[quote name='Zenithian Legend']The hell with co-creating it, count me in "for two"? I'd like to make a number of those documentaries chronicling what the hell is wrong with American society. It's the "stereo-typical" wrestling fans that Mike speaks of that sometimes makes me ashamed to be such a long-time fan myself. Now that the Monday Night Wars are over and wrestling's popularity has dwindled it's no longer trendy to be a wrestling fan and the previous perception (again as Mike detailed) has resurfaced fresh into the minds of the masses. The Benoit incident certainly didn't help either.
The last two shows I've went to were SD/ECW and WM23. SD/ECW had your typical jerk-off there wearing his championship spinner belt over his heavy gut, his long greasey hair and his clear lack of hygeine. He commented on almost every match and taunted the Miz by saying "You wouldn't last a week at
our wrestling school!" Ah... yes, not that I like the Miz, but I'm sure there's at least some reason why he's in the WWE and not training at
your school. WWE doesn't just let any regular sized idiot stay in the ring for long with zero ring ability, who knows what happened to the Boogeyman this time. My favorite part was when my girlfriend and I, along with the guys sitting next to us got him to spin his stupid spinner belt. The asshole thought he was the greatest thing in town and had no idea that people were making fun of him.
WM23 wasn't quite as bad, but there were plenty of people with their replica belts on. The best part is when two of those guys are wearing the same replica belt and end up having a staredown of sorts. That part *needs* to go on the documentary.
This could be great. I'd also like documentaries on people that voted for Bush, Wal-mart employees, Ted Nugent fans, college athletes that pinned their life on making the pros and then didn't, and people with an 8th grade education or lower.
k Hmm, upon further inspection, this may all be the same documentary. Either way, there's a reason why America is looked up as one of the dumbest countries in the world, these documentaries will delve into that.[/QUOTE]
Oh, I like the idea of a nerd-with-belt face off. That could even be the coverart!
Your description reminded me of the cat what sat in front of me at Cyber Sunday last year - he didn't have any teeth. He had these little emerald-colored things, either discolored gumline/rotted teeth, or something else. Imagine meth mouth on someone way too fat and unmotivated to smoke methamphetamine.
Dude was gettin' all Rainman on me. I know a lot, and I talk a lot (I'm sure you're shocked!), and I was having a discussion with someone sitting near me about some wrestler...Ken Dykstra, maybe? IIRC, they were still all Spirit Squad at the time. Anyway, I made some mention of Dykstra being very young, but not sure. "Oh, he's 20, or 22...real young" is what I said (roughly).
Suddenly, I hear this monotone blathering. "Ken Leon Dykstra was born September 18th, 1986 in Missoula, Montana, the son of a coal miner and housewife. He trained in Abe Vigoda's All-Star Wrestling in Peoria, Illinois, at age 15...blah, blah, blah." First, I was stunned that someone would know that kind of shit about any wrestler, let alone a nobody. Second, he said all this without looking up or making eye contact with anyone - like he was correcting me, but took little to no interest in whether or not anyone was paying attention. Third, he said it in that sort of disdainful way when someone says something very, very incorrect. Y'know, like if I said "Yeah, I think Triple H beat Magnum TA for the ECW championship in Rio De Janeiro in 1987, when Rugged Ronnie Garvin powerbombed Kevin Sullivan in a Junior division match." Instead, I was merely guessing the age range of a nobody wrestler (and was within 2-3 years!).
I did manage to stump the guy, and get a laff out of the people around me, when I asked him who Dykstra's third grade teacher was.
I need to buy a video camera now.
:lol:
Fatu.
