Please, for the sake of my sanity, can we all collectively as a forum create one? I see the same topics over and over and over again and it truly annoys the crap out of me. So, as a collective entity, let's create a WWE FAQ so we don't have to sift through the same old shit everytime a new member joins (or an old one decides to be an ass).
1) Macho Man and Vince McMahon No one knows for sure why Vince hates Macho, or vice versa. There are many speculations out there. The two most common ones are that Macho is too hard to do business with and Vince won't even acknowledge the man's name, and the other is that he banged Stephanie before he defected to WCW.
2) Ending the Brand Extension Whether its a good idea or bad, we've all heard it before. I don't mean to be an ass, but your idea is no better than anyone else's, and won't help end the extension anyway. It might be cool fanfic, but that's for another place.

New guys have the right to bring up whatever they want.

Add also the fact that there have been 1004 different people playing the part of the Ultimate Warrior, the same number of variations on the ARMBAR that Jericho knows.
Every move has now been streamlined to be a variation on the Twist of Fate - see J.R.>Hoghouse>BBQ sauce.
Oh, and Benoit didn't do it, it was Papa Shango's Black Mojo Magic.

Once a popular diva that the board obsesses over poses for Playboy, she is hated...despite the same people saying she should pose for said magazine.
Crap on those that can't wrestle, yet worship Khali...even though what he does for his country affects none of us in any way, shape or form.

Look, I gotta hold my hand up and say started a thread today regarding Macho Man / WWE "issues". In the eight years I've watched wrestling and been part of the IWC (just not on this particular site) there are certain stories / idea that I've come to realise are ubiquitous to certain parts of the IWC.
I may be a newbie to this site but not to wrestling and as such, I'd like clarification on such issues.
It's far easier to post a short thread rather than potentially navigating through several years of posts, in my opinion.
Sorry if I upset anyone but if people talk about such things, I like to know why.

I've been on this board just about every day, not always posting but at least checking on stuff and I still don't get some of the references and/or names that get thrown around.

I think it would be helpful if we updated the FAQ. Stuff like the Batista Basketball promo and the Tomko "no" skit are referenced a lot here, and if you were new then you probably forgot about these promos years ago.

Yeah, especially with how obscure the basketball one is. It got extremely old and beaten into the pavement along with the "I don't know" and "I got booked" crap.

Anyway most of like this site because it's relaxed, having thread nazi's telling new members what they can and can't post goes against the culture. Wrestling is repetitive, we need are staples when watching be they hot tags or 'Taker winning at mania, the internet should be no different. Yes I do realise the hypocrisy of this post.

Yeah, I need a few things clarified for me. Like the connection between McCool and Taker, and Taker taping his fist. And the Steve Blackman love...

Tomko was once asked for a beat by Christain and said no. it was just so unexpected it was funny. one person once posted that since the WWE are getting rid of everything Benoit, we should too. so we censored his face with Holly. McCool and Taker are dating as far as i know HBK was refusing to job at one point (i believe to Stone Cold at WM) and Taker started taping his fists and said something along the lines of "if nothing has been decided by the time i'm done taping my fists, i'm deciding it myself." Steve Blackman... dunno... someone just made a thread and it went from there. anything else?

Only thing I'm thinking was, Isn't the Undertaker married?
