Full Archive
So here's the deal, boys and girls. I'm finally upgrading my video game system as my birthday present to myself this year, and although I haven't decided between PS3 or XBox 360 quite yet, I'm definitely going with one of them. But being that they don't give them away free Ineed to finance this little transaction, and that's where you come in.
Although I sold the complete WWE archives to great success, people have since been asking when the rest of the archive is coming, and my answer was always that it's a long and arduous process to convert to PDF. But I figured that most people probably didn't care about that anyway so I should just dump it all in a big zipped archive and be done with it. So I did.
So here's the deal: You download the big 13MB file linked above, send $20 to me via Paypal at skeith@gmail.com, and I send you the password for hours of reading pleasure. And here's what you get:
- The complete WWE/F archive in Word format, including all the RAW, Smackdown and DVD reviews.
- The complete WCW archive in Word or TXT format (depending on the original file),including PPV, Thunder and Clash of Champions archives, plus the lost WCW book proposal from 2000.
- The complete ECW archive in Word or TXT format
- The complete TNA archive (such as it is)
- The complete ROH archive (again, such as it is)
- All of my 24/7 rants to date
- The complete AWA archive (not much, but still it's all there)
- All of my DVD reviews for 411/InsidePulse (or at least as many as I still have on the hard drive)
- All of my attempts at fiction, like the World Hero Federation and How I Spent My Armageddon.
- All of the articles for Fighting Spirit Magazine in their original, unedited form.
- All of my Netcop Rants, including King Lear, Lazarus, For The Want of a Nail and other various news updates I did for sites like Emzee.
- All of my lame TV rants for shows like Prison Break and Rock Star and Ultimate Fighter.
- Finally, a big directory of Other Stuff with assorted one-off wrestling PPVs like Heroes of Wrestling, XPW tapes, I-Generation, Women of Wrestling, Girls Gone Wild. Oh, and the complete unedited manuscript for The Buzz on Pro Wrestling, which is so long out of print that I doubt anyone would care if I sold it here.
One word of warning: The newer stuff (pretty much anything from 2007 onwards) is written in Word 2007 format, which shows up as a .docx file and can't be read without either Word 2007 or a standalone reader from Microsoft.
So there you go, $20 gets you everything I've got to sell, and if 20 people are interested then I can buy a PS3 and start enjoying Grand Theft Auto just like the rest of the world. And hopefully now people can stop bugging me.

How long are you offering this for?
This will be an ongoing thing.
Hey everyone the password is…. haha just kidding
Awright, “haha just kidding” worked! Thanks!
Huzzah I just sent the paypal and should ge the password soon. PLEASE tell me that this includes that e-fed/fantasy booking/whatever it was with “Hulk Hogan sings every song EVER!” That was the best. If now upload it for us NOW.
As I said in my paypal message, get the Xbox first. I own both (and a Wii) and the PS3 still doesn’t have that great of a library of exclusive games, and x-box live has a lot of great games, the PS3 equivilant, not so much. Personally I say get a Wii too before the PS3, but that’s just me. You can get your GTA fix on the Xbox, and the Wii has some great exclusives like Smash Brothers, Mario Brothers Galaxy, and Mario Kart.
The PS3 has………………………Resistance?
Unfortunately my WCWF stuff, where I worked out all my weirdness and stupid jokes, is lost to history because I don’t have the original files and I didn’t post them to RSPW.fantasy. I should note that the stuff you’re thinking of was from the very end of the run, where I was bored with the whole e-fed concept and was just doing free association jokes to see how many people I could annoy with stuff like Shane Douglas selling ad space on his body and Hulk Hogan doing infomercials for extra cash.
Do Word 07 files open in Open Office? (not that it really matters – Word Reader is probably still a free download from microsoft.com)
.docx can be read in prior versions of Word with a free MS download.
BTW: GTA on the 360 has the better multiplayer (IMO), plus Live is very, very nice. Downside on the 360 is that there is no God of War, but conversely, PS3 has no Halo or Gears
Why not just go with a Wii?
I’m with this guy. The majority of games that used to be either X-Box or PS-exclusive can be had on a Wii, the Virtual Console is the greatest thing to come to video gaming since sliced bread, and that way you won’t be supporting idiots like Microsoft who put out hardware that one time out of two has a terminal case of the gargoyles, or fascists like Sony who have the conceit to treat their customer base like third-world citizens just because everything they make (even if it has defective buttons by design or exposes your computer to fraud) is “perfect”. Top-end graphics are really fucking overrated.
Sorry, but where is the link?
Nevermind
[...] – For those who haven’t seen yet, since I haven’t done a RAW rant in forever, you can now purchase my entire rant archive from 1993-2008 by checking out this link. [...]
“then I can buy a PS3 and start enjoying Grand Theft Auto just like the rest of the world. And hopefully now people can stop bugging me.”
Like the rest of the world, you’ll enjoy GTA 4 for a couple hours then wonder what all the fuss was about.
Watch Yahtzee’s reviews of it.
Hi Scott,
How do updates to the archive work? For instance, all of the new Legacy rants and ppv re-rants you’ve done, will you be adding those to a new archive with the same password so that those of us who’ve already paid can add them to what we already have?
DAMMIT! IF ONLY THIS WERE FREE!
