Patrick B. Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 1) My dad wasn't a huge wrestling fan, but the one name he remembers from past wrestling is Dick The Bruiser. 2) Moons Over My-Hammy = awesome. 3) As an anime/manga dork, I see Pirate King and only think of Gol D. Roger.
Ace Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 I can't stand people who can't stand G&S. I saw Pirates at the Strand Theater in London with Anthony Head as the Pirate King. Take that, Fowler. Well, damn. Lucky bastard. What he said. I'd love to see Tony Head live again.
Matt D Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 I'm not even a Buffy fan, though I did enjoy his oblivious dick performance in Merlin when I watched that with the kid.
MGFanJay Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 7-22-96 - Exaggeration of the week. The three table bump Dreamer took on the previous show off the elevated section near the balcony was billed on television as a 25 foot drop. If it was, then the Bruise Brothers, who were setting up the table, are about 23 feet tall each. 1
cool arrow Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 Say what you will about Meltzer, but nobody brings the snark quite like he does. 1
Jerry Hattrick Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 Man, you got me completely lost in the last couple pages here with the theatre stuff . It sounds like I need to get out more often.
Matt D Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 Does Dave like Xanadu because of the roller skates?
sydneybrown Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 Does Dave like Xanadu because of the roller skates? Dave should like Xanadu because it's one of the most gloriously shitty movies ever made.
BEN! Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 Xanadu Rifftrax sounds like a name from WWE's developmental name generator. "And now representing Colonel Robert Parker's Stud Stable Modeling Agency, making their respective seasonal residences in Paris, Milan, and Bucksnort, the team of Tyler Breeze, Xanadu Rifftrax, and Catwalk Buck!" 1
cool arrow Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 From today's B&V Show: "Don't Interrupt the Start of My Sentence With the End of Yours" by Dave Meltzer. Brilliant.
Robert Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 Been catching up on the WON radios and on the show following some UFC last week the first 30 seconds of the show has Dave saying "It was a great fight. Both guys took a ton of punishment and needed to go to the hospital afterwards." Just found that hilarious coming off his rant on Sombra/Volador taking too many risks in their mask match and cutting their careers short. 1
Ryan Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 I guess he has a different standard when it comes to wrestling vs mma in that regard, but he's watched guys do dangerous things for decades now and praised them anyway.

Just found that hilarious coming off his rant on Sombra/Volador taking too many risks in their mask match and cutting their careers short. Yeah, I think it's hilarious when he's talking about wrestling saying wins and should matter and it should be booked like MMA and then debate MMA and say the audience doesn't care about win-loss records and it should be booked based on personalities and storylines like Pro Wrestling. Well, it's the old saying anyway, the point of working a fight is that wrestlers can take care of themselves and prevent injuries etc. and if you don't do that you're an idiot yada yada yada. In real fight you have consenting adults engaging in dangerous combat, all you can criticize is the referee for late stoppage. 1
jstout Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 Well, in wrestling, maybe you can be entertaining and be successful without doing all that crazy shit and hurting yourself and your opponent, but in MMA, it's hard to be entertaining and successful without at least wanting to hurt your opponent.
odessasteps Posted September 28, 2013 Author Posted September 28, 2013 I agree with the point that you dont need to kill yourself on a nightly basis, but busting out big moves at Wrestlemania or Starrcade or the Egg Dome is not unusual and the CMLL Anniversario show is the Lucha equivalent.
Execproducer Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 I'm now hazy on that conversation but wasn't his whole point that they had lost the crowd because it wasn't the match they wanted and Volador and La Sombra were trying to kill themselves to prove they belonged there? Having that opinion doesn't necessarily make him a hypocrite.
nate Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 I had to stop listening to it because the constant "ya know?" drove me crazy. I swear he one time had a "sentence" that was "Ya know, I mean, ya know?" Once you notice it, you can't unhear it. Much like once you notice Bret Hart never closes his mouth when wrestling, you can't unsee it.Damn you. Damn. You. And I JUST bought the Dungeon Collection. Fuck, man ... goddamn it, now it's like yawning is the SIXTH MOVE OF DOOM!
Charlie M. Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 Remember when Booker T wore breathe right nasal strips?
Elsalvajeloco Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 I would've paid all the money in my checking account to ROH if Joe Koff had told Bryan Alvarez to shut the fuck up. You could tell that he was getting increasingly unnerved by Bryan incessantly bringing up their problems with the streams. Also, Bryan asking if they could somehow increase their budget. Then the last ten minutes or so, Koff basically turned it into an awkward shillfest for ROH and kissing Triple H's ass. That interview was just a debacle on all fronts.

If Joe's brother Jack told Bryan to fuck off ... haw ...Edit: "wouldst?" ... damn phone, what a weird auto-correct ...

I don't watch ROH TV at all - is he ever an on-screen character? That was truly one of those interviews that Dave could've handled perfectly well by himself. Sometimes Bryan should learn to just shut up sometimes and let the big boys talk. I thought it was funny for that Koff guy to talk about how it's better for ROH to draw 100 in Chattanooga than it is to draw 1,500 in NYC because the building's more expensive in NYC. That would certainly be true if ROH was drawing decently in these smaller towns, but they're not.
RIPPA Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 In one of Dave's tweets last night he wrote the phrase "functional man on man strength" I think that could easily not mean when he thinks that means 3
manzk Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 That guy was a goof. I don't watch ROH TV at all - is he ever an on-screen character? He was a judge~ for the Cole v Elgin match
