Yeah, Dave was right on WOR when he said that if any wrestlers speak out they’ll be looking for work pretty soon afterwards.

No they won’t, they’ll be shelved and left to rot until their contracts expire, which is way worse for them.

It’s literally a “they dug too deep” thing where they were already fine financially and still threw themselves into a tire fire because they saw a dollar in there. It was already biting them in the rear end before the diplomat issue and now it’s just like someone walked up and threw more gas on the flames and frankly I’m glad of it

If this leads to any sort of negative thing other than them quietly riding it out and collecting millions, I will change my name/avatar to something butt-related for at least a year :toxx:

If you haven't listened to last week's show (first time we've done 2 back to back weeks from the same year in a row), then listen to that first, but I'm VERY curious what people think of the WCW section. We feel like we cracked the code on some conventional wisdom, but I wanna see what everyone else thinks coming out of it.

Listened to Russo’s new podcast Truth and Consequences. They establish in the first 5 minutes that Russo will tell “his version” of the truth and the host won’t call him on anything, making sure we all know there is zero truth and no consequences.

DIRECTIVE 236: Promote pro-social values
I was reading the 3-11-96 observer and Dave just casually mentions that his brother is a traveling comedian who does shows in CA. I can't fathom what type of comedy a Meltzer could deliver. Wish I could have seen it.

His brother recently did a show with Big Rick/Ezekial Jackson in the audience. His brother does a gag where he has an audience member punch him and then he punches him back, but this time he thought it'd be really funny if Zeke did a working punch and he sold it like he was dead. The crowd was just concerned he got knocked out and didn't laugh. Also that weekend Dave got recognized at Hot Topic.

The first Russo Nitro, coming off the 1999 before it, is actually pretty good comparatively because it isn't so goddamn boring.

Once you get two or three in it starts being miserable like every regime change.
