John from Cincinnati Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 It genuinely does a lot of good for my self-esteem to see guys like Rosenberg monetize their surface-level knowledge and fail upward. Makes me hopeful for the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: I believe that's where the whole thing started.

Jon Koppenhaver is a nothing. Outside of the MMA bubble his name is completely unrecognisable. "One guy on the wrestling board with a MMA subforum making the connection" really doesn't prove the point that War Machine is a name associated with a violent piece of shit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattdangerously Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 They're not calling Fish and O'Reilly "reDRagon", and they're probably not calling Hanson and Rowe "War Machine". Whether or not the name is appropriate is moot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kafkonia Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I'll have you know *two* of us on this board have already been confused about the War Machine/War Machine thing. But it doesn't matter - like @mattdangerously says, they're not going to be keeping that name anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nice Guy Eddie Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I say go with Machines of War. Oh, and fuck Peter Rosenberg. He's pretty awful on The Michael Kay Show. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again - wasn't defending Rosenberg or his lack of puro knowledge, just saying that he has a valid point about that potentially causing confusion among fans (which someone else has now confirmed). Wouldn't WWE change the name solely for trademark reasons anyhow? They went with "Tazz" instead of Taz due to a Warner Bros cartoon, wouldn't major motion picture character James Rhodes prevent them from using War Machine?

When you're sober, you realize the only thing you had in common was cocaine. I once had a guy who was kind of an acquaintance admit to me and another acquaintance that he was molested by his dad as we blew lines at like 4 AM at my parents kitchen table while they were away for a weekend. Moral of the story, stick to weed. 4 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Rosenberg and Roberts have radio shows (Ebro in the Morning & Jim/Sam on Sirius) that are used to promote WWE events and performers, though. I don’t think Dan Soder has a platform like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Rosenberg is the fakest fucking fan. I gave up on his wrestling podcast right when Shoemaker left, but by that point, I listened out of boredom because I like something playing while I'm working. So many times Rosenberg would have no clue about what was going on in WWE and now he works for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Web Conn Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Soder and Big Jay Oakerson have a radio show on the Comedy Central XM Station called The Bonfire. Bruce Prichard just did a phoner for his live show in New York. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Found this on f4wonline.com: Sasha Banks called herself the greatest women’s wrestler ever when being interviewed by TalkSport. While that’s bound to generate controversy, the quote came when she was talking about Bayley having her number in their rivalry. Banks also told Sky Sports that she’d love to see WWE introduce women’s Tag Team titles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, switch out Roberts for Soder if you need the XM radio boost, but everyone from Punk to Reigns to Bryan has been in the Hot 97 studio promoting the NY shows when they’re in the area. I imagine WWE giving Rosenberg a preshow gig is thanks for that, and because he’s a (lapsed) fan. Y’all out here acting like he’s commentating one of the main roster shows when all he does is Network/YouTube content for the company. 30-60 minutes before a RAW or PPV, and any other thing he does is a few minutes or a talking head spot. Him not knowing indie talent isn’t a big deal - plus he’s a self-admitted troll on Twitter who says shit just to get a rise out of people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MORELOCK Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I don't think Sasha or anyone that knows what they're talking about would rank her as the best. Taking issue with her saying that in-character is like saying "But what about Misawa" every time Ernest The Cat Miller calls himself The Greatest. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Given that she was a puro fan as a kid, I'd like to think she would not rank herself in real life ahead of Toyota or Hokuto or Bull ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
