    You're pretty out there, but that's about as far-fetched of a speculation as I've ever read from you.

    Wow.

    Yes, he wanted to be there, at that moment. Clearly he was choosing to be there when he said that, because he hadn't quit. Had he not been choosing to be here when he said that, I'm guessing he wouldn't have been there to say that.

    Am I missing where he said he wanted to be here next season? He's talking in the present tense, unless I'm missing something. Help me out, barfo.

    They called him the "Son of Merlin" and showed a couple of pics of him.

    Then, just now, he was hamming it up for the camera, wrestling with someone else from the crew.

    Weirdo.

    I liked the Babbitt interview. He seem really down to earth type of guy. Sounds like he's going to hustle whenever he's on the floor. I also like the Williams interview though he seem pretty nervous.

    I liked both of the interviews, too, although Babbitt said "You know" more times per second than I thought was humanly possible.

    Does anyone else find it funny that a GM needs an agent?

    If there's any more proof needed I really don't get enough sleep, I was reading this forum and all the sudden went (to myself) "hey..where the hell has mgb been lately??? Oh my god..he didn't die, did he!?!"

    so I did a quick search on here, for a post by him (you), and lo-and-behold...in the very thread that made me think of him (you), he (you) posted.

    good lord.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I don't know. Do lawyers generally represent themselves in court cases? (I have no idea.)

    My guess is that GMs have agents to handle the stuff around their contracts so that they (the GMs) can put all their work attention on their job. Representing someone is a job, even if it's yourself, and I don't imagine GMs want two jobs.
