Hey, I’m Chris and this is the Omega MidNews.
Don’t get used to this.
Let’s go…
.
IN-DEPTH SMACKDOWN REPORT
Hmm, yes, Smackdown. It’s been so long since I’ve done anything on Thursday I damn well forgot there WAS a show!
Then there is the little newsbite that UPN is going to kill off Smackdown because Viacom head Leslie Moonves wants to take UPN in a bold, startling NEW direction… and Les rarely, if ever, likes to cater to the mouth-breathers that make up professional wrestling fans…
Yes, EVEN you marks!
So everyone is saying that Smackdown is on its way out and by God McMahon is in for it NOW!! SOME folks, dreaming against all dreams, are gently wondering if this means the end of the brand split and the BEGINNING of the re-merger… which would, of course, mean that 30 top notch stars, many of them most of you already whine about not getting enough air time, would be jockeying for SOME airtime on Raw against established stars and political veterans and managerial favorites. JBL, Hunter, Orton, ‘Tista, Angle, ‘Taker, Cena, Jericho, Divas, Big Show, Kane… you know, all the ones you HATE… (Jericho’s there because SOMEONE has to put these people over).
Why is it that some of you really want to extension to end? What… do you people even THINK? I mean, do you think a merger would mean less time for Heidenreich? No, it’s BENOIT who’d get f*cked over… MYSTERIO…
And the current net fave, Paul London… you wouldn’t be able to find him on WWE TV with four hands and a flashlight!
Anyway, so the big cancellation of Smackdown was top of the news for all the sites… then that sadistic weasel Dave Meltzer decided to f*ck with your heads with this cryptic post:
Smackdown hasn’t been canceled.!
Which sent EVERYONE into a speculative tailspin…
Well… it sent the message boards into a speculative tailspin… but among the major news sites a small pissing contest commenced…
The Torch’s Wade Keller simply REFUSED to let Meltzer play his little mind games and show him up… so he went on the offensive:
The Wrestling Observer’s Dave Meltzer is reporting that Smackdown is not cancelled and that the reporter from the newspaper misinterpretted a statement from Viacom president Leslie Moonves.
PWTorch.com, though, independently contacted an informed WWE source who confirmed Viacom’s expressed intent to discontinue Smackdown. “No surprise on our end,” says the source regarding Moonves’s comments. “It could be a little bit of posturing regarding negotiations since Smackdown is their no. 1 show and networks don’t normally want to cancel their top rated vehicles.”
While saying Smackdown has been “officially cancelled” may indeed be premature, there is no misinterpreting the comments of the man in charge of UPN saying that Smackdown “doesn’t fit into the overall programming strategy” for the network which logically means there isn’t intent to continue with the show beyond its current contract.
The story, though, has not been picked up any of the TV trade journals at this point and WWE has not released any statements officially regarding the matter, so there is ambiguity regarding the situation. As stated hours ago in the “VIP Keller Audio Update,” with more than a year left before a final decision will have to be made regarding Smackdown’s future, it is too soon to fully interpret the actual ramifications of Moonves’s position.
Which, of course, ruined Meltzer’s fun and made him enhance his statement:
Smackdown hasn’t been canceled. Both UPN and WWE sources have said any decisions have been made that it won’t be renewed when the current contract expires are false. This “story” was one reporter a week ago misinterpreting something. The story, which would have been heavily reported within the TV industry if true and well known immediately within wrestling circles, was from from several days ago, passed along on the net over the past two days, nearly a week after it was originally published. It was then repeated without being checked.
It should be noticed that PW Insider, as of this writing, has yet to weigh in on this. Dave Scherer must be at the gym… I’m sure he’s panting… and sweating… and guzzling Evian…. old fart.
BREAKING NEWS… during their silly ass Internet Radio show (where they spent a great amount of time discussing comic books and comic book movies… which does NOTHING to break ANY sort of stereotypes about the kind of people who do Internet Wrestling shows) Mike Johnson bragged about breaking this story first, then spent a good 5 minutes bitching at web sites for stealing the news MINUTES after he broke it.
Oh…. get…. a… LIFE!
So where are we? Easy… no matter what happens, UPN will honor it’s contract with the WWE, PLENTY of time for Vince to either convince them to re-sign or make new arrangements.
Yeah, Smackdown will stay where it is until SEPTEMBER 2006!!!!!!!!!! So… assholes…. PLEASE STOP EULOGIZING THE DAMN SHOW
Ugh…. you are all complete homos.
Smackdown is on TONIGHT! And Kurt Angle actually WRESTLES! But the real story will be whether Amy Weber will make any sort of facial expression… a smile, a sneer, ANYTHING. Poor thing, she’s waaaaay too young for the botox injections.
And her lips rival Stratus’s tits in terms of over-enhanced…
Other than that, she show looks bad… as in not good.
But the OTHER real story… which is a much missed segment among you kids…
WHO SPOILED THE SPOILERS FIRST!!
Every week, the race is on to see which sites post the Smackdown spoilers first… this is SERIOUS buysiness, people… net credibility IS on the line… NET CREDIBILITY!!! THE STAKES DON’T GET MUCH HIGHER THAN THIS!!!
TUESDAY January 26, 2005: 12:51 AM: Some nitwit named Henry Petty, who’s name CLEARLY lives up to his lifestyle, RUSHED the results to Dave Meltzer and the Observer… because Meltzer isn’t treated as God ENOUGH… oh no… we have saps like Hank Petty who actually RACES HOME to fire off the spoilers to the web! I bet Hank didn’t even take off his Ruck Fules cap when he got home…. no, he BASHED through the door and RUSHED to his computer! Probably waking up his parents in the process…. loser…. get AIDS.
MONDAY, YES, MONDAY, January 25, 2005: no time given: How cool is Inside Pulse? Well, we are SO COOL that we actually HAVE A TIME MACHINE and were able to go TO THE FUTURE and see Meltzer’s post and cut and paste and POST THE RESULTS ON MONDAY INSTEAD OF TUESDAY!! So while IP reporter Kurt Oste… something Jewish stole it from Meltzer, he actually POSTED IT FIRST!!
Don’t believe me? check the date!
We have a time machine? And I wasn’t informed? THE HELL, WIDRO!! WHY WASN’T I INFORMED??? DON’T YOU KNOW WHAT SORT OF SHIT WE CAN STIR WITH A TIME MACHINE????
TUESDAY January 26, 2005: no time given: 411’s Ashish openly and freely steals the spoilers from INSIDE PULSE!!! WE KNOW WHICH SITE ASHISH IS CONSTANTLY MONITORING FOR GUIDANCE AND INFLUENCE!!! Problem is, Ashish actually prefers SLEEP to getting the spoilers up so he didn’t get his in until that morning.
TUESDAY January 26, 2005: 08:30 AM: Dave Scherer stops beating on his fat wife (“I’m in the gym 3 days a week!” *slap* “I should be banging SUPERMODELS!!” *whap*) long enough to pop up spoilers from some chick named “Tiffany Livingston”. There is something morbidly WRONG with those old, wheezy, miserable farts at PWInsider having a reader named “Tiffany”…. are you reading this Tiffany? Are you hot? IM me at Hyatte1com! I’m Hyatte…. cooler than Buck Woodward! Ladies love me! Why are you wasting your time with Dave Scherer? He wears a POMPADOUR for crying out loud!!!
TUESDAY January 26, 2005: 09:10 AM: Not only did 1wrestling get their spoilers in a full 40 minutes AFTER PWInsider… and a full 9 hours after Meltzer… and a full DAY after Inside Pulse… but Joey Styles did it HIMSELF!
Styles credits Henry Petty… which means he was too ashamed to admit that he stole it from Scherer, so he stole it from Meltzer… Styles is a tool.
TUESDAY January 26, 2005: 01:24 PM: Oh dear… some things never change. Wade Keller, a man DESPERATE to be a major web presense… simply and utterly REFUSES to swallow his pride and steal the spoilers from other sites (“Other sites?”, sez Wade, “You mean there are other web sites other than THE TORCH??”) is forced to twiddle his balls and wait for some kind, sympathetic Torch reader to send him the spoilers… which Robert Rimmer eventually did… possibly out of pity.
Robert Rimmer… heh, I bet! Rimmer…. HAW! *COUGHhomoHACK*
But alas… Keller didn’t even come in last… oh no, THAT honor belongs to none other than THE LORDS OF PAIN who, as of Thurday morning at 2:12 am have YET to put up their spoilers. Looks like someone’s parents forgot to PAY THEIR INTERNET BILL!!!!!!!! LOOOOSERS!! LOOOOOOOOSERS!!!
Heh… Lords of Pain… they ain’t kidding either, they are the MASTERS at inflicting migraines on any unsuspecting sap who tries to read their columns! They even got a clone of ME, colorfully named “Dumass:, who had the bright idea to do Anger Fueled- Cynical column. In his last one he promised that in his next column he’s going to “something that no one in the IWC has ever done for a column (at least, not that I can remember); I’m going to speak directly to my fans.“
Yeah, no one EVER does that… oh no… no one.
And you don’t HAVE fans, you have READERS, you unoriginal f*ckhead.
Here’s a clue for all of you… when a writer wants to talk directly to his fans READERS, it means he officially thinks he is more interesting than the thing he’s talking about. I should know… it’s been my M.O. since…. forever.
Dumass is virtually unreadable… and a total fake, he isn’t that interesting.
So, to sum up… nothing has changed in the 4 months since I last examined who beat who in the spoilers… nothing…. not a thing.
Oh, except Inside Pulse has the ability to travel through time, and Widro is using this God-like power to beat everyone to the Smackdown spoilers!
And now for the main event… or the co-main event…
WRESTLEMANIA FOR THE UNEMPLOYED (PART 2)
So it was Sunday and there I was, cranking out the latest bit of mediocrity when I started doing a… *cough*…. report on the big to the Wrestle Reunion that’s happening this weekend.
And because I’ve got rage in me that would make a bear put on trousers just so he could shit in them, I started suggesting questions that anyone attending this thing could ask these people…
Then I looked at the website and got a look at all the names… all the people who would be attending… MAN… to suggest questions for all the names on the list would take up WAAAAAY too much column for the site, and you attention deficient creepos to handle…. so I decided to treat you to a second column… this one.
