This reminds me of the recent WOR interview with the Anthem guy who was clearly a business guy forced to rehab a wrestling company that has no revenue.

Bryan doing THE MATH on why there'll never be a boom period like that again was great too.
I was digging through some old posts and remembered the WWE survey claiming over 100 million wrestling fans in the US.

How Kurt didn't win the WON rookie of the year award in 1999 (Blitzkrieg did) is lifes biggest mystery.
Kurt was in Memphis and mostly worked dark matches until Survivor Series.

Dave was very briefly on the 30 For 30 Podcast about UFC 1. Nothing new but they interviewed Shamrock, Gracie and other fighters in addition to Art Davie.

Between The Sheets is about 1998 this week. Goldberg is definitely losing to Nash but who knows what will follow?

quote:

there was also serious talk that the end result of this would be for Nash to re-join the black & white at that point and possibly even hand the belt to Hogan, and this was the first time it was made clear that wasn't happening.

The reasons to get upset are Dave understating his own influence with voters and some questionable people from the 1996 class that got in on Dave and basically a veterans committee vs. those who were excluded.

What do you guys think about Morales as a HoFer? Seems a bit of a stretch to me based on what little I know but I don't pretend to have enough of a grasp on 1970's wrestling to really judge him
Everyone who drew that much for that long in New York is in.
Somebody on the F4W frontpage made the case for him.

It's a dumb backdoor attempt to get guys in who had years to break 60% on their own. Edge is fine but his last run was not HOF stuff and I like the idea of Better Than Edge as the standard for Modern US more than I care if he gets in. Not coincidentally this standard puts an end to any consideration of Orton.

Show Dave that indie wrestling matters and vote Cody for Best Box Office Draw.

Forgot to mention it earlier but Dave 100% not saying Conor does cocaine was a fun part of WOR.

If you care about drawing start screaming about Caristico only getting 25%. The Mexico logjam isn't bad enough to gently caress over the biggest star on the ballot and Ultimo Guerrero is not close enough to falling off to justify a bump to 50%.

Smoking Crow posted:

Is the Torch worth reading? What makes it different from the Observer besides the fact Dave writes one and Wade the other?
The Torch has more distinct columns and sections than WON. More live reports from indies rather than results + "said to be a 4 star match." The best Torch content is the Bruce Mitchell podcast and archival stuff if you want deep dives into major stuff like steroid trial or WCW shutting down. Observer Live archives go back to ~1999 but Wade has some ancient interviews and radio shows worth checking out.

Does anyone know the unspoken reason Stacy Carter or Mike Howell got fired? Given the endless salacious stuff everyone knows from that marriage I'm at a loss why something would be held back.

I blame ROH for not using Dijak well more than WWE for poaching early. He was a star in every smaller promotion and worked his rear end off finishing dates in front of 100 people. Obviously I can't defend what NXT has done since signing
