The Story of XTREME PRO WRESTLING
Corey_Lazarus replied to LucharesuFan619's topic in General Wrestling
Ask Lawless what the hell he actually said during the promo when Damien Steel bought the XPW title off of him. All I could understand was "I like the green and black better than this piece of gold. Have it man, it's yours." -
Really, Agent? Because when I think of gay sex, I think of one man fucking another one up the ass. If you find homoeroticism in wrestling, outside of the flamboyant gimmicks like Billy & Chuck, Rico, the Rainbow Express, etc., then maybe you have some sexuality issues of your own to think about.

I don't mean the BIG names in the business, like the free agents of Austin, Foley, Goldberg, Hogan, etc. I mean TNA's uppercard and main event, namely Raven, Abyss, Jarrett, AJ Styles, Truth, and Monty Brown. Having these guys in squash matches (aside from Styles, who they seem to actually try to only use as a midcard talent when he's THE most over worker in the entire company) not only demonstrates TNA's ineffectiveness of using their roster's talents and strengths, but also shows, to me anyway, that they don't want fans to watch the shows and wonder who will win, considering it's obvious that the uppercard worker (ex. Abyss) will win a match against a no-name indy jobber (ex. all of Abyss' opponents on Velocity...er...Impact thus far). I was also talking about Impact. And my point remains: if the quality of the ENTIRE show rests on the laurels of two matches? Then in no way, shape, or form could it be considered a GOOD show. That would be like putting Willem DaFoe and Edward Norton, two incredible actors, into a movie the quality of The Toxic Avenger Part II. Just because there are two highlights doesn't mean the WHOLE thing could be considered good. Yes. I'll agree. They're actually booking towards Victory Road actually mattering. Unfortunately, I have faith in TNA fucking it all up, so I'm not shelling out anything more than $25 for a 3-hour TNA PPV, especially considering I stopped paying $10 for a 2-hour TNA PPV. One of TNA's big problems, Jarrett and Mantel's booking aside, is that the matches that deserve 15-20 minutes are condensed into 5-10, and the matches that shouldn't be anymore than 5-10 minutes go 10-15 minutes long. When you have something that could attract more fans than you are now, as is the case with the X-Division, and don't push it to its full potential? That's asking for trouble. That would be as if Vince McMahon never pushed Steve Austin past the midcard after WrestleMania 13. Too drastic of a comparison? Not really, when you take into account that TNA's first fans came for the X-Division and stayed because the whole show was entertaining, which is EXACTLY how the Attitude era became the WWF's most profitable era to date (people came in to see Steve Austin, and continued watching because of the quality of the rest of the show).

Man...that fat bitch over there's beginning to look like Lizzie Maguire! **glug, glug, glug**

D. Suck it up, get to bed, and have a smoke when you wake up. Be a man, faggot.

Before I download, I'd like to know whether or not this sounds like every other Velvet Revolver song. And who originally did "Surrender," because I'm not downloading a song by a band I don't like that much covering a song I'm not sure if I like or not.

I'd have my doubts about that, because the most recent Kobashi I've seen, Kobashi/Nagata from around May last year, sucked balls.

Squash matches give the bigger names a chance to get on the show. Remove them, and you could maybe fit in one decent match in their place at most. And what's wrong with having two bigger names facing off against each other? Oh, right, NOTHING. Nitro and Raw drew in record numbers by having their biggest stars wrestle each other, and for a company to try to go back to the dark ages of the early 90's by filling their shows with squash matches and useless video packages is preposterous. If you removed the squash matches, you could fit two decent matches in their place by simply shortening the "angle development" that usually takes forever, and maybe not airing ONE of the videos. That says a lot about how poor the show is when they RELY on two matches to have people order instead of giving the fans a reason to give a fuck.

Bull. Fucking. Shit. The man was the one of the most over people in the company from the time when he debuted until he left for his first tour of Japan. He faced Jeff Jarrett in the main event for the NWA World title when Jarrett still faced people that could possibly beat him, and was AJ Styles' first opponent when AJ first won the title. He got some of the loudest reactions each week, and his matches were HOT. But no, he wasn't over. Riiiiight. His feud with AJ produced a couple *** matches, and his tag matches when AJ was his partner were pretty damn solid. Nothing was TERRIFIC, but compared to the other people on the roster at the time (and today) that weren't X-Division? He was one of the top 5 workers in the company (hanging with Styles, Daniels, Ki, and Sabin).

My father's grandmother was born and raised in Glasgow, and moved to America with her husband, who was from London. So my dad is primarily Scottish and English, more so Scottish as his mother's grandparents were also from Scotland and Scottish-laden villages in Canada. My mother is half Portuguese, as her father was from Portugal and moved to America during his teens, and her mother has roots in France, Italy, Ireland, Germany, and even Spain, I think. I like to consider myself a Scotchuguese bastard.

True, the ending was cooler, but it, all around, just isn't as good as the second one, and I blame this on the writer/director trying to focus too much on action scenes and not enough on the story. Like I said..."TALK TO THE HAND," WHAT THE FUCK?! The second one just had a better story, and I honestly feel they should've stopped there, considering an upper ending for a movie of this sort is usually "the heroes survive," as in the first one, but this one was "the heroes prevented the war." There's an excellent line at the end of the movie that I love so much, and just makes me feel that there was more to T2 than the story itself, but also a metaphor or a commentary on life itself. The line is "if a machine can learn to value human life, maybe someday we can too." Now THAT is a great line. And let's not get into the soundtrack. T3's soundtrack had a bastardized version of the theme song, and a decent song by Blue Man Group and Gavin Rossdale. T2 had a great theme song, and a killer soundtrack including GNR when they were at their peak. Plus...BUDNICK~!! EDIT: Also, TX is only an improvement over T-1000 in the looks department. The character of the TX isn't explored at all, unlike T-1000, as T-1000 was more of a mind games killer than the upfront assault of TX. TX was just a common ground between Ahnie and T-1000, and that common ground didn't work too well in my eyes, especially considering I can't buy a machine that's supposed to have made Ahnie obsolete being defeated by Ahnie. I forget who made the connection, but it's the same as if Hulk Hogan were to defeat Bryan Danielson today.

Try to find the Sabotage/Adrenaline and Maverick Wild/Antonio Thomas NECW match from March '04. ***1/2 for Sabotage/Adrenaline, and ***3/4 for Wild/Thomas, IMO. Easily the best matches NECW has produced until Birthday Bash '04 (only saying this because I haven't seen Birthday Bash '04 yet, but I think they're giving free copies to those at the DVD release party next week, which I'm attending).

It's simple. I don't want a reason to wait for NEXT WEEK'S show. I want a reason to watch THIS WEEK'S show. If they can't please me NOW, why should I believe they'll please me TOMORROW?
-
I fully plan on writing-in Hulk Hogan.

My buddy Jason will go see it. All you need to do is tell him there's something about Johnny Cash, or with Johnny Cash, and he'll see it/get it.

Offspring's greatest hits will NEED new material on it. I mean...these are the songs I can think of, off the top of my head, that would be on it: "Gotta Get Away" "Come Out And Play" "Self Esteem" "Gone Away" "Pretty Fly (For A White Guy)" "Go Get A Job" "The Kids Aren't Alright" (best post-Smash Offspring songs, hands-down) "Original Prankster" "Hit That" 9 songs. Now, if these were 10-15 minute epics, yeah, it'd work. But these are 3 minutes and 30 seconds punk tunes. We're looking at perhaps 30 minutes worth of an album, and any greatest hits record should be damn near an hour.

My favorite manual of all-time is from SNES' Alien 3 game. The game was "blah" at best, but the manual made up for its blandness by having the whole thing written in first-person perspective...by Lt. Ellen Ripley herself.

Just gimme a couple zombies, and I'll be a happy camper.

Well...maybe he had those special sunglasses that Rowdy Roddy had in They Live that allowed him to see the aliens that were being trained their by our government for special reconaissance and assassination purposes. After all, nobody ever suspects a 3-year-old of carrying out a systematic murder.

"I Have AIDS" is always a goodie that never gets used.

3 of the 5 matches are squashes. Over HALF of the show is based around squash matches and hype video's. This sounds like a "good show" to you?

CoreyLazarus416 Corey_Lazarus That's it. I've always been Laz here.

I'm still having trouble getting used to the engine. I made my guy a martial artist, but maybe I should've put him as a kickboxer or a wrestler, considering in games such as this I usually do a good bit of kicks and then a grapple.
