The idea of calling Dave "Mr. Meltzer" is really funny to me

Whats the story with Dave almost dying in 1994? Bryan talks about it during the Nailz/Gigante segment.

His appendix exploded before he was going on a trip to Japan but he kind of ignored the pain for a few days. He went to the hospital instead of getting on the plane and is lucky he did since he would have died if he waited any longer.

I had appendicitis a few years ago and it comes on so gradually that I didn’t realize how much pain I was in until the opiates kicked in. The human body is a strange thing, Dave Meltzer’s perhaps doubly so.

That's basically how Dave described it. He tells the whole story on a couple of WORs but unfortunately I couldn't tell you which. Might be on youtube.

If you're days away from a trip you've been looking forward to, any indication by your body that something is wrong will be met with "No, gently caress YOU, I'M FINE." regardless of how true that actually is.

The human body is a strange thing, Dave Meltzer’s perhaps doubly so. Can confirm. It's basically a gradually increasing stomach ache until you just want to curl into a ball and die. But that can take hours or days to get that bad.

i bet shave seltzer walked into the hospital and said he rated his pain minus five stars and then refused to give them his information because plans might change. What a useless seltzer he is

Was it just me or did Meltzer come off badly when talking about backstage announcers?

It was the usual Dave speak where he wants to make a point but the way in which he words it makes it sound like he's got an agenda. I'm sure someone could write a hit piece about how Dave is a sexist and calling for women to be fired from backstage interviewing roles, but anyone who isn't looking to string Dave up can figure out that Dave isn't sexist and just wants to see them hire better people in the role even if those people aren't young, attractive, women.

Jericho comes off as a super bitter boots old man on the Wrestlemania Preview episode. Keeps calling the women "divas", is mad that they're getting the same matches as men ("does there HAVE to be two of everything?" yes, dammit), and makes a huge deal about being "banned from WWE" It's unfortunate.

This is from a few weeks back but every time I think of Bryan yelling "PEAS?!" I can't help but laugh.

Does Nick Gage walking into the WOR mailbag yelling "You da man Dave" and leaving make audio in the WOR mailbag? I wasn't there but I feel it is important to post about so everyone is aware.

It was about $100 of itunes poo poo and that's all getting reversed and refunded. They called me about it at like 7 am and the card was closed at like 8 am. So it's been more of a giant inconvenience then anything thankfully. https://twitter.com/AdamMikeBAN/status/1114626199467319297?s=19

For whatever it's worth, I met Bryan and Vinny after the G1 Supercard and they're really, really nice guys. Can't say how nice it is to meet the voices who accompany me on my commute and they turned out to be so great in person!

I laughed my rear end off at Dave saying at the live mailbag show,"You guys are so much nicer than the people I speak to on twitter!" Also according to the Pacific Rim Podcast, the Stardom wrestlers rode to the show on the New York Subway observing the face/heel division

Anyone else think that Dave was weirdly negative on the MSG show? Obviously the ROH stuff wasn't as good as the New Japan stuff but it's not like it ruined the show or whatever.
