Listening to the newest lapsed fan (it grew on me and as did his Vince impression tangents) really drives home how loving bad he was.

The Vince impressions are one of the few things (besides the Meltzer bits) that keep me coming back. I'm especially a fan of "Vince reading the paper" bits.

I know he's clearly done a lot of work behind the scenes, but Russo is the content driver and the reason people are coming there. He might as well have been winking when he said it would be a 50/50 split.

Mob posted:We know it's you, Vince Ha. It just seems like such an over the top gesture and I can see Russo saying "Bro listen, I swear to god I will split this down the middle with you 50/50". I mean I also don't understand how you don't get something like that in writing either. Though it was interesting to see what their subscription figures were like (800 people) considering that a lot of the comments on that site were saying that they were clearly catching up to Observer subscriptions.

Abrasive Obelisk posted:The one that has Axel winning the US title? Yeah, it'd be such a WWE way of avoiding the 'problem' of having Cena with the US title/giving a storyline reason for Rusev to accept Cena's challenge. But I'm not sure if they'd give away Rusev's 'streak' so close to giving it to Cena

Taz weighed in on the Bill DeMott situation and it was a surprising contrast to Jericho's idiotic response. Taz has known Bill for 25 years, and I was a bit leery that he didn't want to condemn him without knowing more, but he also wouldn't defend Bill. Instead he talked about how wrestling training today is totally different and you can't expect people to put up with abuse as paying dues. Pretty interesting (and short) take on the subject that I didn't expect from such an old school dude.

There was an element of wishful thinking to that so I don't want to act like I'm some super prescient genius, but given how the bracket was set up and the tournament's history of being wackily booked I don't think anyone should have written off the possibility of a low blow rollup finish (I missed the match but I assume that's what happened?)

YTR's whole offense consisted of his various wacky pinning combos and one eventually worked clean.

Only now listening to the AOW with Buddy Landell and holy god it is one of the best/worst podcasts I've ever heard. I normally have zero interest in listening to old salty wrestlers talk about the business from a time when I wasn't watching, but this is great.

Swerved again!!!!quote:A couple weeks ago, Vince and I took a trip to Los Angeles to cover Lucha Underground. And yes, that is ALL we were there to do. Meltzer got his stories dead wrong, and it’s truly a shame that someone IN the company was feeding him such BS. It came with the territory though when it involves Vince — 95% of the stuff reported on him..I’ve found to be biased and/or completely off the mark.
