Dave trying so hard to avoid admitting the obvious reason why he never gets pulled over despite speeding all the time while Jon Jones does

Tremendous Daveism on today's WOR. "Let me be clear so no-one can misinterpret, there's stuff that I've seen and I can't really say what it is..."

Dave "Bill Watts wasn't racist" "the N-word wasn't racist" "I don't know why Jon Jones gets pulled over" MeltzerNuclearPotato posted:I found out the other day that Lanza's like 53 now, and that explains so much about him. Outside of that, VOW Flagship is a recommend from me, especially when they cover some of the smaller purl companies. 53? Jesus H Christ, i'm surprised but yeah it explains a lot

I remember once on WOR Dave said that if he hadn't gone into sports writing he would have covered politics instead. Good Lord

CascadeBeta posted:"So, uh, in the primaries after the debate, you have Trump up... 8. Cruz is dooown fiiiive. Jeb is- uh, where are my notes?" You start out in 1954 by saying, “mark, mark, mark.” By 1968 you can't say “mark” — that hurts you. Backfires. So you say stuff like "fans", "customers" and all that stuff. You're getting so abstract now [that] you're talking about gate receipts, and all these things you're talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is [that] marks get hurt worse than smart fans. And subconsciously maybe that is part of it. I'm not saying that. But I'm saying that if it is getting that abstract, and that coded, that we are doing away with the mark problem one way or the other. You follow me — because obviously sitting around saying, “We want to book this,” is much more abstract than even the gate thing, and a hell of a lot more abstract than “mark, mark.”

ICHIBAHN posted:I don't remember him saying the latter part. I do remember him saying Watts wasn't a racist, which i do have a problem with, but not him saying they were "using the accepted industry term for black talent." He's definitely said this more than once

coconono posted:it really depends on if the money's decent. By my math, it'd need to be around $3-4000USD weekly to make up for the booking, merchandising and licensing shortfalls. I'm not sure any of the native UK talent are making 3000 USD/2500 GBP a week. Most of them have regular jobs which I doubt they would if they were on 100k a year from wrestling
