Very good idea Millenium. Is it possible if someone posts a TV show results in here that maybe they could put a SPOILER tag above it just so if we are reading rumors were not spoiling any TV shows?

I think the best way to go about this thread, and I think Millennium would agree with me, is to make it somewhat of a "No-Holds Barred" type of thread. Post whatever the hell you want, be it spoilers, "news" you get from the dirt sheet, etc. This is the place for it, meaning there is no other place for it.

As such, tags like "spoiler" won't really be necessary because it will be understood that by even viewing this thread, you run the risk of having a storyline spoiled.

Ok, that makes sense.

Re: The OS WWE 'Dirt'/Spoilers Thread

Personally I think there should be a whole wrestling "rumors" sub-forum for all brands of wrestling.

Because some people may like to read about the rumored goings ons back stage (i.e. HHH hates Cena, Orton is a crack head) but they may not want to hear about results spoilers (Iron Sheik to return fulltime, Snitsky to beat Hogan at wrestlemania).

plus, with different threads, people can discuss the plausibility of different rumors without accidently seeing some spoilers that they didnt want to.

I barely post in this forum as is, but I figure that this may help clean it up a little more, instead of relegating all of the "trash" to one thread.

Just wondering what people think?

I agree. I regularly lurk the wrestling forums and I dont think it makes much sense to regulate all dirt and spoilers in one thread. IMO, it'll just cause confusion when one looks at such a large thread with possibly 3 or 4 discussions going on at one time. I dont know why you guys have such a vendetta at eliminating dirt, its all apart of the overall wrestling discussion is'nt it?

Agree in my opinion...Reading the bull crap them people write and say this and that after a show or before a show are much different then spoilers of a match. I love just reading b/s about what people make up or what could be true

But I dont like the idea of just reading some stuff then boom O yea Hogan beats Stone Cold at Backlash in 2 weeks

Sure obviously most people go on to those sites and read everything but Its like MLB, You like to read trade rumors and so on ..who doesnt? But wouldnt it suck tho if boom you knew who was gonna win th egame?

Re: The OS WWE 'Dirt'/Spoilers Thread

I thought this was a great idea when I first saw it, but now I have the same thoughts as Streets.

It's also kind of vague exactly what goes in here. There's a thread in the TNA forum about a two hour slot. That came from pwinsider if I'm not mistaken, but it surely isn't "dirt". What happens when I read some more about it in The Observer this weekend? Do I have to ignore that thread and post in the Dirt Thread?

There's also alot of free flowing conversations here. Look at the Warrior thread. Batista's "passion for the business" comes up. My post was what I read in a dirt sheet, but it fit in the conversation.

Are ratings dirt? Buyrates? When a release is announced on wwe.com, does the rest of thread get moved to this thread? As Graphik pointed out, it'll all lead to confusion.

I think an all encomposing sub-forum would be best. It'll be less confusing and just easier to get through. I know some people here want to completely eliminate this stuff, but you can't. Controlling it is fine because sometimes it does get out of hand (I've been guilty of this myself), but we can do better than a thread with vague guidelines.

I consider wwe.com the same as watching the product on TV. It's stuff the E wants us to know

I would assume that ratings and buyrates would be fine too, it's based on fact.

I think this topic is more for the "he said, she said" crap that's always on dirt sheets.

I think there should be two topics for this, one for the dirt sheet stuff, and another for spoilers, that way people who do like the dirt about HBK and Cena "not getting along" but don't want to know that HBK is winning the title at Backlash won't have their viewing pleasure ruined(I haven't heard anything about HBK winning at Backlash, or even getting a title shot lol, just made it up).

Ideally it would be nice to have a separate forum for all that crap, but if I remember right, it took a fight just to get TNA and WWE it's own forums, so I can't see spoilers/dirt getting it's own separate forum anytime soon
