    Advice On Meeting Wrestlers

    Should've called her "Trish".

    I was just curious

    I heard about SKeith through Rajah, and the Keith version of the board was pimped on some Rajah column. I lurked for a long while, and I can't remember what made me decide to start posting. I think it was on the end of the writing run i did on WrestlingClassics back before one of it's deaths.

    Were the Transformers Homosexuals?

    This is the main reason the movie is hard to watch, and freaked me out as a kid. It was like every big character just got the axe. I remember losing my mind during the Megatron-to-Galvatron scene, but I can't remember why. Galvatron destroying Starscream in two seconds but not being able to do that to anyone else was just silly. As someone said, it was that final "fuck you" to all of the G1 fans by taking out one of their idols in the most hum-ho of fashions. No fighting, no giant battle, just ZAP! and it's over. Galvatron then crushes a crown that nobody had ever seen before, which must have come from the same supply closet as the Matrix that nobody had ever seen before.

    Jim Ross d. Triple H!!!!

    HHH won't play the Mr. McMahon "evil boss" card...he'll play the Steve Austin "put yourself over the actual talent" card.

    Your idea for a "pimped" world title?

    Just have him tell all the fans that his chain and lock are the new WWE title. Watch as SKeith suicide bombs himself by rushing the ring when Smackdown goes to Canada. Or conversely, have Cena come out and introduce his NEW championship belt.... otherwise known as Kamala. Kamala then becomes a walking talking WWE title, and when Cena loses it, the wrestler has to take Kamala instead of a leather-and-gold belt. Hijinks most surely ensue.

    WWE hiring staff writer

    I am trying to put what I am thinking into words, but it's hard. WWE is a scripted television show in which the viewer at home can see the live studio audience. It's the only show like that of it's kind. If the WWE dropped away from trying to be totally 'real' and instead acted 'television real' it might make for a better product. No fan can watch Cena acting all "street thug" on Thursday, and then switch to Experience on Sunday (or in the old days Confidential) and see him eating sushi or whatever. It's not in his character. It is telling the world "this guy is a big time wrestler...but it's just a character." and then we have to act concerned on Thursday when he gets beaten up by 10 guys. On one level it works, but on another it is just stupid. I mean, people might freak out over the newest storyline twist for LOST or when Jack takes an evil boot to the face on 24, but when it isn't 8 or 9 on a Thursday or a Tuesday or whatever, you aren't seeing Jack Bauer going to movie openings...you are seeing Keifer Sutherland. In WWE land, we are seeing Randy Orton getting his shoulder torn apart by Batista, and then on the Tonight Show three days later acting as if nothing happened (but he's injured). They need to take away the "THIS IS REAL" factor from their main four wrestling shows and instead treat it as a scripted yet very interactive television show. TRULY THE ONLY ONE OF IT'S KIND. They are trying too hard to blur the lines between reality and television reality, and it has started to hurt them. They need to pay more and more attention to storyline and continuity, they need to bring in new characters and take away characters sometimes, they need to bring you in emotionally like sitcoms and dramas do, giving you those little laughs or those tear jerking moments or those "mark out" moments. WWE is not good enough at that. Their central cast of characters is either too large or too small depending on your definition of central, and their use of peripheral characters is too wonky. I compare someone like the Hurricane to someone like Puddy from Seinfeld. Memorable enough that you give a shit and react when he appears, but not around often enough for you to get super-attached and disappointed when he isn't around. That is basically Hurricane's position at present. He might get a little push now and then, but eventually it's Exit Stage Left. WWE needs to completely reform their rosters. They need to cut down the TV rosters, at least, so that these extra guys aren't popping up at random for one-shot jobs. Fans don't care if you beat the crap out of someone they have never heard of. Benjamin and Hassan are getting/got over because they are challenging and defeating big shots like HBK and HHH. It might not mean much to the storyline they are in currently, and it doesn't hurt HHH or HBK at all. It stays on the back of the mind of the fans and in a year when they want to take Shelton all the way, they have a VERY nice way of doing it and getting a good feud out of it. So, as I was saying, they need to cut down on the rosters, and keep those wrestlers that fans already care about, along with a few that have the potential to be big names. The others should appear only when they are going to be a part of a storyline and not as small cameo jobs, even on the B shows. Save tryout matches for the dark matches and house shows. Jobbers should be done away with. Either make something of them, or don't let them on tv to waste time. I am ranting again, but I think you get the point. I'd rather see WWE Raw and Smackdown play to the television reality than the "real" reality, and use their programming time ALOT more efficently as it pertains to character and storyline development, not Joe Davis from Passaic, NJ getting pinned in 12 seconds because Kane is angry.

    Anti-Grover Cleveland....that lazy dead motherfucker. Yeah. I would listen to that.

    Funeral Service for the Italian and 24/7 Titles

    Being as I haven't read a thing since a few weeks after i tried to stage a comeback, I apologize. Yeah, I was asked about it, and I *suspected* that after the whole thing with PRL that there would be some sort of angle put around it. That seems to be the case, whether or not it sucks is not my problem. I say, if someone would like to take either one, do it. It can't hurt. Hell, unify them if you have to. Seriously...it can't hurt.

    KFC Snacker

    This could go in the "industry secrets" page, but... The meat that you ate came off the bone of the original and extra crispy chicken that was thrown away the night before. What I mean is, at the end of the night they take all the chicken left, but the wings, and save all the meat (minus bones and skin) and then the next day (or two) they cut it or rip it up and use it in the Pot Pies and the BBQ Sandwiches. It is kept refrigerated overnight.

    KFC Snacker

    Strip size is highly random. I've heard everything from how big they are to "these things are smaller than Chicken Selects". Late last month, a KFC in either Texas or California sold 996 of them in a single day, and I believe that is still the sales record. I've heard reports of other stores hitting the 750 mark a few times.

    Nintendo the Music

    Mortal Kombat. Sure it was a SNES game, but it still rules. You should have gotten that from one guy yelling "MORTAL KOMBAT!" and the "FINISH HIM!" My favorite part now... the guy controlling Mario throwing the controller after he dies.

    That was one of the greatest things I've ever seen. Tetris was the bomb.

    I'm going to buy Jasmin's 3PW promotion

    At first i was thinking "gotta be a joke" ...then I clicked it and well... it's still a joke, but not in the same context.

    Has anyone here applied/wanted to work for WWE?

    but my idea is for him to play total face, and say that everyone in the crowd wants to be JUST LIKE HIM, and so he starts referring to all of them as "Marks" ... I can just see it now... "YOU ALL ARE A BUNCH OF MARKS, ARENT YOU!" (crowd EXPLODES) "THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT" I would totally Shopzone a "100% Mark" t-shirt. His finisher would, of course, be called "The Mark Out"

    Has anyone here applied/wanted to work for WWE?

    i know, how many times can you say "HHH goes against _____, HHH wins." Sure, he isn't winning all the time anymore, but he knows where to take his shots. I have two things i would love to do... 1) Make Hassan the low-card highlight of every show (moreso than now) 2) Make Mark Jindrak more over than any smark could imagine.

    Has anyone here applied/wanted to work for WWE?

    I still would do it. In a second. I think alot of the "hell" one would go through there would involve trying to book main event stuff. Dealing with the lockerroom leaders and things of that nature. I think that if you went to Steph or whomever your boss would be (as a newbie in the field) and said you wanted to concentrate on finding things for some of the mid and lowcard talent to do. They were having trouble finding things for EVERYONE to do last summer, and while I would shy away from the Hunters, JBLs, Cenas, and etc...I would try to gravitate more around the Cruisers and maybe some of the mid-card Raw guys (Snitsky needs something new to do, ya know) Plus...I already have my plan to get Jindrak over huge.

    Man has been in college for 11 years

    UW-Whitewater is where both one of my floridian roommates and John Belushi hailed from. It's an awesome school, and i'd probably stay there for 11 or 12 years too.

    Favorite weapons

    Shawn and Austin using the band's gear at WM14(?) I agree with Vachon's leg. Also the use of the camera boom arms the few times they've been done (OTE98 had one i think) Foley's Giant Bag of Popcorn against Owen
