Golgo 13

Cristina Scabbia. Granted, I've liked her since hearing of Lacuna Coil and seeing some pics a while ago. But she went to #1 for me when I finally caught the Heaven's A Lie video. And I'm too lazy to look for a pic right now.

I imagine Manson bumming a ride off anyone who has an extra seat available. Either that or the JL 'vets' in IL, Jake and I traveling in a rental.

Soccer. It absolutely bores me to death, though for whatever reason, I like watching golf. Go figure. Boxing. I just never got into it. Other than that, probably women's anything and college football. The same used to go for college basketball, but more recently I've found myself getting sucked into games whenever I run by them; although I won't go out of my way to watch.

That Megan chick looks like she got hit in the face with a baseball bat in the second picture. And I've been seeing ads for You Got Served as often as ads for The Perfect Score. "You just mad... cause YOU SUCKAS GOT SERVED!" Ugh.

Yeah. I wasn't even gonna write at first. Then when I made the decision to go ahead, it didn't start clicking until it was too late. But there's always next year. And Stryke, if you truly are gone forever, that sucks. Although what we planned on when I was Mafia was hindered and never developed into anything, you quite possibly were my favorite tag partner and associate.

Okay. It should come as no surprise. I'm the first to officially drop out, as far as I know. I was gonna do it earlier today, but after reconsidering, I tried to keep writing. Unfortunately I never made it far past what I had. And with sleep coming on soon, it's now occured to me how much more I would need to do on Sunday. Apologies, etc etc.

I'm just making my entrance and am at 2,229. While the match itself is shaping up nicely, my chances of turning something in aren't looking too good.

Apparently, they were planning on turning TWGTT face when Heyman came on as GM, but they went back on it. I've actually warmed up to the Bashams a bit, since I feel they've stepped it up during their last matches with the Guerreros. Better them to hold the belts than S2H/Rikishi.

You must have never watched Jay Leno then. He said "comedian."

All this talk reminds me that another hot Road Rules chick from one of the recent seasons, Mary Beth, also got naked for Playboy. Something with her is contained in the same link for the "dancing slut," and there are more pictures with her floating around.

Hey, remember his attempt at the People's Elbow? That one's a keeper.

I highly, HIGHLY despise Jeff Hardy. If he isn't diving from ladders through tables -- the only entertaining thing about him, by the way -- then he's no good at all. And all this talk of being refreshed and rejuvenated; just wait a few months down the line when he burns out again and can't even run properly, looking lost in the ring and botching everything he does, with only pops from 13 year old females to sustain him. It'll happen folks.

I am not a fan of Sarah, at least as far as looks go. Kendal on the other hand, is really fucking cute, and is a good replacement.

Update 6/29 - With the exception of one move added, very minor changes. --- Smarks Name: KingofOldSchool Wrestler Name: Manson Height: 6' Weight: 230 Hometown: Denver, Colorado Age: 23 Face/Heel: Tweener. Stable: None. Tag Partners: None. Ring Escort: None. Weapons: Basically anything and everything. Quote: None. Looks: General: White. He has dark eyes, a neatly trimmed beard and medium-length black hair, often worn loose. Covering his back is a phoenix taking flight, and from his hands to his forearms are tribal flames. Muscular and well-defined, but not outlandishly so, probably closer to Lance Storm. He wears faded blue jeans, with black kneepads worn on the outside and black boots worn underneath. Waist up he wears sparse white tape around his hands and up to his forearms, black elbow pads and an optional sleeveless black t-shirt. When not in matches and away from the ring, you'll likely catch him in jeans, boots, a black t-shirt and his trademark black leather jacket. Ring Entrance: The house lights dim and multi-colored strobes flash as "Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck" by Prong hits to the ovation of the fans. Manson emerges, heads straight down the ramp and rolls into the ring. Upon standing he immediately heads to his corner where he waits on his opponent. Attributes: Strength 6 (Enough strength that he can toss those around his weight and lower or hold his own against those much bigger than him. Just don't expect him to lift someone Janus size easily or regularly) Speed 4 (Comes across in his quick reactions, how fast he can get moves off and running speed. However, the flying elbow or suicide dive is as agile as he gets. Will typically go to the top once in a blue moon) Vitality 7 (He can take a good deal of punishment and although he never no-sells, he's relentless and it takes plenty of effort to keep him down) Charisma 3 (Talks adequately in short spurts, saying no more than he needs to, but he rarely gets on the mic. Over due to his strong ringwork and recognizability with the fans. His voice is fairly rough) Style: In general, he's a nasty brawler and power move kind of guy. However, in the past, he has been known to use plenty of submissions, chain wrestling and limited, simple mat wrestling. Will use elbows, forearms and punches. Simply kicking and kneeing his opponents is a favorite tactic of his. Is a serious blue collar worker. He plays no favorites and will hit everyone just as hard. He will fight dirty and will cheat, but is far from being a coward, as he'll rarely back down from confrontation. Signature moves: 1) STO 2) German Suplex 3) Northern Lights Suplex 4) Spinning Fisherman's Suplex (Saturn's Moss Covered Three Handled Family Credenza) 5) Front Sit-Out Suplex 6) Powerbomb 7) Gokuraku Gatame (Back Mounted Crossarm Choke) 8) Spinebuster 9) Fujiwara Armbar 10) Yakuza Kick Common moves: 1) Backdrop Suplex 2) Overhead Belly-Belly Suplex 3) Side Belly-Belly Suplex 4) DDT 5) Stun Gun 6) Back Breaker 7) Shoulder Breaker 8) Shin Breaker 9) Dragon Screw 10) Suicide Dive 11) 2nd Rope Legdrop 12) Knees - knee lifts - knee drops - running high knee 13) Kicks - low roundhouse - standard kicks and stomps 14) Elbows - back elbow - back elbow (running) - spinning elbow (standing) - spinning back elbow (standing) 15) Other - lariat - knifedge chops - short chop to neck Rare Moves: 1) Suplexes (Dragon, Tiger and Exploder) 2) Last Rites (Inverted facelock spinning neckbreaker) 3) M-Driller (Gutwrench to inverted piledriver) 4) Savage Elbow (Standard flying elbow) 5) Rings of Saturn (Double arm version) Finishers: 1) Consequences (Diamond Cutter) 2) Elevated Half Crab Notes: Heaps of anger and bitterness, but instead of it hampering him as it has in the past, with a bunch of empty threats, he turns it to his advantage with a renewed work ethic and passion. Simply put, he feels he is one of the best, and is dead set on proving it. Has a take no prisoners attitude, and his general outlook is one of cold distance and slight disdain with no allegiances. Bio, History: Born and raised in Denver. At 17 he goes to train in the Hart Dungeon, afterward traveling the world to wrestle. He's billed as a phenom and rapidly gains a following, but suffers neck injuries in Mexico. He rehabs frantically and signs with the (then) IGNWF. On November 7, 2001 he makes his debut as "The Mafia" Tommy Gunn in the IGNJL, later shortening his name to Mafia. He joins up with Havoc (Stryke, Renegade, Annie (Eclectic) Onita, Sydney Sky) in early 2002. After Havoc breaks apart a short time later, he takes a part in forming The New Sound. As the dominant heel stable, they prepare to become the sWo under mentor Chris Wilson, but Mafia takes a leave as this occurs. In August 2002, Mafia returns as Manson, his worked real name. He feuds with his ex-teammates in the sWo. As a newly turned face he picks up steam, but aggravates old injuries in a match with Wildchild. In March 2003 he returns. He meets success, and later turns from heel to face for the latter part of the year. This is his greatest point, as he remains in top contention for the SJL World Championship, running up against Crow, Charlie Matthews, John Duran, Insane Luchador and Aecas, among others. In December 2003, after a Cage Match loss to Todd Royal for the title, he takes a leave. He questions who he is and who he was in this for. So he turns his back on the fans, but before he can pick up where he left off in pursuing the title, the SJL shuts down. In the new year at Clusterfuck '04, he makes his SWF debut, but faces more difficulties and losses, leading him to become jaded with the SWF. He heads off to work in Japan. While in Japan, his failures in the SWF eat away at him. He rededicates himself to his training and finds the fire he was missing, as he decides to sign a new contract with the SWF, in order to prove himself.

Moments, or rather, hours after the final SJL show ever has ended, Manson traverses the halls of the Gund, his leather jacket on over a fresh black t-shirt, a duffel bag slung over his shoulder and a bandage on his forehead. He's one of the last to leave, having stayed late, mourning the death of the SJL, while celebrating a new beginning. This has been his home for years, ever since the IGNJL signed him up in November 2001 and put him to work soon after. Previous to his signing, he was out of luck, having broken his neck in Mexico and struggling just to get back in ring shape. The IGNJL, and by proxy, the IGNWF saved him. The memories of the past few years swirl in his head. He thinks of the first gimmick saddled on him, the psychotic hit man Mafia. His thoughts then drift onto a little ill fated stable by the name of Havoc, consisting of himself, Stryke, Renegade, Sydney and Annie. He then goes onto The New Sound... with Matt Myers and Insane Luchador later brought into the mix, and as if by coincidence, Andrew Rickmen speaks with Jacob Helmsley on the other side of the corridor. As Manson passes them by, he gives a knowing nod to them both. IL and Helmsley reciprocate, as Manson continues on his way. Even through the frequent injuries, disappointments, dropped storylines and gimmick changes, he aspired to be the best, and he knew this was where he wanted to do it. Eventually the new class came in, as some of those he got to know so well moved on, but he remained. Even though his old friends were gone, he found new ones. And still, some old ones were with him through it all, tearing it up all the way to the bitter end. But even after all that, and after thinking about his loss versus Aecas hours ago, he thinks that from this point on, it doesn't even matter. The trials and tribulations of the SJL, the friendships and good times. It's no longer important or relevant. He finally has what he's always wanted, a fresh start in the SWF and a chance to show what he can do; a chance to show that he CAN match up with the very best. As he walks out of the arena, his thoughts flash forward to Clusterfuck, and his chance... "To finally prove that I belong..."

So... Just now bne003 went kaput, and everyone that was in there was disconnected. bne001 is the only one that works right now, so the party's in there, I guess. Well, fuck, bne002 is up now as well.

Yes, they're trying to catch lightning in a bottle with Orton. Of course, the Rock happened by accident. Meanwhile they're trying to force it with Orton, and not doing a good job, with the fans still not taking to Orton like they did the Rock.

I call shenanigans. I think Gargoyles is enough of a dark horse selection to not warrant Kim Possible. When the word 'classic' is used in the sub-heading, I don't think of Kim Possible of all things. Especially when it's at the expense of something like TMNT. Anyway, although I loved most of the shows listed, Thundercats stands out above the rest for me.
