I got a bit of a bashing by a bunch of people when I was elected Notable. I couldn't understand why though. It's seems part for the course around these parts. Best to just put it all behind us and move on...

Well you KNOW i havent.. SO point?

Oh yeah to get your post count up. TSK!

Not been around very long then...

Well the thread got closed.. Never seen that happen before

oh of course ;)

Near enough every regular on the forum has probably been bad-mouthed by newbies at some point. The Noobs always lose in the end though. :P Well, apart from way back when I was a newbie. :D

Lucy - if you mean Tanoy mate don't worry, i think he's been reported by just about everyone for being a grade-A plank.

Sighs. Wonders what ive done to get some n00b bad mouthing me in general chat.

Yeah, I always have trouble getting some points across. To me, Benoit, Jericho, Angle, Eddie Guerrero and others are draws because I would pay to see them. Obviously, that doesn't always work out to the majority of fans.

I agree with most of what GP said, so this may seem like nit-picking but, I disagree with some of the above excerpt. Wrestlers shouldn't be pushed unless they can draw. I'm a huge fan of technical wrestlers like Benoit, but he's not the biggest draw and the WWE needs their champion to be a big draw, or it's not only bad for them, but for all the talented guys who toil away whether they be Main Event, Mid-card or fodder for Trips. It's easy to say these guys don't get pushed because they don't have the gimmicks, but did a stupid gimmick make Jamie Noble any more of a draw? No. It's also easy to say that these guys should be given the better gimmicks, but wrestling has proven over the years that what looks like an awful gimmick on paper (Eugene, Nova in ECW, The Original Undertaker) have eneded up being huge drawsfor their feds and gimmicks that have looked great on paper have fallen through the floor.
