Anyone know how to add the Observer shows to the Overcast app? I've tried using the following: http://username:password But that doesn't seem to work. I get a download failed error. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? EDIT: Never mind. Overcast doesn't support password protected feeds. loving ridiculous. Viper_3000 fucked around with this message at 07:28 on Feb 23, 2015 |

Also for the one guy's hopeful attempt to identify Michael Elgin. ".....and he's black, right?"

It's not some great Vinnie vs TNA rant, but it's a pretty cutting put down of how Vince is pushing someone to the main event of Mania that isn't over. The most telling part is when Dave drops the dumbshits line, Bryan responds along the lines of "wow, that's a bit harsh don't you think?" and Dave does his pause, "ehhhh," pause, continue on response which means "I don't think it's harsh, but I don't want to push it too hard" thing he does sometimes.

I can't get much into any Dave burial of WWE because the fact is they're going to make money regardless of how stupid the booking is so what does it matter anyway

Obviously it's a company that's not going to die. It doesn't make their decisions less infuriating to someone like Dave.

That was the worst I've heard Dave bury anyone since he went on a 10 minute rant about Cena after a particularly bad Cena match on Raw some time last year. But Bryan phrased it most succinctly when he said something to the effect of, look, your choice is between the right guy who will have a great match but Vince doesn't support, and the wrong guy who will have a bad match but Vince supports him. Ugh.

Did Vinny flip his poo poo about the Ambrose/BNB finish or was he too exhausted to care?

Dave's burial of Vince wasn't one of the funny ones, it was more sad like putting down Old Yeller or something. Meltzer always had a lot of respect for Vince and would cut him slack, but he clearly can't do it anymore.

Yeah but it's not remotely cathartic to listen to when you know it isn't actually going to hurt them in any significant way. The total destruction of WCW over a short period was a lot more satisfying to witness in the sense that there were actual catastrophic consequences for all those terrible decisions. It's a lot less fun to berate someone for their stupidity when they experience little in the way of negative consequences.

Figured I'd get in on this $4 for a month of observer thing - where do I stop it auto-renewing? I see there's a 'payment history' section in the Your Account that shows the $4 thing with a cancel link, is that it? Or will I be cancelling my payment or something stupid. Also, any recommendations of older stuff would be cool.

I've never actually been automatically billed by the Observer. I don't know whether that's just my account or what.

Or lied about how many people they thought would subscribe to the network in order to artificially inflate stock prices. It's sad that with the WWE I'm not sure which of these is actually true. I suppose the question is whether better booking and a better product would actually create more subscribers. I'd think so. Not that I expect another Attitude Era boom, but even 150k more serious fans would make a huge difference for the company.

The interview with Jason Hervey on the LAW, along with the way they were hyping it up all through the show was very annoying. Not sure what I was expecting but it was really dumb and they were acting like it was the pinnacle of wit.

The people who run WWE as a business still don't understand that they can't bait and switch shareholders and generally run a publicly-traded company like a rigged carny sideshow. The people who run WWE creative are either pants-on-head stupid or so invested in backstage politicking that they can't put a cohesive show together anymore.
