Scott’s Blog of Doom

Scott:
Faithful reader and occasional blog commenter (nt3) here. I know you’re always down for a plug, so here goes it:
My friend is trying to get the word out on his short film, "The Wingman: Bingo Night Creepin’," that is currently up on YouTube and, with any luck, will turn into some kind of recurring YouTube series. The idea is that completely hopeless guys call on a professional wingman to help them get women. The film can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDt3FcwM9wQ
Anyway, he used me as an extra for an extended closing credit sequence, where I appear as one such "hopeless guy." And the BEST PART is that one of your books (Wrestling’s One Ring Circus) has a cameo as set dressing in my character’s apartment. You can see it in the upper right hand corner of the very first picture. That video can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqkbwxIWbmc
Sadly the shot of me actually reading the book got cut. If we ever film another one, I’ll make sure to get a copy of Dungeon of Death (available November 2008 at a bookstore near you!) even more prominently featured.
Thanks,
Neil

 

You know how to speak my language, Neil.

Hey Scott. I have a new website called www.tdaddysmooth.com. it’s a site where I review one match everyday. I go over the background of both guys, and then I give my opinion on what psychology they were going for during the match. I also have this cool addon called google analytics. You can sign up at google.com/analytics. It’s really cool because it gives you all types of info on your site such as how many people visit, where from, how long they stay etc. I hope you like both sites.

Google coming up with another cool toy?  No shock there.

Yo Netcop,

I saw that you had posted some youtube links, and thought that it might be proper if

you would post a link to this video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqCmk8kC9X0 "I’m Sorry…I Love you"

Basically, a tribute I had made back in May and is re-cut and re-edited using WWE footage and PWI pics.

Thanks

Careful about using WWE footage, but otherwise very nice, good job.

Hi there, hope you are well.

Here’s something you and your readers can enjoy, Scott. If you haven’t already been turned on to it, there is a fellow over on youtube doing a bunch of wrestler tribute videos which are really good. He definitely knows what he’s doing. Although you can argue about some of the rankings (I can already hear you screaming about the Midnight Express), they work a lot better if you just look at them as a nice slice of tributes/memories, whether you like the wrestler or not.

Here’s #’s 250 & 249 to get you started. He’s already done almost 150, so I’d say it’s a good bet for him to finish the list.

Enjoy!

 

Thank you, I shall.

Hey Scott,
Well since you seem to be in a plugging mood, I thought it wouldn’t hurt to ask if you would mind extending the same favor to me. Last April I started one of the biggest changes in my life when I tried to lose weight (one of many, many times in my life). Something actually stuck, and since then I lost 73 pounds, and made tons of positive changes in my life. I’ve now started to document those changes in an attempt to keep myself motivated, but also to hopefully help anyone else out who may be going through the same thing. I like to think of it as a weight loss blog for the average guy. Anyways, any plug would be greatly, greatly appreciated.

Good job!  Hope the blog works out.

Hey Scott,
Long time reader, first time doing the request thing. I know how you like to help out in pimping various projects for your readers, well, I guess it’s my turn. Finished a Documentary on Street Promotions and was hoping you could give the plug for the trailer…

Comes out September 1st.
Appreciate your help…oh, and a question I always wanted to ask…
Why not lost? You watch 24 and Prison Break and House and so on, but your missing out on the show that just could be better then all those shows combined. (and yes, that includes House). So what’s the deal?
Thanks,
Rob

 

Because the concept has never interested me, simple as that. 

Hi, Scott.  First, thanks for many years of reading pleasure.  You have I have similar tastes in wrestling, so you’ve pretty much singlehandedly kept me interested in the business when the business itself couldn’t.
I have a small request.  Years ago, I begged you a couple of times for your long-promised rant on the Best of Starrcade VHS set.  You delivered, and based on that I bought the tapes on eBay.
Now I’m without steady work and auctioning off things to raise money, including that same Best of Starrcade set, plus lots of comics and stuff.  A plug for this particular on-topic auction would be hugely appreciated.  If I raise enough, I’ll even return the favor by buying your rant archive.

Truly, you speak my language.  Buy the book, too, and it’s a deal!

Scott,

Longtime Reader, yadda, yadda, yadda, got the books, yadda, yadda, yadda, Wondering about plug, yadda, yadda, yadda.  Seriously, I’ve started a blog featuring wrestling videos from YouTube.  I’m updating it daily with some of the best stuff I can find.  I’m also looking to add rare stuff and some clips of people that newer fans may not of even heard of (Ex. The Adrian Street Video).  I’ve been a fan for 25 years and want to share those old memories with the modern fans and such.  I hope you can give it a plug and check it out occassionally yourself.  It’s at http://www.youtubewrestling.blogspot.com

I highly encourage and appreciate comments on the selections as well.  I’ve also added your RSS feed to the blog.

 

Good idea, and I wish you the best.

Hey Scott, I know you enjoyed the first installment, so here’s Part Two:

Featuring the men of RAW!

I only enjoyed it in a manly, heterosexual way.  Plus I laughed really hard at the joke about HHH’s moustache.  BUT THAT’S IT.

Hey Scott, thought I’d throw a plug your way for a message board that I frequent which we’ve been trying to get active again.  Would appreciate it if you put it on your blog!
"Are you tired of message boards being based solely around one topic and one topic only? Do you want to have a place to just kick back, relax and talk about random things? Guess what? You’ve just described Entertainment-Central. E-C for short, it’s come a long way since it’s rebirth in 2004. A great group of regular members would benefit from new and differing opinions.
Want to talk about sports? Video games? Computers? Music? Do it at E-C.

That’s some pitch there.
