Scroby

I finally picked up the IC title history tonight. I haven't seen it anywhere since it's released, I don't know if that means that it's been selling like hot cakes or maybe retailers got limited numbers of them, but I finally saw one tonight and picked it up. Though it was a tough choice. Frys also had one Starcade collection so I had to choose between the History of the IC title and the Starcade collection. Since this was the first time I actually found the IC title dvd, I went with that one. Hopefully I didn't make a mistake.

I think I'm going to pick that dvd up.

So it's just a rumor then?

This is what I get for defending the WWE folder. I think that he absolutely does not speak for the WWE folder with comments like that. Hey, I'd be all for Batista getting cut. It'd be a horrible business decision, but I could certainly get by with never seeing Batista again. I agree it would be a bad business decision, but this guy gets injured every year. He's had to relinquish the World title, what- twice? So bring him back for the money matches, then cut him in the next round. Why so he could make money for TNA or for some promotion in Japan? I understand that he does get hurt a lot but that's mainly due to his muscle and size. If he were to slim down like HHH did years ago, he wouldn't get injured as much.

In the ass!

I'd like more Referees to be cut please.....*shifty eyes*

I don't see this news anywhere on WWE.com. Was it announced on Smackdown?

Japan and Indies probably.

I never understood why Earthquake and Ultimate Warrior were wearing vests in those coverarts.

That's horrible for D-lo. The WWE really should have tried to do more with him other than just having him on Raw.

Did anyone else notice that the entire Impact audience got entirely silent after Jarrett said "Kurt!"? That was a very cool thing. That's when you know TNA has their fans eating up this storyline.

I have both a PS3 and a Xbox 360. Shall I mention Fallout 3, Gta 4 getting exclusive only for the 360 DLC? That's kind of different though. GTA DLC is a contract Rockstar has with Xbox, I don't know the reasoning for Fallout 3. Those games are a bit different though than Smackdown vs Raw. This should be a universal DLC that comes out at the same time for both systems. Ok, well Fallout 3 and GTA 4 should be universal as well. I sorta agree but Rockstar has been fucking Microsoft over with that exclusive shit for years so that's why they're doing it. I think Bethesda just likes the 360 a lot more than the PS3 since Oblivion got a bunch of DLC stuff way before the PS3 verison did.

The Referee vs the guy(s) who hates America has already been done. TNA's doing it well, but it's already been done.

Again I repeat, Fuck this PS3 only/first shit!

Works for Meltzer.

Does TNA normally take forever to send merchandise to you? I bought a Curryman shirt from them almost a month ago and it still hasn't shipped out yet. It's almost been a freaking month.

It will suck. That's all you need to know. When I got my Nintendo I got Gyromote and Duck Hunt.

The Greeter is just a holiday seasonal thing. Basically the sales reps, the customer service reps, and the managers can't really keep track of who came in the store first when the store is busy during the holidays because they're all helping customers, so Verizon got smart and went though temp companies to get seasonal greeters to help out.

*raises hand*

1. Who are you and what's your business here? Scroby, I started reading TNA reviews from Dames and after e-mailing him a few times, he invited me to join the forums. At first I was against it because I figured it was a bunch of dumbasses pretending they knew everything about pro wrestling...I was only half right. 2. When did you discover an interest in wrestling? When I was a kid I used to watch Superstars on Fox and Wrestling Challenge on USA. 3. The Company Line: WWE, WCW, ECW, and TNA. I tried following stuff like XPW, but without tv it was very hard to follow, plus the announcers sucked. 4. (Not So) Favourites: A. Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart, Ultimate Warrior (I was so, so, so young), Mr. Perfect, Jake Roberts, Ted Dibiase, LOD, and Randy Savage. I always loved watching their matches, even though I hated Dibiase and Mr. Perfect as a kid, though I loved their music. B. Skinner. I found him really boring even as a kid. I just didn't care for him and always saw him as someone who just didn't fit. Repoman as well, mostly because he beat the hell out of someone and it was really the first time I've seen someone just beat the hell out of someone. The motorcity machine guns, I just don't get their appeal. They're matches aren't to bad but they're not decent either. They're just a pair of spot monkeys who don't sell very well at all. C. William Regal, Kurt Angle, Team 3D, The Undertaker, HBK, Mr. Kennedy. There's very few people who I get excited about now a days. Though Mark Henry is really starting to grow on me. 5. How would you gauge your current interest level in the product? WWE: I get pretty bored with it pretty quickly, though after a few weeks of being bored with the product, a show or two or a upcoming PPV event (Royal Rumble, Wrestlemania) will re-spark my interest then after a few weeks of a show pretty much repeating itself, I'll get re-bored with the WWE. TNA: The problem with TNA is that I'll forget to watch it and won't watch it for a few weeks just because I don't care. TNA isn't to bad now, but it still could be a lot better and focus on more wrestling without screwy finishes. 6. At what point in wrestling history (if it's not now) would you consider your interest to have been at it's peak? I've always been interested in Pro Wrestling, I can't think of a time when I didn't like watching pro wrestling. 7. At what point could you tell your interest was dipping and why do you think this happened, or what specific event(s) triggered the decrease? WWE and TNA now adays have really decreased my interest in watching their shows. There's just nothing they can do now storyline wise that can keep me glued to their product. There's to little wrestling or when there's a good amount of wrestling the match either sucks or has a horrible finish. 8. Have you ALWAYS stuck with wrestling even during times of low interest, or are there any lengths of time you stopped watching for a period only to come back at a later date? 9. If applicable, at what point did you decide to pack in the wrestling fandom? Never have. Interesting Questions of a Somewhat Random Nature 10. What style of pro wrestling best resonates with your personal tastes? Chain wrestling or matches that have great psychology. 11. Where do you "draw the line" with the whole "suspended disbelief" deal? If anything I try to figure out where the storyline or gimmick is going. 12. Do you attend live events? I try to, but WWE is really expensive and TNA never comes to California. I go to Nor-Cal indy shows a lot. 13. If applicable, what are the best and worst experiences you've had going to a show live? Raw in Oakland: The Rock's return after Austin walked out. No Way Out in San Francisco: Eddie winning the title. WrestleFanFest 2007: Bad: A lot of people got fucked over by the promoter and Big Vision Entertainment. Good: I had a great fucking weekend. 14. What are your favourite matches, moments, or events? I really don't have any, my memory is really shot. I normally watch a match and think "this was really good or this will be really good." 15. Freestyle Stop believing everything Meltzer or PWI tell you...sheep.

This poll is a sham, La Parka isn't a choice!

I'm sorta that way as well. The last few jobs that didn't really require me to take breaks I just took a lunch because I had to clock out or I'd either be fired or would have missed out on pay. The thing with the greeter job is that I really just don't care about it. It's a temp job that's just a weekly paycheck to help me pay my bills and gets me some job experience. Not a whole lot but it helps. At the same time though, I'm really not trying to get fired or in trouble and I'm paid by the hour, so I get two 15 minutes breaks and one one hour lunch when I work a 9 hour day. My lunch isn't a paid lunch, so why should I skip down on my lunch when I'm not paid for any of it? Plus I'm just a fucking greeter, my job is this.... "Hi, how are you doing? What brings you in today? Here's who can help you." Or... "sorry we're a little busy with customers but you're (either) first in line or have a certain number of people and I'll get you someone as soon as I can." You're telling me you can't manage your store without me in it? How the hell did you become an assistant manager?

And you're late.

Assistant mangers who think they're higher than the law when it comes to employees taking breaks and then suggests that you stay later so he can go eat. I'm doing a temp job as a greeter at a Verizon Wireless store and I have this one assistant manager who thinks he's very high and mighty and hates it when people take a lunch or a break. He's actually asked me "why?" when I told him I was going to my lunch. He later that night said he doesn't understand why people need to take lunches and breaks because he doesn't always take his breaks and he gets angry when people do and everyone should be like him. I looked at him and told him "sorry, it's the law that I take my breaks.". Tonight I didn't take my last 15 minute break cause it was pretty busy and I didn't feel like hearing him cry about how I was taking a break, plus I'm pretty nice about leaving the store when it's busy. About 13 minutes before I was about to get off work for the night, he walked by me and says "you can't leave because I haven't ate yet.". I left anyways at 7 o'clock when I was suppose to. The store was empty so I didn't have much of a problem leaving since there was a sales rep available. My job doesn't interfere with their jobs at all unless it's busy and they have no one to keep track of who entered the store and when and their jobs doesn't interfere with mine at all, so why should I have to wait for someone to eat when A) there's no one in the store and B) when he doesn't care if I get my breaks or not? I hate dicks like this.
