For those that love Dave Meltzer shows, you’ll be pleased to know that today’s episode is an hour and a half long, a new record! We discuss everything under the sun, including Montreal (it’s the 9 year anniversary today), Dave’s thoughts at the time, Eric Bischoff, what Bischoff said about Dave in the book and the reality of the situation, whether an argument can be made that Bischoff did the most damage to the wrestling business of anyone in the last 20 years, the PPV this past Sunday, the Carlito match, the women’s match, TNA under Russo thus far, the WWF/WWE lawsuit, Ultimate Fighter tomorrow night and the buzz on UFC, predictions for Tito vs. Liddell, Kurt Angle being pulled from WOL and what may have happened there, a funny conversation Dave had with Vince McMahon years back, sources in wrestling, crazy differences between this business and nearly every other normal business in the world, how he stays motivated to put out two Observers a week, Ultimate Fighter and why this season sucked, Test’s push in ECW, his first memories of wrestling, unmotivated WWE workers, the wacky Angle/Puder feud, and TONS more. A fantastic show!

From Eddie Ellner to Eric Embry, we’ve got all your Apterrific needs covered. Tune in for quite possibly the most KAYFABULOUS~! show in F4W history~!

November 8 2006 Figure Four Daily
We’re joined by Dave Prazak today to talk the SHIMMER Women’s Wrestling one-year anniversary and Ring of Honor. We’ll discuss goals for the first year and the future, the possibility of crowning a champion, Rebecca Knox’s health status, Nattie Neidhart and whether she’s going to WWE, other women he’s interested in around the country, the business model and whether it’s successful, Bryan Danielson’s shoulder injury and how he’s doing, JIM CORNETTE’S IMPEACHMENT, whether he or Gabe Sapolski would have taken the TNA booking job if they’d been asked (which they weren’t, and either was Cornette), and tons more. We’ve also got a news update discussing a new WWE signee and my thoughts on him having seen him wrestle a number of times, what happened with Tully Blanchard and JBL, and tons more. A packed show today!

November 7 2006 Bryan and Vinny Show
We’re back for a packed Bryan & Vinny Show! Stupidity in wrestling continues as we’ve got to run down some TNA spoilers for the next few weeks (always a good time, second only to reviewing Russo-booked shows), a wretched, wretched Raw saved only by the single most absurd heel ref shenanigan in wrestling history, the below-backyard-caliber-worker that is Carlito, the diamond in the coal mine that is John Cena, a mixed-bag Guerreros del Ring, and the NICK HOGAN SHOW~! which featured guest appearances from Brooke and Hulk. Best of all, today’s show is free, so please post the link or file elsewhere and help spread the word~!

November 4 2006 Bryan and Vinny Show
We’re joined by our buddy Craig IN STUDIO~! today — and I hope he enjoyed it because he and Vince might both be banned for life if I don’t get a good night’s sleep this evening — for the weekend Bryan & Vinny Extravaganza!!! We’ve got a ton of stuff to discuss including the rest of the ROH East Windsor show we started last week (headlined by Bryan Danielson vs. Homicide for the ROH Title); Smackdown and ECW, which were certainly better than last week, not that this is saying much; TUF, which was just as boring as ever; and TNA, which may, in fact, have been even worse than last week. Since I’m about to go to sleep and might forget this in the morning, I’d just like to suggest now — and this is a friendly suggestion, not something in jest — that maybe next week Vince Russo can book a POLE ON A POLE MATCH where the first guy to climb a pole and grab a pole suspended on the first pole gets the right to fight in a pole match the next week on TV. So anyway, that plus news on Kurt Angle’s first TV match, you know, the one that happens prior to his first PPV match, happy birthday wishes to my dad, Granny~!, and sister (oops, we gave that away) and tons more!~! Nothing like a good meltdown to start the weekend.

November 2 2006 Figure Four Daily
Buddy Wayne is back to talk pro-wrestling training~! After a slow start, we really get rolling with a discussion on what goes into putting a pro-wrestling match together, what goes into putting a pro-wrestling feud together, the point of stipulation matches, some memorable ones and some not-so-memorable ones, what it means to enjoy “working with” an opponent, what it means to be able to do a match and not talk to each other, much advice for young aspiring pro-wrestling, what Buddy has learned as a trainer, the time he had a rope break on him, how to run the ropes and how not to run the ropes, and tons more!

November 2 2006 Adam and Mike Show
Adam and Mike are back with a show that was a labour of love. Without the love. Listen as two grown men melt down during the hour-plus culmination to a show that took 862 hours to record. Come for the KENTA-Marufuji discussion, and stay for the rest of the October 29th doings. Or stay for P.N. News vs. Johnny B. Badd, where to find “Unspoiled Filipina Maidens who desire friendship and marriage,” the most unfortunate pronunciation of the day, arena reports, boobies, vacations, and the knowledge of where you can find “Thin or Thick White Tablets.” Lord knows that after this you may need them. So hooligans mount up, and prepare to get unwell, it’s the BIG AUDIO NIGHTMARE~! here at F4WOnline.com.
