Mr. S£im Citrus

Hey Aecas, would you mind replying to my thread in Community/General please?

Was that ever posted anywhere? Because, between his last match on Storm, and Everheart's debut on Smarkdown, I didn't see Aecas' status mentioned once. And I'm 64% sure that I looked in every thread that was posted between that timespan.

I'm in the process of prepping the HOLT report when I happened to realize that Aecas, for all intents and purposes, just sort of disappeared. I say this because Aecas was booked against Johnny on the July 2nd Storm, not booked on the July 7th Lockdown, and on the July 12th Smarkdown, you had a different character. But, after doing a little research, I was unable to find anything, whether it be in a board promo, a Comments thread, a Card thread, or on a show itself which gave any reason why Aecas the character just up and left. So, my question to you is this: did you ever "officially" retire Aecas, or did you just decide, "fuck it, I want to be somebody else?" Because, if it's the latter, then I intend to have Aecas join Judge as part of the permanent "Dark Match" staff, unless you happen to have a personal objection to this. - Dub Cee

Where do you come up with that shit?

No doubt; I have always personally considered 1987-1990 (WM III - WM VI) to be the "Golden Age" of PPV for that exact reason.

Monsoon/Ventura and Ross/Ventura were my two favorites, but Monsoon/Heenan was a very close third.

And thanks for tying my hands for the dark matches, BTW, King; I took a look at the stats pages, and pretty much everybody who wasn't booked for Smarkdown was a heel, except for Munich.

Write-ins also accepted.

I hope that you weren't suggesting that I was trying to take credit for it?

SWF Smarkdown HOLT report July 13, 2004 Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania at Mellon Arena Report by Brian Miller of Kittanning, PA, Smartmarks.com reader Dark Matches: - Munich beat Craig McClennan in 2:18 with the C-4 Crunch. - Ebony beat Jacob Helmsley in 4:44 with the Loving Embrace. - Natasha beat Kelly Connelly in a Bra and Panties match (Chris Card was the special referee). - Max King beat Tryst in 3:26 with the King Buster. - John Duran & Michael Craven beat Tommy Nguyen & “Fruity” Frankie Deed in 7:02 when Craven hit Deed with the Gulf Coast Crunch. - Danny Williams beat Judge Mental in 14:51 with the Buffalo Sleeper. Smarkdown: - After winning the Cruiserweight Title, Spike took the house mic from Funyon and dedicated his victory to his new role model, Toxxic, but he could barely be heard over the loud booing. He then started his own one-man pep rally about how Toxxic can serve as inspiration for all, until everybody in the first six or seven rows started throwing trash into the ring. It took them the whole rest of the commercial break to clean it all up. - Best sign in the crowd: “Superior? Stretch?” ‘Nuff said! - Man, Petey was ON tonight! It’s like he was channeling La Parka, or something! I really thought that he was going to cruise to a win, until he missed that splash in the corner. Birdman’s finisher is pretty sweet, too, but he’s no Petey! - 2nd Best sign in the crowd: “Spike + Toxxic + Davis = STD.” - People HATE Toxxic. Yes, they really do; it takes a special kind of asshole to get people to cheer for Jay Dawg, but somehow Toxxic managed to pull it off. - After the tag team match, there was a brief intermission where they did the G5 drawing, and the guy sitting right next to me won. Damn; so close! - The crowd gave Flesher a lot of shit for using the ADF II but, of course, it didn’t faze him. Flesher taunted the crowd for a few minutes after the match, pantomiming the World Title around his waist and, as he and Alison were leaving the ring, somebody managed to heave a full cup of beer at him that caught him in the back of the head. Flesher pointed him out to Jim Phelps, and got the guy thrown out of the building. - Cortez got the strongest mixed reaction (whatever the hell that means) I’ve heard in a long time when he came down to the ring. He started complaining about having to defend the tag titles without Van Siclen, and then he handed the microphone to the Masked Man. I kind of drifted off after that until he dropped the mic on the table and the squelch woke me back up, but then I saw the two of them shaking hands and one of the Tag Team Title belts on Masked Man’s shoulders, so I figured that something must be up. - After the main event, Janus started to make his way back up the ramp, only to sneak back into the ring as James was trying to help Clark up, and nailed him with another Knuckle Bomb. He then took the mic and proclaimed that it made no difference to him whether Zenon was going to make him wrestle one man at a time, two men at a time, or ten men at a time! He then ran off a whole laundry list of all the guys he’s beaten and said that he owned the SWF, and that there was no force on earth that was going to take the World Title off him. Biggest Pops 1) Dace Night 2) Alan Clark 3) Petey the Irish Penguin 4) Ced Ordonez 5) Johnny Dangerous Most Heat 1) Janus 2) Tom Flesher 3) Toxxic 4) Spike Jenkins 5) Landon Maddix

Good fucking grief! I personally don't really care about any sport but basketball (any level/gender of basketball), and even I have to feel sorry for guys like Anglesault if they're watching this Sportscenter*; they've spent the whole first half-hour talking about the Lakers/Heat trade! * Disclaimer - I don't really feel sorry for guys like Anglesault...

Uhh... that's not my point.

Based on that argument, they shouldn't cover the NHL, either.

A couple of teams did, not the league itself.

So what was happening for the six years before Laimbeer became a head coach in the league, or the four years before Cooper became a head coach?

I have seen more coverage of Soccer, Track & Field, Lacrosse and Swimming on ESPN in the last twelve months than the WNBA, and that includes the last WNBA Finals.

I'm not going to debate with you, or anyone else, over how you think I should have reacted to his post, Spike. Besides, I think that the matter has been resolved, or at least, I hope so. - Dub "and, oh yeah; happy birthday, Mr. G" Cee

The reason why I was so "uppity," Muzz, is because: 1 - The tone of your post came off to me like you were looking down on me because I asked a damned question. I joined this fed a good year after you guys left IGN, and as I said, I've never been registered on any IGN board, so IGN is not a natural part of my thought process. Crow and Strangler are two very different people, who appear, as near as I can tell, to have very different interests, so I didn't know where he would have known both of them from. You put your two cents in, and it came off to me like you were ridiculing me for not knowing that he would have known them on IGN, as if it should have been glaringly obvious that it had to be IGN, when it really isn't that obvious at all. Crow joined the fed after me, for fuck's sake (at least, in the "Crow" persona, he did), so if I didn't know that Crow hung around on the IGN boards, which I didn't, it would not, in fact, be obvious that that's where he knew them from. - and - 2 - As I also mentioned, this is the second time that you've "wandered in off the street" to throw in your two cents, and the last time you did it was even less tactful than this one was. I don't appreciate what I perceieved as you being a smartass to me, so I went off. Sorry if there was a misunderstanding on my part. - Dub Cee

Thanks, crusen; I meant in the fed, though.

I'm the asshole? How do you figure? To the best of my knowledge, I've never said or done anything bad or disrespectful to Muzz, and this is the second time in a week that he's basically walked in off the street to interject himself in my conversation with somebody else just to make some smartass comment to me. He's the asshole. - Dub "doesn't get how I'm the asshole if he started it" Cee

Was he someone before he was Crow?

Hey Sacred, if you're going to take it upon yourself to answer a question that I asked somebody else, do you think that you could at least bother to be a little less vague? I mean, I still don't understand how Sly could have come to meet both Crow and Strangler in the same online community, simply because the two of them don't strike me as being two people who would go to the same websites outside of an e-fed environment. For the benefit of those of us who have never registered to an IGN board (read: me), would someone please be so kind as to explain how they're set up, and where someone like Sly might be hanging out where they would run into two people like Crow and Strangler in the same place? - Dub "preferably someone who's a little less of a jerk than Muzz" Cee

From where, if I may ask? How did you manage to meet Crow and Strangler? It just doesn't seem to me that they would travel in the same circles outside of this fed.

That's just uncouth, fella; funny as hell, but still uncouth...

Us? Aren't you supposed to be a new guy?
