June 26, 200817 yr comment_5432449 I remember Tom saying that too, and it's perked my curiosity enough to research it, but I've yet to find anything.
June 26, 200817 yr comment_5432451 Travis Beaven who i think was working on a project with WWF at the time would mention it regularly. I'm pretty sure other folks referenced it as well. It jibes with what I know of comedy writers (unfortunately know several writers for Scrubs, Real Time, Futurama etc--don't remembere what folks were doing in the late nineties), and the way they riff is distinct from the way comedians or other folks riff. So no reason to question it when Cole's background mentioned.
June 26, 200817 yr comment_5432452 Didn't it turn out that Travis was completely insane and lied about everything?
June 26, 200817 yr comment_5432453 Travis wasn't completely insane. He was a guy who if you got into an argument with, he'd refuse facts and just make up facts to prove his own point. Jdw can probably say more. All of toa was filled with last word marks (again I think jdw will admit to his own guilt there) and some of those would get really nutty in their pursuit of last word.
June 26, 200817 yr comment_5432454 If Michael Cole was a writer for the Simpsons, don't you think he would have a writing credit on at least one Simpsons episode? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_writers_of_The_Simpsons There's no "Michael Cole" or "Sean Coulthard" listed there.
June 27, 200817 yr comment_5432480 The hot talk is that Deuce will reveal that he is officially Jimmy Snuka's son and will be Ted DiBiase Jr.'s partner on Sunday.
June 27, 200817 yr comment_5432481 I can't speak to this Travis guy's credibility, but I'm pretty sure Cole was never a comedy writer, and certainly not for "The Simpsons" (I know a couple guys over there). His style of riffing has never struck me as that of any room I've ever been in... he seems like what he most likely is, just a fairly funny guy with a journalism background.
June 28, 200817 yr comment_5432522 Didn't it turn out that Travis was completely insane and lied about everything? Being a member of the fWo, his internet wrestling fed that lasted for quite a while, we got to hear a lot of things. It was tough not to believe him since he did have some credibility (The fWo website once appeared in a Windows XP commercial) and a lot of things he claimed were believable (That the Microsoft X-Box controller, the original clunky fuck one, was designed in a 10 minute meeting). However, there were other stuff I remember him telling me that was just off the wall (Nintendo, after all the money they made on the Pokemon craze, were close to going out of business in 2002 and were begging Sony or Microsoft to buy them) and I just didn't believe it. That's just on the computer side of things, and its true he worked for Microsoft (now works for a Cell phone company of some type). I don't know how true Travis was when it came to him talking about the WWF, and he used to talk about it a lot, but I'm betting theres some truth to the things he talked about. If not, there were some entertaining fables. Travis wasn't completely insane. He was a guy who if you got into an argument with, he'd refuse facts and just make up facts to prove his own point. Jdw can probably say more. All of toa was filled with last word marks (again I think jdw will admit to his own guilt there) and some of those would get really nutty in their pursuit of last word. Ain't that the fucking truth. However, it made for a great place to read. Still is, just nowhere near it used to be.
