Jeff Vs The World Presents "I'm Not Dave" Wrestling Podcast

·1 hr 17 min·5 clips

Jeff and Manny argue the Bloodline storyline is still only in the third inning and could be the greatest of all time.

The episode opens with hosts Jeff and Manny Brown reuniting after a hiatus. They immediately launch into a deep analysis of WWE's Bloodline storyline, praising its layers and longevity, with Manny suggesting it might be his favorite of all time. This leads to a broader discussion about the importance of storytelling in wrestling versus pure in-ring athleticism. Manny critiques AEW, comparing it to 'Ring of Honor on steroids,' focusing on great matches but lacking consistent, compelling narratives. They evaluate Triple H's booking, giving him an 'A' grade for making every segment feel purposeful compared to the repetitive Vince McMahon era. The hosts then debate whether loyal fans share blame for enduring years of poor WWE product by not turning away. A significant portion is dedicated to the toxic nature of online wrestling discourse, particularly the bad-faith use of TV ratings without context, drawing a comparison to the Monday Night Wars. The conversation shifts to talent evaluation, discussing why Ricochet's WWE run may have been limited by his promo skills and whether AEW has a true mainstream 'face of the company,' with MJF and Will Ospreay being central examples. They analyze AEW's structural issues, suggesting Tony Khan is too much of a 'fanboy' and needs to delegate creative control. The episode concludes with plans to review the Forbidden Door and Money in the Bank events next week.
