Would you be my new best friends?

Rovert I gotta say you really poorly worded your post and it's understandable why people took it the way they did.

The conversation/back and forth was mostly civil and people largely weren't making kneejerk reactions, and were explaining clearly why they thought you were wrong even if you say they took the wrong read from what you posted. So maybe try being clearer when you post stuff like that, and just because people are disagreeing with you doesn't mean they're attacking you.

And now that this subject is over:

It has largely been disappointing, last year's batch was all really good from memory and I was hoping for more of that quality.

Last year's were great and most of the last batch were okay, but goodness...Noel absolutely threw his money away. I'd have forgotten about him entirety if it weren't for his constant fumbling with the mic. He chose the episode to be on and didn't contribute a thing whenever they threw to him.

By the end of it, I deleted it and wondering why he even bothered.

Was Noel the guy who was at the Nitro they reviewed with Goldberg/Big Bubba Rogers, because that I remember being a nothing episode from the special guest despite there being every reason for it to be big contributions.

I have listened to about two hours of the most recent Between the Sheets podcast. I previously hadn't tried it because of the length of each episode. I'm actually enjoying it so far; it's an interesting way to look back to wrestling' history and recap what was going on.

I don't particularly think so. "Whatever having yourself" indicates others are entitled to their POV and that I wasn't so certain.

" just because people are disagreeing with you doesn't mean they're attacking you. "

I never said this. People were attacking me when they were making ad hominem attacks or suggesting I was too dumb to get Dave's stance on the issue(s) when I showed prior evidence that I did. That is somewhat kneejerk. People should think or give me the benefit of the doubt rather than creating the person they'd like to argue with.

There's a number of people that pointed out what it was about your wording that wasn't clear. Heck, you posited it was an about-face or reaction to the lack of traction the story was getting, then it seems you only meant it was a change in tone, then said you weren't calling it an exception. If it's not an exception to his behavior to this point, what about it is an about-face or change at all? It's not beyond you to play coy or imply instead of outright saying something, so it's not like it's beyond comprehension for people to take what you apparently just meant as "maybe he's changing his tone based on new information, I dunno" as you making an assertion.


On a related note, I so very badly want to hear Bryan talk about Jinder gosh dang Mahal getting a title shot.

The best guest host this run was the first or second one who was like 6'8" proving that once again, bigger is better in wrestling. :colbert:

I agree though, these ones were like..they were all just kind of there. Which may be better than being offensively bad? I guess if they were hideous we'd at least have something to talk about like "Remember that fucker?"

Craig is very rarely funny for the amount of time he interrupts people. Also add to that the underlying tones of racism and I think also sexism, sorry yes I agree kick Craig off the show.

#1 was the one/two punch of Dave's line about how he's got only one word for Jon Jones, Bryan not getting it and Dave getting to go "do I gotta spell it out for you?"

Jon Jones got popped for dick pills. SAWFT

And goddamn I just looked at the board and the guy is considering making a top 100 for 2017.

The real #1 was Rufus vs. Polazzio, imo, which used to be on youtube but I can't find now.

There was an issue early. Lawler, used to calling Jim Ross “J.R.,” started calling Ranallo “M.R.,” likely an inside rib since decades earlier, when Lawler and McMahon were growing up, the term “M.R.” was considered one of the worst playground slurs, similar to gay slurs in their generation, as it was short for “mental retard.” Of course few would know that since the term went away probably by the 70s. But after a few weeks, it was dropped.
