GLOBAL FORCE WRESTLING~! (The Jarrett Thread)
rovert replied to RIPPA's topic in The PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING
Remember when Jimmy Hart continued on with XWF about five years after the TV tapings. -
No worries. Just different times these days. There are people who think the Observer is JUST news and nothing else.
-
i'm happy too. There is World Series of Fighting and Glory PPV (also on Spike) this weekend so he will cover that. There are two UFCs next Saturday to make up for this weekend. Bellator, drug testing etc still dominate discussion even on an off week sadly.
-
Sure. Yeah. Whatever you want. Just put them on ignore already. I don't why see why they aren't warned to be honest. They pick the fight I don't. Also when they pick the fight others take it as a green light to troll/personally attack too. So even if I do put them on ignore it only helps matters so much and threads will get derailed anyway.

20 years only gets you to 1994. I would hope he knows a little more than Undertaker vs. Undertaker at SummerSlam. You do realise that Meltzer writes history pieces, bios and obituaries right? Or are you attempting a joke? I am honestly unsure about this place nowadays. A few years ago you could take it as red that everyone at least at one time subscribed to the Observer.
-
Oh God Soccer banter Why wouldn't I respond to this? Because you know you're being trolled and don't want to continue giving your troll what he wants? Unless you do want to keep giving him what he wants. Because if that's the case then I'd have to hold you both responsible for "derailing the thread". That's right. Both of you. And FSW and Matt D? The thread topic is far more interesting than the trolling for the sake of trolling that they seem to have free reign to do.
-
I don't disagree with that in theory. But like I said before all the trolling stuff he never claimed to be a historian. When is more of a newsletter guy he said he didn't consider himself a journalist he was just a "writer" now he is seems to refer to himself as a podcaster/radio host/website owner. In short lower your standards appropriately.
-
Triple H in his last NXT phone conference mentioned Corbin in the same breath as Zayn and Charlotte as future stars. He still is and is likely going to have Zahra Schreiber as his new valet: Quite the departure for WWE with the tattoos. Also when she first looked at by WWE late last year she didn't have that big chest piece.
-
Really odd post FSW. Just really bored of the same thing over and over. Especially in a thread you have next to zero to contribute that is on topic and informed. On the Clash thing he also is kind of oblivious/half on auto pilot at times. As consequence of that he leans on a very established schtick and range of talking points. Bryan reads the Observer every week going back nearly 20 years he has been exposed to Wrestling history.
-
The only bizarre crusade is you with me. As you endlessly follow me around and keep coming up with easily dismissible nonsense claims. It has gone back like 4+ years now. I genuinely don't think you have gotten the better of any exchange with me but you keep coming back. Please stop derailing discussion with nonsense. I've no idea why you are rendering an opinion on Bryan I don't think you have ever subscribed and have stated you would never pay for Wrestling news or whatever. The only reason you post in this thread is me.
-
Stop tantruming and follow me around with useless, nonsensical posts like this. It is just trolling for the sake of trolling with no interest in facts or making legitimate points. I was neither defending or white knighting him. I was just outline things that anyone who paid the remotest attention or subscribed for any amount of time would know. I've been as critical as anyone of what he does and doesn't watch. So per usual you are dreadfully off base.
-
Why wouldn't I respond to this? Your post is nonsense and not so shockingly didn't engage in any of the points I made. Neither did the others who just jumped in with their boring personal attacks. Face of the matter is there's no incentive for Bryan to do more than he does. How am I defending him here? You can be as idealistic all you want but I was just giving the reality of the matter .
-
Don't know what to tell you. Bryan only does what he wants and he has been very successful at it.
-
Amen
-
He's a paid wrestling writer who wrote a book about the death of WCW, lives in an age where he has instant WCW historical information at his fingertips, and is partners with possibly the foremost historian in the business, there's no excuse for him consistently knowing jack all abut the history to the topic he is paid to cover. There's no need to do that with Dave on "staff" and his site is successful regardless.The idea he hasn't been exposed to this information before is rather crazy just his memory is notoriously horrible.
-
I imagine Alvarez is defending his stupidity by calling everyone on the F4W boards who points out his stupidity a nerd. Not really just he didn't write the first half of The Death of WCW RD Reynolds did. Bryan just covered the Monday Night Wars.
-
You lads are taking this way too seriously. He never has claimed to be a historian.
-
Would love to write a Change Management paper on this promo: ^ ripped from an illegal stream which is also funny
-
Hopefully it is better than this:
-
Kevin Steen is latest shoot interview said that his attitude stinks. His askfm page is a really good read at times. He seems very open and truthful: http://ask.fm/MegaTJP Even going so far to reveal his TNA pay for example: Really liked his more recent TNA run. He seemed to make every match different and different to other matches on the card.
-
Well you just recorded a show with Kurt Brown so I guess you would have.
-
The only direct story to this is Dick Murdoch isn't it? So I doubt the source to be honest. Yeah, there are tons of stories about guys abusing animals during the 80s. Jake Roberts talking about killing all the Damiens in the Art of Wrestling comes to mind. There are a million different stories, and they all end with the wrestlers looking like assholes. Dragon Gate's Monkey is a more recent example.
-
Remember these tapings were originally intended to impress SPIKE brass to renewing IMPACT. "Ladies and Gentlemen, Lisa Simpson, Art Garfunkel, John Oates and Jim Messina with their song, the second best!"

So anyway Devitt's failed Stardust audition:
