Guest Report post Posted July 23, 2008 I'm starting this now. We'll keep it going until the end of August. http://forums.thesmartmarks.com/index.php?showtopic=91483 Reference my posts made in that linked thread for what does and doesn't warrant a thread. I'm going to moderate this much more tightly, so if I see something I think warrants a thread, I'm going to pull it out. You don't like it, oh well, I guess. If you want to talk about it, and not incessantly bitch, take it to the thread up top. If you want to bitch, send me a PM and we'll bitch about it. Pick up where you left off.

Craig Th 0 Report post Posted July 24, 2008 Why bother so much? Does it reallly make that much of a difference? Just let things go, no need to Mod the folder like it's the Mugglenet forums. Look at Movies/TV/DVD thread. Things are perfectly fine there without a lot of "modding." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted July 24, 2008 There is no need for two comments that don't warrant a thread threads. At all. One is all we need. I decided to do it this way based on things people have said in the not so distant past, and things said in the mod folder over the last week. There's no need for modding in the movies/TV folder because people are actually creating threads to talk about stuff. If people are overloading this thread with important things, I'll move those things into a topic of their own. What's the problem with that? I mess with it because it bothers me. Like that stuff you did with :The Thread: Everyone has their reasons. Yours were good enough for you. Mine are good enough for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diamonddust 0 Report post Posted July 24, 2008 Couple of interesting lines about Steve Austin from the 6/3/1991 edition of the Observer posted today: Bobby Eaton set to work a program with Steve Austin. Austin has potential and if he's going to be groomed for stardom, Eaton is a great person to learn to put together a great match from . . -If memory serves me correctly, Austin pretty much beat Eaton out of the gate and held the TV Title for a very long period of time. This one I found quite interesting: I'm sure If this were a perfect world, then Austin should work a year in one more territory before coming to the national spotlight and Merro should learn his trade better in the regionals before going national with this gimmick, however, for all real purposes, regionals don't exist and newcomers aren't going to be as seasoned for stardom when they hit the national spotlight as they were in years past. It's not good, but it's the reality of wrestling's future and WCW does have to introduce newcomers. Some will make it and some won't, and with less seasoning, it's more a crap shoot now than in the past but people will have to realize that's just how it's going to be. The more things change... the more they stay the same. As mentioned before, though, Austin's first year in WCW was pretty successful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Niggardly King 0 Report post Posted July 25, 2008 Matt Hardy is the less interesting Hardy Boy in every way imaginable. From his bland moveset to his stupid hair to his lopsided face that looks like the cover of the Necronomicon, Matt Hardy is bor-ing. He’s the brother who stayed up all night sewing outfits for other wrestlers and busting his ass promoting his indie fed and making ends meet, meanwhile Jeff was dropping acid and writing techno songs about tractors and shaving a Spider-Man into his beard. Matt Hardy is loyal, devoted, driven and professional. Jeff is a drug addict who paints shitty art and has a set of outdoor dogs he keeps in a cage and an indoor dog that he carries around and lets lick his face. The end result is that Matt’s fiancée fucks Edge and Matt gets fired, and Jeff fails like twenty drug tests and gets a main event run. Not even God likes you, Matt Hardy. The most hilarious thing about Tommy Dreamer is that everyone else in WWE, from Shelton Benjamin to dudes who haven’t even debuted yet, has a T-shirt available. WWE doesn’t even bother printing up a T-shirt for Tommy Dreamer, A MAN WHOSE GIMMICK IS WEARING A T-SHIRT WHILE WRESTLING. And why is that? Because not a god damn person would ever pay money for a Tommy Dreamer shirt. Not even his own mother. As a result he usually ends up wearing a shirt that says “WRESTLEMANIA 24” or “JUDGEMENT DAY.” I think it’s time for Tommy Dreamer to just print up a T-shirt that says “UPCOMING PAY PER VIEW” :lol: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

haVoc 0 Report post Posted July 25, 2008 A Virginia company claims to have a urine-based test for human growth hormone that could be used to drug test athletes two weeks after its use, rather than 48 hours or less. The company, Ceres Nanosciences, says the test eliminates the need for blood tests to detect HGH. Players' associations have pushed back on blood tests. Ceres says its test can be available within six months, through the World Anti-Doping Agency. The story was first reported by the Washington Business Journal. Current tests track HGH use only within the past 48 hours. The two-week test, and having it be urine-based, would theoretically make it harder for athletes to evade an HGH test. A WADA spokesman said the organization is encouraging Ceres to continue researching the test. No worldwide studies have been conducted. Credit: ESPN.com Good luck Cena, Batista, HHH, etc,.

Prophet of Mike Zagurski 0 Report post Posted July 25, 2008 The WWE and etc. would never allow this test because it would have to be proven over and over that it's accurate. If the MLB were to implement it, any positive test could be denied. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Kamala 0 Report post Posted July 25, 2008 A while back I was considering going to a Smackdown!/ECW house show tonight about an hour away from where I live. Looking on the venue's website, they're advertising a main event of The Big Show Vs The Great Khali. Also scheduled is an ECW World title match between Matt Hardy and Mark Henry. Finlay, Chavo Guerrero, Jesse & Festus, Shelton Benjamin, Maria, Kelly Kelly, and Hornswoggle. I am so glad I didn't spend $40 to go to that show. Fortunately for WWE, the show sold out a month ago (The venue is pretty small- holds 3000 people max) but christ is that an awful lineup. Not only is there no Triple H or Edge but they couldn't even bother to put MVP, Jeff Hardy, or Umaga on there. But I guess seeing two big guys go at it is worth $40 in WWE's mind.
