Downhome

Yeah, Patrick Duffy and celery.

Well thank you for clearing that up. I was afraid that I wasn't going to be able to post anymore. You know that I always back up what I say, and I never say anything for the purpose of pissing people off. I try to stay positive, because quite frankly, if I didn't I would go insane with rage.

Wow, I want both of these then, AND the Foley DVD that I have yet to buy. Is this the last round of awesome WWE DVDs for a while?

Like other people said before, I think most of the times people asked for the thread to be killed, it was done more so just to mock the guy. It was like a wreck, where people actually did want to see where it went, just because it was so freaking stupid. If it was closed because it wasn't really anything to do with LSD, then why can't we just move it to General or HD?

No, it would go like this: (RAWMVP wakes up, sitting straight up in his bed, scene changes to his bedroom, complete with WWE festoonery and various archaic communist posters. He speaks with a mixture of fatigue and disappointment.) RAWMVP: It was all a dream... (RAWMVP looks at the foot of his bed, where the dead body of a young Russian woman is lying across the width of the bed.) RAWMVP: OR WAS IT? (curtain) Touch. Well, maybe you should add in some more big words though.

When do they come out, and what all is on both of them exactly?

I would like to publicly ask the other mods just what the following that Sass said to me in an AIM conversation means, and if it's true. "Sassqcuatch: Your apologetic nonsense is sickening and one of the things that will be curtailed in that folder" Does that mean that I am no longer able to be my usual positive and optimistic self, or what?

I understand that, it just came across to me as odd seeing a mod say what he said in that thread he started, as I thought that sort of stuff was what you wanted to put an end to. If it isn't, then I'm sorry and just "fuck it". As for the point that you want to end one word posts, etc... does that include the OaO thread where peopel go "ROCKYYYYYYYYYYYYY!" when say, Rocky walks out, etc...? I'd also like to say that I have nothing at all against any of the three new mods of the WWE folder. I can't say that about other people though.

His final post should simply be... "And then I woke up, and OMG, it was all just a dream!"

I was pushing it because I simply wanted them to explain why it was ok for them to use such mindless comments in a thread started by a mod, when the entire idea here lately is to curve stuff like that in the WWE folder. Besides, everyone who knows me know that I don't want any trouble, and most of what I say is sarcastic when it does sound in the least bit off base from my character. As for KK, well, I guess that we are never allowed to post anything off topic ever again. Is that a fair assumption?

I'm ok with Rocky going to Hollywood if he wants, more power to the guy if that's what he wants. I'll see his films and I'll always be in his corner if this is what he wants to do now.

Well I warn everyone on this board, AND your mama.

I really don't see what the big deal is. All I was trying to say (and it was obvious to just about everyone other than Sass apparently), is that I didn't think it was cool for a mod to go spouting off lines calling sites a "bastard stepchild" and the such, when I thought the entire idea about the mods and the such was to end such remarks, etc... But apparently I'm some sort of troublemaker or something.

I understand all of that, and if Rocky was a full time player then it obviously wouldn't matter if everyone went crazy for him night after night. Hell, by his being on the show full time it would get the crowd into the rest of the show, because he does give off a certain energy that does reflect an entire show. But as it is now, his showing up out of nowhere to get that huge pop, it just looks quite odd and does reflect bad on everyone else, but like I said, it's just to me I guess.

I still want to know just why in the world the thread is going to be closed as long as people are still wanting to talk about it.

If he MUST be on TV, then this is how I'd use the guy. Keep him out of the way of actual talent/feuds, and just be used to pop the crowd. Even with this though, it's still just jerking the fans around making them think once again that the guy that they love more than anyone else is "back". It also makes all of the other talent look somewhat bad when they bust their asses off week after week and no matter who they are in WWE right now, they NEVER get a response like that of Rocky, and then when he shows up out of nowhere they go apeshit like they always have for him.

In all fairness DH, the reason why the Hurricane push didn't work out is because they failed to book him correctly after he beat both Rock and Flair. Had Rocky been there to actually have some sort of a program with the guy, his push would have worked. You don't push people by having them blindly beat some big name guy here and there by being "lucky", people push and the pushes work by giving the fans something to actually care about, and Rocky could have done it for the guy. Just by someone beating say, Rocky or Flair, doesn't = a push. I've seen it said before and I'll say it myself, wins in this industry doesn't mean that much anymore, if it's not done with some sort of meaningfull feud. That's why I don't see what it helps anyone by having Rocky show up here and there, and loosing to someone, it doesn't help push anyone at all. If Rocky can't stay around long enough (the RR-WM timeline for example, that was a perfect idea) to be part of some sort of feud, then he serves no purpose for me. But hey, that's just me, if some of you guys are ok with him showing up every few months for the cheap pop, then more power to you. I'll mark out right along with everyone else, but at the end of the night I'll not be pleased with what happened.

Ahhhhhh, this whole "he put over The Hurricane" business and other such comments drive me crazy. What good did that do exactly? So he lost to Hurricane once, what did it accomplish? Oh yes, now I remember, it didn't accomplish anything at all. It happened, and that's all. It didn't put Hurricane over anymore than he is now. It was just one of those things that happen to pop a crowd for a single night, that's it. Most of the "marks" don't even remember that it happened. Perhaps Rocky needs to relearn what "putting someone over" is all about. It's not about wrestling a single match for no good reason other than to just do it, and then loose to the guy. It's about being in a program with someone, allowing the other person to get the upper hand and to keep it, and then allow the momentum from that event, to carry them forward. He didn't put Hurricane over, he simply lost to him once for it to just be forgotten in time. If you want a more recent example of putting someone over, look at HHH/Foley, and hell, look at Orton/Foley. Foley has already put Orton over, and it hasn't even involved him LOOSING to the guy yet. Now that I think about it, putting someone over doesn't even involve a loss...it's all about making the other guy look good, and not just for one show. With all of that said, Rocky didn't even put Goldberg over, he just lost to him. If anything, and this isn't anything at all against Rocky because it wasn't in his hands I don't believe, but if anything he made Goldberg look bad just by working with him. As I've said before, Rocky vs. just about anyone is a bad deal, if his opponent is trying to play the role of the face.

Hmmmmm ok...so putting over Hurricane, and Goldberg on PPV and being involved from February til the end of April only counts as one or two shows and there was no purpose. So much for us all being "smart" marks. You can't even be considered and common sense mark yet. Think about what you just said, read Papacita's post, then get back to me when you are able to give an opinion without resorting to bullshit putdowns and the such.

Because over the last year, his coming back just for one or two shows, or whatever, have served no purpose. He shows up, cuts a promo or wrestles one match, and leaves. It doesn't help any of the workers, does nothing for WWE longterm, and it takes up a spot of someone who IS there full time. I see no reason for him to keep coming back if he can't stay for more than a couple of weeks or so. Yes it has. He not only said in interviews over and over again that he would be in WWE for most of 2004 up untill WrestleMania XX, but he actually said it on a WWE program RAW. I've been awaiting his return to the show, ready to see him finally be involved in an actual program with someone that lasts for more than a few short weeks, and he has yet to deliver. He'll show up for WrestleMania XX, but why should I care? He more than likely wont be on RAW the next night or anytime in the recent future, so just why? Why insert him into a major program out of nowhere for no good reason? It might be awesome when he IS there, but it helps nothing at all. I'm just sick of it, I want him to either be in WWE or not be, either way is fine with me by this point.

I love the guy when he's around, I wish that he'd just stay in WWE because he does add to the entire company just by being there. I'm simply tired of him showing up out of nowhere for no good reason other than he has a day off or something in Hollywood. I'm even more pissed at hearing rumors of him coming back, or hell him saying it himself, and then waiting and waiting show by show for him to finally show up and start a feud with someone, only for it to not happen. It's starting to make me not care, and like I said, basicly wish he'd either stay for a while or just never come back anymore period.

Don't forget that Fairuza Balk plays the role of Dorothy in Return to Oz, and does a damn good job at it if you ask me. Check out http://www.returntoozthemovie.com/home.html to see some pictures and everything else. *sigh* This was one of the first films that I ever saw in a theater, and the first movie I ever saw with a "girlfriend", lol.

Then screw him, I wish he'd either just stay or go away forever.

If it was closed because it is, obviously, a joke, then why not just move it to General or HD?

I have created .GIFs, but they are always like, 1.whatever MBs. How in the world can I make the file size smaller?
