Mole 0 Report post Posted April 18, 2005 I know SD wasn't posting WON anymore because he doesn't get it. Someone said that when HTQ comes back(I think it was HTQ), he would start posting them again. So is someone going to post it again? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tawren 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2005 I did it one week a few months back. Seriously, fuck that shit. Took FOREVER to type out. Not worth the time. For the record, I would have thanked S_D every week had I known he was the one writing it out each week. I thought he was just cut and pasting it when it was posted elsewhere.

Carnival 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2005 How much is a subscription? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Styles 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2005 Here's the subscription info: http://www.liveaudiowrestling.com/wo/store/newsletter.asp I'm a subscriber and would reccomend to any wrestling fan to be a subscriber too. Dave puts way too much time into each issue just to have it plagearized. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ted the Poster 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2005 Plagarizing would be calling it your own. Reprinting a subscription service to be viewed for free by others is more of a type of theft. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted April 20, 2005 If you get a subscription, you wouldn't want to buy a cheap scanner with OCR software and you wouldn't want to scan it so you couldn't turn the scan into a text file that you couldn't copy/paste on to the board...

iggymcfly 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2005 I don't think anybody realized you actually typed it. I always assumed that you just copy/pasted it somehow. It's not like it's all that interesting anyway though, so if you don't want to post it, it's fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Styles 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2005 Are these newsletters even interesting anymore? I used to love hearing about who might jump ship during the Monday Night Wars (or even ECW when it existed). Those were the days. Yes. They're very informative, particularly when Meltzer delves into wrestling history. I'd agree. It's essential if you want to follow MMA and International wrestling as well, as it's covered in depth. Meltzer does do history pieces every few issues and if you are a wrestling fan they are absolutely fascinating. And I'm not talking ancient history, I'm talking WWF in the 80s/90s, stuff you'd want to know about and you will learn stuff you didn't just know from reading online. Furthermore, in terms of backstage news on WWE and TNA the Observer is still the most in depth place to get the most complete coverage, the whole story if you will. I'd highly reccomend a subscription. If it's too much for you to afford, well that's one thing, but if you can plunk down a subscription it's unfair to be copying it and distributing it online. Metlzer says he works almost 12 hours a day on it, and I believe him being that each issue is like a small book with double sided pages with the smallest print imaginable. Boy, I think Meltzer owes me royalties for that sell job. http://www.liveaudiowrestling.com/wo/store/newsletter.asp To be fair, I'll plug the Torch too. The Torch has it's advantages that many of you might find more appealing in that it's cheaper then the Observer (quite a bit if you just subscribe online like I do) and like I said you can subscribe for a cheaper rate to the online VIP subscription and you get every issue right on the computer, which is better anyway since it's put up quicker then the time you wait to recieve it in your mailbox. There's tons of online extra features included like regular audio updates where Wade and the other writers blab about the week's top stories and shows. There's also appendix features with old Torch archives you can read and reviews of shows and videos that are helpful. And you get reviews for TV shows/PPVs emailed right to you. The advantage of the Torch is if you're primarily a WWE fan it focuses mostly on that (and TNA and some indies) but doesn't give much of any coverage to MMA or international. It also has things like opinion pieces, show reviews and other such features. One of the best is the Torch Talk series which are shoot interviews with names in wrestling. The one currently ongoing is with Kevin Nash and it's really interesting. In the past names like Hulk Hogan and The Rock have done them (and those are archives on the site too). http://www.pwtorch.com/torchsubmainpg.html So, in summary, if you want to choose one newsletter, The Torch wins in terms of being cheaper, offering a boatload of online content, provided interesting interviews and feature articles and focuses a lot on WWE news and rumors. The Observer wins out in the depth of it's coverage, especially top stories and business analysis, it also has MMA and international coverage and fascinating history pieces. It lacks online features but is a more lengthy read. If you're a big wrestling/MMA fan like me who doesn't care about spending his money on both, go for it since what one lacks you get from the other. Now why did I write all that up, when you all are still just looking for online bootlegs anyway? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To a certain extent that's true, but the Torch does offer a lot of good content, discussion and analysis for a low price. Think of the Observer like a trade journal and the Torch like a popular magazine and supersite... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
