"And I did it, because I was a man who had exhausted reason and thus turned to magicks"
For one moment this morning, I thought Dave was about to start explaining what fujoshi were when he started into the appeal of the Golden Lovers to the female Japanese audience.

It wouldn't shock me Dave would be able to explain Fujoshi better than most given Dave had an aside in an observer that had one of the best English breakdowns of Sazae-san ever

I have no idea who Sazae-san is, but I kinda want to hear Dave explain it. You know when he talked about that?

Sazae-san is the longest-running anime ever, been running since 1969 and is at around 8,000 8-minute episodes. Been going so long that for many of the first episodes there aren't any copies because the cassettes had been re-used, so if Dave has been since then, he probably has some rare Sazae-san VHS stored alongside his copy of the Magee-Hart match.

I forget the issue but it was fall of 2018 and he was talking about ratings and Japanese TV IIRC which is why he want on Sazae-san tangent

if Dave got some of his 90's/80's All Japan and New Japan tapes from Japanese grocery stores he's probably sitting on a treasure trove of commercials and content that may be lost not just on the wrestling side (Probably the same for some of the older territory stuff if they still had commercials)

Jericho was on Jim Norton & Sam Roberts' show yesterday and said he called WWE to see if he could get some people on his podcast in the lead-up to Mania. Response: "We don't think it's appropriate now that you've signed with AEW"

Is the Bryan match from All Pro Wrestling available anywhere? I looked on APWs official channels but all I found was a spoiler for the finish.

The San Antonio Express-News ran a story about Shawn Michaels’ students and the TWA. Shooter Schultz and Kris Schultz, 25, of St.
Louis and American Dragon is Brian Danielson, 18, from Washington who was an honors student in college who quit to train under
Michaels. Danielson in the article bragged about the fact he had already suffered three concussions in three months in the ring.

Came upon an article on Meltzer in WRESTLING MANIACS Magazine from June 2000. Some pretty primo Meltzer pics, including him in a SUIT of all things.

I'm going to have to ask for a little lenience on this, someone started racking up unauthorized charges on my CC# today so I need to get a new card before I can buy a name change. I should probably have it by Tuesday next week.

I remember once someone sent in a question asking dave if his physique had anything to do with his success. Dave flat out said no.
