Would you be my new best friends?

Here's a scoop for ya, The Rock went to Dave's house for a strategy session on his Presidential campaign, and Dave advised him to have three scoops of ice cream to establish dominance.

Then rovert says the plan for the amount of ice cream may have changed but it also may not have and acts like it's an equal scoop

I've always just viewed it as such:
- People "in the business" like to believe or like to project the idea that the wrestling business is extremely complicated and that us dumb marks would never understand it without also being "in the business" first.
- Wrestling isn't that complicated, and what about it is complicated is just the insane, nonsensical unwritten rule carny bullshit that most people would immediately disregard as being stupid and archaic.
- Dave is a pretty common sense no bullshit guy who cuts through all the carny poo poo and just talks about wrestling in a common sense, logical way.
- This is :siren: exposing the business :siren:.

I do wonder what are the complexities that wrestlers think people who don't wrestle don't get.

And how bad some of the agents and writers are that all wrestlers are jaded against them.

Jim Cornette spent years using his mouth to get nuclear heat for all sorts of wrestlers, and you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Mouthing off and heeling it up are all he knows

Jim Cornette is a ridiculous walking encyclopedia of American wrestling history nearly on par with Meltzer (and in some cases probably more informed) and it can be incredible to listen to him tell stories and remember everyone involved and who trained them and what the specific dates were when I can't even remember what I had for lunch yesterday. If you can pick and choose and skip his politics talks and quasi-fake hatred rants I consider him one of the most interesting podcast guys by far. His new cohost is so much better than whoever the last chick was too although he sounds like Paul heyman to the point where I was extremely confused at first.

Plus I really enjoy his Tuesdays at the Garden scrapbook about wrestling in Louisville and he signed it for me without me even requesting it which was neat

I wish all these old-timers who are no longer employed with the WWE would stop having idiotic feuds with one another, and just talk about wrestling. The fact Russo has this weird coterie of fans who worship him is absolutely bizarre.

Oh all that poo poo is great, don't get me wrong - his stories about NWA jobbers like Wee Willie Wilkins trying to go into business for themselves are amazing, as are the times he watches terrible matches and offers running commentary. I'm just saying I think he exaggerates some poo poo because he likes to heel it up.

A lot of guys who used to make money Wrestling are now making money off of shoot videos and such. The same worked poo poo that sold matches is now what they use to sell their interviews, and because they are billed as shoots, who are you to say they are worked. Kayfabe lives, but only as regards to selling shoot interviews. You make a little money, your opponent makes a little money, you make up on camera to make a little money, you find a new opponent or bring back an old program, repeat as necessary.

All shoots are works brother. So....

Goodnight HULKAMANIACS and jabronie marks without a life that don't know it a work when you work a work and work yourself into a shoot,marks

He once booked a pole match where there were 4 poles in each corner of the ring, one woth the title and the other 3 contained a coal miners glove in a horrible callback, a blowup doll, and a picture of Scott Hall. The finish involved a midget low blowing Jeff Jarrett.

That was a horrible match worthy of being called a San Francisco 49ers match.

The 49ers were gonna be bad regardless of who the coach was, Russo is Jeff Fischer or Marvin Lewis.

Also, according to the rules of the match, the ref who picked up the belt as it fell out of the box won the title.

Jeff Fisher is .500 coach over 20 years. Russo's career was nowhere near that good. He's much more like Romeo Crinnel or Charlie Weis.

Man this really sucks. By all accounts Buddy was a huge figure in the Pacific Northwest wrestling scene, helping train a lot of guys who came up in this area to go be bigger deals elsewhere.

As someone who really wishes Washington had a bigger indie scene (can't support my local fed if there's no fed to support :(), losing Buddy hurts.
