I know Bryan is a Gen X'er but that he doesn't remember the New Brood vs Edge and Christian series in the TIT leads to the ladder match that gets a standing ovation for both teams and kicked off that entire period leading to the tables match with the Dudleyz at the Rumble where Jeff dives off the stage, the triangle ladder match and in turn the TLCs is a really odd thing to forget. Craig remembers and tries to point it out and Bryan has like no recollection or response to what hes referring to.
Craig is largely bad but he’s often way better than the other two for context and history. He should do more of that rather than “let me write that down” and *annoying suppressed laugh noise when someone makes a double entendre*

nah you see he's a Good Christian Boy and that's why he can't cuss or laugh at sex jokes (but being racist and sexist is still acceptable)

other poo poo that should be brought up

in an order to homogenize and improve THE BRAND, UFC cut a deal with Reebok to provide fight kits for the fighters, which basically forced all the fighters and their personnel to lose their sponsorships because they couldn't appear on the Reebok provided gear. They were somewgay compensated for the change but it lost a lot of money. The uniforms that Reebok provided originally only came in black and white, had fighter's name misspelled, and looked like poo poo. This caused the fighters to grow resentful. (They even extended the no-sponsorship issue as far as the goddamned cutmen. Dana ended up blackballing one of the original UFC cutmen because he got mad that he lost money on the Reebok deal and spoke out about it.)

Titles, interim titles, and the such. In order to sell more PPVs, UFC tries to stick at least 1 title match to main event a PPV card. Because UFC fighter have to recover, sometimes the talent just isnt there to set up a championship fight. So UFC instead makes interim titles which are like real titles but they mean you might get an actual world title shot unless UFC doesnt randomly strip you of the title.

A perfect example of this was when UFC put an interim welterweight title match on UFC 225 to determine a challenger for Tyrone Woodley (who hadn't fought for a year). Covington won the shot, but had surgery in the down period that would have kept him out until November. UFC wanted Woodley to fight before November, so they booked another challenger instead. And then stripped Covington because ????.

Also I really dont want to touch how Conor basically hosed over 2 weight classes because he was their class champion, but stopped doing fights with actual contenders and in the UFC, so the contender backlog ate itself alive and the divisions look like poo poo.

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!
A great example of Bischoff bullshit is on this week's episode of 83 Weeks. Conrad brings up the Piper/Nash backstage 'fight' and Bischoff claims nothing happened and uses it as an excuse to poo poo on Meltzer and claims that it's the only version of the story. Conrad doesn't say poo poo about this which would be ok, except that this just came up a few years ago with Nash and Piper having a Twitter feud shortly before Piper's death. Piper, Nash, Waltman; pretty much everyone except Bischoff claims there was an altercation but of course Bischoff doesn't mention that and Conrad moves on.

I do enjoy the shows because when he isn't trying to bury Dave or not admit to common knowledge, he does have a pretty good memory for how things ran and he does have a lot of interesting anecdotes from how things were running backstage or the general direction. The Conrad calling him out on poo poo schtick has somewhat gone away and it's kind of ok because most of the time the show is Conrad running through a series of events and Bischoff talking about the production and logistics of it which the show is better for. I think in retrospect the strongest shows have been the Jericho and Sting ones.

Yeah, he seemed real close to it. I wish he had. Crown Jewel feels like the normalization is setting in and people now just accept that WWE does propoganda for rich Saudi princes.

His position is not that it was worse before, therefore it's not that bad now. It's that we've progressed as a culture to the point that this is now frowned upon and that's a good thing.

So how about the baseball fights that happen many times per season, or as he said hockey fights that happen daily.

Those aren't nearly as cool as what Khabib did but what can you do.

Khabib beat up Conor(the greatest fighter not Floyd Mayweather) and still had more energy to immediately fight multiple opponents. This makes him the greatest fighter that's not Floyd Mayweather.

It's great because Bryan used to almost beg Dave to keep talking while looking, but Dave would adamantly refuse and eventually Bryan just gave up and just sits there seething. Then after all that he'll say something like,"Well we're out of time, so until nex-" and Dave will cut him off with,"Wait wait we have to talk about <x>" :allears:
