They have practically no angles and it's a lot of guys having matches against other guys for the fun of it. <br /><br />Given all that, you can still hate it.

I'll be the guy who defends the crucifix angle till I die but what Jack did was uncalled for. You have to protect your opponent to some extent and Jack nearly killed him.<br /><br />Not sure who were referring to as only being in wrestling for a year though...

Yes, as the "veteran" (who had been in the business all of a whole year at that point) he should have backed off when he saw how much juice the fatso had gotten. But it was ECW and people bled all the time. If the kid had actually been a trained, knowledgeable wrestler he might have known not to let someone else blade him because it never goes well. I just dont get how he's made out to be some tragic victim. If you drove your car onto the track at Daytona and got in a wreck you wouldn't blame Kasey Kahne for killing you, so why is it different here?Big Dirty Murphnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-70103878909550036702015-02-27T20:05:20.398-07:002015-02-27T20:05:20.398-07:00That triple threat match is fucking AWFUL.That triple threat match is fucking AWFUL.Adam "Colorado" Currynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-58188638804450358222015-02-27T18:41:12.628-07:002015-02-27T18:41:12.628-07:00Me too, and it depresses the fuck out of me.Me too, and it depresses the fuck out of me."The" Elmo Machetehttp://www.elmomachete.tumblr.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-34344935257494320552015-02-27T18:40:15.332-07:002015-02-27T18:40:15.332-07:00Balls was the "world champion" of my loc...Balls was the "world champion" of my local indie fed, and I was amazed at what he could actually do."The" Elmo Machetehttp://www.elmomachete.tumblr.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-81399270872520921182015-02-27T18:36:46.164-07:002015-02-27T18:36:46.164-07:00Well that's assuming Shawn forced Vince to cha...Well that's assuming Shawn forced Vince to change the finish, which is just one of those things Bret and the internet say. I don't see anything wrong with One Night Stand still. I didn't say how Shawn acted was professional in 2005, I said he didn't care about politics.
