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!

Big scoop from Bryan on the latest WOR. HHH is probably not going to be fighting in AEW.

Edit: Also Dave trying to convince Bryan to go on the Jericho Cruise :3:

Dave on Japan: "Best week of my life. Loved everything about it. Had a great time with my son. I guess I could go again if the readers want me to."

Dave on Jericho Cruise "We have to go, we'll get interviews with everyone on the boat!"

It cracks me up that each week the Becky segments generate page after page of argument here but on WOR they're consistently like "yeah, pretty good" and then they move on. It's like the only thing they don't have strong opinions on.

Wrestling fans are super negative so they focus on the content people want like Braun Strowman being buried in a glacier.

It’s the same reason he doesn’t ever say anything negative about AEW: people who are interested in it are the same people who subscribe.

Or maybe there's not much negative to say about the company that's not run a show yet?

I prefer the "Dave goes soft on them because he's friends with them" conspiracy than "he doesn't want to offend his subscribers" conspiracy, though both are dumb. They've said the right things, signed guys that Dave likes, dunno what they have done he's meant to poo poo on about aside from the general questions about sustainability in the long run. Which he's brought up.

A pod I'm super close to dropping, Store Horsemen, has extended fights about Becky Lynch because one dude (who is a giant misogynist, gently caress you Tony Hinchcliffe) goes on constant derails talking about how poo poo she is. I don't get why people can't give it a couple minutes (if that) and then move on to something else.

I mean he’s probably correct in his overall point, that portraying Owens as a regular guy who isn’t very athletic likely won’t do him any favors. But the bowling thing was very funny.

My little brother used to get real mad when he wasn't winning so when he would throw shoot gutter balls he would get all flustered and start intentionally working them, but he would stay mad, so I half feel he was trying to shoot do better. Always working himself into a shoot but don't know it a work when you work a work and work yourself into a shoot, marks.

This is good. Real good. I was laughing at the carny, and then laughed even more when I figured out it was all a work.

On a related note: Seth Rollins actually talks like this. He's on the E&C Podcast from last week, and he's describing his Ring of Honor tenure and he says something like, "I was making pretty good money over there, and didn't have to work a shoot job." Christian immediately laughs and talks over him to mention that he said that, but Rollins fails to notice because he's too busy talking about how his matches were being review on the "sheets."

I’ve only been exposed to Tony Hinchcliffe on Rogans podcast and the dude comes off like he barely knows anything about wrestling but he likes to think he’s a genius, he’s said a ton of outright wrong things about surface level history and business info. I feel like listening to him on an actual wrestling podcast would be annoying as heck

I want to say that he was afraid that if he changed his email, some of his long time contacts wouldn't know how to get a hold of him. I may have completed made this up though.

I'll reverse into a spot if I know it's not gonna hold anyone up for even, like, one second. Because I know how angry I get when I lose that one second to some gently caress head that just has to reverse into their loving spot.

Owens picks up the phone and Dave's somehow already on the line, mid-sentence explaining the problems with his form. Owens hangs up and turns on the tv to watch the news, the anchor is shoved out of the way by Dave who continues what he was saying.

reversing into a spot is easier and makes it safer on the way back out. it is the Correct Way to park

E: people skip the Sunday B&V and they shouldn’t, there’s always something amazing for Bryan to bury. Sometimes it’s a terrible jobber, sometimes (like this week) it’s people loving up their promos
