Because you can get great late-breaking news like this.
(By the way this was taken from 411wrestling.com, but I imagine they copied it from 1wrestling and they give credit to 1Bob.)
Excess Format Change
The WWF is considering once again changing the format of Excess. The show currently recaps RAW & Smackdown. No word on what the new format being considered would be like, but it could be a radical change.

A radical change? The only thing that would be radical on that show is if they showed wrestling or if they killed off the show. Other than that it will still be the same old Excess.
But thank you 1Bob, my life can go on now that I know that Excess could undergo a "radical change."
Sounds like Shannon Rose, the weekend "news reporter" at scoopswrestling (back when it was still alive). A typical news bit from him would be:
"The Rock may undergo a gimmick change soon as WWF management wants him to go in a new direction."
Now, take "The Rock" out, replace it with the name of just about any WWF superstar that was on RAW that week. Repeat this 5 or 6 times, change the wording a bit each time, and you've got half of his weekend news report every week.
Most of the rest of his column was devoted to pimping the other website he wrote for (I think it was iwrestling.com). I never read his stuff on the other site, but seeing as how Rose saw fit to replace ALL commas, colons, and semicolons with the word "as", I doubt I missed out on anything worth reading.
Given that most of the free sites offer news from 1Bob (rajah, tpww), and others tend to not be so bitter/negative as 1bob (like Jay Bower). So personally, I don't see the point of paying for it.
"The ability to think does not make one intelligent".
Come to think of it, when's the last time you've seen a wrestling Hotline (i.e. 95 cents a minute...kids ask your parents first) being advertised? Looks like the news boards put that out of business.
As a followup to El Nastio's note..yeah must have been the Mean Gene days...haven't seen anything since the acquisition.

Mozilla is my friend becuase it lets me disable popups that I don't request, you know, the really annoying ones that are loaded by a page when it loads. Course, the reason it's on is because of sites like 1wrestling. I got no problem with 1 or even 2 popups... but 4 to 20 is excessive.
