Actually, live thought might be better. In regards to the Chris Masters performance, EVERYONE in the crowd loved it. People were laughing, cheering. They could not have cared about the Evan Bourne/Miz match or the Sheamus match, but the moment Masters started flexing his pecs, the building came unglued. I was glad I was there live for it, because I watched it back on TV this morning and it did not come across at all.
Thanks for all the great work guys, I really appreciate it.

I have so much to say, so much to vent and you guys can throw this away, post it on the site, put it in a newsletter, or read it on a show, I don't care if you use it to roll up a joint with but I have a lot of venting to do about WWE, TNA, wrestling, etc..................
Ok I'm listening to the free observer live and while I've heard terms like this a million times something set me off. They didn't want Flair to wooo because it's souther? What the holy fuck?!?!?!!?!?!? How has Vince been successful for this long? Are we just all that fucking stupid that we keep handing this guy our hard earned money no matter what shit he puts on the spoon and feeds us? I have bought WWE PPVs, WWE DVDS, WWE ACTION FIGURES, WWE WRESTLING RINGS (um, for my kids of course.....) my parents used to buy us WWE toys when I was a kid 25 years ago, my mom will still buy me goofy WWE magazines and action figures as a joke ever christmas going back to our childhhood THE NAJDEK FAMILY HAS SUPPORTED WWF/WWE FOR ALMOST 30 YEARS NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So I have every right to speak my mind on this stupid shit that goes on backstage. From Flair not being allowed to do promos to Raw last night making a joke out of the match they want people to pay 40 dollars to watch for survivor series, around a time when people like me have to save every god damn dollar they earn in order to provide their kids with a nice Christmas, they want to make a joke out of the shit they want me to pay 3 hours worth or work to see?!?!?!!?!?
WWE needs to know people like me make sure their bills are paid, food is bought, kids are taken care of and IF there is any extra money left over that doesn't go into savings, then we splurge on ourselves to buy things like WWE ppvs, or DVDS, or UFC etc. And right now, if I have extra money left over it goes to UFC!!!!!!!!!!! Because at least if I get dicked on a UFC ppv its because of a judge, an injury, or shitty fighters, but it's not Dana White, Joe Silva, or The Fertittas making a decision to fuck with the fans who make it possible for them to live in houses that have remote controlled waterfalls in the yard!!!!
I'm guilty of this problem too because I'll still watch Raw, SD and buy the occasional PPV and make them think that I'm happy with the shit they are giving us every week. So that may very well end soon. TNA absolutly sucks, I bought ONE TNA PPV in the last few years and it was only because they made an attempt to put 3 young/non superstar guys over in Morgan, Styles and Abyss and it wound up being a good PPV. The next PPV from TNA I buy won't be because of Hogan, but it will be for the first REAL Angle vs Nigel match (YES NIGEL BECAUSE DESMOND WOLF SOUNDS LIKE A CHARACTER ON A FUCKING STREETFIGHTER VIDEO GAME OR THE STAR OF A C LEVEL CINEMAX ACTION MOVIE CALLED SOMETHING STUPID LIKE "DEADLY INTENTIONS") Otherwise TNA is cut fucking off because Vince Russo sucks, and I could give two fifths of a fuck about Hogan joining TNA because it will lead to NOTHING productive for this company in my view.
I know this is all over the place but while watching Raw last night, I see DX and Cena joking and laughing and HAHAHAHAing about their fucking WWE TITLE MATCH coming up at one of the supposed 4 major PPV's of the year?!?!?!?!?!? WHAT?!?!?!?!?!!!? Isn't Hunter some supposed fucking purist? Isn't the world title supposed to be protected? If I hear him on another WWE DVD say something like the WWE Title is the most important thing in our business I'm going to cross body block my fucking TV!!!!!! Not to mention this selfish piece of shit is saying in interviews nobody ever put him over?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!!? Austin, Taker, HBK, Foley, Rock!!!!!!!!!!!!! All are the reason you are what you are Hunter. I'm SURE his stupid spin on that comment is he had to get himself over to a main event spot FIRST and was already over before those guys did jobs for him but that's fucking shit. I'm a fan, I'm a mark, and I know that other fans and other marks didn't take you seriously in a top spot til you beat guys like that. The 2/3 falls cage match with Austin stands out to me as a big moment when fans started taking you seriously. I don't care that so many guys got hurt at the time and you carried the company and were dubbed the MVP of WWF by Jim Ross at the end of that year, you were not a legit, big time, top of the food chain draw til THOSE GUYS put you over!!!!!!!!!! Period end of story!!!!!
When I want comedy, I watch comedy fucking central, or I put in a George Carlin DVD, or I watch Richard Fucking Pryor, or watch South Park, I dont' turn on WWE!!!!! I'm not paying 40 dollars to watch guys go tee hee hee, and ha ha during a main event PPV match. What if UFC did this? What if Brock and Carwin were just going "oooh we're fighting for a title, I better start training yard wink wink" or "Hey I might win, he might win, either way who cares I'll get a rematch next month and you retards will still pay for it, btw buy the new brock lesnar T shirt!!!!!" FUCK OFF !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe merchandise is down because your product fucking sucks? Maybe if people really got behind guys like they did when wrestling at least made some sense, they'd buy more T shirts and DX fucking teddy bears. Does that make sense? Seems to me I see a ton of Tapout and UFC and MMA related merchandise around now then I do WWE shirts, maybe thats because people take that shit seriously because the COMPANY TAKES THAT SHIT SERIOUSLY!!!!!!!!! Maybe the NFL is what it is because every game is billed as important and it means something especially they god damn playoffs and superbowl. They don't make a joke out of it and say 'well we beat you this year, and you beat us lastl year, so who cares who wins the superbowl, could be any of us tee hee hee!!!!" GOD DAMN!!!!!!!!
I know wrestlings fake, but fake movies that have serious storylines to them take that storyline seriously, no matter how silly the splot, or all the action is, they make it out ot be important in the movie so even in some shitty 4zillion dollar summer action movie with guys standing on top of cars going 200 miles per hour while firing 500 rounds of ammo at fucking robots and somehow keeping his balance and dodging the laser beams being shot back at him, THEY MAKE YOU THINK ITS FUCKING SERIOUS and these movies do like 50 million dollars in their opening weekend, then go on to make 200 million worldwide and people buy the DVD after already seeing the movie 3 times in the movie theatre and they buy their kids the action figures, and posters and video games and t shirts that are made for these stupid movies, because they were pushed as SERIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm done, I had to get that off my chest, because the WWE mentality about souther rasslin, and making a joke out of everything is about to make me cut them off completely, but sadly I probably never will follow through on that, and thus Vince stays afloat because or retard loyalists like me.
