I think a lot of people are just expecting Cody to win the Rumble, talk about how he’s the savior of black people and win the WWE Title and that’s that. I was underwhelmed by the idea of Cody even being in WWE. But you’re probably going to get a story that involves some good promos, some strong angles and the best ideas of Heyman, Triple H, Cody and Roman.
It wouldn’t surprise me if Seth gets involved, maybe edges out Sami as the Honorary Uce. It may not seem that epic, but Seth vs. Sami could be a Mania match. The Roman/Cody story could filter through to all these other programs. It’s not going to just be “I have won the Royal Rumble. I am getting a title shot. I am the good guy. I will beat you. Grrr.” |

Look at all these racists who don't want cody to beat reigns and free black people from oppression.

One of The Fraze's "favorite" things about AEW is Britt Baker. Love is blind.

Who do you think will be signed by AEW this week? I feel like it’s been slow on the signings.

I dunno why it formatted weird..... Anyway - the last bit there is key. This is how I currently see CAWdy. He's shallow, and just kinda there. Sami at least makes more sense (right now) and shows a lot more depth. Need to see more of CAWdy on screen in WWE. Gotta wash off that Dashing stank. |

CAWdy gets beat so senseless at Mania, he forgets who he is, goes back to being Dashing Cody Rhodes and becomes the 3rd member of Maximum Male Models. Book it. |

Nick Hausman appeared on Meltzer’s show. Was interesting to hear them basically swap stories about not knowing what is going on. Meltzer kind of walked back his story about Punk being “voted off the island.” Hausman implied he was curious as to who it was and Meltzer admitted that Punk has friends there and Alvarez interjected and said that what he thinks Dave meant is that if you asked some people they wouldn’t expect Punk to be back — which is an entirely different thing all together.

Serious question, if Tiny booked Colt Cabana for Dynamite tomorrow, would the fans cheer him or boo him? How pissed would Phil be if Colt got a standing ovation?

At this point, I’m biased against him — I recommend listening to the interview yourself. It’s 23 minutes or something on YouTube. But that’s what I got from it lol. Dave didn’t really fight on the point that there are people who like Punk in AEW at all.

His reporting this whole time has been so lopsided. He should be ashamed. I'm not saying Jim Cornette's conspiracy theories are any better, but JFC at least he's not pretending to be objective.

Dave gets way too close “if you don’t agree with me, you’re arguing with facts.” I’ve hated his coverage of AEW. I don’t even think it benefits AEW. It would have benefitted them to hear more honesty in the beginning from someone other than Cornette.

It's crazy how Dave has made a career covering professional wrestling while rarely actually knowing anything.

I used to defend him. I’m sure he used to get stories. But his coverage now…it’s just so wrong. Has it always been that way?

I used to pay F4Online for a subscription, I enjoyed their daily podcasts/radio shows for years. I can't really say exactly when I stopped subscribing to their service, but it's been probably 3-4 years at least.
It's really quite clear that their whole existence in this era is fairly unnecessary. There is no curtain for pro wrestling, the owners do shoot interviews constantly and the talent do the same all day long on twitter. It's really rare to actually get into a pro wrestling angle because we are all so drastically aware of how the strings are pulled. The insider journalists had a place when there was mystery but there is really no mystery in the business any more. |

Dirtsheet reporters have always been kinda trash though, the whole lot of em. Their job is basically to spoil scripted shows and people paid them for that.
Think about how mad people get about spoilers for movies or shows or books or games or anything else. Now imagine paying people for that info. Like wtf? It's never made sense to me. It's like riding through the parking lot of walmart at midnight screeching "SNAPE KILLS DUMBLEDORE ON PAGE 728!!! THAT'LL BE $4.99!" |

JBL has stated numerous times going all the way back to his Justin Hawk Bradshaw days that the boys would purposefully feed Dave bullshit because they thought it was funny to make him look bad. That is going back to at least 1995.
I do not have any real recollection of him ever breaking any real stories until he got in with The Elite, so of course he is going to be loyal to them to a degree. Prior to 1995 before there was internet boards, I guess maybe Dave got away with taking educated guesses and an actual mailed out newsletter have him more time before he was proved wrong. He could sell the "Plans Changed" bullshit a bit better, but I can't imagine he has ever been anything but a weird mark conning people out of money under the guise that he is a legitimate reporter. Spoiler, he is not. |

I guess social media has changed things drastically too. Back in the day, wrestlers would have used Dave to actually get their opinion out at all. Now, wrestlers have direct platforms to the fans. You would have gotten Dave eating a lot of bullshit and it’s not like the guy with Vince’s ear was going to be talking — there’s always that hearsay element to the gossip he was reporting — but now a wrestler can just go on Twitter and say “I am misused.” They don’t need that middle-man.
