Bwahahaha Jeff has never given a gently caress, it's amazing.

As for Botchamania, from digging around their terms, it looks like Vimeo is saying he's in the 99th percentile of bandwidth use? Which doesn't seem possible with the numbers he shared and how his traffic is spread out over different platforms.

Apparently Alvarez criticized the commentary on the Gargano/Ciampa empty arena match when it didn’t have any? “it’s hard to listen to Mauro at 100 for 55 minutes.”. What’s with that.

I’ve felt like Bryan is a grifter for a while, and only shits on WWE for youtube clicks or whatever, which is fine but people also take him seriously as a news source, not that they should but they do. The co host did correct him (not Dave, some other guy) but I just thought it was a super weird moment to criticize something that didn’t happen.

That empty arena match sucked also, I mean they all kind of do in my opinion.

i heard he hasn't watched any wwe since 2018 and just hangs around message boards picking up 'the vibe' and commenting on it based on that.

Wrestling Observer Live I think, I only saw the clip not the whole show. But whichever one they do video of. Also the co host called him on it but it was super weird to me because for all his kind of worky getting riled up he usually doesn't just say things that aren't true.

Could he have watched another Gargano Chiampa match on accident?

lol yeah, dude's burnt out and obviously playing the hits. Complaining about Mauro's energy is probably just an instinct for him. Clip's dumb with him saying JR was good because while JR has been good in the past he was awful at announcing a empty arena match by himself for AEW in 2020.

I think it's disingenuous to say he only shits on it for clicks because that would imply he actually enjoys the product or something and he really doesn't. It is however obvious that he only pays attention to it and reviews it for the clicks. But like, that's his job and what people want. The shows would be better if they stopped being WWE focused but they'd also lose a decent portion of the audience. A lot of people just want to watch a show they don't like and then listen to a man who hates the show talk about how awful he is.

Bryan praises something in a WWE show, sometimes more than one thing, every single week. In fact I think he and Dave are sometimes too kind to the WWE product.

Alvarez acknowledged this on his own show which he executive produces as a kind of trick. You see

I stopped subscribing recently but I always found that to be true as well. Like RAW would be totally rancid for three hours and then Dave would describe it as "a good show overall".

Were there really seven commercials breaks in a single match?

It was less than that, but that part I felt he was just being hyperbolic for effect which isn't weird to me.

Maybe Alvarez is losing his mind in quarantine and starting to hear Mauro in his head.

seven breaks in a hour sounds like a WWE TV move.

Eh, he's heard enough that even the idea of Mauro alone on commentary for an hour worked for his idea that JR was better at bringing the appropriate energy.

But yes Bryan is often wrong, but brings enough entertainment that I'm fine with it.

And that’s just Raw and Smackdown. Bryan and Vinny consistently praise most of NXT even if there’s some stuff on there they dislike. Both really liked the Gargano/Ciampa match for example even when most people here disliked it.

Your new world champion! Elbow to the side of the head!

And if you want to complain about Bryan not remembering things, check out at 55 minutes where he talks about bobbing for apples and forgets earlier in the show where they clarified it is bobbing for pumpkins in chocolate syrup. Like he says "in tar or something" and Vinny has to remind him it's chocolates syrup, as they discussed 20 minutes ago.

When people invoke my name, and only my name, to make a point, it's almost always in service of being annoyed that I'm talking about racism, sexism, ableism, or queerphobia.

I had a point, but I can't remember what it was.

they do mine to talk about lying even though that's coco no no and i haven't really lied about anything in particular. maybe obvious jokes that are sarcasm or something. Well we've got to roll with the paunches. standing up for the right thing might annoy people but if someone gets annoyed 100 times their bones all fuse together so too bad for them.
