Note to bookers/markers...

[Guest Angel_Grace_Blue]

As many of you know, Silent and I have been designated, by ourselves, as the de facto no-show match writers. Therefore, to make things run as smoothly as possible, we ask that we are informed as soon as possible of no-shows so we can get to writing. And stuff...

 

On the subject of no-shows, I was thinking of suggesting that one match per 3-show cycle be with inactive folk, thus making sure a no-show for Silent and I occurs, but if such a thing were to happen, "traditional" no-shows would be quite as nifty, would they? No, they wouldn't. And then Silent would have to get drunk and puke on everyone's new shoes. That cost at least $90. And I don't think I have to mention how acidic his vomit is. I mean, we all now how badly that one guy's face was disolved...or something.

 

Since I'm rambling, I'll stop. Right no

What?

[Guest Suicide King]

Good thing you have your looks to fall back on, GODrea.

[Guest HVilleThugg]

Yeah...really.

Da "what the hell was that about?" H

Tom calls the kettle black.

 

Um, yeah, I think the humiliatory no-show matches are on their way out. If there's one point that's been raised recently that I agree with, it's that the no-showing crap has to stop - and, to a great degree, it has. I know I've written humiliation stand-in matches before (Sorry, Morin and Fury), and that I'm largely responsible for Mr. G's much stickier counterpart, but really, the novelty's worn off. The punishment matches the no-showers get put in are getting closer to silly than humiliatory ("Pretend to be from King of Fighters," "Wrestle in the ball room" and "Wear a damn Kangaroo suit" come to mind, as opposed to "Light yourself on fire and drink Jay Dawg's semen"), and I much prefer that.

 

And Silent better not puke on MY shoes. I just bought them, god damn it.

[Guest Goodear]

Personally, I always thought it was funny that Silent and Thoth would write punishments for guys no showing... but that is me.

[Guest Dace59]

"Wear a damn Kangaroo suit"

I had that one (sorry Myers for getting you into that)

But it was one the funiest things I'd ever written.

 

But yer, if you're up for it, it's all good, other wise, it really sucks.

[Guest WrestlingDeacon]

I agree with Tom, we don't need to humilate no-showers. All that does is discourage them from writing. This is supposed to be a fun past time, not a prison camp. I do like the idea of humorous 'punishment matches' as it's a great break from the more serious direction the fed is usually in and I think that might help to get people geared up after they've had to no show a couple matches due to various reasons. As a JL marker, I've written a couple no-show segments, but I never will again outside of the Memphis Eel saying "yeah, these guys didn't show up. Go Crimson Tide!"

[Guest Ace309]

Yeah, I like the King of Fighters match that's booked for the next JL show... since, if nothing else, it pretty much forces people to bother Thoth.

[Guest Tod deKindes]

I move for the return of the blinky.

[Guest Thoth]

I think I smell a quad no-show for my match. Sad panda.

[Guest Angel_Grace_Blue]

Going on King's comment, then I'm royally screwed (No pun intended

 

As for the nature/intent of this post, don't ask me. I just wanted to kinda inform the bookers of Silent and my status as no-show writers, but, as I often do, I rambled on and on. There really was no purpose after the second paragraph. And stuff...so, I stop right now before I keep going on and on a
