    The Story of XTREME PRO WRESTLING

    http://www.geocities.com/xpw5yearslater/xp..._scan_final.jpg This is the ad that was placed in a local newspaper in California a few days before the debut XPW show. The old thread I made seems to have been deleted, so I'm making a new one. From now on, anything you want to say about this retrospective, any feedback, any questions, comments, whatever...and also the retrospective itself...will be posted in this thread. Unfortunately, the web site I planned on making will be delayed for a few more weeks. It will likely go up in about a month, but it's not going to be online for tomorrow, as I hoped. What's so special about tomorrow, you ask? At 11 pm EST on the dot, I will post the first part of this retrospective, in order to correspond as closely as possible with the start time of the debut XPW show that will have started five years ago tomorrow (July 31, 1999) in Reseda, CA at 8 pm California time. The first part of the retrospective will focus on Rob Black's start in porn. The results of that event saw: - Kris Kloss introduced the show and was interrupted by Damien Steele. Jasmin St. Claire appeared from Milwaukee via satellite and claimed to be the real "queen of extreme." - The first match in XPW history saw Principe Ultimate defeat Rico Suave - Phenomenal Phil pins Johnny Webb - Zarco pins Chilango in a Lucha Match. - Kid Kaos and Pancho Killa fought to a chaotic No Contest, but even when the decision was made, they continued brawling and the match therefore continued. Kaos eventually picked up the pinfall win. - Cybil pins Homeless Jimmy after an insane brawl. - Dynamite D defeated Chronic via DQ when Big Rott debuted and formed the Westside NGZ with Chronic. They proceeded to beat the shit out of Chronic, but were stopped by security before they could light him on fire. - In probably Supreme's best wrestling match ever in XPW (save maybe for his November 99 match vs. Kaos), Kristian Blood pins Supreme after a huge chairshot. This match aired on an early edition of XPW TV and is surprisingly really good. Both guys gave it their all. Featured a balcony dive by Kristian Blood. - Tom Byron and Ashlyn Gere host the Miss Xtreme Contest. Kristi Myst is pretty much unanimously picked as the winner, but after the contest ends, Damien Steele and his bodyguard, Basil, come out and court Kristi. Jasmin St. Claire again appears via satellite and introduces Big Dick Dudley, who decimates Damien and Basil to close out the show. The retrospective will be posted on: DeclarationOfIndependents.net, WTFBoards.com, The Oratory Forums, TNAWrestling.net, SoCalUncensored.com Forums, WZForums.com, XtremeForums.com, The Other Arena, WrestlingClassics.com Forums, here, and a couple of other places. Until the official XPW: 5 Years Later web site goes up, DeclarationOfIndependents.net will be the official home of the retrospective. I plan on trying to do something where some exclusive stuff will be posted on DOI that won't be posted anywhere else - i.e. photos and stuff like that, maybe - but the retrospective itself will be posted at all the places mentioned above. If you're interested in having the retrospective printed on your web site or message board, feel free to drop me a PM and chances are I'll be more than happy. Before I go any further, I want to send my best wishes to former-XPW superstar Vic Grimes and his family. Vic has been dealing with some health problems lately. Last Friday ( a week ago), he underwent surgery in Hayward, CA to stitch up his appendix, which had been giving him problems. Since he's such a large guy, the surgery really required that he stay in the hospital for like a week, but the doctors made the serious mistake of releasing him the next Monday, just three days later. Sometime after Monday - from the gist I got from the friend of Vic's I talked to, it happened earlier today, but I'm not 100% sure - the stitches burst and his appendix started bleeding very seriously. He was brought to the hospital again and his family and friends are awaiting word on his condition. I may have an update on him in a couple days, and I may not. Steve of SoCalUncensored.com will probably get some news hopefully. But whatever the case may be - my best wishes go out to Vic Grimes for a speedy recovery. Hang in there, man. The names listed above in the official preview are all 100% confirmed to contribute. There are still MANY other names that are being contacted in order to contribute to this retrospective. I'm working on getting a hold of a very big name in the business and should the answer of whether or not he'll contribute in about two weeks, probably less. A bunch of homegrown XPW workers that aren't listed below will probably end up contributing eventually. It's just a matter of contacting them. So, again, the names listed below ARE absolutely confirmed, but are NOT the ONLY people who will be contributing. There WILL be more. Here's the official preview: FIVE YEARS LATER – THE STORY OF XTREME PRO WRESTLING "Not only did it take my focus away, it sucked the life out of me, but you have to lose it all before you get it back again – instead of taking one of those 10-hour Tony Robbins seminars, it was a three-and-a-half-year course and it stripped us (Extreme Associates) of anger, hate, pride, everything, and it took everything from us to where we started over and that's what it did. I tried something and what echoes in my head all the time is my dad saying, 'Stick to what you know.' He preached it to me forever - I didn't listen to him, I didn't stick to what I knew, and I lost my @$$." - Rob Black, about XPW (2004 Adult Video News interview) From mid-1999 until early 2003, Southern California's Xtreme Professional Wrestling produced some of the most enthusiastic debate the world of United States independent wrestling has witnessed in recent years. It all started with a pornography mogul named Rob Black and his business associate, Tom Byron. Along the way, superstar wrestlers such as Sabu, The Sandman, Shane Douglas, Chris Candido, and Jerry Lynn made their presences felt in XPW rings. At one point, XPW possessed a nationwide TV deal (via satellite) with America One and its home videos were distributed across the country even before those of ECW were. Although XPW eventually shut down, not even it's bankruptcy has curtailed the mutterings about it, and in many ways the promotion changed the So-Cal independent wrestling landscape forever. In the next half a year, learn about the formation, the rise, and the ultimate fall of a promotion that at one point had everything going for it. You've heard the mutterings about Rob Black's association with ECW's Paul Heyman, but there’s so much more to that story than meets the eye. When it comes down to it, all the way back in 1989 was when the true roots of XPW began to take shape. Long before the XPW name was concepted by Sheldon Goldberg, what could be considered precursors of the promotion existed, including: Verne Langdon's Slammers Wrestling Federation (Slammers/SWF); Dynamite D, Kevin Kleinrock, and Patrick Hernandez' Southern California Championship Wrestling (SCCW); and Doc Marlee's United Independent Wrestling Alliance (UIWA). Before they were appearing across the United States on XPW home videos, XPW's homegrown superstars were crafting their ability on the So-Cal independent circuit. Exactly one-third of the competitor's who performed on XPW's debut live event back in July 1999 credit their initial training to a man named Verne Langdon. Trained by The Fabulous Moolah and Tor Johnson many years ago, Langdon established the SLAMMERS WRESTLING GYM's UNIVERSITY OF PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING in Southern California in 1989 and, two years later, the Slammers Wrestling Federation. He’s responsible for overseeing the training of The Messiah, Angel, Johnny Webb, Homeless Jimmy, Dynamite D, Carlito Montana, and other XPW superstars. Langdon is one of several names who've agreed to contribute both historical information and textual quotations to this retrospective. Other contributers will include: - XPW homegrown superstars such as GQ Money, Carlito Montana, "White Trash" Johnny Webb, Leroy The Ring Crew Guy, Steve Rizzono, Pogo the Clown, and several others. - Freelance veteran wrestlers Chris Hamrick and Mike Modest will talk about their time working for XPW. - So-Cal manager JR Benson talks about what it was like to travel with the APW boys to XPW shows from 2001-2002 and his experience managing SNUFF in XPW. - Joe LaChance – the current promoter of Connecticut Championship Wrestling – will discuss how he did promotional work for XPW during 1999. - Plus, former-ECW superstar, current-ECW wrestler, and Philadelphia Athletic Commission executive Rockin’ Rebel speaks about dealing with XPW’s attempts to obtain a promoter’s license to run in Philly during 2002. As of now, there are a number of other former-XPW wrestlers and employees in the process of being contacted and in the coming weeks and months, even though this retrospective is soon getting underway. More names will be announced as playing a role in this retrospective. Very rare photos that will be featured in the retrospective include: - NEVER-before-seen, pre-XPW photos (straight from the Slammers Wrestling Federation's archives) of the stars such as The Messiah, Johnny Webb, Homeless Jimmy, and Angel. Thanks to Verne Langdon for supplying these photos. - GQ Money posing with legends such as Stu Hart, Nick Bockwinkel, Greg Valentine, and others. - Photos from the EWF and UIWA of TOOL, “Iceman” John Black (a.k.a. Chronic), Kaos, Supreme, and other future-XPW superstars. - Very hard-to-find pictures of the XPW appearances by Tony Jones, The Tonga Kid, Mustafa Saed, and others. - VERY rare photographs from the NEVER-before-released, invitation-only Sabu Invitational House Show in 2001! Also included: - the story of Rob Black’s rise in the porno industry as the vilest and most crude director ever - never-before known facts about the details of the ECW/Extreme Associates negotiations - backstage stories straight from the XPW wrestlers about various XPW matches - the full scoop on Sabu’s international XPW title defenses in Japan, Mexico, and even a never-before discussed defense in England - information on past mainstream TV appearances of XPW superstars such as Johnny Webb, Damien Steele, Veronica Caine, Ron Jeremy, and Rob Black, both while they were with XPW and before the promotion was around - never-before-released details about storylines and angles that were planned for XPW, but ended up never seeing the light of day - scans of official XPW flyers - magazine scans of various XPW-related articles - Where are they now? – a section devoted ENTIRELY to the question of what ever single performer who worked for XPW (even now) is currently doing - the REAL story about the ECW HeatWave 2000 fiasco, from those who were there live (included: an ULTRA-rare interview with – of all people – Homeless Jimmy about what he experienced during the incident!) - details about what big-name wrestlers who attended XPW shows and were backstage at them, but never made in-ring appearances - the answer to the two most widely asked questions by XPW fans: “Who was under the monkey mask at Free Fall?” and “What’s the story with Altar Boy Matthew?” - results to very rarely-publicized XPW house shows, including one that featured a legit Shoot Fight that was sponsored by Antonio Inoki’s UFO organization and also the Sabu Invitational House Show - XPW-related quotes from very rare interviews with Rob Black, Doc Marlee, Donovan Morgan, and even the hardcore legend himself…SABU! (along with many other wrestlers not mentioned) - word-for-word copies of official XPW press releases, including the extremely hard-to-find one from June 1999 that announced the formation of XPW Some of the below people are contributing, while others supplied contact info for wrestlers. An extra special thanks go out to them for the reasons mentioned: - GQ Money: GQ provided some uniquely candid and thought-provoking commentary about his experiences in XPW, and was also more patient than ever could’ve been expected. Thanks very much for being so cooperative! - Verne Langdon: Verne supplied access to the Slammers photos archive, commentary about working with XPW superstars years before they made it to the big-time, and was responsible for getting in touch with some of the above contributees. - Roland Alexander: Roland supplied some contact info for some those people who are contributing to this retrospective. - Steve Bryant: Steve runs SoCalUncensored.com and helped contact one of the contributers that are listed above, and also provided some rare info about XPW that will be featured. THE GOOD “XPW was my WWF. I couldn’t have gotten any higher than I did.” – Steve Rizzono "I think XPW gets a lot of bad rap and has a horribly unjust bad reputation. Fact is, XPW ran for four years or so, which was four years longer than most people thought they would run...I think XPW had its own identity, and XPW walked with its head up high. A lot of companies put on shows that are just like something else. XPW took risks, and I'm glad I was a part of it." – GQ Money "I'll be happy to take millions and millions of [WCW’s] dollars and then come right back here to XPW, hoist this company on my back like I did ECW, and make this f*ckin' company a God d*mn player in the sport of professional wrestling!" - Shane Douglas, minutes after making his debut in XPW (XPW My Bloody Valentine: First Annual King of the Death Match Tournament; February 26, 2000) "It was fun, it was fast-paced, it was wild, it was hard work, and it was exciting. You never knew what was going to happen, and anything could happen. It was like a sitcom, or a movie, or a drama show all rolled into one...It was incredibly hard work and it took an incredibly hard working person to survive and keep a job there, but it was awesome." – GQ Money, about the atmosphere at the offices of XPW's parent company, Extreme Associates "XPW is not a stepping stone! Our guys that bust their @$$ [to] do what they do. It's not like UPW or Memphis. Nobody's striving to go to WCW or the WWF…They don't want to go to tryouts. They don't do it. And the couple of them that had the chance to go to (UPW owner) Rick Bassman and have that shot...they don't want to do it. Tracy Smothers is working with us and Tracy's like, 'Kid Kaos'...the one kid who was visible on the [ECW HeatWave 2000] tape...Tracy's like, 'You're real good. I want you to come to Memphis,' and the kid's like, 'I don't want to!' They want to make it in XPW and that's it." – Rob Black (July 18, 2000 ScoopsWrestling.com interview with Al Isaacs) "I've worked for twenty people in about ten different countries and about thirty states in the U.S., and God d*mnit – this crowd is the best crowd I have ever performed in front of!" – The Sandman, at XPW Halloween In Hell 2 (later renamed "Blown To Hell") "Who knows why they did it, who knows what they did it for?...If that promotion succeeds, that's great. There’s one more place for wrestlers to work." – current WWE superstar Rhyno (who competed in ECW as Rhino), about the XPW-ECW HeatWave 2000 altercation (SLAM! Wrestling) "I really don't know what happened with XPW and ECW, but the product itself needs a lot of work. That is why they got me to help. So, they're a long way away from being mainstream. That's for sure." – Sabu (January 2001 WrestleLine.com interview) “No matter what you read or hear, deep down, he is a decent guy. A lot of his bravado has to be taken with a grain of salt. He is a showman, but deep down he is a decent f*cking guy." – Tom Byron, about his best friend, Rob Black (Byron's first RogReviews.com interview, in May 2000) THE BAD "I feel bad for a lot of the guys that gambled their careers with XPW for those few months. I feel bad for some of the guys that were banking on XPW to give them full-time jobs." – CZW commentator Eric Gargiulo (2003 TheDDT.com interview with Doug Graham) "[XPW] came in here and I guess they decided to run us out and be the big shots." – CZW promoter John Zandig, about XPW's East Coast run (March 1, 2004 SLAM! Wrestling article, by Corey David Lacroix; stated by Zandig on the night of CZW's Fifth Anniversary Show in early 2004) "I quit XPW because I knew I could do better. They wanted me to do movies and I didn't want to. Period. If I have such a hard time getting along with people, why don't I have the same problem at ECW? That whole XPW company has no clue what they're doing." – Jasmin St. Claire (December 2000 Wrestling World Magazine interview) "I do feel that XPW were up to no good, as they're main goal was to kill Philly indy wrestling. I thought it was immaturity on XPW's behalf, and a smart idea when CZW, 3PW, and ROH all banned together to show that they weren't as tough as they thought they were. The fact that XPW took three wrestlers from CZW didn't help them, so it was a waste of money for them, and they did ruin three wrestling careers. That right there showed that it was a war XPW was never going to win." – CZW wrestler Nick Berk (2003 DeclarationOfIndependents.net interview) "No, they spell 'unprofessional.'" – future-XPW wrestler Simon Diamond, when asked if he agreed that the letters, "X-P-W" spelled "disaster" (September 1, 2000 WrestleLine.com interview with Matt Kahn) "I am glad that I never got my fingers or penis chopped off." – Mike Modest, about his experience working for XPW "I never felt accepted because I was never offered coke or sex. [frowns]" – Super Dragon, about his time in XPW (May 21, 2002 interview with Nate Hiatt) "CZW gives the fans what they want. XPW does what ever Rob (Black) wants to do. Rob could give a flying f*ck what the fans want. Rob is all about getting himself over. The joke I tell the boys is, ‘If you work at the (Extreme Associates) office, you get to become world champ.’ Hell, if Rob could put the belt on himself, he would. Zandig cares about the fans, and he doesn’t try to put himself over in every match. The differences between the two is that one fed cares about its fans and the other doesn’t." – The Messiah (February 21, 2002 interview with Nate Hiatt) The CANDID "We could never compete with the WWF, we could never compete with WCW, but we can compete with ECW, and we will continue to be a thorn on their side." – Rob Black (July 2000 Chairshots.com interview ) "All I ask, from what I've offered you over the years as 'The Franchise' – give us that opportunity. If we suck at that opportunity, then you have every right on September 1st to tell the world that we blew it, but if we come in on August 31st, give you a show that was entertaining, and if we live up to our expectations that I promised you, then please go online September 1st and tell the world that XPW wasn't so bad. They have a sh*tty reputation, but last night they put on a damn good show. That's all I am asking." – Shane Douglas' "sales pitch to the fans," as he worded it, for Hostile Takeover (August 27, 2002 shoot interview with Wrestling-News.com's Anthony DeBlasi) "Directing movies was no longer a challenge. The challenge for me was creating a company that could be an entertainment conglomerate…The challenge was to own a company, instead of making a hundred and fifty thousand to make a hundred and fifty million. The challenge is to have our own wrestling company, our own TV station, go out there and do that. That’s the challenge for me. That’s excitement.” – Rob Black, speaking about what motivates him to continue operating a pro wrestling company (Black's first RogReviews.com interview, in September 2000) “Back when ECW existed, we were a brash newcomer trying to attack the beloved establishment of ECW. Every major Internet writer was employed by ECW. 1Wrestling.com was owned Joey Styles and Bob Ryder, all the 1Wrestling.com people worked for ECW. We started out with this negative image after that…What it became was ‘our beloved ECW is gone, and you rat bastards are still around. That's f*cked up. So you know what? Instead of supporting you, we're just going to sh*t on you.’” – Kevin Kleinrock, about the Internet’s role in XPW’s downfall (July 2003 interview with SoCalUncensored.com’s Steve Bryant) "Everything I've done is a f*cking plan. I might not know how to structure a match or set up a good four-minute deal with hot tags and stuff. That's why I call Shane (Douglas) and have him work with us. That's why. But you know what? When it comes to promoting and marketing and hype and getting the hysteria, that's what I know how to do. I'm the #1 porno company in the land. Henceforth, it doesn't matter that our ring crew got beaten up (at ECW HeatWave 2000). It doesn't matter what anybody says. The only thing that matters is an hour after the Pay-Per-View, everybody had XPW on their website. Everybody had XPW on their lips." – Rob Black (July 18, 2000 ScoopsWrestling.com interview with Al Isaacs) “If nothing more – love him or hate him – Rob Black is a character. He did a lot of things that no one else really had the balls to do.” – Kevin Kleinrock (July 2003 interview with SoCalUncensored.com’s Steve Bryant) ECW HEATWAVE 2000 "I know you guys are impressed.” – a sarcastic Rob Van Dam, to a ringside Kid Kaos, after executing a high-risk maneuver at ECW HeatWave 2000 (a few hours before the famous altercation) "Come on, you son of a b*tch! You c*cks*cker!" – a paraphrased transcript (according to Rob Black's 2000 ScoopsWrestling.com interview) of Paul Heyman's words to The Messiah, after whacking the XPW wrestler in the back of the head as he was being escorted out of the building at ECW HeatWave 2000 "You c*cks*ckers! You come here and we'll kick your ass! F*ck Rob Black!" – a paraphrased transcript (according to Rob Black’s July 18, 2000 ScoopsWrestling.com interview with Al Isaacs) of Paul Heyman's words towards the XPW ringcrew, while they were being attacked in the parking lot of the Grand Olympic Auditorium by ECW wrestlers at ECW HeatWave 2000 "Your career is done/over. You're never going to work in this business." – a paraphrased transcript (according to accounts of the incident in The Messiah's late 2002 Smart Mark Video shoot interview and an official XPW press release following the HeatWave incident) of what Tommy Dreamer said toward Supreme, as the XPW wrestler was being escorted out of the building at ECW HeatWave 2000 "They were trying to make a name for themselves off of us, but all that came out in the end was that they made fools of themselves, and they embarrassed themselves. There was no way they were going to get any good out of it." – former-ECW and eventual XPW superstar Jerry Lynn, about the XPW-ECW HeatWave 2000 altercation (SLAM! Wrestling) "I am truly saddened by the lack of professional courtesy shown by the [XPW] workers. What I mean is – we all do the same thing and for someone to be in the biz and not once acknowledge the workers in the shows is a huge insult, not only to the worker in front of you, but to the biz as a whole and not once did the XPW group at the very least acknowledge the awesome job done by all the workers in ECW. It shows that the disrespect that I thought was just Rob Black's I now see in all of the XPW group." – Doc Marlee, one day after the XPW-ECW HeatWave 2000 altercation (official statement in response to Rob Black’s July 18, 2000 ScoopsWrestling.com interview with Al Isaacs) "If they (ECW) ever come back (to California), it's going to be a whole other world of f*cking sh*t. They'd better think twice about coming back to our f*cking town to do a show because if they do come back expect not five guys. Expect 25 workers and 25 ring crew guys around ringside. They'd better be sure that Chris Chetti and all their little prelim guys who went out and beat up our ring guys can handle 50 guys storming that f*cking place. That's not a promise, that's not a threat...that's a guarantee. I hope they come out again next month. And I'll be there like General Patton, leading the charge." – Rob Black (July 18, 2000 ScoopsWrestling.com interview with Al Isaacs) AND SO MUCH MORE Learn the entire story about a promotion that’s surrounded by misconceptions. From the beginnings in the porno industry of Rob Black to his friendship with ECW's Paul Heyman…from the XPW’s debut show 4 years and 20 weeks ago to the signings of stars such as Sabu, Shane Douglas, and Chris Candido…from the interpromotional agreements with FMW, Revolution Pro, and IWA Mid-South to the TV deals with America One, KJLA, and WGTW…from the creations of current indy stars like The Messiah, Kaos, and Angel to the controversies of Supreme's fire bump, Vic Grimes' 40-foot “Free Fall,” and the New Year's Revolution 2 ads…from the 2002-03 invasion of Philadelphia to XPW’s eventual folding – all of this, and so much more, will be presented in Five Years Later - The Story of Xtreme Pro Wrestling.

    Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer problem

    God bless ComboFix.
  4. Every time I click on a link in Mozilla Firefox, it opens a new tab which goes to google-redirect.com with a bunch of numbers after it, and sometimes it goes to the web site I want to go to and other times it doesn't. Every time I click on a link in Internet Explorer, it opens a new window which goes to google-redirect.com with a bunch of numbers after it, and sometimes it goes to the web site I want to go to and other times it doesn't. So basically, if I want to jump from one page to another, then from that page to another page, then from that page to another page, I have to close three different tabs or three different windows. Make sense? That gets really annoying when I want to, you know, surf the Internet. I have CA Anti-Virus and it's not solving the problem. I would appreciate any assistance. Not sure how to get it to work normally.

    uTorrent Error Message Problem

    I have not had a problem with torrents in five years. Now, I am suddenly getting an error message that reads, "connection closed by peer" for both pro wrestling torrents and xtreme wrestling torrents. I have done some of the suggestions I have found via Google searches (Options-->Preferences-->Enabling Protocol Encryption and Allowing incoming legacy connections), but it has not made it work. Please, I would EXTREMELY appreciate any help. I'm really hoping someone knows, I don't know who/where else to ask after this. Thank you very much. This is what it looks like: http://i42.tinypic.com/2h8dagh.jpg I did a speed test at dslreports.com. These are the results: <a href="http://speedtest.dslreports.com"><img border=0 src="http://www.dslreports.com/im/66252628/9996.png"></a> Now that error message seems to have gone away: now it says "DHT: 0 nodes (log in") and "DHT: Waiting to log in." I googled those error messages and have tried what it said to do, but it has not worked yet.

    Playing Nintendo 64 on your computer

    From what I understand, this is possible. I downloaded Project 64 and downloaded a winrar file (like 10 MB) of Super Mario 64 and unzipped the file, but Project 64 won't open the .z64 file. Any idea what I need to do? Thanks in advance.

    I figured it out. I had to open the actual .rar file in Project 64.

    Playing Nintendo 64 on your computer

    What do you mean by "most emulators don't want you to unzip the file?" Like, why would they not want me to be able to unzip the file? I keep getting an error message when I try to open the .z64 file with Project64, saying, "Attempt to open file failed." How do I know what system requirements are necessary to run it? I have XP. Thanks for the assistance. I appreciate it very much.

    Most reliable external hard drive brands?

    Anyone know what they are? Someone told me Western Digital. Online, Maxtor and Seagate seem to get good reviews? And less important but when I buy one, is it worth buying the protection plan (for most, its 2-5 years) or is that usually a waste of money?

    That's odd. Ya, they're definitely way less quality than the original clip.

    Converting Youtube to AVI/WMV/MPG

    Obviously there are like half a million free programs out there that will convert YouTube videos to AVI/WMV/MPG, but none of them that I've ever used come close to actually maintaining the quality of the original video. Are there any out there that will do this (and don't think I haven't searched relentlessly!)? Thanks.

    Converting Youtube to AVI/WMV/MPG

    Tried two different e-mail addresses and neither receives the e-mail it says they will receive. Any idea what the problem is? Thanks. EDIT: I got one of the e-mails, but the file is way worse quality than the original YouTube video.

    Registration codes for computer programs

    Anyone know of a good place/site to get working registration codes for various computer programs, especially when it comes to media converting programs (i.e. .mov to .wmv as an example)?

    Random Thoughts

    Where's the YouTube video of Marty Elias leaking info to fans at a live show? Anybody got a link? It was in Meltzer's daily news update a few months ago.

    Random Thoughts

    A few months ago, Meltzer posted in one of his daily online updates a youtube video of I believe Marty whatever his name is (the referee) talking to fans before a house show and telling them which wrestlers are there and which wrestlers aren't there. Anyone got a link to that video? Also, a random question - has Rey Mysterio Jr. ever done a Shooting Star Press? If so, when/where?

    Prank phone calls

    What are the odds that you could get in trouble (legal) for making a single prank call to a business i.e. a McDonalds (and not calling them back if they hang up)? Also, is it true that dialing *67 and then the number makes it so that people can't tell what number you're calling from? Also, is it free to use *67 (if you have a plan for free calling after certain hours and you use *67 after those hours)? Or does it cost a certain amount per minute or something to use *67 after those hours? Thanks.

    Prank phone calls

    That would cost a lot to make lots of calls. Nor can you put a pay phone on speaker (what's a prank phone call in this day and age that's not being recorded?). I have a masterful soundboard I made that I want to put into action.

Santa Clara's own Kimo Kanaloa def. "Glamorous" Ryan Von Kool and Mike Silva after pinning Silva in a Young Lion's Challenge match, advancing into the 4-way TroopSlam Title match main event. Post-match, Silva and Kimo had a small disagreement over Kimo pinning him. However, as Kimo was exiting, Kool brutally beat him down. Silva eventually ran Kool away. Kimo's ribs, back, and elbow were all damaged. 2. The Good Ole Boys: Mother Truckin' Otis & Maynard Skynard def. Kryptonite & "Russian Wolf" Alexis Darevko w/ Buddy Sotello, ESQ., via a double chokeslam pin. 3. Kid Omega def. Mikey "The Dragon" Hayashi via pin. 4. Santa Clara native Jason Styles def.

The Channel Surfers by DQ when Steve Rizzono intentionally got the Channel Surfers DQ'd by hitting Killer J with his cane after getting out of his wheelchair. Post-match, everyone thought Rizzono was trying to help the Channel Surfers who he was managing. However, it turns out that it was all a plot by the former "Rizzono Mafia" crew from APW of DeMarco, Tiffany, and Rizzono, with their new big man, Killer J. 6. "The Innovator" Vinnie Massaro (substitute for Puma) def. "Fly Daddy" Jardi Frantz by pin in a Falls Count Anywhere match. 7. Santa Clara's own Kimo Kanaloa def.
