Bad For Business

I personally believe that the following concepts/ideas/people are bad for wrestling business. Some I believe to be self-explanatory.

-The 7 year Rule
-Johnny Ace
-Not Acknowleging the competition
-Kurt Angle (The man's an accident/lawsuit waiting to happen)
-The IWC blaming HHH for the way he's booked
-Stupid Marks (I had a conversation with someone that firmly believed that Mr. Kennedy killed Eddie Guererro)
-Ultimate Warrior
-Owner/Booker Champions
-Killing the Tag division
-Smarks that forgot how to have fun
-Rajah and NEWZ in general
-Pretaping shows
-Filler matches
-Rushed Feuds (WM had ONE blow-off match and it was the best match on the card, I personally believe it was the lack of closure or finality in a WrestleMania that accounted for that "Just another PPV" feel. Instead WWE probably lost buys on Backlash and arguably put on a better show for $10-$15 less per buy)
-Odd cross-promotion to get a wider audience (The View? A widely discredited Autism Charity? WWE needs to realize that some people will never be fans and definately do thier research before jumping whole hog)
-The horrible mismanagement of new talent. (They promote or show vignettes about someone for weeks and then never book them or FE them outright)
-Divas, or rather ex-models that cannot wrestle, and are outright interchangeable.
-A distinct lack of Managers
-MitB (Or rather the way that post-MitB is booked. I understand that its basically so they can have a back-up champion in case of emergencies, but its well.....predictable now.)

Life is meh....

Hello all....

The Doctor is in, and it is not good. This is one of my catagory 4 blogs today, its been that kind of week this week. One that has altogether ruined my Enjoyment of many things. Thanks to my own ineptitude and poor habits in taking care of myself, i may need another kidney transplant within the next 1-3 years, with three years being a VERY liberal estimate of time left. Add tothat I'm finally back on all my meds for the first time in probably 18 months or so. I've been sublimely stupid in the care and keeping of me and now I'm reaping that oh so bitter fruit. To be honest foks I'm scared. I'm most afraid of not being eligible for the transplant list, and also having to go back for psychiatric evaluation before serious consideration. I'm a good enough actor to pass for normal from day to day with the average folk, but those in the mental health field can see through me.....I don't like that.

I'm legitimately crazy....I have thoughts that scare myself, like I'm not really here. I ramble...case in point...see above.

My life's gotten better recently, before the appointment. I consider the appointment to be some kind of grand cosmic rebalancing, anything good in my or anyone else's life has to be balanced with an equal amount of suffering somewhere else, but usually of the same person. I have a happy home, a lovely wife, a beautiful little girl, food on the table, and no real worries outside of my health. I dunno, I just had to get some of this out to deal better...I'll get back to the land of the squared circle soon.

~Aside: If WWE's ring could be called the squared circle, WTF could TNA's be considered? The Hexagonal Circle? i dunno.....just a thought...nothing more...let it go to the four winds
