Raw is half over and WO hasn't updated any of the recap. Usually they don't recap the last segment until the following morning on the site. I don't know if it's an issue with Dave, Nason, or Hamlin, but I like to pretend it's Hamlin since I hate the way he recaps Raw.

I started listening to the Death of WCW audiobook, and is it just me or is it really not that....good? Like, it's great stories, but it's just written kinda...eh. They tell the Madusa trash can story twice in a short amount of time, and jump back and forth between time frames.

Over/Under on Final Deletion characters making Top 10 vote getters in "Best Non Wrestler": 2.5

I'll take the over and say Senor Benjamin wins the category, and King Maxel and Vanguard-1 place in the top 10.

It's honestly an issue with how Bryan has to read everything as it appears in the book in order, whether or not it was originally meant as an aside that the reader could read if they wanted and not miss anything in the narrative.

It's not so much the sidebar sounding stuff; it's the repeating things multiple times. Like, in 20 minutes I heard twice about how Giant debuted and was being booked as Son of Andre.

Jerusalem posted:

Any idea which show it was? All I can recall them saying is that he called in and he wasn't happy about it, but they weren't going to do anything about it because they were thrilled by the situation!

01/15/2007.

Bryan and Vinny were most definitely NOT thrilled with the situation and explicitly said how hosed up it was that he was involuntarily committed to an insane asylum.

Thanks. I'm just basing it on what they said on whatever show they referenced it on, when they seemed to treat the whole thing as a joke.

I imagine it's easy to look back on a situation like that and see it in a different light, but they were pretty clear at the time that they legit thought this was a a loving terrible thing to happen to a person who, while he may be extraordinarily awkward, is no threat to himself or others.

Has Bryan ever been right about anything? All I can think of are times where he's not NOT been wrong, but never right.

This goes for both predictions and his own opinions.

Did anyone listen live and hear what he did? Bryan edited it out of the show.


Then again, who cares?


Oh man, who was the guy who called in and started talking about Taker retiring in his thirty-third year of wrestling being a reference to Jesus dying at 33? Was it Ryan? Amazing.

That was Ryan. Kenny just called in and did a super-rapid fire Torch plug at the top of his voice and then started calling Bryan and Semp bigger bullies than JBL on the board.

Edit: Note that Ryan apparently spent 45 minutes on hold waiting to ask that question.

I have no idea what YAMMA is, but there are a half dozen B&V shows that cover it. Should I listen to them all?

It's an April 2008 show. I guess it's only as funny if you know what a no good horrible very bad shitshow the only YAMMA show was.

I mean, between the two Omega matches, Suzuki, Shibata, Tiger Mask W, and whatever happens during G1, is Okada on pace to have the best year any pro wrestler has ever had?

Over/under on Okada matches in top 10 during the year end awards?: 6.5. I'm honestly taking the over at this point.
