I wonder if Dave always has a habit of discussing TV shows and movies with wrestle-talk.

Hearing him talk about the Tiger Mask anime briefly was a treat.

Also, man, he really hates Dana.

What was the tweet of TJ Perkins that Dave brought up today?

Yeah I couldn't find anything on google. You'd think if he'd tweeted something bad, somebody would've grabbed a screenshot and it'd be up somewhere.

I'm skipping huge swaths of today's WOR cause I don't wanna hear anything about WK11, 'cause I think I might just wind up buying NJW to watch it 'cause everybody says it's so loving great and apparently there's a 45 goddamn minute match, and they're talking it up like the whole thing was so good every time I skip ahead. Was this show just the end all be all or what?

There was a bit of victim blaming. He wasn't intentionally doing it, and it was kind of partially that he thought her phone was stolen rather than hacked, but I would be surprised it he didn't get some heat for the way he was presenting his argument.

I think he was more trying to explain the perspective the company might have.

At any rate, I thought it was Brad Maddox's poo poo that got hacked, not Paige's? I'm so out of the loop on the internet bone zone leak.

How is Bryan still on this kick where he's convinced Heath Slater is lying about having kids?

At one point, the story definitely was that Heath was full of poo poo regarding his seven kids, but it may have just quietly become true because he got so over.

Like, up to a certain point, the story was definitely "Heath has a real wife and two real daughters that he would do absolutely anything for, but we're never seeing them and this family he's talking about on TV is a complete work of fiction."

I feel like Kenny can just wait out Vince entirely if he wants. He's 33, he's not a super young guy, but he's young enough that the balance of his career will probably outlast Vince's career as the top creative presence in WWE.

Yeah I'm gonna go ahead and say I'd believe Alvarez over TJP in that scenario.

They killed Charlotte's streak a month before Wrestlemania because her being 16-0 would make Cena not be the only "16" in the company, which is...what?

I've always just viewed it as such:
- People "in the business" like to believe or like to project the idea that the wrestling business is extremely complicated and that us dumb marks would never understand it without also being "in the business" first.
- Wrestling isn't that complicated, and what about it is complicated is just the insane, nonsensical unwritten rule carny bullshit that most people would immediately disregard as being stupid and archaic.
- Dave is a pretty common sense no bullshit guy who cuts through all the carny poo poo and just talks about wrestling in a common sense, logical way.
- This is :siren: exposing the business :siren:.

Cornette references the Russo/Balor stuff from a few months ago as well. Russo said Balor looks like a kid and didn't have a good body so a guy sends Russo a picture of Balor looking ripped and Russo's response was basically look at all theae gay fans who have pictures of half-naked men.

Highlight from that is this exchange
Cornette's buddy: "So does that mean this whole time he's been writing homoerotic fiction?"
Cornette: "Apparently! And not even good homoerotic fiction!"

I do kinda wish he'd give the most token kind of spoiler warning before talking about betting odds before a PPV, at least.

Like, "this is planned for this event months from now" is fine, "these are the odds and they're probably final two days before the PPV" is. Less fine.
