I think Dave said in yesterday's update he's Flair's guest next week. Which admittedly should be great, assuming an Austin isn't pulled and it's accidentally not recorded.

Bill Simmons is leaving ESPN.

WWE tweeting about it today - https://twitter.com/WWEUniverse/status/596698962591100930

Back when Bill sat in on commentary, Dave said it was 'interesting' which is Big Dave code for "I know something, but can't say what'.

If Bill does anything with WWE, big Dave called it.

No that was recent, like within the last 2 months recent. I can't remember what it was about though.

"Dean, there's this little dude who lives in a pineapple under the sea! :aaa:"

It was a neat podcast, Dean just wanted to shoot the poo poo with Jericho about weird poo poo, and that was a lot of fun, even if some of the moon stuff was pretty cringeworthy - like Jericho suggesting that maybe the moon landings were faked possibly because otherwise we'd have amazing spaceships now since phones and computers are so much better today than they were even a few years ago.

Jericho's podcast has made me very grateful that he didn't go into any career that would require a semblance of responsibility or intelligence.

Dean busting out gigantopithecus was awesome. He may believe in some zany poo poo but at least he does his research.

In the early days of UFC Al Snow was Dan Severn's cornerman (or just his friend who was at cageside, something like that) so I want to believe that's who it is

I want Dave Meltzer's office to have a framed picture involving Al Snow. That's the world I now live in

Stuff from 2001 that could have been written yesterday.

Dave after Buff vs. Booker T flopped.

quote:

what was notable about WCW was that fewer people bought tickets, but those that did, made far more noise during the matches themselves. Even during the period where Vince McMahon started turning WWF back around after its nadir, the crowd reactions for WCW's matches, and that company was already being booked into oblivion, were stronger than WWF, where, whether it be its glory days of the 80s or the late 90s, people used to remark how the crowd popped for ring entrances and died once the bell rang, until they recognized somebody doing their signature finisher.

Bryan Alvarez at King of the Indies.

quote:

It built to a spot where Styles hit him with the pancake piledriver (called the Styles Clash) off the middle rope, which I thought FOR SURE was the finish. It wasn’t, however, and Daniels came back a minute or two later to get the win. I hate to complain about this match, but I personally would not have put that move in there, because it looked so freaking devastating

That was Christopher Daniels, but it brings up a thing I've been kinda curious about; was the Styles Clash a really big move when he started doing it? It was never really anything to me when I saw it until now, since he's ended the careers of a few people with it recently.

He was a flippy spot monkey back then so he'd probably finish off with spinal tap.

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.

So, we can assume one of two things about this photo for the New York Times. Either Dave doesn't give a gently caress, and is not willing to clean his office for them, or what we are seeing is the cleaned-up version.

AJ Styles pioneer award is also a nice touch. :v:

That TIJ with Dean was preeeetty good. Basically 2 minutes of wrestling politics were discussed (diva appearance when off the clock and how attitudes have changed for the good slightly since the 90s and 00s), and then just another 50 odd minutes of total dumb bullshit about Bigfoot, the Loch Ness monster, Tibetan monks who worship a yeti scalp (also, Dean says at one point they showed the scalp to JFK... in the 70s or 80s. Yeah), Dean chatting ghost stories with the Usos, and my favourite bit, the fact that Bo and Bray buy into literally any Nat Geo, Discovery or History channel conspiracy show that is put in front of them. I like how, as a believer in the possibility of Bigfoot and ghosts, Dean Ambrose manages to position himself as one of the saner backstage guys.
