projecthalaxy posted:I'm actually curious about a bit of Davelore and this seems the best place to ask. I know F4W and WON used to be independent (competitors?) and now it's one thing but how exactly did that merger look? Like was it presented as a 50 50 merger, did Dave just put F4W on the letterhead when Bryan started doing the hotline, or some secret third thing? Was there a ritual combat is my question really. Prior to the merger Dave was very friendly with Bryan. They did WOL years earlier and WOL was bad as a weekly thing on top of Dave appearing on Bryan's F4D podcast every two weeks. The merger was announced and it wasn't really presented as anything more than they were merging, the Observer would be available online and we'd get 3 Bryan and Dave shows per week. So you had no reason to think it was anything more than a 50/50 thing.

I will admit a small part of me wanted like the last F4W newsletter to be some sort of deranged "the dave hordes are at the gates but I will not be silenced i will continue to speak freely" or whatever but that was unrealistic and if anything apparently would have gone the other direction.

I wonder if Bryan has a plan for if Dave retires soon. I think a podcast where you talk to your grandma about 90s wrestling is only going to pay so many bills.

If he just jacks up his cameo price by a couple of bucks he can retire with Dave

Bryan spends a lot of money but he also makes hundreds of thousands of dollars per year on his website and video subscriptions he can probably retire when Dave dies.

This is a little older now but we were just talking in Wrestling Questions thread about how Sid is the Platonic Ideal of American pro-wrestling. Some folks agreed with me there and it looks like they said as much on the Nash podcast, too If you wee to make a wrestler in a lab in the 80s, you would get Sid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aV9nTs615Rk

I dropped Nash’s podcast because his co-host comes off like kind of an rear end in a top hat and I got tired of him. Being a little relaxed is alright.

STONE COLD 64 posted:Bryan Alvarez still has two bbq grills STONE COLD 64 posted:one of them is completely unusable because it requires a gas connection and seemingly he doesn't have one at all in his home He went to Home Depot to buy a propane grill and purchased a propane grill and brought the grill home and it was a grill powered by natural gas that requires you to run a line outside to the grill. He contacted Home Depot about this and they apologized and said they'd deliver a new (propane) grill and pick up the old (natural gas) grill. They did the first part, but the people delivering the propane grill wouldn't take the natural gas grill back. No one from Home Depot seemed to want to come pick up the grill and he had only paid for one grill so he stopped calling asking them to pick up the useless grill. He revealed the other week that he got sick of it taking up space and gave in and drove it back to return it himself. Because of all of the hundreds of cardboard boxes filling up his garage/porch, it was getting to be too much to also have a useless grill around.

Yeah, I'm fully behind Bryan on that one, it was the store's fault entirely and he legit went above and beyond trying to get it sorted out.

Dave mentioning on WOR today about how happy MLW is about Dana White openly stating about all the times Vince screwed over UFC in potential TV deals is making me go hmm a lot more on his comments. Like it'd be super funny if Dana's trying to stick the knife into Vince as revenge

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eykOnaHJwm0 The wrestling business is invariably full of stories and contradictions and just outright lies. I waned to know if it was true Shawn flipped the script for that match with Davey and I see no reason to doubt JR here who confirms that, yes, Shawn basically said "I don't care how many dying sisters you have in attendance, I'm gonna win here." Shawn was absolutely my favorite wrestler growing up. I still kinda like him when I can just imagine the character in the mid 90s when I fell in love with him. But this haas to be the biggest dick move in wrestling history. Top 10 for certain.

My one complaint about sid is his hair The ramen hair always cut the menace of his crazy eyes, imo. That and the jorts he wore for like the whole last half of his run. My two complaints about sid are his hair and his jorts
