ICHIBAHN posted:What was said Writing it down really doesn't do it justice, but basically it was Bryan going on a rant about Bruce Pritchard saying we'd all miss Michael Cole when he was gone. Bryan went off his loving rocker about it and said that even when he personally says something stupid you can guarantee there will be one person at least who agrees with him, but Pritchard's statement is so stupid that NOBODY would ever agree. You really need to hear Bryan going off while Vinny and Craig giggle to get the full effect.

I do think it's at least possible they find someone worse than Cole as his replacement.

Remember when Cole commentated on the first UK tournament and everyone was like "oh wow, he was good?" Because the problem isn't Cole, it's the senile old man screaming in Cole's ear. I can't see Cole leaving and the quality changing positively. Vince being too busy with the XFL? Maybe. Fingers crossed.

I didn’t think he was that good at all, I think the people who say that are too used to how utterly god-awful he is on RAW. He’s just good *by comparison* on those shows imo

All of my favorite mid week podcasts are on hiatus so I was worried I'd have nothing to listen to this morning. Thankfully, Dave fell off his bike.

We were real close to getting a "Dave and his crazy, hot, ex-girlfriend" story and Garrett needs to learn when to lean into those.

Is WOR worth subscribing to? I don't necessarily have time to listen to a whole lot of content, but you guys make the B&V stuff sound really entertaining.

B&V has the retro show, which everyone loves, the granny show which splits opinion, and the NWA show which apparently lots of people skip but it’s a great listen especially if you want to hear Bryan bury terrible 80s jobbers Pacific Rim is fantastic Filthy 4 is terrible, Observer Live is terrible, both because Bryan’s co hosts are insufferable

They post minute-by-minute breakdowns of what they discuss in each WOR episode so you can skip around if you're not interested in something or don't have time for the full episode, it's super convenient. They do tons of podcast content but the newsletter alone is worth the price IMO.

It is a rite of passage for more "serious" online Wrestling fans. I know a lot of fans who "grew out of" B&V but there's always an initial love affair with the show.

Now might be one of the better times to subscribe. Dave broke his arm and won't be able to write the observer for the next 8 weeks. He's saying that he's going to be doing a show every day until he can type again.

As a new subscriber, I totally recommend it. They're just plain funny guys and their opinions are often agreeable. And, even if they're wrong, I don't hate 'em for it. Failure to appreciate Kevin Nash is just one of those things I've learned to accept as a wrestling fan. Also Dave knows everything about wrestling history so it's educational. You can find tons of their clips on YT as well. They have a YT channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPcc1MbakHpB8F1vIDvUJBg Just to give you a good sample of what you're buying.

I've been watching these when they come out which is part of what got me asking. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't a "trailer is better than the movie" or too much of a greatest hits type of thing before subbing. I'll have to check it out. Thanks for the feedback everyone!

exploded mummy posted:its week 1 of Bryan relistening to Mark Madden Yeah I chuckled when Vinny announced Mark Madden was on commentary not long after Bryan's meltdown. For all his faults (some of which aren't his but the fault of a senile old man yelling in his ear) Cole does have the ability to do fine commentary (his call of Mankind's win in 1999, Daniel Bryan's win at WM30). Mark Madden brings nothing to the table, and what's worse is he's replacing Bobby Heenan who even when drunk and not giving a poo poo is still better. I would rather listen to 3 Michael Coles than one Mark Madden

Dave would have to hire a typist to follow him around 18 hours a day. He doesn't write like a normal person.

dictate poo poo and send it to the typist to type in verbatim. It'll be a hoot.

Mark Madden has then gone onto having a glorious career of harassing women and inciting only mobs against them for daring report on sports.
