| #21 Posted on 14.6.07 1033.31 Reposted on: 14.6.14 1037.29 | I was at the taping in Philly. The funniest thing about the 10 bell salute was how during the commerical right after that, Justin Roberts got on the mic and pimped Sandman t-shirts. They had the t-shirt gun guy shoot some out to the crowd as well.
I just think its funny how it goes from "Lets all have a moment of silence for Mr McMahon" to "HEY, WHO WANTS SOME FREE T-SHIRTS?!". | BigDaddyLoco

It's not as bad as the Katie Vick story, or as insulting as the dead Eddie angles run after his death. It's just dumb and being that it's dumb hopefully it becomes a side story soon.

Big Show's daddy, and Al Wilson - those are the kind of death angles I can watch without feeling guilty for watching it.
I am honestly amazed by how many times I've seen someone say that re: Big Show's dad. People were shitting in their pants over that when it happened. Actual shit in their actual pants!
When they did the 10 bell salute just months after Owen died? Blasphemy! Bossman interrupting the funeral and driving off with the casket? Shameful! Now it's looked back on as this wildly camp over-the-top goofiness that didn't harm anyone. People in this thread didn't even remember his dad getting the 10 bells, that's how much it stuck with people.
Thus, I can't help but feel that the more offensive and tasteless things they do to get across Vince's death, the better remembered this angle will be in the future. Pull out all the stops. BRING IT ON. | chill

You know, your posts this week have sucked even more than usual. For you, I mean. It's just one post after another of suck ever since the ending of "The Sopranos" Sunday night and continuing straight on through into the wrestling that you barely even watch anymore. It's really quite extraordinary and I finally had to comment on it. SUCK.
Based on your well-established brilliance, your critique unquestionably means so much to me. How flattering that you keep tabs on a total stranger, let alone go out of your way to constantly look for ways to nitpick and belittle people you know nothing about. It takes someone with high self-confidence to feel the need to do that as often as you do, so thank you on behalf of everyone who reads your healthy diatribes and never thinks less of you for doing that.
And here's the point when you or one of your friends is predictable as ever and bans me for speaking back against the oh-holy-master. Clearly, we all come here to worship some fat fuck from Minnesota who thinks running a low-populated messageboard is something to puff out his chest about. History has shown you can't take what you dish out without silencing someone first and/or deleting their response to your bullshit because you can't take the embarrassment.
So watch me give two shits. I might be gone, but your problems aren't. Good luck with that oh mighty webmaster and decider. | ALL ORIGINAL POSTS IN THIS THREAD ARE NOW AVAILABLE |
