    Star Trek XI

    News out of Comic-Con. Zachary Quinto (Sylar from Heroes) has been cast as young Spock for this movie. Leonard Nimoy will cameo as elder version of Spock. Abrams is in talks to get Shatner into the movie as well. Nobody cast yet for young Kirk. For those that aren't already aware - the next Star Trek movie is set to release December 2008. J.J. Abrams and Damon Lindelof are co-writing and producing and Abrams will direct.

    Ground Zero Talk

    All right! Ground Zero takes place during a hurricane! This will put a whole new spin on Miami Mayhem! (You can bet I'm writing it in, too.)
  3. Um... I met Mick Foley at a baseball game once. And I got an autograph from Ron Killings back in his "K-Kwik" days prior to a Raw show a few years back. It was pouring rain outside and he was the only guy willing to stand outside and meet fans before the show. Do they have to be wrestling related?

    Many guys released

    Does anyone remember Muffy?

    Feeling arty again

    I'd love to see those, but the boards are telling me I don't have permission to download them.

    Are those Justice and Rule hoodies still available on Cafe Press? I totally wanted to buy one of those back in the day.

    Comments that don't warrant a thread

    I was really surprised to go to the WWE main page today and see a big picture of Brock Lesnar.

    Ground Zero Talk

    You're overreacting. I don't have a problem with the match - it was just unexpected, is all. As long as Munich's cool with it, I'm cool with it. In fact, it gives me a promo idea.

    Ground Zero Talk

    For clarification, Munich, I did not request the match or the opponent. This card reeks of LANDONOSITY~!

    Oh god.
  11. I'm all for rebooking LDP/Spike for the next show if it's okay with all involved, since I couldn't get online and Spike had school issues.

    Vote: Show Date

    Move it. But it may not matter in my case. My laptop has died. I'm using a roommate's laptop (when I can) so if I show at all I'll have to start over and send in some kind of rush job. Happy birthday to me.

    Recognize.

    Oh, and I should mention that he's not quite undefeated now. His sister Avery (she'll be 2 this October) kicks his BUTT on a regular basis.

    Recognize.

    Today is Ian's birthday. Though is he is now 9, he is no less feared than he was during his undefeated run in the SWF at age 3.

    PROMO: socius per casus

    "Spike Jenkins?" Longdogger Pete glanced up from the paper he'd been reading--a copy of the next televised SWF card--to the SWF performer that he'd just been introduced to. He continued speaking. "Yeah, I've been in the ring with him before. He's been associated with the SWF a long time...almost as long as I have." Pete set the paper down on the table. "And I'm feeling good about this match. I'll give the guys in charge some credit for at least putting me up against a champion. Even though I'm not eligible to win his title, at least, not unless I drop six inches and 40 pounds in the next two weeks. It's not very likely." His colleague said nothing, apparently content to let the gears in Pete's head turn on their own without any assistance, sitting silently with hands folded on the table. "However, if I win this match...when I win this match...it'll go a long way toward showing the bookers that I'm capable of a run at the top, even after so much time has passed. And a win over Spike Jenkins would also wear him down for any...potential...challengers he may encounter." The other wrestler gave a smirk with a raised eyebrow. Pete shifted in his seat, sizing up the person sitting across from him. "Do you have anything to add, or are you here for your health?" He waited, hoping the conversation wouldn't remain one-sided. He didn't have to wait long. "You're right Dog, I don't think you should be too concerned with your match," said Taiga Star. "I may call you 'Dog', may I?" She didn't wait for a reply before continuing. "Though I believe I can take Jerkins down without anyone wearing him down before hand," Taiga exchanged a momentary glance at Pete, full of fire and stubbourn will, "But then again, I certainly don't mind the help." "Well then, you're in for something of a treat. Because once I get back in the ring... Spike Jenkins won't even know what hit him."

    Too lazy to copy and paste the card, but uh, yeah. Looks good! > Doesn't this rate an appearance on an MTV reality show where your rich parents throw you a huge party, fronted by musical guest Jay-Z, and you get to bitch and whine about how the $50,000 car you got as a gift was the wrong color?

    Hah! I came damn close to including the line "Don't tell me what I can't do!"

    PROMO: mens palaestra

    The SWF's Puerto Rico show was fast approaching, and Longdogger Pete spent nearly every available hour in the days leading to the show training at a nearby exercise facility, determined to get himself back into top shape before his return match. One evening during a particularly rigorous workout session, Pete was jogging in place on a treadmill, toward the end of the session. It was almost closing time, and the facility was otherwise empty. As he ticked off the miles on the treadmill, he found himself being greeted by an unexpected visitor. "Hello, Pete." Pete glanced over his shoulder at the new arrival, sighed, and stepped off the treadmill. "Can I help you?" Toxxic took a step forward, hand outstretched for a handshake. "I was told I might find you here. I'm the SWF's general manager--" "Michael Stephens," Pete interrupted. He stared at Toxxic's hand a moment, but ultimately ignored it, reaching instead for a towel. "I know who you are. I used to call your matches." "And talked shit about me as well, if I remember correctly." Pete shrugged. "I just called what I saw. My audience seemed to approve of what I had to say, or else I wouldn't have been able to keep that job." The Englishman frowned in apparent misunderstanding. "You told Ben Hardy you didn't remember--" "Ben Hardy is an idiot." Pete cut Toxxic off again. "I try not to give that guy too many straight answers. He's obviously just pandering for a story to tell the loyal fans he's convinced he has an abundance of." Pete wiped the sweat off his furrowed brow with the towel, then continued. "What are you doing here?" "I wanted to talk to you about your plans here in the SWF. Your goals. What is it you hope to accomplish this time around?" Pete chuckled as he tossed the towel aside. "Why, boss, isn't it obvious? My goal is to become the World Heavyweight Champion. Shouldn't that be the goal of everyone in the organization?" Toxxic looked incredulous. "You? As the World Champion?" Pete nodded. "I know. Big words coming from a guy who's never made a serious main event run, who's had two bad knees the last five years, and who hasn't even been back for one match yet. Right?" Pete waved his hand in front of his face, cutting off entirely whatever reply Toxxic was about to make. "You may not think it's in the cards right now, but you just wait and see what I can accomplish this time around. I'm in the best shape of my life, and I'm ready to take on anyone in the business, starting with... what's that guy's name again?" "Arne Andersen," Toxxic offered. "Right. By the way, that guy's probably the worst look-alike I have ever seen. Just saying." Toxxic leaned back against the door frame, clasping his arms. "Look, Pete. You know I have a lot of respect for you and your contributions to this industry." "Respect?!" It was like a switch had been flipped with the single utterance of the word. Pete angrily stepped closer, glaring menacingly at the general manager. "Don't talk to me about respect. I'm tired of that word being tossed about and taken lightly by people who don't even really know what it means or even believe what they're saying! 'Respect' is not a polite way of saying 'You're a god damned loser, Pete, now stop bothering me!' You don't think I can be World Champion? For Chrissakes, you've got Insane Luchador as the world champion now! Insane Fucking Luchador! Once upon a time, a statement like that would've had you laughed right out the door! If he can overcome the odds--" Pete paused, rant over for the moment, caught his breath, and cleared his throat. "Sorry. I'm getting carried away. But in reply to your comment. I have respect for you too, Michael Stephens. There's no denying you're one of the most decorated competitors this federation has seen in its history. But as of right now--you are the same thing as everyone else in the league." Toxxic looked Pete over, motionless, arms still folded. "And what's that?" Pete took one more step closer, now almost nose to nose with the general manager, and pointed a finger in his face. "You're just a guy... who's in my way." With that, Pete forcibly shoved Toxxic away from the door and stepped through himself, exiting the facility without another word. Toxxic glared at Pete as he watched the big man depart, and for his part, showed remarkable restraint. "Just great," he muttered to himself. "One more problem on my plate. Still, at least he hasn't kicked down any doors yet..."

    PROMO: cotidie novus

    Oh, I figured he'd called some of Toxxic's matches. But from an in-ring standpoint, they were never active at the same time. Just trying to inject a little humor in a promo where I basically try to provoke as many people as I can think of. Gotta get started somewhere. ...and looking around the board this evening, it would appear this promo has done its job...

    "Hey, Pete!" Pete finished shoving his gym bag into his locker and slammed it before turning around to face the man that had greeted him. "Oh, hell no. No interviews, man. I haven't even been in the damn building for five minutes--" "Relax, Pete." Ben Hardy put his hands in the air, palms out, a sort of "nothing-up-my-sleeve" gesture. "There's no cameras here. I just came to welcome you back. You know, from one announcer to another." "Oh." Pete considered that, then held out an arm to shake Hardy's hand. "In that case, it's nice to see you again. But I didn't come here as an announcer this time. I came to compete." "I do have to admit," said Hardy, "I'm a little surprised to see you back on the roster." "Why's that?" Pete shot him a stern look. "Don't think I can hack it?" "That's not what I mean," Hardy backpedaled. "I mean, retirement has its advantages, right? Why come back to this grind again unless you have a good reason to?" "Prying as always, Hardy?" Pete glanced around in suspicion. "You sure there's no cameras here?" The backstage interviewer shrugged the question off. "I'm serious, Pete. What brings you back here? Got some old score to settle? Some unfinished business with someone?" "A score to settle?" Pete mulled it over. "Well, I never thought about that. If I could settle a score with someone... well, who's still here? The Boston Strangler? Tom Flesher? Chris Wilson?" Hardy shook his head. "Naw, none of those guys are still around." "What about Mistress Sarah?" "'Fraid not." "Hmm. Ash Ketchum?" Hardy raised his eyebrows. "Ash Ketchum? Ash never had any issues with you, did he?" Pete grinned at Hardy. "Who needs a reason to want to kick Ash's ass?" He tapped Hardy on the shoulder as they began walking out of the locker room. "Listen, Hardy, I haven't really kept up with the comings and goings of this place since I left. So you're gonna have to get me caught up. Who's on the roster right now? That I would remember, that is." "Well... let's see. There's a couple of old XF9 members still around. Annie Eclectic, Munich..." "Munich!" Pete smiled at the name. "Good times. I remember I was going to help him take out the Boston Strangler in my first appearance right after I got promoted to the SWF. Shame they set up some sort of weird hockey rink match though. Anyway, I should probably look him up, right?" "I don't know, Pete," answered Hardy. "I don't think he'd exactly give you a ringing endorsement these days." "Really? How odd. Well, enough about old friends then. Let's talk current events. Who's running the show right now? I should probably go find them anyway and say hello, maybe discuss my plans with the bookers themselves, right?" "Well, Landon Maddix is the current commissioner of the SWF..." "Okay, I remember Landon," nodded Pete. "Didn't I bump him?" "I think so," Hardy agreed. "And Toxxic is the general manager." "Toxxic?" Pete asked. "Who's that?" Hardy looked shocked. "Pete... you're kidding me, right? Toxxic?" Pete just shrugged. "It'll come to me later, I guess. Say, who's the champion right now?" "Insane Luchador," replied Hardy. Pete looked taken aback. "IL?! You're kidding me?" "No, no. He won it from Michael Alexander a couple months ago." "IL is the champion?" Pete slowly shook his head. "What the hell has happened to this place?"

    Actually, you marked the third Miami Mayhem match. Against Xero. And you did piss him off. I remember this because it was my last match before getting bumped, and I got bitched at about it in PMs some time later.

    Super Sweet Sixteen discussion

    I'm still trying to figure out who's who myself. But I'm fairly sure at least one of your opponents is a real writer. My opponent on the other hand, is "Enhancement Talent." Which means, theoretically, I could write a ping-pong battle with Cutthroat and it would still make the show. On the positive side, it does mean I don't need to be in any hurry to get my stats posted.
