How will Chris Benoit’s death affect the wrestling industry?

Written by damiende on June 26, 2007 – 8:27 pm

First of all I want to say that I am getting more and more depressed as information gets out in the Benoit case.  It’s getting more and more crazy. They are now saying he killed his son with his finisher the crippler crossface. This is something that could have been taken out of a really bad horror movie.

I believe that the wrestling industry and steroid abuse will forever be linked in the mainstream media after this. And I think that it might be possible that there will be some serious investigating into the matter because of this. I don’t think that Benoit killed his wife and kids in a fit of roid rage. But I believe that steroid abuse could be part of the explanation of this tragedy.  Along with a serious mental illness.  And this is where the wrestling industry will come in. I say wrestling industry because Wwe is not the only wrestling company out there. Tna in my opinion are not that different from Wwe when it comes to wrestlers using steroids.  So if there is some sort blowup on the matter, Tna should be in there along with Wwe.  The list of wrestlers that has died way to young is just to long. It’s about time something happens. And I think this might be the thing that starts to turn things around. I might be naive to think that something would change because of this. But so be it.

Until next time

I’ll give Everquest II a try

Written by damiende on June 7, 2007 – 4:15 pm

Right now I am downloading Trial of the Isles. It’s a huge download, and it says that it got 6 more hours until its finished downloading. A few years back they offered everquest as a free download. And I actually downloaded and tried it. I never quite liked it. The graphics were good but I thought it was to hard to grasp the basics of what to do. I have also tried Anarchy Online and Project Entropia. Both of these I didn’t like. Anarchy Online had a user interface that were to “messy” And I didn’t like the grapics of Project entropia.

The first game I really played was FFXI, say what you want about how party oriented or how long you are LFP. I think it has a easy to learn interface. And for the most part a great playerbase that helps each other. The first player I partied with as a newbie was Pius.

After one year of FFXI I tried World of Warcraft. And that’s what I have been playing since. I have heard alot of positive things about EverquestII and that’s why I want to give it a try. Maybe it’s something I’ll end up playing. And maybe not. Time will tell.

Until next time

Not to shabby

Written by damiende on June 5, 2007 – 8:21 pm

Quite a bit of visitors are passing by each day. In average 50 visitors each day. That’s not to bad considering the fact that I have only posted the link to the blog on two sites. Only one response to my posts. But that will change over the next few weeks, when I get linked on more and more sites out there.

Hell I migth have to join Allakhazam again just to get more visitors here. They were such a friendly bunch last time I was posting there.

Well I think it’s time for bed.

Until next time

I really like wordpress

Written by damiende on June 1, 2007 – 6:47 pm

I have tried various publisher systems like Joomla and Mambo. And Wordpress beats the crap out of them with it’s easy way to set it up and change things. I have tried different themes And this is the one I think I am going for. One of the main reasons is that I finally found a theme that doesnt mess up in Firefox. So this one is set for the time beeing.

Before I go to bed its time for some more poker.  Got some spare change I want to use up.

Until next time
