You want a shoot? Oh, I'll give you a shoot. This'll be like any other of my posts in that its pretty much entirely stream of consciousness. An idea pops into my head, I type it out, then maybe tweak it a little at the end. I'll bounce from topic to topic; from wrestling to posting to, I dunno, vigorously *********ing. Before we get into this, I should point out I don't mean anything personal by anything I say. I can't say I'm sorry if I insult any of you, but that's not my intention. There are few, if any, people on here that don't seem like genuinely nice, kindhearted people. In short, you're a'ight.
Because I can't think of any natural starting point, let's begin with Xfear. Xfear the bi-sexual, who's done every drug in the book (and likely some which aren't) and who likes Japanese and independent wrestling more than anybody else on the forums. I can't say I'm like Xfear. I don't do drugs. I mean, I drink but I draw the line there. Sure, smoking's cool, but since when was I ever cool? I'm as straight as an arrow - a shame, considering the gays seem to more readily overcome the ugliness of both my appearance and my personality than the ladies. I'm even an agnostic atheist as opposed to an agnostic theist - apples and oranges, right?
I like Xfear. He's intelligent, knowledgeable, humorous, puts people in their place when they most need it and often provides a fresh perspective. But this wouldn't really be a shoot if I didn't even attempt to attack people, would it?
Number one - those fucking star ratings. What in the blue hell is with those fractions? Why on Earth does a distinction need to be made between a ****3/4 match and a ***** match? Is there that much of a gulf? I'll answer for you: no, there's not. There's barely any difference whatsoever. It's nit-picking. No, no, it's not even that. It's microscopic-bacteria-picking. Go for an out-of-10 scale or, if that's too much to ask, even an out-of-20 scale. Fractions though? Not even halves - quarters. It's straight-up obnoxious. And yes, the same goes for you, JGlass, and anybody else considering adopting this dumbass rating system.
Number two - Sidious. I'm no big fan of the guy, but I probably liked him a whole lot more than most do. His WWE Shareholders observation was one that sorely needed to be made, I'll say that much. X, publishing his PMs was out of order, as Tastycles rightly pointed out. It's morally ambiguous at best. You're not his physician or his psychiatrist, but he still sent you that stuff in confidence and I don't think it's right for you to humiliate him like this. Creepy as it might be, it's pretty apparent that he saw you as a friend and that telling you that stuff was a cathartic experience for him.
Number three - your lack of work on the staff. It's really becoming a problem. Nah, I'm just fucking with you. As if it matters how much work you do on a job that doesn't even pay. It's not as if you're volunteering for the Red Cross or something. You're doing something out of the kindness of your heart and enforcing arbitrary rules on an internet forum. Do as much or as little work as you like.
Becca is, by all accounts, a lovely girl. A fellow Briton and a fellow wrestling fan. I might even call her a friend if the idea of saying that about someone I met on the internet didn't make me feel like a waste of skin. Despite it not really being that immoral - if immoral at all - that picture of her in KB makes my skin crawl a little bit. What is it with me and skin? Let's just say it's envy and not delve into that particular recess of my mind, huh?
I'll tell you what was undoubtedly creepy - that whole Will saga. The e-marriage, the e-divorce, the e-illegitimate child. The man confessed his love to a teenage girl and apparently he had a wife and possibly children. Do tell me if I'm getting anything wrong here. Luther pointed out how creepy it was at the time, and I seconded him. Time's passed, sure. Still doesn't stop it sending a chill down my spine. That and Will apparently barely waiting for his wife's vagina to recover from childbirth before shoving it back in there means that, as much as I'd welcome Will into my house with open arms, I'd keep some mace and a tazer close at hand should I ever meet him.
Worst of all, his arguments in the WrestleZone tournament were ludicrous. Edge over Undertaker? You'd have to be a filthy pervert to think that would actually happen.
Best poster on the site, bar none. Always correct, always entertaining. Don't know what more you could ask for.
It's gash. Twitter news and fan fiction - as Lee and Coco pointed out respectively. The only time I read it is when someone quotes it to make fun of it.
Being a good debater does not make a good poster. I know because I'd rather read a thousand of Coco's arbitrary Bar Room threads - and they can get really uninteresting - than read one of those sleeping pills you call a debate. I see a page full of quotes and my first instinct is to scroll as quickly as I can. I have zero interest on reading back-and-forths about Hulk Hogan vs. Shawn Michaels. Make one post, make it not read like The Terminator wrote it, move on.
Too many sections. There need be three sections - wrestling, bar room, WZCW. This site simply does not have the traffic to justify so many god damn sections; this is not Something Awful. The difference between the Bar Room and the GSD is less than the difference between a ****3/4 match and a ***** match. Here's a rap I wrote about it:
Pot Luck, Pot Luck,
Sincerely, who gives a flying fuck?
More to come later, for all I know.
