Be sure to read the Forward by NoS (and listen to the Hyatte mp3)

Wrestling parody is still real to me, damn it!

Cool. Congrats on 10.

Never heard of them.

Whamdangler: Never heard of them.

Same. This crap's been around for 10 years?

I remember seeing them in the friends list and clicking it once and going "oh, wrestling"

Wrestling? OK, see you in ten years.

Ah, Chris Hyatte. The days of following him around from site to site...

That was only ten years ago?

But Vince McMahon died in a fiery limo explosion!!!

As compared to a 10-month anniversary? Or a 10-day anniversary?

Please, people, please: Tenth anniversary. It's that easy.

/who are these people again?

A wrestling site archives are main page material now?

Lenny_da_Hog: As compared to a 10-month anniversary? Or a 10-day anniversary?

So why did my girlfriend in high school make me buy her a gift for our 3-month anniversary?

/I gave her the gift of freedom
//ok ok, she dumped me

House of Tards: A wrestling site archives are main page material now?

They put Drew in the right type of submission to his liking. Duh. :)

God, i loved the adventures of the NwO B Team!

Scoop This was (and is) an all-time favorite of mine!

Hyatte...that brings me back. I used to read CRZ as well.

starzman2003: They put Drew in the right type of submission to his liking. Duh. :)

You said "submission"

SCOOPS FEERS SUSHI-X

Duke_Phillips: ScoopThis is how I found fark in the first place. Oddly enough I had no idea they'd even been around the last..... 7 years or so.

Well according to the "about us" page they haven't. It says there that the site closed in June 2000.

/hotlinked

Are they implying that professional wrestling has gay over and undertones? Where would that come from?

And why do people put "hotlinked" after a picture post? What's the point? What's up with that?

Aw, sweet! I'd completely forgotten how awesome these guys were.

Empty Signal Gray: And why do people put "hotlinked" after a picture post? What's the point? What's up with that?

If the hosting site changes the image, but retains the same filename, something completely different will appear. The person just wants to let us know that they are not at fault if something weird appears instead of what they linked to originally.

I worked with Chris Hyatte (and Scott Keith) briefly over at 411wrestling and 411mania.com before the split with Inside Pulse.

They're both just kind of douchebags that take themselves way too seriously, really.

Duke_Phillips: Yeah I saw that after I actually clicked on the link. Oh well, kind of seems like an odd submission, but it's still better than the 1000th SBB link

he's at 783 right now. check back next monday for the 1000th.

Got it. Thanks. I've been curious for some time.

Didn't know they were still around

Hi, after reading your profile I hope you commit your name. Enjoy your day. :)

Guys, please try to follow.

That site was pretty big in the late 90's during the wrestling boom, but it shut down in 2000 and everyone moved on to other things. So it stands to reason that those of you under 18 probably never heard of it. That's normal. However, for the 10th anniversary of the site's opening, they put the site back up with all the old articles still in place. There's hundreds of them.

Also, back in the day, ScoopThis was actually bigger than Fark, and it was through that site that a lot of us were first turned on to Fark (long before it became the monster success it is today).

If that's not work farking, I don't know what is. It's a nice nostalgia trip for the many of us of legal drinking age who remember the site and its writers.

don't worry, i'm working on it. keep being clever, though.

Yeah, I remember going onto Scoopthis, Hecklers, Comedynet, Talkspot, Corona's Coming Attractions, InterneTV and other sites like those a LOT in the late 90s. The days before youtube where you had to search pretty hard for a Realplayer version of a video.

God, I wish all of them could put their archives back up, as I would LOVE to relisten to all the Seattle era Dan and Scott's off of Talkspot.

OMG! Thanks for wasting 48 seconds of my life that I'll never get back.

Who?

This just in: little-known Web site gets advertisement on Fark.com. [Plug] tag gone missing. More details at 11.

Y'know what the internet could use more of? Bitter and sarcastic comments from anonymous people.

Precisely. ;-)

I'm almost 40, and I followed wrestling online at it's peak.

And I've still never farking heard of it.

/who are these people again?

I forgot about that site. The best were the "taped phone calls". But for a second I thought that Al Isaacs was back. Shudder.

/Press 1 if you want to get out of the flaming hole that is WCW.
//Poor Shane Douglas.

ScoopTHIS! actually spawned as a parody of Al Isaac's tremendously popular Scoops site that was pretty much the only one with legit 'connections' outside of 1wrestling.

He made a ton of money. I wrote for him for a few, as well as a number of long-since-deceased sites (including xwrestling! anyone remember the Scotsman?).. ScoopTHIS started the parody of all those types of places and outlasted most of them when most people stopped caring about wrestling.

Xwrestling spawned xentertainment. It's the only one I know of that made anything out of all the visitors we were getting back in the day. Well, that are Berry's retroCRUSH.

I forgot all about this site! Hell, I think there's even a chance I wrote for them at one time.

I know did some wrestling parody stories for some site!

DOW: I'm almost 40, and I followed wrestling online at it's peak. And I've still never farking heard of it.

That's okay. Those guys never heard of you, either. Yet here you are dispensing your bitter opinions like they matter. To each their own, right? ;)

Also, the fact that the moderator (Drew?) actually went through the trouble of fetching ScoopThis's old link-up graphic for this one (when it hasn't been available in the drop-downs for several years) says maybe the site is more fondly remembered than you're implying.

Basically, just because you missed out on something doesn't mean it didn't happen for tens of thousands of others.

Oh, no. I'm not clicking that. You got me once with "zombo" (new window), and I won't get fooled again.
