Prichard Show is the only one I listen to with any sort of regularity, and even then I'll just seek out highlights people upload to YouTube

My favorite Mike Lano moment was him throwing a towel on his head and coming to the ring alongside Sheik and Sabu for no apparent reason:

quote:

It was certainly steep for an introductory speech from someone who has no training or experience in any field that would appear to be directly relevant. When Low-Ki (who is going by his real name, Brandon Silvestry, for this venture) attempted to start the Q&A portion of the event, he had to switch the Zoom conference call window to one that showed everyone who was on the call. There were three other than Low-Ki: Myself, a man who turned out to be “oatgan,” a Twitter personality and prolific forum poster, and a woman named Krystal. At most, for the appetizer for Low-Ki’s new career, he made $75. It’s possible, though, that he made less: Krystal was called on first, and had a noticeable rehearsed quality to her question, which did little more than let Ki go on more about his issues with technology, a key topic from earlier. It’s entirely possible that she was genuine, but if she was, she was the only one, as the other two paying customers were a reporter and someone clearly watching for comedy value.

I never equated the two, I only said that two things can be bad simultaneously and that criticizing one doesn’t mean endorsing or ignoring the other. It’s a pretty disingenuous way to approach a disagreement. Let me guess, I can’t rail against late-stage capitalism from an iPhone either, can I?

Supporting identity politics is supporting late-stage capitalism

At this point I'm just annoyed at both sides. I feel like it was obvious Dave was trying to comment on her surgery and is too much of a weirdo to not just say it and instead said something way worse.

Also wanted to avoid a HIPAA violation lawsuit, I'd guess.

But then trying to goad him into stating her medical situation/reveal his source is an rear end in a top hat move since they know he can't.

I'm by no means an attorney but I'm pretty sure HIPAA doesn't apply to journalists who notice fake boobs.

I mean, he's been skirting around outright saying stuff like "Cena looks like he's on steroids" by saying "Cena looks bigger" or "Cena looks smaller" for years

Joey Styles is MAGA shithead, so no, this is for the best.

I still want him to spill the beans about his stint in XPW

Apparently he worked the one show for them, then found out Rob Black was a pornographer who was storing porn DVDs at the ECW Arena, and he went straight to his lawyer to get out of the deal

Gertner's table was set up next to the bar on Saturday afternoon at Starrcast. We sat at the bar for probably an hour and maybe five people walked up to him the entire time we were there -- and one of those five was Buff Bagwell.

Was he still wearing the neckbrace

The HoF really should be limited to 40+ with an option that if they decease before then THEN they can be eligible. I know he always cites Satoru Sayama but Sayama was 39 when he went in on the debut of the HoF anyway even if it was for just his two years as Tiger Mask.

Make it like the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame - 25 years after your debut you become eligible, alive or dead

For Omega that would be 2025

How often did Sid do a kip-up?

I saw him do one at the Herb Abrams' Blackjack Brawl show of all places, but I'm not familiar with most of his pre-1995 career to know if he did that a lot

if Dave got some of his 90's/80's All Japan and New Japan tapes from Japanese grocery stores he's probably sitting on a treasure trove of commercials and content that may be lost not just on the wrestling side (Probably the same for some of the older territory stuff if they still had commercials)

Funny, I just read this story yesterday:

After re-reading all the 90s Observers, I think he's a scum sucking piece of poo poo who exploited the hell out of his workers, paid them in drugs and painkillers, repeatedly bounced their checks, and lied his rear end off to everyone possible trying to save his own rear end. There's no one he wouldn't gently caress over, no one he would remain loyal to. Not a single word he said was trustworthy from the beginning until the end. He ruined people's credit, career prospects, and their health for ultimately nothing and then kept doing it even when it was obvious the thing was going to die. Also never seemed to give a poo poo about the danger to the fans and event staff from the rowdy, undersized venues he repeatedly ran. Always found someone else to blame. It was always someone else's fault.

Compare that to Cornette who shut down SMW when he realized it could never make money, even when his desperate workers were offering to help float it another few months. He didn't see a point in beating the dead horse and taking their money.

My #1 favorite Heyman story was him offering New Jack $5000 and an 8-ball of coke to bump off the Interstate above ECW Arena

For those unaware of how loving high that is
