Breaking news audio is up for Lance Russell. It's very :smith: but it's great.

Yeah, really good show for sad reasons. Dave's probably told it many times before but I had no idea Lance used to run Observer's hotline business/record the voice menus each day etc.

Bix if you're reading this I really appreciate your writeup of Lance Russell in Deadspin.
Thanks. Writing it helped me and it seems like a lot of people have gotten something out of it.

Kris Zellner, Beau James, and I recorded a podcast about Lance that we recorded Tuesday night and put it up Wednesday: https://soundcloud.com/btspod/exile-on-badstreet-43-yello-everybody-lance-russell-tribute-with-david-bixenspan-beau-james

Beau's a dingus but when it comes to the TN/WV wrestling histories he's 2nd only to Ron Fuller. PLus he's gonna die within the next 2 years so its not like he gives a single poo poo about who he offends.

I tried to put aside the fact he's an egotistical, unlikable fat little violent troll who claims he shoots on random people and listen to his podcast and it was still unlistenable. He's probably the only person who could talk about Lance Russell and make it uncharming.

Edit: Beau James looks and wrestles worse than he sounds, hell he may be a worse wrestler than a person but I love to watch that man's horrible wrestling. I miss SSW.

Goddamn. I've barely scratched the surface on Meltzer's Russell obituary, but it shows why only Dave can do what Dave does.

Was mentioned in the Observer Lance obituary.

quote:

“I cried all morning Tuesday, then cried trying to tape the podcast,” said Jim Cornette, “then just sat on the couch the rest of the day. I don’t remember anybody who has broken me up as much as this one, maybe just because Lance was the nicest man in the world.”

Regardless of what you think of Jim these days I know he isn't alone in feeling like this.

Meltzer writing that Lance actually had dementia really upset me for whatever reason. I wrote off his latter-day fogginess in media interviews to just being 90 years old or so.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.

You'll hit your head and say: 'Boy, how stupid could I have been. A moron could've figured this out. I must be a real dimwit. A pathetic nimnal. A wretched idiotic excuse for a human being for not having figured these simple puzzles out in the first place...As usual, you've been a real pantload!
Hearing Cornette tear up and be practically blubbering he's so emotional about it is pretty rough to listen to, but it's up on YouTube now.

Cornette and Santino got into a scuffle today:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpTfNZunxRM

Someone posted this:

quote:

Account of it that I heard, "Santinio goes up to him in the hallway and offers to shake his hand. Cornette shakes his hand. Then Santino tells Cornette to apologize to him. Cornette tells him to gently caress off. Santino blocks his way and Cornette starts freaking out. Then Cobo hall security runs in and a riot nearly starts."
