Here's what happened, 08 sucked balls, 90% of the roster left and returned at some point. If the game (the heart of ocw...let's face it) if the game sucks balls, it's the trickle down theory from that point on, people won't want to play it, people hate playing it, quality of gameplay lacks, people lose interest, then you have what we have now. 50% of the roster remaining, and another 50% lookin to return in January. A whole ppv worth of fuckin returns, waaaa fucking hooo.
How can you have the passion and desire to compete, if you hate the game you're playing? I feel 08 (at the most) showed how a good portion of people can work together to, at least, make a super shitty game work for us, for the time being. Now, 09, the rebirth of competition. No more 'having to get someone dy before a strong grapple'. No more 'hulkin up' 3 min into the match for the fuck of it. No, it's straight up video game wrestling competition, and I'm well aware that 09 will be eerily similar to 07, and I fucking mark my balls off for it.
And why the christ do we have to listen what Nick, Mayhem and Bold have to say about this? If you like the idea of SvR 09, and the return of competition so much, get in character, and prepare to come back for 09 you sons of bitches!! {hint fucking hint ;) }
