I still really like Bryan and Vinny and Craig, but if Dave was always paired with Jim instead of Bryan that would be preferable imo.

Rick posted:Sure sounds a lot like Vince is trying to make PPVs a thing again considering they're now being mentioned before the network. Which speaks to Dave's theory that the split between VInce and the people he fired was that they were network-above-all people. Or at least that's how his brain has framed it. I thought it was that they were pushing hard for maximizing profit over preventing the rise of competition with all these talent contracts and NXT expansion and the like.

I just want to say that the take of 'people these days don't have enough attention span for a two hour wrestling show' is so dumb in a world where people regularly prefer binge watching an entire season of TV in one evening. Lance is right that shows would be better off if they built to big main events, though.

If you do any more of these, you might want to consider boosting the Nitro audio levels a bit, I found those parts kinda quiet compared to the podcast audio. Glad you liked it! I tried to boost the episode audio more but it seemed to start clipping. Might have to break down and get a real video editor (I'm using Hitfilm Express) so I can use a Compressor or at least a Limiter on the audio.

An early showing for the Punchsporters (I don't want to do the slideshow poo poo for Youtube tonight)... Bryan and Vinny vs. Nitro and Russo Episode 2 - WCW Review with Video - Oct 25th 1999 Phew, this was a Russoriffic, packed episode of Nitro. Crash TV is kicking in properly the second week of Russo's run. This one was a bit tougher an edit than the last one. So much happens in rapid succession, and repeated elements make the episode feel more samey. Bryan and Vinny start to break down before the end and I don't blame them. FEATURING: The Powers To Be, a worked shoot, Yaks, Randy Savage madness, kidnapping, refusing to do the J.O.B., a tag match featuring a porn star, Ric Flair getting buried in the desert, Bryan making a boisterous penis size declaration, Boobapedia, career ending cardboard boxes, huge cameras, Goldberg killing fools, Charlie Steiner, Rey Mysterio humping like a dog, a ref botch, Madusa kicking really hard, a title change, and 3 HOURS OF... well, you'll find out. Let's err on the safe side and declare this Semi-NSFW. Don't watch Russo era WCW at work, people.

Well, took me three weeks instead of one this time, but oh well! I did it! Bryan and Vinny vs. Nitro and Russo - WCW Review with Video - Nov 1st, 1999 Was harder to have motivation for this one. Lance Storm is on this episode, for all two or three times he talks, I think he might've changed the vibe in the room, at least at first, and it took longer for the guys to get more into their shenanigans. There also wasn't so much opportunity for visual gags and creative editing stuff in this one. More of a straightforward review. Still, plenty of goofy stuff in this episode. There's a moment in this where Bret says "SCREW YOU SCOTT" and it's just so Canadian, I couldn't explain why but his accent, what he's saying, it's perfect  Includes: A really bad Vince impression, a woman kidnapped and put in a shark cage, a Something On a Pole match, a seriously weird production botch, Lex Luger hamming it up, Sid falling for a terrible disguise, superfluous chains, a random turn, Vince Russo mocking a heartfelt plea, seduction and making out in the ring, Bret Hart being very Canadian, a truly awful tournament, Norman Smiley in a catcher's outfit, Goldberg on the set of Ready 2 Rumble, the Nitro Girls feuding with each other... you know, I just realized, when Kimberly said she had more important things to do than be in the Nitro Girls, she meant she was gonna hit David Flair with a car I guess. Bigger and better things! The video on Dailymotion: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x81n45u I will put it up on Youtube later but it'll be slideshowy so I won't bother posting it here. Probably still won't process into HD but it's not like Nitro was in HD in the first place.

Penguin Patrol posted:This was my favorite one yet. Thank you for your efforts. Thanks! Glad people are enjoying it. Oh, it did go up in HD, this time, too. Weird! I don't know that AEW is like an artsy indie movie, I think it's more like an indie action movie, significantly smarter than what Hollywood is offering, but not too self-serious, and definitely better at knowing what the audience wants and delivering it with intensity. Eat My Fuc posted:Dave and Bryan both thought Ogogo wasn’t ready and that he didn’t have the basics down. I think his gimmick sucks but thought he looked pretty okay overall so I don’t know why they were so down on it. I think this is less about his in-ring and more about how well he's been accepted by the audience, if I read it right listening to it. I heard it as "him beating Cody will mean more when the crowd sees him as a big enough deal that they really want it". El Generico fucked around with this message at 04:23 on Jun 1, 2021 |

NikkolasKing posted:I don't understand business stuff. I don't understand business stuff either but this is my interpretation of the stuff I've heard and I think I'm being accurate. The most likely buyer would be NBC Universal, since they own USA Network and Peacock, they're already giving WWE a lot of money, so it makes sense. Vince wouldn't own it any more but he'd probably still have a lot of stock and could be kept on to run the thing. They could concievably get rid of him if they wanted to, but they probably wouldn't, it doesn't really make sense to value the WWE enough to buy it and then get rid of the guy who built it and is in charge of everything. Concievably, Disney could buy it, or ViacomCBS, as well. WWE's dream scenario would be to have two or more of these media conglomerates outbidding each other.

I'm baaaaack! Bryan and Vinny vs. Nitro and Russo - WCW Review with Video - Episode 4 - Nov 8th 1999 Dailymotion: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x82s9og (Might be in HD if you wait a bit, might not) Glad to be back in the saddle with BaVvNaR, after some personal issues kept me from being able to for a while, and this is a hell of an episode to come back to, as the boys tackle a truly awful episode of Nitro, perhaps the worst wrestling show ever seen? You be the judge. (But no, Heroes of Wrestling is worse.) This one took a while to edit for the same reason it took B&V a long time to cover: so many segments. Just so many. I also had to get this edit under an hour due to Dailymotion's video duration limit, which I didn't know about until I ran up against it! FEATURING: An awesome Vinny rant, stalking and menacing, fake news, terrible finishes, Goldberg playing dressup and playing hide and go seek, still the worst tournament ever, still dog-like humping, Liz being manhandled, a very expensive toilet scrubber, a fake fight that's worse than Jenna vs. Sharmell, Seven, a fake injury, a very chill rebellious punk youth, just so many Creative Control run-ins, Torrie Wilson, Bam Bam Bigelow being lost outside time and space, broken car windows, and the dumbest finish to a ladder match ever.

People like Bryan have to understand that the PTSD wrestling fans have from so many years of WWE refusing to pull the trigger on guys has taught them that if the trigger isn't pulled pretty quickly, that it will never be pulled and they may as well stop being emotionally invested. If Page doesn't win the title there's no saying whether the fans will still be as hot, let alone hotter, for it whenever they do it in the future. You can't draw it out super long, maybe you will be able to in the future.

Bryan and Vinny vs. Nitro and Russo - WCW Review with Video - Nov 15th 1999 Told you this one would come about faster. Actually this is a little slower than I would've preferred, but the second dose of vaxx got me. WCW couldn't help but improve on last week's possible worst ever episode, but there's still plenty of bad here to gawk at, including more bad finishes, more bad comedy and wacky shenanigans, and more SEGMENTS, plus one digression that once more has me flagging this vid as semi-NSFW! I hid all the explicit visuals but maybe don't listen to this in front of your co-workers or family, OK? Not as many chances for silly editing, or for keeping good promos in, but hey, that means these take less time, right? Next vid, we're taking a break from Russo Nitros to have a look at a Russo Impact, one of the B&V episodes I've relistened to the most for some reason. I haven't re-watched this one super closely after my edit so if there's some flaws lemme know. FEATURING: Full plate armour, laced brownies, Midnight Dong, being booked to be dumb, another bad Nitro Girls fake fight, Groupon, math, another terrible finish, Oklahoma getting destroyed, and lots more!

There's just a visceral emotional experience to watching the more dangerous stuff that's exciting and scary and fun. Everybody's got a line, the Gage/Jericho match didn't go past mine, but there is stuff out there that does. Ideally if you get just up to the line for the most people possible and it's a lot safer than it seems you can hit that sweet spot and do something really exciting.

Glad people are still excited about it and enjoying it. Gonna get back to work on it. I want to do an episode of Russo TNA, but it might be really short, because they rant up top more than they actually review the show, but that's probably fine.EDIT: To be specific, I want to do the 10/14/10 Impact, the one after Bound for Glory where Jeff Hardy turned heel and Hulk Hogan stole TNA from Dixie Carter. This is also the one where they booked Snooki from Jersey Shore on their show, which was running head to head with a brand new episode of Jersey Shore, ensuring no fans of the show would watch to see her. sleepwalkers posted:bryan's gimmick really rubbed me the wrong way originally but I've since come to enjoy it. I think being able to see him grinning ear to ear on video makes it even funnier. This actually saved the Tom Lawlor shows for me. It seemed too much like they were actually fighting all the time, I got uncomfortable, but seeing them grinning at each other the whole time is reassuring that all their banter is actually friendly.

Sorry for double-posting. Bryan and Vinny vs. TNA and Russo - Impact Review with Video - Oct 14th 2010 VIDEO: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x8379lk A digression from the usual chronological format to have a look at an episode of Impact and a B&V review that stick in my mind for some reason. The Jeff Hardy heel turn era is memorable to me. The stable, Immortal, is a hodge podge of people who don't go together, Jeff's promos are delivered with this weird accent and this ridiculous melodrama, Rob Van Dam has the super dumb and funny version of his music, and of course Hogan and Bischoff are back to their old tricks, and they're nowhere near as novel as they were over a decade previous. Hogan is the top heel leader of this dominant rear end in a top hat faction while recovering from back surgery and actually needing crutches. This show contains constant talking segments and almost no wrestling, plus a terrible, pointless celebrity cameo to promote an act that was only two weeks old. This really is peak Russo, like maybe WCW was able to tame him a bit compared to this. FEATURING: J-WOWW, talking, The version of Abyss that loves Hulk Hogan but now he's a heel, another dildo, Samoa Joe at the beach, talking, bad legal advice, god dang it, Gunner and Murphy, talking, The Anti-Christ of Professional Wrestling, swerves, a Four Horsemen knockoff team, talking, TNA Reaction, a bad catfight, another fingerpoke style title change, talking, and more talking.
