I really do
not like the term “trolling” because to me the term trolling seems to be
someone online or social media that if anyone disagrees with someone they are
trolling everyone maybe I do not understand the term and what it truly means but in my mind it is anyone who disagrees with someone they are accused of trolling but
that could be anyone who disagrees with someone so that could be anyone. If that is not what the term means please
explain it to me.
I am not interested
in conflict or trying to proof I am right about anything and I think that is
what the internet well not so much the internet but more specifically social
media is set up to do. It truly makes no
sense to me anyone can make the most innocuous statement on social media and be flamed
by it and since I do not see social media going anywhere all of this will just continue
what is it going to take for God to get our attention? Because clearly social media has been a failure
smart phones have been a failure and so again what is it going to take for God
to get our attention? I mean that literally
think about how we treat people on a daily basis there is some wrong and there
has to be a breaking point.
When I started this I was not really sure what I wanted to do. I had ideas opinions and pitches but I still was not really sure how to put what I wanted to do together. I do not think those doubts ever go away. I am more comfortable writing my opinions and observations and I was fortunate because I wrote about trivial fun stuff where no one can really argue about a person’s taste in music for example: all that person could say is I disagree what about this musician or band? But when it comes to politics religion and more importantly faith that is extremely diffcult to break down. The reason I do not think right and wrong are objective with faith I tried to not preach or give sermons I tried to write about faith by writing about it as a normal person would with all my vulnerabilities confusion and everything else that goes along with having faith. The biggest mistake people of faith make they put minsters on pedestals not recognizing that minsters are only human like everyone else they do not have some secret knowledge and their prayers do not get their faster than anyone else’s. The only difference between people that go into ministry feel that they have a calling to go into the ministry. My main point about Christianity there is a difference between religion and having Jesus Christ in your life. People get confused when people refer to a relationship with Jesus Christ all that means to me is inviting the holy spirit into your heart. I really try to reflect a lot on the things that are the most important it is sometimes diffcult to do that with all the noise and a lot of life is noise I really value silence and reflection. For example: when someone says on social media I like nice weather and someone will get offended and write I hope you get "ass cancer and die". I wonder what is wrong with us? That is what we should be reflecting I am not a fan of social media I am a big 1st amendment guy but I really think all social media does is bring the absolute worst in people. I think there is a ton of distractions in this world and what I mean by that are the distractions of social media and think about how we are now as: a so called society all social media does is pass judgement it is all judgement! For example: is this person a racist or an anti semt? that is all it is daily. People get so caught up in judging everything everyone does and mental health experts are wondering what is different why is there so much anxiety out there with the youth? It is all of the judgmental society where everyone is scared to say anything to anyone because there are so petrified of the judgement and backlash they will receive. Keep this in mind: also mental health experts society did not have social media and smart phones in the past. I am not putting all the blame on this new technology because they said the same thing about television and radio but the difference: they did not have access to it all the time. I am not suggesting to get rid of distractions and escapes because everyone needs fun and an escape otherwise they will go insane but what I am suggesting is to keep everything in prospective and to realize we are not living forever and to realize how precarious life is in other words: keep in mind the big picture for example: if a family member gets ill everything else is not so important anymore. Let me try to explain this in context: DR. David Jeremiah said something similar to this in one of his sermons to what I am about to write and hopefully by writing this I will understand this more because I am trying to make it make sense and I hope to find it again. That if we are Christians, we are not of this world we are foreigners in a foreign country that is why the world and where it is going makes less and less sense all the time because Christians were not built for this world Christans were built for heaven but that does not mean we should abandon this world but Christans should not conform to this world. It has nothing to do with being young or old it has to do with heaven being our eternal home. For example: I have heard an older person say I am glad that I am old because this world makes no sense to me it makes no sense to ether. That is just a fact. In the book of Ecclesiastes Solomon who is the wised person who ever lived and his whole goal in Ecclesiastes is to find the meaning of life but he comes to the realization that with out God life has no absolute meaning. Dennis Prager puts it a couple of different ways "if there is no God life is basically a joke we are here for minority of time and then we die". Or Dennis puts it this way without God there is no wisdom". I think this is one of the most important aspects that MR. Prager has stated "knowing the consequences of not believing in God is more important then just believing in God". Or to sort of put a secular spin on this which I did not think I would do the importance of knowing the consequences of not leading a religious life.
One of the aspects I hope to clear up is not judging people by what they have said in private the most famous example: the President Trump Access Hollywood tape where he made an off-color joke about what women will allow a famous person to get away with that a non-famous person could not. Now it is gross to say that but in context it was a joke. I really do not think anyone’s character can be judged by private talk. There is no one alive that has not said something that if it was recorded and broadcasted to the rest of the world that could not be made to look like a bad person. One of the points of private talk is to vent is to say gross things and silly things. To get back to my example: would Donald Trump have made those comments if he knew he was being recorded? Of course not! There is a big difference between what people say privately versus what they say publicly it is immaturity to judge people by what they say privately. If we do that everyone is guilty because no one has not said something that could not potentially make them look like a bad person that person does not exist. As a society we are in huge trouble if we are judging people by what they have said privately. Maybe judge a person’s character not by what they say in private but by their actions.
I think this is an important distinction or example: when Christine Jarrett the mother of Jerry and grandmother of Jeff Jarrett was the ticket holder for Memphis rassin in the 1950s she wanted people to respect professional wrestling because she was respectful of their business. That the television stations may not like professional wrestling but she wanted them to be respectful of it. Fans may say I do not like the style of Memphis rastlin but again that is not the point to suggest like Dave Meltzer that Memphis was not a hot territory is foolish. Look at those huge houses that were drawn inside the Mid-South Coliseum every Monday night it was a hot territory it was even hot in the 1950s when Christine Jarrett was a ticket taker. Again that is not the point it is not about liking the style of Memphis rastlin it is about acknowledging their success. Memphis rastlin brought many of those fans in Memphis together it was a great pastime for them. There were elements of Memphis rastlin that I did not like but others I did. I certainly prefer the Memphis rastlin philosophy over the WWE’s philosophy and many of the fans today known as smart marks or “smarts”. One of the things Christine Jarrett did there was a newscast about the Memphis territory that was downplaying the success of it that it was obviously “fake and made halfway fun of the fans. This is the absolute best part a year or two later the same news crew knocked on the door at the building and Christine told them you are not welcomed here please turn around and leave. They were astonished that she did not want them in her building because they were like but we are going to give you publicity and she said the last time you were here you did a story on the 6:00 o’clock news that my business was phony that the people who paid were not the best kind of people and you’re not welcomed here please turn around and leave. She also said look at all the fans in my building why do we need your kind of publicity? That is what I wish would happen today. The point is Christine Jarrett wanted everyone to just be respectful of her business. Side Note: the Memphis territory did not just reach Memphis but different parts around Tennessee and Kentucky.
I am glad
that Galloways and Anderson returned this past Monday night to the WWE and rejoining
AJ Styles I have always thought that the WWE is the best system for both
Galloways and Anderson. Not that they
were not successful in AEW or Impact Wrestling as “The Good Brothers” but I
just believe they are a best fit for the WWE mechiche. If there are musicans and bands that I like
I will try to write about them wheather they are well known or not that does
not matter to me. The only thing that matters
to me is wheather I like them or not. I
have written about: Aerosmith the
Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin I feel as if I am doing my own Eddie Trunk
impression. I greatly respect Eddie for
keeping and preserving hard rock and heavy metal or music in general that he
loves alive. That is what I have tried to accomplish this
music is a go to for me when I need comfort or an escape. Which is definitely a need especially with
the craziness and unknowiness these past 2 years. Hobbies are not a bad thing they are a need
in troubling times but God is ultimately in control even though so much of what
happens in life makes no sense to me.
But it is not for us to know. I
also have admiration for Lynn Hoffman who was a VJ on VH1 Classic and Private Sessions
on A and E I am a huge fan. So whatever
I can do to preserve music that I love I will do my best to let those who are interested
in the music that I love. I would still
like to send my best to insane pitchman and former TNA/Impact Wrestling announcer
Don West I am really still hoping the absolute best for you I respect both your
passion for whatever you were selling or your passion for professional wrestling
most importantly I can sense your kindness.
I hope that if Brian Cage goes back to WWE and if he does he must be The Mechiche. He really has not done anything in AEW he did some stuff with Team Taz and was the FTW champion but otherwise I think if he wants to have a run in the WWE he should do it. Also the WWE should bring in his wife Melissa Santos. But Brian only should do it if he is allowed to be The Mechiche otherwise he should not pursue it. There are AEW fans who want the WWE to go away and they can like AEW but I do not think they have thought through what would happened because the WWE fuels the industry. I am not even suggesting they should be WWE fans but no fan should want the WWE to go away. I feel sorry for AEW in some respects but at the same time the company has caused a lot of their own problems because the company has only appealed to the "smart marks" which will always be there. If AEW wants to only appeal to the "smart marks" then the company has accomplished their goal. What Triple H and the WWE have always done is appeal to the causal fan who like wrestling but they do not go on the internet they are not trying to figure out what is real and what is not they just want to be entertained and that is has as their fandom goes. So if a causal fan of the WWE comes across AEW one night they more than likely will be confused by the promos and the in-ring because AEW has always brought up rumors and the things on line during promos: such as: pipe bombs babyfaces and characters and winking at the audience which is confessing and a turn off to the causal WWE fans but the "smart marks" eat it up. The differences: between the WWE and AEW right now are: Triple H and the WWE will always try to appeal to the causal fan because he realizes that the "smart marks will always be there but with AEW and Tony Khan and the company will only appeal to the "smart marks" with smart mark booking and in my opinion their audience will not grow unless the company tries to appeal to not just the "smart marks who already love their product they have try to appeal to the general WWE audience that does not care what is real and not they just want to be entertained which is something that has been lost.
There are positives
aspects to the modern professional wrestling business such as: time away for
injures and concussions and just time off in general. Also there really is not a wrestling war
between the companies anymore which was discussed on Squared Circle Psychobabble
hosted: by Ralph and Micheal Valente.
Which is a great podcast because they both give their opinions and prospectives
without trying to be experts which has ruined a lot of this pastime for me. They both come off as: fans. What
I mean by an expert there is only one opinion and prospective allowed. They were talking about how fans created
this wrestling war but there really is not one because talent in AEW congratulate
talent in WWE and vice versa so those are positives.
I think the
best way for me to summarize this if a talent has a promo memorized or written out
they are not reacting because they are not listening to the crowd or their opponent
they are acting because they are trying to remember what they wanted to
say. The audience can sense this and
are not going to react in the way the talents may have intended. I know that talent have to do what the
person who is writing the checks tells them to do but if the talent does not
believe what they are saying the audience will not believe it either. It is about learning how to project and reacting
to both the audience and their opponents.
I think fans
of professional wrestling want what they are seeing to be real or they want to
be drawn in by it. Why else do fans talk
about and get excited about a so called “shoot” promo because they are not used to
it? But the so called “smart marks”
will not admit that. That is why talent when they go to the ring they must believe what they are saying which I know is not easy
because the events are usually live and they only get one shot. I think in professional wrestling the promos
are more important than the in-ring performances because the promos are what
give fans a reason to care. In the
history of the business the talent who drew the most money was not always the
best bell to bell in ring performers. I
have absolutely no problem calling myself a mark instead of a fan because the
term mark goes all the way back to not just professional wrestling but carnivals
circuses and fairs. My philosophy of
professional wrestling that the talent are not characters I am not suggesting that they should
act the exact same way when they are performing remember it is a light that
goes on and when the light goes off so does their projecting and reacting. Thank you Jim Cornete for your column: Character
Actors for giving me a completely different prospective on what this has always intended
to be. I have the up most respect for
Jim Cornete.
Here is the thing about me I never have claimed to be an expert on professional wrestling I never have tried nor do I want to be an “expert” I have my opinions and observations. I am not trying to hurt this art-form nor have I tried to take the fun of this I know professional wrestling is entertainment. But I still do not think any professional wrestler who ever drew money or connected with the fans and was serious about the business ever played a character in fact no professional wrestler should ever view what they are doing the exact same way as: playing a “character" in a movie play TV show or any other form of entertainment. Every professional wrestler should view what they are doing as: projecting or reacting to as a light that goes on and when that light goes on they magnify their personalities to the absolute maximum. An example: Eddie Guerrero when that light went on Eddie was charismatic and he was magic. But when that camera went off so did his projecting or persona. This art-form is similar to theater but the distinction between theater and professional wrestling people who watch a play accept that the participants in a play are playing a part but the fans view the talent in professional wrestling that is who they are. I am not suggesting that professional wrestlers should stay in “character” they should only magnify their personas when the light goes on. My goal has been to try and preserve what professional wrestling was indented to be which I fear has been lost by the performers in the business and by many of the agents who just accept that this is the evolution of the business I understand that things change but the fundamentals never change those fundamentals need to be passed down otherwise there is absolutely no reason to do this.
I really would like to thank everyone who checks this blog out I am not really sure how to classify what this project is but I know it is something I hope anyone who checks this out and enjoys it and if not I am sorry I wasted your time. I just want people who enjoy this to read it I am extremally grateful to everyone who enjoys this. I hope everyone gets some benefit out of this but if not please: do not feel obligated to read it
When I have written
“Stay Hard Stay Heavy I truly mean it because it one of those aspects that keep
me alive in this regard I am referring to music hard rock or heavy metal. Even though in doing this project I have discovered
what I like is harder rock and not metal it is that frequency that ignites you
and will never leave once it is there as Kip Winger stated. So when I say “Stay Hard Stay Heavy because
I have no choice I mean it maybe that is good maybe that is bad but I have tried
to keep it postive. There are a lot of
dangers associated with internet but one that really bothers me is the notion
of wanting someone to fail because for me if I do not like something I move on
I do not focus on it. But there are so many
people who come out of the woodwork to gloat about how happy they are if
someone they do not even know most of the time fails. If people are not well adjusted that will continue
to affect them in a negative way I know many will say what is the big deal about
what strangers say? I understand that
but if those people are fragile and their psyche is affected that is why it
matters when people take everything they read to heart. It is easy to do so anyone who says it is
not a big issue they have never been in that situation because people are
basically assholes anyone who thinks human nature is basically good have never
thought though the issue because if they do only for a moment will realize that
is not the case or they are just naïve.
I am not sure how to cover professional wrestling just as a fan any other
way then a “shoot" I have never considered myself to be an expert I am just a
fan not to discount myself but I think a lot of those who clam to be experts
they lose a lot of the fun and excitement.
But again all of this is subjective so fans or experts can do what they
wish this should be an escape. I do not
care much like hard rock it should be authentic to the way you feel. A shoot in this case is treating the genre as
an athletic contest or a simulated conflict not a sport. But that everything that happens is not planned
but authentic. In other words no one
turns or becomes something it just happens organically. What is wrong with that? If someone buys into a movie or a play no
one bats an eye but if a fan buys into a story there is something wrong with that! Well it is like this I buy into while I am
watching and engaged into it and then I move on with my life. These have been the times of my life and I would
like to preserve what I love for others.
But again there is no wrong way to enjoy this. I do not understand this mentality of this group of fans are out of touch or these fans are not welcomed because they like this style or prefer this way to view the product that really turns fans away from a product. Any kind of entertainment fans are going to prefer other things over other asspects that does not make them wrong that is just a different preference. But because we have so called "experts" of the business who say well Dave Meltzer reported that this was a 5 star match so it must be the absolute truth and if you disagree those fans are not welcomed and are out of touch is a huge problem. If fans of Dave Melzter want the product to only be a niche product they are doing a great job. I have no problem with Dave Melzter giving his opinion my issue is the notion that his opinion is the only one that matters. I do not think professional wrestling is a sport but I do look at it as a simulated conflict and I do not belive that these participants are just playing "chracters" I wish the term character could be expunged from the business. What would my character do in this situation? is wrong! If you want to refer to professional wrestling as a show or even something like theater I have no issue with that but viewing pro wrestling as acting or playing a part needs to stop unless the promoters want the business to go extinct.
What I have decided
to do and I hope this is understandable I have chosen to focus on what I do
have the tiles I do have instead of focusing on what what I do not have. One of
the main reasons so many people cannot find happiness or satisfaction they
focus on what they do not have instead of focusing on what they do have. Maybe what they have is better than they
realize. It may take maturity to realize
this because I think it is only human nature to focus on what is missing or what
we think is missing in our lives. But
the trick is to concentrate on what we do have and try to enjoy that the best
way we can. The main thing for me I
want to hold on to my current reality instead of focusing on what I have "missed
out" my current reality is pretty good when I reflect on it. But I think focusing on what we do have is
an extremely important leason not only for me but for everyone if they want to achieve
any happiness or satisfaction in life. My main
goal with this project is to focus on the trivial wheather it’s music
professional wrestling etc I want readers to enjoy it if they do not I do not
want them to read it I appreciate everyone who checks out this blog but the
main reason I do not promote it or let people know about it I do not want people
to feel obligated to read it. One of my
goals has been to write about let people know about music that I truly love and
have a passion my hope is to inspire readers to seek out or discover different
musicans and bands or to discover material from a musican or band that they like
that they were unaware. It is no secret
that I prefer what are known as: deep tracks in the radio business not that
what is popular is bad I just get tired of hearing the same songs repeatedly. But there is more of an audience for that
because there are people who just want to hear the same songs again and again
because it gives them comfort and they do not want to go any further than that. But I have discovered that there is more
depth to discovering more then just want is popular. But if readers do not like the music that I
love they will not enjoy my blog. But
again my main goal is to bring joy to readers who are curious but all of what I
have written are my own opinions and prospectives.
I need to make clear that despite that I have written that even though I sometimes feel "as if there has to be more to my life then this" but that is not a knock on my current reality I think that is just human nature even if someone does not have a disability or extenuating circumstances I think that is just human nature and human nature can never be fully satisfied life is a constant battle with human nature. Everyone knows someone who seems to have a lot but are very unhappy and unappreciative and there are people who have very little but who are extremally grateful and happy which of the two would be emotionally healthier? The person who is happy with very little because the ones who seem to have a lot but are unappreciative because those are the ones who complain about the smallest things that goes wrong and never realize how blessed they are until they lose it. But I think everyone needs to remember that life is a constant battle with human nature. That is why it is okay to check in with yourself and others there is nothing wrong with realizing that someone you may know or even yourself is not okay.
I respect both Joan Jett and Ted Nugent for different reasons Ted for being an underrated guitar player and outspoken with his political view whether I agree or not. If Ted wants to say that the riff for "Little Miss Dangerous is perfect I agree with that. I am not sure I know what's the beef because to me Joannie Jet can sherd a guitar. I can understand if Joan Jett is not your so called cup of tea but I do not understand how anyone who is a fan of rock'n roll can not respect Joan as a guitar player. There are plenty of guitar players that are underrated but most of the guitar players Ted mentioned: that should be on the greatest guitar list are unknown to the mainstream. The difference between having a missing tile and suffering from missing tile syndrome is not always easy to figure out a missing title is anything that prevents anyone from being happy. Having missing tile syndrome is thinking having something will make a person happy but they are just thinking that will make them happy they think there is something missing. Which is not always easy to discern so I think everyone has two choices: they can either replace it or learn to enjoy what they have. I learned to accept the things in my life and even enjoy a lot of it. I hate to admit this because I feel guilty for thinking this but there are sometimes where I think that something is missing in my life or I wake up thinking "that there is more to my life then this". I try to not bring this up because I do not want to make those around me feel bad or miserable. But at the same time I have an appreciation and feel blessed in so many ways: with an excellent family that I could not feel more blessed but at the same I feel something is missing but there is truth to the phrase be careful what you wish for because you just might get it.
In section #5 I hopefully briefly wrote about my disability and how I have learned to accept it and how it may seem as if I am giving up but I have just learned to accept it as a part of reality instead of denying it or being depressed about it. I want to make the right decisions in my life it is just that more times then I would like to admit I am not referring to the small decisions or the ones that really do not matter I am referring to the most important ones. I have heard the expression that small things turn into big things fortunately for me that has not been my experience yet. I have to admit there is not a lot of support in this world there are always people who say they will support you no matter what but the true test is when the most challenging times of life occur see if they are there. I think the whole issue with support I think a lot people mean well and they love you they just do not know how to provide the proper support and the bigger problem the one who needs the support is not sure either. That is the main reason we have such a mental health crisis in this country but at least as a society we are acknowledging that there is a mental health world wide epidemic so hopefully that is a step in the correct direction just to acknowledge it. So these people are not bad people they are just not sure how to treat those who think or know they are having mental health issues the first step is eliminating the stigma around mental health which is starting. No one wants to ask for help because asking for help has either been they are weak or are just looking for attention. There are people who are searching for attention and want sympathy but I do not think that is the majority most have a lot of shame associated with asking for help. Or they feel selfish and are burdening those around them. I look at it has just checking in think of the human mind: as a car that needs a tune up or a check up. It is critical to realize the human mind and psyche is extremally fragile. I think we have seen the dire consequences it is unacceptable. So to prevent any more unnecessary tragedies there must be more check ins because the mental health situation has become a world -wide epidemic. I want to be happy I want to stay happy I am not sure what happiness entails but as: Dennis Prager wrote: in his book "Happiness Is A Serious Problem" we may not have a definition of happiness but we know what being unhappy means. I want to be happy for others around me but as I wrote previously I feel broken in a lot of ways. But I try to make the choice to not let that notion interfere with my trying to be "happy". I hope I continue to grow and mature.
I am never going to say that I do not care what people think in fact I do care I care a lot. But I do agree with Joe Rogan that the people who say that they do not care what others think they absolutely care and it bothers them but I am not going to change what I like and what I do not I think when anyone does this they will do anything to be wanted or popular. To put it another way but in a more serious way they will comprise their values. The reason I say to put it in a more serious way because no one should care what someone likes and does not like I am just using compressing their values as an analogy because I really do not care what people like or dislike I can still be friends with them and like them it does not mater to me. But I am not going to apologize for any kinks that someone else might not like but again I think I need to reiterate that I do care what others think. But I do encourage others to accept those so called "kinks". Not everyone needs to know about everyone any way there are some things that need to be kept private but that does not make anyone bad people. There will always be parts of a person's personality that they may have conflict but I know for sure everyone needs a release of some kind.
I really enjoy Eddie Edwards with his Singapore Cain known as: Kenny which was bestowed upon him given to him by Tommy Dreamer after their House of Hardcore rules match at Slammiversary 2018. But unfortunaly Killer Kross broke Kenny at the 2300 arena in Phillipdhia Pennsylvania but ECW and hardcore legend: The Sandman gave him a new Singapore Cain called Kenny 2.0. Which I have to admit when Killer Kross broke Kenny that really bothered me because that Singapore Cain known as: Kenny was Eddie's family in his mind. But I am glad that Eddie got his revenge against Kross in a first blood match at Slammiversary 2019 in Dallas Texas. I do agree with Jim Cornete I wish more fans would "wonder be kids on Christmas morning again that's what's been lost that is what drew me in as a fan was the "wonder". But the business is often broken down and newsletters telling fans that this is what fans should enjoy and the way they should view the product and ignore others. Jim made the comparison to magic when was the last time you saw a magician give away their tricks? Or how if Jim ever goes to see the Rolling Stones he does not want to know how everything is done he wants to wonder and say Wow how did they do that? That's great.! The reason I bring this up I completely agree but unfortunaly for me and other fans I am not sure that can be rediscovered the only way it can is if the talent and more importantly the fans rediscover it. This video with Jim Cornete is an RF Video released in 2003. I like that Eddie Edwards with Honor No More which is a take off of Ring of Honor he still uses Kenny the kendo stick and with Eddie's past with Ring of Honor that makes sense because he feels betrayed by Impact Wrestling but I like that he still uses Kenny the Kendo stick. I am not the only one who has discussed toxic wrestling fandom and how that is turning fans away many on the internet have blamed AEW but I can say for certain that is not the reason for this it has been going on years before AEW began the rise of AEW might have made it worse but in my opinion it is unfair to blame the rise of AEW just because they have extremally passionate fans there is nothing wrong with that and I have no problem with that. I think the main problem are the fans who read the insider newsletters because I think they believe they have some secret knowledge that other fans do not have. I do not think there is anything inherently wrong with reading newsletters but those newsletters are not just reporting the news they are telling their readers how to think and view the product. So what is happening if anyone who tries to just enjoy "the "show" so to speak and buy into it like myself we are called names made fun accused of "trolling" by those fans who have that "secret knowledge" I do not blame them for being so passionate in fact I encourage it but so much of these inside newsletters make me not want to be a fan anymore because it is so exhausting. The biggest issue I do not think Dave Meltzer understands this prospective in fact the way he interacts with fans on the internet criticizing and making fun of fans who disagree with him is extremally problematic. Jim Ross was asked about the conflict between Dave Meltzer and Jim Cornete who is wrong? He said no one is wrong because all they are doing is expressing an opinion how can expressing an opinion be wrong? I disagree with JR because this goes far beyond just expressing an opinion because Jim Cornete was just trying to not have a feud but Dave is so fantastical about his prospectives he takes everything so personally and that he can not stand it that Jim does not like the kind of wrestling that he thinks everyone should like he takes that as an insult in being an expert he can not understand that! I do not understand why Dave Meltzer goes out of his way to knock Jim Cornete in his newsletter saying that he is out of touch I do not understand why he does this? But it turns me and many others who love this away. This fandom really needs to stop the passion does not need to go away. I think and believe that because Dave Meltzer is so fanatical about his opinions which again there is nothing wrong with that but it rubs off to his readers and makes them fanatical. Where absolutely no other prospective is tolerated I think we all need to keep everything in prospective about what is really important. Because if it is not all this will do is turn passionate fans who have a different prospective away which will be a true shame. Every fan should be able to express any and every opinion they want. I think the more prospectives there are the better those fans might learn something. The point I think it is worth making having just one prospective of any kind is short sided. If any of this sounds like an attack of any kind it is not meant to be. I know there defeatedly will be fans who will say well I guess that means I just can't have an opinion that pity party route which I am not suggesting that I want to hear the good and the bad but what I am truly bothered by the tribalism it needs to go. There are always those who want to ruin others party and my point is get a life! Now there are always people on the internet who will take what I am saying to be an insult it is just ridiculous they can say whatever they want just stop the personal attacks that is what needs to stop but those on the internet do not understand this well I think they do they just want to play victims everytime they are called out or told to leave everyone alone. I really would just like to "wonder" that goes not just for professional wrestling that goes for rock'n roll movies etc. I know I am weird but don't you want to know everything about everything because we all know all of this is not real? My answer: is absolutely not I want an escape for a little while. But I know there will be those who will say I just do not want anyone to have an opinion no I want everyone to have an "opinion" I just want myself and everyone else to be left alone. If I know how every musican and band does everything I know I would not enjoy it has much because I know how everything is done.
I think it is important for me illustrate that the only reason that I believe I deserve every wonderful thing I want in my life has to do with my belief in God nothing else that is my foundation. I do not believe God wants us to live miserable lives no I believe God wants us to be at our best but at times that is not possible because of depression and just plain life gets in the way. But God does not want us to be depressed for the rest of our lives I believe he wants us to break out of that and any time someone is depressed they are not wasting time selfish or weak. That is something I often hear so and so is just selfish there are indviuals who are depressed just to seek attention but that is not the majority I do not think. Also anyone who is depressed they are not wasting time they need help and support from family and friends etc. The problem is a lot of people do not have that and are not sure where to turn. But I have often thought when I have come out of a depression that I wasted time I could have been more productive. I think it is important for me to note: that anything that I have written about women has been all in fun and should not be viewed any further then that. This is certainly a transitional time for me a place where I never thought I would be I hope as time goes by things become more clear. One of the goals of the tag me campaign founded: by Christy Hemme is to end the stigma around mental health because there are still so many afraid to ask for help. Which I hope to change as well.
I do not understand the notion of wanting or rooting for a company to fail if you are a true wrestling fan that does not make any sense to me it has become such a niche product anyway which breaks my heart. I want AEW to be successful I know that is shocking but they have their fan base and I hope it continues to grow also I am ecstatic that Impact Wrestling has been around in some shape or form for 20 years now because I remember reading at the time from the experts do not support NWA Total Non-Stop Action because it was not going to last long so whatever happens that will always be an awesome feet that can not never be taken away. I hope W. Morrisey becomes the new Impact World Champion by defending Moose at No Surrender LIVE: from New Orleans tonight it is impossible for me not to root for this guy after all he has been though whatever he goes I hope he has many successful runs. There are some people who believe I think professional wrestlers should stay in character always. I am not suggesting that but I think the ora should remain the same. I hate terminology of character there are more people for you then against you. I would like to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Wayne's World I really enjoy both of them for different reasons it really still holds up those characters in Wayne's World are the type of people I wish to be because their out look on life which is I am going to have fun in life no matter what! Which is a beautiful philosophy but not very productive. Party On!
I think one of the main aspects that are turning professional wrestling fans a way is the notion of being allowed to just one prospective that is getting much worse. I think that has been the fun of it. The second is the political correctness that has effected the entire industry where if just one fan gets offended that is not acceptable and needs to be taken out. The third: professional wrestlers are not playing characters which is not exactly the same as: a movie or television show they are extensions of their own personalities just amplified in a way where they are not acting. I should be able to say that and not be mocked for it. No one should be mocked for just stating a prospective. If fans do not understand that is not my fault they should do more research on a different prospective. No I am not trying to take the fun out of this I am just stating a different prospective also fans should be allowed to buy into this otherwise there is no reason to do this. I would be happy to explain this prospective to anyone if they want me to do so. I have loved this art-form or entertainment for a long time but just being allowed to have just one prospective has really drained my passion and enthusiasm. I am not willing to give up those aspects of professional wrestling that make it the most unique. Fans of the past are often mocked by fans of today thinking those fans were all imbeciles because they believed all of this was real and it is all good now. That is not it the talent went out of their way to get fans to believe it because they believed it themselves. Please understand: I am not trying to tell any fan that their prospectives are wrong and I am not going to argue with anyone. This is not that important to me just allow me to have my own prospective. I am also not trying to make this more complicated then it is I am trying to illustrate problems that I see which are exhausting. I am not suggesting that everyone should just agree with me because I am not against having conversations or debates what I am against is people starting fights for no good reason or being accused of "trolling" whatever that means just because I do not have their exact same prospective. Those are the many things that are turning away so many die hard wrestling fans. It is often illustrated by promoters and writers that write look at all these fans chanting and enthusiasm for a certain brand but those fans are only doing what they have been conditioned not genuine emotion of past fans. Which I am hoping that this is just a case of fans just being so passionate about their own prospectives but I think they forget about others prospectives which drains the passion out of me.
At this point in time I am going to make concerned effort to manage my mental health and no I am not weak I just know at this point in time it is going to be a challenge but it is well worth doing. If I could go back playing those Smackdown games I would have taken it more seriously meaning I would not have tried to join my brother's group his superstar Lobotomize and his friend's superstar Raptor the name of the tag team Darkside and or Zero Tolerance those were some of the best wrestling games I have ever played. I definitely wish I had taken more advance of those times I miss those times. The main reason I feel that it was tag team or a faction a faction: in professional wrestling is a group where they are more then two indviuals. Tommy Dreamer said something during a promo on Tuesday February 9th 2021 on Impact on AXSTV to build up to his Impact World Championship match with Rich Swan during No Surrender 2021 on Impact Plus. I wanted to bring that up because it helps bring that passion and enthusiasm which I need to get back. There are diffidently some really bad people in this world that is why we all need an escape.
I can not stress how important taking care of your mental health is because once that is managed everything else will fall into place. There are so many people that seemingly have everything and are miserable and I do not mean that in a negative way it is what what it is and taking care of a friend's mental health and your own mental health should never be dismissed and it often is and it should not be. No one wants to go and ask for help because it is embarrassing for the person asking for help. I do not think most people want that type of attention and it is in no way a sign of weakness. Yes there are definitely some people who are just looking for attention but I do not think that is the majority there are some people who want to be victims but that is not the majority and if someone asks what do you have to be depressed? I can tell you most people who say that mean well or who are ignorant. I am not sure what happiness is what the meaning of being happy means I am hoping that as I grow older I hope I understand more about what happiness is because it is extremally important not only for you but the people who are around you it is better for society. As Dennis Prager often says on his radio show the happy make the world better and the unhappy make the world worse. So being happy is definitely a noble pursuit but if you are not sure but if you are not sure what the act of being happy entails but for me taking care of my mental health is number one for me every day. I am not special this goes for everyone and and every one feels like failure during certain points during their lives and if you do not know that you have support it will make it almost impossible to get through those periods in your life. No one wants to talk about situations like this but it extremally important to prevent future tragedies and happiness is a complicated issue. I deserve every good thing in my life and I am not special but I definitely believe in God but that does not mean that I do not get upset and angry with God I have a hard time not getting agitated and irrigated with God on some level when I think about all the injustices that take place it is impossible for me not. I deserve everything good that I want in this life and my main reasoning for that is my belief in God and I think God wants everyone to live their best lives and I believe everyone deserves to live their best lives which goes back to my belief in God. There is definitely work that has to be put. I never have ever believed that anyone deservers or needs bad things to happen in their lives there are definitely some really bad and evil people out there and I do not think they deserve good things to happen in their lives either. Happiness is not a choice for many there are a lot of people who want to be happy but are unable.
I believe the mentality of the smart marks is that the entire business of professional wrestling was based on a con and that they are too smart to buy into the con so they completely ignore the illusion so to speak. So instead of enjoying the product they throw around buzz words that they have no idea what they mean but they think they do. So depending on anyone's view the business was or is based on a con and if any fans brought into the product in the past they were being coned and the promoters thought the fans were suckers now I think it is important for me to note that I have never believed this but many fans and the media believe this. But I have always believed that promoters always respected the fans they were just trying to give the fans an escape which to me was the fun of it. Not breaking down segment by segment and thinking was that planed or did someone screw up? I just have never understood the mindset of the promoters believing that the fans were stupid but depending on your view there are fans who believe that now the mindset of those fans is now we are all smart and we can't be fooled like that. None of these prospectives are wrong but there is definitely an impasse between these fans. I have always believed that promoters and talent who kept the ora not always staying in "character" or persona but when a fan saw them in public they looked like someone. I used the word or term "character" to illustrate a point but I against using it. There was a phrase on MTV's Singled Out which was hosted by: Chris Hardwick and Carmen Electra took over as co-host called make up nookie now the word nookie is just a fun word to say regardless of what it means. When I have written about politics in past sections I never tried to do it in a condescending way but in an entertaining informative way everything I have done I have tried to keep the mindset of how do I make this entertaining? I do not think most people understand the damage and danger of the left which I did not until I become aware of it and I started studying the history of it. For example: the left has never been for freedom of speech and the left has never loved America. Which we are witnessing now with the rise of cancel culture silencing voices that may be considered dangerous. Those are the voices who I try to defend the most because that is the speech that most needs defending.
