Guest Sakura Report post Posted April 8, 2003 Yeah, I'm also tired of people always talking about backstage politics also, when it's really none of our business. When it prevents me from enjoying my hobby, then yeah, it is my business. My email adress is [email protected] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Downhome Report post Posted April 8, 2003 Downhome, do you know how many "boycotts" are going on right now? Many people have done it and it doesn't do anything because there are still people like you who think they will be watching the WWE forever. I know I thought that when someone I knew started a boycott in later 2000 and I was like "pfft. I'd never do that". "I'm not watching and you shouldn't either" doesn't have the same impact as "Holy Crap, did that show fail on every level" and then explain why it failed and open some peoples eyes. It is best for you to go through with the boycott, and then start some sort of "movement" if you will. Then you can explain to everyone why you are not watching or anything, and they could follow suit. Just because you boycott the show yourself right now, doesn't mean you still can't explain to others and recruit them. Lead by example, it's the only way.

Guest Sakura Report post Posted April 8, 2003 So, yeah, I think DH has made his point. More than once. On every single page. So why is this RRR vs. DH stuff STILL going on? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RavishingRickRudo Report post Posted April 8, 2003 This is as much of a war of protest as it is of information. Sakura, you're absolutely right - Let's get focused. I'll be sending emails to both you and C-bacon soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Downhome Report post Posted April 8, 2003 So, yeah, I think DH has made his point. More than once. On every single page. So why is this RRR vs. DH stuff STILL going on? Even though I am not going to take part, I am honestly trying to help him. I've given out various ideas and everything to try to help. If someone wants to do something in order to help WWE, then I'm all for it. I, well, am simply not strong enough to just "turn it off". Would you not agree that a full boycott would be best? Would you not agree that in some cases in order to get people to join, you must lead by example? If you try to get someone to boycott and the such, and they ask you if you are doing so, and you say no, does not that hurt your case? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Sakura Report post Posted April 8, 2003 But you've said all of that a million times now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Downhome Report post Posted April 8, 2003 Like I said, I'm just trying to help. I feel I happen to know how these things work, and how to be succesfull at doing so. If you wish me to leave this thread, and do not want to hear from me or any of my ideas anymore, then just let me know. I sincerely do wish to help, but if it's not wanted, then whatever.

Guest El Satanico Report post Posted April 8, 2003 I already stopped watching Raw after WM last week so I guess I'm already on board with the plan. Viva La Revolution! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RavishingRickRudo Report post Posted April 8, 2003 El San, it goes beyond not watching - it is a consisted effort to make our voices heard. If you want to make a difference you can email me @ [email protected], and if you don't then you will die... ok, not so much die as live, but you get the point...you will get the point...muhahaha...oh it's late...I'm tired... *sigh* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LaParkaYourCar 0 Report post Posted April 8, 2003 What do you need us to do exactly? I haven't had the time to read through 18 pages. As much as there is to complain about I must say 2003 is already looking better than 2002 did. So far no offensive storylines and all the ppv's have been good so far this year. Doesn't mean things are improving enough to fix the problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Sakura Report post Posted April 8, 2003 We need to make sure they know this is a group thing. But I also think writing our own personal feelings is a lot more effective than everyone just copying and pasting some message. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RavishingRickRudo Report post Posted April 8, 2003 The possible things off the top of my head: -Letters and Emails to the WWE. -Letters and Emails to WWE talent. -Letters and Emails to Independant Wrestlers -Letters and Emails to Newsletters, Websites, and "experts" (Dave Meltzer). -Posting on Various messageboards 'spreading the word'. -Letters and Emails to TV stations against the WWE (TNN, TSN, etc). -Letters and Emails to TV stations for Alternatives to WWE (ROH, TNA, UFC, etc). -Letters and Emails to Advertisers of WWE television. -Letters and Emails to the PTC (yes, they stopped criticizing the WWE, but I bet there is a possiblity that we could get some info to help get our voice heard) -Letters and Emails to Newspapers.

Guest RavishingRickRudo Report post Posted April 8, 2003 Oh definitely Sakura, this should be very personal - the truer the feelings are the better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Sakura Report post Posted April 8, 2003 So we should do something to make sure they know its a group. Like create a paragraph or whatever explaining what the idea/goal is. We could paste it at the bottom or top or whatever of everything we write. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest C-Bacon Report post Posted April 8, 2003 I'll see if i can get a hold of the guys at the LAW sunday night, to get their take on it and any assistance that may be provided. Although, like someone mentioned earlier, the Viewers Choice sponsership of the show may be a conflict of interest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RavishingRickRudo Report post Posted April 8, 2003 [email protected] [email protected] I believe are Mareks emails (I shot him one too). Go for it, I figure the LAW is integral to this process because it allows us to get our message out over the airwaves (both radio and internet) and to the WWE (supposedly). The more people calling, the better it sounds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RavishingRickRudo Report post Posted April 8, 2003 It would be best to send out individual emails first, and THEN make us as a group noticed. Then they (whomever the email is intended for) may notice a certain evolution and say "something may be growing here". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest C-Bacon Report post Posted April 8, 2003 Agreed. If the emails are in moderation then it won't seem like a mass flooding of a particular group of people. If they notice the trend, then it's gauranteed they'll mention it on the show. I'll have something sent off by the weekend to Jeff, Dan and possibly Angew.

Rendclaw 0 Report post Posted April 8, 2003 there is anoher live wrestling show that I can throw in there, between the ropes... I;ve been a loyal listener since 2001 and I think that they might be open to this idea as they are just as fed up with the issues that have been debated and discussed as everyone here is. Here are the hosts' email addies: [email protected] [email protected] I would join in, but seeing as I work from 8pm to 4am during the week, I don;t watch the shows anyway, and I keep up with what is going on through this site..... But I am with you in spirit, Rudo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest RavishingRickRudo Report post Posted April 8, 2003 I'm not too-too familiar with Internet Wrestling Shows. I believe there's one called Chairshots. I know the Mayhem has one. I think Wrestlezone has one too. No Holds Barred and Between the Ropes are two more (thanks bob). Wrestling Observer Live and LAW. That's 7! Wow. Awesome.

Guest HardcoreMF'nHolly Report post Posted April 8, 2003 There is a campaign here in England for all those that attend Insurrextion in Newcastle to stand up and turn their backs to the ring when HHH comes to the ring. It a bit extreme but is something similiar to what Brian is suggesting. Ultimately, I think what is trying to be achieved here is to let WWE know that internet fans make up more of their current fanbase than they believe. If this is the case, it should, in theory, work in arenas as well? If you really want WWE to know how much we hate Triple H, we should all walk out up the stairs during a live event. While he is cutting one of his long, boring ass promos, just get up and leave! When he wrestles, get up and leave, especially for a non-title match or when you're absolutely sure he isn't dropping the belt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
