A blog eh... so I guess I can sorta write "Shades" again but in a totally condensed random whatever comes to mind format... which is kinda how the full fleged columns were if I had enough ideas and time to write one.

So last night some people were throwing a bit of a fit over Vengeance and demanding no one order a PPV that was "obviously being booked in an attempt to outdo ECW's PPV", apparently forgetting it's all the same company.

In return, I became somewhat frustrated and made several posts about how retarded this theory was and for whatever reason decided to use PPV buyrate figures for ONS that are so preliminary that Dave Meltzer (the most respected source for fair and balanced wrestling news on the internet) has pretty much said "they could be right, but the figure could just as easily be 300,000".

Well, I still don't put any merit into the "WWE is trying to kill ECW's PPV success" theory (HHH? Maybe. Vince and/or 'WWE'? No.) I guess I shouldn't have used unproven numbers to back up my point. However, I would like to point out that after whatever page contained the many posts (or perhaps one or two that were quoted frequently and thus appeared a lot) calling for the boycott, the later pages all seemed to back up the "that theory is dumb" idea.

And hey, I also managed to make a reference to the early 90s "McWorld" commercials that people seemed to enjoy so that made my night.
