Meh. This isn't here for you to leave me feedback. You can if you want though. However, I thought I better state that this wasn't an attack on the 'Make A Wish' foundation and the work they do. It's was more a byproduct of WWE's attempt to work it into their little plan last night. I just didn't like the whole idea of it being used as an impetus to simply start feuds and storylines. It just seemed (for lack of a better word) a bit mercenary.

What is "it is not a tumor" from?
Also, I didn't want to say anything before when you did it before cause I figured Seth would, but you're not supposed to use other people's characters in your RPs. (Ragnal) I don't see it in the rules but he didn't put a lot of things that the "veterans" already know.
Low blow, by the way.

www.whoathereangrybear.comMike Ragnal is pressing charges on JoB for defamation of character. no word on if Jack will accept the charges. Kidding. Seriously, though, I don't mind the use of a character, except if it's very out of character (As such is the RP) or not something I would do. Not bad, though.

I didn't think you would, I'm just saying that's not something you're supposed to do.
That and make reference to a handler rather than a character. I mean, I personally don't mind that either, I can receive cheap shots all day (and as often as he RPs I probably will) but as talented as he has shown himself to be, he doesn't need to be doing that. Plus that's generally considered poor sportsmanship and would mean an instant loss in a lot of cases. I don't think that's going to happen here since I guess C.D. is calling the winners on this one, though either way I would like to ask that he doesn't get disqualified for anything.

Well, hence the question mark added to the names of the speakers. Ragnal(?) and Sasha(?) are never actually seen on-screen and its generally implied that they're not the actual characters.

Yeah, just like the Creeping Death one, I could pretty much definitely tell it wasn't supposed to be the real characters.
Anyway, I don't think the Make A Wish thing last night was so bad, assuming it was a real kid. If it was an actor, then thats kinda low. But it wasn't done in poor taste whatsoever so I liked it.

I'm not at all adverse to the kid being there and being involved but it was just a bit...meh, it's probably just me being cantankerous.

I didn't see it, but maybe his wish was to be involved in a wrestling segment?

I was thinking about this in the shower, but if I got my wish to be on a wrestling show, I think I'd specifically request that a heel attack me. Because thats about the most heelish thing anyone could do.

I think everybody was scared to do it. You do something like that, that could become a nomination for Wrestlecrap's Gooker Award.

Well, I wasn't advocating that he got attacked! Eh, I don't know anymore. Something was just off about it.

Yeah, I just meant if I was the kid, I'd have wanted to be attacked.

So, I've been thinking about this whole thing. I'm not at all directly adverse to the kid appearing on the show nor was this an attack on the charity itself. They've done great work and I don't think anyone can really defy their cause. I'm guessing the kid enjoyed himself and I've heard he's not an actor (also, his kid brother is part of the Make-A-Wish foundation as well, I'm told from Wrestling-Edge) so, I think my central complaint was that I thought (on watching it) that it was just going to be a way to engineer Mick Foley's rumoured GM push. But, with that said, Mickles is well known for his support of the charity.
Either way, I think the RP did its job of spoofing/satirizing those only interested in such charities for utilitarian fashions. If I watch it again, I may feel different about the whole thing but at the moment, I'm just glad that the kid got to do that.
