nl5xsk1 0 Report post Posted July 25, 2005 But ESPN doesn't do anything too tasteless or offensive. WWE does. So no, he doesn't need to attack ESPN. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The closest equivalent would be shows like Outside the Lines, which showcase controversial subjects and the like, in an attempt to garner publicity/attention and improve ratings. Much the same way the WWE uses controversial (albeit stupid) angles such as this one, in an attempt to garner publicity/attention and improve ratings. Is what ESPN does the exact same thing as what the WWE does? No, not even close ... but one is a REPORTING organization, the other is an (alleged) entertainment organization. We're comparing apples to oranges. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

USC Wuz Robbed! 0 Report post Posted July 26, 2005 I would hardly call myself a good poster, but thanks, zyn. And I don't really have problems with Y2Jerk. I just think he likes to post for the sake of getting on people's nerves. Otherwise he's an okay poster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Promoter 0 Report post Posted July 26, 2005 Another writer getting on his high horse to write the obvious about the wwe. Seriously, he does make good points, but everyone here has said the same things many times and I'm sure casual viewers at home know it as well. If these writers haven't noticed their responses are exactly what Vince wants when he runs these angles. If they want Vince to clean up his act they should write articles on stuff like Benoit winning the damn title after years and years of busting his ass in different companies and how Eddie Guerrero fixed up his life. That stuff doesn't get written, so Vince does stupid shit to get a response in the media. The only time the media REALLY paid wrestling any mind besides the glory days of the 80's under Vince's watch was Mike Tyson's angle with Austin and Austin feuding with his boss. I bet Vince read that article and is thinking up ways to bring back Hassan to infuriate the media even more, but in a less PR disaster way. I mean, JBL says it all.

Your avatar and signature scream badass and the sloganizer is great. Took me ages for me to choose my signature and still havent decided on an avatar yet. I also like Y2Jerk. His comments are funny, just read them with a pinch of salt. For example: "Proving once again that WWE programming makes people more aggressive." I have a warped sense of homour, so this could be why I find him amusing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
