Childs, do you really think any single person writing these articles will see Dave's tweet?

Do you not see the difference? Also it would totally depend on when and how it was tweeted.

Incorrect. One person did that. Almost no one else did.

You know what's fun? People A: This was a little socially clueless, maybe shouldn't had said that. People B: Isn't it amazing how people will get outraged about anything? I'm outraged. People A: We are not outraged at all, it just came off wrong. People B: People will get outraged over anything.

It's like the people going on about snowflakes, who are the actually real snowflakes.

Why because Bruno just died today. That's why people don't like it. I saw that he paid tribute and that's the right thing to have done. A significant news story ? It's a fecking sell out number for msg from over forty years ago. I'm not desperate to be outraged but bringing it up today but now isn't the time or place. Bruno's death is a significant news story. I know that when I'm writing an obituary for a prominent person, which I've done plenty of times, I work extra hard to get the facts right. An obituary is like the final word on someone's life. If anything, I'd argue it's more important to be careful with the details in that context. I know if I were writing Bruno's obituary, I would be happy that Dave, as an authority in the field, clarified this point. Then maybe don't go on twitter, and just send correction notices to people writing the article with the mistake in it? Why shouldn't he post factual (and in no way negative or critical) information on Twitter? Have we really become this infantilized? I don't even get where people are coming from with this. Not one person who is writing these stories will read Dave's twitter. He has corrected nothing. Also, it's just about timing. The amount of sell outs he did is irrelevant today, especially for stories on ESPN's website or whatever.

WWE Network... It's Here
Odd question, but what was wrong with the SuperBrawl V originals? The ppv on the network starts midway through the opener and says it's presented in best form possible. By 1995, I thought WCW would have their stuff in good shape.

WWE TV 4/16-4/22, it's getting drafty in here...
You should, the show has been amazing since Enzo left. The slow build to that tag feud has been great. I'm sure it will continue to escalate from here.

Ok, looking at the move and assuming male heels for male heels, female faces for female faces, etc.. these are the trades: Natalya for Asuka Riot Squad for Absolution Breezango & Ascension for The Bar & Gallows/Anderson Bobby Roode, Zack Ryder, & Chad Gable for Jeff Hardy & R-Truth\ Baron Corbin, Jinder Mahal, Mojo Rawley, Dolph Ziggler, & Mike Kanellis for Samoa Joe, The Miz, & Big Cass These are Adam Larsson for Taylor Hall level of shitty trades.

Who Booked This? The Podcast Thread
JR Goldberg and myself have started a new show. First episode is now up, and a new one will be up every Monday (we have three more recorded and are trying to stay way ahead). We are taking look at the bizarre and shitty of wrestling and we start off with the very first Punjabi Prison Match between Big Show and The Undertaker from the 2006 Great American Bash. Enjoy on the PWO Podcast Network! https://soundcloud.com/prowrestlingonly/wbt001

I never said anything about concussions though? I swear, sometimes this board is worse than the game "telephone." Seriously? Someone: Jesus, Jinder hit Jeff with three legit head shots in that match You: He deserves it. What do you think legit head shots do?

Sorry, not sorry. When you recklessly endanger other people's lives by driving under the influence, you're a selfish piece of shit and I don't care what happens to you. Yes, DUI's are the fucking worse and I'd probably want them fired. However giving them concussions is not cool.

Pretty sure bad booking killed SD, their roster was pretty fucking good after last year's shakeup. Booking was shit, yes. However the show fell apart right after the shake up, so it may be just more coincidence.

Stacey should be the only person to ever give reviews on anything, because she's the beset.

As long as, after this, they do something with Becky Lynch. SD has been shit, so hopefully something helps them unlike the last shake up, which pretty much killed their show.

Post-Mania WWE TV (04/09 - 04/15)
Like I said, it was never the plan. Maybe Jannetty would have won the title at Mania after failing at the Rumble, but since he got fired, Tatanka was just a replacement who wasn't supposed to win the title. You should listen to Bruce's podcast about Michaels in 92/93. I saw a podcast about 90s WWF ppv with Bruce but the interviewer was such a asshole kept butting in calling bullshit when something was explained. Bruce deserved more respect than that. I've listened to a few of Bruce's podcast, Conrad usually only calls bullshit when it's bullshit. If Bruce is spouting bullshit, why shouldn't he be called out on it?

They should had switched the two women's title matches, had Jax more squash Bliss and have Bliss as Braun's partner.

To introduce Ken Shamrock. That was basically it. Rewatch Survivor Series. Austin uses the Texas Cloverleaf and the Octopus in an attempt to make Bret submit. JR and Vince talked a lot about making the other one submit. Heck Austin lost because he didn't let go of the Million Dollar Dream. The submission match was a logical extension of Survivor Series.

That or Backlash should had been women only.
