I'm not really familiar with the WON hall of fame, how serious business is it?

It's voted on by actual wrestling industry people and has rules for eligibility and categories and poo poo so it's kinda serious business but I really don't understand why anyone gets upset about it.

Dave has fully internalized twitter at this point. From this week’s observer:

quote:

As far as Omega goes, on 1/9, he signed his new contract so it is official he’s with New Japan through January 31, 2019, so he won’t be in the Royal Rumble this year (or next year), or WrestleMania, which no doubt won’t keep people from speculating on his role in those shows daily.

At first I was like "I would do this poo poo for free" but then I rememberer Dave and Bryan both are pretty fuckin stubborn about poo poo that I don't think they could draw up the funds to afford my time.

I've talked to Bryan a couple of times and he's actually not stubborn about this type of stuff at all and is a genuinely good dude AFAIK

I guess I disagree his apology is genuine. I mean, the guy took over a half-hour with his trademark parade of tangents to essentially say “I was wrong, I apologize, a lot of people told me I shouldn’t have apologized, but I did, here’s all the ways I’ve been good otherwise, and look hey here are some other reasons why me discussing her body was valid, it’s a looks business and hey that’s just part of it!”

I believe that he believes that he misspoke and said something dumb. I don’t truly believe he actually understands what part of what he said is inappropriate. I also think it’s lovely that he can’t help but drop in the whole “a lot of people don’t think I should be doing this!” thing that is basically a wink and nod to his listenership that their feelings, if they run counter to Peyton Royce’s, are still valid.

I don’t think he’s a bad person, it’s not going to make me unsubscribe, but I think the criticism is fair.

This is a bad take

I seldom listen to WOL but I definitely wanna follow this Saudi Arabia nonsense as closely as I can. Hearing Bryan say “a majority of the talent doesn’t wanna go” and then me slowly realizing that it’ll be a sponsor issue way faster than it becomes a labor issue was pretty crushing tbh.

Yeah, Dave was right on WOR when he said that if any wrestlers speak out they’ll be looking for work pretty soon afterwards.

I remember two(?) years ago, he said over and over again that no one who isn’t a absolute Hall of Famer could ever get in. Today he said Jimmy Hart wasn’t qualified on the podcast that announced his induction.

He strait up said this year and potentially next year will have suspect people. I’m confused.

Not everything is some elaborate behind-the-scenes political ploy. It's just a TV show. Meltzer and Bryan just liked the angle, which in fact lots of people like.

I mean, okay I guess it is at least possible in theory that Dave Meltzer is working an angle to put over Ronda Rousey to his podcast subscribers for some kind of nefarious behind-the-scenes reason but that sounds like working yourself into a shoot because it's just a TV show. If you actually believe Meltzer is taking your money to lie to you about the quality of a TV show he rips on multiple times a week, you should probably not subscribe to his podcast.

lol nobody pushing meltzer conspiracy theories subscribes or even listens to the podcast

When Jericho had Dave on his podcast in January 2018 to talk about the podcast there is a bit where he is talking about the arguments about how to take the belt off Bret. One idea mooted was for Shane to shoot on Bret and get it that way and Dave mentioned one person got annoyed and told them it'd end up with their new champion getting beat up and losing all credibility. He named no names but my brain inserted Cornette anyway.

I love the little detail that before the screwjob, Gerald Brisco was trying to give Shawn a crash course in self defense so that if Bret attacked him in the ring he might get out of there without getting wrecked
