True enough, the one and only thread is sort of a good idea. It prevents all these other threads from popping up that just repeat themselves.

 

But it only serves people who watch Smackdown while sitting at the computer and typing what they may as they watch. Personally I think this is pretty foolish, and a lot of these people are the same ones who blast the show. You can't judge the flow of a show while you sit at the computer and type while glimpsing flashes of a match, but that's besides the point.

 

RAW this past week had about 43 pages in its thread when I checked a little after RAW went off the air.

 

How about if I want to check what the reaction of a match at the end of the first hour? I have to sort through about twenty pages. This is time consuming and annoying.

 

Heres a better idea for the system:

Why don't we have a one and only thread for each match, the big interview (there is always one), one for assorted backstage segments and skits, and one for thoughts on the whole show.

 

This way if I wanted to gauge reaction on, say, Regal vs. Goldust I wouldn't have to wade through piles of useless crap to get to it.

 

And for those who think that it will clutter the board, it won't at all. The unimportant segments-like Regal vs. Goldust will make its run down the board and to the next page not long after RAW. The important ones like the discussion of the main event and of the show as a whole will stay up at the top of the board.

 

So please, throw us people, who watch the show entirely then come to compare opinions, a bone.

 

Anybody else feel this way?

[Guest Drakoan]

Ummm.......no.

 

I hope you were being sarcastic cause that would be excessive.

[Guest snowfan]

Ummm.......no.

 

I hope you were being sarcastic cause that would be excessive.

absolutely not one is capable of doing both....

 

 

It is hardly as though they will fix a trainwreck Raw in under two hours...

[Guest Boseephus Jones]

Ok, for example, tonight would have had six or seven different threads. Maybe you could include the main interview/opening with the segments/skits thread, it's not that important.

 

So, I don't see the problem with a half dozen threads kickin' around instead of, say, 20 different pages.

[Guest Spaceman Spiff]

I'm not feeling it

[Guest Kahran Ramsus]

Sorry. I don't agree with this at all. Prior to the One and Only threads we used to do it like you suggest and the first page was all about RAW. We created the One and Only threads to get away from that.

 

My vote is definitely no.

[Guest Midnight Express83]

My vote: OH HELL NO!!!!

[Guest Dr. Wrestlingphysics]

I agree with the no's.

The front page of WWF/E used to get filled with many different threads on the same show, often saying the same thing. What would happen is that something happened, then 4 or 5 people would all start threads about it at the same time cluttering up the board, and the same thing would happen again if it was brought back.

Do you want us to get flooded with dozens of Raw/Smackdown/PPV threads just because you can't be bothered to find the page you want?

[Guest Boseephus Jones]

Oooooh My.

 

You're kinda missin' my drift.

 

We would have pinned threads (a half dozen like I said) that would be one and onlys. No one else would be able to create threads. But, instead of being about the entire show, they would be about the diff matches and segments.

 

There won't be dozens, there will be six. Do you see?

[Guest El Psycho Diablo]

No, no, no, no, no.

 

We've had that problem before.

 

Every RAW/SD related thread covered the entire board. Leave it like it is. If it's too much,turn sigs off and see if that helps.

[Guest bob_barron]

You called Regal v. Goldust "unimportant" so I vote no

[Guest Texas Small Arms 09]

I vote HELL NO and have a question. Wasn't the entire point of the One and Only threads so that that wouldn't happen? Why have that much clutter on the board when you can just go to THE ONE AND ONLY THREAD and click through it, half the time all the filler gets very little attention anyway.

[Guest Kingpk]

Why devote a whole thread to a 3 minute match?

 

Nay, sez the King.

[Guest Drakoan]

Oooooh My.

 

You're kinda missin' my drift.

 

We would have pinned threads (a half dozen like I said) that would be one and onlys. No one else would be able to create threads. But, instead of being about the entire show, they would be about the diff matches and segments.

 

There won't be dozens, there will be six. Do you see?

But we don't need 6 pinned threads! You just need to suck it up and drudge through the threads or just be suprised when you finally watch the show.

[Guest AlwaysPissedOff]

I say no, as well. That's just too much hassle for so little payoff(if any at all).

[Guest El Satanico]

Well if there's a match that you want to discuss or get opinions on you could always start a new thread. However you may get bitched at for making new threads about stuff that's in the one and only.

[Guest cobainwasmurdered]

One And Only threads Own U

[Guest Boseephus Jones]

That's what I'm getting at El Satanico. I know what some people are getting at. Goldust vs. Regal, for example isn't worth reading, so I probably wouldn't read it myself.

 

But, say there is a killer match at the end of the first hour. It's a bitch to be lookin' all about for feedback on the match. Or say I just want to say how good RAW was. You get these people who have posts that say: "Wow, look at Trish's boots tonight. They look stupid!"

 

It wouldn't be so bad if they one and only threads were a discussion of the show. But it's like a transcript of a bunch of a guys in a living room watching the show. I don't want to read through these bunch of comments. I want to read some analysis and opinion.

 

For example, heres an actual quote from the Smackdown thread last night (sorry for singling out people, but I'm just usin' it to illustrate my point):

 

"Oh my fucking god...

 

Dawn Marie...."

 

Note: This is an ENTIRE post.

 

I don't mean that I want these kind of people not to post this stuff; I acknowledge that they have a right to post just as much as I do. But I don't want a running commentary of what's going on, I know it already. I just don't want to have to sort through this stuff (which is 90 percent of what's there) to get through the meat and potatoes of it all.

 

Maybe if we had a seperate folder of thoughts on the show after the fact and intelligent discussion of how the show was.

[Guest cobainwasmurdered]

Dude if there's a KILLER match some moron will ignore the rules and start a thread about it anyway.

[Guest Marshall]

KILLER match? Is that like a new gimmick match?

 

Bah, its probably just the same as hardcore/NHB/street fight...etc.

 

*bored*

[Guest bps "The Truth" 21]

I vote No.

[Guest Midnight Express83]

All the real good and All the real bad will be made into threads anyways. All the crap will be ignored. So why not just freaking stick around in the OaO(insert event name here)T. Or just start a topic on said match you want to know about. pinning 6 topics takes up a big chuck of the first page. If someone doesn't want to have any part of it, why should they have all their threads pushed to page 2 because three people want to talk about an Eddy vs Rikishi match?

[Guest imajackoff?]

Perhaps an O&O Post Raw thread would be a good idea. It is a pain to sift through all the crap just to get reactions to what happened on the show.
