sek69 Posted October 12, 2005 Report Posted October 12, 2005 That's the downside to only hiring pretty boys who don't follow wrestling: no one knows the names of moves so no one can do decent PBP.
Guest Leena Posted October 13, 2005 Report Posted October 13, 2005 It's not that they just want to hire pretty boys... Let's say you're working on a degree in Announcing/Public Speaking. There's thousands of jobs in the US that involve sports announcing. Once in a blue moon a wrestling position comes along. Where are you going to bother learning material for your upcoming job? It's very difficult to find someone with the extensive knowledge needed to properly call wrestling matches, combined with the skill and qualifications needed to be a solid PBP worker.

That and they berate guys backstage for actually trying to learn about the product. They supposedly mocked Michael Cole repeatedly for being a mark when he tried to learn about wrestling.
Guest Leena Posted October 13, 2005 Report Posted October 13, 2005 Yes, that too. Plus, if you work for WWE on national TV, the chances of you getting another serious gig are virtually zero.
sek69 Posted October 13, 2005 Report Posted October 13, 2005 The following was posted today on WWE.com: J.R. hospitalized Oct. 13, 2005 Earlier today, Jim Ross has been hospitalized to undergo colon surgery. WWE.com will keep you posted if we get any more information. It just keeps getting worse for JR.
Guest Dorian Posted October 13, 2005 Report Posted October 13, 2005 Wow. That was just a classy send off for JR. Just classy. ...I'm so glad I don't watch this company anymore. Anyone in Canada know when TNA and UFC is on and what channel (channel's name please)? I'd like some alternate to this disgusting mockery of pro wrestling.
Guest TheShawshankRudotion Posted October 13, 2005 Report Posted October 13, 2005 TNA is on Saturday at 11pm and Monday at Midnight (I guess that would technically be Tuesday). UFC has Unleashed (usually features 3 matches that reflect a theme - last week had 3 of Rich Franklins matches) at 10pm on Monday followed up by The Ultimate Fighter II at 11pm. There is also The Fight Network, if you have Rogers Digital. It's on channel 427.

Hopefully I get Fight Network. Make my life easier than trying to find it. I found TNA once, but I forgot the channel, hence why I was asking. Thanks Rudo.
Guest TheShawshankRudotion Posted October 13, 2005 Report Posted October 13, 2005 Yeah, it's on SPIKE TV. Channel 32 where I'm from.
Guest Dorian Posted October 13, 2005 Report Posted October 13, 2005 ;; I don't get Spike, or last I looked at my packaging I don't. Hence, I found it on another channel, but I coudln't remember. Stupid beta version TV company division.
