I get the feeling there are a few posters here who would check out a 2023 bikini contest between Missy and Madusa. Not gonna name their names.

I'm proud of Meltz though. Not long ago he'd have shamed her for the fatty she is.

Thought the bump was going to be about Dave seeing the Rock/HHH backstage segment from the 15th anniversary Smackdown (2014) and thinking it was new. o_O

Where's this at? Looks like Meltz had to post 200 tweets today arguing about AEW's valuations so I don't see anything about this.

Oh no the Observer awards are being released Friday. Surely a nice rational discourse debating them like every year will take place.

This list is bullshit. Booker being worst announcer? hoarse shit.

That tells me all I need to know about these voters.

Who the fuck was the winner from 2001-2019? TNA?
Yeah, Meltzer hates TNA. It was probably lucky to finish in the top three at its peaks


Looking at the Wikipedia
2001-03: Pride
2004-05: Pro Wrestling NOAH
2006-11: UFC
2012-19: NJPW

What a bunch of malarkey that that MMA promotions won nine of them. GD Meltzer.

Dave was very complimentary towards TNA especially around 2005-06 before they brought Russo back. So much so that it was a common complaint on the DVDVR board that “Meltzer is a TNA shill.” But I’m going based on the Observer (bullshit) rather than Cyrus posts (the real scoop) so I may be wrong.

WWE hasn't exactly been must see these past two decades but the fact that they didn't get Best Promotion for over 20 years is really odd (especially in favor of MMA).
