Bleacher Report Wrestling Community: Why I Need You To Be Better...

LOS ANGELES, CA - MAY 05:  Male burlesque dancer Cassandro performs at the Lucha Vavoom Cinco de Mayan! show at the Mayan Theater on Cinco de Mayo, May 5, 2009 in Los Angeles, California. Lucha Vavoom combines elements of theatrical Mexican masked wrestling shows known as  Lucha Libre with American burlesque. Cinco de Mayo, or May Fifth in Spanish, celebrates the unlikely victory of 5,000 ill-equipped Mestizo and Zapotec Indians led by General Ignacio Zaragoza over the the much better-equipped French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862 in Puebla, Mexico. In the US, Cinco de Mayo is often mistakenly equated with Mexican Independence which was on September 16, 1810.  (Photo by David McNew/Getty Images) (Photo by David McNew/Getty Images)

Ok, I am taking a short hiatus from my ermmm hiatus, to express my views and displeasure about a number of things......

I recently read an article, which I consider to be a fairly decent article. The author, who I will refer to only as Andreaa Clair, makes some very valid and interesting points regarding criticism, criticism and cyber-bullying.

This is an interesting topic to me, as I was recently accused of being a "cyber-bully".

My Crime?

I dared to criticise an author's article.

My reasons were very valid. I thought the articles were dull, I thought they were unnecessary and most of all, I wanted to see more from the author.

The author herself, Celeste, took the criticism for what it was worth. She noted my points, expressed similar concerns about how her series of articles were burying her better efforts and then produced a piece of work that was excellent.

Celeste's reaction was mature, good natured and very welcome. The complete opposite can be said for a group of "writers" who I will refer to as PALRTTGAID.

(Pathetic Arse Licking Retards Trying To Get An Internet Date)

PALRTTGAID seemed to band together to ridicule my comments, accuse me of bullying, and basically act like a bunch of whiny pathetic children.

I have three things to say to you people.

1. I do not, and will never, give a rat's bottom about any of your replies.

2. Miss Winchester will never go on a date with you.

3. Stop "helping yourself" to the grainy images of Trish Stratus in a thong. Mommy is getting mad at having to clean the computer screen.

Now this did get me thinking.

Where the hell was PALRTTGAID when I was criticising Joe Burgett and Adrian Staheekekelllelee*7$5!

Could it possibly be that the thought of sitting in a tree house holding hands with Joe and Adrian isn't as appealing as the image of Celeste sharing your cupcakes?

Joe Burgett and Adrian Staheehhaleelehe@4@%& are two writers who I often comment on. Joe especially will concur that I have often been very critical of his work.

Joe may also have noticed that I haven't commented on any of his work in quite a while.

The reason?

Joe has improved. Just like I want Adrian to improve.

Just like I want all of you to write good, interesting articles.

I will tell you why.

We are not all blessed with live Raw on a Monday, ECW on a Tuesday and Smackdown on a Friday.

I live in a part of the world where the wrestling coverage isn't as substantial as in the States or Britain.

We have to deal with infrequent showings and a time delay.

To give you a rough idea, Macho Man Randy Savage is described as "One for the future" where I am.

I may have exaggerated a little bit, but to say I am deprived of wrestling coverage is a vast understatement.

That is why I rely on other sources to get my wrestling fix. Here on Bleacher Report, I thought I had found it.

Interesting articles and reviews kept me up to date with what was going on and helped me figure out what I needed to specifically look for on Youtube.

Unfortunately, I have seen the wrestling community decline somewhat in recent months.

The interesting, thought provoking articles have been replaced by endless fantasy dungeons and dragons-type games, the first of which were fairly entertaining..
