Where did all the Indy Wrestling marks go?

[Slyfox696]

When I first got to these forums, all I heard was the greatest of the current flavor of the week indy wrestler, and how awful guys like Hogan and Cena were. Since then, we've done a complete flip-flop, and there's hardly any indy marks here anymore.

Now, while I'd like to think I played some major role in that (either in changing minds, or driving people off), even I can't be that arrogant. So where did they all go? Where's the legions of Danielson fans now? Where are the Tyler Black supporters? Or the random flavor of the week indy fans now?

It wasn't you. It was the five dozen people that then copied you.

I'm counting me in that. To an extent.

Great question, Sly, and you've reached a point now where there's nobody left to toy with. So you come after Vader and Bigelow. Be ashamed.

I feel the same way about Cena as I did when I first joined the boards. I am ambivalent to him, but dammit, I notice when he's gone. The WWE's product is so much better when Cena is around. It's night and day. I don't hate the guy, I don't love the guy. But he's the best in WWE. Not my favorite, mind you, that distinction still belongs to Jericho, but Cena's damn sure the best.

I haven't watched WWE in ages. Jeff Hardy's grown on me though. Sad I missed his supposedly excellent promo.

Edit: The fuck is Tyler Black?

 

[jmt225]

I'm a fan of both Danielson and Black. I wouldn't claim they're better then Cena, but they're very talented in their own right and put on great matches as far as I'm concerned.

Edit: The fuck is Tyler Black?

he's one of the guys in Jimmy Jacobs stable, he's ok, but not nearly as good as people claim, Jacobs is far better, last ROH dvd I watched had Zach Gowen as a member of the AOTF, that made me want to cry, I really haven't paid attention since

and Danielson and Nigel are the two most overrated peices of shit in the business today, and I may not be a Cena fan, but I do realize he's important to WWE, and is fun to hate, plus he gives the smarks some one to take their rage out on...well besides good ole' Trips adn his trusty shovel

I'm still yet to find out who this Danielson bloke is.

 

[Uncle Sam]

I watched an Age of the Fall promo and fell asleep.

You wouldn't like him, he doesn't screw Canadians

 

[Uncle Sam]

Shawn Michaels' wife is Canadian?

Shawn Michaels' wife is Canadian?

Please they're married, everyone knows married people don't fuck

 

[IrishCanadian25]

Phew.

 

[HBK-aholic]

Please they're married, everyone knows married people don't fuck

It's true.

 

[klunderbunker]

That means you won't want to be Mrs. Hickenbottom.

 

[HBK-aholic]

Sexy Mistress FTW.

Becca u surprise me. I am certain you would have some awareness of Bryan Danielson as he trained at HBK's school.

He is very good. Certainly the best outside of WWE and TNA. Tyler is meh but McGuiness is awesome also.

I'm guilty of it as well

 

[BooCocky]

danielson has the nickname Mr. Small Package, that sounds like a personal problem and isn't something i'd want all 12 indy fans to know

 

[Y 2 Jake]

There was never that much indy discussion in general. One Danielson thread and a couple of others.

It's all RVDgurls fault.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

didnt know who they were when I started. and still dont know.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

Just noticed the Independent section. I guess it's for all those independent threads that get made.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Be quiet Jake, or [edited because, knowing me, it'll be misinterpreted].

 

[RVDgurl]

Hmmm... I never noticed that there were alot of Indy marks on this forum. I always thought I was in the minority trying to spread the ROH love. Myself and JasonSensation are the only two that ever carry on conversation in the ROH thread.

 

[Dead Kennedy]

The Cena vs. Danielson poll pretty much proves that the indy marks around here are dead or convertites.

I made the Cena vs. Danielson thread in General Wrestling. It's currently Cena winning 22-1, with you being the only vote for Danielson.

When the same thread was made a year and a half ago, Danielson won 59-14.



Obviously something happened.
