EDIT: Responding to jdw That's it! With Punk, it wasn't enough to have a pipebomb. Then they started advertising pipebombs... coming up next!!! With this movement, once the fans catch on that the Fed is planting catering members and using DB to shill stuff they don't want, this dies too. The issue is they don't need to in order to cash in.

It may be a case that Meltzer used to have the best sources in the world... now he doesn't. He has built up years of goodwill so he can get away with writing bios and analyzing the "health" of the business but the creative part has been hit or miss for awhile now.

Who?

That doesn't change the fact that it becomes less cool.

I think you put more thought into it than they did.

Great stuff Chris!

You know, I enjoyed the RAW segment but I don't disagree with Martin's overall statement. When WWE decides to get behind a "movement" or put its weight behind something different or cool, it tends to not be different or cool within a short time.

Are you fucking kidding me... "Tiiiimmmme Is On My Side!"

The difference is we didn't have the faith in them actually carrying it out. What's this "we", white man? You have blind faith in all they do. We is the 98% of people who agreed with me.

Hold on there clairvoyant. We all knew they needed to add him to the match. The difference is we didn't have the faith in them actually carrying it out.

Man, I enjoyed the hell out of that Christian-Sheamus match. Those guys beat the hell out of each other and their backs showed the damage.

You guys are acting like they are in Tupelo. If this was RAW from Tupelo, mustardjar would be appropriate.

I am thinking that HHH gets a win by nefarious means, Hogan restarts the match and then Bryan wins with a fluke roll-up to get into the main.

It feels like the first time that something actually got under the skin of Hunter.

They fucking did it!!!! It's about time!!!

Man, goes to show, you give Goldust ten minutes for a match and a chance to be FIP and he is going to get the crowd into a match.

What the fuck is Hogan talking about? OK: Nevermind... it was just to hype the Andre the Giant Battle Royal

Was 2008 the Flair DVD release?

Another thing to consider... isn't the pressure for RAW to be 3 hours on the USA side? If so, I can see RAW going back to 2 hours on another network.

It was just a project I thought needed to be done. Kris and Dylan knocked out the hard work and we put the list of 150 together.

Something the mods and admins have talked about in the past is the encouragement of posters to actually post. We don't have a huge amount of posters where the "like" feature would benefit the board. How do you know it is from new posters? Amen.

Yep, so much for that brief moment of comfort.

On the latest MLW podcast, Disco Inferno was on and made the statement, "There are only two types of fans now... kids and smart fans". He made a pretty compelling argument but he argued that with the stream of information coming through, there really aren't casual fans anymore. He wasn't saying the fans are douches or that only a certain element get it but I am curious if you think there are more levels of fans than Disco gives credit to.

Dave is the money maker. I am just a shlub who introduces the next match.
