When in doubt, book Gresham and Grace. Or, do the correct thing - confirm that wrestling is so rotten to its core based it’s vile history that it’s irredeemable and we are all complicit by being fans. Every important figure in wrestling history is an absolute piece of poo poo, and we’d do well to accept that. MassRafTer posted:Having listened to WOR, Dave sounded like he was ready to have a breakdown thinking about what the wrestling business actually is and it was incredibly depressing to listen to. If you came out of that thinking he didn't give a poo poo I don't know what to tell you. It was extremely sad to hear a man basically admit that he’d spent his life covering something he secretly despises. Pretty rough.

It was really depressing.

Bischoff burying Dr Who? would get me to listen to his podcast. Eh it probably wouldn't but it'd be better than what he normally does.

I'm not sure what's more likely, Bryan or Dave losing their mind over the TARDIS being bigger on the inside.

if there's a tenuous relationship between Dr Who, wrestling and/or rollerderby, Dave will talk about it for 45 minutes.
