Mike Killam's latest article on the main page

[Big Nick Dudley]

Spoken like a true Mexican...

Don't take my job. Trust me, there are other people's jobs you can take...

I'm 100% American. That means I'm white.

So you are paid for what you write? That's really all I wanted to know, the amount means little. How do I go about applying for a job? Is there complimentary coffee? How about breakfast? Morning hunger can become an issue.

 

[George Steele's Barber]

Who is the John Hollinger of wrestling power rankings? Fuck the fans vote and writer's opinions, you should come up with something strictly mathematical that can be updated with daily data. Go to that college of yours and find yourself a statistics or math major that can write you a formula and build you program that takes wrestling results and comes up with statistics and rankings.

Any jag-off with a computer can rank people, set yourself apart from every other mediocre hack. Here are some factors to get you started:

- wins
- types of wins (pinfall, submission etc.)
- clean or dirty win
- strength of schedule
- weight for timing
- more points for a PPV than a house show
- points for getting a promo
- points for new merchandise
Etc. Etc. Etc.

This isn't hard. Wrestlezone should have the data or at least the access to the data. You spend enough time kissing ass around here so I know you have the time. Set yourself apart. You'll be so knee deep in internet pussy that women will be suing you claiming that you're the father of all the little Mike "'The Kids' The Kid" Killam Jr's out there.

I don't know, I admire that you have accomplished a hell of a lot more than the rest of us discussion board losers, especially at age 22. But few set themselves a part from the rest of the hacks and you have an opportunity to do that. As much as people criticize LaBar, he did something unique that gets noticed, you could do some thing unique as well. Maybe not my idea but something. Don't be afraid to fail, accept that you are going to fail, work hard and something will happen.

BTW, what ever happened to that Ken Napzok (sp?) guy? He was the only one I ever really wanted to read.

And how much do they pay you?

And how much do they pay

 

[The 1-2-3 Killam]

I actually greatly appreciate these words GSB. Like I said, it's something I'm working towards. I've been working on a decent formula for the past two weeks, and once I've got it done I'm going to pitch it and see what happens.

BTW, what ever happened to that Ken Napzok (sp?) guy? He was the only one I ever really wanted to read.

It makes me happy that people still remember him. He was the most interesting writer on the site, in my opinion, and had things to say outside of the usual WWE/TNA banter. His knowledge of the indies was impressive, and as a manager/booker for a small promotion in Cali, he was at least somewhat knowledgeable. We still maintain pretty regular communication, but he got cut over the summer when management switched around. I wasn't happy about it, and even offered him my spot (seriously, his stuff was way more interesting than mine...), but they wouldn't have it. I'm not sure why... Honestly, I tell this to everybody who asks, but send an email to Nick Paglino and request for Ken to be brought back.

 

[¡Roján!]

I used to think our Big Nick Dudley was your Nick Paglino. You know, until Big Nick Dudley uttered something rather than mindless drivel.

 

[Muffin Top Merkley]

Why don't more people who write for the main page, also try and contribute to the forum?

I mean, besides Labar and his lackey. That didn't really turn out to well for them. (And yes, Labar is the top in the relationship... Somehow)

 

[The 1-2-3 Killam]

Would you really want them to?

 

[Pepe Silvia]

Have you ever asked them why they backed out of the forum debate? Labar made one post in each thread (without actually debating) and Isenberg made some crap up about his account not working.

 

[Coco]

Send me a PM with how much they pay you. I can do your job better than you and would like to know if it's worth my time.

 

[Muffin Top Merkley]

Would you really want them to?

You didn't even attempt to try and answer the question.

 

[¡Roján!]

How much do they pay you?

 

[The 1-2-3 Killam]

I don't know, what the fuck do you want me to say? Because they don't want to...? Because they don't care...? Because they don't want to spend their time in a place that's just going to run them down for every little thing they do...?

I don't talk to Isenberg at all, and Justin's probably "too busy". Why don't random people you vaguely know participate in this forum?

 

[Uncle Sam]

Because I don't have any friends.

THATS NICE! But how much do you get paid?

Because I don't have any friends.

Dude, I'm on fucking line, right now.

Because it was planned by them and KB, and the forum was called out by Isenberg on one of their CSR videos saying "he's been doing this since he was 3"

It was even made certain that only certain people could post in the section, to make sure they

1. aren't mobbed with insults

2. are only taking on one person per debate

 

[The 1-2-3 Killam]

Ok. You win.

I get it, I'm a main page writer. Even though I was a part of these forums before I wrote for the main page, none of you are actually interested in trying to be friends with me. It's ok to be an ass to me, it's ok to treat me like shit and constantly criticize every little thing I do...because I'm a main page writer. I seriously can't make a single post in any thread in any section without being treated like my opinion is worthless because I'm a main page writer, whether it be through rep, PM, or thread.

Do you know what's funny? The only people that haven't been a total ass to me on a consistent basis, apart from Sam and the people I just don't interact with, are the other people you constantly put down and hate on. Even if it's justifiable... Even though I totally turned on him in the election and tried to help Coco win (which I realize was pointless, because Coco didn't even try to help Coco win), Dagger and Habs have been nothing but nice to me.

Guys, before you go all "Killam couldn't handle anybody criticizing his shitty video game..." on me, it wasn't this thread that did it for me. It wasn't the criticism, and certainly not the people that actually tried to pose constructive feedback (even if sometimes it was wrapped it spite). That I can handle, and actually appreciate. What gets to me is the people that don't try to help, that do nothing but treat me like shit and having nothing positive to offer ever.

I'm just sick of feeling like an outsider ALL THE TIME, because I write for the main page. I just realized how stupid it is that I'm trying so hard to be friends with people that just don't give a shit about me, and would rather criticize me on the content of a website they don't even visit. ;

This still doesn't change the fact that I don't know... Again, I don't talk to Isenberg, just like I don't watch CSR...

 

[Pepe Silvia]

I feel like we've come so far Cage... I don't hate you, and I sorta, mostly respect you as a human being...

It's made people lazy and less interesting; not having to tiptoe a line has turned the cage into:

"Hey, that guy did something I don't like. What do I call him... ******spicjewmahal. Yeah! That works, and it took 5 seconds."

I think he was talking about me, man.

I like Mike. I do!

That's not true at all.

Honestly though, I doubt most people even give shit that you're a main page writer. I haven't seen any other threads besides this one where you get shit thrown at you for being a main page writer. As a matter of fact, I think if you had posted that same list anywhere else, JGlass would've shit on you anyways regardless of where you're writing.

While I disagree with your views on this subject I still respect you on the forums Mike.

[jmt225]

Killam... you need to grow some thicker skin, man. It's cool you remain to post here even though you're now a main page writer and I really respect that, but in doing so it leaves you open to more criticism than most around here. You shouldn't let it get to you; in fact, you should actually embrace it. At the end of the day, all they're really doing is giving your article hits, which is all that should matter to you.

 

[The 1-2-3 Killam]

It's not even this thread that I'm annoyed with. And it's certainly not JGlass pointing out the crappy list that annoys me. That list was shit, and I know it. I already explained that one, and I'm working on things that JGlass and GSB brought up. If I had posted that list anywhere else, I would have EXPECTED JGlass to take a giant dump on it!

I do take back saying Sam, Dagger, and Habs are the only people that are decent towards me. That is simply not true, and I'm sorry for that.
