rovert posted:81sidewinder and myself had the same experience. drat! Les coming hard in that article. The thread for the show is burying Dave as well. I appreciate Dave's knowledge base, for sure. I also respect that when something like Cole getting title changes and building sizes wrong, we have someone who can give us the facts. I just really didn't need 10 minute tangents on them when I wanted to hear Dave and Mike review the show. When Mike is rushing Dave along to end a show, you know it's bad.

I imagine it'd be way more annoying for someone who knows all that stuff, though.

yeah dave talking about the history of the hawaii territory is interesting as heck and i don't get why getting that sort of insight is "sperg" even if it's a tangent on about a wwe angle that'll be forgotten about next week. plus dave/mike shows are almost the best (they are the best when they get filthy tom on sin limite)

I imagine it'd be way more annoying for someone who knows all that stuff, though. I don't know it, either, so it's not fatigue from hearing things I already know. If Dave wanted to organize his thoughts about revisionist history with WWE and title changes in Japan and write about it in the newsletter, I would read it twice. It's not that the tangents are not giving us information, its that they don't really fit the subject of the podcast, which was meant to be a review of Beast in the East. Cole was nearly unanimously praised for being substantially better than he is on an average WWE Raw. Dave decided to respond to this with long tangents on factual details Cole got wrong. I didn't care for it, but your mileage may vary. NotQuiteQuentin posted:yeah dave talking about the history of the hawaii territory is interesting as heck and i don't get why getting that sort of insight is "sperg" even if it's a tangent on about a wwe angle that'll be forgotten about next week. Again, if Dave wanted to organize his thoughts on the history of wrestling in Hawaii and put it in the newsletter, I would eat that poo poo up. In the context of the podcast, Dave started talking about it after Mike mentioned the stupid pictures of Kane they had on WWE.com.

It was a pretty big one. I really, really wanted Dave's analysis of the show itself, honestly, and that's why the long tangents annoyed me.

The best Dave tangent will always be when he spent half of an MMA article on that one site he used to contribute articles to discussing the history of Montreal wrestling.

It did irritate me the other day when Craig brought up what a neat little added wrinkle it was that Owens attacking Cesaro meant that not only did Cesaro not win the title, but Cena LOST the match anyway. Bryan (and to a lesser extent Vinny) then mocked him endlessly because the "reason" he did it was to prevent Cesaro winning the title, and he said as much in a promo afterwards. Craig kept trying to say,"Yes I know that, I'm not disputing that, I'm just saying that it had the added bonus for Owens of giving Cena a loss too" but Bryan just talked all over him laughing at how stupid he was not to get what Owens had done.

Aside from him saying dumb bad things I don't think he even provides that much analysis. It seems like he just kinda cuts in every few minutes to put in his two cents and nothing else. Please tell us instead of just being contrarian.

I don't give a poo poo about Craig but "he makes statements that don't share my tumblr-left views on the world and identity politics" is a lame as gently caress reason to whine about his wrestling coverage I don't really like Bryan either, pretty much only Dave and Tom Lawlor are the only two dudes on the site I like

Are you really that put out by not being able to call people faggots and trannies or something anymore? Okay let's stop this derail before it starts (even though I agree with you). I just wanted him to take the two seconds to turn his statement into an actual statement about wrestling podcasts. What is Boba Fett even doing in that picture, anyway?
