Is there any chance you are doing something weird? Do you preview your threads before you post them? I'm trying to figure out where this might be caused... | TheBucsFan

I've never seen Keith claim to be impartial. In fact, I've seen him come right out several times and proclaim himself to be biased.
Seriously, if you hate the guy so much, why read his stuff? I mean, I hate Tommy Fierro. Guess what? I don't read his stuff. | Notorious F.A.B.

he has his moments though and his tape reviews are a great net wrestling resource. his efforts and crz's document nearly every minute of first run wwf / wcw programming for the past (mumble) years.
his japan tape review was cool. it's good to see him start to get into something he doesn't think is blithering idiocy. | JustinShapiro

If the nWo was responsible for two whole weeks of good ratings, you'd think they would've moved them in the four weeks before Mania but they didn't bump them at all. | Busyman14

Let's see. The nWo did NOT bump the ratings up. The ratings remained stagnent. Hogan did bump the ratings up a bit after Wrestlemania, but the true test of the ratings will come in the next week with the first week of the split.
I have no problem with Austin's behavior...keep in mind he's not the only one not happy with the nWo.

Reposted on: 31.3.09 1459.02 | Uh....huh. He's the only one not happy with the nWo. And...who else is not happy with th nWo? Who else do you see refusing to work with them, sitting out TV and house shows, and generally being an ass? I mean, come ON, this is basic hypocrisy! The guy is behaving in a completely unproffesional manner, and NO-ONE has a problem with it! What the Hell is going on?!
I'll give you that the ratings weren't spiked immediately upon the nWo's return. But they've certainly been a key part in the recent upswing. I'm not proclaiming them to be the saviours of the WWF, but at least they've made SOME difference. But tell me, please, tell me, if, say, The Undertaker decided he wanted to change the outcome of his match and ruin a storyline, THEN sit out for two weeks, you guys wouldn't be ALL OVER it? I know Keith would. And I know many, many people on this board would be too. Austin may be a great wrestler who's made a tremendous comeback, but he's not above the same rules that everyone else has to follow.
And let's not kid ourselves here. Austin's not sitting out "for the good of the WWF", he's sitting out because he doessn't like how HE'S been handled, and how HIS moneymaking may be affected by these changes. And that's another thing that bugged me about Keith's rant-this idea that Austin is some God whom the WWF is blaspheming against by ignoring his sage advice.
Yes, I'm rambling. Too much coffee...

Reposted on: 31.3.09 1508.14 | It doesn't matter if they are making a difference in the ratings or not. The bottom line is that Austin was asked to participate in an angle, he refused, and people are willing to overlook it despite hating guys like Nash, Hogan, etc in the past he refused to do what was asked of them.
People say Austin hasn't been selfish before, this is his first time doing this, blah blah blah. It's easy to not be selfish and to do what is asked of you when you are booked in a position to look like the baddest son of a bitch on Earth for four years.

Considering that Vince, Steph, and HHH were the only guys who wanted to bring them in, and considering that Hall rubbed everyone the wrong way his first night in the company, and considering there are so many people on the roster who were in the WWF in 1995 or in WCW from 97-01, I'd say a whole lot of people.
"It's easy to not be selfish and to do what is asked of you when you are booked in a position to look like the baddest son of a bitch on Earth for four years."
Yeah I know, like when he was singing songs or crying.
"Steve Austin- Hulk Hogan 2K2"
Please excuse Austin for refusing to put over the young talent like Hogan, Hall, and Nash in lieu of working with the old guard of Rock, Angle, Jericho, and Benoit (who was pencilled in as Austin's WM opponent had he been able to return in time).
Oh no not here too.

Yeah, but you can't name any names. Until someone steps forward like Bob Holly did in that interview, all of this hearsay is meaningless. Besides, I highly doubt that say...Jericho would refuse a program with the nWo if he were slated for it.

I named practically every name except Vince, Steph, and Hunter.
Chris Jericho. Chris Benoit. Kurt Angle. Bradshaw. Booker T. Etc. Etc. Etc.
"all of this hearsay is meaningless"
I know, it was a very popular decision in the locker room to bring them in and Austin is jealous. | probleus

I have one from beloved Meltzer protege Bryan Alvarez.
But I've been having this argument with 80 different people 80 different times so I think I'm just going to concede and say, yes, Austin is the cancer who won't put over Scott Hall. Do I think he should have gone home? No, but this stuff about Austin as the new Hogan, holding down the nWo is the lamest thing I've ever heard. | probleus

Yes! I'm in complete agreement with this sentiment. Austin shouldn't have to job to Scott Hall on the biggest show of the year, but he should have been more professional in voicing his displeasure with his current (lack of) direction. Just because Austin is fed up with management, doesn't mean that the entire locker room wants the nWo fired. And Alvarez doesn't count :p | oldschoolhero

Reposted on: 2.4.09 1126.05 | My point exactly. Others may be upset with the nWo (really it's all hearsay) but at least they've actually been professional about it. It just pisses me off that the man has sat out and sulked for two weeks and people act like it's the RIGHT tihng for business. Obviously he's not the new Hogan (Austin can WORK), but just because he doesn't pull this shit all the time doesn't mean it's okay to do it at all. Yes, that sentence barely makes sense.
And to be honest I would be more annoyed if I were someone like, say, Edge, who has spent the last three years working his way up only to be denied a main event slot thanks to the nWo's arrival.
