the brainbusters have marginal cases individually, and as a tag team they have none

tenkoji being on the ballot together is also bizarre

It doesn't.

sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't

It's not a problem for lucha because they don't have anybody in that category but some years voting for a non-wrestler, let's say Gary Hart, would count as a vote in the Modern US category, bringing down everyone else in that category's average even if it doesn't count towards your 10 votes. Some years it doesn't.

if you actually want summaries of whatever the big controversies are on wrestling twitter Last Word on Wrestling is the only place that does decent breakdowns

Money in the Bank and Royal Rumble, dawg
2 of the last 3 MITBs were 1) a single brand ppv, and 2) a house show they rescheduled on very little notice into a network special in the middle of a 4 month run where they were doing network specials every two weeks

bix covered the content fairly well and i did post about it on twitter as it was happening its your own fault for not following me so i will instead share an anecdote

at the end he promised to open the lines up to people who want to ask a question but because there were three people on the call he instead turned our mics on one at a time to ask us if we had a question

the first person was the plant mentioned in the article, the second was me but i was answering the door because i ordered a pizza and he just kept throwing to me, over and over, for about a minute. So while im signing my receipt i can hear his crazy voice repeating "mr [oatgan] do you have a question? are you there? mr [oatgan]? do have you a question for me." Eventually i typed "i dont have a question" in the chat and he finally moved on to bix who didn't have headphones in so the audio from his laptop was being picked up by his mic and it caused a feedback loop of unlistenable distorted audio

that was the Q&A portion

generally enjoy him breaking down the specifics of why something worked or what theyre doing wrong in the ring when hes actually having fun doing either but he can get really stupid when talking storylines and angles. More "heres what they did" less "heres what they should have done"

bored/miserable podcasting can be fun in short bursts but if you arent having fun talking about why something sucked its tedious to listen to for long stretches, a negative review every week should still be fun to listen to. Just speaking generally here im no longer a subscriber idk how bryan sounds these days but even the worst poo poo during the attitude era wwf/nitro reviews was fun to listen to them talk about when i still was because it was clear they were looking forward to doing it
