[Ultra Mantis]

Nia Jax is the shits.

[RP]

I'm pretty sure Dave Metzler is not bound by the Hippocratic oath so if he did obtain any medical records, it would be a violation for whoever gave them to him, and just questionable etichs on Metzlers part.

[Seanny One Ball]

It has nothing to do with the hippocratic oath. It's data protection.
HIPAA stands for Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.

thats true. I'm confusing the two. I dont think he's bound by HIPPA.

[Black Widow]

Hate both but will side with the Samoan gorilla here.

Fuck the original internet nerd!

[Emperor Smeat]

Seems the whole issue centers around people thinking Meltzer actually said or implied Reigns is faking his cancer in a recent Observer Radio episode which wasn't the case. He's been more outspoken towards those who think this is just an elaborate ruse by WWE to get fans to cheer Reigns.

Also seems he either got bad medical advice regarding chemo pills or whoever told him didn't think its that effective for a quick recovery and managing of the disease while also staying active as a wrestler.

[slik]

It's all Ryan Satin's fault, he started it by posting this:


<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Speculating about storylines, upcoming matches and locker room “heat” is one thing ... but Meltzer saying Roman isn’t telling the truth about his cancer treatment is not ok.

[DAMN iNATOR]

LOL, the irony in Nia calling someone else a piece of shit when she's notoriously dangerous in the ring is just too delicious.

[ClockShot]

Bad as this is sounding, Meltzer has a bit of a point.

I'm no medical expert or anything. But, is it normal/on-track/average that leukemia could be in remission after 4 months since his announcement? It does sound funky unless there's treatment out there that really kicks some ass.

I've had family members and friends go through a year plus of chemotherapy. Some beat it, others not so lucky.

you got kicked out of basic training/boot camp (something of that ilk) for not knowing what to do with a grenade after pulling the pin. i wish that was a joke, but alas, it isn't. does your dad chew your food for you too?

ooooo link please?

[Ruien]

You wont get kicked out of bootcamp for not throwing a grenade.

[Wehttam]

hey, i will admit i am wrong. he did not get 'kicked out' for that. my bad. you win this one, Ruien.

he just flunked so it was probably a comedy of errors

Nah, man. I was actually waiting to be released from the Army for of all things, flunking out of basic training, in this "detachment company"

And, just FYI, I did have one experience that was pretty terrifying...during the day we trained with hand grenades. My stupid ass started what they call "cooking off" a grenade, i. e. pulling the pin out and then not immediately throwing the damn thing. Luckily someone was there to grab my hand and throw the fucking thing or I'd have probably been minus at least a few digits, maybe my whole hand. It doesn't excuse it, but I think I just froze/tensed up with fear or something when it came to be my turn to demonstrate that I knew how to toss a freaking hand grenade. It was horrible in the moment, but I can at least look back now and be glad I didn't lose any fingers or my hand.

[DAMN iNATOR]

There were other factors too, but I honestly don't give a fuck anymore since it was 20 years ago this summer/fall.

In my defense though, I did take everything the gas chamber could throw at me like a champ. It had 0 effect on me, and literally everyone else was gagging/vomiting/had red eyes/snotty noses/trouble breathing...was honestly pretty funny listening to the D.I. ream everyone else out instead of me for once.

[RP]

wait.

You just pull the pin , throw/release the lever. How did you not know that?

[Ruien]

I think we should all be proud that DAMN has actually had a job and received a legit paycheck. Congrats DAMN.

[Wehttam]

you were born to shit in a bucket and rarely shower. you are living out your destiny

Yeah, everyone has at least thought of it. A couple years ago it would have been just that. A passing thought. But after the Saudi Arabia stuff, I'm not sure I'd put this past them.

Been listening to Meltzer audio shows lately and what this guy says is right...

[Mr. Nerfect]

Nia Jax is a piece of shit.

[Tom Guycott]

Totally misunderstood the context of the thread title. I thought it was another Paige situation.

[slik]

While I do like Dave, I wanted to add his messageboard is really creepy. It's full of people who will defend every small thing he says, right or wrong, to the death, in multi-page threads. It's sort of like a cult where he is this infallible leader, who is the authority on everything, and is not to be questioned.

[Mr. Nerfect]

There is no group creepier than the Reddit page that worships Bruce Prichard, of all people.

[slik]

What reddit page is that? It's not squared circle, haven't seen any of that there really.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I can’t remember. I avoid it. I think they might have spread throughout the rest of the internet. These people do exist though. Literally think that because someone was there, they must be telling the truth.

[Bad News Gertner]

Lol reddit just destroys poor David Bixenspan

[Mr. Nerfect]

Haha, what’s wrong with Bix?

[Bad News Gertner]

Lol Google David Bixenspan reddit and you'll see. They are brutal oh him.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Jesus. It seems no one can really explain the hate though. They just think he’s a twat.

[Innovator]

Army dropped grenades from basic last year since the recruits weren't strong enough.

[Bad News Gertner]

Jesus. It seems no one can really explain the hate though. They just think he’s a twat.

Bix says really stupid things at times. He also makes mountains out of molehills a lot.

[ClockShot]

WWE Hall of Famers are determined by votes?

I thought Vince and a small circle of voices was the be all end all for that.

[Fignuts]

Well this induction is for Harlem Heat as a unit. Say what you will about Stevie as an individual performer, but Harlem Heat were one of the top tag teams during one of the most important eras in wrestling history. I’m fine with this induction.

[slik]

I only wish Sister Sherri was included w/ them

Seems to be the default excuse from wrestlers and others whenever anyone criticizes WWE's Hall and its legitimacy.

If he's also throwing shade at the Observer's Hall of Fame, only reason Harlem Heat is not in that one is due to its more tougher voting process.

[erickman]

I wonder if harlem heat will get involved in kofi going to wrestlemania, it is a surprise stevie never working for wwe getting in but I like it

They were the only two that looked more intimidating than the Steiners. At least in my mind they did.

Lol plus it's not Meltzer determining who gets in.

Meltzer also hasnt been the biggest Stevie Ray fan over the years and rightfully so. Stevie Ray sucked ass.

[Bad News Gertner]

Stevie Ray's podcast is amazing by the way

[Fignuts]

Fucking love Stevie’s podcast

[Bad News Gertner]

Lol nobody talks about it but its fucking tremendous.

... and adding Stevie Ray to the title certanly hasn't helped with this.

I saw a Stevie Ray vs Vince Russo clip from his podcast a couple years ago. It was fucking weird. Lol

Judging by this year’s class it’s names out of a hat.
