Dave dropping one of the worst opinions he's ever had on Observer Radio. He didn't like the Dark Order/Elite match.

I don't mind results spoilers but Dave is literally doing a move-by-move breakdown of the Danielson/Kingston match and it's like, why.

Dave’s brain is in the west coast which already treats time as optional but he’s also Not Normal so time has even less meaning.

Oh Dave, not realizing Cody's "when I had his arms hooked, I could've done something much worse" line was referencing the Pedigree lol

The drop in Vinny’s enthusiasm as he goes from Dynamite to NXT is very funny.

This NXT review... we have reached retro WCW and TNA levels of Vinny rage and apathy. I have missed this. He has given up on this and its awesome. I broke down crying at him ranting over how there were two camera cuts during an Io Shirai moonsault while she was still in mid air. The NXT reviews are now must listen appointments.

The best part of this week's NXT talk is Bryan's been insisting this was a good show and absolutely no-one is going with him on it.

Dave didn't have much to add to the latest Dark Side. At first I was surprised that they didn't tell the whole Donahue thing but the whole episode quickly becomes the Jerry McDevitt show and he's honestly kind of enjoyable to listen to. I was surprised they got him on the show but actually he's basically doing another victory lap. No matter though because I'm sure we'll get a show from Dave about it this weekend.

I loved that Dave can't help but still be Dave in that DSotR ep. "I'm Dave Meltzer. I've been an editor for 49 years. No, 50 years. Fifty years."

Honestly surprised his living room floor isn't covered with papers too. You know how in movies/tv they always portray the nutcase conspiracy theorist living in home filled wall to wall with boxes upon boxes of files? That's what I imagine Dave's house to look it.

usually agree with or at least see where lance is coming from but boy is he being selectively critical and outright fallacious about the dynamite main event i'd challenge him to find another human being who arrived at the conclusion that hangman was a coward and a bad friend because he hid in a costume, stood around while his friends got beat up, and then attacked matt jackson from behind rather than a smart guy who planned ahead with his friends to thwart the heels. like, with hindsight you could certainly argue the former but ironically it sounds exactly like whining a heel would do after they got outsmarted and made to look like fools so maybe kenny should just take this material from lance for his next promo. he says they should've just done a normal match and had hangman just... run out to save them. then he would've liked it, and that means all the people who hated it would've also liked it, and that supposedly means more people would've liked it overall, and so it would be better, ignoring how much the clip of hangman taking off the stay-puft head blew up on twitter outside of wrestling circles, and how we're still talking about it days later. people are rightfully derisive of WWE's philosophy on Creating Moments but it is absolutely an effective strategy at garnering outside awareness and interest even if for most people it's just them seeing a 10 second clip on twitter and the WWE problem is when you tune in for the bits inbetween The Moments it's mostly dreadful. also bryan is very bad at having construction conversation and arguing bebaloorpabopalo fucked around with this message at 16:39 on Oct 30, 2021 |

The one point where I feel like you can maybe argue they gilded the lily a bit was Colt getting the Shield powerbomb on the proton packs. Like, that should be the point Hangman intervenes cuz why would he just let Colt get loving wrecked?
