DougN Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Do yourself a favor and skip the first 17 minutes of today's Observer Radio. Doesn't matter who you agree with, they literally just yelled and argued the same point over and over and over again. It was very unbearable. 2
MushroomJones Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Yeah, just a very sad display by Bryan and Dave. Dave must have woken up on the wrong side of the bed.
Ace Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Amen. I wanted to beat Bryan to death with a hammer during that.
Skelemania Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Amen. I wanted to beat Bryan to death with a hammer during that. I don't even know what the argument was. Meltzer just kept saying "it doesn't matter." & Alvarez just kept saying "at least try to make it matter." I don't know what the point is. Does Melzer just want them to abort the story altogether, or what? He never made a point. At least Bryan made a point. I honestly think there's something wrong with Dave Meltzer. Like, mentally, there's something wrong upstairs. I don't know if it's OCD or what but the dude is not normal. Like, so many things just go flying over his head, he takes everything SO literally, he can never tell when someone is joking, he never picks up on sarcasm, etc. Someone will say something like "about two-thousand people were there" and he'll have to jump in, Rain Man style, to point out "oh, it was actually one-thousand, nine-hundred & fifty-six!" Dude is fucked up.
Ace Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 He made the point repeatedly. TNA had not only already fucked their attempt at the CM Punk angle up, it's also an angle that is drawing no interest and therefore doesn't matter.
sydneybrown Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Amen. I wanted to beat Bryan to death with a hammer during that. I honestly think there's something wrong with Dave Meltzer. Like, mentally, there's something wrong upstairs. I don't know if it's OCD or what but the dude is not normal. Like, so many things just go flying over his head, he takes everything SO literally, he can never tell when someone is joking, he never picks up on sarcasm, etc. I haven't listened to the aforementioned audio, so I can't speak for that, but having read the Observer for almost a decade, Dave has some of the driest wit I've ever seen to the point that sometimes I don't even realize he's making a joke until later. He's well-aware when someone is making a joke, especially a bad one. That's his schtick. When Bryan makes some ridiculous comment and Dave takes it seriously, it makes it all the more humorous. Dave himself has even pointed out that he does that stuff on purpose and gets frustrated that people think he's really that stupid.
odessasteps Posted October 23, 2013 Author Posted October 23, 2013 @davemeltzerWON: Listening comprehension would be your friend.
DougN Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 On the site's board, they seemed to take it worse than us.
Elsalvajeloco Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Not on the actual website, but Meltzer was great doing the retrospective for UFC 11 through 20 on Sherdog Radio. If he can get three hours out of the UFC's dark age (granted he actually judged one of the events in that timeframe and knew all the top guys personally), he can probably do at least two of those shows with Sempervive on a particular era of wrestling.
Robert Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 I like listening to Dave & Bryan argue but would prefer they save it for shit that actually matters instead of TNA which is not even worth talking about - let alone for 17 minutes.
Reggie20x6 Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 That argument makes me want to hire Bryan and Dave a pair of Existential Detectives to get to the bottom of things for them.
cool arrow Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 I was going to mention Dirk, but then that got me thinking about the awful unfunny TV series that only lasted four episodes, and that made me sad.
Bustronaut Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 It's British, it's only supposed to be 4 episodes!
cool arrow Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 That's a fair point. But it still wasn't funny.
Bustronaut Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 As long as Stephen Mangan wasn't involved, I'm sure it was fine.
hammerva Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 So based on Meltzer's logic about the AJ Styles/TNA angle on Thursday, all companies should create a contract on original angles like the Montreal screw job or the CM Punk angle, or the NWO that expires on a certain period. Until that period, NOBODY CAN USE THAT ANGLE because it was already done before and chances are it won't be like the original. I am really glad that Meltzer didn't have this opinon in 1996 when Bischoff stole the NWO concept from Japan. The reason that there are wrestling companies and MMA companies other than the WWE and UFC is because people think that can do their shit better. Well that and money.
Happ Hazzard Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 Looks like all UFC live coverage is behind the paywall now.
Happ Hazzard Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 I don't know. But last weeks coverage was member only and so is this weeks.
Ryan Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 It wasn't at first. Dave may just be clicking the flag to set it that way or something without realizing it. Who knows.
