Chartable, TopPodcast and Podbay list him third behind Foley and Nash's podcasts. Sorting by popular on PlayerFM puts him in like, eighth, and beyond that google tries to give me listicles from like five years ago

he was pretty low on Rolling Stone's list of wrestling podcasts you have to listen to in 2016 though

I've never seen someone listen to a podcast because it's impossible, podcasts are audio.

I take the bus to work and sometimes at red lights I'll glance in someones car and see the description of what they are listening to. There is also a guy that rides on my route from time to time and he listens to Joe Rogan sans earbuds.

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.

I am quoting this post just to say that I like Ethan Page and think he is both personable and handsome.

Also a fine performer. I would love for him to get a championship, but he is most likely better served in the midcard.

I listened to this clip of him describing how he pitched Kane with all these horror movie influences from Halloween to The Omen and he ends it with "but Vince likes the superhero outfit poo poo" and his co-host can't deal with him.

Kane's debut and presentation was pretty perfect, they really lucked out.

The cape rules in and of itself but Kane being the wrestling equivalent of Michael Myers as a first impression was much cooler. He should've adopted the cape instead of that weird welding mask later in his career though.

That she is the one filing AEW's takedown notices against anti-AEW accounts and because of this cost one anti-AEW troll his job. Their evidence is that AEW started listing Don Stevens as their DMCA agent and they could not find a Don Stevens by seeing if Don.stevens and donald.stevens @ aew.com existed as email, and that the number listed is the Jaguars office.

Don't forget that it is ILLEGAL for a company to have more than one person responsible for filing takedown notices and AEW's have emanated from MULTIPLE different email addresses!

The conspiracy runs deep my friends. Thank god some brave redditors have put their lives and careers at risk to shed light on it. May god have mercy on their souls, because Tony Khan's guns for hire won't.

I didn't know this until someone pointed out and that guy clearly didn't either, but 'Designated DMCA Agent' would be someone who receives claims given to AEW if they ever used copyrighted stuff, not someone who sends those out. So the one piece of evidence the guy had he couldn't have typed up in his Email didn't mean what he claimed.

If you scroll back on the account, it started tweeting regularly (and almost exclusively) about DMCA/copyright strikes back in March 2021, taking a weird concern troll attitude about how GirlOnCinema and other Cornette adjacent channels started getting copyright strikes for posting full length matches with MST3K style "commentary" over them. This led to him making weird charts about how up to 27% of some episodes of Dynamite are posted on Reddit across every clip, which is a longer amount of time than some of the full length PPV matches posted with commentary by the YT channels. Surely if AEW was worried about piracy, they would issue takedowns for a six second Darby/Scorpio clip, or a 2m47 Moxley promo too!

He spent months @ing everyone imaginable, all of the AEW accounts, Meltzer, Alvarez, Jericho, Cody, Omega, TK, Adam Page, Brodie Lee (posthumously), Jim Cornette, Lance Storm, WrestleCrap, etc. with zero engagement from anyone (famous or otherwise) until seemingly giving up.

Then he came back this January and did it all over again, with zero engagement and adding in that Reddit is posting info about using VPNs to get cheaper PPVs, which trust him, is definitely a felony to post about. He expanded his @ing to all of the above plus Brandi Rhodes, Bully Ray, Nasty Alfred, Sean Ross Sapp, WWE corporate accounts, Stardom and its wrestlers, GCW, etc.

https://twitter.com/BuckStarsky22/status/1482480375184171012

At the end of January he says he's been banned from Wreddit for calling out all of the pirates.

In February he starts reaching out to AEW Botches and similar accounts because he wants to help them specifically 'beat' their copyright strikes, and also starts actually posting about wrestling (Adam Cole is skinnyfat, Keith Lee and Eddie Kingston are just fat, Danhausen kills the business, CM Punk is an MMA washout that no one can take seriously in AEW, etc) and some of these get some small level of engagement including Kazarian telling him to gently caress off, plus he gets blocked by multiple wrestlers/journalists so he knows he must be doing something right!

So he doubles down on parroting Cornette style "coked out Tony Khan, unprofessional, say what you will but Brock Lesnar is a real star and people believe he's tough, Vince McMahon is a class act" stuff through the spring and gets upwards of 4-10 likes on some of those tweets! He starts talking about being a former indie wrestler and "IWC insider" but he cannot reveal his identity for fear of harassment, and that he's just being a 'heel' on Twitter, if you don't get that you don't get wrestling!

This continued with further doubling down on all of the standard "AEW wrestlers are wimps, probably gay, untrained, no one is watching/buying their shows, have I mentioned that hugging is gay, and Japanese schoolgirl wrestlers are troubling grooming objects for the REAL creeps in AEW, ignore the Vince smears" for months with minimal engagement until last week when he started up the "cybersecurity" angle, this time putting Aubrey Edwards in the crosshairs, accusing her of false identities and illegal acts, digging up photos from her personal IG/some wedding videos, and for whatever mysterious reason attaching "let's attack a woman" to his old posts got him a LOT of engagement.

As for "losing a job", I have no idea what he does for an actual paycheck but he talks explicitly about wanting to get back into wrestling/doing podcasts/'wrestling journalism' so I wouldn't be surprised if he either lost a gig (or even more likely, asked to be booked/write something and was told 'gently caress no, stop being a creep on Twitter') and chalks this up to "losing a job for my views".

During the post-PPV scrum for ROH, Dax said something along the lines of "If Cornette wants to poo poo on me, he's earned that right." Has Cornette turned on FTR somehow? I remember him saying some dumb poo poo about how FTR had to be totally unhappy in AEW a few months ago, but beyond that? It's going to be something stupid like them talking about mental health too much, isn't it?
