Give Hate A Chance
From A Fan Standpoint, It's Good To Dislike Somebody

Hello from the Pacster.

Mere days away from NWO (Good to see that they're finally able to call it that again, instead of "The Valentines Day Massacre) and Yours Truly is gearing up the event. Not only will I be back from Istanbul, but I'll have friends and family in tow for what will clearly be the best PPV of the century, if not all time, everywhere!


My NWO Signs. Study them. Love them.

What, ME a Hypocrite?
Some folks have wondered how I can defend our Dread Lord and Master, Triple H so vehemently, yet attack Austin using the same arguments that folks ususally use against H. It's simple: Austin deserves it. Brewhahahahahahaha!

Bear with me a moment while I relate a story. I promise they're be a point at the end. Maybe.

A few years back a friend of mine invited me to a Superbowl party. I declined, as I'd never watched a football game before in my life. I told him it'd be boring for me, because I wouldn't know who to root for. He replied with epic wisdom that has changed my life:


"Don't root for anybody. Pick a team to hate, and cheer against them. It doesn't matter why- maybe you think their mascot is goofy. Maybe you don't like the color of their helmets. Flip a coin; who cares what the reason is- just pick one, then spend the game anticipating their destruction."

Vicarious Revenge
Wrestling is the same way. While it's important to have a Hero, it's equally important to have a Filthy No Good Bastard that you want to see bleed. There really doesn't have to be a reason. You wanna know why I REALLY hate Steve Austin? It's because I was born and raised in a two-bit redneck town, and I fought my whole life not to end up a Domestic Beer Drinkin', Pickup Truck Drivin', Bird Flippin' Pinhead like Austin's character. And yes, I know it's a character- That's why I feel good about hating him. He's fictional, so hating him is fun.

So, at NWO, I'll be cheering for the Cerebral Assassin to beat the hell out of the Texas Rattlesnake. I'll take "Smart" over "Redneck" any day of the week. I'm in an excellent position here- I get to see my favorite guy take on the wrestler I hate the most. (Notice I didn't say "least favorite." Austin is actually pretty high on my Favorite list, simply because I want to see him lose.)

Y Pac's Guide To Hating Folks
In the interest of helping fans who haven't picked a wrestler to hate yet, I've compiled a small list of wrestlers, along with a perfectly serviceable reason to hate them.

TRIPLE H Yearbook photos make him look like a world class dork.
THE ROCK Popular for no currently discernable reason.
EDDY GUERRERRO Cousin of the Gobbledygooker. Wears a mullet.
CHRIS BENOIT Poor dental work. Freakish torso.
CHRIS JERICHO Used to wear his hair in a Sailor Moon-esque ponytail.
LITA Dating Matt Hardy instead of you.
BILLY GUNN What, you need a reason?
X-PAC Never jobs. Easy to remember the "X-Pac Sucks" chant.
BIG SHOW ...ATE a BABY!
STEVE AUSTIN Hasn't realized that talking in the third person is out this year.

I'm outta here for this week, but stand by for my No Way Out recap early next week!

Cool Thing Of The Week: Introducing ONE HALF of the World Wrestling Federation: CHRISTIAN!!! Damn, is he good or what?!?
Lame Thing Of The Weak: The Kat. The Cat. Can't they both just go away?
