Marty and Sarah Love Wrestling on the MLW network is pretty fun and has a refreshingly different format than "wheezing shut-ins talk for 3+ hours". It's basically like Comedy Bang Bang but about wrestling, and it probably has the fewest Bad Opinions out of all the wrestlepods I listen to.

They're a little too WWE oriented for my tastes but Marty's an awesome dude.

I finally caught up on Cornette's appearance on Jericho's podcast and it was a blast, and it was nice to hear Starmaker Kenny there too since for some reason I thought the two had had a real life falling out.

I gave up on the Experience as a regular listen back when he did that episode ranting about Muslims, but there still isn't much better than hearing Cornette enthusiastically explain old school wrestling stuff. His explanation of how to properly work an ether spot was really entertaining.

JCE is Cornette screaming murderwords at Trump(sometimes entertaining) and occasional interviews.
Drive-Thru is mostly old wrasslin chat.

It's kinda of amazing how many lows The Undertaker gimmick was able to survive. Out of any top level guy the gimmick had way more of it's share than anybody else.

if you're some dipshit midwest kid, Undertaker was the scariest thing on saturday morning television. The charles manson-esque antics of Undertaker during the early part of the attitude era were pretty much keeping with the character. Also it helps the Taker lived the gimmick in a way that didn't get him arrested or shitfaced in rehab.

Is there somewhere that summarizes the whole Elgin situation? I see snippets of things here and on twitter but I’m not really sure what has happened.

Here's the deal as best as I can summarize:
-Lady gets sexually assaulted at an Elgin-promoted show by an Elgin-trained wrestler
-When confronted about it, Elgin decided she was lying and did nothing
-Elgin, for whatever, reason keeps a communication line open to the woman.
-Elgin says repeatedly lovely things to her like "are you gonna suck my dick or what"
-Also said bizzare things "Jeff Cobb smells bad" and "I'm the #2 gaijin in NJPW everyone loves me"
-Lady screencaps all this and after realizing Elgin wasn't going to do poo poo, goes public
-Elgin flips out, reiterates she's a liar, whore, etc etc.
-War Machine took their 30 second camera walkin promo spot during the NJPW entrances and exits to loudly proclaim "gently caress MICHAEL ELGIN"
-word in the air is that NJPW is none too pleased with this situation and are looking very closely at if they should cut Elgin or not
-Dave Meltzer takes Elgin's side in all this, tries to downplay it, engages in victim blaming on his radio show
-when questioned on the Board, Meltzer's proof was some tumblr-level blog post saying Elgin is absolved and Lady really is bad because she has sex and stuff.

Someone getting hurt, even if its not sexual abuse/rape is damning to a promoter. The last thing you do is ignore that it happened. Doing nothing says you do not give a single gently caress about the people coming to see your shows. Being lovely to fans, also damning.

Dave was pretty darned negative on Elgin on the radio show and the closest thing to victim blaming was wondering why Elgin would say all of this to someone who clearly had no interest in keeping his secrets. All part of like a 5 minute rant about how Elgin is a moron. Part of this because Elgin decided to DM with notorious twitter shitposter VicVenomBytes about the situation who then leaked it and became more hated by the British than Nazis.

The main issues are he's printed several of Elgin's statements, got the accusation wrong posted that Elgin plans to sue and now the tumblr link. Linking to the tumblr being the worst, but it was posted in response to questioning why he hadn't interviewed the victim, who now accuses Dave of running the tumblr.

Edit: To be clear I do not like how Dave is handling this one bit, but some of the accusations about what he's said are unfair. Same with Bix getting pre-emptively dragged last night.

Maybe Dave shouldnt have led with "boy Elgin sure picked the wrong woman to confide in" cuz all I heard after that was my own internal screaming.

here's the lady in her own words if you really wanna know how messy this poo poo is:

Can I get an example of what you guys consider a good english-speaking PBP announcer that is currently working? Because the impression I get is that you'd prefer there be no commentary, or to listen to Funaki and the other dude yell in Japanese over Gargano/Almas.

Lenny motherfucking Leonard. That dude is the absolute gold standard for what commentary should be. He's a relatively sober voice in an area where most people do stupid poo poo or say jokes because that's what wrestlign is to them. While I love antics like MJF and Hathaway in the booth, its a real delicate line between being cute in the dead spots to actively making GBS threads all over a match. Lenny calls the poo poo straight, runs down their cagematch stats and basically just narrates the action.

Aubrey Sitterson is one of those guys that jacks off to TMZ style coverage and doesn't give a single gently caress about wrestler's privacy. I could be wrong, because I smoke a lot of weed and all these garbage people tend to blend together after a while.

He's also managed to rattle the gently caress out of GI Joe fandom

Meltzer's in the wrong on this one. He should not have published her name, out of human decency. Dropping enough details for a background pull is crazy dangerous and especially with weirdo wrestling fans. Remember that forums poster that called HHH? The weird airport stalker dudes?

I can't tell if that's an intentional attempt by Dave to sick dogs on someone or he genuinely didn't think that poo poo through.

Oh and that guy that wrote the Dave Hit Piece? He's a dweeb, gently caress him.
