This is the wrong era to say everyone gets belts. He also pumps NJPW, which is a company I love that DOES REALLY give everyone a belt at some point in their time there.

Dave had a busy weekend putting the Young Bucks over the Rock and Roll Express due to merch sales as everyone yelled at him since JCP's merch was near non-existent. Yet it was an ongoing battle for 24 hours +
Both sides made correct points but yeah, that should not have gone that long.

Yeah...no, sorry. Nothing Janela does in the ring matches anything Foley did on an individual level, from either a quality of work standpoint or selling. He's one hell of a fucking promoter, though, and his presence outmatches his stature.

I don't hate Janela but Moxley and Callihan were always hailed as the second-comings of Foley by pretty much everybody (which I've always disputed as Mox always channeled a more "Loose Cannon" Brian Pillman-vibe with me). It's so weird to see Janela put into that equation by Dave.

I always thought Janela was more of a modern day "Hot Stuff" Eddie Gilbert if only for his choice in attire. ;)

I think most people plugged into the situation over there know that the Nazi Germany comparisons are very accurate even though people would like to ignore them. What we have is a case of a society where every citizen must believe in the same religion and not go against the system or they will be murdered. Before the war, Vince would definitely take money from Nazi Germany and leave the Jewish wrestlers at home. That is an undisputed fact because this is the same thing, like it or not. The fact is that Saudi Arabia is the only country in the world where women's soccer, and until recently women's sports in general, are literally banned. The only reason women are allowed to do any sport in that country is because the Olympics threatened to ban the country entirely. As soccer is the sport that the entire world plays and watches, and it is the most popular sport in the country, this is nothing short of a disgrace.

WWE is doing business with, as well as booking the company around that country because Vince wants more money. He would totally do the same thing in other countries if those countries existed and were not sanctioned. The only reason he didn't do business in South Africa is because the concept of taking the company international wasn't on his mind until they'd already been sanctioned. Trust me, he would have. They sent the boys over to Iraq where they could have been killed.

The 12.5 percent of US homes is absolute garbage nonsense. The man needs an editor.

I've read that twice and I still don't know what the fuck Dave's point is.

That there are people still buying PPVs, and that the WWE fans that do aren't the same ones buying Impact, ROH, or AEW PPVs, so those companies are reaching other fans.

I very rarely agree with vcrwrestling on twitter (he's super pro wwe/anti Meltz and everything else) but damn Dave was so wrong here.
