man vince loving hated austin and JR after he bought WCW didnt he

Vince has always treated JR as a punching bag. poo poo he got shoot fired after his first case of Bells Palsy in the mid 90s.

Just was more overt about in the 2000s with the Kiss My rear end Club and the Dr Heiny segment and Linda Ellerbee kayfabe firing him and kicking him in the nuts (which got reused in political attack ads😂).

It's some Twitter thing, he started it up a couple of months ago, his followers pay money to get exclusive access to stuff he does... except so far none of the money has come to him, and he was grumbling about how Twitter having a new owner better not affect his payments.

do they still do the crazy camera shaking and zooming while doing multiple cuts per second

Yes. But less so. It's gone from something designed to brain damage their audience further while getting them hooked to a drug-like vertigo experience, to something that's used to make the wrestling seem faster and more impactful. It's not what I want from a production point of view but I do think it's just bordering on a valid production decision, as I said before.

Another baffling Sempervive bit on WOL today where he spent 5 minutes angrily insisting that Nakamura lied that Vince McMahon turned down his request to have a match with Muta and then tried again when Triple H took over... but also insisted that maybe Nakamura told the truth but that doesn't matter?

its funny because we see it as overproduced (and I agree) but someone that only watches wwe will watch aew and think it looks too dark and b-league because they've been conditioned for glossy zoomy nonsense and there are no floor to ceiling screens

the only area I feel wwe still has the more appealing production on is the audio on entrance themes

I didn't realize until I went on youtube to look up the segment that Linda firing JR is what led to that segment from the retro review. I thought those were separate times JR was fired.

It's hilarious how much more engaged Bryan is now that they are on video.

It has brought out how much he is enjoying current WWE though. Two sides of a coin

Didn't they also move the podcasts forward to a human recording hour? Like dealing with Dave's poo poo at 2:30am sounds rough.

They're trying to do all the video shows at 11:30pm Pacific unless there's a bunch of TV to watch first, but who knows if that'll hold

I remember that segment as far as Austin not being there, Goldust showing up, Funaki getting beat down, then Batista shows up, but somehow I forgot that loving VADER shows up.

Didn’t Vader fall on his rear end in that segment?

I think that was the segment. I also remember reading somewhere that he was supposed to get a DVD with a compilation of his matches, like Flair and Foley did, but him slipping up in that segment led to Vince vetoing it.

So yeah, another reason to say "gently caress Vince." A DVD or blu-ray set of Vader's matches from WCW and WWF would have loving owned.

That Meltzer chat with Nick Housman was unreal. Two guys who have been sources of all the information we have, get together and handshake to re-establish old news. Nick hears the “Punk gets voted off the island” joke and insists that it’s a literal thing, more than once. “So, who’s making these votes?”

I can see why Punk’s camp told this credulous improver that Larry got whacked by the door.
