and it's really the only "quotable" thing on the podcast (unless you memorize his ad spots). Sure, he's said it each week for the past 52 weeks, but that doesn't differ from the norm in wrestling.

It'll also be exciting to hear if he ever changes it due to moving into a bigger apartment.

So why doesn't WWE let their wrestlers do the Observer any more or shows like that often but they can do something really open like Art of Wrestling?

Where does WWE draw the line?

Probably because the Observer is considered a dirtsheet, whereas Colt is just a guy that hangs out with other guys in his apartment.

They stopped doing the big interviews on wrestling sites and radio shows right after the Monday Night Wars ended and they didn't have to anymore, really. I'm not sure why Colt gets a pass.

...I have over 20,000 posts there. Which if you see the postcount thread there, puts me in small company.

Before the Observer merger the board was much friendlier even with everyone still hating Bryan, which I don't think Bryan gets enough respect for. He has somehow cultivated his entire client base to disagree with what he says, and he just goes with it. Everyone's biggest fans (from celebrities to internet celebrities) are probably the ones that make fun of you the most.

The shitposting on the board now ebbs and flows depending on certain time periods (KOTB really brings it out.) Its very easy to get into a trolling mood when there are no mods (Alan4L certainly doesn't count.)

Just listened to the last two Art of Wrestling podcasts and have a few thoughts. I'm now officially on the get Ryder on TV! bandwagon. If they let this dude be himself on Raw week after week he could be a huge merch seller. And he's good in the ring so I'd prefer he'd get the push Alex Riley is getting.

Also Chris Hero is cool as gently caress. I just hope none of the Raw writers hear about Claudio-isms. I'd hate for someone as talented as him to be saddled with a Melonade gimmick. Although, I must admit that I'd buy a Waterlemon shirt the second it went on sale.

The best part is it's a complete Russo idea, and he's so passionate about it being great. Vinny's exhausted "...no, dude, it's dumb" reaction was great, though. Doubly so because I can remember Bryan ranting about how you HAVE to make things obvious for the retards in the audience and now he's claiming Vinny's being too cynical.

Except you got to see Matt. Bryan's saying you literally never show Punk. The announcers didn't acknowledge it, sure, but Matt even grabbed the house mic during that angle. It didn't die until they 'officially' brought him back with Vince.
