Niners Fan in CT Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Who the fuck is that little shit Bryan and Vinny have on anyway? Bryan can be bad enough though he does make a lot of fair points and observations. This other guy adds nothing and is a less funny version of what Bryan is supposed to be. It's awful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChesterCopperpot Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 It was one of their friends who very rarely appears on the show. He'd not watch anything since July or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 If you get past the delusions of grandeur, cantankerousness, pigheadedness, PLAYING THE GIMMICK, and generally rude behaviour, I kind of like Alvarez and fuck you if you disagree. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a horror fan, I think the guy is a complete shitbag. If you're counting dipshit friends motherfucking people with actual talent, his partner Siskel gave people Betsy Palmer's address and told them to write her and tell her she was a horrible person for doing Friday the 13th, for example. She just wanted a new car, man. My favorite blurb on any DVD release is Grindhouse using an Ebert quote about The Beyond out of context. "THE BEYOND does not disappoint." The quote only condescendingly referred to the gore and special effects though, as he rated the actual movie a 1/2 star. Those pompous windbags should've stuck to waxing poetic about Meryl Streep unicorn porn. https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/the-beyond-1998 Edited January 31, 2020 by FluffSnackwell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will they FINALLY get some sort of TV so they can draw more than 19 people to a show? Abema TV is going to carry them.

I don’t listen to wrestling podcasts anymore, but I’ll agree that when I did, I found that Alvarez was very entertaining, and naturally charismatic unlike his WOL partner, Meltzer. If he was born ten years earlier the man would’ve been in the WWF since he fit the 90’s Vince mold of desired on-air personalities like Todd Pettengill, and Michael Cole. Edit: Although, scratch that last part. Vince still likes that mold in-general. That being Dick Clark boyish-charm types. But Vince did like them with more edge back then.

RIPPA Posted January 31, 2020 Author Share Posted January 31, 2020 BTW - there are some WWE INSIDERS~! saying that one of the big reasons WWE $$$ is down is because Vince gave NXT to USA for free. Reasoning was a) to beat AEW and b) to make up for SDL going to FOX We will see for real when the numbers come out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't buy that especially when you factor in most of the talent isn't making that much money anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless Sempervive kinda sucks too. Well in general WOL sucks. The show constantly recaps itself after every commercial break, Sempervive just regurgitates everything Alvarez says, and the majority of callers are the stereotypical shy fanboy who takes an eternity to ask a question. Also there is this one caller who calls into the show that is either a plant, or a guy who always pretends that he’s a first time caller that gets completely under my skin. I think the last two points is what caused me to cancel my F4W subscription for good. Edited January 31, 2020 by LoneWolf&Subs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joseph2112 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 If WWE put NXT on USA for free that's pretty much textbook predatory/anti-trust business and serious lawsuit bait. Of course the current political climate might make that pretty difficult. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt925 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 And that would make the $30-50 million thing complete bs, which doesn’t make sense. But would explain why supposedly nxt wrestlers haven’t gotten a raise yet. Will be interesting to learn more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously I don't want to get into this in depth because we've all been warned about political discussion, but I sort of feel the opposite in that it might be a welcome distraction for some of those currently running things. You never know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 It's still a pricey stock to buy. It'll bounce back some, but I doubt it reaches $100 a share or whatever it was trading for around a year ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't touch WWE stock either way at the moment. 2017 was the time to buy when it was under $20. Even $48 now seems like it might be high.
