Brian Fowler Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Triple H talking about the Vikings on the post show conference call was hilarious. "They knew these guys that dress up like Vikings every weekend and if you can get Vikings you use Vikings" 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cannot put every single moment of the show over like its the greatest Nitro of all time. If everything is important, nothing is. Yeah. I think it's interesting that the big knock I've heard on Cole is that he yells and oversells everything but he does that because he's told to do so. Mauro makes the conscious choice to oversell everything and he's the darling announcer while Cole gets shit all over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramo2653 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 @Goodear I think the closest we'll get is that match against Carillo a few weeks ago on NXT. Gargano was in control for most of the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Usually the Observer comes out around 5 am est, give or take. Who knows with his injury and different format thing for tonight though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said there is going to be an Observer every week and a different format. Whether that means audio or what, I don't know. Especially for print subscribers. Maybe someone transcribing/summarizing the radio shows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Didn't he say on today's show that he was typing for something like 4 hours yesterday and his hand was killing him (this after saying he knows how dangerous pushing himself early would be terrible).

Brian Fowler Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Something to that effect, yeah. Whatisname not Bryan was chiding him. Edit: it's out, looks like Bryan did a lot of the actual writing. nah it's mostly transcribing the audio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 I am really surprised he didn't go full five boy for Gargano/Rick O'Shea. It's a Meltzer match if I've ever seen one. 3.5 for Riddle/Ohno* seems awfully low but he wasn't shy about not loving it when he was reviewing it on WOR. That they didn't do 50/50 back and forth was his main complaint IIRC. We've seen it. I liked this better than their EVOLVE matches. Also, Garrett Gonzalez deserves your respect, sir. He's really good at steering Dave around and asking good questions/summarizing stuff succinctly. I actually think long-term it wouldn't be the worst idea if Alvarez just stuck to being a really mean boss to Vinny/Craig/Filthy/Lonce, while Garrett hosts the Dave shows. * = Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 BUT IT WASN'T THE BEST MATCH THEY COULD'VE HAD! Because on a show with Gargano/Ricochet, the tag match, and Black/Ciampa, we needed another 50/50 spotfest. I really dig Meltzer the large majority of the time but when the guy misses the boat, he really fucking misses the boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 FWIW, Sam Roberts is making it very clear he was not scripted, and not fed the lines about Bianca, and that he will not apologize because it was his opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramo2653 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Not to get all Hogan with the don't work yourself into a shoot, but I'm really skeptical that it wasn't a planned now. I highly doubt that they would have a follow up on it on NXT and have Sam double down without it being planned. Also if it wasn't, that would be the equivalent to openly questioning your managers choices in public, which is a great way to get fired. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Sam also said something about having "conversations" about it backstage after and kinda implied he might not be invited back for the next Takeover. It definitely could be an angle, though I can't imagine the purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic. If that's what it takes to get kicked off a panel -- then I hope it was a shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beech27 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Shocked to learn that a guy who brings Ann Coulter on his radio show would find race-baiting a compelling broadcast strategy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
