I liked Tom's follow up when Dave mentioned the Patterson/Johnson I Quit match that was ruled a no contest when Patterson passed out in the camel clutch, "so was that under the Texas commission?"

Naw, they had 2 callers call in with Benoit conspiracy theories, causing Bryan to snap and declare clearly that Benoit killed his family and then himself.

I can't believe it's 2015 and people still think Benoit was murdered. Though that time Bryan convinced someone Kevin Sullivan shot down MH-17 was good.

It was entertaining because two hosses stiffing each other to death will kind of always be entertaining but it was also really sloppy.

that's not really a statement about the match quality, more like saying "well real fights aren't well-worked so it's more realistic to have a sloppily-worked match" is kind of silly

It depends on the match. Sometimes it adds to a match to not looked completely and perfectly choreographed.

i don't remember anything in that match that looked bad from the perspective of 'does it look like two guys actually trying to hurt each other', which should be all that matters.

This is 100% how I feel about all matches. I'd take "looks like it hurts" over "fancy & intricate" any day.

Even if you want realism in your matches, obvious botches can break realism just as much as any stupid choreographed flying indie spot.

It was one guy who called in three times. Bryan cut him off as soon as he recognized who it was and we got a good "Benoit killed his family!" rant out of it.

Was it 3? I only heard the 2. The first one I heard was the guy asking about Dave Taylor being at Benoit's house before the cops and then the 2nd was about some dude facing corruption charges at the time trying to interfere with the coroner's investigation.

I think Bryan said on the board it was the same number and he would have dumped him sooner if he figured out it was the same guy. He called back a third time and got dumped within a few seconds.

Any idea around what time? I just skipped through for the Benoit calls and the only other thing I heard was a lot of talk about some lovely movie about a dog that has John Morrison trying to hit Starship Pain on the dog.

the Ryback/Wyatt match exceeded expectations and is better with the knowledge that Ryback worked it after Wyatt jumped right on top of one of his ribs. nothing exists in a vacuum! So I am with Bryan on that one.

better match than the I Quit for sure

The third time was really short, the guy called back to try and "school" Bryan by namedropping a journalist and asking if Bryan was calling him a liar. Bryan cut him off immediately, pointed out that the journalist's accusations against the guy were on a matter COMPLETELY unrelated in every way to the Benoit investigation, and hammered home again the point that Benoit killed his family and as lovely as that fact is, it IS a fact.

The problem with the Benoit caller is I didn't recognize his voice until the last time he called. Otherwise he'd have been outta there much earlier. I thought it was three different people until he called the final time.
