    what's the pay like?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,655 ✭✭✭Ph3n0m


    Non existant unless you are corrupt, then its zero

    To any considering it - dont ask for the role unless you have an interest in pro-wrestling

    what kind of crap do you mean?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,399 ✭✭✭✭r3nu4l


    Even if I had an interest in Pro Wrestling I wouldn't volunteer for that one :D

    Shouldn't this be in the mod forum? Also, as the forum mod can you recommend anyone for the job?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,216 ✭✭✭✭monkeyfudge


    Won't someone have to fight you in a large cage in order to take the modship title from you?

    nah, there'd have to be 6 folk fighting over the modship.

    royal rumble!

    Is it that time of year again?

    The steelcage match joke has been done to death, coffin match ftw.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 36,634 ✭✭✭✭Ruu_Old


    I have a few in mind to nominate but I don't think they'll even take on the job. *dropkicks r3nu4l* :)

    Ha ha ha, i should SO go for it! Then i could unban myself. :D

    I assume either Vince or Mr Nice Guy would do a good job and have the passion for it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,163 ✭✭✭✭Boston


    Isn't this the forum where the members where constantly trying to depose the moderators a few years back?

    well how do you think you are able to post???? you wally


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 30,661 Mod ✭✭✭✭Faith


    Ph3n0m, the admins are much more likely to notice this in the mod forum. Or drop Vexorg a PM and ask him to look after it, having suggested a replacement!

    Well the last post i made in there was the one that got me banned!!! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,184 ✭✭✭✭Pighead


    Pighead will do it. What I don't know about wrestling isn't worth knowing about. Big Daddy, Giant Haystacks and that bloke who used to be in Auf Weidersen Pet, all heroes of mine. I won't be able to start until Monday morning though as I'm off to a wrestling convention in the morning.

    Wrestling rocks.

    Did someone say wally? :D

    Honestly Ph3n0m, see what happens when you don't post requests like this in the Mod forum, you get all sorts of weirdos offering their services.

    Want me to move it there? better chance of an Admin seeing it.

    You didn't seem to mind when this weirdo offered his services to you not so long ago.
    Anyway back on topic, has Pighead got the job?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,330 ✭✭✭✭Amz


    Ber, I'd suggest moving it alright.


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 10,501 Mod ✭✭✭✭ecksor


    Oh, leave it, I won't pay any attention to it in the Mod forum either, but the responses here will be more amusing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,524 ✭✭✭✭Gordon


    *ding*ding*

    RROOOOUUUND TWO


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,655 ✭✭✭Ph3n0m


    Even I am strangely interested

    Does this mean there will be a swimsuit section in the competition - yes there will be - and Pighead is required, and I do mean REQUIRED to wear a single piece costume, that in no way reveals any flesh of any kind or is any kind of thong

    psi made me a card once, something to do with the difference between dreams and reality, it would have been useful here, but I cannot find it.
    Last man on earth or a banana, tough decision.

    Pighead should be made an Admin.

    You know, it's more fun when the wrestling regulars come in and let their testosterone filled egos go wild!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,421 ✭✭✭Doodee


    hahaha, wrestling.

    Nothing like groping other men in a circular ring to reassert your masculinity.

    Now a UFC forum, that'd Id be into!


    Shoot em all and let asok sort them oot!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,958 ✭✭✭✭RuggieBear


    oh dear god...does this mean i'll have to actually look in on it???

    very true, turn than ring into a hexagon and it is all hunky dory..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,638 ✭✭✭bombidol


    UFC is also discussed on the wrestling forum.

    About a year ago I asked could we talk about MMA shows like the UFC in the wrestling forum. And I gave a big long reason why. Phenom accepted it.

    The MMA board on this site does talk about the UFC too. But in my opinion, its more about actual MMA rather than the shows itself which is to me expected since its a self defense forum too.

    I mean geez, some would say that UFC is closer to the professional wrestling they grew up on than WWE is today. And obviously wrestling is a huge part of MMA too. Plus the majority of pro-wrestling newsletter covers MMA and pro wrestling equally.

    So I think theres a fair few reasons why UFC talk should be allowed on the wrestling forum at this current stage.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 493 ✭✭King.Penguin


    don't listen to amz vince she's a troll.

    i think MNG would be an excellent mod, or vince himself. However, I think they should be banned from talking about wrestling outside the 1990-1995 time zone

    Or the "Golden era" - as I understand it to be.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,638 ✭✭✭bombidol


    Im happy enough to allow UFC chat on the wrestling board. Given the cross connection between the two.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,111 ✭✭✭tba


    Mick foley was at a book signing in Easons Today.

    I don't think it should be split between two forums though.

    It should be either SD/MA or Pro-Wrestling.

    However pro-wrestling shouldn't really be in sports, because of it's Entertainment television ethos, I belive it should be in TV, or Hosted.

    Agreed.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 493 ✭✭King.Penguin


    How do the enlightened Cmods feel about Scuba diving? Greyhound racing and Darts? I think Pro Wrestling fans are entitled to talk about MMA events from a Pro Wrestling fan perspective in their Pro Wrestling forum. I think MMA mans are entitled to talk about MMA from an martial arts perspective in the SD/MA forum.

    Is self-defense a sport these days?

    Before I start, I feel like I'm wasting my time entering into a "conversation" with you, because of your above "troll" comment.

    However, if you were a regular reader of this forum, you'd already know my own feelings on some of the forums you've mentioned.

    I haven't stopped anyone from discussing MMA in either forum, however MMA by it's nature, and the clue is in the name, is better suited to the Martial Arts forum.

    Pro Wrestling is entertainment, it's scripted it's not sport, the very fact that there is no real drug control and testing system in place is enough to show that it does not come under the category of competitive sport. The winners are determined by popularity and marketing, not by skill, or ability.

    The very fact that mods have to prevent the spoiling of storylines akin to a TV series is enough to show that it's not in the right cateogry.

    As I've already said, this forum shouldn't be in sport, it should be in TV/Arts/Hosted ... Not in Sports.
