@dustinrhodes hey Dustin huge fan and I see ur pretty active on X but just wanted to tag u in this as I’d love to interview u for my pod. This is my most recent interview with D’Lo Brown. Think you’d really get a sense of my passion, knowledge, memory, attention to detail and how I process the wrestling business. Guarantee I’d ask u questions you’ve never been asked before. I’d make observations, connections, references you’d never heard before and it would be a good time. If u see this and are interested feel free to dm me
New interview on re-branded Convos with Chris channel with D’Lo Brown @dlobrown75 . A staple of the Attitude Era. Little preview & link below. Feel free to leave any feedback, commentary
1st slide - How he would summarize his career to someone not the most familiar with him
2nd slide - What it meant creatively to be put in the nation
3rd slide - Wrestlers breaking character and how the business isn’t protected anymore
4th slide - More my analysis on the art and predictability of the match. How wrestlers shouldnt do regular moves after their finisher. It kills the believability and suspense bc i know they’re gonna kick out.

2:30 if he was involved in the lifestyle extracurriculars
3:50 how he would describe his career in a few words

15:00 wrestlers not staying in character, 16:37 insult to fans

20:13 fans personality
21:03 art of a match, matches are more scripted now

@themolacoaster@JimmyTraina Wow didn’t remember that that CBS didn’t air 1pm games. Good call lol. Crazy when u think about that now. Idk if I agree about tomorrow afternoon tho bc it’s a regular work day and also if it goes like 4, 5 hours it could be a problem
I really hate tweeting sports media stuff but last thing I’m gonna say, and I know this is a tradition somehow, but scheduling the US Open final at 1pm on week 1 of the nfl season might be the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen. I’m not the biggest tennis guy but is it like law they have to start and end the tournament at this time every year? Wouldn’t it make sense to start it and end it where the final would end on like a Tuesday? When they’re not going up against by far the most popular sport in the country. Especially week 1 too when everyone and their mother has been waiting for this day for months
I think ESPN has the best pregame show. I thought it used to be FOX and I still think they have the best personalities but they’ve lost their fastball and collectively they’re not as diehard fans as they used to be. I think Bradshaw carries FOX tho and I’ll still watch bc of him and his charisma. CBS I won’t even watch a second of. Nate Burleson and now Russell Wilson I’ll pass
I like Chris Fowler but I don’t wanna hear about him being a workaholic. He’s not this beloved sportscaster (I.e. Scully, Marv Albert, Doc Emrick) ppl clamor to see on Saturday nights. He can take a week off and I’d bet my non-existent mortgage that if McDonough was on the call the rating would be the same. Said this too after Kevin Burkhardt did game 7 of the World Series and nfl the next day.
