"Naitching"
I'd love to quote the source but the site I found it on didn't so...
HHH...
"Ric is one of my best friends. Ric doesn't know when to walk away. Ric doesn't want to be told to walk away. And Ric can't afford
to walk away. Ric has lived every day of his life like it's the last for almost the fifty years he's been in the business. In Ric's
mind, it's still 1982, he's on top of the world, he's young, he's got a lot of money. Ric has never questioned spending. We
have a term on the road where if you go out and you have a crazy night that you spent a ludicrous amount of money or you just lose it one day and you
can't go through another airport and you're trying to get a jet instead, we call it 'Naitching.' Ridiculously spending money
for no point is called 'Naitching.'"
I feel as though I am "Naitching" when I use the parking lot in the French Quarter rather than parking in the next neighborhood over and walking
in.
In spite of not listing the source www.ewrestlingnews.com is one of the least invasive dirt sheet sites I have found. Less pop-ups and bullshit than
many of the others (cough) Rajah.

I guess all that "Naitching" is the reason he had to stoop to lending his voice and likeness to The Cleveland Show.
Hence, if you come to Manchester with a United shirt on, you may as well come to Raw with a t-shirt of Hitler getting a rimjob from the Queen and
blowjob from Richard the Lionheart. ~Devineman 07/12/2011

Its from an interview with these guys:
http://www.mmafighting.com/2011/09/15/triple-h-ufc-needs-to-evolve-more-than-wwe/
The best question / answer was how he feels about UFC:
quote:
Moviefone: How do you think WWE and pro wrestling needs to evolve as UFC and MMA grows in popularity?
Triple H: I don't think we have to evolve. It's two totally different things. I think now especially there's this thing like, "oh
it's very similar."
I don't see us needing to evolve to what UFC does because quite frankly sometimes the fights are long and boring, guys lying around and
sometimes the fights are fast and over in five seconds. I've always thought one of the things about us, if you look at us solely from a sports
standpoint, is that we always give you a good show. We're never going to give you a crap game.
I think if anybody needs to evolve, it's them. Give more of an entertainment standpoint. Give more form; they just have fighters who walk in in
T-shirts and shorts and just stand there and then they fight and then they win and then they go "thanks, I'd like to thank my sponsors" and
then they leave. The whole world was up in arms when Brock was flipping people off and was cussing at the beer company because they didn't give
him any money and everyone thought, "oh my god, he's disrespectful," -- the whole world was talking about it. They couldn't wait to see
him get beat up. And then he did well, and he beat some guys and then people jump on his bandwagon going "Brock's the greatest." I'm
good friends with Floyd Mayweather and Floyd would be the first to tell ya, "I make the most money in boxing and I have the biggest buyers because I
have the biggest mouth." He'd be the first guy to tell you that. That's what it's about. Sports is entertainment.
Yeah... It's the uber-popular UFC that needs to evolve. Not the stale as fuck product you're helping produce.

Phil has his own opinions of Triple H's comment:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
quote:
CM Punk has commented on the Triple H interview, where he stated that
it was the UFC and not WWE that needed to evolve. Here is what Punk posted�
"@arielhelwani: RT @MMAFighting Triple H: UFC Needs to Evolve More Than WWE http://aol.it/qVzzuK" RIDICULOUS!!!!! Laugh out loud ignorance.
If you don't evolve, you die.

Go park at Harrah's, and walk down to Gordon Biersch restaurant...more often than not you won't have a problem getting a bartender to
validate your ticket...maybe you'll have to buy a beer, but usually they'll just do it if they aren't too busy.

I'm inclined to agree with Triple H about some of the UFC's presentation. I'm a big UFC fan, but their entrances and the exit
interviews they do with Joe Rogan need some tweaking. Give the featured fights some fanfare. Give Anderson Silva some lighting. Let GSP get carried to
the Octagon. I don't know, something besides walking from the back of the stadium to the cage. Flashy entrances are definitely something the UFC
could adopt from the WWE.
Great stories behind fights and exciting matches are something the WWE could adopt from the UFC, heh. Nothing pisses me off more than watching a Five
Moves of Doom sequence. Why do they promote that shit in 2011??

I think the main difference here is that UFC is NOT "sports entertainment". WWE created that term for itself, and has effectively made itself the
sporting version of Jersey Shore.
UFC is 'just' a sport. I don't see flashy entrances in football, basketball etc. Cheerleaders sure, but when they try this stuff it
just looks bush league (unless they're not going ott enough).

flashy entrances not in basketball??? go to youtube and type in any NBA team and entrance and watch them....
football has fireworks when the team (offense or defense) is announced before the game...
I think HHH was talking about how people like to boo.... they like to have someone to root against, almost as much as they like to have someone to
root for.
The movie "Idiocracy" was really a documentary.

Yeah, UFC doesn't really have problems getting guys that are easy to boo. Problem is that, in real life, you don't boo someone if
they're out there and give a performance worth respecting (not talking like a performance where the guy is a huge dick to his opponent before
the fight, then comes out and beats his guy up very easily...those guys you can boo the shit out of). And UFC absolutely does not need to spice up
their post match interviews or pre-match entrance. They've got a good fanbase right now, and, quite honestly, if a lack of "human drama" is
what's keeping a part of the wrestling fanbase out of MMA, then I say keep it where it's at, because adding that to MMA is going to push
out a lot more people than it will keep in.

Not so much. Flashy entrances have been a part of MMA for a while --- just not in the UFC. Look up some Pride stuff, maybe some K1. Cross the pond,
and they give their fighters just as much fanfare as any WWE show for an entrance. Long ramps, lighting, pyro. I think Anderson Silva came to a fight
on an elevator one time, hitting dance moves like Michael Jackson complete with the derby hat.
They don't have to go THAT far, mind you. I would dig some lighting for the main events, though. Their pre-match buildup is quality.

I would have thought "Naitching" is when you slash open your forehead that's held together by a couple of skin fibers and bleed all over an
arena filled with people who are too busy looking at their pictures from Splash Mountain to care about the fact they're in a wrestling show for
$200,000-per-year.

I took an internal flight this morning and got hit up for excess checked luggage. I briefly considered moving a small heavy object from my checked
luggage to hand luggage to avoid the fare but after pondering rooting around in my suitcase in the terminal and then lugging heavy handbaggage around
I thought to myself "Screw this. I'm naitching", paid the �30 charge and went for a burger. I'd like to thank OO for inspiring this
fiscally dubious but pleasing strategy.

I remember after one of the Ultimate Fighter seasons, there was a match where one guy said "this is my chance o make him pay for pissing on my bed
and my fighting gear." And I thought "wow, this is great, these guys have an actual reason to fight."* Obviously, you can't always
manufacture this stuff, but fights do seem a little more exciting when there's some backstory, like Shamrock/Ortiz.
*The guy whose stuff got pissed on also got knocked the fuck out in round one. Hilarious.

You kept it real by Naitching in an airport, a place directly referenced by Helmsley as essential to the origin of the word. Might as well have
ordered a limo and let out a "Wooooo!"
