Cavauro posted:the no compete clause is three months because that's the sweet spot of where it's not worth it to fight for nearly everyone. they would do a 12-month if they thought it wouldn't change anything very much I mean for like 2/3rds of the roster they're basically already sitting at home on 2 to 5 year non-competes.

So basically he experienced the totality of the cryptocurrency experience then? Well not ALL of it I suppose, unless MJF suddenly disappears off the face of the Earth having successfully completed his pump and dump scheme.

Sometimes I think WWE wrestlers think Vince is gonna push them or cut them a check if they poo poo on the fans or the "Dirtsheets" hard enough online, but like most things they do for Vince it only ends up making them look like complete clowns and they get nothing in return for it.

Really enjoy Deadlock, especially when they're talking about weird/bad stuff like the All Wheels Wrestling pilot. The only criticism I'd have is sometimes they say stuff that's just wrong, like one time they were talking about a Young Bucks vs Jurassic Express match and were like "These guys have wrestled each other 600 times at this point" when it was actually the first time they'd ever wrestled each other (aside from a tag team battle royal a year before I think).

Sometimes I balk at 2021 Raw's where every single match is less than 5 minutes long but then I get reminded of this era of TNA where they'd somehow have even less wrestling in the whole show than even one of those Raw matches.

CVagts posted:I started listening to the Butts in the Seats podcast because the premise sounded interesting (two people relatively blind to WCW, one of whom is completely unfamiliar with it, watch WCW from Havoc 1998 on), but so far, it doesn't really live up to the premise. They start out reviewing the builds to PPVs and not individual Nitros, so they skip a lot of the lower-card stuff (I think they switch to a week-by-week). That's a weird place to start a WCW watch to me. Why not start at Bash at the Beach 96 so you can start when the NWO does? Or just 1996 in general so you can get a taste of the some the ridiculous-rear end dogshit WCW was doing right before the NWO happened?

It feels like Dave is super gun-shy about saying anything bad about Charlotte cause every time he offers even the slightest critique of her, she and Andrade (and probably some vocal fans of both) are screaming at him on social media and this is his way of being "diplomatic" about it. Then again he also has a tendency to defend WWE stuff with the "well it was dogshit but that's what they wanted to happen" which is wild to me because why on earth would you intentionally put on a bad show but I guess with WWE it wouldn't surprise me.

WWE don't care about PPVs cause they literally get paid more to make a Saudi show then everything else they do combined that year or something like that. Between the Saudi Shows and Wrestlemania they're basically just a content farm.

I think Dave's a part of that like, pure business mindset of "They need to get every single dream match done as fast as humanly possibly" because that's basically what WWE does but AEW's shown it can succeed without hot-shotting every single big match the instant they can possibly do it.

Also I dunno why Dave is so insistent that AEW should be rushing to get as big as WWE as fast as possible when they're doing fine at their own pace. Maybe let them take time to build their show naturally instead of hot-shotting every former WWE guy into title shots like every other dogshit No 2 company in history has.

Also it's weird that people have spent AEW's entire existence hoping and praying they don't repeat the TNA mistake of just hiring every single person who leaves WWE and immediately rushing them all into title pictures at the expense of their homegrown talent, but now want AEW to do that exact thing.
