I don't know who Big Daddy is, nor do I give a poo poo about him, so a lot of audio this week has been insufferable.

Whoever submitted the campaign slogan threatening more Big Daddy audio if Bryan didn't win should have won the $10

SAY WHAT?! Educate yourself, son. :colbert:

He admits Big Daddy was a horrendous worker.

But he's pretty famous outside of wrestling.

It's hard to understand if you aren't British, but people adored Big Daddy. He's referenced often on TV, his catchphrases are still used today and he's well known by people who weren't even alive when he was in his prime. He's a huge part of British culture.

Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks are pretty much the 2 British wrestlers EVERYONE in the country knows whether they follow wrestling or not. Yeah he sucks as a wrestler but when it comes to pure fame he's unmatched in the UK.

I would also like to submit that I would get way more excited for Gut Check if it was just billed as Doug Williams beating the gently caress out of people.

As has been mentioned by Regal and others, Big Daddy was literally so popular that he self sustained a territory basically single-handedly, got people over simply by tagging with them, and was so popular that the loving Queen of England made no bones about being a wrestling fan.

And Dave's point is the territory wasn't very successful, was on the decline when Big Daddy was on top and was quickly destroyed by the WWE. The dude became super famous, but by the criteria of the WO Hall of Fame he doesn't fit.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
The show is my only connection to MMA now (the last fight I saw was the Fox premiere) and it sounds like Dana White has basically become the Mr. McMahon character.

No, not really. Big Daddy could barely move, so getting a good match out of him was pretty much impossible, unless it was a tag match where his partner and the other team could work around him while he waited for the hot tag.

Pretty good MLW podcast this week - Court buries Dave Lagana for being a creepy rear end in a top hat and praises Mean Gene Okerlund for being awesome, and Konnan talks about how his stint in the Navy snapped him out of being a Republican, and how Silver King and some of the other luchadors are chubby chasers.

He wasn't saying 9/11 was definitely an inside job, he was just saying that he understands why people would think it was, since the government has done shady stuff to start wars in the past. At least, that's my interpretation. Wrestling is full of conspiracy nuts, so maybe he is one of those Loose Change guys.

The nice thing about Konnan working for AAA is that he's free enough from wrestling politics to speak freely, and to not let his guests or co-hosts sidestep anything. Bryan probably wouldn't have pressed Court about Dave Lagana either, and Konnan's snipe at Terry Taylor was awesome and well-deserved.

He's still more reasonable than Lance Storm.

And all that Lagana stuff makes him sound like a real gently caress up, considering all he's said. That's assuming everything Court said is true, which it may not be.
