Fat Lowtax posted:How real was the talk of Lana becoming the "female face of the company" or whatever? It just seems like a weird thing to say about a total non-wrestler in a one note gimmick, even if she was doing very well. IIRC Meltzer was talking it up a fair amount around WM time, possibly sooner.

Bryan's best written freakout is this: quote:Mr. Anderson vs. The Not So Great Muta. Anderson was dressed as 1989 Sting and Muta was played by Eric Young. Trying to comprehend any of this is beyond my capacities. I don't even get it in storyline. This tribute is supposed to make Sting mad? It's supposed to make him so mad he wants to beat up Anderson on PPV? Anderson and Young proceeded to have a comedy match. Anderson missed some splashes in the corner and went "WHOO!" It appears Eric thought this was bullshit and was going to leave. Let me repeat that. ERIC YOUNG THOUGHT THIS WAS BULLSHIT. THE GUY WHO WEARS TWO loving FAKE BELTS AROUND ALL THE TIME THOUGHT THIS WAS TOO ABSURD TO BE A PART OF. I -- get ready -- HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE THIS loving SHOW~!~!!~!!~!~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It gets better. Anderson slapped him and a "real match" started. Tenay was telling us that we shouldn't underestimate Eric Young's ability. WE SHOULDN'T UNDERESTIMATE ERIC YOUNG'S ABILITY? After all these loving years of bullshit, NOW we're supposed to take him seriously. AND THEN ERIC loving YOUNG WON. He hit the moonsault, then Gunner ran out for distraction. He only distracted the ref, though. Anderson wasn't distracted. Young then blew green mist in his eyes and pinned him with a small package. HE PINNED MR. ANDERSON. I wouldn't give two fucks about this if it was a bullshit mid-card angle on this show, BUT MR. ANDERSON IS CHALLENGING STING FOR THE TITLE ON THE NEXT SHOW. Gunner and Anderson beat up Eric afterwards until Sting made the save. This was the most mind-boggling booking in many, many years, even by Impact standards. Sweet loving gently caress.

flashy_mcflash posted:Speaking of which, are there any good archived interviews where Dave takes down a known bullshitter (on the level of a Bischoff, Russo, etc) to their faces? Dave on the infamous Donahue episode during the steroid trials is pretty fun. And while it's not to his face, his interview with Ole Anderson is great too.

Greg is a huge feminist liberal, so his rants are basically the anti-Cornette.

Yeah, his political stuff can get a bit tiresome even if you agree with him (and it usually is rooted in fact and decency rather than just nonsensical ranting), but him talking about music or baseball or whatever is superb stuff.

I haven't listened to B&V in a few months, so I decided to listen to the newest episode on my drive home from work. After listening to Bryan do nothing but whine about Granny's audio quality for the first 5 minutes, I resumed not listening to the B&V show.
