An annoying guy and a borderline depressed guy. What a pair.

I read the big guys statement and he makes a valid point..But I cringed when he said "this isn't about money" then goes to write how the guys who put talent over are underpaid.
The best way to get ahead of McMahon is to go to his office and be vocal. He likes people who challenge him but for some reason all the jobbers in WWE are scared to speak up, lol.

Given he's all over their stuff, I guess it's more like Edge circumstances

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Yeah, but Japanese culture is different. Honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like in America where you can become successful by being an asshole.
Roman, publicly apologize and go heel or you can kiss your heat goodbye.

Hosted by Mick Foley? Does my man Mick have a podcast now?
Pretty sure it was a mix of Giantbomb not wanting a guy in Chicago and Klepek drew a ton of heat.
Plus I don't think the people liked that a website that professed a need for diversity in the gaming media space hires 2 of Jeff's buddies.
Austin Walker and the recent push to get new voices a blog space and attention is the best thing about Giantbomb right now.
Maybe? This is the first of its kind.
I see. I guess we'll see how he does.

Why Foley?
What did Klepek get heat for/from? His stance on social issues from weird MRAs?

Mick is on it for the same reason Stone Cold randomly showed up on a Raw one day: they want to promote that schlock Mick is doing on the Network with his daughter. The frame story is that they're both "crazy high spot guys."

I guess he could use that if he can't get the rights to "the big guy"

Ryback doesn't post that if 1) he thinks he's not done and 2) he cares about not being done
Imagine a company being so internally toxic even Ryback, a person ingrained for this shit, says "no thanks" and bails one day

Ryback gets tipped off on a lawyer. He makes all the wrong moves and loses the case. Ryback calls him, furious.
Ryback: "What the hell are you doing? I've lost everything!"
Lawyer: "I'm sorry Ryan..."
The phone call disconnects
Ryback: "Wait what?"
Zoom out....behind him!
It's Punk! ....and he's got a steel chair.
"You really are dumb as fuck"
Cut to black.
Next week on Impact Wrestling.
He was always getting heat from people and most of it is really unwarranted. I think at the time Max Temkin was having some issues while Klepek was hosting an off-site list podcast. He did nothing wrong but I don't think CBSi wanted that attention. And frankly Patrick was working his ass off at the time considering something like 80 percent of the content on the site was by him.
Looking back at the whole gg thing I really wish people put up a blog post early on saying it was nothing instead of letting social media dictate the conversation.

Oh God, really? I thought he just wanted more competition. Have fun in TNA Ryback.

Nobody is going to a show to see Ryback. He's a lumbering meathead with no personality and zero charisma.

This has happened a lot since I started watching again. Happened with Dave Bautista twice, Eve Torres, and now potentially DA BIG GUY.
I assumed at first that he was just busy. But then you guys reminded me that Mick has a dumb show starting up, so Austin probably realizes that and doesn't mind because Mick's his homeboy.
he was accused of rape.

There was a ton of drama going on at the time and I think both Patrick and Giantbomb wanted to do different things.
I don't think Patrick would get the clicks for an article talking about a crucial game issue while Dan is trying to turn giantbomb into wrestlezone.

And why would I want them?
Man that Enzo injury. Just now getting caught up on payback. That shit was scary I would have been shocked had I seen it live.

Patrick left because he probably got more money from kotaku, wanted to do more news/investigative stuff. Also he was in Chicago away from everyone

While I wouldn't put it past Alex to hold a party and not invite anyone, I'll assume that's not the case here.

Let us not so quickly forget the credentials of our good pal Ryback...
- An original Nexus member, remember the Nexus*? gooooood times
- Was the single success story from the Spring Squash Season of 2012, while Tensai and eventually Brodus Clay would fall Ryback actually stayed over through the art of squashing jobbers, sometimes two at the same time!
- The original target of the Shield upon debuting, Big Guy was too threatening!
- The last man eliminated from the 2013 Rumble, only Super Cena could stop him.
- Had one of the most logically explained heel turns in WWE history complete with reasoning that delved into continuity beyond 3 months earlier and addresing the fact that Cena always lets people get mugged
- Stumbled into the Punkverse of 2013
- Endured the biggest shit show of a chamber match to become IC champ
- Cut a heartfelt promo about his fave book as part of the shortlived talking era, he tried to get the audience to read!
What a guy, a big guy even.
*(so is Heath Slater the only surviving Nexus member? because i'm pretty sure everyone pegged him as the first guy out the door back in 2010)

When he first came onto the Bombcast he had a reputation for dominating the conversation. He also never had the natural comedic timings that Jeff or Ryan had. Vinny too, in his own "dad humor" sort of way.

I assume you have no dialogue with children who very much enjoy Ryback and his brightly colored shirts.
Dumb as fuck indeed!
Also, Ryback Rules era Bully Ryback was delightful
Easily, it's embarrassing how trash the Beastcast is. Absolute dogshit and is so bad its even taken someone who was enjoyable (Vinny) and made him terrible. It's such a bummer Austin is stuck there with those slimes.
