Downhome Posted May 16, 2007 Report Posted May 16, 2007 Or we could just change this thread title to "Comments which don't warrant a thread...totally decided on by HTQ and HTQ alone". I also think that this thread, and the decision on what shouldn't have its own thread, has helped bring TSM down. Just look at the main page. I have it on the default settings, and there's barely any threads at all. This thread should be about VERY minor shit, stuff people want to say but don't want to start a thread, that's what it was started for back whenever. Now certain people demand that actual news items be posted in this thread, news that's pretty important sometimes. If it was up to me the rules for this thread, and what's thread worthy, would be loosened up quite a bit once again.
haVoc Posted May 16, 2007 Report Posted May 16, 2007 I still don't get why people are forced to use the SD spoiler thread to discuss the show on Friday night.
Dobbs 3K Posted May 16, 2007 Report Posted May 16, 2007 Because too many threads is a bad thing on an internet message board

And the reason you, and everybody else with this problem, never PM'd me about it, is...? If people have a complaint about this forum, a PM can work wonders about that. If they get sent.
Downhome Posted May 16, 2007 Report Posted May 16, 2007 I still don't get why people are forced to use the SD spoiler thread to discuss the show on Friday night. I've been wondering that ever since it started to happen. Many times if you do start a SD spoiler-free thread when there is already a spoiler thread up, the spoiler-free thread will either get deleted, closed, or folded into the already open thread.

Many times if you do start a SD spoiler-free thread when there is already a spoiler thred up, the spoiler-free thread will either get deleted, closed, or folded into the already open thread. For the record, I haven't touched the Smackdown threads in forever. Whoever is moving or deleting them, it isn't me.
Downhome Posted May 16, 2007 Report Posted May 16, 2007 I'm not even sure if people close them anymore, but I do know that I stopped started SD threads simply because I got tired of someone closing them, locking them, or folding them into the spoiler thread. If SD threads are fine again, that sounds good to me. I really do think we need to loosen up the "comments which don't warrant a thread" deal though, and I'd be willing to bet that most people here would agree with that. Heck, if some people come here for the first time they might not even stick around since there aren't hardly any threads in the main folder on the board. Just my two cents.

The SD thread issue seems to have worked itself out lately. We're loosening up on the Comments...deal, as you can see. If it goes well, then great. If not, we'll deal with that too.
Kahran Ramsus Posted May 16, 2007 Report Posted May 16, 2007 Personally, I never saw a problem with the Smackdown threads.
AntiLeaf33 Posted May 16, 2007 Report Posted May 16, 2007 Yeah, I'm a pretty big fan of the Smackdown thread. It was always a bit of a pain in the ass to either look in here for the spoilers, or have a OAO Smackdown thread AND a spolier thread.
Guest fistwrestling Posted May 16, 2007 Report Posted May 16, 2007 I'm a stupid tool. This one's for you, Venker.
mysterious_w Posted May 16, 2007 Report Posted May 16, 2007 So, that is either an extremly bad parody or an extremly bad satire of the RF line of videos. How remarkable.
DrVenkman PhD Posted May 16, 2007 Report Posted May 16, 2007 How long until someone bans this guy and edits his ad to say "I'm a stupid tool" or something to that affect?
Boxer Posted May 16, 2007 Report Posted May 16, 2007 I got this from rajah via Meltzer. Although this has less than a 50% chance of happening, there has been a push by William Regal to move to Raw for a singles run. This move has been okayed by Triple H. Ok, serious, what the FUCK man. Triple H has to approve a roster move now? Really man, this is getting absurd.
DrVenkman PhD Posted May 16, 2007 Report Posted May 16, 2007 The context implies that HHH approved of the idea; that is to say, agrees it could be a good move. He's an influential guy, after all.
Downhome Posted May 16, 2007 Report Posted May 16, 2007 I'm totally for that 100%, even though I think it sucks that they haven't done much at all with the tag team on SD, since I'm a big fan of both of those guys.
USC Wuz Robbed! Posted May 16, 2007 Report Posted May 16, 2007 I'm not all for it. What can Regal do on Raw? Nothing.
Hunter's Torn Quad Posted May 16, 2007 Report Posted May 16, 2007 I'm not all for it. What can Regal do on Raw? Nothing. Regal will work his magic with Cena and make him look a like a million dollars.
cabbageboy Posted May 16, 2007 Report Posted May 16, 2007 If nothing else Regal could at least get a decent IC title run out of it that might prove better than his late 2001/early 2002 run (power of the punch gimmick was fun, the feud with Edge sucked).
DrVenkman PhD Posted May 16, 2007 Report Posted May 16, 2007 I'm a stupid tool. This one's for you, Venker. Well done.
Thanks for the Fish Posted May 16, 2007 Report Posted May 16, 2007 I'm all for Regal heading to Raw if it means a legit singles push. I believe he and HHH are pretty solid as Regal looked out for HHH back in WCW when HHH was breaking in, hell, put the two together in some sort of faction once DX is caput. I firmly believe Regal could be a top guy if given the opportunity (same goes for Val Venis if he was given a JBL push). What will happen to Dave Taylor? Maybe team him with Paul Burchill, Harry Smith or Steve Lewington or something or he could be used as a trainer in the developmentals. I don't think Taylor could be a singles wrestler, unless he was some sort of player-coach where he would feud on houseshows withthe greenback of the month.
Mike wanna be Posted May 16, 2007 Report Posted May 16, 2007 I'm not all for it. What can Regal do on Raw? Nothing. Regal will work his magic with Cena and make him look a like a million dollars. If we're lucky he might show him how the STF is supposed to look.
USC Wuz Robbed! Posted May 16, 2007 Report Posted May 16, 2007 But they aren't going to do that. What they will do is put him in the same group as the other 30 people fighting for a few minutes of Raw time. I'd much rather they left him on SD to help tide people along like Benoit and Finlay.
The Niggardly King Posted May 16, 2007 Report Posted May 16, 2007 Cena/Regal would be off the charts. Regal has this weird aura of being able to be a complete buffoon... comedy character for a few months, then come straight back into playing this great grizzled veteran bad ass character.
Hunter's Torn Quad Posted May 16, 2007 Report Posted May 16, 2007 Also, for those of you who have written about this, and we haven't gotten so much mail about a simple TV match finish in a long time, the story behind that Edge-Shawn Michaels pinfall at Raw and how it went down is discussed in detail in Monday's Observer. This should make for some interesting reading.
ANKLELOCK Posted May 16, 2007 Report Posted May 16, 2007 As someone who doesn't subscribe, I want some paraphrasing when it comes out because that bugged the hell out of me.
canadafour Posted May 17, 2007 Report Posted May 17, 2007 Does anybody agree that the last good summerslam was 2002? It was a good card top to bottom
The Amazing Rando Posted May 17, 2007 Report Posted May 17, 2007 Does anybody agree that the last good summerslam was 2002? It was a good card top to bottom Absolutely.
Taker666 Posted May 17, 2007 Report Posted May 17, 2007 Does anybody agree that the last good summerslam was 2002? It was a good card top to bottom I think Summerslam 05 is underrated. I thought it was a great PPV. but I agree, SS 02 was WWE PPV of the year for me.
