I definitely blame it for lack of drops.

Yeah this really bugs me too. Also God yes his nephew's music is so painfully generic but Bryan's (understandably) so proud of it.

Are you sure I'm winning the Rumble? That does'nt seem right.....
Rob or Bryan does a poor comedy job, by Rob having dignity and Bryan is too harsh. Rather than him being an oafish figure who Bryan can humorously blame for things going wrong, Bryan is just an rear end in a top hat.

I don't miss the songs and drops too much, but sometimes just listening to them futz about video for 2 minutes isn't very exciting.

In the category of Bryan using wrestling terms to apply to real life situations, on Filthy Four Daily he called the end of the Kentucky Derby a "Dusty Finish"

Remember the time Bryan confidently explained what a downside guarantee is and then not long after had to do a show with Lance Storm who had phoned him to tell him he was an idiot who'd gotten the entire thing wrong? :allears:

It was back in November of 2015 when there was a story about Del Rio having some ridiculously huge downside guarantee. Bryan thought the downside guarantee meant you got given that much money regardless of anything else and then they added all the merch sales/PPV bonuses etc on top of it as well - so if you were guaranteed a million and you did a million and 1 dollars in merch sales, he thought that meant you got 2 million and 1 dollars.

Lance then explained that it was basically the amount you were guaranteed to get whether you earned that much in the year, with WWE making up the difference if you didn't earn as much as your downside, and paying you more if you earned better. He also laid out the way different wrestlers made use of that, like some insisting on only getting their downside guarantee each month regardless of how much they earned and then getting the difference made up at the end of the year (provided they had earned more) in a lump sum.

Hopefully I got that right!

pretty fucking embarrassing to watch
That’s actually a sensible way of doing it; means that you’re not living a lifestyle based on the number above that and then struggling if something changes in the future and you’re back on your downside. The better way of managing it would be to take it all and then move the money above the downside into some kind of savings account so you get interest on it but in the current situation where you have low interest rates and if you don’t want to risk investing it you might not think that it’s worth trying to manage it yourself.

Holy crap watching it now, in the McGee match Bret actually hits the second rope elbow!!!! The more traditional version he always misses where he land on his back. It looks a little awkward too, like he didnt expect to. I can see them seeing the future in Mcgee after this though. Crowd was hot. Also that highlight reel they put together for him made him look really great.

Yeah, I think Bret said something about how he had to tell McGee to move (which is why he pauses on the turnbuckle), McGee nodded his head, and then Bret did the elbow and McGee didn't move out of the way.

Listening to the most recent Cornette Drive Thru show, and his reactions to Lars Sullivan's chud idiocy have been hilarious.

Brian Last [after reading several of Lars' racist posts]: How on earth does anyone work with this rear end in a top hat again after this?

Cornette: Stiffly, I'd imagine.

And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
The Bryan & Vinny & Craig Show is back today with tons to talk about in our look at Raw and Nitro from 19 years ago this week. On WCW, believe it or not, Ric Flair is the World Heavyweight Champion again, and on Raw the Rock, believe it or not, is in the middle of the worst title reign in years. These shows driving me nuts.

DIRECTIVE 236: Promote pro-social values
Kevin Nash gets a lot of credit for being a cancer on WCW because he was great at it, but Sting was low key very good at the grift as well.

Not wrestling for all of 1997 and showing up to the biggest match in WCW history pale and out of shape. Continually loving off to film movies during 98-99. Never wrestling on house shows. Getting his new contract to say he doesn't have to be on Thunder. Frequently suggesting to go back to the Crow rappelling gimmick so he could get paid to do nothing. Just deciding to end matches early on television because he's bored.

People talk about Sting and Nash but they had to literally lift a finger ever for their WCW money, and thus pale in comparison to the Genius Grifter, Lanny Poffo.

going by previous ones, it'll mostly be bawdy stories of the wrestler's youth. There will be at least one borderline nonconsensual sex story.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
Dave is looking very Dennis Quaid, I'm worried he is going to be mildly annoying to a young couple in a Sonoma mansion.
