Jim Cornette used to have a semi-regular podcast @ http://whosslammingwho.podomatic.com/

I think he was supposed to start updating it again this month but plans can change at anytime as many of you are familiar.

At the end of the day, this is the same guy who was charging people MORE money for buying a full-year subscription to his website compared to those buying it month-to-month. Of course he's not going to see why wrestling fans wouldn't want to hear him talk to his grandmother for 20-30 minutes.

I don't remember this ever being the case.

It was when the cost of a month subscription was $9.99 and the price of the full year subscription was still like $120.99. I wanted to get a full year subscription at the time but saw that I wouldn't be saving any money-- but actually losing a dollar. There was even a thread about it on the f4w board with some posters refusing to buy the year subscription out of principal. If you look on the board I'm sure the thread is still there with Bryan's response.

Yeah Bryan's biggest problem is that even when he's right and he gets into a verbal debate he can't articulate his point at all and his metaphors are always terrible.

On a similar note, I am perplexed by Bryan's story about how he was "really into video games" between 6th and 8th grades and then claims that he matured into being all about sports after that when everyone in the world knows that Bryan knows nothing about sports. I guess I'll give him gymnastics since he teaches it but come on, who's he trying to fool? I don't mind that Bryan is a dork and doesn't watch sports but pretending to be all about video games and then all about sports before launching into how super mario brothers is the greatest video game of all time was just so :psyboom: on so many levels.

It's too bad they already released that Best of 2011 compilation because I thought the WOR from the other day was full of great moments like Dave Meltzer recently in the hospital room with his son and getting annoyed when his son wanted to watch Popeye instead of raw. Then he started talking about booking Popeye.

It's more that a lot of them get really close to having something decent to say but veer straight off into crazytown because it's easier than having to back up your opinion with actual facts. I have some sympathy with the view that the current commonly used model of education may not be the most effective at getting kids to learn, but rather than look up some sort of qualitative or quantitative research Kendrick et al just decide "NAZIS!" is a good enough basis for an argument and leave it at that. Similarly I think there have been more than enough real life occurrences of governmental and corporate coverups to disabuse anyone of the notion that they have our best interests at heart, but rather than sticking to proven or fact-based examples they decide that the sun is cold and chemtrails are a jewi zioni Globalist plot.

Basically they remind me a lot of the way I used to think when I was a conspiracy-obsessed teenager before I discovered actual politics, and yeah while I kind of feel sorry for them I also like to think that maybe they believe crazy poo poo because they mean well, despite being too lazy to do any actual thinking. That may be wishful thinking on my part though

Nobody in this thread has pointed out how much of a loving idiot Kendrick made himself look at the end of the show by blindly throwing his support behind some recent bigfoot research before Bryan Alvarez had to step in like a real journalist to fill in all the gaps like how the researchers tried to make up their own academic journal to give their bigfoot story some credibility.

Statement from Dana Warrior

I've been really quiet since the passing of my husband and the father of my girls. Someone sent me what Mr Bollea had to say in video interview with Grantland yesterday and I would just like to ask him to stop.

He is the only person in the WWE Universe who did not give a call or send a card. My girls asked why he didn't check on us like everyone else and I explained simply there isn't a camera at our mailbox or in the house when we receive our calls.

I would ask respectfully Mr Bollea, for you to understand my girls hurt and just let some time pass before you say anything more.

There was a time years ago when the annual price of the year subscription was either $119.99 or $120.99 (I can't remember which) while it was $9.99 per month and Bryan used to get pissed and ban people on the forum for complaining about how loving stupid it was to charge more for the entire year subscription even if it was just a few cents difference.

I've heard some people say that having a guy like Russo around is fine because occasionally he'll have a good idea, but I think that applies to Cornette more. Don't give him any actual power, just solicit his opinion. Cornette's out of touch, but he's more in touch with what I want as a fan that Vince McMahon is.

I'm gonna have to disagree with you and that Cornette has pretty consistent good ideas when it comes to wrestling and is pretty much the anti-Russo. Having said that, it would take a lot of effort to book Bryan Danielson and the Rumble worse than how WWE did it.

Hundreds of pages ago I said that f4w used to cost just slightly more for a year subscription instead of renewing month-by-month. There was even a lost thread about it on the f4w board but I couldn't find it at the time and nobody here believed me because it sounded too dumb to be true. Well after going back to look for the thread I finally found it along with Bryan Alvarez's response.

Yeah I didn't agree with Dave on that either. I have a feeling Brock will be cheered. Another thing he said on the previous WOR that I thought was wrong was an email question that asked what it would take for Vince McMahon to lose faith in Roman Reigns and he said "solid fan rejection". I think that's wrong because there was a significant number of crowds over the years that solidly rejected Cena and it only reinforced his push. The real answer is solid fan indifference.
