Guest RavishingRickRudo Report post Posted April 6, 2003 I already have a line of communication open with Brian Solomon (WWE.com columnist)- we've exchanged emails regarding certain subjects on a number of occasions. This isn't anything big, but it's something. We could easily send an email over to Dave Meltzer or post on the WrestlingClassics board (where Dave posts) and see if he has any suggestions or if he can help in any way, shape or form. There are plenty of messageboards on the net where support could be garnered - so that's definitely a way to spread the word. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest creativename Report post Posted April 6, 2003 Don't make me beg Creative Booyah~! Down with the establishment! Where's my guillotine!? Hey...this can be kind of fun. Maybe we should start the list of demands with a cool catchphrase? We are trying to convince wrestling fans, after all...it's all about the presentation Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RavishingRickRudo Report post Posted April 6, 2003 The WWE listens to the LAW every week (they say Howard Finkle monitors it along with some WWE workers), so that's certainly a place to spread the word. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
syxx2001 0 Report post Posted April 6, 2003 for every message board you post at, put it in your sig. "Don't like RAW? Don't watch on May 5th. Boycott RAW." or something how about we start this coming up Monday. that would own. a 3.4 to a 1.3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest RavishingRickRudo Report post Posted April 6, 2003 It's too early to do anything quite yet. We first must be ready here, on the smarksboard. Once we have everything in line here, once we are prepared, THEN we start. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest snuffbox Report post Posted April 6, 2003 Snuff, you in? I allready boycott the Raw product But to add one other thing...I am currently in college working on an English major as writing is my strong point. I would be inclined to write an in depth essay on this idea/issue...to post in forums or the main page if possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest razazteca Report post Posted April 6, 2003 Are you going to spread the word on chatrooms? By doing this you could get instant feedback from marks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest creativename Report post Posted April 6, 2003 Along with whatever demands we're making, we should post out arguments and counter-arguments as to why exactly people should do this. Probably with links to a thread detailing such on this board or something, because the actual post should be concise. I must say...I love you guys are acting as if you're starting a Revolution here... That is half the fun, you know...like I said, I have little confidence in this, but who knows? Good rhetoric that gets people excited can really help out "The Cause" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You don't have to stop watching, but another head is always needed. Chatrooms was something I never even considered, but it would be a great way to spread the word.

Guest snuffbox Report post Posted April 6, 2003 I must say...I love you guys are acting as if you're starting a Revolution here... we shouldnt be so naive...trying to voice our ideas to correct the ills of the entertainment that we love to watch. speaking up in some, any, manner is the ONLY way something will ever happen.

Guest RavishingRickRudo Report post Posted April 6, 2003 Can I make a request to anyone who is interested? Keep it in this board for now. We aren't ready to spread the word beyond the walls of the smarkmarks forum - the better we are prepared, the more convincing our stance will be to others.

syxx2001 0 Report post Posted April 6, 2003 oops. sorry then. i already posted it on the gamefaqs wrestling board and the LOP board. sorry, just trying to help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RavishingRickRudo Report post Posted April 6, 2003 Oh no problem, it will be interesting to get some 'preliminary data' I will say this: If this 'thing' can last a week, then it will last for a month. The first week is crucial - if we can all stay on board, and be serious about it (and that's not to say it won't be fun, because it should be, but we still must keep our eye on the ball) then there is great hopes for this 'revolution'.

Guest Downhome Report post Posted April 6, 2003 Man, post the links to where you posted this so far. I also say go ahead and post the concept everywhere, but that's just me. Just make sure to say that more details will come soon, and that for now we are just wanting to see who is interested. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest RavishingRickRudo Report post Posted April 6, 2003 Good point downhome, I just figure "let's keep it small" so it can be more controlled. When everything gets set here, THEN we go to other boards. BUT, with that said, getting more people interested will make this thing more powerful and that sort of confidence will give us more incentive to get this thing rolling.
