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.

Agreed. You get to skip the call ins and if there’s good discussion they’ll upload pretty lengthy clips of it. I do this for observer radio too.

At this point the only episodes I actually listen to in full on the website is the B&V shows.

Yeah I was utterly bewildered by that. He said it like it was something EVERYBODY knew about it and Bryan didn't make a peep, I kept waiting for an explanation.

I'd say Hogan would be in a hospital room, but I can't tell you whether it'd be because of Mox or Renee.

Why not both, could be a good couple activity. Renee brings a hockey bat, Mox brings a barbed-wire baseball bat, and together they go beating up an orange racist WWE HOFer.

Kurt was already up there with some of the best, but just imagining him without all his injuries and drug abuse that derailed most of his career would probably safely slot him in as one of the 10 greatest wrestlers of all time. He got so good, so fast, and only mostly under the WWE environment which tends to stifle good wrestlers.

Words don't do it justice, but on the latest B&V, Bryan's description of how the WWE backstage interviewers react to things being said is loving hilarious.

After Bret Hart went to WCW (and I think after the Goldberg concussion?) he said he would wake up in the middle of the night with a pillow in a headlock because he'd been dreaming of getting to wrestle Kurt Angle :shobon:

Yep, somebody pulled out that old chestnut about how he had no right to talk poo poo about wrestling promoters because he himself had personally never drawn money (an asinine criticism) and he replied,"I've made millions out of wrestling" or words to that effect then promptly deleted it.

I far prefer his recent flex about getting women's phone numbers at the beach in his youth :allears:

On the latest WOL, Bryan mentions (with the caveat that Orton might just be lying) that apparently that recent confrontation between Orton and Ric Flair where Flair cut a great promo... the script called for Flair to just stand there and say nothing. :psyduck:

I can simultaneously believe that the script was for Ric to stand there and say nothing and that Orton might be lying to be honest. In a scenario where Ric cuts a promo off the cuff and someone like Owens is there who can vamp back at it I'm sure they'd air it anyway.

Yea, since it was a taped show he may have figured He can do whatever on the mic since they can just cut it before air if they don't like it.

The Moxley interview on WOR was great, apparently that video they kept playing to taunt Juice Robinson on New Japan World used a body double for Mox because he wasn't available. They got the Death Riders name because some dude just went and bought a 2nd hand leather jacket for the video and it happened to have that name on it because it used to be owned by one of those dudes who would ride a motorbike around inside the ball cage at the carnival :allears:

He also lays out the exact timeline of how Renee's COVID diagnosis came through, and in spite of his efforts to control himself lets rip at WWE and particularly Vince McMahon a couple of times.
