At this point it feels like Rovert is intentionally getting sixers so that he can go take a nap because his brain is too broken to just log off.

Also are there any good English fan podcasts about NJPW or the Japanese scene in general? I've been getting into Pacific Rim but I'm curious what else is out there.

Big Audio Nightmare is infrequent but usually covers a decent range of puro stuff. Sempervive is tolerable (and even good) when he's with anyone but Bryan for whatever reason.

Yeah Big Audio Nightmare is pretty good (if they don't go on a 25 minute derail about hockey) and the best use of Sempervive, but it also only comes out every few weeks (sometimes every few months).

The Super J Cast is pretty good, if a bit dry and prone to off-topic derails.

I remembered it being 30 but I looked up an Iron Man list and it claims it was an hour, so I may be conflating two different matches?

Hey I know he got probated for 3 days but this has always been the de facto observer thread as well, discussing dave and how he's fallen off or not as a scoops man has been in here for years. Sorry you don't like big Trev but it's his phrasing and attitude that gets him in trouble, not his content. Nice podcast you posted btw you little freak!

Yeah that is accurate. This thread is the best place to discuss the Observer (as well as other news sites like The Torch) for good or for bad, even if it is predominantly a podcast/audio thread.

To be fair I do like vague post scoops Rovert over the Rovert who wants everyone to give the nazi wrestlers a 2nd chance.

I think it's funny that Rov thinks "Scoops King" is some sort of real thing. And it's even funnier that for all the slagging he does on Dave, Rov's still the first to rush in and post any breaking news from Dave.

Bryan also was paying literally hundreds of dollars a month for years because he set up his WOL phone lines wrong, he’s not a smart man
How do I not know this story? Details please.

I have something I can add to this, BTW: At one point, not long before WOL went to the every weekday format, I was supposed to be getting a raise for doing the F4W newsletter. (Don't remember how much or if that was discussed.) But then the opportunity to do the weekday WOL format came up, which would require Bryan getting a new Tieline codec box (Semp would get his old one) that supported at least 3 lines (Semp, Bryan, and Sports Byline). Being that it's not as if they get paid much of anything (if anything) for the show and it's not like there's actually much of an audience, I expressed concern that it was a worthwhile investment. Whoever I was talking to, I forget if it was Bryan or Tony, then explained that their timeslot was going to be 5:00 p.m. Eastern/2:00 p.m. Pacific. At that point I figured that even if I questioned the likelihood of this being worth it to them, I did agree that being in afternoon drive time on the east coast was at least an interesting opportunity since at least there are actually people listening to radio at that hour, so I figured, OK, I get why they're trying this.

Then they got a 3:00 p.m. ET time slot and nobody would explain to me what happened and why they felt it was worth investing the money in the new equipment instead.

I'm a little fuzzy on the details but from memory, Bryan set up the phonelines with one of them on some kind of low cost plan, assumed that applied to all of them and people were just randomly calling any one of the numbers he gave out, I think it might have involved international callers on the tollfree line as well? Something like that anyway. It was basically a thing where he just assumed the large phonebills he had for years were standard and then found out he should have been paying a significantly smaller amount per month.

Guessing he kept and was giving out the 800 number long past the point it was needed for anyone in the U.S. and Canada?
