chris won't post my columns any more, so I'll just put them here. Read them or don't. I don't even care if five million of you think it sucks, cuz I'm sure there is one, if but one person who enjoys wading through my crappe.

... TIL IT'S RAW
Hi. I thought I would be so creative and call my third slash opinion piece 't.i.r.', but then I saw Tommy Dreamer with a shirt where those were the last three words, so I guess that makes it less original and more official. So here is some more of my calling the shots while turning it down for the phone calls.
Didn't Bradshaw used to play football? Now, he's just all flabby and such, like probably all of the kids I looked up to in high school will be at our 10th year reunion. I was really sad to see Stevie Richards lose the Hardcore title. Richards is a man, much like Storm, who deserves a huge push... well, let's give it another few more years. I was also not so psyched to see Just Incredible come out, nor Craesh. Maybe Justin can have a feud with X-Pac. Yay. I liked X-Pac's bitter attitude and such. But back to Richards. Didn't he used to give speeches while the Recon Squad went out and fought? I seem to remember him giving a long speech when one of his army guys wrestled and lost to I believe Steve Blackman; it was the other bald guy... not Bull Buchanan, nor Kurrgan.
Gold dust delivered a funny promo again.. although I would rather see him as that cowboy guy he was near the WCW's demise, but I guess no one who watched just WWE would recognise him. I have to give props to Dustin because he did one of my favorite oldskool moves ever: the back rake. I love old school wrasslin'--rest holds, matches that take 5 minutes of trash talking to actually begin, the whole slowing pushing the other guy toward the ropes, looking away, and then slapping him in the face. It was always soooo predictable, but I loved every second of it. It was cool to see Booker pull a win... it seemed like that hadn't happened in a long time. Also, I was so relieved to see Eddie beat RVD instead of Brock beating Buhbuh. I was so heartbroken to learn that my fav Bubba lost to newcomer Brock.. although it did seem funny to see Brock crawling to Eddie for help, since Brock is just so big, and it didn't seem like he would need any help. Also, what was up with that crazy dance he did when he got into the ring? It was kind of hypnotic, but also really weird.
RVD was so cool in his promo. It's funny, cuz I thought he was supposed to get mad, but instead he started putting in advertising spots. And then the best was when he said something really funny and Brock started laughing, but he struggled to turn it into a snarl. I think it's funny that RVD is on the cover of the new video game Legends of Wrestling, since even though RVD has been around for friggin forever, most don't think of him as an old school legend, like we might think of say, krusher kruschiev, nikolai volkoff or bruno samartino.
Definitely my fav moment of the night was at the beginning when Austin was doing the puppeteer thing with Arney.. Arn just rolls his eyes in this funny way, it was like 'am i knocked out or not?'. And then... he squirted mustard on him!!! Disgharstioung!!! And he looked all cute when he was upset later on, and then Benoit said "irony"! Amazing! He's not so brutish after all, he's a real acadamian.
It was funny because Tommy Dreamer is much bigger and more experienced than young Randy Orton, but he definitely got squashed in his match vs Taker, whereas Randy was doing all sorts of wonder moves back on Smacedeen. I realized that it made sense, though. Taker was going awfully easy on Orton, so no wonder he took advantage of that, whereas Tommy D angered taker by wiping his spit in his face. Hey, did anyone else get a flashback to Henry O. Godwin when Dreamer came out with that slop bucket? Cuz I sure did. I was about as excited as I get over taker when he pulled out his new finisher, the TCB (taker-care-of-business). I haven't watched WWETV in a long time, but it appeared to me that the last time he had used that move was on the match with the big show that hurt his back.
I thought Jeff Hardy was being given time off? I love watching Hardy Boys promos because they are like watching a jr high/high school talent show where kids are forced to speak in front of the crowd. But it comes off as really entertaining.. more so than when vince or hogan speaks, so props to them. I love how Jeff's "crazy" turn is to do a run-in, the most overplayed event in wrestling history. Maybe Taker will then 'do something that injures Jeff greatly' and takes him out for the amount of time he was supposed to be out for.
I fear for Fleihr whenever he takes a hit. I guess I shouldn't, cuz he is pretty experienced at this, plus I just gotta remember that his skin is made out of rubber. I think Flair and Regal should be involved in a feud, because Regal's body will probably resemble Flair's in just a few more years... yay. I never thought I'd say this, but Stephanie could take some acting lessons from Debra. Sure, Deb's not so great at that speaking thing, but she kept her screen time short and sweet, so it was just enough to be appreciated. Nice job, Debby!
Were you excited to see Shawn Michaels back? Speaking of backs, isn't his all gimpy, not allowing him to wrestle? For a moment, my heart sank because I thought the big screen was spelling out "HHH", but thankfully it said "HBK" instead. I was all, look, it's Shawnie, back with his old body guard, Diesel (no not GJ). Put this one back in the "early nineties being rehashed" file.
alright, that's all for now. after the show, I went back to playing the video game I had rented. When the gigantic ant started crawling up my arm, I realized it was probably time to go upstairs, write this quality piece and call it a night. Unfortunately "BEAT LA-BEAT LA-BEAT LA" did not work out, but it was an extremely action packed and exciting game.. my heart was beating throughout the fourth quarter and into overtime, and I feel I bonded a bit with my dad as we watched it together. good-night!!

Well, I didn't wade through it. Is there a reason CRZ isn't posting your column any longer? My experience has been that he'll post just about everything he gets, so......
He's Rolie Polie Olie - and in his world of curves and curls, he's the swellest kid around.
No, those really were his words (* sob, sob *). btw, if this is the wrong forum, then which forum SHOULD I post this in? And don't say none, or else I'll give you more thumbs in the eye than Rick Flair did to SCSA (how many was that, JR??).
And CRZ did suggest I post it to the message board, so he probably won't be that surprised to see it here.
well since you're not bashing any site, I'd say it's a fair bet that this is the wrong forum. I would have put it in either the Wrestling one or maybe Guest Column Feedback.

Theoretically he is bashing the slash so i could see how it works.
nah, I like slash por lo general, but I just don't like being pissed on. Nor having mustard squirted on me when I am supposedly half consious, then saying such things as "I smell awful. I can't wait to go pee while the toilets are being cleaned. Boy, that would just be so mean." (*not an exact quote)
No one's pissing on you, dude. It's CRZ's site, and he's not obliged to publish anybody's material. Besides, your column is more suited to the message board. It's more a "RAW thoughts" thread than an opinion piece. There's nothing wrong with posting your RAW thoughts, I just think it fits better in this forum. (By which I mean the messageboard in general, and not the main page).
I believe I may be chasing an untamed ornithoid without cause.
Thanks, guy, although I really have that all figured out by now. See, if CRZ had said what he said to me in the manner you just said it to me, I wouldn't be all upset and pissed in the first place, but hey, I guess the world just isn't perfect.
I dunno, I just thought I'd put something, and for once, I decided not to advertise my own webpage or internet radio show. I wrote "bling", since rappers are often talking about how rich they are, and how the diamonds they wear around their wrists and necks often glimmer in the sun, "blinging", as it were.
I wrote "bleep", as that is a sound I often hear on my spaceship when I am flying through the outer realms of the Milky Way. I wrote the two of them together to analyze the similarness of the two sides of my life; the one being the hip hop side, and the other being the fantasy/sci fi side. So completely different, and yet quite similar.
