Fat Spanish Waiter Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I'd like to point out that the crowd WHAT-ing Hogan during his return to the WWF after nine years was a Chicago crowd. You know, not because I think it means anything, but maybe FSW can tell us how this ties into his Grand Theory of Chicago Crowds. Note: Hogan pointed out that Chicago fans ran Michael Jordan out of town to go play for the Wizards, which I'm sure FSW can expound upon as well. The key to it is understanding how awful Chicago and it's people are. They don't care about wrestlers. They don't care about athletes. They don't care about their teams winning or losing. They only care about themselves. The Chicago hivemind has one sole collective thought: how can we make it about us? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone from Chicago I'd say that's a fair bit of generalizing and stereotyping on your part. Just about everyone I associate with is mainly interested in the athletes they cheer doing well, their teams doing well, and not so much in themselves in relation to their interests. Sure, there may be a vocal majority who are loud enough that they present that image of Chicago, but the vocal majority is very rarely in the right when it comes to presenting a negative view on a city.

Big Fresh Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 The network should film that thing. You're onto something. They should do that for all the spoken word shows going around. Foley's, J.R.'s, even Dolph's stand-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In defense of Chicago, you could always replace "Chicago" in this statement with "FSW". 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomAct Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 The JBL and Cole Show (w/ Renee Young) today was just tremendous. Zeb cutting up Renee's green card, Cesaro literally swinging himself to and from the courtroom, JBL accusing Wade of being hungover. I love how WWE.com basically is allowed to exist in its own weird universe. I imagine Vince accidentally walking into them filming and wondering why there's a bear walking around or Torito is a lawyer. Of course, I also imagine Vince being very confused when all those online-NXT dudes and gals were hanging out for that weird year and a half run. All I want now is for Torito to be a tiny little bull lawyer that competes with David Otunga to make partner at a hot shot law firm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Why did nobody tell me Chuck Palumbo has his own reality series on Discover? It's called Lords of the Car Hoards. Looks like he has a bit of a gut now but he's still massive. Standing next to normal people he's fucking huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cool arrow Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 From today's F4W update: The match on 4/6 at Tokyo Sumo Hall with Prince Devitt vs. Ryusuke Taguchi is a loser leaves town match. That would seem to indicate something about Devitt's future. Interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nate Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I imagine, if TNA could somehow play up the meme of people paying to come to shows just to photograph the lack of attendance, it could in fact boost attendance. I mean, dude posting this pic is saying, "Look at this sad shit!" But, hey! Paparazzo! You still went; maybe even paid admission. And you still got shitty seats. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
