Dave & I hadn't recorded in person in over 2 years since the pandemic after recording in person for most of our shows together. We were back today for the
#WrestleMania
Q&A for the Fight Game Media Patreon.
.
Show with
@davemeltzerWON
drops late tonight!
Dave and I recorded an interview with
@JRsBBQ
talking about Danny Hodge. Right when we hung up with Jim, we saw the news about Jon and re-recorded the intro.
@davemeltzerWON
I’ve been watching the Star Wars prequels and figured out that the pop culture character Seth Rollins reminds me most of is petulant Anakin Skywalker from episodes 2 and 3.
I had to save the Observer today. Chrystal and I walked to
@davemeltzerWON
’s house so we could fix his sound bar. He can now watch all the shows for
#WON
and
#WOR
. Proof of our

We just finished a show with Kenny Omega that will be up later tonight. Probably the best show we've done, free flow on a ton of topics from his health situation, birth and early days of AEW, Cody, videogame, future of sports consumption, teaching college classes & more
Imagine Peter Gammons calling John McNamara a name because he was called out for being wrong on something. And then Peter’s wife coming to his side to say that he has indeed had sex before. This is why the business is shunned. These are our reporters. Low self esteem industry.
She cooked and hosted Thanksgiving dinner for my kids, her kids, my ex-wife, her ex-husband, and my bro-in-law. And did it without much of a sweat. She’s A1.
Wrestling Observer Radio with myself,
@davemeltzerWON
, &
#AEW
's
@JonMoxley
will be up in a bit.
But you can listen to a short audio clip from the show of Jon talking about how the pandemic changed his 2020, but also, it helped raised the stakes of his match with KENTA.
@WONF4W
AEW finally coming to the Bay? TK probably got tired of Dave and me asking him every time we talked.
Seriously, classic spot. TV should be fun wherever it is.
Don’t worry guys. Dave is on my flight. After finishing the Observer at 1AM and waking up to make his flight at 4AM, he’s good. He may pass out, but he’s good.
#AEWAllOut
I first met
@EmperorBigD
who was writing music reviews at Epinions 20 years ago. We’ve been friends ever since, but never met in person until last night. Thanks to the good brother Draven for setting it up!
Eddie Kingston explained the New Japan Pro Wrestling history in under a minute and then said if anyone picks Jay White to win, they don’t get it. He had game face on to say the least.
#njbitv
New interview with
@KennyOmegamanX
is up! And yes, Danielson and Punk were brought up.
We also talked about IMPACT Kenny vs AEW Kenny, favorite AEW memories so far, the women's division, his psychology for wrestling in front of no fans and tons more.
@davemeltzerWON
Finally, two guys who understand how to do this. They're communicating physically and verbally and not just doing the same match they'd do in front of a crowd. This is really good.

.@FilthyTomLawlor removes his gloves and places them at the center of the cage — despite currently sitting in fourth place in the 2021 PFL Light Heavyweight standings, which would qualify him for the Playoffs. Keep an eye on this situation as it develops.

John and I have been doing the show for several years now and it's great to be at the best wrestling website on the planet. First show drops tomorrow morning.
@LaRoccaJL
Dave and I just finished an episode of
#WOR
talking about the latest on WrestleMania, AEW Dynamite, empty arena wrestling and the risks, Smackdown, Dana, Braun and we save the Benoit doc review for the end. Should be up in a few hours.
It's been almost 20 years since eYada shut down. On the
#WOR
that's coming out shortly,
@davemeltzerWON
& I spend some time going over the idea, how he get involved, when he called
@bryanalvarez
to co-host, favorite guests, and how that show relates to this website. Fun chat!
Dave is out of town at the moment and I have family in town as we prepare for my aunt’s celebration of life, so I don’t think we’ll do our normal Friday show. We may be back mid-week next week.

@WONF4W
The entire WWE family is deeply saddened by the passing of Jon Huber, known to the WWE Universe as Luke Harper. Our thoughts are with Jon’s family, friends, and fans.
Twitter fam: Chrystal and I are getting married on August 1st. We’re hosting a Zoom wedding and we can invite anyone who wants to attend. If you want to join us, hit me in the DM and I’ll make sure you get the link.
Perhaps the issue is that you typically write so poorly, and are so grammar adverse, that you’re the only one who can make sense of your writing without experiencing vertigo.

I really enjoyed
#WOR
with
@davemeltzerWON
tonight. We talked about Cain Velasquez,
#SmackDownOnFOX
, a super deep dive into the Wednesday Night War ratings, and a lot of news.
Jericho might’ve won promo of the year all because of tonight. That was awesome. Even tried changing Hager’s last name to sound like Sammy Hagar.
#AEWDynamite
Wow. How dare Dave be right on the money with that Ronda story (from months ago)? He’s got some nerve. Good on those WWE apologists to use the power of their 37 Twitter followers to curse his name appropriately.
