How I got my $20 back from WWE and What It Should be Spent On

Am I going to get back to focusing on "Guy Does Finishing Moves on Zombies," to promote "Main Event of the Dead" this week? It was kind of an uneventful week. Not to say I didn't do much, but anything constructive? Only time or credit limits will tell.

Since credit limits were mentioned, I better get to focusing on "Main Event of the Dead" promotion. At least WWE Network will be paying for this website's domain for the next couple of months. Maybe I should give them a production credit.

Maybe that'll let me hand over the directorial responsibilities to the Soska Sisters. The only problem with that is it allowed me to discover that they weren't full-blown auteurs on "See No Evil 2." It's nice that they'll take on other writer's projects, but the sense of dismay that they didn't get to lay the foundation for Kane's latest return from the dead is palatable.

Why shouldn't I think this way? If you take note of how WWE writer's handle Raw, Smackdown and Daniel Bryan's health, the affirmation of my stance cannot be disputed.

The previous paragraph maybe a bit harsh. From what I've seen on Hulu's editions of Monday Night Raw, the only thing that irks me is Macho Sandow and Axelmania. And that's only in concept since their debut didn't make the 90 minute cut. I'm a couple of weeks behind on WWE programming since I thought I would need to be cancelling the network after the free month of service on April 30. When I went to do so, they said my free trial ended on June 1. So I didn't cancel, and prior to 11:00pm CDT, Paypal let me know that I'd been charge $9.99. We don't all live on the East Coast. Paypal is based in California to discourage anyone from fucking the Universe over.

Just a query, do I come across as more of a Second City guy or a New York...hipster? I've got a friend who supports my efforts to relocate to the Windy City, but says I'm better fit for the Apple. What's with ginger feminists (a little jab at another friend based in New Amsterdam who is yet to send me an address to send her two kids birthday gifts to)? I don't think I got any mixed signals from Kathleen Hanna work that NYC is the place to be. Then again, she chose NYC over the Portland, OR.

Enough about my existential dilemmas. I've been able to limit the exposure to my Schrodinger experiment of a brain (since I don't believe my readership to be what I hope, I think it's fair to bring up whether or not I'm alive dead) for the past month and a half, lets try to maintain that. My Paypal/WWE conflict is far more tangible.

For the wrestlers who love what they are doing and want to get the most eyes on them, lets hope my victory in getting my $10 back from the WWE (the other $10 is the free April...which lead to my conflict) is not indicative of how they are handling the attempted class action lawsuit about head trauma.

Sorry Billy Jack Haynes, but you knew what you were getting into. With so many promotions, excessive violence may have been required to stay a float. As for Big Vito, I blame WWE for negligence because there were no other promotions to force you to be edgier and encourage/demand greater risk taking. In the end, two wrongs do not make a right, so Haynes involvement should negate the validity of the lawsuit.

Why I fear for the WWE in their larger case is because I claimed and could prove to have been in the right about not needing to pay for their network this month, but they never asked for my screenshot. They initially hoped by taking no action, I would forget to follow up with Paypal about the conflict or be fed up with Paypal not taking any action. Instead, I escalated my concern with Paypal, and I got my charge back.

I'm stroking my ego perhaps by celebrating my victory. Ten dollars is nothing compared to the millions that former wrestlers demand. But, my victory suggests that they will ignore instead of dealing with their issues. Judging how many times I've read about them actually going to court over anything since the World Wildlife Fund, it may work too much to change.

But what if I had some Twitter clout. Hell, what if I had just sent out a tweet telling everyone to do what I did to get May for free. Could WWE have fixed it in time?

And thus, I lost the chance to win the gratitude of the wrestling community. A chance where surely they would repay it by just offering money to Kickstart "Main Event of the Dead."

Instead, the following is the best I have to offer in making my pro-wrestling zombie comedy a reality.

The "Main Event of the Dead" Test Reel Needs:

• Someone with some makeup or special effects experience.
• The true antagonist of the feature is a woman, so an actress to set up the premise of "Main Event of the Dead."
• Three or four wrestlers to take the finishing moves.
• One or two wrestlers to deliver the moves.
• A wrestling ring with a canvas that can afford to be left a little messy. If we can get extra from the crowd-funding campaign, we'll make replacing it a priority.

Since this is an effort to try and make this feature a reality, I can really only afford to compensate what ever is spent to make this video. I am willing to negotiate terms on what compensation will be for performances before the reel goes online. If whatever raised can cover the compensation agreed to, even if I do not reach the goal to produce the film, compensation will be had.
