Fair enough. It's basically a thread Brody started saying he was a racist.

13 years ago and a fairly tame thread that was mostly based around language barriers in the city after growing up like Hillbilly Jim.

 

I'm a full bleeding heart progressive now. Rainbows and Mini-Flags for everyone!

 

Did the black people who lived around you speak something besides English?

 

Also, is that board normally that stupid/repulsive? I skimmed through it and it remained terrible for the entire 5 year duration.

I don't understand why Scooter keeps reviewing Raw. He's obviously not enjoying it, not least in part because he's writing and only paying a bit of attention. Is he getting paid for it? I'd be annoyed if an employee churned out that little effort. If he's not, what a waste of time.

People still say Scooter?

 

He reviews the 90 minute version. His reviews bring hits to his blog which = money.

Apologies, feel free to call him whatever you want :mellow:

Extend my surprise to the fact that people actively enjoy his lazy reviews.

from the 4/9/01 WON Letters Page:

 

WCW

I'm going to take the cynical view on WCW's death and

simply say "good riddance." At this point, selling the company to Fusient

is like trying to start someone's heart again after they're already brain

dead. I'm sure WCW's few remaining fans would have been happy to

hear news of the sale, but really you know and everyone else also knows

that unless you're a giant media conglomerate with billions of dollars to

waste, like AOL/Time Warner, you're not going to be able to sustain

losses of a million dollars plus a week. If folding the company is the only

way to get rid of certain iron-clad cancerous contracts, and I don't think

we need to list all the names, then it's worth the risk.

The big names in wrestling are always going to get work

somewhere, even if it's with an outfit like iGeneration. You know that

somebody is going to be dumb enough to start a new operation with the

talent and try to fight Vince.

Admittedly, all the hard working cruiserweights are screwed.

But I think this provides a good lesson in economics for everyone. The

ECW talent that left for WCW and made big money, but ECW died off

in the long run. WCW bit off more than they could chew with big money

contracts for no-money talent, and they too, are on the way out.

Everyone on the outside knew the house of cards was going to collapse

one of these days, and propping it up further served no purpose that I can

tell.

but maybe it's the deal with Hogan basically having Steamboat fired for stealing his spotlight? I really don't know what other deal it could be, since the match has been covered extensively in tons of detail and really the only things of note are that they rehearsed it for months and Hogan was pissed about it being so great.

He's dumber that we all thought.

He thinks the pre-2000 archival footage was all taken from VHS tapes. Seriously.

Video quality for pre-2000 stuff is hit-or-miss, as you'd expect, since most of it was mastered from VHS-quality tapes. Clearly none of the full shows were redone for the DVD era like the individual matches were, but it's not like I haven't watched a million VHS dubs in my lifetime.

All videotape is VHS.

Keith and those types annoy me in that there is literally NOTHING that they can like or praise without having to turn in their smark membership card. For example, he's been shitting all over the past few months of TV. Because except for the two or three *** and **** we get in just one show, the rest of the show SUCKS. THUMBS DOWN

That's actually not true. There are all kinds of different videotape formats. VHS stands for Video Home System, so I think you can guess why that's what was distributed to consumers.
