Konversations from the Klondike #3
Thursday, 02-Nov-00 03:14:05

Ok, it’s 12:15 in the morning and im tired and im pissed cuz I had this
column all written out and then my explorer quit and I lost it, so now I
gotta retype it. I will be back in a couple days with my real column, with
my thoughts of the last DWF show and what have ya, but for right now I wanna quickly address the whole rob/ben situation. Maybe it’s good that I lost the first draft, cuz it was a lot longer and I spent a lot more time on it
than I ever meant to.

In any case…here’s my take on the whole situation… SHUT THE HELL UP!!! ALL OF YOU!!!! I mean, seriously, after reading all the convo’s, shoots,
columns, and everything else involved with this, I’m seriously wondering why
I’m quite so vividly reminded of junior high school. I mean this is
seriously making me nauseous… And if none of you can admit that you haven’t
said anything immature, than… … do I need to mention Rob’s comment about Ben
misspelling a word (yeah, that proved a point), or shane’s whole shoot
(which, quite frankly, surprised me, shane. If you can’t admit that almost
all of what you wrote is immature beyond reproach than you’re not the man
I’ve taken you to be). Or to make sure that everyone understands that this
isnt my defending of Ben or whatever, when ben said something about women
and ferretts and his pants and shane… I didn’t even really follow it, but I
could tell that wasn’t very mature, either. So, don’t go expecting to a
“soilent green’s response shoot on Shane in support of Rocky” or anything
like that on the column board, cuz its not gonna happen. One, your not
gonna get me to sink to that level of immaturity, and 2, Ben doesn’t want or
need me to defend him like that. Which is good ,cuz I probably wouldn’t do
it anyway.

Now basically, I could give a s--- less about this whole thing, and the fall
out of it, and I really mean that.. I think I care more about who’s hosting
Talk Soup tonight. I find it utterly preposterous that this all came
about over an argument about the Hart scandal of 1997!! Yes, once again,
that long dead but never decomposing issue. Now, there’s nothing wrong with
a spirited, respectful debate on the topic, but come on!!! And for anyone
to think that they really have any f---ing clue what went on that night is
full of shit. The wresting business is like any other business in this
world, where things are kept from the public, and precautions are made to
keep us fans or “marks” or whatever the hell else you wanna call yourself
from finding out what they don’t want you to know. And they also learned
long ago how to use the Internet to their benefit, and to pull our chains,
and it doesn’t harm them like a lot of us think it does. So I could give a
rats ass about what anyone thinks they know, or what “contacts” they have,
…unless you tell me that you’ve talked to Bret, Vince, or Shawn, what you
know don’t mean shit…and you all know it when you’re alone.

Another thing I need to do is clear my name. Rob, in your last response you
eluded to some quote made by a DWFer, and then made the reference that the
rest of the DWF felt the same way. And I don’t appreciate that,… u can
keep this between u and ben and whoever else in the pf who wants to get
involved, but keep me and the rest of the DWF out of it. And it has been
suggested that I was the one who said it, which is bullshit. On this I will
defend ben, cuz he deserves it. And as his best friend and the one who
hangs with him the most with the exception of Rich, I should know. Yes, we
do spend a lot of time talking about wrestling, but it’s not his life.
However, there’s nothing wrong with talking about wrestling a lot (with the
exception of it getting old after a while), and for Rob to use that quote in
the context to suggest that he’s any different is bull.

Anyway, I’ve said about all I feel like saying. I’m tired of hearing all
the bashing, all the arguments over movesets and contacts, and everyone
going so out of their way to defend their egos. It sickens me and im going
to bed. Sorry for the bluntness of it all, but hey im pissed so my
judgments a little clouded. No, this doesn’t affect anything regarding my
future w/ the DWF, or with the Pf. To say things between the 2 feds are
“strained” right now may be a bit of an understatement….but whatever. I’m
in this for the fun, and I’m all for it as long as im having fun. If I
don’t think ill have fun and if im gonna have to worry about people buggin
me about Ben, then im not goin to Oshkosh for messiah day. Screw that, I
don’t need that shit. So Rob, if ya still want me there, ya gotta convince
me of that. I don’t pretend to take this nearly as seriously as anyone else
does. And that’s the way I want it… not to bash anyone else’s level of
involvement, however. And not to say that it doesn’t mean a lot to me. I’m
just sickened by the fact that a f---ing backyard fed that is supposed to be
for fun (at least for most of us) has caused all of this shit, and even
though I know there were many other reasons for it, and im not directly
blaming the pF at all, it basically can be all whittled down to the simple
fact that some guys in Wisconsin whom I barely know, and other’s relations
with them, has just caused me (inadvertently or not) to not be able to
wrestle with one of my best friends for the fun and sheer enjoyment of it
and our love of the craft… explain the logic to me in that,
please………someone………………. Thought so…... I feel like I should be asking for
an apology… I wouldn’t know from who, though.
In any case, Soilent’s still here, and will be until I stop having fun… and
the minute that happens, f--- this shit, I could have spent all the time I
did writing this doing homework.

Ok, now im done. I hope no one has taken any personal offense to anything I
have said here. And if so, feel free to take it up with me, for I got
nothing to hide. Or go ahead and post a shoot on me, since that seems to be
the popular thing to do nowadays…but don’t expect me to respond with another
one of my own, cuz i could care less what anyone has to say…czu anyone that
knows me will know not to believe what is written, and anyone who doesn’t
know me doesn’t affect me at all, so I don’t care.
But a word of advice… be4 anyone takes offense to anything I’ve said, try
checking your ego first, cuz once you all get rid of that and open your mind
a bit, I don’t’ think anyone’s gonna have anything to bitch at me about.
And maybe if that’s what had happened at the beginning of this whole
situation, this never would have happened.
Wow…what a concept.
