Support NeoGAF

[Jimmy King]

I chalk up all the bullying to WWE's bad product. We're supposed to be a support system and when you get too close then people start taking liberties. You don't get in this business to make friends, you get in it to make money.

Listen guys, allow me to be serious for a moment.

Here is the thing, I know some of you guys like to make jokes about guys. But the thing is that you don't let up sometimes and it is a constant, mostly unprovoked, barrage of jokes, even when the guy isn't around. And that is all fun and what not, but for the guy on the receiving end, to be the punchline to a joke all the time you come into the thread is just not as fun.

It is not like it is an emo "boohoo they don't like me thing" either, it is more a "I don't really need this, so why bother?" Kind of thing. So seriously, take a step back and look at how you post and if it's really necessary to post like that all the time.

Figured I would put it out there, I am sure this will be ignored or whatever.

It's also up to the person getting ribbed to say when enough's enough. Omerta's real. How are we to know when to stop? Good judgment isn't a prerequisite toward being an illustrious WrassleGAFfer.

 

[lovely ladies]

No, Duncan is my good friend. This thread is just too dang insular, you know?

Let's blame that Horse guy.

 

[DMczaf]

For all the shit talking about the irony of WWE doing a Be A Star program around here, we are just as bad as them.

Just as bad.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

I liked punching and kicking fools in the demo, but the submission system was such a convoluted mess it erased any chance of me buying the game.

Shame, as I loved the old school UFC game on the Dreamcast.

This is what I feared. Thanks Bootaaaaaaaay.

 

[strobogo]

Feel better Duncan.

Target has a promotion where you get a free jar of peanuts when you buy UFC. I'm not sure who's the genius that came up with that offer.

Lol, come on Dana.


Wait, is that a subtle jab at fighter pay?

DM, I think you're a good person

 

[strobogo]

Maybe we all should

Can a community exist without ribbing and bowling?

 

[Aiii]

It passes the "it's fun though" test I think. 7/10.

Would we even want to be a part of a community that didn't?

 

[Data West]

Everyone loved Owen Hart's ribbing. But I always imagine he ribbed Vince Russo and Russo got butthurt and made him the Blue Blazer out of his butthurtness.

Don't be a Russo. Be an Owen.

You tell 'em Jessie.

smh

 

[Spider from Mars]

Nobody in this thread is being bullied. Nobody here is malicious and it's all in good fun

Because I can dish it out, but I can't take it.

You tell 'em Jessie.

I don't know. The last 14 episodes of Theszcast have been subpar at best.

Pretty accurate.

He also likes the inferior Hart brother.

and he's a Laserfraud just using wrasslegaf to get more gawker bookings.

Some of the comments on the Kotaku can be super mean, so anything here is fine in comparison.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Stro says don't watch WWF 1994, but that's like Bret v Owen (again). How can you not want.

Razor vs HBK too. What a magical time to be alive.

With every Bret vs. Owen came a Sparky Plugg vs. Mantaur.

 

[DMczaf]

New Generation is the best.

 

[Aiii]

 

[¡HarlequinPanic!]

Ah, friday night during the longest days of the year being spent at the fucking office. Kill me.


Or worse, recommend me Kenzo Sesuki match on the network.

The WWE Network lets you fast forward through the crap, right?

Stardust approves of matches featuring his former tag team partner and El Torito's dad.

Just tell us their names and we'll send the boys over.

 

[Data West]

Let me ask you something. As much as Raw was filled with jobber squashes back then... They were jobber squashes, and you knew what they were. It was different faces getting beaten up by different guys.

Ok, is today's 'Kofi Kingston vs Miz in a non-feud that nobody cares about, evenly paced match' better than those jobber squashes? I say no.

I'm with the giant metal dragon lord on this one.

Agreed completely. RVD said a long time ago they needed to go back to squash matches to let guys explode on people and showcase their stuff in 3-5 minute matches since there's no Monday Night War anymore to keep people from watching the other channel.

 

[strobogo]

Because those feuds were surrounded in absolute dog shit, and the Bret/Owen feud had way too much of the other family members involved.

 

[UberTag]

I concur. At least jobber squashes were all about builds. And when two people with names fought each other instead of jobbers, there was a story being mapped out from beginning to end and wins and losses actually mattered. They developed rivalries and stories took shape. Even if it was over stupid shit like Papa Shango cursing the Ultimate Warrior and making him bleed green food dye.

 

[BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!]

Kofi has a new pair of pants every few weeks though. That has to count for something.

 

[HOMEBOY OVER HERE]

why the hell did wwe book guys like kane and shaemus in money in the bank matches in the past? I think even khali was in one. awful.

this been posted?

 

[strobogo]

I wonder if those are going to go away with the budget cuts. What is he going to do?

 

[British Monsoon]

This guy;

Is wrestling this guy;

In, like, 8 hours. Should be pretty good.

[¡HarlequinPanic!]

Well hey, with all those budget cuts jobber squashes might not be all that far off

 

[BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!]

I wanna say Stardust will be the new Fandango, but even Fandango got over for like two weeks that one time. I don't see Stardust getting anywhere.

 

[Laserfrog]

I forget the names but sometimes the comments haunt me.

 

[UberTag]

I'd rather see local indy talent getting squashed instead of having them hop around like idiots in Adam Rose's party posse.

 

[¡HarlequinPanic!]

Dat captain america girl woman rosebud during the Euro Raw, though.....

 

[Mr. Enigma]

It's clearly just a way for him to eventually turn heel on Goldust.

That was immediately my thought when he debuted. Doesn't seem like a long-term gimmick to me.

Counter point. Squash matches do jack shit for anyone. how many weeek has DEl rio beat zack ryder, ziggler or kofi to showcase his " aggressiveness. Ryback squashed dudes for months and look at him now. 90% of raw is just to fill time so its ultimately useless one way or the other

 

[kiguel182]

Man, the heat Dixie gets is amazing. It's even hard do hear her.


Also, why is she feuding with MVP? Aren't they both heels?

 

[Jimmy King]

Stardust's problem is he's going to shine far too bright for WWE.

 

[Data West]

I wish Real Ass Undertaker was around and not old because I just imagine him doing this to Adam Rose one night and writing him off tv forever

You mean how Ryback was incredibly over from squashing guys for months? He didn't lose his heat because of his squash matches. He lost them because of lolheelturn.

They aren't, because Miz and Kofi are both jobbers, so no one benefits, which amounts to a waste of time
