Dan Matha has been in the PC for god knows how long. He's also a PR disaster waiting to happen. I'll be shocked if he's anything more than enhancement talent for NXT.

I remember when they aired like a month of hype packages for Dan Matha and when he finally debuted, Joe just beat him to death and he disappeared from TV. Easily a top five NXT moment all time.

I wonder if he's pulling a Eli Drake considering his promo involved calling Pittsburgh a Shithole, which is not something you want to do even as a heel in WWE

When the drug test comes back positive for performance enhancing drugs.
Dijak vs. Ciampa was extremely good for a house show. He's been at the last two Detroit shows and it's a crime he's not a major player on weekly TV already.

So what you're saying is Vince will hate him.

If you ranked all the fight promoters in history in terms of how scummy they are Dana would probably be somewhere in the middle. Vince is a way worse person.

Dana White is an rear end in a top hat but Matt Riddle was also a dumb fuckup in the UFC.

Riddle seems to have his poo poo together now but Dana had legit cause to be angry with him, although I disagree with how publicly he expressed that anger.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.

And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

This is true, but today Dana released a promo for Conor v Khabib that includes footage of Conor attacking the bus injurying several fighters and loving up ThugRose.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
I'm still not sure I understand why Dana White employees Joe Rogan but thinks that Riddle might be a problem.

Chris James 2
Aug 9, 2012


Rogan isn't getting regularly drug tested and hasn't hosed up multiple fights because of said testing

When Riddle was fired in Feb 2013, he had failed 2 post fight drug tests, had 2 wins voided, and was suspended twice. This was his reaction during the aftermath of the first one/right before the second one:

Riddle on the Verbal Submission podcast posted:

I've been smoking weed since I was 13 and look at me. I'm in the UFC and I smash people with a smile on my face. It's not a performance-enhancing drug. It makes me relax. It makes me happy. Honestly, it probably keeps me from beating my three kids because they're always screaming and crying at me and my wife's crazy and you know what life's like. It's hard sometimes and honestly, I like to go to my game room and rip a tube and just sit back and relax and enjoy a 20-minute show, go out, see my family, take care of everything I have to take care of, and that's what I do. A lot of people think it's okay to drink a fifth of jack and beat their wife. I don't.

Skjorte

Because Joe's a color commentator and not an active member of the roster, whereas Riddle's inability to follow the rules caused two of his last three UFC fights to have their result overturned, all within the span of one calendar year. As dumb as it is that a positive test for pot takes your win away, it's just as dumb to get busted by the state commission twice within a year and halt whatever momentum you were picking up. Following that up by making a bad joke about having to smoke to not be so annoyed by his wife and crying children that he'd have to beat them didn't do him any favors, either. Edit: What ^ said.

Riddle is a much better fit for pro wrestling anyway, so it seems like it all turned out for the best for him.

uhhhh okay Riddle deserved to be fired. All first-hand accounts I've seen, he's a really cool dude who treats all fans as close friends, but the kinda stuff he said and his failure to just not follow rules is something else.

Also the suspensions were ridiculously close to each other, literally within one year (July 2012 and Feb 2013). I forget if it was still during a time when they were trying to push him as a rising star in the company (there was a period where he seemed to be getting a lot of fights offered, he just kept dealing with some injuries that resulted in them being pulled)

He is really nice. I went to Germany for a show and he made a point of remembering me from Ireland, and asked me what I thought of it all, and cut a mini promo about how he was going to destroy Ospreay in Dublin. He's sound.

Voiding a win because the dude was smoking weed is loving moronic. I hope Riddle blows smoke in Dana White's stupid liar shithead face. Holding it against him in any way shape or form that he got suspended for loving weed makes you at least kind of a narc.
