Louisiana Food Service Career

Friday, December 4, 2009 Gary, you got it dude.  Did I invent Abyss?   Yes I did.   But don't hold that against me.   I also invented standing in line and post-it notes too.  Abyss is a great talent and a good friend.  He has done very well for himself.  I helped launch Abyss' career when I booked him in Puerto Rico so technically,  he could also be considered another alumni of the University of Dutch but he didn't graduate due to being expelled.   I can't say why he was expelled due to federal privacy legalities but it was something concerning a woman,  a bottle of tequila and a deck of cards.  Use your imagination.   Abyss was a bad boy but he didn't learn it at the University of Dutch.  I think he learned it from Jeff Jarrett probably.  Jeff's a bad influence on a lot of people.  The cheeky bastard!!! 

Travis Smithfield from Destin, Florida: I love your blog.  Your blog is well written, funny and makes a point.  My question is why is the InterNet so negative about wrestling and TNA in general?

Dutch: Travis, now how in the hell would I know?  Do I look like a mind reader to you? I have no idea. You could ask Sylvia Brown or the girl who plays Ghost Whisperer on TV and see what they think about it. Or why don't you email some of the website gurus like Jason Powell or Wade Keller or Dave Meltzer and ask them. They would probably have a better response than I will.  

So since I don't know, I'll just do the next best thing and make something up.   That's what the websites do.  This is what I think.

Wrestling websites deal in rumor and innuendo first and fact later.  Or some  of them do.  Their main thrust is getting people to click on their site. To get fans to click, the headlines have to be interesting, shocking or intriguing. It's all in the presentation. Anybody can post anything, pro or con, about the wrestling business whether they know anything about the subject they're talking about or not. Hell, I could post on foreign domestic policy on the political websites but it doesn't mean I know what I'm talking about. Who cares? It's the InterNet. They can be 12 years old or 96 and on life-support. Doesn't matter. That's the problem. 

One thing that I've always hated about the wrestling websites is that they preach doom and gloom and that carries over to fans who frequent those sites. If fans don't like RAW/SmackDown/ECW or Impact, they immediately run to their computers and pan the show by saying it sucks and so and so sucks and everything sucks.  I've never heard the word 'suck' more than on wrestling websites. The show sucks, the booker sucks, the writers suck, the wrestlers suck, the announcers suck, the production sucks.  Everything sucks, sucks, sucks. I've often wondered what enjoyment can fans get out of watching a show, week after week, that, according to them sucked big donkey balls the week before. Now that to me would SUCK!!!

My opinion is, if I went to a restaurant and it sucked,   the last thing I would do is run to a computer to post emails or reax' to everybody on a website telling them how crappy the food or service was and how much it sucked. What I would do is leave the restaurant and never go back there again. I would be done with that eatery. End of story.

Long story made short. If the show sucks, turn the friggin show off and don't watch it. Simple.
