Doc Townsend Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 (edited) A lot of us have suspected for years that Dave is actually a robot. He does a pretty convincing impression of a normal human being, but it’s not flawless. Edited February 13, 2023 by Doc Townsend grammar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warning: very NSFW language! Reigns v Meltzer: The Gorilla Pod (look up Joe Marotta's Twitter to see the rest, I think there's ~7-8 of them in total): Roman charging up the Superman punch to Dave’s “Noooooooooooooooooooo” kills me every damn time.

Cena just waved his hands a few times in a bad pantomime of Kofi then gave the camera a shrug and a “I dunno what the heck I’m supposed to do” look. Also, as much as I appreciate Corbin giving me another reason to root against Duke, my brother and wife went to UNC so I don’t need the help.

I didn’t know Corbin briefly played pro football until just now. You’d think the company would at least mention that (they may well have, but I either missed it or was tuned out if they did). Where’s Jim Ross when you need him. His Wikipedia entry makes his background sound fairly interesting.

I watched NXT off and on while Corbin was there. Apparently I wasn’t paying much attention. The internet tells me Corbin’s history with McAfee was referenced their feud. I must not have been paying attention then either. I do other stuff while wrestling is on and have gotten good at tuning out the background noise to focus on emails or Amazon or whatever.

But this being wrestling, he didn't actually play in any NFL games. Although if we're doing a variant on his last name, Pestock pretty much rhymes with Peacock, so Corbin could claim that the Peacock steaming service is paying him to use the name Peacock unless that makes Peacock into heels until someone inevitably says that BC Peacock is using the name Peacock without their permission. Someone doing a Dukie gimmick because "i'm taking online classes from Duke now" would be even more fun since he's a heel at a heel university and he's also not a real Dukie.

Cobra Commander Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 I didn't even know that legendary 2011 Chief Sabby Piscatelli had an unsuccessful wrestling career. But he's with Mandy Rose, so the WWE stint worked out in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He never made it past practice roster in the NFL, so using old school logic he was a "failure" in his first choice of sports and now is doing pretty well in his backup plan. Again, by old school logic that makes wrestling look bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 old school logic involved saying that guys who never made it off of practice squads were former NFL players, like Vader with the Rams, Neidhart with the Raiders, and so on, without acknowledging the truth about how little they really played. It was easier to go that route back in the old days when wrestlers pay was more or closer to NFL pay than these days, when it isn't. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
