budreck posted:Obey the time limits stated or prepare to get ridiculed. Seems fair? We're past the age of fans having their intelligence insulted. The time limit is a storytelling device. Expecting it to be adhered to perfectly is a ridiculous expectation that robs the audience of whatever the story's finish was planned to be. If the match has a "one hour" time limit it should be understood that it's approximate. The wrestlers don't have a clock, you can't expect them to pace themselves perfectly over the course of sixty minutes to build to the climax of the action right at the hour mark. If you think that a "one hour time limit" match going 61 minutes so that the wrestlers can finish doing the spot they were in the middle of is insulting to a fan's intelligence, you're an idiot.

My intelligence hasn't been so insulted since Lady Forsythe insinuated that the caviar we were supping upon was osetra, when it was clearly beluga!

In one of the multitude of Raven shoot interviews, he's asked for his thoughts on Green Lantern Fan. After pulling a sour face for a moment Raven considers that the worst thing that happened for many crowds was the day someone acknowledged him with a name, because from then onwards he thought he was part of the show.

I still don't get it. Wrestling fans are a very strange bunch that want to have it both ways. On one hand a segment says they want the product presented as a sport and not be reminded its a work. This is the group that complains about Canadian Destroyers because... 'it's not realistic'. And then they complain when one fan decides to time a match for whatever reason. If this GreenLantern Fan is a nobody, it seems pretty stupid to stop the match because of him. For whatever reason he managed to get the crowd to chant along with him. Granted some of the other stuff I see listed is creepy..

What would you rather have - Oh no, they reached the time limit! We have to STOP RIGHT NOW because some sperg in the audience carries a loving stopwatch. Or An exciting and fulfilling conclusion to a match.

Endorph posted:What would you rather have - Exactly. This is all there is to the issue. That's all. And for the record budreck you're lumping everyone into one group of "indy fan" so your whole "want it both ways" thing is incorrect. I don't want wrestling presented as a sport. It's a live action cartoon and I'm completely fine with that. I also don't want some sperglord causing a match to end one minute early because he carries a stopwatch around like an idiot.

ROH ended up running an angle towards the end of Nigel's reign where they had Mustache Dude ring the bell at something like 47 minutes for a "broadway" because they knew GLF was timing the matches and would sperg out about it.

The only time I've been insufferable toward a wrestler during a match was back in 2006, during a Roderick Strong match, but I'm also incredibly proud of pioneering the "ROOOOODERICK" chant so it's a win in my book.

My favourite GLF story is when he started a "Blind Rage Sucks" chant while Blind Rage was paying his respects to a dead friend before his last match. I always pushed Blind Rage to the moon in EWR

It's entirely possible that he and his friends started the chant which led to others in their vicinity thinking they missed a "ten seconds remaining" announcement in all the excitement and yelling, so they just joined in, which led to a domino effect. It's not that hard to imagine.

OneThousandMonkeys posted:So I'm kinda wondering why they don't just ban this guy from shows after two decades of this poo poo? ROH banned him for a few shows in 2006 due to him sneaking back in after he was asked to leave by security at the end of the show. He threw a big tantrum at the New Jersey show saying he supported the company more than any of the 'fairweather fans' and so deserved perks. DOI had a poster claiming to be him post on their forums at this point badmouthing ROH. The admins there, never known to miss an opportunity to paint ROH in a negative light, denied it was him and took ROH's side in this one issue. This is how reviled he is in the industry.

There is this one guy in my area. He will be the first guy in line at anything wrestling related; be it a show or an autograph signing. If he has to be there four or five hours beforehand just to be the first in line, he will. He boasted about one of the refs knowing his name and the fact that he knew which hotels the McMahons REALLY stayed at in Toronto. He tried to use that information to flirt with my friend and I.

I hate him. I also hate those two fat obnoxious idiots who are in the front row every time but at least Aries punched one of them one time.

jeffersonlives posted:The real question is whether he's worse than Jack Girl. Edit for content: As far as rear end in a top hat wrestling fan stories, the only ones I have are about myself when I was around 12 years old and would go to WWF shows at the old Boston Garden. I rabidly hated Hogan and Tito Santana back then and my uncles would egg me on to yell all types of obscenities, insults and slurs at the top of my lungs at them during their matches. In the old Garden, voices carried really loudly so I imagine I totally annoyed tons of other fans. I also got to yell some very rude stuff at Hogan once after a show when he was walking through some area they had set up so some fans could get up close to the wrestlers but I think he was amused because he started laughing about it, which made it harder for me to keep hating him afterward. The other wrestlers I got to see at this spot were the Iron Sheik and Paul Orndoff. The Sheik was awesome because he was taking tons of heat from the fans there and stayed in character, insulting America and making rude gestures at everyone. Orndoff was great because he was wearing the sweetest robe and had a hot blonde on each arm while acting like he was too good to actually acknowledge the fans yelling at him. (Sorry for the long tangent, adding my self-rear end in a top hat fan story just started a nostalgia trip while I was writing). savinhill fucked around with this message at 00:51 on Mar 28, 2011 |

You have not experienced pain until you have sat 10 feet away from Jack Evans Girl. I remember her bawling when Necro Butcher was beating the poo poo out of Jack at Final Battle 2007. Neodoomium posted:I've been to three ROH shows in Detroit('s Metro Area), and I've never seen GLF. I consider myself lucky, although we do have "Hulk Hogan Impersonator Guy" He only goes so far. IIRC he never went to Boston shows. The Berzerker posted:Toronto has this rear end in a top hat who dyes his hair different colors all the time, covers himself in glow sticks, and carries a ventriloquist dummy around. I hate him. Did the dummy look like an Oscar the Grouch ripoff? I think that guy got himself banned from Chikara events, too.
