I made a thread about wanting to see Cody as Silverdust or Stardust literally 2 weeks before it happened on TV. I just feel like you made a very good inference on the storyline. I think that was the plan.

I believe Elijah Burke acknowledged that he browsed this forum from time to time.

We know Earthquake used to post here. Derrick Bateman has acknowledged us. I'm sure they can't be the only two people in the wrestling industry that have seen this forum.

I have no doubt that they have people keeping tabs on the bigger forums, it's pretty easy (and free) market research after all, but I have a hard time believing that the biggest wrestling company in the world is stealing our atrocious ideas. Most of the things that they've supposedly stolen are pretty obvious in retrospect. If John Cena busts out a spinning toe hold in the MITB Ladder match we'll know for sure. If they were listening to us at all, Percy Watson would still be on the roster damnit. Unless they're just trolling me. I think they're just trolling me.

someone here made a knock knock joke about Heyman - mike client Brock Lesnar conquered the streak, Before Heyman said it on tv . Also a few years ago someone here made the storyline about Daniel Bryan & The Bellas which involved Gail Kim, This was when both Bellas were chasing after Bryan- & They Thought he was a virgin, The story line ended with them finding out he had a girlfriend-Gail Kim , and that he was a Vegan - not virgin - this is EXACTLY how it played out on T.V. There are other examples out there , Our voice is heard Or I link my friend in creative to this forum and he secretly makes these suggestions to the utter joy of the nerds there at the table like it was all his idea. Wait. I didn't say that... ... We need more matches with Naomi in booty shorts and nothing else.

I remember saying how Ryback should have "Feed Me More" before his theme and then a few days later on RAW he had just that.

Their attorneys coming after us wasn't proof enough? Or Paul Heyman using Photoshops from here? Burke calling us out in a WWE.com blog? The aforementioned Derrick Bateman stuff? They know, hell, they probably have an account here like they do most other places. Attorneys? Heyman using FAN/CRAP made photoshops?? I am unaware of these developments....**pulls up chair** please, go on....

Does that mean they're reading this forum specifically for ideas to use? Absolutely not. Stuff does trickle down though and inspirations can of course happen based on outside influence, but just because you have an obviously good idea doesn't mean someone else won't have the same obvious conclusion to their own problem. It happens. Bullshit, I'm the only one with good ideas! True story: Snitsky punting the baby was my idea. I wrote it and photoshopped it in a column in TWF like 3 weeks before it happened on RAW. That's how I made the creative connection in the first place. The 'Shop went viral. He contacted me.And we've been friends for 10 years since.

Hence why we were unable to post videos of any WWE-owned content for awhile, and now have a distinction between linking and embedding them. Kash Flagg said that we've come close to losing the board a few times.

Maybe I'm crazy, but I was always under the impression some of them browsed here.
All I know is that if I was on creative and had to deal with Vince McMahon setting the script ablaze two hours before airtime, I'd go wherever I had to for ideas and to spark any type of creative juices.
Or if I were a wrestler and thought about ideas to pitch that could go on the show...
Or if I were one of the heads of the wrestling industry and wanted to gauge how much a portion of the audience hates me so I could directly reference it in a promo... I mean, it made sense to me.
Though I could imagine you'd have a lot who'd come to a place like this and run, screaming into the night. The shit some of us say about them...

The attorneys thing is on the other page but basically they didn't like us posting a commercial that wasn't on their official site, went to Proboards and we had to make a bunch of concessions and rules changes. Thread I made on Heyman using a Photoshop from here.

Paul Bearer was on one of the old boards, not the PB. LuFisto I'm not sure which she was on.
Lash and New Jack were definitely here. Human Tornado. Vin Gerard.

For indies, Human Tornado posted a few times... as has Vin Gerard (supposedly the real one not the Chikara joke that... Johnny B. Decent[?] is/was him) and Lufisto (who I believe was scared off in a day.)

He even contributed to the FAN main site (just an interview but still).

If I remember in his first post Vin actually mentioned the "Amigo was him" joke ... only he said the wrong CHIKARA poster

This thread has proven to be most informative on catching up with my FAN/Crap Board history.
