I'll only comment on the ones I know enough about.

 

Dr. Tom - Tom posts here? I like him, he's a fuuny guy at times and a damn fine poster in the CE folder at TSM.

 

MyOwnSummer - CWM is cool. His posts have improved dramatically in all ways.

 

Sass - He knows his shit. I liked reading his posts in the Wrestling Folder.

 

teke184 - I loved his shoot reviews at TSM's site. I wish he'd still do at least the non-RF ones.

Cerebus The Aardvark: I just remember him being the man when it came to contributing to any thread that opened up the opportunity to knock women. Time have change, obviously, but you always knew you were going to get a quality response in those threads when you saw his name there.

 

Dazed: Haven't always paid attention, but Nik seems to know his fair share about wrestling and what works and what doesn't. Not really afraid to speak his mind, which is a quality that I fully endorse when it comes to particular situations (i.e. the way things are run at TSM).

 

Dr. Tom: I think debating about CE is a futile activity, so I usually don't see most of Tom's posts. He has, however, always shown to have a good head on his shoulders and the ability to back up just about anything he ever says.

 

godthedog: One of those guys who just sorta blends in, but you know would be cool to chat with one-on-one, especially when it comes to movies. I still remember the verbal beatdown he gave that welshjerichomark about majoring in film a while back at TSM.

 

Hungry Jack: Has much love for the newest hot shit, classic video games, and hats. Doesn't post a whole lot, but he's a cool cat to chat with.

 

IllustriousOne: Ill is like the Rock of messageboards. There was a time when he was a regular poster who was well-received. Then all of a sudden, actual posting from Ill became irregular to the point where you knew it was some special occassion when you saw an Illustrious One post. He's also fielded more computer problems for me than either of us care to admit.

 

IndigoPleasure: Never had any problems with her, although her beefs with CJ got old to read after a while. Not saying it was her fault, but uh, just saying.

 

MyOwnSummer: Never cared for him as a poster, but he's a good guy to have around. I always think back to the time TSM was doing a quasi-invasion of WDI and CWM thought he busted me for being some crooked eBay seller. As it turns out, it was just some guy who had my original message board handle. Good times.

 

Sass: Takes things 'net-related a little too seriously, but I could listen in awe like a kid listening to an old wise man, when it came to wrestling stories.

 

teke184 : The best shoot reviewer I've ever read. He puts SK's recaps to shame. Puts together some mean comps from what I understand, too.

Cerebus The Aardvark - Terry is as Terry was, blah blahblhablhalba. Nah, honestly. I've known Terry as long as I've known CJ, which is a frigging long time. He's a great guy, with awesome opinions. Much <3

 

Dr. Tom - My "boss" over at TSM, even though he and I both know who really runs the show ;] Cool guy.

 

godthedog - Don't really know much about him, but he's always seemed interesting and pleasant.

 

Hungry Jack - Where IS Jack anyways? He's another one that's been around a long time that I know and love.

 

IllustriousOne - This guy fucking blows some serious ass. Who the fuck would ever put this kid in a list? What a loser.

 

IndigoPleasure - Crystal's helped me with some issues I've had with life and things similar. Much <3 to her too. Glad she and Terry finally got together.

 

MyOwnSummer - <3 to CWM. He backs me up when I make rash decisions everywhere.

 

Sass - I agree with Bruiser about Sass and the net, but he's definitely someone I look up to as a person. Much like Crystal, he's helped me with some personal problems, and I consider him a friend.

 

teke184 - Fantastic reviewer. Out there as a moderator. I have nothing but love for teke.

Dr. Tom- Funny guy who knows his stuff even if I don't always agree with him.

 

godthedog- GTD is a funny man. One of the more entertaining people at TSM.

 

Hungry Jack- Jack's cool.

 

IllustriousOne- Ill's really cool, Almost as quiet as Treble in chats, but always up for some fun.

 

MyOwnSummer- Flamer. Takes the net too seriously.

 

Sass- Sass is the man. He's always been insanely cool to me. He was the one who asked Dutch to unban me at WDI. I can't say enough nice things about Sass.

 

teke184- Great Shoot reviewer.

Ok, I will try to post as honestly as I possibly can about each poster.

 

Cerebus The Aardvark - First off, seeings how I am married to the man, I may be a bit biased. But that aside, Terry is a good guy. He will speak his mind, and will not mince words or be apologetic for voicing his opinions. His posts were almost always full of content. He knows his stuff. I may not always agree with his views/thoughts, but he will at least try to make you understand why he thinks/feels that way. Once known for his mysoginistic views, Terry has mellowed out over time. But he still knows his shit where movies, music, sports, rasslin', and Magic are concerned. An overall good man.

 

Dazed - I actually hadn't really read of anything of his until the plagerising incident. So, I can't really make too much of a comment on him. But he seems like an alright guy.

 

Dr. Tom - Haven't had too many interactions with Tom (especially since the days of WDI), but from what I remember, he was a good guy and made inteliigent posts.

 

godthedog - I don't really know the poster, so I can't really comment on him.

 

Hungry Jack - Haven't interacted with him since the WDI days. He was an ok poster.

 

IllustriousOne - A former fellow member of a long gone clique. Josh is a smart man, and knows what he is talking about. He knows his computer stuff. His posts are usually right on, and he doesn't have a problem with saying what he thinks/feels. Was a good friend to me and helped me a lot.

 

IndigoPleasure - A *very* misunderstood poster/person. Doesn't look to be flamed, but will not back down from a fight. Will stand up to anyone that insults her, her friends, or her loved ones. (Even when it isn't worth it.) Doesn't always "bring the content", but can and will on occassion...or when the topic is something she loves. Known more for being a good friend and someone you could talk to.

 

MyOwnSummer - Didn't realize that he was CWM until a couple of days ago. Never had a problem with him, and he seems like an ok guy.

 

Sass - A genius when it comes to wrestling and the goings on behind the scenes. A good guy, and a good friend.

 

teke184 - Haven't talked to him since the days of WDI (and even at that, it was only a few times). But I know he makes one hell of a wrestling compilation since we own one of them.

Cerebus The Aardvark: I've seen the guy around for like forever, but haven't interacted with him directly too much. I've seen him all over the place too, including places like CRZ's W board, where I think he may have been suspended for 24 hours or so. Never had a problem with the guy.

 

Dazed: Don't know much about him aside from the plagiarism thread. That was some fine detective work on his part. Too bad Loss already claimed the Matlock theme.

 

Dr. Tom: Stand-up guy who's not a bullshitter. Excellent guy to sit down and talk a number of topics with, especially sports. The stories he told me about Baltimore's CFL team in the mid-90s brought a smile to my face.

 

godthedog: Loss, sell me on this guy. Well, I've noticed he's quite funny, but is there more method to the poster's madness?

 

Hungry Jack: Didn't interact to much with him either, which I wish I did. He struck me as a cool guy.

 

IllustriousOne: Hard worker, great guy to talk to. Josh's cool.

 

IndigoPleasure: Second verse, same as the first. Never spoke with Crystal directly, but she struck me as being cool.

 

MyOwnSummer: Never realized it was CWM until recently. Fine poster.

 

Sass: A guy I really, really regret not talking with directly, even though I've seen him around for years and years. Incredibly knowledgable about wrestling and physical fitness, as well as sports. I think his take on wrestlers and steroids that he wrote in December of last year at TSM is required reading. I feel bad that the guy never got to go to the World's Strongest Man competition, but at the same time, it's nice to know that the guy's health is better now. At least, to my understanding, it's better. Sass is the man.

 

teke184: King of Shoot Interview Recaps. I remember when Flea was starting to shoot out IWC 100 lists, and I petitioned to him to toss Brandon on there. I think I put too much effort on that anyway. Besides, Brandon's work is what gets him recognized, not some list. Anybody who thought Scott Keith's recap of Jim Cornette's 2000 shoot was great should read teke's recap to really see the interview done justice. Teke's also a fine guy to chat with, and he's given me plenty of advice as far as DVD hunting goes. A straight shooting Republican, too, but you know where he stands with a given subject. Also not a bullshitter. I would love it if the Shoot recaps make a return.

Cerebus The Aardvark -

 

the first person I'd met on the internet whom I conversed with on a consistent basis. In the beginning, I used to talk to Cerebus, Josh and BX on ICQ. Cerebus actually reached out to me (I forget the reason, probably porno-related) and we got to be pretty tight afterwards. I remember telling him he sounded like Kevin Smith on the phone. He used to always IM me and tell me about some crazed psycho stalker chick that wouldn't stop obsessing over him and how he'd never give her the time of day. Well, he did end up giving her that time, eventually married her and gave her something even more permanent, a child. *shakes head* The less said the better, but through it all, I like Terry but this is a case where you just can't go home again and the past is too convoluted and too many real feelings involved to ever make right. It's too bad because I miss the old Cerebus.

 

 

Dr. Tom -

 

The first person from the internet I ever met in person. Actually, the ONLY person from the internet I've met in person. I always held Tom in high regard as a poster and he is extremely well-rounded, something I admire in fellow posters. He gave me a place to host my mainstream DVD reviews when the original Smarks closed down and a place to argue with Marney about Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon with his old board and website, Cynics Rule. Tom, like Loss4Words, is one of those people that no matter how much we may disagree in a thread, it was always all good away from that. I remember going round and round with this guy about Minority Report at TSM but neither of us took it personal. 'Net bull aside, Tom's just a straight up good person and when I moved a little bit closer to him this time last year, I took several opportunities to hook up with him again. Tom came through for me on a personal level many times when he didn't have to and if I never told him, THANK YOU.

 

godthedog -

 

the only guy I would concede to concerning movie knowledge. not because he is a student but i think his love and level of expertise would be the same whether he were a student or not. and i hate to pigeonhole people so i won't say that movies are all he knows. gtd is a guy who is well-spoken on a variety of subjects and he's someone whose posts i always zero in on because i truly respect his opinion even if i don't agree with it.

 

Hungry Jack -

 

Jack is my Canadian partner-in-crime, dawg. Whereas on messageboards, certain posters were always inexplicably linked to me, Jack was the one guy who was always my wing man in chats. Being that far up north never stopped Jack from being on top of things pop-culturally and he, like me, always looked to push that envelope and pioneer the next thing, hence us calling ourselves "The Trendsetters" all those many eons ago. Me and Jack generally kick it about old school hip-hop and current producers. He also sent me a swank powder blue Mitchell & Ness Phillies cap. Jack's good people and always tries to hit me up on AIM, even if I'm generally not around or up that late anymore.

 

IllustriousOne -

 

Honest to God, I don't even know what to say about Josh. He's like that old Starter jacket in the back of your closet. You have fond memories of it and on occassion you may still bust it out and go all retro on mafuckas wit it. But mostly, it's just there, waiting, reliable, still cool as hell and serves its purpose. It's hard to believe I've got 5+ years of history with this guy. It doesn't happen as often as it used to but one-on-one chats between Josh and myself used to produce some CLASSIC moments and off-center banter that was so great we'd sometimes (okay, ALL the time) marvel at ourselves and how cool we really are.

 

IndigoPleasure -

 

Internet drama queen and supreme attention whore. Always was, always will be. She's the 'net version of Livia, Tony's mother on the Sopranos. Every single thing about her fuckin' disgusts me.

 

Sass -

 

No denying Sass' wrestling knowledge but I'd be lying if I didn't say there have been more than a few moments over the years where Sass has creeped me out and fell into a weird state where he toed the line between slightly normal and "The Game/Reverend Reason/Steffie/Sherlock Zsasz/the Genius/Team Havok~!!" territory. A few times he was really out to get me, especially when he felt I attacked his road dog, Loss. It's all good, though. I'm genuinely glad Sass is still around to contribute and that he made it through those hard times he faced a while back.

 

teke184 -

 

An all-around solid poster who can also contribute anywhere with a well-thought-out post. Hooked me up with Great American Bash '87 on VHS for an episode of Smackdown he missed. Totally unfair trade (that ep of SD! was FAR superior to anything that EVER happened in the NWA in the late '80s and you know it!) but I appreciated the effort anyway.

Okay, seriously. I can see where this might be headed, so let me send out a pre-emptive "GET OVER IT. BOTH OF YOU". You don't need to derail a thread that was made with genuinely good intentions with this crap.

I ain't trying to derail shit. This thread asks for your thoughts on the following posters and I put my honest to goodness thoughts here on everyone I knew and had thoughts about. She or anyone else don't like it, tough shit. Shouldn't have asked. Nothing for me to get over, Dad.

 

Neither Drederick Tatum nor I are scared of anyone here.

Cerebus The Aardvark

 

Terry is a quality guy, chats with him present were always grand. He's hipped me to some good music down the years, so for that I am grateful.

 

 

Dazed

 

Don't know this guy well enough to comment.

 

 

Dr. Tom

 

The Doctor is also a good egg, and an excellent moderator over "there". He's got his shit together to be sure.

 

 

godthedog

 

Another guy I've never really had occasion to interact with. Unfortunate, I suppose since he seems to be a wealth of knowledge concerning films .

 

 

Hungry Jack

 

Well, that's me. I guess I;m surprised I'm still around, even the limited amounts I *am* around. Heh.

 

 

IllustriousOne

 

Josh is fabulous, if only for the fact that hes moderated damn near every messageboard I've ever frequented. He's also been my saving grace as far as my computer goes as well. Yay Josh.

 

 

IndigoPleasure

 

Indy goes way back. Nothing much else to say really.

 

 

MyOwnSummer

 

CWM... where to start. It's best that I don't. But he's alright.

 

 

Sass

 

Sass I've always enjoyed talking to, because he's always been there to listen to my stories of the crazy broad I used to date, and laugh the laugh of the embittered with me. Not to mention, he's a veritable fountain of wrestling knowledge who has been able to answer the few questions I've ever had. He's had life throw him a curveball or two, but he's persevered. Definitely a quality gentleman.

 

teke184

 

Excellent writer, I used to love his shoot reviews, but for whatever reason, I never really interacted with him outside the occasional AIM chat. My loss, I guess.

Cerebus The Aardvark - I actually remember talking to him in some of the old WDI chats. I can't remember what we talked about though.

 

Dazed - Nik is my man. A brutally blunt and down-to-earth mother fucker with a potty mouth. He showed me a picture once and I swore he looked like Steven Regal... no shit.

 

godthedog - Nothing but utmost respect for GTD. I've chatted with him a few times on AIM and I can't believe this guy isn't older than he is. I hope that he succeeds with his film endeavors and that I see his name on the credits of a critically-acclaimed film.

 

Hungry Jack - I always think of Billy Milano when I see his name. I don't know why.

 

IllustriousOne - I wish he would keep his focus on one board and stick with it. If he did, I think it would probably be the premiere message board in the wrestling community. As it stands, he is (or was) spreading himself thin.

 

IndigoPleasure - The only confirmed real female poster I have come across on these boards.

 

MyOwnSummer - Wow... CWM... I have mixed emotions about CWM. On one hand, I think he is probably one of the mroe genuine posters out there. I genuinely like chatting wih him on AIM. On the other hand, I have been vocal about my disdain with his posting style. At TSM, CWM was always there defending the post counts while I was rallying to get rid of them. We have both been post whores in our time so I don't fault him for that. Everytime I think this guy has nothing to offer he'll break out a meaningful post that makes me rethink my position on him.

 

Sass - I have alot of feelings about Sass... they deserve their own thread.

 

teke184 - I am happier than pig in shit that I read his Iron Sheik shoot recap at the old TSM writers folder. I also remember mentioning that I had made a comp of 1998 WCW PPV matches and teke wanted a copy. That began my three year journey with teke. We began trading matches and shows. I asked him to write for the site and the rest is history. I don't think politics has ever entered any of our conversations even though we are on opposite ends of the political spectrum, yet, I have had more AIM conversations with him than any other person on the net... with Loss a distant second. With teke's shoot recaps, he gave us the one truly worthwhile contribution in the IWC of the last five years.

At TSM, CWM was always there defending the post counts while I was rallying to get rid of them.

Yes, this is something I regret now personally because I'm now anti-post count but no one will believe me because of how idiotic I was before. I'd like to say I'm a completely different person now, but I don't think I am. I think I have gotten a bit better and I'm going to endeaver to make some of you forget about my negative aspects.

Good luck.

Cerebus The Aardvark - Ah, how I miss the days of the IA. I always really liked Terry. Everyone else seems to mention his mysogynistic side, but I never really experienced that at all. I just knew a guy I enjoyed talking to who I always had a feeling was needlessly self-depreciating, because I couldn't think of any reason he should insult himself all the time. Turn that frown upside down, Cerebus! (I spelled it right!!!!!)

 

Dazed - Is this Nikjohns? I had no idea for the longest time. I love me some Nikjohns. We're a lot alike, and I've enjoyed the non-wrestling talks about life and love that we've had as much as I have anything else. He's someone else who's also needlessly self-depreciating. I think I'm noticing a pattern.

 

Dr. Tom - We didn't always agree on what was the right direction for TSM to take, but outside of that, we've generally been cool with each other. We seem to take a polar opposite stance on many important issues, but I guess sometimes having that alternate viewpoint is nice. I've known Tom as long as I have anyone on the boards. For some reason, I always laugh when I think of him, because I remember Choken One telling him he had a Silent Bob gimmick once, and it was so ridiculous that it was hilarious.

 

godthedog - And a godly dog he is! Seriously, I respect the hell out of this guy because he's so good at giving constructive feedback when I write something, and we've always had kind of a mutual platonic crush. He's a personal favorite.

 

Hungry Jack - I really like HJ as well. Very cool and non-confrontational, which is something this board needs sometimes. I remember those WDI chats on AOL and how he was always there. He liked my CD! What more can I say?

 

IllustriousOne - Ill is someone, like many here, that I've known and been around for so long that I almost take him for granted. He's the savior of TSM and all of its bastard stepchildren. I wish I could mod everywhere, just so I could read the private gossip.

 

IndigoPleasure - Someone I haven't had a lot of interaction with, but someone who I've never had any problems with either. I'm afraid to say too much, because she was around at the same time as csplit and lemonaderin, or whatever their names were, and I tended to get them confused at times because I'm a sexist pig. I do remember us having some awesome AIM conversations though.

 

MyOwnSummer - CWM doesn't deserve the bad rap he gets. The two of us have always been perfectly cool. I've always seen it as the problem people have not being CWM so much, but rather that people associate him with others who tend to polarize people, so he ends up guilty by association. How many times have you heard the phrase "CWM and FS", for example? Probably almost as many times as people used to use the term "Loss and ..."

 

Sass - We've grown apart since the Hell that was modding TSM, but sometimes, I really miss the old days. There's goodhelmet, but besides that, there aren't really any other people I can think of that I could randomly ramble on about old territories to that would both listen to me and understand what I was talking about. Sass is a sentimental favorite of sorts, despite everything, and I speak to him or see him very rarely anymore, and when we do talk, it's normally about life and family, not even wrestling.

 

teke184 - I'm an old school Teke-liker, as I was a fan of his even before the shoot recaps. I'm the original, you're all pretenders. Or something stupid. Anyway, Teke rocks and I have a world of respect for him! Has a perspective on wrestling that's sorely missed and I hope he'll eventually start posting more at NMB. He's definitely welcome and wanted.

Dazed - Is this Nikjohns? I had no idea for the longest time. I love me some Nikjohns. We're a lot alike, and I've enjoyed the non-wrestling talks about life and love that we've had as much as I have anything else. He's someone else who's also needlessly self-depreciating. I think I'm noticing a pattern.

 

I swear to god, I have a girlfriend

 

 

IndigoPleasure - Someone I haven't had a lot of interaction with, but someone who I've never had any problems with either. I'm afraid to say too much, because she was around at the same time as csplit and lemonaderin, or whatever their names were, and I tended to get them confused at times because I'm a sexist pig. I do remember us having some awesome AIM conversations though.

I am csplitt on AIM.

You ARE? All this time I thought you were two different people.

 

Yah, we are one in the same. (I'm also sierra skyes on AIM.)

 

 

Should this worry me?

No.

For some reason, I am still worried. Heh.

godthedog - And a godly dog he is! Seriously, I respect the hell out of this guy because he's so good at giving constructive feedback when I write something, and we've always had kind of a mutual platonic crush. He's a personal favorite.

FEEL THE NONSEXUAL TENSION~!

 

i have a film professor who has the same kind of analytic mind loss has, being able to break down a scene & say what it's about & explain how it works, and make all these clever awe-inspiring observations all the while. i'd have an enormous crush on her too if she shaved her armpits and wasn't 60 years old.

 

i have to be honest, i just scanned this thread looking for my name.

So you're saying all I have to do is shave my armpits? Nice ...

Cerebus The Aardvark - Terry was a guy I looked up to when we were posting at WDI together. He's very intelligent and sharp as a knife. If anyone deserved to call themselves Witty Banter, it's this guy. His anti-female posts were quality. He pushed for WDI to have content and it ended up becoming a content vs. comedy war that saw Super Chicken make a run-in. For a while there, when Josh had control of WDI for, like, 3 days, I thought Terry was going to be made an admin and help change the dump for the better. That idea got me psyched about posting there again. Alas, that never came to pass. I can't praise this knyggr enough. He rulz teh sk00l d00d~!

 

Dazed - Nik is probably one of the best wrestling reviewers online today. Period. That's no hyperbole either. I don't hand out compliments like that often. His work is a must read for anyone interesting in wrestling. I wish things at TSM could have progressed the way I had hoped. I would have made it my duty to get his name out there after churning out some lofty load of reviews to back up my appreciate for him and his work. Loss was the guy who pointed Nik's work out to me and I am truly grateful that he did. If wrestling ever becomes interesting again, and he decides to review it, then I see Nik reaching tomk or even DEAN~! status of respect amongst online wrestling fans for opinions on matches and workers. I hope to read more of his work in the future here.

 

Dr. Tom - Tom is someone I have always had a huge amount of respect for going back to the EZ board days at Rantsylvania. We share a lot of the same beliefs from a political standpoint, albeit not all, and he's a huge sports fanatic for his favorite teams. I like that. Tom is also one hell of a writer and has done a better job covering football games than some of the larger talking heads. He's a guy I'd want to have in a fight with me, which is a really big compliment since I've never tried to coax or beg someone to fight my battles for me. But Tom, he's a guy who I could see showing up ready to throw down if a *biiiiiggg* fight ever broke out and not back down. He's also one of the most stand-up and class act guys I've ever encountered online as well. He doesn't drink often, he?s never done any drugs, and he doesn't appear to have any disparaging STD's. That's marriage material right there. But Tom's going to probably find some 20-ish year old nympho at one of his card tournaments and we'll probably never hear from him again because of all the wild sex he's having. Kinda like me. Yeah, Tom and I are alike in a lot of ways the more I think about it. He's like an older brother to me in one regard since we're only like 4 years apart in age. I'd be proud to have Tom as an older sibling. We'd raise hell together.

 

godthedog - gtd is someone I would make a kingpin in the movie industry if I had any sort of pull or power in Hollywood. I don't care what position he'd want, all I know is that I'd want him in my company house if I was making movies. I don't care if he'd even want to work the lights. I just think this guy has a mind for cinema that could knock the film world on its ass if he ever got into the field professionally. Whenever gtd makes a post in NMB or TSM's Cinema folders, I'm there. His TSM articles were the only reason I wanted to blend Wrestling and Pop Culture together instead of making the front page wrestling only because his reviews were just too good to toss underneath the carpet. Like Tom, gtd is one of the better writers I've had the fortune of checking out. This guy could probably be the heir to Roger Ebert one day if he truly wanted to go into the film critic business. He will tell you why he liked or disliked something and make sure that he's covered his reasons. I hope to see him in the Calendar section of the LA Times one day. That way, I can tell my kids I knew that guy when he was just some dude posting on a couple message boards that I was at. gtd is good people to be around.

 

Hungry Jack - Jack is someone who I'd probably hang out with. Both drug and post drug days for me. We'd party like fiends into the wee hours of the morning if I were still into liquor and the occasional smoke or two. But Jack is also a dude I could see fatting around the house with, watching TV, eating some chips and sammiches and just shooting the shit for the whole day without feeling antsy or bored with him around. We'd probably go back and forth talking about the NFL or the CFL like every other day if we hung out on a regular basis or talks about bitches and music or some shit like that. Plus, last time I check anyways, Jack frequented the gym so then I'd have a spotter to work out with and him vice versa. Jack's also a guy who I'd want to have backing me up in a fight for sure. This guy will throw down and that's a valuable commodity to have around you. Jack is probably one of the more level-headed folks to frequent these parts as well. I always kinda thought Jack was one of the few voices of reason during the WDI vs. SNKT days since he thought all that stuff was gay and shit. You can't argue with that. Jack is good people and I wish he'd post more, just because I thought his drunken rambling posts were hilarious at times. No where near as funny as Loss's drunken tirades on AIM, but funny none the less. Jack's a homey.

 

IllustriousOne - Josh is the main man. Fuck Lobo, Josh is the one who will fuck your day up. He'll fuck you up. He'll fuck up your dad. He'll fuck up your grandpa. He'll fuck your retarded little brother up. It doesn't matter, he'll fuckin end your male lineage line if you cross the him. He'll also fuck your girl in front of you. In the band hall. Yeah, that's right, the band hall. A band hall geek just flipped you and your bitch. Deal with it. This guy has handed down some of the most savage posting beatdowns ever administered to fuckwads stupid enough to piss him off. The venom this guy has spewed could melt steel. This guy will not take any shit from anyone if he doesn't like what he sees. I have the utmost respect and appreciate for this guy. I can't stress that enough here folks. Josh is like one of the Top 3 online folks I'd take a bullet for if someone decided to snuff'em. I don't care if we've never met in person. Josh's actions and words online have spoken for him as a person. Maybe he's really a huge introverted dork behind the computer screen, I don't know. But this guy is someone I'd offer the shirt off my back to if he ever needed it. No questions asked. He's one of the coolest guys I have *ever* and I mean *ever* encountered online. It's a pleasure for me to tell folks that I knew this guy when he was gheyin it up with Stevie B at WDI and the gPc. Josh is good people.

 

IndigoPleasure - Crystal is such a chick. You either like her or you want to bury her. Then again, which guy wouldn't??? All joking aside, Crystal, based on the conversations we've had on AIM, is good people. I mean that in the most anti-person sense. I've always thought she was a sweetie. She's a lover. She's a hater. She's a thriller. She's a killer. She can be really sweet and nurturing at times, which is endearing to me. I do not have a single bad word I could say about this lady. Terry is a lucky bastard to be with someone like Crystal since they'll probably grow old and gray together. I could see why he'd want to be with her. Plus, she's got really big ta-ta's and that's never a bad thing to swim in. Treat her good Terry and the same should go to the lady. I should have kept in touch with Crystal after she sent me the news about her and Terry's baby on board but I was too lazy and stupid to check out my e-mail regularly. I'm not good at keeping in touch with people. I think, based on what I've seen and read; Crystal will make a wonderful mom. She's already been brought up with crazy females in her family so she'll either turn the corner in that gene pool or else she?ll continue the trend or turn the kid gay or something. Terry seems like a good buffer for her and vice versa so I don't see the former happening. Maybe. Only time will really tell. Crystal is a good egg.

 

MyOwnSummer - CWM is someone who I don't deserve to know. He's too fuckin good for my ass. When I first met this guy, way back at WDI, I felt he got a bad rap, but not totally unwarranted, and I thought about who this guy reminded me of. Then it hit me. Me. Except, I was into waaaaaaaayyy more crap than he was by the age of 20 and did a lot more bone-headed things. But, I still thought this guy could be, really, a good person if he blocked out the bad influences (post whoring). He was his own worst enemy. He either tried too hard or tried too little to "right" things that he felt was wrong. Sometimes he was on the right path and sometimes he just fell completely off the fuckin road and fucked up something good he had going. He could also be a little drama queen at times too but it was misplaced anger over petty things moreso than him actually being a full-fledged queen. But, I watched him evolve as time went on. Soon, the bad influences started to appear like a thing of the past. Next thing you know, CWM is starting to sound like the voice of reason in retarded situations. CWM...voice of reason...just sounds funny. But not anymore. This guy has gone from post whore druggie, a homeless lumberjack, a message board pariah, and now he's a dad. If *anyone* has grown the most of the past 5 years within this circle of blokes (and misses'), it's CWM. Really. He's still around and posting. But his priorities are in check and he's got his head straightened on his shoulders now it would appear. Change...is not always a bad thing. Sometimes it can lead to straightening out someone like CWM and any growth in a positive manner is a plus in my book. The dude is also sorta cool. This is another guy, like Jack, who I could just see shooting the shit with all day or fuckin with our neighbors through the use of merc lawn gnomes. CWM has a posse. One of them is me. He's earned my respect. He's someone I consider a friend and has always gone out of his way to praise me when my name is brought up. He's also a guy I hold an open mind with when shit's going down because he's offered insight into situations I never saw before. CWM is good people and a wonderful friend. Thanks CDub.

 

teke184 - This guy was one of the top 5 posters at WDI whose posts I always looked forward to checking out in the wrestling folder. Him, Loss, the Masked Yodeler, ManInBlak, and MARTYEWR were the 5 guys who I thought, along with myself, *made* WDI worth reading in the Wrestling folder section. Teke still has a good handle on the wrestling world and was one of the few reasons I'd venture into the TSM WWE folder before I became a member of the staff there. Like Tom, he's someone who I share a lot of the same beliefs with and has always done a very, very, very good job of backing up his claims. Whether it's wrestling, sports, movies, music, video games or porno, this is a guy who you can shoot the shit with on a wide variety of topics. Teke also has the balls and pride to admit that he's a New Orleans Saints fan, which is something I'd keep hidden with a paper bag over my face if I attended their games. Then again, it's not like the Aints fans haven't done something like that before. Teke'd probably yell at the losers with bags on their heads going down the aisles with a horn while drunkeningly stumbling down the last flight of steps. Hey, he lives in Drunk County, population Louisianna so it's not like it'd be out of the question, no matter how reserved the guy acts. The last time we spoke, things were less than good between us over some stupid shit at TSM. I always enjoyed it when Teke and I had our USC vs. LSU discussions when both teams got hot a couple years ago. I have always admired Teke for his Shoot Tape Reviews work and he earned my respect with how he stopped doing them out of protest over the RF scandal. I've seen a lot of folks ask for his work to start back up again at different message boards but I wouldn't hold it against him if he did decide to go back doing shoot recaps. That was his bread and butter and his name *exploded* onto boards like the DVDVR and WrestlingClassics board once he had a copious workload done under his belt. This guy was getting SKeith like buzz, but perhaps not the same amount of feedback, but for a while there he was looking like hot shit at a time when most reviewers and recappers were going through the motions and pissing themselves silly over book deals. I hope that Teke doesn't hold any thing personally against me from TSM but I doubt it. I'm pretty sure that we're not going to be able to patch things up. I have and always will like Teke no matter what happens between us. He was a good friend and a wonderful mind for discussion. I wish him the best and hope to see him post here more often. Teke's one of the best around.

God damn. It's hard to just pick one quote for my sig.
