    For all the bitching about the place that you do, my friend, you've no problems spending all your days and nights posting here.

    I really wish i had the amount of free time that you do. Heh, you remind me of someone i once knew, who's social life revolved around wrestling forums.

    Best of luck to you. :)

    For those wondering about Ron killings
    Former TNA wrestler Ron Killings should be debuting on television next month. At last word, the creative team will let him use his "The Truth" nickname. It should be noted that he's been coming out to his old TNA theme music -- which he owns. He's been working dark matches & house show events since late March

    I never once said that ECW was doing well in the ratings rovert, stop manipulating what I'm saying. I meant that Punk is one of the few reasons people tuned in to watch ECW, regardless of howing small the audience is. The ratings will be even worse without Punk.

    They've lost one of their big rating pullers in Punk and now the very exciting Kingston. I hate to say it, but if they are expecting Miz, Morrison, and Matt Hardy (not his fault-terrible booking-joke that he'll lose that US Title to Chavo without one solid feud) they are mistaken.

    You yet to post factual evidence to back it up too.

    Yes to an extent.

    But the issue is jeffk cast aside The Wrestling Observer as malinformation. You he posts possibly made up news off the internet or at best a derrived for the Observer.

    Big ratings puller as in the ratings they get, he plays a big part in getting those ratings, regardless of the size of the audience.

    That was taken from ProWrestling.net, a site that has sources and no ads. But you use a site that has no sources and annoying ads!

    Punk leaving won't affect ECW that much. I think Matt Hardy is much more popular than him for one. As well as that, Punk will probably show up on ECW now and again anyway

    ECW's rating's are crap, but there are reasons why it has the figures that they have, small may they be. Why do you think people tune in to watch ECW if it's not to watch Punk?

    Just about to say the exact same thing myself..Hardy gets a big pop from the crowd all the time..Punk gets a few kids cheering..

    Miz and Morrison, and also its just an hour long so it doesnt take up 2 hours of your day with a snoozefest. Its 1 hour long which is perfect to show up and coming stars..Kingston, Sydal, Burke. etc..and this is what the few people tune in for

    I gotta agree here, Punk v Guerrero has been on week after week and is as stale as last months loaf! It reminds me of Benoit v Finlay week after week at the end of 2006, at first it was just awesomeness, and then got very boring very quickly. My problem with ECW is whereas it's a good breeding ground for new guys for TV exposure, they end up on it for way too long.

    That's fair enough and I agree that it's great to see the likes of Burke and Kingston perform.

    Pop ups and ads are easy blocked by various programmes nowadays,sure most browsers have it included or as a simple addon(well simple in firefox)

    Just because different people read differnet sites thats up to them.
    You wont see a indo reader roaring abuse @ some fella reading a sun on the dart will you?
    No but in a wrestling forum it seems to be acceptable to do something similar,just because its on the internet doesn't mean its not real people behind it.

    He's not wrong there, as far as examples of 3rd or 4th hand news from Meltzer pasted in and passing off as their own are nodq.com and rajah!

    I think rovert's point is why should you have to? Go to a different site that isn't riddled with adware and popup sh*te.

    Anyone who goes to sh*t sites again and again deserves to get their PC trashed anyway.

    You guys are gonna find this hard to believe, but i actually don't go to any wrestling sites anymore. Back in the hay day, i went occasionally to thesmarks.com (which migrated into the411.com when in turn, migrated into 411mania.com). I always took what they wrote with a big dose of salt though, mainly because although they sourced Meltzer, it was always their own spin on it (although isn't everyones?), which was fair enough, but it was no longer biased, so i gave up.

    Another reason i read was for spoilers. For years i didn't have sky sports, so i never knew what was going on and that was my only way of keeping up. I got the channels two years ago, so all spoiler reports were taken from my bookmarks and deleted. :)
