Is there, indeed, anything really salvageable out of it? Big Dave has him with four matches above four stars from 2002-2004: vs. HBK & Benoit, WrestleMania 20 & Backlash vs HBK on 12/29/03 Raw vs HBK at SummerSlam 2002

What’s the TL;DR on Will Ospreay being an idiot on social media? I’m only aware of the time he tried to lecture Sadie Gibbs(?) on the importance of giving a good impression to Japanese companies when she had to leave Stardom due to a death in the family.

Vandar posted:So I'm looking at some stats over on Cagematch, and uh...I've got a question. WWE never became a five star contender until NXT got hot, New Japan was rebuilding, All Japan & NOAH were flailing some, lucha and the U.S. indies weren't regularly rated by Dave, and TNA was TNA.

Yeah, there was a period where the only things Dave rated consistently were WWE and TNA. I do worry that now, as over-emphasized his star ratings are, the fact that he’s really only reviewing major WWE, NJPW, and AEW shows consistently (off the top of my head) means things like AAA and OTT’s recent runs will not get as much exposure as they should.

I've been watching some early 90s WCW and Tony is pretty darn good in this era. He also suffered from being not as good as Jim Ross in a time period where their shows competed directly against each other in the Monday Night Wars.ChrisBTY posted:Life starts at 63.

Tony also seems to genuinely love modern wrestling as much as the old stuff, so that makes his work ring as an actual enthusiast who commentates. That also contrasts with modern JR who, at times, audibly sounds like he’d rather be anywhere else in the world.

karmicknight posted:It honestly adds to the Bob Holly mythos so much that it takes him from "bullying dickhead" to "oh he's just very dumb" so I'm inclined to agree with your reality. I was trying to read about the neck injury. This is from the 9/23/02 WON, where Dave was writing about a house show in St. Louis. "Show ending was the Angle over Rikishi stink face match which saw Gunn try and help Angle make Rikishi kiss his rear end, but alas, Rikishi cleaned house on both and both got a double stink face. Even after the angle on Smackdown, Billy & Chuck played heels and also played a gay act. Seems Hardcore Holly told the crowd that he knew they were still queers, which got a face pop and Billy & Chuck played both the act up and played heel for the heat." The first WON where it actually mentioned Holly had a neck injury was October 7. There was no mention of sandbagging through the October WONs.

It just feels like it’s well outside of his wheelhouse from the first half of his book which I read - he may be an rear end in a top hat, but he’s an rear end in a top hat that seems like he has never intentionally made a pun in his entire life, let alone a pun based on an atrocity.
