Late Night Dave is something else.

He's also having a good ol' time at the moment cracking jokes at HHH's expense:

Meltzer: Wait a minute when you follow a match like that, aren't you supposed to not be able to get the crowd into it.Or is that only for HHH bouts.
Meltzer: Just kidding, HHH really is an all-time great.
WrestlingFan: HHH is an all time great. One of the best storytellers and in-ring technicians.
Meltzer: He's absolutely great at knowing when to do what. Except if he's facing Bill Goldberg.

This was all after initially appearing as a face that wanted Stephanie to have sex with him to sign on Smackdown.

I want to stress this, because it's very, very important. This is how the storyline went, literally without any exaggeration on my part:

- Steiner's "price" for being signed to Smackdown was that he would get to have sex with Stephanie
- Stephanie happily agreed to whore herself out to get Steiner on Smackdown
- Steiner then declared that he wanted to have sex with her in the ring on live television RIGHT NOW
- Stephanie blanched at the idea but assured Steiner she would be happy to sell her body to him in private in order to sign him to Smackdown
- Steiner, offended that Stephanie wasn't down with being hosed in front of a crowd of 15000 people and 4-5 million viewers in America (and tens of millions worldwide), decided to go to Raw instead
- Steiner was a Face

But in the end I think the biggest ration of blame for the angle having issues is that Scott Steiner's persona doesn't translate very well to being a Face.

This is very accurate. Guy should have been a heel from the start.

The Scott Steiner/HHH feud was one of my favorite wrestling things ever. Arm wrestling, pose downs, attempted prostitution, bench pressing (sadly, cancelled), and incredible Steiner promos. The only bad thing was the wrestling and the fact that HHH of course went over.

It's easy to forget since Steiner looked so awful in the Rumble match, but be actually "won" the match when Triple H panicked and got himself deliberately disqualified.

Somebody in New Japan needs to call @JRsBBQ I can't even imagine how awesome Okada vs Goto or Ishii vs. Naito would be with him calling.

While I'd love to see it too, it's pretty funny to see a guy like Meltzer posting the same type of thing you'd likely see any pro-wrestling fan post online.

Well I imagine at this stage in his life, JR wouldn't be too keen on the idea of living in (or even traveling once a month to) Japan and getting to grips with an entirely new stable of wrestlers, and having to tell stories about them in the ring based on secondhand translations, not to mention working out the correct pronunciation of their names.

I don't doubt he could call one hell of a match, but it is such a far out there concept that it might as well be fantasy booking.

Kinda off topic, but why did WWE hate Ryder and bury him so much? Was it as simple as him taking the initiative to get himself over in a non-WWE controlled way via his Youtube show?

Apparently (and I'm basing this on third hand accounts AT BEST!) for all his griping about having something to offer and not getting any chances, he never once actually approached anyone backstage with ideas or questions or suggestions, and just meekly did whatever he was told to do without question. On those few times where WWE did give him time/opportunities he would fail to deliver, though to be fair they also spent lots of time making him look as idiotic as possible.

False. He has sucked rear end until his recent emergence as God of Twitter.

I remember somebody posting stuff he used to do as Skip Sheffield back during the early NXT days (before the Nexus Invasion) and while he remained in his goofy persona he demonstrated a similar kind of wit. In particular I remember one about him being on a plane and some dude was going nuts and needed to be physically restrained and people kept looking at Skip hoping he would get up and do something since he was so big, and he just didn't give a gently caress and was chilling out in his seat.

What the gently caress goes through Hayes mind when he puts that poo poo on? Cuz he wears that poo poo every year. Does he think its unique and he's just able to pull it off? Is it to shock and show he's just too cool to follow normal dressing attire rules? gently caress it looks bad. What a loving idiot.

I think he still thinks he looks like this:



You can get away with pretty outrageous fashion when you're young, tall, and lean, but not so much when you're old and fat*. Imagine Shinsuke Nakamura in 20 years and 200 pounds still wearing the same stuff he does now.

* Though to be fair, when you're old and fat you probably literally don't give a gently caress and you're gonna do what you want anyway and to hell with what anybody else has to say.

Even if he was just cynically using them with absolutely no other interest other than making a buck out of them, he'd still deserve credit because what he has done is a miracle and Jake and Scott are both in a tremendously better place because of it.
