| RT : Introducing this 3-min survey.
Your participation will help our understanding of wrestling fans' media habits & company favorability.
Knowing fan groups can be over- & under-represented, I'm making an effort to distribute broadly. RTs appreciated.

| [+] [–] Got some interesting messages today. I've been largely blissfully unaware about the State of Recapping Wrestling Shows on the Internet, and that appears to have been the correct course of action. (A POINTLESS THREAD OF 11 TWEETS)18.6.20 21:46 | | Since I was a big deal in the "text" era of the Internet, no, nobody ever sent me nudes. Pretty sure I ended up marrying the only woman I ever sexually harrassed, but she might have a different story now that we're divorced. |
18.6.20 21:46 | | I was always incredibly lucky that writing recaps was never my "primary" thing, even if it looked that way on the Internet - I always had a well-paying job that allowed me to pretty much call my own shots since nobody was paying me for it. |
18.6.20 21:46 | | I believed then (AND now!) that it was only a combination of my attention to detail and my insane desire to turn things around overnight that made me so popular - practically any idiot with any decent writing ability could do what I did |
18.6.20 21:46 | | ...but they couldn't do it as quickly with that level of detail. (And yeah, occasionally I'd get a good zinger and/or gimmick I could run deep, deep into the ground.) |
18.6.20 21:46 | | My last "full-time" recap was for RAW at the end of October, 2002. Think about that - SEVENTEEN YEARS AGO. Pretty sure the first SmackDown I didn't recap (airing later that week) was the one where John Cena dressed up as Vanilla Ice...and the rest was history (I didn't write). |
18.6.20 21:46 | | Occasionally I'd come back here and there and do some stuff - I think I did 13 weeks of ECW and not sure how many weeks of Ring of Honor on HDNet - but time had passed me by and video made my old-style text recaps (which were NOT as timely) largely obsolete |
18.6.20 21:46 | | I did do an entire season of "Jersey Shore" WITH screen caps and they may have been some of the finest writing I ever did which barely anybody read. Even if you read them now, the excruciating detail will make you think you've seen the episodes even if you haven't |
18.6.20 21:46 | | Anyway, there's me talking about ol' CRZ for however many tweets this was. Tell your friends. If my follower account suddenly surges about 2,000 I will be suitably ego-stroked to.....well, probably not tweet MORE, but who can say. |
18.6.20 21:46 | | Mostly, I'm sorry it sounds like everybody sucks and used their power for evil. I still think I can claim I haven't, but I await inevitably being proven wrong. FIN |
18.6.20 21:46 | | PS Pretty sure all of my long-time close personal friends still doing the thing (@jmshapyro @thecubsfan/@luchablog @tapemachines) remain scandal-free, with the possible exception of @ryderfakin - oh and @OOWrestling, of course! So give them all a follow if you aren't already |

| Ha! Accurate. |
25.5.20 03:38 |
| Why on earth did somebody blur out the "Superstars of Wrestling" banner?? |
21.5.20 22:10 |
| Maaaaaaaaaaaaan I would have run that nickname into the ground back in the day if only I'd have known about it |
8.5.20 18:35 |
| Rhode Island, 1986 |
22.4.20 19:35 |
| Nice to meet you, Alex/Marcus. I'm CRZ. Yes, I got jokes. See, Jake Atlas and Tony Atlas are really BROTHERS RT : Is this a joke? |

| At this taping, Backlund finally did clap the CFCW on Savage, which was supposed to be the final "get that hold over" segment but for whatever reason, Vince decided against using it. |
25.8.19 17:26 |
| "Best dropkick in the business!" is the only thing I'm sure anyone in WWF ever appropriated from me |
20.8.19 02:05 |
| Absolutely Big V's finest wheel kick ever and I pop every time. Jericho later said this was the match that made him think about quitting but they're both so great in it. And of course somehow I'd gotten comped to be there live to watch it myself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDXXZvXmGv8 |
20.8.19 00:50 |
| I've got a killer Viscera/Jericho HeAT match for you when I get home |
15.8.19 17:11 |
| Well, it was taped...with soundalike drop-ins for the name
What $9.95 gets ya: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDaAkdl3d1I />
I'll never forget this segment |
15.8.19 16:08 |
| I KNEW that was coming! But in 2019 what I notice the most is how much I love young Mike Chioda's placid lack of reaction |
13.8.19 01:54 |
| Ya know, I don't get to link to 25+ year old r.s.p-w threads enough: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/rec.sport.pro-wrestling/5AECZ-OrXfk/sBc3A3cUCccJ |

25.9.18 20:06 |
| Ya know, for a mill and a half I'd even recap a match I WOULDN'T want to see (and people would probably prefer it that way anyway) RT : if the Prince wants Bret Hart vs Big Show and he wants YOU to recap it, would you accept $1.5 million to do it |
25.9.18 20:03 |
| Sure, I could try to work up.... at least $750K worth of sly puns |
25.9.18 19:46 |
| I like to call him MbS because it looks cool |
12.8.18 13:24 |

1. It's been done

3.8.18 19:50 |

16.4.18 19:51 |
| But seriously, whatever DID happen to me, folks RT : Not sure if this is or , but were there any other dorks out there who followed 90s wrestling on Sportsline with that CRZ (?) guy, who dubbed WWF "the World Entrance Federation?" Whatever happened to that dude? |
6.4.18 13:35 |
| Of COURSE I tagged the wrong The Rick. He's actually . |
6.4.18 13:26 |
| Wow!
TWENTY YEARS since the first shows I recapped for Mike and - and YOU, the loyal WrestleManiacs dot com visitor!
Thanks for thinking fondly of me as a writer, recapper and very, VERY minor celebrity on the Internet.

| Look, Hyatte, you know I love you but I just can't give you any more money until I'm done paying the alimony. That's just how it is. RT : What Would Jesus Do during the ? Christ vs Satan during the ? This bit is so old has no Twitter link! This is a column that loser tried to rip off, and everyone called him out on it.
