Dave obviously being fed something from a source, often doesn’t overtly admit it, and tries to rationalize it because he doesn’t want to poo poo on his friends. 2. Bryan (correctly) shits on it for being bad. 3. Dave eventually admits its bad There is literally nothing on tv that says Seth is 1997 Brett Hart, but Dave continues to bring it up over the last few weeks. Has to be info from Heyman, right? Also, I’m warming to MRT’s theory that Dave and HHH are communicating more - the Oney Lorcan thing was extremely pro-HHH for not getting bitter that a guy called him out on social.

Karl Stern's shows have been hit and miss lately but his most recent one where he decided to do a watchalong of an old pre-Hogan WCW show and just ends up doing a MST3K bit was a joy to listen to, especially the Flair/Rude segment.

mkay0 posted:This is my absolute favorite aspect of Bryan and Dave In the very least Dave got his info on Moxley leaving WWE straight from Hunter and I'm sure they talk regularly. Which is fine, he regularly buries the Performance Center so I don't really think it affects his bias, and Lorcan did want to re-sign so I'm ok with him being pro HHH there. He's always had a really funny critical relationship HHH, in that he will praise and bury things about HHH on a regular basis.

MassRafTer posted:Bryan bothering to tell Dave he needed to step away for 30 seconds instead of just letting Dave ramble was pretty funny. The best part was that this actually stopped the San Jose Steamroller dead in its tracks. Dave will normally plow through someone interrupting him and continue, but Bryan needing to step away made Dave come to a halt. It was like his fatherly instincts kicked in and he was really concerned if the baby was ok.

But yeah. While there are times we may lean into guessing a given item's sourcing too much, Heyman and Eddie Gilbert-related stuff is NOT over-analyzing that poo poo. The Continental stuff in particular is hilarious: Under the old guard of bookers and (and until late '87, Ron Fuller as promoter, as well) it was an unusually un-leaky territory. Ron just didn't want people knowing his business, his wrestlers respected that, and he even made a point of avoiding the kayfabed magazines. It was so bad that Dave would get stuff *that aired on TV* completely wrong, even though he didn't just have to rely on Alabama or east Tennessee sources for that: Continental was a staple of Joe Pedicino's wrestling block in Atlanta and also aired in the Twin Cities, among some other major out-of-the territory markets. As a result of all this, there was barely a Continental section...until Eddie and Paul come in as booker and assistant booker. Then, when they're gone, it goes back to the old status quo. Oh, and a week after Eddie and Paul quit/were fired/whatever the hell happened, they were at the UAWF convention (put on by the Wrestling Forum newsletter) in Memphis, where they socialized with all of the newsletter writers and readers. Including Paul explicitly giving Dave scoops on camera (which is not bad or anything, just funny): https://streamable.com/wvbgl Another great one: The week Eddie takes over as GWF booker, the Torch and Observer coverage are near-identical, with the same points in the same order. quote:These two points seem related somewhat. I'm drawing a blank on it now, but there's absolutely an earlier interview—as in early '90s—where he gave a subscriber count that was already into the thousands. Based on the figures that Steve Beverly would occasionally give for his *own* subscribers in Matwatch, I totally buy that.
