Cheech came up with an idea recently that has been agreed upon. Scott Keith is going to do a question and answer segment with us here at TSM. Cheech contacted him, and he agreed to do the Q & A. For those of you who do not know Scott, he has written the following books on professional wrestling: "The Buzz on Professional Wrestling" "Tonight...in This Very Ring: A Fan's History of Professional Wrestling" "Wrestling's One Ring Circus: The Death of the World Wrestling Federation" "Wrestling's Made Men: Breaking the WWE's Glass Ceiling" Also, he has a book coming out on Chris Benoit. Scott kept a pro wrestling FAQ for a long time and wrote for some of the bigger wrestling websites along the way. He started a website named Rantsylvania, which morphed into The Smarks. TSM has existed in some form or fashion from the forums on those sites up until our current incarnation. Scott's current website is http://www.rspwfaq.com. This session will be hosted in the WWE folder, but we are pinning the topic in every wrestling folder so you will be aware of it. Please post any questions you would like Scott to answer in the WWE folder thread. Please refrain from rude or unnecessary questions or comments for Scott. If necessary, we will delete questions of that nature before sending them for Scott to answer. This thread will be up until Monday or so, and then we will close it and forward the questions we have. Hopefully, this will lead to similar projects in the future.

Umaga uses a variation of the catatonic where he releases his opponent.

Maybe not a bad idea, twizted. It would take a universal effort to keep that format, though. We could certainly try that.

You need to add the word "shat" to your vocabulary. You won't find it in Webster's but it is the past tense of shit.

While that makes sense to you and I, others don't want anything spoiled. That is why I am asking it here. Frankly, I think if it is a spoiler of any sort, it can be brought up in the spoiler thread. Matt asked if we could put the match list in the show thread, so I'm seeing if that is okay with the masses. We want to do what the majority of the folder agrees upon. If there are a bunch of posters who would rather not know any of the matches, random or not, then they shouldn't have that "spoiled" for them whether we think that way or not.

Honestly, I think the reason that he was getting comparisons to The Rock were because I lot of wrestlers were getting that comparison. Remember Rob Conway? He got that comparison on here for a while. One major reason for that could be that WWE was constantly trying to make the next Rock. Orton, Cena, Carlito, and a few others at one point were hopefully "The new Rock" in WWE's minds. As for what I was saying about him being Lazy, Pong, was not his slow demeanor in the ring. It just seemed like he didn't put any effort into any of his moves and did not do much to sell his opponents' offense. He was just collecting a check and not trying to advance his career. Right after Flair lit into him on Raw that one time, he came out and was motivated for the first time in several months.

Thanks for the correction, Mik. I new it was the shin part of the leg, but I did not say that at all. However, most of the gogos I have seen were not in the same position that Taker and his opponents were in.

We are trying to accomodate the consensus of the folder, Bob. If you want to ridicule our attempts, please do so in the Verizon Wireless Chocolate Socket.

Yes, you could. In the past, some posters have stated that revealing any matches not listed in the preview are "spoilers" for them. If we were to decide to keep any matches that were non-spoilers under that regard, we wouldn't need to post them in the first place because they would be mentioned in the preview anyway. ALl of these things need to be discussed and agreed upon.

Certainly an option. Edit---Just speaking personally, however, it will no doubt spawn discussion that will necessitate spoiler tags, and that usually leads to half the posts in the thread being tagged and the other half not discussing spoilers. I will do whatever the majority wants to do, but I would prefer the spoiler discussion be discussed in the actual thread we have for it. No sense in making two threads spoilerish.

Okay, we need to get a consensus here. It was brought up in the Smackdown thread that it would be good to have the matches listed (sans spoilers) for the show via the spoilers thread. I don't mind that at all, but I know that people have had a problem with that in the past due to surprises, booking decisions on the show, etc. Which do you prefer: listing the matches that might ruin a small surprise or not listing the matches? Let us know.

When Carlito was in the three way feud over the IC Title and he looked motivated, he was impressing me. After that, he got lazy and by the numbers. To me, he is the kind of guy that they shouldn't keep around. He has potential, but probably wouldn't be here if it wasn't for his father's name. His act is stale to me, and they should have just kept trying to make him the new Razor Ramon. At least that was better than what he is doing now, which is just being bland and having an accent. If anyone desperately needed moved to Smackdown/ECW, it's Carlito.

Use this thread to post your minor thought that pop in your head. If a topic gets enough discussion, it will be split out for its own thread.

Dunn has actually improved tremendously. There is a perceived lack of hustle at times, and he still hesitates while deciding where to throw the ball to, but he no longer runs routes like Magellan.

Tell that to Adam Dunn.

If Sid could recapture the awesomeness of Sid/Goldberg where he bled all over the place, I'd like to see Sid/Batista.

Do you want to start one based on Cheech's format, bps?

Good call

Okay, we have initiated a couple of things in the WWE folder to get more discussion going on days there are no shows. What would you guys like to see in this folder? We have the Town Hall threads over there (that will have guest hosts each week pretty soon), and Cheech is trying out a Profile thread on a new wrestler each week. Do you guys want those here? Do you want something else entirely? Give us some feedback, it's your folder.

I moved the discussion about the announcing team to its own thread. We will be doing this whenever a few topics start branching off from other topics and are getting a decent amount of attention. Hopefully, it will liven up the folder a bit and encourage people to discuss more things.

That one dude that posts here.
