Dave talking about Plus-sized models being 'in' right now was outstanding

He's not wrong about that. The funny part is, they pretty much consider a plus sized model to be any girl over 105 pounds regardless of height. Maybe they mean tall.

It was a bizarre rant, even by Dave standards.

i thought it was completely reasonable, imagine if someone made "he's really good looking!" body-positive comments about like, 1993 Vader or some poo poo

Sorry. I meant there are a lot of things you can complain about with regards to Nia Jax, them calling her a plus size model (whether it's true or not) seems like a weird thing to call them out on.

If this were 1996 I could see it, but the way they run the company now it makes sense that they would talk her up for her work outside of WWE because they're obsessed with that.

They didn't call her a plus sized model nor is complaining about that. He's complaining about them complementing the looks of someone they're pushing as a brutal monster.

Wrestling expert and reporter, Bryan Alvarez, doesn't know Rich Swann has been signed to WWE for a year or listen to the commentary talking about him being the only NXT signed wrestler in the tournament.

What are the chances of Jack Gallagher being signed, because he's now my favourite wrestler in the world

He has a look that's almost, but not quite, exactly what Vince doesn't want in a wrestler, though

A very high. The first week everyone was over in Orlando Jack personally got really high marks.

Again they are looking to sign 12-18 people from this.

Also Meltzer said in the Observer that WWE is are open to using Zack Sabre Jr on a freelance basis. So I wouldn't rule out anything or anyone.

I'd assume ZSJ would be used in NXT, then? I can't see anyone being used regularly on Raw without an exclusive deal, but I could see him doing a taping and a Takeover for NXT on the same sort of deal Rhyno had.

He was much more impressive to me than ZSJ was, granted my experience with both men is limited. But ZSJ had an amazing ability not to sell anything or look under any threat at all, as well as having a weird sense of awkwardness about him. Gallagher just looked like he could show up on NXT tomorrow (As did his opponent actually, though I've shamefully forgotten his name).

It's a McGregor quote. No idea what he means by it, though.

Glad they're heaping praise on Okada/Ishii, because that's probably the best match I've seen since Wrestle Kingdom. Good stuff.

Dave was quoting the awesome post-fight interview with the Swedish dude last night. It's literally just him live tweeting watching a fight night so I have no idea why rovert posted it.

Ahhh. The Swedes are my people's natural enemy, so I tuned it out. (Just watched it now, and yeah, I'd forgotten he was on McGregor's team on TUF. He even did the laugh after quoting him, but it wasn't enough to get the bonus :()

Sometimes WOL is worth listening to. Bryan mentioned that 2007 RAWs have been uploaded to the network, but that the Chris Benoit tribute episode was replaced by a compilation episode.

During the next segment he read a text from someone with the explanation that "it was thrown together by someone in back."
