Here is my encounter with Prime:
Lkdg32: Hi
AceofSpades85: ?
AceofSpades85: identify yourself human
Lkdg32: This isn't 1996 for the Ultimo Dragon
Lkdg32: This is 2003, he is way past his prime
AceofSpades85: you're right
Lkdg32: I doubt see the point of bringing him in when there are plenty of other cruiserweights out there
AceofSpades85: but the why the hell are you bothering me with this here
AceofSpades85: I am a mark for him
Lkdg32: so you know
Lkdg32: still are?
AceofSpades85: I don't care if his workrate isn't up to par with his old work
Lkdg32: have you seen his recent stuff?
AceofSpades85: no I haven't
Lkdg32: I have a question
Lkdg32: When exactly was his botched arm surgery?
AceofSpades85: Not sure exactly, but I believe 1997 or 1998
Lkdg32: he should have never came back
Lkdg32: 28-32 is prime, 33+ you decline
Lkdg32: even if he is 100% health wise, he will never be as good, because of age
AceofSpades85: I don't hold everyone to a predefined standard
Lkdg32: Everyone applies to that standard
AceofSpades85: for most, yes, late 20's early 30's is prime
AceofSpades85: that is your opinion, not fact
Lkdg32: it is fact, because it hasn't been disproven
AceofSpades85: just because something hasn't been disproven doesn't make it fact
AceofSpades85: do rocks think?
Lkdg32: but it has been proven to apply to numerous people
AceofSpades85: you can disprove that theory, so by your standards, it must be true
Lkdg32: that prime concept
Lkdg32: and it hasn't been disproven
AceofSpades85: numerous people isn't everyone
Lkdg32: Rocks can't think because they are not living
AceofSpades85: what about plants then
Lkdg32: Right, but it doesn't matter how many people its been proven to
Lkdg32: Scientists can't conduct experiments on everyone
Lkdg32: If it applies to a lot of things or people, and it can't be disproven, it becomes law
AceofSpades85: Thats why you can't hold a measuring stick up to everyoen and expect it to fit
AceofSpades85: Law of what?
Lkdg32: it becomes scientific law
Lkdg32: the prime concept applies to many people and it hasn't been disproven, so it is fact
AceofSpades85: Alright, lets say that you're right and Ultimo Dragon is past his prime, ect
Lkdg32: he can only get worse
Lkdg32: doesn't mean he sucks, it just means he isn't as good as he used to be, and can only decline more
AceofSpades85: I don't think he's gonna get any better, and with time, of course his skills will deplete
AceofSpades85: that doesn't mean that I still won't enjoy his work, because I liked him when I was a mark and didn't know anything about the business
Lkdg32: How is Ultimo Dragon better than Great Sasuke or Jushin Liger?
AceofSpades85: I never said he was
AceofSpades85: But frankly, I haven't seen hardly any Sasuke or Liger matches
AceofSpades85: I'm a big puro mark, although I'd like to see more
AceofSpades85: not a big puro mark*
AceofSpades85: What I want to know is, what are you hoping to accomplish by arguing this with me?
Lkdg32: Arguing what with you?
Lkdg32: What are we arguing?
AceofSpades85: Maybe arguing was the wrong term
Lkdg32: I IMed you to tell you that Ultimo is past his prime, and it doesn't make much sense why WWE would want him
AceofSpades85: WWE doesn't do many things that make sense
Lkdg32: Right
AceofSpades85: and sure, UItimo will probably be jobbing on Velocity to A-Train before too much longer
Lkdg32: The main thing that doesn't make sense is putting HBK over HHH
AceofSpades85: and Dragon probably won't be used properly in WWE
Lkdg32: If HBK wasn't a draw in his prime, how can he be a draw as a nostalgia act?
AceofSpades85: thats a whole nother story
Lkdg32: And HHH is the bigger draw that HBK ever was
Lkdg32: It never makes sense to put a non draw over a draw
AceofSpades85: he was sort of a draw, but nothing that good
Lkdg32: not a draw at all
AceofSpades85: Mable was not a draw at all
Lkdg32: right
AceofSpades85: HBK was to a certain extent
AceofSpades85: although not that much
Lkdg32: he drawed decently for a couple of months
Lkdg32: then that was it
AceofSpades85: yeah
Lkdg32: in 1996
Lkdg32: People didn't care about HBK vs British Bulldog at KOTR 96 or HBK vs Vader at Summerslam 96
AceofSpades85: I won't argue with you as I've only been watching wrestling since 97' and that was WCW until 2000
Lkdg32: But they were probably interested in HBK vs Diesel for Good Friends, Better Enemies
AceofSpades85: probably
AceofSpades85: because like it or not, Diesel was a bigger draw than Bulldog
Lkdg32: The only time people cared about the Bulldog was at Summerslam 92, and only because it was in England
AceofSpades85: yeah
AceofSpades85: what is your name on the Smart Marks
Lkdg32: I am Prime
Lkdg32: go to the general forum
AceofSpades85: ok
Lkdg32: and click the Acknowledge Prime thread
AceofSpades85: k
AceofSpades85: ah ok, Nevermortal, gotcha
Lkdg32: no
Lkdg32: that isn't me
Lkdg32: he talked to me
AceofSpades85: oh
Lkdg32: there are tons of transcripts in there
Lkdg32: of people vs me
Lkdg32: i am the one with the random screennames
AceofSpades85: yes
AceofSpades85: so let me ask, what is the purpose of your talking to these people. everyone seems pretty pissed about it
Lkdg32: Purpose is to inform them of prime
Lkdg32: They must acknowledge the concept
Lkdg32: If they don't, I continue to IM them until they do
AceofSpades85: I see.
