So how is that much different from now? In your original post, you basically said that the new ECW needs all hardcore all the time. Now you're saying it should focus on hardcore, which is a much more reasonable argument.

But frankly, right now, they already have a mix of hardcore matches and non-hardcore ones.

It's just that they've toned down the hardcore matches because they don't want wrestlers injuring each other or shortening their shelf life as workers in the company. In past arguments, you've referred to that sort of thing as "Vince caring for his workers." Now you want to bust out the chainsaws and have people mutilate each other?

It's things like that that make people call you a dumbass. And you can act high and mighty and above name calling all you like, but the fact that you consistently have holes in your arguments doesn't speak much toward your favor, and the fact that you continue to ignore your own holes and simply brush other people off as being stubborn basically invites you toward insult.

It's amazing you haven't figured this out already, but then again, I've already marked you out as one of those stereotypical Americans who refuse to admit they're wrong and never take responsibility for anything, preferring instead to believe that they're always right and that the world must adhere to them.
