Corgis love bread. And Puro



Why would this surprise anyone. Fine if you don't like Ospreay, but Dave clearly does, a lot. Misawa had 25 *****+ matches in a 27 year career. Ospreay has 22 (or 23, did he review Ospreay vs RKJ?) in an 11 year career. Ospreay is basically Dave's platonic ideal of a wrestler. Fine not to agree with that but people go out of their way to be mad about 1 bloke's opinions on wrestling.

Right the point isn't oh how mad will they be next week if its still good. The point is, whenever AEW does well, they always say the same poo poo. Oh yeah well next week it will be bad again so this doesnt matter. It's forever goalpost moving

Plus Ospreay’s g1 finals matches were great and the trios match on dynamite was spectacular. You’re right that Dave loves Ospreay and I don’t think the praise for will in the last two weeks is underserved

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin


This is one of my favorite things. Someone gets angry about something they made up in their head.

I wasn't aware of Punk losing in Cleveland in the UFC, and I straight up forgot he walked out of WWE from Cleveland. For me, I always consider Pittsburgh his walkout since that was the really terrible Rumble that led to the rear end video.

None of this is important, none of this matters, but this dude is really angry that AEW didn't tell him about it.

The cherry on top is that he's apparently fully aware of these things now but acting as if it's arcane knowledge only available to the most studious of scholars.

I didn't know anything about the Punk in Cleveland history either. I thought the storyline was two guys who have a claim to be champion can't be separated until the PPV so the match is brought forward and one guy reinjures himself because he came back too early while the other guy who has been dominant in the last 3 months took advantage and won.

Where it happened was irrelevant. It just happened to be Mox's hometown and a place where some stuff happened to Punk.

“No, I think Thunder Rosa should talk the least amount as possible in wrestling and in interviews and in everything and the world would be a better place because she sounds stupid all the time when she says anything. That’s what I think [Baker smiled]. No, I don’t compare myself to people like The Rock and [Steve] Austin or anything like that. In-character, sure, I think I’m better. Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D. is better than anybody but when we’re talking realistic storyline settings, I don’t think anything right now that I could do would be at that level. Someday? I hope so, maybe and I hope and pray that I can have that type of impact on the wrestling world but, Thunder Rosa, most of the time when she opens her mouth, something stupid comes out.”

And like, she said "In-character" in the middle of the sentence, so please don't try to say that this was her cutting a promo.

He's right that she's buried Thunder out of character though I don't think "Thunder Rosa says you two are on the level of The Rock vs. Austin, what do you think?" "“No, I think Thunder Rosa should talk the least amount as possible in wrestling and in interviews and in everything and the world would be a better place because she sounds stupid all the time when she says anything.

As the past few days demonstrate, wrestling fans are able to convince themselves wrestlers are working even when it does not contribute to a story at all, so why not say “This is what I, the performer, explicitly think out-of-character” and dump on your coworker you hate and let people work out how it’s actually just part of the show

Then it's impossible to tell who actually means what when, so maybe we should just let performers worry about their own personal interactions and not concern ourselves with it
