That's all I ask.

Actually, I also ask for questions! For the past few shows I've been able to run through a list of questions that you fine folks have submitted, but that list is now perilously close to being completely empty! If we don't get more questions, we're going to have to resort to actually discussing things at length, which nobody wants. We might even have to seriously talk about...........TNA.

10 Counters! I actually have two questions, if that's alright; one for my own benefit, and one on behalf of my brother.

My brother has been on the periphery of wrestling for years, through hearing about it from my viewing. He last enjoyed it (apparently) around the New Generation Era ('93-'97), but got tired of the "reality" that came in with the Attitude Era and beyond (Austin being just a guy pissed off at his boss? Pfft.). He says the older wrestling was closer to a fighting game where you basically have two over-the-top personas fighting for the hell of it, and you didn't really have to care about story past 'you have title, me want'. Modern wrestling, by comparison, is a drama series. Everyone has an "unnecessary" backstory, and the most outlandish gimmick is a guy that is from England rather than America. Is there a way to reintroduce him into the flock, as it were, or would he be better served elsewhere?

My question is: What, in your opinion, is the greatest angle in terms of execution? For my money, I'd say the initial nWo introduction, but maybe that's just me.

DIRECTIVE 236: Promote pro-social values
I think Big Dave's hearing is going or he needs to turn the volume up while he's watching RAW and doing three million other activities at the same time.

He would also save a lot of time by just saying "NO" and moving on any time Bryan says he has a theory on something, although I kind of love hearing him try to shoot down inane theories without overtly saying that Bryan is being stupid and wrong.

I think I asked this one already but I'll throw it in the pile again: If you could show three matches (can be part of one storyline) to someone with no knowledge of wrestling to get them into it, what would you choose?

(For instance, the three matches that hooked me were Cena/RVD ONS 2006, Punk/Cena MITB 2011, and Bryan/Sheamus WM 2012)

I would probably go with Austin-Hart WM 13, Angle-Michaels WM 21 and Punk-Lesnar SummerSlam 2013.

I love Punk/Cena MITB 2011 but without context I don't know that it has the same impact.

Here's a q for you punchsport crew. With the soon to be introduced Los Matadores, and to an extent ballroom dancer Fandango and Tensai's original entrance attire, do you think WWE is moving back towards more character gimmicks in the midcard like in the early 90s? Just curious to hear your thoughts!

Given that they've been introducing ballroom dancers, bayou cult leaders, and matadors, you really just have to show him a Bray Wyatt match. Or get him to watch NXT, which has a preening male model angry at a goofball hippie for photobombing his promos. Or I dunno, maybe he'd like Chikara/Wrestling Is.

This day in "Dave Meltzer is great because he's the best wrestling historian, but sometimes the English language fails him":

"Sin Cara had a dislocated finger from landing when doing the tope on Alberto Del Rio. Dr. Michael Samson reset the finger in the ring. He was getting the hand X-rayed today to see if any of his fingers were broken. Why, when Sin Cara was hurt, that Del Rio wouldn't leave him alone, was Del Rio being furious that he wouldn't continue the match."

Ashley once quit so she could come back in a position of power to drive home that she was a better employee than seth. Steph on the other hand made Shane leave the company.
