By the way, Blitz is not invited to join this contest on the grounds that he should be dead soon and therefore his death would give him an unfair advantage in not watching anything...

Pffft, millions of people are already doing this so it's no big deal.

Shouldn't that make NOT watching wrestling easier?

I don't have Sky anymore, and I'm pretty sure I could live without watching the clips on WWE.com. So I'm sure to win.

Count me in.

Plus it's easier to go without watching wrestling than it is masturbating.

Mister Sinister

01-03-2007, 02:55 AM

Okay, an question, I like to ask...

Does this include, any wrestling related, such a wrestling video games, or just in related to real wrestling?

Such as playing SVR 2007, DOR 2, any Wrestling Video Game?

The One

01-03-2007, 02:58 AM

I am going to permit video games for now. If this contest goes into being months long, I may need to change that ruling. However for the moment being, video game playing is allowed.

Reading online results is permited, and looking at pictures is a-ok.

You guys may as well stop coming to the wrestling forum, then. How often is wrestling shit popping up via YouTube around here?

CSL

01-03-2007, 12:42 PM

<font color=white>Meh, I'm in. I probably won't last a week as I'm not gonna make an effort to avoid watching but ya know, whatever.</font>

Destor

01-03-2007, 01:03 PM

Just so you can more people in this I will. Gonna tell you know, I wont last 20 minutes after this starts.

Destor

01-03-2007, 01:04 PM

Wait this is underway ain't it? I'm out. Watching PWG's BOLA night 2.

TOVO, I've just realised this means I cannot watch the PCS segments on youtube. I'd like your thoughts on this?

The One

01-03-2007, 01:30 PM

TOVO, I've just realised this means I cannot watch the PCS segments on youtube. I'd like your thoughts on this?

The lose of Kevin Nash in anyone's life is incalcuble. While I have a deep sense of sympathy with you when it comes to missing out on some of television's finest work, you must realise that no one on this planet could possibly be more disappointed with this situation than I. So buck up my good friend, I plan on riding this out and winning.

As for whoever brought up YouTube, remember, one must push the play button before it begins to show, therefore any YouTube viewing is an unacceptable dismissal from the contest.

Destor

01-03-2007, 01:33 PM

I do believe I was the first one eliminated.

The One

01-03-2007, 01:35 PM

I do believe you are correct Mr. Destor.

CSL

01-03-2007, 01:50 PM

<font color=white>Yeah, I'm out. Might of accidently watched a PCS video on youtube. And it's not like I can lie and not admit it considering I posted it in the fuckin' Nash thread.

But come on One, how can you do this to yourself? It's like against the religion or something. I personally believe that PCS videos should be allowed because, like breathing, all things Kevin Nash related are essential to continue what we call life :y:</font>

The One

01-03-2007, 02:10 PM

I am considering this lack of Nash/PCS to be like sex. If you bow out at the first sign of an ending, you will never truly appreciate how good the climax and rush of sensation when you are free to do so has been built up. I encourage you to continue to post the PCS videos in the thread, because when I am finished and have won this contest, I plan on hitting a Nash Spree the likes of which has never been seen before. But like I said, I'm in this for the long haul and plan on winning.

I'm in, I'll probably be out in like a day though.

addy2hotty

01-03-2007, 02:16 PM

To be fair, only one of the PCS videos include a ring, and if we avoid that one - what we are essentially watching is a comedy show starring some wrestlers.

I mean, say you watch Gremlins 2 right, forgetting that Hogan was in it, how gutted would you be? You have broken the contest rules unwittingly. I think we should view the PCS clips as Gremlins 2, NOT wrestling.

Destor

01-03-2007, 02:18 PM

addy presents a strong argument. But by that standard any promo would be ok and promos are an essential part of wrestling...

The One

01-03-2007, 02:19 PM

It was aired on a wrestling program. It's out! How on god's green earth did I become the guy saying you can't watch Nash videos?

And CCm you're not in because I am still banking on Blitz to kill himself, but I am hoping he kills you right before offing himself. Therefore via the Bob Backlund death ruling, you can not partake in this contest. Plus, I suspect you to be a terrorist, and I support America. :yes:

Not gonna work CC, I already have been in TOVO's Nash Thread so I could move CSL's video to the first main post. I resisted then, and I will resist now. You are powerless...

Nervous Ferret

Can I be in? I haven't watched wrestling besides Monday since last April. And I don't plan on starting anytime soon.

And if it does, do WWE ppv comercials count? Cause I see those all the time

addy2hotty

01-03-2007, 02:23 PM

No, no, any segments done in a ring - NOT ALLOWED. Any segments done in the back of an arena - NOT ALLOWED. The PCS segments give you the impression that they aren't done in the arena, but are recorded before the shows at the KEVIN NASH SOUNDSTAGE (TM). I say ALLOWED to that.

This really is a contest for people who still watch, make a better argument and I will put you in.

Also, NerF brings up a good point, commercials are ok. If you seek them out, it is forbidden, but we can not control what ads are aired during other TV shows. Same goes for flipping through the stations, but if you pause to watch any of it before hitting the next button, you're out.

Destor

01-03-2007, 02:27 PM

And addy, the answer is still no. You can not watch any portion of a wrestling program, regardless of it's setting or filming location.

Although I believe you to have lost your mind, and was confident about convincing you on the PCS, I'll abide by your rules...

I never lose. In addition, its just the PCS I will miss, the rest, meh.

The One

01-03-2007, 02:36 PM

Yeah, PCS was really the only thing that kept me watching...that and the occasional CM Punk match, but I havn't watched a RAW or SmackDown in who knows how long...

01-03-2007, 02:36 PM

And by the way, you WILL lose this time...

Of course the honors system is in use, but I highly doubt everyone still in contention has abided by the rules. I'm not making accusations specifically, but the chances are someone will lie.

Jeritron

01-15-2007, 06:38 AM

I just wish I entered. So I could see how long I'd actually go

The One

02-12-2007, 09:36 PM

I'm out. Lasted almost a month and a half. Lost by accident. I was popping in old VHS tapes (just to see what was on them) when I came across one of RAW from 1996. I watched it or a half hour before I remembered I was in this contest. :( Well it was a hell of a streak...

NOW SOMEONE FIND ME ALL THE TNA NASH MOMENTS I'VE MISSED!

Indifferent Clox

02-12-2007, 09:47 PM

You aren't the only one who's been foiled by old raw tapes. Happens to Triple A all the time.

And By 'been foiled by' i meant 'masturbated to' and by 'raw tapes' I meant Gay porn.

It is a sad state of affairs where people who only talk to each other about wrestling decide to have a contest to see who can stay away from it the longest. You guys are actually missing some decent stuff right now.

I haven't watched wrestling since last May sometime. But since I won this contest and WRESTLEMANIA is coming up, I guess I will start again. PLUS I love John Cena xOxOXOXOXOXOX

They are putting on some good TV right now. I'm pretty excited for Raw on Thursday.

Mister Sinister

I still haven't watched it since the contest started...Xbox Live kills any throughts of switching over to watch wrestling.

Kane Knight

02-15-2007, 08:43 AM

No, but even their hype can't move me right now. That is a pretty good indication (along with spoilers).

Fucking awful, but not all of us can be so easily amused by shiny objects.

:lol: What a copout.

Anybody Thrilla

02-15-2007, 02:56 PM

Copout from what? Were we arguing? I just thought it was odd that a bunch of people on an wrestling board decided to have a contest to see who could stop watching wrestling. Then I said I thought the show was decent. Then you decided that it wasn't decent, and I thought that may not be the most fair assessment since YOU HAVEN'T ACTUALLY BEEN WATCHING. Then you insulted my intelligence for stating an opinion, based on pretty much nothing at all, and I told you that I didn't see the relevance in discussing something that doesn't interest you, and now I'm 'copping out'.

All right, guy. You're so smart, you don't even need logic to belittle people. Real cool, man.

Kane Knight

02-15-2007, 04:01 PM

On the whole logic thing, I don't particularly have to stick my hand in a puddle to know it's wet. I know "yeah, whatever," But really, it's true. I'm interested enough in the product you claim I don't like to keep looking, but not enough to keep watching when I can plainly see I'm getting more of the same. I think it's idiotic, not to mention completely illogical to assert that you need to have actually spent the 5+ hours a week watching to know whether or not you would have enjoyed it.

But, I mean, Hey, I'm the illogical one for not watching programming I can see won't entertain me, I guess.

Short list of examples:

Is Lashley still champ?
Is Cena still champ?
Is Batista still champ?
Do we still have the Boogeyman, the Undertaker, and the Miz on TV?
Do we have Michaels and Cena as tag champs on Raw?
Is there an actual Women's competition?
Is Masters still around?
Do we have Vampires and Wild beasts on ECW?
Is Punk featured?All these are elements of disinterest to me. A lot of them are heavily featured. I don't know why I'd have to watch a series of pissbreak segments to decide it wasn't good.

Yep. My assessment was so unfair.
