Storm recently made some profoundly ignorant statements regarding mental illness and treatment on twitter. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3434263&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=94 The guy's categorized as an atheist on Wikipedia, although I've never heard him make any comments on religion one way or the other.

Lance seems very anti science in general. He can't understand why ordinary people might want HRT he thinks our food is poison and seems against psych meds.

Now Lance claims his UFC boycott is not a boycott he just doesn't like UFC even though when it started it was definitely a boycott and he liked UFC.

Dave is great when it's just Bryan and him, but during interview's he's unbearable. He would stammer on and on about nothing when Konnan was trying to talk or answer a question.

He does the stammering, stuttering and skipping like a broken record when he hits the phrase "ya know" when it's just the two of them as well. Bryan constantly has to outright talk over him to get a word in or to change the subject from something that Dave is just lost in spergland about and rambling on and on.

I find it easier to handle when it's just a review or news because he's at least contributing something. He was stammering over Konnan when the subject at hand was a hypothetical situation about underutilized talent.

Dave is a great source for wrestlenews with his connections and his passion for the sport and all but he's a really bad choice for someone to represent the website on a podcast. Every time he's on it feels like he's never been in a conversation with real people before and has no idea how conversations actually work. Then again that seems to be part of his charm for some people so who knows.

9/10 Bryan's questions suck, and while Dave's might take a bit of time to get there he has a much better more in depth question ready. Bryan does good short form interviews and knows how to lead guests well. But when they have 90 minutes to talk to a guest I really want Dave asking something obscure and crazy.

This is when their interviews work the best. Unfortunately, sometimes Dave has really lovely questions and sometimes Bryant doesn't control the guest well enough. I think Bryan's a really good interviewer, though that may be influenced by the fact that Dave loving loves talking over the guests to get in his questions which drives me nuts.

I've recently been listening to the eYada stuff and there's an interview/phone-in with Benoit and it's really hard to take in. It was just after his Owen tribute match with Bret and Dave says that someone contacted him with a commercial-free version of the match and Benoit said to send that along to him too.

I think he was trying to say it's stopped being a concious boycott now and has just moved to the point where he just doesn't care about the sport anymore. That's what I got from it anyway.

Yuriy posted:What's Lance's reasoning behind not liking/boycotting the UFC? Chael Sonnen basically. He thinks it is a drug sport and hates drugs. When Chael got his suspension reduced he flipped out and decided he wouldn't support UFC anymore. He didn't change his mind when California overturned the reduction, or when Chael didn't end up fighting until well after his original suspension would be over. Because of that he won't give UFC any money or watch them for free. As time has gone on he's lost interest, although his claim that he doesn't want to watch and has no interest is dubious since every few months there's a fight he seems interested in.

I would argue that steroids are more harmful to MMA than wrestling because wrestling already went through the steroid trials and basically outed themselves so people just go "oh it's fake." now. With MMA people are going to be turned off if they think it's a bunch of roid'ed up guys going at it, regardless if there is actually any performance advantage to it or not. It's 100% detrimental to the perception of the sport and since MMA is entering a down period in their business again, this is a bad time for the public to be turned off even more because of steroid bullshit. So yes, steroids are worse for MMA than prowrestling, not in the actual competition but in the marketing and future of the business itself.

On the other hand you could say it's worse in Pro Wrestling because there is absolutely no real gain from steroids in Pro Wrestling because it's all fake and their endangering their health for nothing more than cosmetic use, as well as there being no real laws on steroids in wrestling because it isn't a competitive sport.

Actually, the gain of marketable physique is where steroids become a much bigger value. Wrestling being a 365 day job means less time injured equals more money, which is where steroids comes in again. This is an odd discussion anyhow. Steroids is bad for MMA and pro wrestling equally due to the public perception of steroids. Simply put. Nothing else to it.
