Seams posted:i second this. a really good episode. The weird thing is I feel like before I bought it I read a vague bio about how he was a real journalist or researcher or something and now I can't find that. I also didn't look very hard the second time, but there's not a lot out there for such a fake sounding name.

I haven't listened to the B&V show yet but I THINK this is also the RAW where Big Boss Man interrupts the bell salute for Big Show's dad and reads out his hilariously tasteless poem.

Nitro had Fifty Seven segments, one of which was the debut of Seven. It is the Worst Wrestling Show Ever.

Seams posted:i second this. a really good episode. Other than a repeated story near the end, I didn't think Guy self-editing was especially noticeable. It wasn't as polished as it could have been with a proper editor, but I'm so used to badly edited wrestling books that I don't think it really stood out. I mean...Bret Hart's book had Mike Von Erich dying twice, in two different ways. I have been wondering a bit about the "where did Guy come from?" thing. At first it seemed like he was some random friend of Neil Pruitt's, but that's clearly not the case. And there's no author bio in the book.

It's incredible how fast they flipped the switch from "Nitro actually wasn't that bad this week" to "worst wrestling show of all time." Russo truly is a miracle worker.

This is kinda how we were. The first like one and a half Russo Nitros were better than before because it felt different from the usual slop. Then when it stopped feeling different it had to stand on its own legs and welp.

After rewatching the old Nitros I really feel like the Febuary 1999 episode of Nitro where there was no wrestling in the first hour and practically the entire main event scene face/heel turned a the same time can be pinpointed as the exact point Nitro's writing jumped the rails, never to return.

Aesop Poprock posted:What the gently caress there's a reason, its a stupid one, but there is logic this was the go home show leading up to the most cursed PPV of all time, Souled Out 2000 if you recall this is the show where Benoit wrestles Sid for the title and quits originally the match was going to be Bret/Goldberg but Goldberg sliced his arm up in the window accident Bret hadn't wrestled since Decemmber because of concussions and would never get medical clearance to work in WCW again leading up to the show, with the ME out the window, they wanted to push for Bret vs Sid and then Sid vs Jarrett, Jarrett was going to wrestle Benoit in a triple threat theater gauntlet at Souled Out, so they had him wrestle it on Nitro instead, where Benoit interfered in all 3 matches to get the old timers the win. so in the sense that there is logic in that it was going to build a challenger/payoff an angle for PPV on Nitro because plans were changing. its also stupid because at the end fo the day you beat your world title challenger by 3 old men in one night, but this is WCW and had actual world champion Jarrett lose to Sting in 26 seconds once then Jarrett gets concussed by a Supafly Splash off the cage, then Russo tried to push for a battle royale to decide with the title with Tank Abbott winning and he got sent home, and it ends up being Sid vs Benoit (MRT correct me if I'm wrong on the sequence, because that entire ME situation and build was turbofucked) also along the way Kevin Sullivan gets put back as booker, someone on the productions taff pulls a knife on Benoit, and then we get to a game of watching 4 men avoid Shane Douglas for a week (incidentally they did keep the triple threat theater on the PPV itself, but with Billy Kidman wrestling the Revolution ins place of it. it's why Dean Malenko is in the infamous catch rules match)

I was looking up Bryan and Dave's rant about Crown Jewel to listen to it again for fun and found this guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g58NzRyqYWQ Angry weirdo rants about Dave for over ten minutes from the seat of his car. Compares Dave's Japanese fandom to black lives matter. It's pretty amazing. The comments are also something else. I didn't even know Meltzer had 100 haters in total and it looks like they're all in one place.
