Guest muswp1 Report post Posted March 27, 2002 Wow, we get to see Scott Keith the comedian. I personally was neutral about RAW, but I liked the HHH/Jericho/Stephanie match. I really didn't like the rant; come on Scott, don't stoop to the level of some of your fans. If I want comedy, I'll listen to Goerge Carlin. If I want wrestling, I'll read you. Comedy and wrestling don't mix, see Vince Russo for proof. He made a career of making main-event matches at PPV's into jokes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest The Man in Blak Report post Posted March 27, 2002 For the first time in two months, Scott Keith writes a Raw rant that's not overtly seething with negativity. In response, roughly half of his legions of smark fans (all wearing evil goatees) promptly say it sucked and that they want their REAL Raw rant immediately. Yet Another Mirror Universe...or a hypocritical group of smarks that need a sense of humor? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest teke184 Report post Posted March 27, 2002 I didn't see RAW completely out of order and I'm in Alberta...lol. RAW was shown out of order in Ontario, according to several sites. I didn't remember that SK lived in Alberta, so I thought it might have been a reason why we got this rather different rant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kingpk Report post Posted March 27, 2002 Scott forgot something: Bruno Sammartino, due to a clause in his contract, is a "free agent" and can sign with either. There are also plans for Sammartino to compete in TLC IV at Summerslam with Buddy Rogers and George Hackenshmidt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Judas14 Report post Posted March 27, 2002 I didn't remember that SK lived in Alberta, so I thought it might have been a reason why we got this rather different rant. Nearly every time they screw up Raw's broadcast in Canada, Scott makes a note of it or just recaps anyway with us pointing out to him the stuff he missed in his Rant....

Yeah, TSN cuts alot for the late show(10: 00) it gets pretty annoying. Plus, our shows don't get THAT screwed up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest cobainwasmurdered Report post Posted March 27, 2002 i hate tsn: they fucking cut away from violent chair shots, women getting put through tables, and when they re air the show it's garunteed they cut out the rvd match but leave in the billy and chuck skit. i liked scott's rant: it was different. and it got everyone talking, that's the goal of every writer. of course i'd like to see him do a serious rant but this rant was funny.

Guest Smues Report post Posted March 27, 2002 Well a normal version of the rant popped up on the mailing list, so I'm guessing it'll be on the websites soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Masked Yodeler Report post Posted March 27, 2002 Chuck could show up on the other show wearing a false moustache and pretending to be a pizza delivery guy or something, and everyone could act all ignorant out of sympathy.

Guest J*ingus Report post Posted March 27, 2002 It took me a minute to realize what the hell Scott was doing, but once I got it I loved it, I thought it was hysterical. Damn shame about missing the main event, wonder how he would've done that? (My guess: politics-playing World Champion Chris Jericho completely no-sells and destroys the challenger, backstage pawn HHH, and then pins the third participant Chris Benoit, ending his WWF career.) Double points to Keith if he does a regular rant too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest dreamer420 Report post Posted March 27, 2002 I can't believe people liked that piece of crap. That was easily the worse Rant/Recap I have read anywhere, any site on the net. Sorry but leave the "comedy" to those who are suited for it. And that is anyone but Scott Keith. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MARTYEWR Report post Posted March 27, 2002 The only thing missing from Scott's "tnaR" was the triple threat main event between Joey, Ross, and Rachel where if either Joey or Rachel get pinned, Rachel leaves the show. Unlike Stephanie leaving, I'm sure Scott would be quite disappointed if that happened. Actually, thanks Scott for the real rant and stating exactly what I was thinking about how the WWF has made Ric Flair look like a complete dumbass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted March 27, 2002 This is ludicrous! I am darn sick and tired of coming to this site only to read about Scott Keith's comic book references! It makes me sick to my stomach! I pay good money and this little son of a jackal can only write about mirror universes, comic books, fashion, spaghetti recipes, and science & religion! What a maroon! I visit this place for wrestling not to read about immovable objects and unstoppable forces. Comedy isn't your strong suit, Mr. Scott Keith. So go back to whatever computer day job you have that doesn't involve The Smarks. I'm sick of your ineptitude. Just sign the site over to someone who has a clue that wrestling columns should be about wrestling and wrestling websites should be run in a professional and timely manner. Scott Keith is nothing but a joke. A former shell of himself. Obviously a man with no real interest in the wrestling world anymore because he's been reduced to turning his columns into long running jokes which only serve to entertain himself and he is wasting his own valuable readers' time by playing jokes on them that also only entertain himself, thus turning off people who regularly enjoy his work. This man has sunk into insanity and with ever post further alienates his readers. With a site that keeps crashing, updates that are few and far between and the supposed "big man" of the site acting like a fool, The Smarks will not last long. Nobody who works here (except for Justin Baisden) has the common sense about what to do with this website anymore and how to act to keep it successful. I haven't seen writing and disorganization this bad since I saw the WWF on television. What a debacle this site has become. I will never come back to this site again! The ignorance and incompetence is simply too much to handle! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest J*ingus Report post Posted March 27, 2002 "I pay good money" Is this like one of those situations where you give your car keys to the valet, only to later find out that the establishment doesn't have valet parking?

Guest Report post Posted March 27, 2002 I'm an honorable man! I stand corrected! I just visited 411wrestling.com and noticed there is the REAL version of the RAW rant posted. So I commend Mr. Scott Keith on making the right decision. But nonetheless, the tomfoolery going on at this site has reached epic proportions! That is why I QUIT! I will no longer visit The Smarks anymore! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

None of us pay Scott anything for the site. Scott does this site for free (as he's stated many times in the past).... 2.) Scott hasn't mentioned comics in ages because talking about the 1970s Superfriends cartoon doesn't technically count as comic talk, unless you talk about the Darksied/Legion of Doom Superfriends cartoons... 3.) Scott has only talked about religion once and that was in the Smarklog section of the site... 4.) You are confusing Scott with Jay Bower as being the writer who is writes about fashion... <I'm sick of your ineptitude.

In response, roughly half of his legions of smark fans (all wearing evil goatees) promptly say it sucked and that they want their REAL Raw rant immediately. Yet Another Mirror Universe...or a hypocritical group of smarks that need a sense of humor? I wouldn't really consider that a Raw rant, it was more of a made up story. What does it matter if Scott liked his own made up story? The fact that he felt compelled to write that demonstrates his negative feelings towards the real show. In the end he hated the real show, thats all that counts. I agree with him that the picks were pretty bad, but the WWF didn't have enough big names to fill a 20 man draft, so what can you expect them to do? By the way, I have a sense of humor, but I don't laugh at stupidity? At first, I didn't know what I was reading and once I figured it out, I just stopped reading and moved on with my life.

Guest RetroRob215 Report post Posted March 27, 2002 BTW, JustKing, "YOU ARE...AN ASSHOLE!!" Seriously though, get a life and stop acting like your world has come tumbling down because you don't like someone. If you have a problem with everything SK does (I only have a problem with some of it), I suggest you try reading some other internet columnists like Bob Ryder or Dave Sherere and report back to us on how you critique their work too.

Guest The Man in Blak Report post Posted March 27, 2002 "Wow, there’s sure not much middle ground with you guys, is there? Okay, for those people whose lives revolve around knowing what rating I give to a bunch of 2-minute matches, here’s the actual RAW rant which was in the can hours ago but delayed so that I could flex my creative muscles a bit." - From the "Actual" Raw Rant I think the first part sums it up rather nicely.

Guest Report post Posted March 28, 2002 Guys come on...I think its obvious justking was joking. Lighten up! "I pay good money" Is this like one of those situations where you give your car keys to the valet, only to later find out that the establishment doesn't have valet parking? Jungus dude...that flew right over my head. When people say Raw was out of order...how do you mean? Were the segments aired out of order or was there jumps and cut that happened in the middle of matches and other segments? 2.) Scott hasn't mentioned comics in ages because talking about the 1970s Superfriends cartoon doesn't technically count as comic talk, unless you talk about the Darksied/Legion of Doom Superfriends cartoons... There were two versions of the Superfriends cartoon? Anyway, I'd rather there be a real rant as well. The jokes about University freshmen year psychology and philosophy don't stay entertaining for long, and his "Mirror Universe" gag has been getting played out like "What?" over the past couple of weeks. I actually never heard of any other mirror universe gimmicks before. i hate tsn: they fucking cut away from violent chair shots, women getting put through tables, and when they re air the show it's garunteed they cut out the rvd match but leave in the billy and chuck skit. Why do they cut out RVD matches? The hell is up with that? Stone/Robinette were the original lawyers on the series when it started while Kincaid and McCoy are the lawyers that replaced Stone/Robinette when the actors were either fired (Robinette) or gone insane with his hatred of Janet Reno (Stone). Why was Robinette fired? And what did Ben Stone's hatred of Reno have to do with anything? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
