The immaturity and lack of class by UK is embarrassing. Unbelievable. Vandy should be up 10 if they were patient and wouldn't keep jacking up guarded 3s with 27 seconds on the shot clock. 1-16 right now for 3s.

Rather than sending out PM's asking if anybody wanted to join the competition, Titan posted in the dead thread about competitions and only had a handful of people respond to him. We're making it work, but we do need to get you a match Jay, lol. He has a match. Jay was just attempting to translate whatever that guy was trying to say.

If you don't like it it, don't do it. When you get no-shows because of that attitude and your inability to be flexible with people that want this whole thing to be successful, don't be surprised when the tourney falls apart.

It's been pick your own stips forever now, and every single show has no shows, so how am i fixing something that isn't broke? No matter if you pick your stips or i pick them, people no show. It doesn't make a bit of difference. People have been saying that they want guys to make the same person for months now, i've never been a big fan of that idea, but it worked really well in the four on four match the Horseman did against the nWo a few years ago. Not exactly the same, but a similar idea. But its a moot point, the decision has been made, do it or don't, i'm not changing things to please you. Of all people you should appreciate that decisions have to made on these shows, you've been in my place before. You are entitled to your opinion, but this is the way it is, participate or drop out. Just let me know now instead of no showing like a baby. Instead of simplifying the process you're complicating it which will lead to no-shows. It worked well in that match because you had much broader window to work with. Brutus Beefcake had like 18 gimmicks in his career and all of them were fair game in that match. Gregory Helms had atleast three different gimmicks and several different outfits in said gimmicks. Not to mention you guys were able to PICK who you wanted to do. Instead you give Gonzo and I a specific period of 2 MONTHS were Austin worked. All the other stips you choose for the other matches, the wrestler worked a minimum of a year and half in their respective companies. I don't think you understand I don't have a problem with the same wrestler stip, I have a problem with the period you choose because there is limited footage, photos, and outfits to choose from. The Hogan, Bishoff stuff was all filmed from the waist up and I already mentioned the boring attires he wore in his matches. Why don't we let Gonzo weigh in? If he likes the stip, I'll shut up.

13 days isn't horrible. It is when you make extremely limited stips. By the time you find the part you want and is shipped (god knows how long the other side will take to ship) your looking at less then a week to make a figure. You say we had a week since you announced this competition to gather parts, but it's kinda hard to gather parts for an unknown when YOU are picking the stip. If you want the participants to make the same figure...fine. Let them decide who they make. "You can't make everyone happy in these" or whatever you said...stips have never been a problem in the competitions. No-shows are the problem, and making somebody make a certain figure on this short notice is just begging for no-shows. I'm trying to shake things up and make things more challenging, part of doing that is picking the stips myself. You're trying to fix something that ain't broke which is just going to lead to the same problems of no shows. Nobody is complaining about these competitions not being challenging. They complain about NO-SHOWS and lack of great figures. The competitors can decide how challenging of a figure they want to make because in the end that will be taken into account when somebody else is judging the figure. It's a simple formula for these to be successful. Take two parties, let them mutually decide the stip, and have two (hopefully) great figures turn out. Put a tight deadline and a bad stip of something somebody doesn't want to make, the motivation is gone. You're just asking for trouble. These are supposed to be fun, and the competitors should be able to make a figure they WANT to make. This is sort of on the same topic and it's just my opinion, but I honestly believe revealing who everybody is making prior to the show kills some of the anticipation of said show. When the comps were in their prime, part of the excitement for me was opening the show thread wondering what everybody was going to do with their stip.

Looks good. He's missing the cargo pockets and I would add the white stiching. What's the scale like compared to other Mattels?

Yeah....so 13 days to gather parts and make a custom?
The stip is also a bit too restricting and too specific in my opinion. Austin wrestled 2 matches by my count in ECW. Both wearing plain black tights and white boots. Not leaving room much for creativity other then t-shirt and jeans. Atleast with the Eddy stip, he wore numerous outfits in WCW.

Better then having a generic crew cut like most of the new talent out of FCW.

He's still really green but he's no Kozlov that's for sure. I think he'll come around especially if they keep him with Regal after ECW folds. He can learn alot from Regal. I like his accent which makes him different and his enterance music is pretty awesome too.

Ugly game at Rupp tonight with a few highlights scattered here and there. Either way, always good to get a win. If anyone in the KY area wants to go to College Gameday let me know, I've got a few extra tickets for it. Since when did you have to have tickets to go to Gameday? I've been to two, and both were free. Both were also pretty boring. I did piss next to that d-bag Digger, and I confirmed the legend that he doesn't wash his hands.

Why do you assume everyone in the state of Texas is a Longhorn? Texas Tech, A&M, TCU, SMU...there's just as much animosity towards UT as much as there is love. Because compared to Texas, among the rest of the nation as well, those teams all pretty much suck and we know there are a ton of fair weather fans in the world A&M is on the verge of breaking into the top 25. I forgot to mention Baylor who is in the top 25.

Oh well. Pretty stupid that Texas's own fans had no faith in them to win a game. Why do you assume everyone in the state of Texas is a Longhorn? Texas Tech, A&M, TCU, SMU...there's just as much animosity towards UT as much as there is love.

This guy doesn't deserve a job in WWE. He is unbelievably bland and has made some poor tattoo choices in life. I'd rather watch a best of seven series between Tyler Reks and Hornswoggle before seeing another Vance Archer match.
