And "left to pursue new ventures" is a funny way of putting "quit so they couldn't fire me for my gross incompetence and borderline criminal behaviour".

His behavior was known to management and one of the reasons they hired him in the first place, he didn't quit to avoid being fired, it was the only thing to be done to protect the company.

Only thing "negative" I've heard Dave say about Manami Toyota was she wasn't as good of a worker as Akira Hokuto and relied more on athleticism. Considering they both have numerous 5 star matches on the Big Dave scale, whatevs.

Really enjoyed Sasha's interview with Jericho. She's the best spokesperson for the division.

What Paige's appearance on the Steve Austin Podcast should have been.

Paige's appearance on Austin's Podcast was incredible and I wouldn't change it for anything, but Sasha's interview with Jericho was really drat good in a very different way.

Her story about how she found out that Eddie had died was pretty heartbreaking though :smith:

Sasha's Eddie story :smith:

Her fav wrestler is Eddie, and he was in the first match she ever saw. She won front row tickets to a Minnesota show, and made an "I Love Eddie" sign the day of the show. When she saw all the "RIP Eddie" signs she thought the crowd just hated him, and then someone finally told her he died the previous morning

Setter is Better.

quote:

2. Los Villanos III & IV & V beat The Psycho Circus in 11:06. Before the match they honored Tropicasas as this was to be his final match as referee. It would have been a billion times better if he ran in as a the face ref at the end of the Alberto match. Striker compared Tropicasas to Terry Funk. I think the only thing the two have in common is they each wear handbands and both have been around wrestling for 50 plus years. Marisela Pena, the owner of AAA, was almost in tears when Tropicasas came out. I believe he is the only person left from the first AAA show ever in 1992. Konnan and Mysterio were there from the start, but they both left after a few years and then came back whereas Tropicasas was always there. They did a photo feature on the screen of Los Villanos, including showing their father, Ray Mendoza, one of the biggest stars in Lucha Libre history. Los Villanos came out wearing their masks even though two of them had lost the masks. They made a deal with the commission that for the final match they could wear their masks from their heyday as long as they unmasked in the ring after the match. The Circus had the most elaborate ring entrance with circus performers around the ring including unicycle riders. Crowd was hot for both teams at the start, although you’d never know it from television. Villano V was terribly overweight. This was a terrible match with no heat. Villano III had a stroke several months back and couldn’t do anything. The crowd was forgiving, because it was Villano III’s last match and he is a legend. At one point, Villano III tagged in, and apparently suffered a dizzy spell and fell down. This wasn’t a sell. They started doing weapons spots. They kept pushing how the Alvarado family and Mendozas were one of the biggest feuds in Mexico. Psycho Clown, who I believe is the only clown who is a member of the Alvarado family, used a diving head-butt on Villano III, but refused to pin him on two different occasions, with the idea he respected him too much to beat him in his last match. The live crowd had no idea what he was doing. They didn’t understand the story. Villano IV then used a low blow to pin one of the Clowns. The post-match was touching with the clowns hugging Tropicasas. Villano III and V unmasked. The ring filled with members of the Villano family including younger kids with Villano masks on. Joaquin Roldan (Marisela Pena’s husband who plays the face authority figure) thanked Villano. Tropicasas was in tears when he left the ring. The idea behind this was to build a Villano V vs. Psycho Clown mask vs. mask match, although that didn’t come across at all on PPV. I was scared that if they unmasked Villano V it would be Psycho’s father under the mask (Porky). The Psycho Circus led Villanos chants when it was over. The post-match was good, but as for the match, -*****

I can't remember the exact position, but he was brought in as a consultant or producer just before the news broke about it being on US PPV.

I think given the timing it was largely assumed that he was in charge of the US PPV production or had a large role in it.
