Guest Ripper Report post Posted August 1, 2003 Question: Would you consider the neck injuries Angle, Benoit, Edge, Austin, Rhyno, Lita, Scotty 2 Hotty, ect. have had serious? Just a question. yes...because they were potentially career/life-threatening It's just a muscle in his leg. Big whoop. Never did anything remotely athletic in your life, have you? I played football in high-school for 4-years. Started my senior year at left-guard, thank you. So I am guessing you had at least one of those deep muscle cramps next to the bone that hurt like SHIT. Now his entire muscle came unattached and shot up his fucking leg putting him in more pain than you probably have ever known. How is this funny. I broke my neck and you know what...its numb then its sore. That is what most feel. There is a lot less pain involved. Just that scary, I can't feel my arms or legs numb feeling. HOW is this any less funny than being in extreme pain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest CanadianChick Report post Posted August 1, 2003 I actually asked if you considered the neck injury a serious injury...not which is more serious. Not a big deal, but still. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Eagan469 Report post Posted August 1, 2003 I actually asked if you considered the neck injury a serious injury...not which is more serious. Not a big deal, but still. Yes, because if they make one wrong move while correcting the problem you're either paralyzed, or dead. Of course it depends on the situation, but I'd much rather have a torn quad than a broken neck.

Guest Loss4Words Report post Posted August 1, 2003 The only answer I'm going to give to that question is that in the same way I never wished ill will on Kevin Nash, I'm not wishing ill will on all the guys who have suffered neck injuries, simply because I have no reason to do so. And when something bad happens to them, I feel bad for them and wish them well because they've never given me as a fan any reason to actively have anything against them.

Crimson Platypus 0 Report post Posted August 1, 2003 However had WCW continued to turn $55 million profit annually like they did in 1998, all of those things wouldn't have mattered. The reason TBS/Time Warner had no interest in WCW was because of declining profit, and the reason the profit sank was because the product sucked, and the reason the product sucked was because of Nash and many others. It's a chain reaction. The key here is the "and many others" part of the post. Yet you still wish injury (or laugh at it, whatever) on ONE person that you deem to be the cause of WCW's downfall. Get over it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest webmasterofwrestlegame Report post Posted August 1, 2003 So, if a fan does hate them (for whatever reason), then under your logic it should be ok to make jokes etc.? I'm indifferent either way - I don't have anything against those who make jokes nor those who find it 'wrong'. Of course, that could be because I accept everyone has different opinions, experiences, beliefs etc. etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a chain reaction. That simply isn't true. They had no intrest in a wrestling company AT ALL. They did not want to take the responsiblity of the upkeep of what is basically a sports franchise. The same reason they have been trying to dump the Hawks for years. They don't want any sports teams, and a wrestling program is just that. Before Nash ever took a step towards being a booker the company was in nose dive. Those salaries were just too much. The fucking Nitro Girls were making around 300, 000 dollars. They paid over a million dollars to get Mike Awsome out of his contract with ECW before paying his salary. They gave Mikey Whipwreck 400,000 dollars and he wrestled twice. It was the single most ridiculous example of throwing away money that I have seen since MC HAmmer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest nl5xsk1 Report post Posted August 1, 2003 a) the world we live in is far too Politically Correct. I know people that laugh at retarded people (not to their face though)- I know it's not right but it's none of my business. If someone wants to laugh when a guy that they dislike - for any reason - faints, that's their perogative. Plus, think of how many reality shows revolve around people getting hurt. Hell, I've seen "the groom passes out at the wedding"on more America's Funniest Home Videos shows than I care to count. b) This is an anonymous internet forum. It's not comparable to laughing in the face of someone that fell in the street in front of you. Nash'll never know, and even if he did I doubt he'd care. c)I wonder if all the people that are preaching "karma" for being happy that Nash fainted realize that karma is a two way street, and if they really believed in the shit they wouldn't be so shouting their pleasure. Basically opening the door for the bad karma to bite their own ass, eh? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted August 1, 2003 Boo Fucking Hoo So people want to make fun of Nash's latest proof that he shouldn't be an active wrestler. Get over it. I'm sick of the mamby pamby my feelings are too hurt bullshit that pops up far too often around here. Someone has an opinion that we shoudl coddle Nash because he's a human being. Someone has an opinion that they just don't give a fuck. Neither is wrong their both opinions...and either can only BE wrong in the opinion of someone else. So let's drop it.

Guest RavishingRickRudo Report post Posted August 1, 2003 *points out that "karma" is the binding force which keeps us in the state of birth, death, and re-birth, and away from Nirvana.* I mean, if we're being PC and all earthy here, might as well get THAT right. Here's Nash. He's 6'9, 300 lbs... he's a big guy. He's big sexy, he's big nasty, he's big daddy cool. He has a thing for keeping his hair silky and flowing. And he faints. C'mon, that's funny. And I _like_ Nash, the personality. I think the guy is funny and his period as "coach" in WCW was one of the highlights of that time period. The eps. of Thunder where JJ had to face kweewee and was lighting candles and Nash said "I'll go Pray" had me on the floor... just like this does. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Anglesault Report post Posted August 1, 2003 And Nash tearing his quad was funny- I still watch the video from time to time. See...marvel in the stupidity. Please share with me how other people in terrible pain is such a funny ordeal. ESPECIALLY in a freak accident Hitting a baseball, causing it to bust open a streetlight, creating a ten car pile up where one of the cars clips a stroller is a freak accident. That's why you might see it on a cop show or something. Walking and tripping over nothing is FUNNY. That's why you see it all the time on sit coms and comedies Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You want to make it, sometimes you've got to be an asshole. This of course, causes more people to be assholes, who eventually act assholish to the first asshole, causing him to step up his asshole behavior. It's a vicious cyle, really. AS: Is an AShole.

Guest PowerPB13 Report post Posted August 1, 2003 Seriously... A lot of wrestling fans want to see THEIR FAVORITES, face or heel, do well...regardless of whether it's good for business or not. I personally could care less what the ratings and buyrates are, I just want to see the people I enjoy watching get pushed. If I were a promoter, I might have trouble pushing someone that I didn't particularly care to watch, even if I knew that pushing that person would make me money...I guess that's why I'm not a promoter. -Patrick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest BoboBrazil Report post Posted August 1, 2003 --Kevin Nash collapsed earlier today in Melbourne while signing autographs at the hotel, after checking out of his room and on the way to Sydney for today's show. WWE official reported his collapse as due to either exhaustion or perhaps a pinched nerve. He didn't wrestle on today's show and we don't know one way or the other if he'll be working tomorrow. According to eye witness Scott Stephens, "Nash was about to pose for a photo with my friend in the hotel lobby this morning. He started gripping onto my friend's arm and then slowly fell to the floor. He started shaking a litlte as Earl Hebner and other WWE officials came rushing over to him. They turned him on his side, but he came to fairly quickly. As he got up, he asked, `What happened?' He was then taken to the bus. Nash had looked fine prior to this happening, but it scared the hell out of us when it did.'" wrestlingobserver.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Loss4Words Report post Posted August 1, 2003 I hate Goldberg and thought he should have obliterated everyone from the moment he was signed, so yes, to answer your question. It doesn't matter what I think if it's making money, but it's neither pleasing me or the majority right now, hence the negativity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
