Awesome, I needed something to listen to while I try to sleep.

EDIT: I just realized that that probably sounded like I meant you were boring and that's totally not what I meant, haha. I just like to listen to stuff while I go to bed.

For ages I used to listen to the Tony Kornheiser show to put me to sleep. That was awesome. Something about Tony's radio voice that just makes me zzzzzzz

If I didn't see that story on the front page I would just assume Dave's kids had died or something to cause the show to be pushed back nearly 12 hours.

For me it's batshit insane Mikey, although I'll have always have a softspot for the following exchange:

Mick Foley: We're up against the Public Enemy, Mikey! Do you know what that means?

Mikey: Yeah....It means I'm gonna die!

Whipwreck was great on Art of Wrestling.


How long will it be until we get details on the CM Punk DVD set?
I was really surprised when Dave gave an emphatic "Yes. I believe that they would." when asked about WWE licensing ROH matches for a hypothetical (at the time) Punk or Danielson DVD.

What about WWE makes you think this is at all certain? There's two months of TV and a pay-per-view between now and WrestleMania, and it's not like the company has any problem making stupid, rash decisions to pop a rating.

If I had to bet, I'd say that Sheamus will get a title shot at WrestleMania, but his presence in the match--or, if he's in, that match being one-on-one--are hardly cast in stone.

If they did that to Sheamus, I'd probably not order Mania on principle alone. They can put whoever they want in that title match and it isn't going to mean poo poo because the Cena-Rock and HHH-Taker fights are going to be what sells the card. If there's one year to take the World Title and let two unproven guys have a chance to shine, it's this year.

Regardless, if they do anything, they'll move the belt off of Bryan, not take Sheamus' shot.

If they screw him they'll most likely just take the 'he cashes his match in on EC' route since he's being pimped out hard for it.

Considering he just revealed that it was greenlit, I would say not for a few months, at least.

It would be very interesting (and smart) if WWE actually reaches an agreement to include some old ROH matches.

From what Dave said, they considered having Cena win the Rumble and then the story would be him being conflicted about either going for the title or having has match with The Rock...which would have probably lead to him using his title shot at EC, win it and then make the Rock match for the title...

...and they wonder why people flat out reject Cena.

The one against fat Chris Hero in IWA MS? It looks really good in a package but the match itself is outright horrible. Also they would have to edit it for Punks potty mouth.

Wow, there's a pretty good piece by Dave in the current Observer about online piracy. He seems to have changed his position from "PIRACY IS KILLING THE BUSINESS" to "Piracy is an unavoidable side effect of the proliferation of the Internet as a world wide broadcasting tool, but is still morally wrong." :staredog:

edit: But he does still say the "Current generation believes everything should be free on the internet" :smug:

double edit

quote:

Skullcrusher Rasche Brown, 36, announced this past week he was retiring from wrestling due to injuries suffered in a 16 year career working mostly indies in the Midwest. [...]“My career is over, not by choice, for survival,” he wrote. “This hurts me more than almost anything in my life because wrestling was there when life was bad for me growing up a poor kid in a community where people don’t see a way out. It taught me right from wrong, good from evil an how to see through bullshit.” He noted that at the age of 5 he had a goal to become NWA world tag team champion and he and Keith Walker held those titles for two years.

First reaction: :smith:

Second reaction: UWF wrote his injury angle as being shot backstage after winning the title. :haw:
