Guest Incandenza Posted September 15, 2002 Report Posted September 15, 2002 Given the esoteric nature of the stuff I write for TSM, I don't expect much feedback. The one piece I received that wasn't from someone that didn't write for the site as well was from some mysterious Nas fan who took exception to my liking Andrew W.K.
Guest Kingpk Posted September 15, 2002 Report Posted September 15, 2002 I think Stuart Scott gets 5,000 per BOO-YAH!
Guest bob_barron Posted September 15, 2002 Report Posted September 15, 2002 I'm majoring in journalism at university so I consider writing reviews to be practise and studying. SuperTony- write it again- after my concussion last night- i need my ego to be stroked.
Guest Retro Rob Posted September 15, 2002 Report Posted September 15, 2002 Dude, don't even get me started on 411... *pushes the button on the back of Rob's neck to get him started* Well, if you insist... Back when 411 was looking for tape reviewers, I applied. Mainly because I hadn't written for a website in about 1 year, yet my work was improving, as I would post my reviews here. MANY PEOPLE enjoyed my Best of Summer 93 comp review. By many, I mean at least a dozen. There was NO negative feedback. So I figured that would be a good review to submit to 411. They never responded to me. Instead that hired that dumb bimbo Claire Flynn Boyle, some idiot with a shark gimmick, who rates matches with little fish (like these <>-<), and some guy who will only rate matches that are below *1/2 or higher than **1/2. What the fuck is that? The shark dude disappeared because people hated him more than CFB, who has yet to review an actual WRESTLING tape. This women reviews fucking basement women's wrestling and goes off on tangents about her pizza delivery guy. FUCK YOU WIDRO & ASHISH!!!!!!! Even if they offered me money to write for them, I would tell them to take their fucking offer and shove it up their collective asses.
Guest SuperTonyJaymz Posted September 15, 2002 Report Posted September 15, 2002 holy shit! You think "Oh Dib!" would catch on? or how bout "Gerronofuckingmo"?
Guest Flyboy Posted September 15, 2002 Report Posted September 15, 2002 Just need more readers etc. I get feedback here and there. Yeah... I don't get feedback e-mail wise, but I do comments time to time... like on my latest Avril CD review...

Even if they offered me money to write for them, I would tell them to take their fucking offer and shove it up their collective asses. They hired me though so they cant be all bad. But yea- the rest suck ass.
Guest SuperTonyJaymz Posted September 15, 2002 Report Posted September 15, 2002 dude...i hated the fish guy too...and I don't think I've even read that claire person reviews yet... so I;m with ya there...I only like Bob Barron when it comes to the video review on 411. Ken Anderson was pretty good but now he has gone to the awesome Year in review All the other video reviewers blow to me, I usuall come here, or now goto smarktalk.com course, im a 411music guy, i dont have o like the wrestling guys so fuck them!
Guest bob_barron Posted September 15, 2002 Report Posted September 15, 2002 my theory is that Widro read my review of RR01 and was like: Whoa greatness. He was so like taken aback by my awesomeness that he just gave the other three jobs w/o reading, still under shock of my greatness. Or something like that
Guest SuperTonyJaymz Posted September 15, 2002 Report Posted September 15, 2002 maybe but....a gimmick writer...who is a fish? GAWD! Atleast be profesisonal and be a redneck...thats a gimmick a writer should have
Guest bob_barron Posted September 15, 2002 Report Posted September 15, 2002 Ken Anderson is okay but is way too preachy and has a hatred for Vince that sometime gets in the way of his good reviews. It's like he takes things too seriously. But for the most part is YIR's kick ass.
Guest SuperTonyJaymz Posted September 15, 2002 Report Posted September 15, 2002 Eh i agree with him on the 9/11 issue he has with Vinny Mac, but mainly I like his years in reviews cause its really detailed, its not a summary, its an actually year in review
Guest Kingpk Posted September 15, 2002 Report Posted September 15, 2002 I actually like Eric S.' rantings, plus, he's coined a great nickname for Steph (The Bitch of the Baskervilles). Other than him, and Bob's stuff of course, I don't really read 411 all that much.
Guest SuperTonyJaymz Posted September 15, 2002 Report Posted September 15, 2002 BTW I have to ask: Has anyone read my Linkin Park:Reanimation review? I think because it wasn't on the main page like the others, not many people have read it....just courious cause thats my first review were I get Intense~ and Vicious~
Guest bob_barron Posted September 15, 2002 Report Posted September 15, 2002 The WWE ended up donating $1 million to the Twin Towers fund so whatever Vince's motives were- all is forgiven.
Guest MrRant Posted September 15, 2002 Report Posted September 15, 2002 dude...i hated the fish guy too...and I don't think I've even read that claire person reviews yet... so I;m with ya there...I only like Bob Barron when it comes to the video review on 411. Ken Anderson was pretty good but now he has gone to the awesome Year in review All the other video reviewers blow to me, I usuall come here, or now goto smarktalk.com course, im a 411music guy, i dont have o like the wrestling guys so fuck them! Yes..... come to SmarkTalk.com and feel the greatness. Its a shame they don't allow cross-posting at 411 as it helps the writers.. unless you are SK though.
Guest SuperTonyJaymz Posted September 15, 2002 Report Posted September 15, 2002 Yeah, but really im only a 411 music guy, until I talk Widro into opening up a DVD subsite, so how bout I write Smarktalk.com a couple dvd reviews? I might even try reviewing a wrestling tape...but thats a big maybe
Guest bob_barron Posted September 15, 2002 Report Posted September 15, 2002 That'd be wicked awesome if we could cross post.
Guest Flyboy Posted September 15, 2002 Report Posted September 15, 2002 Yes..... come to SmarkTalk.com and feel the greatness. Its a shame they don't allow cross-posting at 411 as it helps the writers.. unless you are SK though. C'mon might Avril CD review... make it into the Top 10!
Guest bob_barron Posted September 15, 2002 Report Posted September 15, 2002 411 is gonna do a movies thing soon- My U2:Elevation review is like waiting to be posted and then I'm gonna review the Pulp DVD for 411
Guest SuperTonyJaymz Posted September 15, 2002 Report Posted September 15, 2002 Oh but i gotta give it up to the Jake godcantremberhislastname puro reviewer for 411. He isnt the best but I like percent ratings...to me its easier to understand than star ratings, and he clearly explains why he gave it that rating. Me being uneducated in puro, it really helps but yeah, all the north american wrestling writers, aside from Bobby boy, suck
Guest MrRant Posted September 15, 2002 Report Posted September 15, 2002 If you want to do a DVD review that is fine by me. I will hook you up if you PM what name you want to use and a password.
Guest bob_barron Posted September 15, 2002 Report Posted September 15, 2002 Yes..... come to SmarkTalk.com and feel the greatness. Its a shame they don't allow cross-posting at 411 as it helps the writers.. unless you are SK though. C'mon might Avril CD review... make it into the Top 10! I liked Tony's review better because he gave me like two shoutouts- and i mark for shoutouts
Guest SuperTonyJaymz Posted September 15, 2002 Report Posted September 15, 2002 Flyboy....theres a bonus Avril track! Holy shiznit! :runs kazza: For enlightening me on that, you are now the greatest writer to ever grace that site
Guest Flyboy Posted September 15, 2002 Report Posted September 15, 2002 Yes..... come to SmarkTalk.com and feel the greatness.

I liked Tony's review better because he gave me like two shoutouts- and i mark for shoutouts Well... I had to give props to my man bps in my review... it's politics.
Guest Flyboy Posted September 15, 2002 Report Posted September 15, 2002 Flyboy....theres a bonus Avril track! Holy shiznit! :runs kazza: For enlightening me on that, you are now the greatest writer to ever grace that site *bows* Too bad it wasn't on the US release... it's some of her better work. Hell, I wasn't even going to include the track in my review, but tossed it in at the last second.
Guest SuperTonyJaymz Posted September 15, 2002 Report Posted September 15, 2002 eh..writing and wrestling have alot in common...both start with W....both have shameless self promoters...and both are entangled in webs of politics
Guest MrRant Posted September 15, 2002 Report Posted September 15, 2002 Politics? On wrestling sites?!?!
Guest bob_barron Posted September 15, 2002 Report Posted September 15, 2002 Yea- Widro is holding me down! GLASS CEILING
Guest Retro Rob Posted September 15, 2002 Report Posted September 15, 2002 Oh but i gotta give it up to the Jake godcantremberhislastname puro reviewer for 411. He isnt the best but I like percent ratings...to me its easier to understand than star ratings, and he clearly explains why he gave it that rating. Me being uneducated in puro, it really helps He's another one. He wants writers for his site, but demands that all of us use the percent system, which I think is a huge pain in the ass for the reviewer. I have enough trouble deciding between the numerous different star ratings. 100 different possible ratings for one match is a bit much for me. but yeah, all the north american wrestling writers, aside from Bobby boy, suck AHEM, what was that?
