NYU 0 Report post Posted April 18, 2005 Let Popick post the show this month, then he can hand over his PPV duties to NYU in June. I won't stonewall any decision to have NYU post the show this month, but I'd like to have Popick do it since I'm main eventing. Hmm. I don't really see why we have to wait. I'll take good care of you, Tony. You my boy. That Main Event slot is automatically yours. You just have to tell me anything special you want. And KC, writing the introduction to the show is perfectly fine with me. I mean, as far as I'm concerned, I'll post the show this month. If there are any true objections, let me know. But considering I have the backing of most here, I don't see why not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You just have to tell me anything special you want. Call it loyalty or whatever you'd like, it has more to do with Popick being my go-to guy for a long time, before Zack became the face of the OAOAST. But like I said, I won't stonewall any decision. I'm a team player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some Guy 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2005 He's forgotten to put matches in a PPV? How many times? If it was like once or twice that's hardly a huge deal, matches can be edited into the show. Whatever, I don't really care who posts the show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NYU 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2005 (edited) Here's how I look at it. I've never been a fan of Popick posting the Pay-Per-Views. It's nothing personal against him, but I simply get the feeling he doesn't put much effort into them. Some Guy, you've been gone for a while, so I'm figuring you haven't had a chance to read through some of the PPVs he posted. Some of the problems I've encountered: 1) There are practically no transitions between segments when Popick posts the shows. This gives the PPVs a rather unprofessional, jerky feel to them. Take the past two shows he posted for example: Zero Hour and Climax. There were no beginnings to them. At Zero Hour, he simply posted the graphic Papacita made, then flashed right to a Phenom segment. There was no introduction to the show. No buildup. No rundown of the card. Nothing. Climax was the same thing. We went from some Christmas poem at the beginning right to Cappa's segment. No buildup. No transition. This trend continues through most of the PPVs that Popick posts. In my opinion, it just makes the shows look poor. Why not take that extra effort to add the hype at the beginning of the show? The quick announcer interaction in between matches and promos? Hoff and Patty do it for HeldDowns. Tony does it for his PPVs. Popick never seems to do it. It's just simple cut-and-paste jobs without any rhyme, reason, or flow to them. What's the point? 2) Besides those problems that have encountered most PPVs Popick has posted, some of them have turned out to be a complete disaster. Look at License to Pin for an example of that. The EoD tournament was botched quite badly, to the point where it hasn't even be fixed today. Look at the show now to see the situation was never fixed. And of course, I had an issue with how my Hell-in-a-Cell match with Cappa was treated as well, with Popick suddenly turning Cappa heel without my knowledge the segment directly BEFORE my match. The entire show was a mess. Even something as recent as completely forgetting to leave a spot for the Dude/Calvin match at Zero Hour -- which was a match that received a lot of buildup throughout the month for anyone that reads through the shows. Chuck had to edit the show to include the match himself. People make mistakes, sure. I'm not perfect either. But this kind of stuff seems to happen on a consistent basis. 3) I get the feeling that Popick is not even in-tune with matters in the OAOAST anymore. He doesn't seem to know any of the storylines. He hardly ever leaves feedback. He doesn't seem to interact with anybody in the federation anymore. He's just here to glue together random matches for a PPV, then sink back into the background for two more months. I don't see why we don't try to get someone who's actually involved with the federation and knows what's going on to post the shows. Popick doesn't even give off the impression that he knows anymore. This then shows in his work. Hell, supposedly, he didn't even know he was holding the Italian Title for seven months -- despite the fact that he wrote the match where he won it! We need someone more involved. 4) The least he could have done was address the issues in the Italian/24-7 Title thread in an honest manner. Instead, he made a post where he outright lied, saying that he didn't know a thing about holding the Italian title, which has been disproven already. He hasn't posted there since to address the manner. We had a discussion there about him being replaced in posting the PPVs, and he simply ignored it, coming into this thread instead to tell everyone when to send in his segments. He has these matters being brought up to him, and he just shrugs him aside. That bothers me personally. For these reasons, I would like to take over the PPV posting duties from Popick for the time being. I don't really see why we have to wait anymore to do it. Whatever Tony would like for his match, I would be perfectly willing to do. But I mean, we've had Popick posting these shows for months already, and I think a change would be welcome. Waiting any longer just seems pointless to me at this point. However, we should make a decision pretty soon so everyone knows who to send their stuff to. I mean, I think most people don't have a problem sending their stuff to me. Tony seems to have an issue with it, and I certainly understand that, but I hope it's not too much of a problem. If it is Tony, feel free to PM me, man. Well, there we go. This is why I feel the matter should be addressed now, rather than waiting another few months to take action. I think the waiting should be finished at this point. Edited April 19, 2005 by NY Untouchable Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tony149 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2005 (edited) Tony seems to have an issue with it... I already said I won't "stonewall any decision." That means if you want to post the show, go ahead, I'd be fine with it. Like SG said, it doesn't matter who post the show. I think you'd do a great job. Off-topic note: The Raw main event is horrible. Whatever heeldom Lawler had left, which wasn't much anyway, is completely destroyed now.

King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2005 This is pretty simple guys. WHO IS POSTING THE SHOW. WHEN IS IT BEING POSTED. We don't need three threads on the hop talking about all this. For one thing, they all have different answers. So if we could get a DEFINATE answer and stick to it, that'd be just lovely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stephen Joseph 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2005 I'm sorry but I wasn't really around the OAOAST folder considering I hadn't gotten any PM's on the matter. I naturally assumed that I'd be posting the show Sunday afternoon and that I'd be getting PM's on the matter. What time I have at work normally is now involved dealing with agents so that I can become a homeowner. I'll say one thing about the match situation in recent ppv's. It helps when the matches are submitted on time. I *have* forgotten 2 matches that were submitted on time. All others were due to people not submitted them by the published due date. That all being said, I had budgeted time this Sunday to do such. I've got an intro written as well. However, since a vote was taken in absentia, I also do not know who is posting the show. I do know the show will be posted this Sunday (because thats what the poll said). So hopefully, answering 1 question helps. When a decision is made, it'd be nice if someone PM'ed me so I'd know. And, thanks Tony. Big Ups. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
