I believe the regular shows have a set, agreed to time (that they rarely keep to.) For example I think the Wednesday WOR is supposed to be 45 minutes long.

It seems a bit strange to impose an arbitrary limit on yourself but I guess there is something to be said for a consistent presentation.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
Some podcasts are long, and you don't know how long they last. That's why you need a predictable Wrestling Observer Podcast.

Too many wrestling podcasts are bloated 2-hour monstrosities with 1 1/2 of those hours being the hosts laughing at their own in-jokes. Time limits are a good thing.

I mean, I'm at least a little happy that Conrad's lowered things to prompting one of each of Bruce's impersonations (besides Vince) per episode. I can only take so many poor Cornette or Andre impersonations each week.

It's hit or miss to me; good example being the first Undertaker episode, which just dragged ON AND ON about who Taker was working with on the house show loops, while the most recent one was a lot more interesting and covered "So Taker was working this guy...hey how about this story?"

That's where the show shines, with Bruce just confirming (or vehemently denying, which is somehow less entertaining) the random poo poo that Dave was reporting at the time.

A very poorly written and slanted article that can't even get the banana story right that he links to. He brings up the Honma story and basically acts like that was the extent of the coverage completely ignoring the longer, detailed piece in the Observer.

Also ignores Dave being one of the few people to report on stories like Randy Savage's domestic abuse history, etc.

Months ago I wondered why the Banana story video had received thousands of views when I only created it as a Tuesday Nitro bumper, I had no clue people were using it as an example of DV.

Bruce's constant rants about Meltzer are getting old. It's like 90% a work anyway, considering he agrees with Dave a lot too but never mentions when he does and doesn't spend 10 minutes ranting and raving about it.

This was not written with the intent of getting Dave Meltzer fired. Or trying to bring down his career and how he makes his livelihood. But this is a pattern, and a consistent attitude towards women in wrestling in all facets that is extremely concerning and that should be addressed. The leading man in wrestling media, at a time where assault and harassment towards women in various other industries is being reported unlike ever before, should not be acting in this manner. Whether Dave Meltzer really is a misogynist or doesn’t respect women or not, I do not know. But with the claims being made these days, and many people across various forums wondering why exactly those claims were made, I thought it best to bring awareness to what has been a troubling pattern of behavior.

lol what is this mealy-mouthed poo poo

so three incidents that stretch across more than a decade are a 'pattern'. he's not trying to get meltzer fired (from what? his own website/newsletter?) and "i dont know if dave meltzer is a misogynist" even though the entire point of the article is to insinuate that he is.

might've been a good article if the guy had done his research and had a point other than 'raising awareness'.

Meltzer's in the wrong on this one. He should not have published her name, out of human decency. Dropping enough details for a background pull is crazy dangerous and especially with weirdo wrestling fans. Remember that forums poster that called HHH? The weird airport stalker dudes?

I can't tell if that's an intentional attempt by Dave to sick dogs on someone or he genuinely didn't think that poo poo through.

Oh and that guy that wrote the Dave Hit Piece? He's a dweeb, gently caress him.
