Hey guys,
Ok so anyone who has been on our site since Friday or seen twitter will know that James has decided to leave us. Me not being one of them. My use of facebook and almost never checking twitter meant I missed the whole last week of drama that went on. And as you know neither myself or James update the site very often so we check it about as much as you all do. So I missed that whole thing.
Now before I go let me just say that I take none of it personally and wish James nothing but the best in his new project. I wish he had actually texted me (he has my number) or facebook me, of which he knew I would see. The cryptic thing is overrated. Just come to me if you have a problem people.
Anyway with that said I want to get a chance to respond to his points on the letter without making a big deal about it on air:
Does the main BTM need more editing and music? Yes.
Does it's content need addressing? Yes. Which I did on this weeks show by watching everything and returning pretty much our old format.
However. When it comes to opinions they are exactly those; Opinions. Sure on air I may have argued against James's points when he differed from mine, but I also do that with DM and BM. But the difference is I don't thinks James took it the way it was intended. It was intended as a friendly debate between differing opinions, nothing more. I never meant to belittle anyone's points or put anyone down. Different opinions is what makes the shows interesting.
I honestly could tell somewhat James felt this way for awhile but the way he expressed it was with short facebook comments, twitter posts we never saw and by getting short with us on air. Just because you don't want to talk about a certain bit of news doesn't mean we don't talk about it, nor when we talk about it do you need get mad about it. But I do realize that part of this is due to my "NEED TO TALK NOW!" Cutting off nature on shows. To the other hosts: Just tell me to shut up and let you finish. I won't get mad.
Now I know a lot of this, along with his continued non contribution to the main shows was down to stress and work load so it's fine.
Has the Fantasy overtaken the sites: God yes! But other than the occasional X-Men RT I do, I haven't really had the passion to do any other shows other than the main show. But do the Main Show need to be more like this weeks episode content wise? Yes. And I need to get off my arse and put in a tenth of the effort I put into Fantasy to make new music and stuff. Agreed.
But just because I put loads of effort into the Fantasy doesn't mean it has effected the main BTM show, just other possible shows. Are their days when my general negativity and "can't be bothered" effects the show? Yes and I will make sure that doesn't happen again. Content wise every week I don't watch everything I will add a topic, if the show is short I will add a topic. AND new theme music. I promise to get off my arse and get the production values back. I got lazy.
For the record I would still be doing Blockbuster and every other show we did had my cohost and server issues not f'ed me over over the years. I just lost my passion for anything but the wrestling shows and for that I apologize.
That said BTM will continue and thanks to the wake up call I will get the production values back. But I will not stop being negative when things are shit! The show is about my honest opinions.
Fantasy wise I have someone in mind to take over ROH. And you all know him.
Either way I wish James and his new network the best and its alls well that ends well. No feud here I'm afraid....
ONLY KIDDING! YOU WILL DIE JAMES!
No really. It's good peeps. I'll update you all on the new main site here, in the mean time here will be the main source of info as well as my fb and twitter.
