The Wrestling Thread

No longer will decisions be made behind the scenes and people party to the making of these decisions freely post knowingly on the public forum things directly contrary, or misleading, to deliberately inflame the situation and making modding extremely difficult at times and causing unecessary and unwanted aggravation on the site.

Things have gone too far, we are not all here to be one persons plaything.

This is the root of the problem - spot on, Sluffy.

Without going into too many specifics (because we'd be here all day), this is what I have been alluding to with my comments about the screenshots.

I was being told one thing by one of the site's owners via PM and then seeing the opposite sentiment being posted by "her" on the public forum.

And this caused me to believe that I was being played for a fool.

And this breeds mistrust and creates a sense that all this site really is, is a vehicle for one individual to get "her" kicks out of wumming people so that "she" can feel clever and superior.

And I came close to exposing this and that's why I got slapped with a ban.

There's more to it and I'm not going into it now, but rest assured, as Sluffy says, there's a lot more going on behind the scenes on here "politically" and if the people running the site all honestly want it to grow and develop, one of them needs to start playing with a straight bat and stop trying to stir up shit because "she" finds it amusing.

Right, it's a nice day, Mrs B's off work and we're going out.

Life's too short to waste it providing entertainment for some sad clown who gets "her" kicks out of playing God on the internet.

I've experienced a fair bit of what Bread is going on about in the past and it used to wind me up something rotten, then I though why the fuck am I getting wound up about an internet forum, I'm a grown man. 

now I just have a laugh with it. 

be happy people, progress2015.

There is a fundemental difference though this time in that it is one of the owners of the site that is causing all the major issues.

They have abused the trust in the site that people have to have for the site to work and for people to keep on coming back to it.

I won't go into the history except to say neither I nor the third site owner knew or even immagined this sort of behaviour would happen, indeed become endemic on the site.

People have been banned, threads removed and posts modded for no other reason than this person did not like them.  

That wasn't even the worst of it, they posted from a proliferation of fake accounts - even though the sites policy was not to have them - to use them as a vehicle to cause havoc - knowing that they could not be banned for doing so - even though any other member of the site would have.

The attitude was something along the lines that 'people come to this site because of 'me', its 'my' site, so I can do anything I want and you can't stop me'.

Well it wasn't his site, experience as proved that people DO come to the site (in the times they hes not been posting because of his occassional 'sulks') and I/we have stopped many of the excesses that have gone on here.

All his 'known' fake accounts (bar one that hasn't been used in ages) have been deleted - although its fairly obvious that he runs other fake accounts on here.

Rightly or wrongly I have always tried to keep everybody on board here - a bit of friction imo provides a bit of an edge to the site that all other forums don't have, and makes us more interesting and a little bit 'fun' place to be.

I still want everybody to remain but his actions last night were the final straw for me.

Up to now I have always honoured the other two founders wishes to remain anonymous.  

If the site is run fairly to all, who owns the site should be an irrelevance.  However, once again decisions were made in agreement behind the scenes, yet he posted contrary on the forum to create deliberate confrontation and aggravation for others to deal with, whilst 'hiding' behind his 'ownership' get out of jail free card.

Well that card as been stripped away from him now.

He has apologised behind the scenes for his behaviour last night and said that he won't post again for a couple of days.  He also said he sent pm's apologising to the three concerned last night.

It's up to the individuals to determine how honest and sincere he is.

For now he retains full admin/mod powers on the site.

My view for what it is worth is that the site is best with all posters on board.

I hope we can keep it that way too.

The site is for all of us - not just one mans plaything.

lets hope we can all move on from this including Nat, as even with all the aggro Nat is on the whole a great poster on here.

We do need to get away from people having more than one account though, it does undermine the whole point of a forum.

Undertaker is back. And he is wrestling brock lesnar at summerslam

Oh and every time kevin owens comes on the screen my 2 year old daughter shouts daddy on telly. She could have picked randy orton or something :/

This is kevin owens

They must really be struggling if undertaker is coming back. Jeeezus 

I saw Owens beat cena on YouTube and he was quite good. Not genuinely talent technically but entertaining.

owens does seem to have the gift of the gab, plus the power bomb finisher he has is quite good.  think back though and all the best "entertainers" weren't technically gifted and all the best technicians weren't the best entertaining wise.

it's good to have a mix

Bret hart was the best in every way. 

They will never find another talent like him.

but he didn't have a massive personality.

take someone like the rocks personality and mix it with bret harts technical skills and that would be the ultimate, but they are very few and far between.

It's like dean ambrose now, he's not the most gift technically, but he will put his body on the line and he has an edge to him.  same with mick foley when he wrestled.

Does that little thing dean ambrose do annoy aanyone else?  when he sling shots him self between the top two ropes and then clotheslines.  it's like a really shit 619

Can you not just put out a press release saying

"well......hes a different generation where you could say things like that when he was a lad......."

You know the one, everyone has to say it when their uncle or grandad says something they shouldnt

What is santa not fake anymore.

Wrestling has never been fixed

Surely this wasn't fixed.

No way was that fixed. It was a perfectly legal hold and submission.
