I loved the clip when Seth was making an rear end of himself on Twitter during the title reign and Dave finally got the chance for revenge on the "minus six stars" thing. OK, Bryan, so, well, you know, if you had a wrestling promotion, and, well, I was one of the wrestlers, one of the top guys, but not really the top guy? It's like, whatever, I guess he'll have to be the top guy, but then another promotion has this other top guy who they're really, you know, counting on, and you're the guy who's just been made the guy, whatever, people don't want that, but you're the guy, and and Bryan mercifully cut it at 10 minutes before Dave got to say Rollins sucked. Terrific radio.

He had one about tilling the land to explain why WWE programming sucks and AEW programming largely doesn't that went on for about 20 minutes, but I guess that's just how podcasts gotta be. "Vince is bad" would've sufficed

IMO Britt/Rosa wasn't that good; a lot of dead spots in the match when they're just strolling around. In the growing genre of matches that Britt Baker gets hosed all the way up in, I liked Britt/Shida around when the pandemic was starting better. Dead on about Dave valuing technical precision. Remember, he docked the first Taker/HBK Mania match because of the blown dive-onto-the-cameraman spot.

Semp alleging they screwed up Alexa Bliss when they called her up from NXT. What? She had the SD women's title within months, then went to Raw and held that one for most of a year! e: Dango Bango posted:I'm afraid I've got some bad news.

My favorite part of retro Raw is reliving just how absolutely dire the WWF midcard was even when the company was turning it around. Vinny's vendetta against the Headbangers sucking is always funny.

Semp gets 3 minutes of talk time to make a point he could easily make in 8 seconds. It's funny that in a product that actively, rightfully hates WWE's "let's see where it goes" schtick, half of Semp's lines are some version of "we'll just have to wait and see."RealFoxy posted:Sempervivie has always turned every thought into a fillerbuster. He's a different kind of scatter-brain than Dave is. Semp tends to just make his point the first time and spend the next couple minutes revising the first sentences like he's rewriting a paper for length. Unlike big Dave, Semp knows where he's going with a point, it's just that he has a quota of "the fact of the matter is" and "reality of the situation is" he's gotta get in D.N.

in anticipation of next B&V&C, I just rewatched Kronik/Brothers of Destruction '01. The first half of it....isn't even that bad? It's a time-filling, plodding, RAW-worthy match, but not the disaster I was expecting. But then all of a sudden, Crush acts like he has no idea where he is and stops selling, and it gets worse, and worse, and worse, and exponentially worse, and they're going between "missing moves by 6 inches" and "legit shooting on each other" and back again. If you were to tell me Crush legit had a stroke midmatch, I'd believe you. Or if they were dead set on it being a 5-minute squash and then the ref told them they had to go 10 once they got to the end of their ideas. So yeah. Turned from being just as meh as current RAW to an all-time trainwreck on a dime. A fascinating watch. e: apparently Taker and the brass came down harder on Bryan Clark? Huh. Crush looked way worse.

He didn't used to but IMO he gets weirdly defensive these days when he loves something in AEW. Just say you love it! It's OK, it rules! Or maybe Semp's qualifying-every-thought-with-87-"we'll just have to see"-clauses has rotted his brain

Jerusalem posted:I know you Americans are sick of hearing it, but listening to the newest Figure Four with Bryan and Lance and Jesus loving Christ you guys pay criminal amounts of money for healthcare I got a letter from my healthcare provider that they actually weren't going to cover the knee surgery I had gotten two months before because technically, I could still walk. (Then they sent another letter saying nevermind, your orthopedist changed our minds.) So think of it this way: While it may be true that American healthcare is prohibitively expensive, at least it's also terrible about customer service and incredibly inefficient!
