Part two!!! Part two part two part two part two!



We talked about everything else that happened over WrestleMania weekend, and now I, MRT, Nut Bunnies, KFG and HulkaMatt spend an hour going over WrestleMania itself.

"Did anyone with any intelligence say anything?"

"No, because they don't have any intelligence."

Sounds like some solid reasoning.

Edit: After listening to the whole podcast, I've come to the conclusion that I shouldn't listen to this podcast.

I'm not a big fan of some of the random mudslinging and bashing done in the podcast. Now, I didn't watch Wrestlemania so I can't exactly say whether or not a match was good or bad, but I disagreed with a lot of the points made about other stuff, I didn't like that little exchange I quoted before, I didn't like the hosts bagging on people complaining about not being able to see from the seats they dropped a shitload of money from, or the hosts bagging on people complaining that the webcast didn't work when it's 2013 and expecting something as simple as streaming video to work, I didn't like the hosts bagging on people for just booing and being disappointed with the end of Cena/Rock instead of throwing poo poo at the wrestlers...

So, like I said, I think this was my first and last time listening.

I don't remember any of us actually complaining about any of that. Granted I left a couple of times to use the bathroom or wander aimlessly (I had a loooooooooong weekend) but none of that sounds like anything anyone would say.

Edit: Well, technically I said part of the quote you originally posted (I have no idea what the context was) but the rest of it just sounds like things we were bullshitting about and not taking very seriously.

They were definitely making GBS threads on the people complaining about the seats. I don't remember the rest but I really wasn't bothered by any of it.

All of those things happened at some point and it was Nut Bunnies every time, but it was pretty clearly tongue-in-cheek I thought?

Wow, that's weird. I honestly don't think I even knew there were obstructed views until after we recorded. I fully expect people to pull out quotes where I said that stuff.

The thing is, I'm just pointing out specific conversation topics because it's more illustrative than for me to say "The show wasn't fun to listen to" and "You didn't really entertain someone who didn't watch the event". I listen to a buttload of podcasts and this one just didn't do it for me. If I actually knew who any of these voices were, or the structure had a little more... structure, or if I had actually watched Wrestlemania and knew what you guys were talking about, rather than listening to the show in hopes that y'all would help me get what it was like to watch the event...

Listen, it's not you, it's me. I just think we should see other people. We can still be friends.

Oh, alright:

Topics! 1. Dolph Ziggler's the new World Heavyweight Champion!
2. And hey, Wade Barrett's the new Intercontinental Champion!
3. And yes, the crowd was insane tonight.
4. How long can we expect Undertaker to stay around?
5. What do we think of Ryback's crowd-beloved heel turn?
6. WRESTLER OF THE WEEK: Greg "The Hammer" Valentine
7. What do we think of NXT? Who among the roster has a future in WWE?
8. HYPOTHETICAL QUESTION TIME: You are the booker for [insert random indy here]. You have John Cena for one night, and one night only. What do you do with him?
9. FEUD OF THE WEEK: Christian vs. William Regal/Ezekiel Jackson

The only Greg Valentine match I've ever seen was him vs. King Kong Bundy from Heroes of Wrestling and that's the worst wrestling match I've ever seen.

Also NJPW clearly books John Cena against Bob Sapp, and AAA books him against Jeff Jarrett

He's right though. I wouldn't take that as a statement on his feelings of appropriateness or whatever. Mitrione was probably at slap on the wrist level until the sick, disgusting, sociopathic freak part.

Yeah, I don't necessarily think Dave is wrong when he says Mitrione would have been fine if he just left it at "I don't think Fallon Fox should be fighting women" and didn't go off on a rant about it.

Don't you have a little thing called freedom of speech in USA USA USA USA!

If you tremble with indignation at every injustice, then you are a comrade of mine.
I knew nothing about this story until reading about it in this thread and holy poo poo Matt Mitrione is an idiot I'm surprised at how smart UFC is being in how clear they're making it that this isn't cool and won't be tolerated.

The "should she be fighting women" question is a valid one to ask and could be used for the benefit of transgender awareness and understanding but this is combat sports so it'll probably only get worse.

Oh yeah, again, I'm saying that Mitrione should be free to express his opinion that this woman shouldn't be fighting, not to go off and personally insult her and use slurs.

Mitrione would have been fine if he had just said, "Nah, at this point I don't think a person who has/is transitioning should be fighting women that's kinda messed up imo." But he got real transphobic real fast.
