Someone even pointed out that his math is still off by one match so he's probably missing Starks beating Sydal at BotB.

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.

Nah, he should continue ignoring him because it's much funnier. Especially considering how Tony will engage with every random weirdo under the sun except him.

That's how I feel as well. Alfred is honestly the saddest grifter and the more Tony ignores him the better.

Why do I get the feeling that if WWE advertised the match and then just chose not to do it this would be one of the fuckers who'd be defending the company with "card subject to change"?

Was curious what old Scott Keith is up to and this mailbag question and response cracked me up.

quote:

So it is agreed amongst all baseball experts that Willie Mays is the greatest baseball player of all times due to being a far above average five tool player (fielding, throwing, running, hitting, hitting with power). In the last 20 years, who is the best 5 tool wrestler (charisma, mic skills, storytelling, movez, look)? Is it DBD or Cena?

The Rock. Or am I not allowed to say him?

I actually went to Keith's blog a couple weeks ago because it occurred to me he'd probably fit great in a "no psycho poo poo, only funny takes" bad takes thread, and I was actually kind of pleasantly disappointed? Like he's still Scott Keith and still has some weirdo opinions and complete misunderstandings, but he's generally pretty PSP-orthodox these days: "AEW is good, WWE is awful, the people behind WWE are terrible." I couldn't find anything worth the effort.

And then his comments section has the opposite problem: there are very few bad takes I saw in that cesspool that were closer to "funny take" than "psycho poo poo." :shrug:

Yeah he's pretty boring unless he tries to do history so I mostly forget him. But seeing "Best 5 tool wrestler of the last 20 years" being a guy who basically retired 19 years ago was pretty good.

I used to read Scott Keith (he was ... uhhh... Netcop? Was it?) back in the day and he was my go-to-guy for PPV reviews before ordering a tape from some tape trader. What happened to him since then, or was he always a weirdo and I just didn't notice?

They both seem fine and do not seem to be writing anything about wrestling, though CRZ will still tweet/retweet about it from time to time.

Mr. Tito retired from phat wrestling commentary on 12/31/2021, so that was the end of an era. It was also probably on-message with this thread, since his last column was a prediction/prediction recap column that boiled down to "I've been saying that CM Punk will return to wrestling every year since 2017 and well... TOLDJA, MY PREDICTION CAME TRUE. I also predicted either ROH or Impact would go out of business every year for the past six years and while I hate to see it, my powers of prediction struck again! Now, for the third straight year I am going to predict that one of the core Elite members will leave AEW, I know I whiffed this one before but I have a good feeling about 2022..."

mr tito was truly insufferable, i remember reading him a long time ago and was shocked to see he was still doing it. just like all these old commentators, unbelievably smug about their awful opinions

CRZ's forum, the-w.com, is still alive even though there are like four people who still post there. Based on the threads, the regulars seem barely aware AEW even exists.

How about John Petrie of Slobberknocker Central? I can't find anything about him other than a few archived recaps floating around.

Also not a take but AFAIK Red Velvet is just very dark Columbian. Her dad was a pretty famous South American boxer.


edit: lol honest mistake and I stand corrected, which I guess makes me a gaslighting supremacist or something even though I said "not a take" and "as far as I know". Great job, thread. :rolleye:
