d Henderson is an annoying troll

[That N Word]

The dumbass constantly tries to twist people's words and argue with people. He will end up in The Prison one day see it coming. Anyone else tired of him?

d_henderson's an idiot, just ignore him. This is the same guy who made a thread about the Royal Rumble stating we weren't allowed to boo if we dislike the show.

[Hyorinmaru]

I've got no clue who he is.

I don't venture out of the spam areas that often.

He's kind of right. People who boo shows like they've done at the past two Royal Rumbles are obnoxious, entitled, hypocritical mouthbreathers.

Don't know about that on the Rumble examples. The sidelining of Bryan at both was horrendous and last year's Rumble was one of the worst booked ever.

In the era of the Network and TV ratings meaning less and less, how else do fans get their unhappiness across?

No reaction. No reaction kills a wrestler far more than any strong reaction one way or the other. Booing Reigns is simply killing the messenger, which is unfortunately becoming more and more acceptable these days.

If you decide to boo because you're giving up on the product right there and then, fine, whatever, see ya. But how many of the people who booed the shit out of Roman Reigns' Rumble victory obediently tuned in to watch Wrestlemania? The vast majority, I would wager.

My point is, we let these vocal morons have their cake and eat it too, and they're getting worse and worse as a result. Either quit bitching about the show you can't stop yourself from watching, or have the balls to stop watching when you boo the Rumble winner out of the building.

The ironic thing is that it's probably these fans that make WWE reluctant to bring Daniel Bryan back. Hell, I wouldn't bring him back either if it meant the crowd would boo anyone else who gets a push. You shouldn't make money from one big star if it ends up devaluing your other stars because crowds think they own the show.

And TV ratings may not matter as much in the real world, but you know Vince is freaking out about the recent ratings.

Agreed. Some crowds distract with their random off topic chants, but booing or showing vocal displeasure during the RR was on point for the most part. The shows were messy regardless of Bryan.

I feel bad for Rey getting some of the heat just for not being Bryan, but when fans boo the shit out of Rock, you know something has gone terribly wrong with your show. Fans knew he was brought out for a reason & their idea of a band aid did not fix what was wrong about that show.

 

[Барбоса]

I would argue that it is very difficult to stay quiet when something you are passionate about is being run poorly.

You wouldn't expect it with your sports team, so why would wrestling be different?

But that is exactly what happened for long periods with Hogan and Cena and what appears to be happening with Reigns. The company clearly thinks that that is the way to go but refused to have it be the individual the fans wanted.

And what do you know? The wwe had it right all along. There was no way bryan should have gone to mania and faced Lesnar. 1. He would have copped a bunch of german suplexes and been landing on his neck all night 2. He ended up injured again anyway.

Right for the wrong reasons. Another example of how poorly received long-term booking can be. Reigns was chosen regardless of his reception and then poorly booked and developed to make that reception worse. That stubbornness will likely eventually work out but it could take 4 years instead of 2.

And that does not excuse the absolute dogshit booking of the Rumble, which deserved booing. No intrigue. No story.

Hence my point about d_henderson. He said we can't boo the show if we dislike it. Then when I infracted the guy he wrote me back saying our rules suck. Well if you don't want us boo'ing WWE when it sucks, then you have no right to say our rules suck. The guy hates Stone Cold too. Never shuts up about that. How can you not like Stone Cold? Always rude to other posters and angry too. He's one of the very few that I legitimately dislike around here.

 

[Dirk]

Yes, yes, but who is the Henderson fellow? Is that Jeff Jarrett's real name or what?

Because wrestling is essentially a pantomime with staged fights.

But that is exactly what happened for long periods with Hogan and Cena and what appears to be happening with Reigns. The company clearly thinks that that is the way to go but refused to have it be the individual the fans wanted.

The difference between WWE stubbornly pushing Hogan and Cena, and fans stubbornly wanting Daniel Bryan to be the top guy is that Hogan and Cena proved their worth and their reliability for years. So when WWE continued to push Hogan back in the day, or continue to push Cena today, it's understandable. They're proven money makers who rarely took/take days off.

Bryan had to vacate his WWE title almost immediately, then had to vacate the Intercontinental title a year later. But if Bryan came back tomorrow, fans would be pissed if he didn't immediately get pushed into the title picture. And the Royal Rumble 2016 winner would get shit on as a result. How is that fair?

Say what you want about WWE, but their track record is strong when it comes to picking their top guys. Who are the guys that got to the top purely from the fans willing it? Ultimate Warrior? Jeff Hardy? CM Punk? Not the most reliable guys.

Austin and Foley worked out rather well for WWE

 

[Bernkastel]

He's kind of right. People who boo shows like they've done at the past two Royal Rumbles are obnoxious, entitled, hypocritical mouthbreathers.

WWE should go for the hat trick this year. Them trolling the hardcore fan base would be hilarious knowing that they'd still have a packed house again the next year regardless of what they do.

 

[Blade]

Austin and Foley worked out rather well for WWE

I don't consider Austin to be someone pushed to the top by the fans. Vince gave him the KotR victory (back when it meant something) and the promo time before the fans hopped on the bandwagon, so he clearly believed in Austin.

As for Foley, yeah, he did well, but he wouldn't be anyone's choice as the top guy for a wrestling company

 

[nightmare]

Vince gave him the Ringmaster gimmick & even wanted him in a singlet. Austin stood his ground on the singlet & eventually pushed for his idea of his character. Fans got behind him & things took off from there. Fans gave no shits about the Ringmaster & went nuts for Stone Cold. That promo was the spark that lit the fire & from there the everyman ass kicking fan favorite was born.

Vince saw the potential behind Austin's change and ran with it, while creating a perfect heel role for himself for Steve to fight against. How anyone cannot like Stone Cold or what took place during those storylines is crazy. Those segments were gold.

 

[Bernkastel]

I also believe that it wasn't the fans that pushed Daniel Bryan to where he is. I 100% believe that WWE saw this from the very beginning and skillfully manipulated and conditioned the fan base the way they wanted. The WWE fan base is so torn on so many issues that I don't believe for a second that as a collective whole they could have all agreed to jump on one bandwagon without some guidance.

 

[The Butcher]

d henderson's alright.*

 

[George Steele's Barber]

He's a weird dude. Just starts threads complaining about things that are only partially true. Yelling at some fictitious IWC that seems to exist only in his mind.

When he comments on an existing thread or post he makes assertions about the poster or their comments he has quoted that are completed unfounded.

I wouldn't call it trolling. Just delusional ranting. I suspect that he blows the occasional snot bubble as well.

And he's pretty racist.

tl;dr

Jack Hammer doesn't even tolerate him.

It's 2015 and he has an underscore in his name.

Oh shit, my ***** is back. I may have to start poking around more often.

Missed ya, boo.

He once called Jack-Hammer a liberal, which is how I found out that apple cider hurts like a motherfucker when it comes through your nose.
