The Amazing Rando

"IT'S NOT MY FAULT!!"

Okay, you make a point, I do have moments where I wonder "why the fuck are they doing this?" But i'm not one to simply ask the question because when i do, more questions come through my head and I have to answer those, which brings more and more questions. If you ask: What is wrong with the product? The questions that immediately come to mind are: What were the bookers thinking? Why did Vince approve this? Where are (insert wrestler) and why haven't they been around lately? That last question brings forth a whole new question: Why can't people who are paid thousands of dollars a year to write storylines for the wrestlers able to do it when it seems they need to? Sure, there is only 3 hours of true TV time every week to do new things for each brand, but if they cut the "recap" stuff out of HeAT and Velocity, they could use it to produce actual angles. Sure, Raw and SD are the two big shows, but you can't look at Raw and SD as HHH and Kurt Angle and then look at Velocity and HeAT as Stevie Richards and the Bashams. Velocity and Heat will never get anyone over unless they let it, and right now they don't want to let it because they "don't want the spotlight taken away from the top". Well my question to them, as it's always has been... Why take the spotlight away from the top when you can just make the spotlight bigger and brighter?

They'll at least give him a decent little push before burying him once he starts to get somewhat over. I say mid-November.

When any large gathering of individuals with similiar interests gets to talking, there are bound to be arguments. The IWC is one of those such gatherings. Thousands of people who were never and probably never are going to be part of the wrestling business, yet think they know exactly what needs to be done to fix it. Now, I won't count myself out on this because I am one of those such people, and I'm not even saying that it's a bad thing, but there are those that do have a certain intelligence and a mind for what they see on TV and what they believe through the dirtsheets and think that they can do it better. When I look at the product, I usually don't think of what is happening backstage. I try to look at the on-screen product and try to think of ways of improving it. I may be way off myself, but as with the addage Piss just brought up on AIM... those who yell the loudest are usually the ones who shouldn't be yelling at all. Luckily, on TSM, the posters that choose the analytical approach seem to have the mind for it. People such as RRR, for example. He can break things down and figure out ways of making things better. Sometimes he does this for comedic purposes, but sometimes it is a genuine understanding that comes out in what he posts, showing that he does not need to rely on cheap gags, one-liners, and other such tomfoolery to keep his name known around the board. I am not here to discredit the posters who rely on comedy, but if EVERY poster around was nothing but a joke machine 24/7, we wouldn't have a board anymore...or at least not a respectable one. As Piss stated above, there are some great posters lurking through the WWE Folder, but since they use a methodical approach with their intelligence, it is usually overshadowed when the comedy comes out, because the comedic aspect of the board is "louder" than the intelligent, analytical aspect. It's kind of like what Wolf Blitzer said about the CIA.... "You never hear about the successes, only the failures." The mods here are basically the complaint department of the entire board, and so all they hear about are the "failures" because for 1) there is no reason to tout a successful thread and 2) the successes are what the mods and the rest of the board wants. Sadly, not every thread can be a winner, and disputes pop up all the time because that is the kind of group we are. I have no real problem with the group we are, it's a healthy environment most of the time, but when those few select individuals choose to really "speak the loudest" and drown out what good is done, then and only then do problems arise. EDIT: Geez I hate when I go all "journal entry" like that.

I fall on the "Mostly Analytical, Sometimes Quickwitical" side of the fence

(paraphrased) "It has a special cloaking device that makes it look like two hobos fighting over a cheese sandwich"

Someone's been dipping into the cough syrup again.

If the IWC sugar-coated everything, there would be no IWC. it would be the IMC, Internet Mark Community. Heck, even the WWE's own website doesn't completely go super-mark. It understands that if we five years olds with computers want to visit them on the web, we want to see some of that insider stuff!

"Optimus Prime is Jewish?!"

*cough* Throw it down, Czech.

Oh and I forgot to mention... Fuck Norway.

Raw:Heat::The Simpsons:Treehouse of Horror

Okay then...I stand by my two previous guesses then.

Who says the attire isn't for CAW stuff? I mean, if that WAS said... then my vote goes for Mr. America or maybe the Rockers outfit for HBK.

I haven't been following the HOLTs... but it's an honor to battle Fugue on the set-up to the biggest show of the year. Dub Cee, you made my week.

call it... Rickets.

^ not sure whether i should be proud to be in the sig above me.

My ideas for that "alternate costume fans will get a kick out of": - Mr. America - Bret or Owen Hart - Mr. Perfect singlet - Giant Gonzalez - The Gooker - LOD - Sting Or the ULTIMATE... - The Warrior

Kottke is pretty sweet. He did a bit of work with Mike Gordon as well and both of them together are quite the gift to the ears.

Why would they put you in charge of the GRAPHICS folder... you can't even draw.

It's the reason file-sharing was invented...cause you KNOW someone will buy it.

*hits the RKO on Czech through the GC Folder*

(from a Nitro) Sting: For all the fans out there that are wondering what the future holds for Sting...well, the only thing that's for sure about Sting...is that nothing is for sure. (grabs baseball bat) It's Showtime, Folks!

How can you call something a "Greatest Hits" album if there is NEW SHIT ON IT! Grrr... I don't care about them doing it, but save the new shit for a new album. If people care enough about you then they will buy the GH album without any incentive.
