Lid posted:Tony Atlas comes out as the only true hero of the Brody story. Abdullah sucks and Dutch omits the parts of the story that dont look great on him, such as why he covered for Jose (in that he was there but only Atlas said it was Jose which means Dutch either said nothing or said the fan line). Dutch also supported the self-defense by talking about Invader's shirt being ripped. Smoking Crow posted:Savio Vega's version is also good This is good too. This just is so hosed up.

Every time Dutch Mantel comments on something it reminds me that he's kinda terrible. Him defending Brody being killed makes me wonder if there wasn't personal enmity between Dutch and Brody, not hard to fathom since Brody had a habit of pissing people off. Which still doesn't excuse defending a murderer.

taube doesnt do the show because hes doing socialism all the time and bentley’s main position on billionaires is theyre stupid who stumbled backwards into their money and shouldnt exist so maybe the twitter consensus among the swamp communists is not an assessment you should take at face value

And Dave would come in every time and just yell at how dumb this fucker is. Nielson’s format provides a ton of possibilities for bad data, and why we’re using it in 2019 is insane. I guess I don’t see how wrestling is getting a bad deal, or how raw or nitro specifically were inaccurate. Or, really how anyone could prove that. I do know it’s a format that could be heavily influenced by human error.

Very, very good new F4D with Lance. Lance is the best I've seen at clearly articulating how and why WWE is failing. Also good behind the scenes info on the Brian Cage injury if anyone is interested e: Also thought it was interesting on the Pacific Rim podcast that Fumi says Moxley would be perfect for New Japan, and people in Japan are already speculating about it. I honestly didn't think he'd be a good fit Low Desert Punk fucked around with this message at 00:24 on May 5, 2019 |

Always been a Lance fan audio wise. But "I texted a buddy this" gets slightly grating at points as he says it too much.

He's a name that has credibility with US fans, plus he works a brawl-y style that Japanese fans like from gaijin.

Moxley joining up with Suzuki-gun would help with his weak offense and allow him to brawl in crowds all the time

It’ll be interesting when Smackdown moves to Fox because at least the model they use to calculate OTA TV ratings is more inclusive and less presumptive than cable. It’s still garbage though and I agree it’s amazing it’s being used in 2019. But yeah as you say I don’t see how it’s specifically unfair to wrestling specifically. It’s the model advertisers use and accept so it sort of doesn’t matter if there are a bunch of uncounted wrestling fans, especially now that the WWE isn’t really a PPV or live event business anymore.

rovert posted:Haven't listened yet. But I've heard interviews with him before. Jimmy's brain and mouth moves a mile a minute once you accept that Jimmy has a lot to offer and will make you think about Pro Wrestling in new ways: I liked this a lot, though it's a lot of what you've already known/heard from Bryan before. Jimmy is an excellent interviewer, kind of a better version of Colt, and doesn't get in Bryan's way too much. Good listen and I'd love to see what other guests he gets on there.

Vinny telling the story about getting kicked in the back of the head in a match and only grasping AFTER Bryan pointed it out that he should have turned and faced the other direction after the first kick absolutely cracked me up. Vinny always jokes about how bad he was and how slow whatever improvement he made was, but the fact he didn't grasp this until Bryan pointed it out all these years later is just great. It's not like he's dumb either, like the man himself says,"I HAVE A BIG BRAIN!", but it just wasn't something he really got.
