And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Were these actually two seperate matches that took place at different times of the show, or was this one match that ended prematurely for whatever reason and then restarted like nothing happened?

that is a bit of a minsomer, the match got restarted due to a double countout after 11 minutes and the second half was 7 minutes which ALSO ended in a double count out

both matches got five stars as one continous match.

Getting back into wrestling (sort of) and I liked a lot of the Bryan & Vinny & Craig and Bryan & (bearded guy who is in some sort of control room?) segments I found on youtube.

I shouldn't expect to find much free content on their site yea? Eps from the 00s and 10s are usually subscriber-only right?

Has Meltzer always taken 20 minutes to express 1 minute of concrete thought/analysis?

And what happened to other folks from F4W and WO, like Wade Keller? I used to print out (lol) his write-ups of Raw/Nitro/etc and read them on the bus wayyy back around 2000.

Yeah, most of it’s behind a paywall though the YT segments are decent tbh.
I don’t know it’s always been the case, but you will learn to understand and maybe even appreciate Meltzer’s pedantry with time and repeated exposure. He’s actually less like that on any show he’s in person for, but that’s few and far between.

Dave's got the alarm clock in the middle of the ring. Suddenly Dave's son appears with the smoke detector and confronts him in the ring. Almost immediately they're interrupted and out comes Dave's daughter with a half dozen stop watches. They jaw jack back and froth about who's going to win the contest for greatest distraction in WON history. Bryan sounds increasingly irritated on commentary.

Suddenly glass shatters. It's Dave's wife and bah gawd she's got a Beatles poster. It's a fatal four way with a Meltzer in every corner!

At the risk of :thejoke:, blockchain doesn't do poo poo about inflation, people just pretend it does because you can't actually buy poo poo with crypto so it doesn't get devalued by inflation, the dollar/pound/euro/yen does.

Strategic voting, mostly. Some voters will assume that Okada walks right in so they save their votes for people they want to keep on the ballot. This happens all the time with the baseball HOF.

I'm also guessing like Baseball hall voters you have some that probably don't think anyone should be unanimous for the hall or think Okada shouldn't have more votes than say Kobashi
