I'm not asserting that, just saying it was a weird place to go. It's jarring to read about Jorpy on the toilet and it not being C-SPAM

Yes, we have feathers--but the muscles of men.
Bryan is in a rare state of ignorance where his level of expertise is so hyper-focused that him quoting bad people or people bad at being people is easily forgiven because it’s very obvious he doesn’t know any better.

his expertise is, of course, chasing after his own opinions on wrestling

He's talking about how good the Bret documentary is, then just drops in something like "even University Of Toronto professor Jordan Peterson says it's the best documentary about anything ever", apropos of nothing.

So THAT's why he keeps showing up in my Youtube recommendations.

But on a sad note, a lot of wrestlers read the first couple of books Peterson put out and think he's an authority on... pretty much any subject. This is why carnies still make a living.

Ratings will be out around 4:30 today, I'd bet on him getting AEW quarters in the Observer next week but maybe they'll get them to him by press time?

For the first few weeks, we will release a Friday night WOR with Dave and Bryan. If the show remains long-term, Dave will be joined by either Bryan, Garrett Gonzales, Jim Valley or Mike Sempervive depending on availability.

He's usually good on the Adam and Mike Big Audio Nightmare too. He's been better on WOL the last few months but he still has a tendency to overtalk a point and talk faster/more hurried as he runs out of breath or tries to acknowledge potential counter-arguments before they can be raised, often losing his point in the process.

Maybe the particular structure of the show with the ad breaks throw him off even after all this time, or it could just be that his humor/style and Bryan's seem to clash a fair bit.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
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.

There's definitely something about doing live radio which changes people. If you compare the Dave Meltzer of Eyada WOL to the Dave Meltzer of WOR it's like totally different people.

God, Eyada Meltzer is loving nuts in how different he feels. He's so lively and playful, and lil' Bryan Alvarez in the background occasionally chiming in is adorable.

Sempervive and Bryan getting the giggles when that happened was the best.

Jim Valley is living an incredible life. Travels the world, hangs out with Fumi Saito, goes to amusement parks on a whim, gets to do commentary on Joshi shows. Dude owns.

I don't think he ever explained why thought UFC 100 legit did 1.6 million buys once the real number came out a few years ago, either.
