[Mr. Mediocre]

Man, that second paragraph is ten kinds of awesome.

Something interesting that just dawned on me, nothing major but I feel like it's relevant to note...after DBD5N2, Nigel was happily signing programs post-show. There was a huge-ass line, clogged up some people getting out of the Armory. Considering some people think Nigel's involved in 161, I just find the autorgraph thing to be a curiosity.

Grr, this is getting more and more frustrating. I NEED TO GET TO MANHATTAN, STAT!

That gives me a bad feeling that whoever it is will come out to like, no pop, and the crowd will be more stunned that they bought into this thing.

The first person I thought of when I read that was Jerry Lynn. I honestly don't know why, but he's who immediately popped into my head.

If I had a quarter for every mile I’ve traveled for this business, I’d have garnered more than I’ve ever earned by traveling those miles for collected paydays and signed autographs.

Doing the work isn’t the problem. I could smile a million more empty smiles, and scribble to the moon on every single napkin/scrap of paper/event program brought to me by any nameless, faceless, heartless jerk with a sanctimonious grin on his face. I’ll hug all your kids, and take pictures with them all, individually, and then together. I’ll shake your hand while you forget for a second, that later that night you’ve got message boards to fill with hate.

Now, try not to let our little moment there dictate the star rating of my match that you’ve jotted down in your little notebook. Because God knows we mustn’t compromise integrity. Honesty is at a premium people; and the price? Evidently, more than any of you can afford, so why bother to collect.

I chose this profession, yes. And I take responsibility for the inequity that is the price of this so-called glory. Part of my conundrum, though, is that dreams always give way to a common version of the truth. And in our haste, we lose track of what is avant-garde. If you have the power, truth is what you make it. This realization is how you are unlike us.
The other part of the problem is that I had allowed you, as ordinary people, to infiltrate my psyche. Thus, you had the advantage. Luckily, revolutions make me feel young again. And with this, we are free.

Free from the pitfalls of reality.

Free from you, and your smug articulations.

Free, because when your jaws hit the floor, may it be in Manhattan or Hartford or Detroit or Chicago, the silence will resonate, and silence my friend, is our greatest achievement.

As we amass your honesty, we’ll collect your heads as well.

Imagine this.

CM Punk, on Sunday, wins the title from John Morrison.
Show 161 is in Chicago.

Need I go on?

It unfortunately may be a bit late for that, Jed.

Overhype is already upon us.

Some people won't be satisfied unless Paul Heyman leads out RVD, Sabu, and 1/2 of TNA's roster to wage war on ROH.

I would hate for it to be that. ROH has had too many wars. Can't we have a nice peaceful conflict of interest?

Makes me feel young again? So it's an older person?

[poi zen rana]

i think with the way it is building even if the people behind it were a disappointment, i think with the awesome build up they are giving it, it may still turn out great even if it is disappointing after the unveiling. i think the characters and motives they are building up could make this interesting.

[The Line]

there is an article on ROH's main page about Jimmy Jacobs, where he talks about "feeling like a new man". But he also talks about "his girl, lacey", so take it for what you will.

Or someone who feels old, because of the business.

Yeah, the theme seems to be wrestlers who are burned out by the fans, ROH, and the industry as a whole. But it COULD mean literal age, so we'll see.

Still, here's what I'm confident of: even if the immediate revelation isn't mind blowing, a really good angle is still going to come from all this. I think we can be sure of that.

hmmm put up a picture of the new york sky line...where is that bomb shelter again?

Really more hints are dropping about Project161 and bullying people around, smashing things, and taking what's theirs....

lol..

DARSOW i'm telling you

[nerdinitupagain]

Well...

I love how this just has everyone guessing lol.

Just a guess but it sounds like a veteran burnt out on the business and is tired of fans that give the perception of loving him at shows then go home and bitch that he can't put on 5 star matches for one reason or another. I'd love to see it end up being RVD... just cause I'd love to see Van Dam motivated again and willing to go out and wrestle like it was 10 years.

How hard would I mark to hear the opening riff to Walk at one of these shows.
