Seriously though, does anyone wanna help with running TPWW
 
I haven't really followed or watched wrestling in like four years so updating the site doesn't really interest me, but I hate seeing it go to waste like it is. It still gets like 3,000 different unique visitors a day somehow despite the fact that there hasn't been any regular updated content in months.

So uh, I dunno. Someone spit out some possible ideas for what to do.

RP 11-26-2005 04:58 AM

update some shit

Afterlife 11-26-2005 05:06 AM

Seriously.

Triple A 11-26-2005 05:13 AM

I AM NOT GONNA UPDATE IT CAUSE I DON'T WATCH WRESTLING ANYMORE YOU FUCKING COCK. Like I said.

Other people need to update it or something, or else it is just gonna stay like this forever.

RemyRed 11-26-2005 05:14 AM

Get some reporters who have a personality. Also who report news frequently, unless you're the one posts the news while they just send it to you.

I'll volunteer.

What Would Kevin Do? 11-26-2005 05:47 AM

I can steal stuff off Nodq and post it... Hell, that's pretty much what I do on here anyway... I could probably review shit off wwe.com too.....

Fuck it, I'll help.

Tornado 11-26-2005 06:09 AM

Yeah I wouldn't mind doing it, i vist pretty much every days as it is.

Impact! 11-26-2005 08:13 AM

I'll do something if need be, I'm on here enough, and post news and stuff anyway.

Guardian Devil 11-26-2005 09:30 AM

Just sent you a quick PM, Triple A.

thecc 11-26-2005 09:35 AM

If someone is needed to write a few colums, I would volunteer to do so.

Post some fake news.

Jaton 11-26-2005 10:44 AM

Post fake news in a satirical way, and since this site has some kind of cred, people will take it as real news. :shifty:

Loose Cannon 11-26-2005 11:54 AM

well I can update a shit load of stuff on that front page that's outdated and add some new sections like TNA. And I'll get some guys here who I know would do a good job. But is there a way I could actually do it myself, so you wouldn't have to go in there and be the one changing everything?

Xero 11-26-2005 12:26 PM

Triple A would have to give you FTP access unless the newsboard is a CMS, in which case everything can be edited in a browser.

Nark Order 11-26-2005 03:38 PM

I vote LC

Cool King 11-26-2005 03:43 PM

I visit TPWW everyday.

So I wouldn't mind having a go at some stuff.:y:

Destor 11-26-2005 03:59 PM

I think he wanted ideas, not every one offering their help; but actual help.

My answer: Have someone steal news from other sites, and get some people like The One and Kayfabeman writing columns. Maybe even some more comedy pieces (like x number of things you do when watch to much wrestling, like that but different gimmicks.)

Jaton 11-26-2005 04:21 PM

TerranRich and I could do comedy!

Loose Cannon 11-26-2005 05:07 PM

Ideas

*In depth PPV Section on all WWE, WCW, TNA and ECW PPV's. And whatever else

*In depth Title history

*In depth Wrestling Profiles on guys

*Updates on all that shit on the front page (Trivia, Q & A)

*Updates or Reviews on Wrestling Products (figures, belts, DVD's, etc..)

*A page dedicated to the history of stables

*More Games/Contests for people to play

*Tribute sections for deceased superstars (and we could put random comments about them from readers of the site)

*And then news, results, columns and all that stuff being updated.

Funky Fly 11-26-2005 05:26 PM

So where were you all this time, LC? Or is AAA to blame for this one?

DaveWadding 11-26-2005 05:33 PM

I always thought that we could go with a 411 mania type set up, and I'd be willing to help, of course.

MVP 11-26-2005 05:37 PM

^Same here

Joey Slugs 11-26-2005 05:40 PM

we need KK to write his weekly news update for the main site.

KingofOldSchool 11-26-2005 06:23 PM

I want to do everything.

You've really hit the nail on the head there, thats exactly what we need to get this site back, about a year ago, when I joined the site was amazing, there was polls, bios, funny things. We need all that back.

I'll be willing to help with misc jobs that need doing, finding info etc.

Nervous Ferret 11-26-2005 09:09 PM

Steal the Rajah emoticons.

Nervous Ferret 11-26-2005 09:09 PM

=ratings. :yes:

samichna 11-26-2005 09:20 PM

Hire some people who can't tell the difference between "there", "their", and "they're".

Also, we need more columns about CHRIS BENIOT!!!!!!!!1

samichna 11-26-2005 09:21 PM

If I watched wrestling still, I could write a sick column, guaranteed.

AAA, I will watch wrestling again and write a column if you pay me.

mrslackalack 11-26-2005 11:01 PM

I like Loose Cannons ideas.

Optimistic T 11-27-2005 01:03 AM

Dude, I've been here for like a week or so. Just because you've had problems with Heyman, doesn't mean you need to insult me.

Anyway, I used to write a column at a small wrestling site back in the day as well as a column for my e-fed. I'm just saying I could help out is all. Me type good engrish.

Gertner 11-27-2005 03:08 PM

lol @ the front page news.

I think we could use more fireworks and things that blink. And we should get candy instead of reps.

Heyman is the goods. I'm basing everything off your sterling performance last night. :kiss:

Cool King 11-27-2005 05:16 PM

I could help out but having something called "Cool King's Corner".:cool:

And I just review RAW and PPV's and comment about them too. I'll also say who was the best on the night and who was worst. I can't do SmackDown! because I can't watch it. But I would do SmackDown! aswell if I could watch it.

Killjoy3:16 11-27-2005 07:07 PM

I think the site needs to be redesigned. I could help with that most definetaly.

You're basing it off my casual personality. Check the wrestling sections and see how many insults I throw around (besides that Canada one)

jindrak 11-27-2005 11:41 PM

Bring back Downtown Dave, Fred Venturini (of 'The Right Angle' fame), Mr. Monday Morning, and all of the old school columnists whose articles I looked forward to reading like a little school girl.

jindrak 11-27-2005 11:42 PM

Or 'borrow' some talent at 411. Eric Swiugzzfsdudsug and Larry Csnoka would be phenominal choices.

Loose Cannon 11-28-2005 12:04 AM

we don't need to bring back people or borrow people. We just need to get people here writing.

road doggy dogg 11-28-2005 12:32 AM

lol I thought you just said we don't need black people. In which case I'm inclined to agree anyway

Funky Fly 11-28-2005 12:43 AM

Et tu, RDD? :(

OT is a legend. He was the man that turned Rajah's forum into the "German Bondage Forum" complete with pretty pictures.

I am not convinced of this yet. 1 night's worth of posts is too little to form an opinion of someone anyway.

Dave Youell 11-28-2005 04:36 AM

Please! For the love of God!

Let me do something! I've been asking for 2 years now!

2 YEARS!

I really don't care what you want me to do, I just really want to be part of the team.

News reporting would probably be better for me, I know my grammar has been considered an issue in the past and I am trying to improve, I really am! If all else fails there's always spell check, you can always just fire me if i'm doing a bad job. But I promise i'll try to do the best job that I can for the site.

DaVe 11-28-2005 04:52 AM

DAVE YOUELL 4 REP(ORTING)

aaukaratekid20 11-28-2005 04:02 PM

i will help update the site i mean i watch everything so i can do it if i am needed

Loose Cannon 11-28-2005 04:07 PM

yea, just to let people know. If you barely post here, Triple A probably will not let you do anything.

Savio 11-28-2005 05:15 PM

Don't worry guys I asked AAA for the job I'll keep it updated

Funky Fly 11-29-2005 03:53 AM

2 posts and a red rep dot? Not gonna happen, kid.

Seriously though, Trips, just let Youell do something.

Joey Slugs 11-29-2005 04:02 AM

i could throw down something for TNA or a "This Week in History" type of deal.

Destor 11-29-2005 04:05 AM

I like the 'this week in wrestling history' deal. Informative and entertaining. I suggest you post one Joey so they can get a feel of the concept.

Impact! 11-29-2005 09:15 AM

I can just post random news bits

I do it anyway, and I'd like to help.

Nervous Ferret 11-29-2005 02:19 PM

LOL give Youell stuff to do but don't use it all.

jindrak 11-29-2005 08:32 PM

If I get the job, I'll post it on my resume that I'm a 'free-lance writer'.

Dave Youell 11-30-2005 03:42 AM

I agree with Ferret and Funky

KingofOldSchool 11-30-2005 11:36 AM

LET ME WRITE. :'(

Oh and bring back Derek Sabato so he can plug his tape tradng site.

Indifferent Clox 11-30-2005 04:04 PM

Nervous Ferret 11-30-2005 09:51 PM

he's been here since 1999. I'm sorry 4.0 :wavesad:

Indifferent Clox 12-01-2005 02:36 PM

yeah i used to be here under other names i've been doing this stuff for a while.. i don't know how [whatever type of rodent he is] knows the exact date.. or if that even is a correct figure.. but yeah.. also i'm a writer.. by trade.. and a wrestler .. by passion and trade..

Nervous Ferret 12-01-2005 02:39 PM

Im not a gay gerbil :mad:

JJ Moore 12-01-2005 05:45 PM

King Jericho 12-03-2005 12:35 PM

You know Dave's good for it. Give it to him.

Triple A 12-05-2005 01:08 AM

OK, if anyone sent me a PM about this, I totally just accidentally deleted all my PMs either because I am retarded or the forum screwed up or whatever. But yeah, I don't have your PMs anymore, so if you haven't replied in this thread about things, reply here or just PM me again if you want. Either way, but preferably the thread so everything's just in one thread BUT WHATEVER.

Tornado 12-05-2005 07:44 AM

I would like to help, don't what I could do as I don't actually watch wrestling anymore, due to lack of Sky Sports, but I still follow it pretty closley. I'm happy to something like live reviews of the UK Raw and Smackdown tapings etc, or post news etc.

Dave Youell 12-05-2005 08:54 AM

Let me and Tornado do it!

You have no UKers helping out at all, we are both loyal and have been doing the tipsters all year.

Pweaze!

redoneja 12-05-2005 11:30 AM

I would like to see Youell do something. I would be willing to do a Raw recap and analysis if you needed.

BigDaddyCool 12-05-2005 08:26 PM

you know, I've asked like a billion times before to help out, but no, lets no let bdc make the site the best ever. cock fag.

Bad Company 12-08-2005 06:44 AM

I could write a Column called "the intermittent fan" It's about someone who reads all the reports, rumors and info, but watches the show when I can.

It'd be hot.

Funky Fly 12-09-2005 04:04 AM

If BDC got someone to clean up all the grammar and spelling, he would put out the greetest column ever.

No-prize for spotting the spelling error.

Azriel 12-09-2005 10:19 AM

I'd offer to help, but I'm a follower, not a leader

James Steele 12-10-2005 12:09 PM

I'll help.

Taker Fan 12-15-2005 07:07 PM

Yep, I'd like to help if I could.

redoneja 12-15-2005 09:08 PM

Not to sound cynical or anything, but does it really matter if we start updating the site. I mean, the main thing on here is the forums, eeryone on here goes somewhere else for news and when news was posted on here, it was from somewhere else. IDK, I don't mean to sound like an ass, but I don't really see a point in starting to update again.

When I first came on here it was for themes, then I started checking out the news.

This place for a long time was my number one source for wrestling news till Trips lost the love. If someone keeps the news bits up to date, maybe people will start using it again more often.

Plus i'm sure he'll make more money from the adverts if more people hit the news pages compared to the forum.

Trips, any idea when you are going to make your mind up about this?

Destor 12-16-2005 02:01 PM

He forgot about this the day after he posted it Youell.

Evolution 12-17-2005 06:18 PM

I am volunteering to proof-read any articles/columns that wish to be submitted. I am also volunteering to donate more wrestling theme music. Lord knows we need some more, and this would save on bumping/recreating a wrestling theme thread in the forums.

JJ Moore 12-17-2005 09:45 PM

Just give the Youell a piece of the log Trips.

NeanderCarl 12-18-2005 12:30 PM

I remember when I first started looking at wrestling on the internet, in about 1998, TPWW was THE premier wrestling news site on the net. It was my major source of information.

It's quite sad to see it fall into a state of disrepair like this, and to see the godfather of internet newsboards, Triple A, give up on the wrestling business and his own creation, TPWW.net. It's like the rot thats set in to the wrestling business has spread so far down the chain that it's a shame.

Where's the passion gone? If wrestling doesn't interest you anymore, remember the days when it did and turn TPWW.net into the nets premier RETRO wrestling website. Reviews and features from back in the day, retrospective columns, just a tribute to the classic days, the glory years, the old-school website.

JJ Moore 12-21-2005 04:56 AM

lol, give the job to the guy above just in spite of Youell, plus he only has 30 posts.

Or how about give everyone who has applied, one week each to proove themseleves as worthy news reporter's sort of a X-Factor/American Ido, give's everyone a chance and whoever does the best job, give it to them.

Dave Youell 12-21-2005 05:03 AM

I think Trips has filled his quota for wrestling forum posts this year, we may hear something by say...March?

JJ Moore 12-21-2005 07:05 AM
