The bodybuilding tangent on the new Observer Radio was freaking brilliant. I love it when Old Man Dave comes out.

E: Going back to Dana being pissed at Dave over the Showtime/Strikeforce stuff, this was in today's update.

quote:

--At the UFC press conference today, Dana White admitted that Strikeforce fighters, when their Strikeforce contracts are up, can't come to UFC as long as Strikeforce is on Showtime. In other words, some people over the past few days were delusional and making things up.

I've been going through old B&V episodes that took place around PPVs or events that interest me and have found several hilarious blurbs.

In one bit, she's answering questions and the question is something to the effect of asking if she gets facials because her skin looks soft. She then says "No, I've never had a facial." Bryan is speechless while Vinny tries to suppress laughter.

On an unrelated note, what ever happened to that Mark guy that would help them review PPVs? I listened to him during the December to Dismember review and he was the absolute worst type of casual fan.

Dana is what he is. But this last one was a big mistake on his part. The one before was and wasn't, in the sense he did call first, we talked it out, he told me what he wasn't going to do and I can't get mad at him for trying to protect the perception of his company. That's what a promoter does. He got carried away and made himself look bad, but I wasn't mad and took no offense to it and I'm not going to waste my time because somebody called me a name.

This one is different. As best I can tell, someone listened to a show, ignored the topic (Cyborg vs. Rousey, if it happens, being moved to a UFC PPV on 12/29 being the best move for business), wrote an article not understanding my explanation as to why, Cindy Ortiz reads it, again not having heard it, not knowing the context, not contacting me to understand what it was said, tells Dana, also not having heard it, not knowing the context, not contacting me to hear the context, he freaks out, then when he hears the explanation, says I'm lying and making things up, even at that point knowing the point was accurate.

Dana is Dana. But still, he should probably chill the gently caress out and not call people a liar when they're telling the truth.

He was on for a couple of shows (one of the Royal Rumbles, the Lockdown where Foley won the title) and he really didn't get any better.

Every single one of his points involved the phrase "gently caress that motherfucker." It gets old after about 5 minutes.


Also, I hear a lot of references to Brent Kremen, who seems like an odd guy. What's the deal with him?

Listen to really old Bryan and Vinny shows or the show where Bryan was going to review a RAW & SmackDown but instead they told Brent Stories from his wedding for like an entire hour. He can not be explained.

It's funny: Anytime you hear "Well, X is X, what can I tell you?", what that really means is "He's an rear end in a top hat, but he has something to offer, so we put up with it". And even Dave, who is among the most socially awkward guys I've ever seen in sports journalism, gets this.

Well JR loved recruiting legit athletes, so it makes sense he would put over their athletic credentials.

He loved calling Billy Gunn the best pure athlete in the WWF too, I think.

If Bryan doesn't bury Mike for trying to copy his spiel and saying F4W Online instead of Figure Four Online then I'll be sorely disappointed. Do need to listen to the rest of the show though, at least the Impact stuff. With B&V not happening I'm hoping they do a full show review.

--I would like to open this by thanking Todd Martin for all his work covering Raw for so many years, dating back to the Observer site long before Bryan and I put this new site together. Tonight will be his last Raw report. Todd has done a great job with this, trying to do the difficult distinction between judging the show based on both entertainment and business considerations (the latter which isn't easy because ratings of a singular television show and business over the next month or months are often not all that related). Martin follows a string of a number of Raw reviewers we've had dating back to the late Nilton Fernandes, who I also wanted to bring up because it's been almost ten years since his tragic death in 2002, and he would have gone on to be one of the best wrestling and MMA writers around had he lived. Todd will continue covering MMA and have his weekly Thursday show on the site.
