And Nigel needs a psychologist more than anything at this point. He said in his AMA that he wouldn't accept an offer to work as a WWE commentator because it would make him too sad. That's loving ridiculous and not the talk of a healthy man.

He hasn't run away with anyone's money. In fact he made the documentary he promised, sent out all the rewards and did exactly what you are supposed to to build good will on kickstarter. If he was going to run this in the ECW arena you'd be beating off with joy and apologizing for ever doubting him.

If he ran a fed called LA Fights in Philadelphia then I'd have to believe the concussion rumors.

The documentary had the dude going around for 2 months displaying obvious signs of depression. A healthy way to treat that is to see a doctor, not to put sad Charlie Brown music over your ramblings and try to make money off it.

I wish Nigel well, but he seems to be in a bad place.

You clearly don't wish him well, you have been begging for him to fail for years. Unless his AMA said "I am not seeing anyone about any issues I may have I am fine" you are being a complete rear end in a top hat. Even if he refuses to see anyone, he's not alone in this world. If you haven't seen a person with issues make a movie, write a song, paint or do whatever as part of his method of getting over it you are... well you are the Eugene Jerome we've always known.

But he hasn't gotten over it. He made the movie 2 years ago. ROH was kind enough to help him transition to a commentator and give him steady work, and now he's apparently abandoning that to start over again when he doesn't have to. There's no reason to feel sorry for him at this point - let him save his own money and start LA Fights.

Lack of money isn't the problem here.

He's been working in LA as an Assistant Editor/PA on a bunch of Reality TV stuff. I don't know how you can take that as starting over, when those gigs pay way more than an ROH commentating gig would. Is he bitter about the WWE rejecting him still? Absolutely, that was his dream gig. But everyone has things in life that they're still bitter about.

ROH commentator isn't enough money to retire on. Even if it was plenty of people try to work on outside projects. You are the one who called it a pity me documentary and said people were only donating because they felt sorry for him. Everyone uses kickstarter to fund projects now. The Rifftrax guys could easily get a business loan for their live events but they do it through kickstarter because it's a good way to generate publicity and funds. LA Fights will probably not be funded, but acting like people donate to him through kickstarter because they feel sorry for him is just your own twisted view bleeding through, as always.

I've mentioned it a few times in this thread. It was the first wrestling podcast I listened too. It's a shame they do the whole buy our back episodes thing but I understand why it happens. And at least you can get it as MP3 now which you couldn't before. That episode is great though, as is the Powers of Pain bench press competition.

There was one time in catering where John was sitting by himself, which is a rarity. I said, "Hey man, you mind if I sit with you?" He said "no". And I’m eating, and I go, "So, how’s everything with you, man?" And he goes, "You know something, no one ever asks me that. Everyone asks me how they can get over, or what I can do for them. No one asks me how I’m doing."

Jesus. There's actually an old Michael Jackson story that's surprisingly similar that I read after his death. It was way way back when he got roped into doing another Jacksons album and they were all interviewed together. At the end the interviewer tells him to take it easy, just as an off the cuff thing, and Jackson is confused by it. It becomes clear that no one has ever spoken to him just like a normal person before.

It's one of those things that happens to some celebrities, particuarly those who are so deeply entrenched in their respective roles. It seems there's so little time for Cena to be just Cena, just like there was for someone like Jackson (At that time at least, that changed later but the damage was done). Hell I'm sure it was the same poo poo for Elvis too.

I imagine it was especially bad for Michael, since he was born into it, he never had a normal life before he was famous.

Raw broke Vinny.

quote:

They found a red and white striped "candy cane" and did stuff with it. The match went on and on and on and on and on and on and it was boring and boring and boring and boring and boring and boring. gently caress YOU BOTH, ONE OF YOU loving LOSE. I DON'T CARE WHO. TAKE IT HOME. IT SUCKS. YOU HAVE TRIED AND FAILED. STOP THE MATCH. QUIT WRESTLING. LEAVE. IT'S CHRISTMAS. GO loving HOME. IN EVERY SENSE OF THE PHRASE. Bray won. gently caress you both. 20-plus minutes of poo poo right here. AND THEN THEY KEPT FIGHTING. Dean hit him with a fire extinguisher and put him through a table. Man, sure was a meaningful win for Bray there. Thank God there was a decisive winner here. This was loving awful, I've seen everything these motherfuckers can do with each other and I'm going to have see it a dozen more times. I am so, so, so, so, so, so tired of them both. And, to be fair, everyone else on the show as well.
