Austin was injured in Japan, and the taping that he missed because of that injury was one where he was going to job out pretty bad, and WCW didn't think he was really injured so they canned him. And also Dave goes super-literal on his analogies.

Okay, some smartass started a GDT for UFC 151. Which is a pretty funny troll.

But then they forgot they who they were trollin'.

(Should Chael be at the arena)

Dave posted:

He should be there with a camera crew and Lance Russell with an octagon and 11,000 empty seats.

Empty Arena matches started in Memphis

quote:

Right now he should ask for a ten count and have them count Jones out.

quote:

The crowd sure is arriving late. The place is empty and the PPV portion is about to start.

quote:

I wonder if we can trick Hunter into thinking this is a boxing show and they want him to hold up Jones' belt because he thinks we mean Roy Jones and see if he forgets to bring his fake cast again so we can get a big story on WWE.com as damage control.

He thought that one was so good he tweeted it too

(Are we getting a recap on observer radio)

quote:

In honor of the legacy of UFC 151 that will be one hour of silence.

quote:

Maybe we can start a petition to get Cameron hired as a ring girl. At least if Dana asks her the best match she's ever seen, and she says Miesha Tate vs. Julie Kedzie, people will think she knows what she's talking about.

(crowd seems dead)

quote:

Fight Factory kills people's heat.

Koscheck just arrived and nobody made a sound.

quote:

Chael just showed up. Sounds like he memorized some Terry Funk promo from 1981.

quote:

He just poured motor oil over his head and said, "BTW, his reach won't matter. He will hit me, so what. I will get him down, and he will NEVER get up. I'm 5 takedowns away from being Champ."

And then that guy who played Little Devon in some WWE skit showed up with Inspector Gadget arms holding a bag with the caption "Jon Jones arrives, 6:52 p.m."

:iiam:

quote:

Henderson's in the front row with a crutch. I smell a set up.

quote:

Mayhem Miller just arrived. He's holding a fire extinguisher and he's looking for Nick Diaz. This could give the sport a black eye.

What? I don't even...

quote:

Police just showed up. Miller apologized. He said it was a miscommunication. He said he was reading a story in the Las Vegas Sun that called the Mandalay Bay Events Center the "Cathedral" of entertainment. Then he took all his clothes off and he was wearing underwear that read "Don't be scared, Homie."

... Oh :iceburn:

quote:

Somebody at press row just told me a joke.

Did you realize that it's going to go down in history that the winner of the Wrestler of the Year award for 2012 was booked in 2011 by Vince Russo to wear a mask, be called Okato and wasn't even allowed to wrestle.

I said Vince Russo was a bad judge of talent, but let's not be preposterous.

:staredog:

quote:

John Laurinaitis was watching the feed and when Jay Hieron came out, he thought it was the guy who did the Ric Flair and Randy Savage impersonation on Impact.

quote:

Dana just texted me. He said the empty arena was because September is the start of Christmas season and the fan base is all out shopping. He did agree the judging sucked in the last fight.

quote:

Miguel Torres just got hired back. Now he's back on twitter. He going for Marty's record.

(gets heckled)

quote:

Hath. You're still retarded even in the middle of a fantasy show.

Zing.

quote:

Great, just what we need is a replay of the Guida vs. Maynard fight. Glad Gray didn't get hurt two weeks before this fight or else they'd have no time to completely rework Guida's brilliant game plan for the new opponent.

quote:

Main event doesn't even start for 25 more minutes. Hieron is stinking the joint up still.

(This can't really be Dave)

quote:

If you can rationalize that a guy trained until he was ready to puke, had all his training partners pound on him for three straight months to get ready, was about to make a million dollars and then decided it was smarter to become a laughing stock, then yes, it really is me.

If not, it's some Mexican guy.

quote:

Okada vs. Tanahashi was way more fun.

quote:

Torres was just fired again. Free advice to UFC fighters, don't joke about someone saying Stop Don't No loudly and pretending you heard no don't stop because you're dyslexic.

(Forrest ran out of the building)

quote:

Like Jackson would need more than three days to come up with that game plan.

quote:

Every time Buffer announces him as Jake Ellen Berger, I keep thinking his parents conceived him watching some afternoon talk show host.

quote:

Have you ever thought about what life must be like if you're Evangelista Cyborg Santos, and everywhere you go people talk behind your back about how your husband beats you up worse than Nick Diaz ever did?

quote:

Overeem isn't really that scary, but he can sure run fast. Did you know Overeem runs a 4.3 40? He did tonight when some guy holding a cup tapped him on the shoulder.

I'm here all week, stay for the fish.

quote:

Yeah, about that guy who ran WCW and did a storyline where he was trying to put WCW out of business. That worked out well. Kind of like that booker who thought it would be a good idea to run a storyline that his wife was having an affair on him with some guy he's feuding with.

At least if I was running WWE I'd use the history of wrestling to make some money, like take kickbacks from the guys on who gets Layla to be their girlfriend in storyline.

(Someone posted that Chael was going to wait in the rafters at every UFC show until he gets his title shot which I thought was pretty funny)

quote:

I've already talked with Chael about this.

We have a bet on which of our sons takes on a fake identity and marries Aurora Rose on the rebound and then gets the entire McMahon-Helmsley-Levesque empire.

I came up with it watching the remake of "Dallas."

And then the thread ends with Coughlin saying Dave is the Undertaker because he always brings it on the big shows, and Todd going "WTF is going on".

Cena tried to do NXT and got shut down. He is the real disrespected talent.

Anyone would believe Dave when he said it would never happen unless they were incredibly naive or believed they were in a position where the office no longer said no to them.
Punk.
I guess The Rock falls into the same category.

Naive guess: Mark Henry, fresh off a very well regarded run and no longer WHC.

I doubt The Rock would need to ask the WWE to do a media appearance, even if it is Wrestling Observer. If he really wanted to do it, I assume he would do it.

THE END
Sometimes I remember just really weird moments from old WORs and I feel like I can't get it out of my head unless I share it. Here's one of them.

I remember, I think soon after Brock had his first kid, Bryan was being really weird about (and I'm quoting to the best of my knowledge) "if anyone was going to eat their own kid, it would be Brock."

Which led to Dave responding literally, as Dave is wont to do, and telling Bryan the Brock is not going to eat his son.

And then Bryan sputtered and said something like he isn't saying Brock was going to eat his son, but if SOMEONE was going to eat his or her son, it would be Brock.

And then Dave reiterated that Brock was not going to eat his kid.

So I'm wondering if anyone else remembers hearing this, and especially if time is making me remember this as more bizarre than it actually was.
