Speaking of retro gently caress WWE has been so mediocre for 20 years that no one is like lets watch classic smackdown from the 2000s. We know they existed and things happened but no one will be lets watch them because theyre not a disaster like TNA or brilliant like RoH. They just exist. The 2010s are even worse with all throwback retro watches being New Japan.

The podcasts are much better when it is Bryan ranting about poo poo he thinks is stupid. Or like today, things he initially thinks are OK and then realizes are stupid.

Lid posted:False Same goes for the Impact reviews. Obviously there's the Gold Boat rant as the best example of Bryan getting really angry, but on the other side you also have something like the "Silent Night, Bloody Night" christmas tree match that was so hilariously stupid that both Bryan and Vinny just completely lost it at the absurdity of it all. And of course, let's never forget the glorious reviews of the Urban Wrestling Federation for an absolute poo poo product that lead to some of the most entertaining reviews I've ever heard.

Bryan's reaction to the Fiend/Seth hammer shenanigans in Hell in a Cell were incredible, because it was something he knew was stupid, then he slowly realized was far, far stupider than he thought.

Great!"

Urgh, it's probably that. If they did him a favour, people would claim bias and bribes forever.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jva3T9N_iu0 Glad they didn't skip right to the next PPV or else I never would have known to go look this up. So obviously this is not a shoot but given basically nobody would understand the promo at all, I feel it has to be from the heart. I think there's real passion in this, real (and perfectly justified) anger and frustration. NikkolasKing fucked around with this message at 06:24 on Aug 25, 2021 |

Isn't PWG notorious (is that the right word? I mean it in a positive sense) that NOBODY gets gifted/comped a ticket and it really is first-come/first-served with no exceptions?

They used some tickets in reserve for regulars to purchase if they couldn't get through the massive rush to buy when they were in Reseda. But they weren't comps, you had to pay.

DMorbid posted:No, that was months earlier. This promo was at the very end of the invasion storyline, on the Survivor Series go-home show. Yeah, to be specific, Steph being unveiled as the owner of ECW was the same night they did the “ECW enters the fray” moment where RVD and Dreamer debuted and the ECW to WWE guys all turned. I remember it specifically because in the middle of the night they’d revitalized the whole stupid Invasion angle with one segment and at the end of the night they destroyed every iota of interest I had in it to keep on running McMahon vs McMahon bullshit over a year after Wrestlemania 2000.

Warning for WOR listeners: Bryan gives a Rampage spoiler while running down the All Out card around the 53 minute mark. I'm gonna have to stop listening to Wednesday WORs to avoid spoilers.

If you complain to Bryan he will make the spoiler warning more obvious and hopefully also make fun of everyone mad about spoilers.

Arbite posted:Haven't listened yet, definitely not the 57 minute mark? Correct. They run down the All Out card at the end of the Dynamite recap. Bryan reads off the Young Bucks match with their opponent. Hence my post giving a heads up about it. While it's a little annoying to skip around, I don't have a problem with spoilers if they correctly timestamp it. (Although it would be nice if they just ended with spoilers and a warning so I can just shut it off instead.)
