To be fair to Sapp, it’s hard to tell whether someone with a normal human brain is being sarcastic or sincere on the internet, let alone someone with a weird Dave brain

To be done with all this measuring of proof.

And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

For a while there it was Bryan that was saying it hadn't gotten that bad because he could directly compare them via the Retro show it's funny that even now as Nitro reaches it's absolute worst, he's coming on board with saying that RAW is starting to get down to that level.

It's because every week now they're doing what WCW did at its worst - matches where they are gimmicks and the gimmicks don't make sense and the rules don't make sense. Its a classic of Russo, more than lovely gimmicks and lovely stories and lovely everything, its when matches are just gimmicks and the gimmicks detract from the match. They worked so hard to stop the new WCW they became the new WCW.

The fact the distance in time between that match and now is more than that match to Hogan and Savage v The Alliance to End Hulkamania Tower of Doom is mindblowing.

Bring back the Tower of Doom but with simpler rules. Guys start at the top, have to fight their way out to escape. I loved the way the structure looked and the move possibilities.

Which for some reason reminds me that the original (and maybe current) Observer in Dave's avatar is a fake issue they mocked up since they didn't have a decent jpeg of an actual Observer.

Felt like a ‘women, amirite’? tone to me. Really don’t care for Dave’s anecdotes about women in his personal life. I know everyone loves his banana story, but it’s just not for me.

When I was listening to Bryan and Vinny they still played songs and in a couple of those songs was drops of dave talking about jumping into a swimming pool from a balcony or something like that and how he knows how to lose and stay over.

Were these from a story anybody remembers?

i mean they were talking about how stupid and offensive the angle was, and how WWE only knows how to write women as bitchy and crazy because that's what's going on with Maria. they've talked about it for literal years. The only time they came close to agreeing with the conceit of the angle was Dave being lightly exasperated by his wife having pregnancy cravings

DangerDummy!

It's not something that happens with every pregnancy, but the weird food stuff and extreme mood swings can be a thing. My wife's second pregnancy was like that. One of my employees, during her second pregnancy, said she had a bizarre craving for Play-Doh. I didn't take any of it as Dave mocking women, bit whatever.

I think you might be reading into a bit considering they obviously hate the angle and the entire angle is "women, amirite?"

Maybe I am overthinking it. Dave doesn’t have the benefit of the doubt with me on talking about women, so maybe I’m being too critical. I took 4-5 months off after the Peyton thing, so maybe I’m just on alert for something that’s not there.

I do totally see where you're coming from and I'm giving a bit of an assumption that Dave's idiot mouth is messing him up. They obviously hate the angle because it's very "women am I right?" but they're consistently bad at explaining why they hate these angles without sounding like they're taking the same viewpoint as Vince/WWE. They're also dude Bros who've chilled with time so they do have some lovely opinions so it makes sense to expect them to say lovely stuff too.

what did they say that could possibly be interpreted as taking the same viewpoint as the WWE? They talked about it for like 45 seconds and buried the segment, and Bryan didn't think pregnancy cravings were real and Dave said they were. i feel like I listened to completely different audio

Dave was trying to say she wrestles different because of her new tits but accidentally called her fat instead. The actual audio has him doing the "I'm trying to be polite but everything I'm saying is coming out wrong" pauses and ums.

This of course gets picked up by the gotcha types and then WWE does a full court social media press against him with noted bootlicker Seth Rollins chiming in.
