Hunter's Torn Quad 0 Report post Posted April 29, 2007 I'd be very interested to see what the figure of casual fans with Internet access is, people keep throwing percentages around, but i'm sure it has to be more than ten percent. It's not the number of casual fans that have internet access, it's how many of them care enough to visit any wrestling news sites. For the vast majority of the casual fans, their interest in wrestling begins and ends with Raw or Smackdown. They don't care about it enough to seek out more information.

TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted April 29, 2007 Perhaps. Personally, i'd say this was the best 'smarkish' wrestling board on the Internet, perhaps there are some I haven't found, but a lot of marks that I talk to on MSN who think that HHH returning this year will be the third coming of Jesus, they are members of this place and often know a lot of 'inside' news that you say people don't have access too. All you have to do is type in WWE on a search engine and it wont take long to find Rajahwwf or something similar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All you have to do is type in WWE on a search engine and it wont take long to find Rajahwwf or something similar. I didn't say marks don't have access to the news. Just that casual fans don't usually seek it out. They're called casual fans for a reason. They tune in on Monday or Friday, watch the show, turn off, and then go do something else. Sure, you'll have a small percentage who are either eager for more information or just flat out curious, but for the majority of the casual audience, they're satisfied with what they get on TV.

TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted April 29, 2007 Well, whether they seek it our ot not, they'll most likely stumble on it. I stumbled on this place when I was at college because I was bored, it's easy to happen. Anyway, I'll accept you valid points rather than drag this thread even further off topic.

Hawkius Maximus 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2007 I know of two streams. The first you have to pay for, but is uber high quality. Too much for me to stream. The other is free, but really bad quality, to the point that the video skips. If anyone knows anything in the 150-230 KBPS stream range, lemme know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UseTheSledgehammerUh 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2007 Now will they be smart and do a 20-30 minute U.S. Title draw? Given that Benoit/MVP had such a match, are capable of working it, have ANOTHER PPV next month they can work, and the crowd just saw a match twice as long this week and ate it up? I'd love the marks/'net/whoever to both think "Damn, MVP shoulda won that." Or do we get "MVP hits Benoit with the title belt"... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UseTheSledgehammerUh 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2007 What a bullshit stupid ending. A CONTACT LENSE? I remember Arn Anderson writing a piece in WCW magazine about how he wrestled WITHOUT contacts, despite having extremely poor eyesight. So now wrestlers with contact lenses are supposed to be treated as if they're physically handicapped and the match needs to be held up? So the ref says "WAIT, STOP, SHE LOST A CONTACT! DEAR GOD!" While, yes, it is a sneaky heel move, it also screams "Women's Wrestling - Don't Break a Nail!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
