I don't know if it's an obit but I really loved Dave's piece about Ali shortly after his passing. I thought his thoughts on watching Ali's last fight at the time was hauntingly beautiful.

The gist I got is that some Americans went over who either knew Dave or said they knew did were obnoxious & pissed everyone off and somehow Dave got the blame for this. It seems dumb as hell.

From all accounts I've heard, Mrs. Baba comes off as a really petty and spiteful person. There's a good chance she was mad at Dave for some small thing and just used those people being 'rude' as the excuse to blackball him.

As an American living in Asia, I can tell you first hand that white people are all grouped together and we get blamed for everything that one jackass does. It's to a level where whenever we see something happen, we joke that as a community we need to issue statements publicly distancing ourselves from this person.

he did a podcast with all the people he used to go to japan with once. It wasn't on the F4W network. If you search his name in the podcast app you might find it. I think it's from 2017.

I don't think Dave has ever said specifically. From other podcasts, I think a rude American or a group of rude Americans made an rear end of themselves backstage at an AJPW show. They said they knew Dave and that's why he got banned. I could be completely wrong about this.

Joey Janela is on the latest episode of the Doughboys. It's a (bad) podcast that reviews chain restaurants. The hosts have talked about going to PWG and BOLA before so it should be pretty interesting.

This could be the most one-sided fight since 1973 when Ali faced an eighty-foot tall mechanical Joe Frazier. My memory isn't what it used to be, but I think the entire Earth was destroyed.

That New Day episode is definitely a pro click, and if you can’t watch all of it at least watch The first 10 minutes or so. Big E cuts straight to the heart of it in a really powerful way.
