I am like already bummed and they haven't even recorded a new show yet. Vinny's reactions to dumb poo poo is kind of why I listened a lot of the time.

He does this every couple of years, and the same thing happens. It's kind of hilarious, because this sort of misreading what the audience wants is what he bitches about WWE doing.

Did Bryan even hint that he was going to put something in its place when he announced it or did he just say "we're dropping this because it's useless" again?

No, he just said he was going to swap it for retro Raw and do "ROH and indie stuff" on Sunday despite literally complaining on Friday that ROH has no angles to talk about and the review taking 5 minutes.

Are they just going to start from the beginning of RAW? Because those 45-minute RAW episodes might not be that rich for material.

Every time I see Goatse, I think of Maureen. That's the last thing I saw. Before I blacked out. The sight of that man's anus.

I generally don't listen to WOR because I find Dave boring. I'll listen to it if there's an interesting story or something but I counted on B&V for my Raw recap. This is awful news.

This is probably the biggest reason I'm against it for now. Tuesday will still be good I think, Thursday will probably be okay, but the Sunday show is going to be pretty bleak.

Of course it was, but that's what makes it great B&V material. There's way more entertainment potential in the guys reviewing bad ECW, instead of struggling to find anything interesting to say about ROH or NJPW, promotions they clearly don't follow that closely.

Bryan and Dave are like water and oil.

'I WAS PRAYING THAT DEAN MALENKO WOULD REPLACE RANDY ORTON'
'um, that's not a good idea.'

'dean malenko has had some very serious health problems...that would not be a good idea'

This is another thing Bryan never considers. He cannot conceive of a subscriber who would listen to B&V and NOT the Dave shows.

Those old ECWs don't hold up well. I mean, they're not as bad as current Raw (because they're not three hours), but they're not good.

I find B&V to be kinda trash. I seriously find Craig, Vinny and honestly Bryan half the time to be insufferable. Half the reason I subscribe is WOR, so no skin off my back.
I get why people find Dave boring, but he always has a great story, or illuminates me to something I wasn't aware of. B&V is two-three 40 year olds yelling.

Timestamps on those shows would help greatly. I no longer have the patience to sit through half an hour of ummmmm yeahhhhh to maybe get to one good story. At this point I mostly wait for someone here to say there's something good on a show before I listen to it.

After like 10 pages of "this is a bad idea" "no she's not" on the board Bryan says Vinny suggested doing Raw and NXT on Thursday so that's probably how he'll get out of this.

I remember seeing Barely Legal for the first time in like 10 years and being sad that all these matches are terrible in today's eyes.

Some of the Eastern Championship stuff is still fun because it gives a good idea of what an indie looked like in the 90s

I guess Konnan threw his poop in the air when MSL came back which is why he hasn't been on MLW shows lately. The MLW Twitter says he's "busy with other projects" while Konnan's telling people asking what he's doing "you wanted him you got him." I love wrestling drama.

its pretty amusing that for all of Konnan's poo poo talking, he is, in fact, a bitch. Tho the clusterfuck that is the VIP lounge is a lot better because there's zero chance Disco Inferno shows up.

I can't stand granny shows, they turned me off from listening to B&V entirely for a while. Just so goddamn boring.

On another note Tom's front page article is completely incomprehensible. I got to the last 2 paragraphs and all I could think was, "what?"

So Filthy Tom is out of his next fight. He claims it was a blow to the eye. Dave knows the truth.

Never should have had that chicken finger, Tom!
