Thrown off the cell, then right back out to interfere in the following match. What a trooper

That's okay, it's kind of a one-match show and that's the match. All due apologies to the Outlaws versus BoDACious Bart and BomBAStic Bob as the New Midnight Express of course.

Can't believe Rating Company Meltzer hasn't given WWE a single 5-star in the month since he gave WWE a five star match

My favorite NFL team is the Carolina Panthers. That doesn’t mean I want our rival the Falcons to go out of business. I don’t get these people at all. I don’t even get online to poo poo talk or hate view poo poo I don’t like I just…don’t engage with it, the western world is obsessed with being upset.

…did Dave give any of the Michaels Mania matches 5? I just remember the vicious debates you saw (less so now) about the Undertaker match getting 4.75 and having watched the thing after seeing those arguments he was being generous.

I don't think that's the right analogy. Like, imagine if the nfl was in decline for several years, and many fans were clamoring for changes, but they went ignored because the nfl stubbornly believes their way is the way football is meant to be played. Then suddenly a new league rises up because they're implementing these new changes to the game of football that are meant to appeal to a fresher, younger demographic. The fans that have completely bought in to the nfl's company line, that football the way it has been is the only football, thoroughly reject the notion of such changes like a transplanted organ and their fandom becomes threatened in that there's now a chance that football in the only way they've ever consumed dies with them.

(WWE somehow completely changes their entire philosophy, hires Omega, retains Danielson and puts them on TV for half an hour in a five star match)

I don't want my NFL rivals to go out of business but I do want them to be absolutely terrible gutter trash that goes 0-17 every year and is an after thought to everyone except their most die hard fans

also treating the wwf like a local sports team is dumb as gently caress.

It was a cool couple of months when the Wilpons were in deep financial peril and almost had to sell the Mets because of their involvement with Bernie Madoff. They are rich so nothing bad happened to them but what I am saying is it would be very funny for a modern major American sports team to go bankrupt.

I am not a baseball fan, but my closest friend is, and I can confirm this sentiment. He also wouldn't lose any sleep if the Mets went either.
