Bruno is the best. I have heard some of these stories before but I could listen to them 100 times.

I don't give the slightest gently caress about the WWWF but Bruno is incredibly entertaining and the nicest person.quote:I don't want to judge the man and his whole career. But with what I experienced a little bit I absolutely thought he was terrible.

it did have the net effect of making me turn the podcast off for 5 minutes and listen to the original really really loud. So for that at least you have my thanks. on a note about other podcasts, I'm trying to decide whether it's time to stop listening to My Breakfast With Chikara. I really want this to be a fun show, but what it ends up being is a bad interviewer asking wrestlers dull questions about their workout routine and their favourite gas station.

Yeah it lives and dies on the wrestler being able to carry a one sided conversation. They need a new host or a bunch of fan questions or something. PJ is no Colt Cabana.

So after coming across his tirade on Jon Snowden and his review of Splice, my opinion of Mike Coughlin just got a lot more favorable. I was near tears listening to the latter at work today.

He got mad that Meltzer said the UFC rating sucked and said "Dave Meltzer, you just lost your job at Yahoo, buddy. The last thing anyone needs from you is business advice."

Dana UFC on Fuel Faifax Vlog Entertaining promo on Dave. e: He has a decent case. The absolute numbers were poo poo but UFC on Fox 3 was the top show in all male demos and the main event among all adults. ee: Assuming Dana isn't just making poo poo up.

For those that don't know, Yahoo's new CEO shut down the MMA division despite the fact that it was successful compared to other parts of the site. Also Dave Meltzer has been studying ratings much longer than Dana White has.

Also Dave apparently has a new gig on Grantland (Bill Simmons' ESPN offshoot). Not that they do MMA stories very often (Dave's one article there was about Overeem).

It's a really bad number, and Dana is just trying to spin things. You could tell he wasn't completely serious when he almost started cracking up talking about his article on how not to lose your job at Yahoo Sports.

Frankly it was a "if the next one wasn't already on the schedule, it wouldn't be airing in a remotely decent time slot" number, and the fact that Zuffa hasn't moved a big fight onto that show indicates to me that they know the die is already cast.

I don't blame Dana for being mad. Meltzer kept saying how one rating wouldn't mean anything the first time and that the second would mean something, then when the second came around and was a good rating he said wait for the third. Finally a bad rating comes around and he writes that huge article. Dana saying what he said wasn't the way to do it, but I'd be a bit mad.

No NFL to hype it during. Meltzer's been analyzing ratings for like 2 decades now. I'm pretty sure he doesn't just make poo poo up.

I find it so funny how Dave & Bryan describe WWE as booking on the fly to surprise viewers, and TNA booking long term like with the Roode / Storm program. I know that for a long time TNA was known as a company that planned months in advance, it just really hit me on this Observer episode how messed up the situation is.

Colt was genuinely funny and personable on Jordan Jesse Go. It's always a little tense for me when I hear wrestling personalities in other genres, because what's charismatic to us isn't necessarily charismatic to the rest of the world, but Colt really does have pretty good comic timing, and his chemistry with the hosts was great.

If TNA would ditch Bischoff and Hogan, they would be so miles ahead of WWE right now when it comes to booking.
