Imagine how much in the dark we'd be over China's various political crimes, Russia's Invasion of Ukraine would probably be reported late by like weeks, and the Arab Spring event wouldn't have happened.

 

[Hoss]

not even a little lol he was just a solid hand and was helpful backstage from what I've heard

I think he actually booked IWA PR to its best business ever iirc

 

[Comrade Khan]

we would be reading the paper and it would not be in live time

An uncited segment of his wiki page: "Mantel set a record while in Puerto Rico (IWA), in the number of hours that a single writer produced a TV wrestling show as he was responsible for four hours a week, 52 weeks a year, for a total of 208 hours a year for five years straight. His ratings also set records as his shows regularly ranged in the 12 to 15 range, with his highest being an 18.1, with a 55 share of the TV viewing audience while working for WWC in 2000."

 

[Hoss]

Therefore completely possible that it's untrue/exaggerated

 

[Comrade Khan]

[Chris]

I'd almost guarantee thats from Meltzer even tho it's uncited lol

Tony Khan's on course to beat that "number of hours booked" record

 

[Leon TrotSky]

But I do blame the Internet for a lot of things

 

[Comrade Khan]

speaking of TK and booking, apparently Dbry is heavy in the creative team these days

 

[Comrade Khan]

think I read he was one of if not the lead booked on certain feuds, including Shibata

 

[Comrade Khan]

pretty cool
