Styles

I so hope he comes to University of Delaware!

Piper's first appearence was pretty shocking. I recall everyone enjoying the Road Warriors showing up too.

I haven't seen this anywhere else. Is it an official WWE release? There has to be at least 1 classic wargames as an extra, right? right?

This was sent out as another fun feature of the TNA email newsletter. Enjoy! Point/Counterpoint Raven & Shane Douglas square off in a pre-match war of words READ ON AND LET US KNOW WHO YOU THINK WON THIS VERBAL BATTLE! E-MAIL US AT [email protected]! To the TNA Fans: Shane Douglas is a filthy, wretched, despicable, two-faced, backstabbing, out of shape, past his prime, reprobate. I will shave his hair Wednesday night. I refuse to believe that he even has a chance of shaving mine. I have come up with solutions for every conceivable problem he has thrown at me. Make no mistake about it, whether I'm victorious or defeated and shamed, someone will be shaved bald. This won't be some feeble and hapless attempt to garner buy rates by bringing up stipulations that someone is going re-neg on. There it is... two men walk in - one man walks out to glory, the other to humiliation; a psychic scar that is not easily healed. Welcome to Raven's Clockwork Orange House of Fun. Quote the Raven......Nevermore. Well, well, well... Raven thinks flattery will curb my desire to physically maim and cripple him in this hair -vs- hair match. Well, Raven, kissing my ass will get you nothing more than my ire. You accuse me of being a "filthy, wretched despicable, two-faced, back-stabbing, out-of-shape, past his prime, reprobate". Well just as I do to my opponents in the ring, let me systematically analyze, and then debunk (or agree!) with you charge. I plead guilty to the charge of wretched despicability. I am that, indeed, and so much more. I am hatred incarnate when it comes to my opponents in the ring. As for being two-faced and a back-stabber, it takes one to know one but show me a successful wrestler in this sport and we are, each and every one of us, guilty to that charge. This is a business where those qualities are rewarded, so to be competetive, you had best be both of those terrible things. Perhaps you'd have been more successful in your career had you been a bit more familiar with those attributes. As for being "out of shape and past my prime", I will respond by saying I WAS in the worst shape of my career a mere three months ago. However, every fan can see for themselves that I have not only gotten back in shape, but I have gotten into perhaps the best shape I've been in since my distinguished and glorious run as THE GREATEST ECW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF ALL TIME!!! And that's what this is really all about isn't it Raven... this is all about our legacies in this sport. You see, Raven, no two men can occupy the same mountain top. No two men can be the greatest. You claim that you are a wrestler of destiny. Hitler, and many others like him, also avowed destiny as their own. Well, Raven, as history showed all of those wannabe jabronies, you too are sailing right into a quagmire. You do indeed have a rendezvous with A destiny. But WHAT destiny is the question! Let me suggest that your awaiting destiny is defeat and ridicule. You know Raven, I am man enough to admit that you are one hell of a talent in this sport. However, you are not, nor will you ever be a Franchise!!! You have a knack for remunerating things exactly as they are. You are so very right when you state that this match will live up to its billing. One of us will definitely walk out bald. Unlike another said company that promised such and then gave the loser - Kevin Nash - a stylish coif. No, the loser of this match will shine like a billiard ball. If I should lose this match I will allow my head to be shaved bald because, if nothing else, I have always been a man of my word. You stated that you believe you have formed solutions to any concievable problem I can throw at you. Please keep believing that... your theory will be put to the test. Raven, you are a man of exceptional ability but, again you are no Franchise. You are a man of honed skill, but you are no Franchise. You are a man that has sucked up to every corporate entity you have worked for in this sport (ie: Vince McMahon's Johnny Polo; WCW's Scotty The Body; and, yes, Paul Heyman's Raven) and its gotten you nothing until now. By sucking up to the TNA honchos, you've been able to corner me into a match (hair -vs- hair) that I would have never, and should have never agreed to. To the fans, all I will say is.. you will get what you want (Hmmm!!!). See you at the Asylum, HaHaHaHa! Shane Douglas

Gay Triplet! Its like The Butcher, The Baker, and The Candelstick Maker! (Im assuming the Russians make candlesticks)

Should Paul Levesque ever say something like that? I mean considering HIS matches and all... HHH is a careful worker, I don't think he's ever hurt anyone in the ring. Oh, and first person to bring a "HHHello?" sign to RAW is my hero.

At least he'll get the time to heal. At the rate he was going, this kid would be broken down by 25.

You beat me to it.

fuck. I had no idea this was on and missed it. Will it be repeated at all?

This makes Mikey Mad.

Bingo.

Just skip the endless Keith is full of himself and overrated nonsense, I think its a very cool thing that the TNA 1 cent show is being hyped by an internet writer with such a large readership that likely consists of many who have never heard of TNA. This can only help get out the word more. This show really made me want to buy the PPV! The NWA-TNA $0.01 PPV, that is. The SmarK RAW Rant – September 8 2003 - Hey, why don’t you skip this RAW crap and check out my Best of Japan 2002, Volume 2 rant, or better yet, buy the one cent NWA TNA PPV on Wednesday. I will personally be taking a pass on recapping a recap show, but it’ll be WELL worth the price for the cage match alone. - Live from Mike Huntsville, AL. - Your hosts are JR & King. - Opening match, cage match: Kane v. RVD. Kane may have survived the fires of hell, but he’s sure got a nasty shaving rash. Maybe that’s why he wore the mask all those years. Kane attacks to start and gets a corner clothesline, but Rob boots him out of the corner and follows with a dive out of the corner, but gets tossed into the cage. Rob does a wussy bladejob, ON CAMERA, while Kane chokes him on the ropes. I mean, he was literally sitting there blading himself with his face in the camera! Geez. Kane keeps tossing him around, but Rob fights back as JR & King recap the retarded storyline. SO HOW DID HE ESCAPE? A powerbomb is blocked by Rob, but Kane boots him down. To the top, but he gets crotched. Rob goes up with a missile dropkick and Rolling Thunder, but Kane does the situp and prevents Rob from leaving. They fight up there and Rob kicks him down and follows with a frog splash, which misses. Powerbomb onto the ropes and Rob gets sent into the cage again a couple of times, and the cage ruptures, giving RVD the win at 8:35. Uh, okay. Bischoff quickly comes out and points out that it’s either over the top or through the door, not through the cage. He’s got a point. So we take a break and continue. We return with Kane battering RVD into the cage. Rob finally grows a set and tries climbing out, but Kane stops him and gives him a sloppy chokeslam to the mat for the pin at 14:10. JR notes it’s “mercifully over”. Truer words were never spoken. What a snoozefest. ½* Hey, if you’re looking for a GREAT cage match, check out the NWA-TNA one-cent show on Wednesday, for the Daniels & Skipper v. America’s Most Wanted title match that was ****3/4 and probably will win Match of the Year. - Bischoff joins us while the cage is taken down, to make Shane v. Kane for the PPV (wasn’t that already announced even before Summerslam?) and to make the announcer fight into Coach & Snow v. JR & King for the rights to host RAW. Wow, this is the greatest PPV ever! Hey, you know which PPVs HAVEN’T sucked lately? NWA-TNA. Check out their one-cent PPV on Wednesday. And finally, tonight will see a tag match involving Goldberg, HHH, and the dreaded mystery partners. - Meanwhile, Goldust builds up Storm’s confidence. Speaking of Canada, the NWA-TNA PPV is an even better deal in Canada, because it’s one cent Canadian, which is like ¼ cent US! - Lance Storm v. Rico. Oh, this is gonna die. Rico encourages the fan to chant boring, so Storm attacks him and Goldust encourages a “Rico Sucks” chant instead. That doesn’t last. Storm gets a delayed suplex for two. Rico knees him into the corner and gets a short-arm clothesline for two. Rico skips with the ref and goes to the eyes, while JR & King talk about their huge PPV match. I love the irony of JR defending Storm as not boring and then the announcers totally ignoring the match to talk about themselves. Rico gets two off a bulldog and hits the chinlock. Storm with a high kick for two. He puts a move on Jackie Gaida and finishes with a dropkick at 2:44. The post-match celebration dance is a bit scary. ½* - Meanwhile, HHH wants to know who the mystery partners are, but Bischoff isn’t forthcoming. - Trish Stratus & Jackie v. Molly Holly & Gail Kim. Oh, boy, more TV time for Jackie. She gets an armdrag on Molly to start and a rollup for two. Gail comes in and gets hammered by Jackie, who gets a seated dropkick for two. Trish inadvertently distracts the ref, allowing the heels to double-DDT Jackie, and Gail gets two. Gail forces Trish in and gets pounded as a result, as Trish dropkicks them and does the double noggin knocker. Or is that a double knockers knocker? Anyway, backdrop for Kim and a double headscissors follow, but she gets dumped while trying a bodyblock and Kim gets the pin at 3:09. LAME. Best match of the show so far. ¾* Hey, you know which PPV WON’T feature any women’s matches (unless you count Sean Waltman) – NWA-TNA this Wednesday! - I must now once again direct you to Justin Shapiro’s Heat recap on wrestlingobserver.com, and specifically the funniest bit of “fantasy booking” I’ve read in months. It took all my willpower not to steal it myself. That’s how funny it is. Check it out, and make sure to at the very least scroll to the bottom if the idea of Sunday Night Heat in general bores you as much as it does me. http://www.liveaudiowrestling.com/wo/news/...lt.asp?aID=8352 - State of RAW Address: Austin announces that…SHOCK OF SHOCKS…there will be NO DISQUALIFICATION in the title match at Unforgiven! OH MY GOD! THIS IS HUGE! So he moves onto the Kane situation, as Austin complains about being unable to beat people up, until Christian interrupts. He’s tired of not getting any respect. So he wants a talk show to replace the Highlight Reel. Jericho now interrupts, and attacks him. Is that a face turn? The crowd immediately buys into it, if so. But then Jericho verbally turns on Austin and tries to provoke him into beating him up, but Austin wants to make peace and offers him a beer. But Jericho is suspicious. What is this, a house show? Jericho asks for a “Doo Wa Diddy Diddy Dum Diddy Doo” from the crowd, which was pretty funny. And then of course Austin gives him a stunner. What a pointless segment. I mean, literally, it was 20 minutes with NO POINT. Hey, you know what DOES have a point? The NWA-TNA PPV on Wednesday, which is there to expose you to the recent greatness of their booking and work. And all for a penny! Plus taxes, of course, so that might break a few of you. - La Resistance, Mark Henry, Rodney Mack & Rob Conway v. The Hurricane, Rosey and the Dudley Boys. It’s a big brawl to start and the Dudleys clean house, and Spike gets tossed on the French. Hurricane dives onto Mack, as Henry just stands there. Wazzup on Dupree and tables are gotten. Rosey misses a splash on Dupree, and Conway comes in for a double-team, but gets clotheslined. Spike comes in with a stomp from the top, but a cheapshot turns the tide. Mark tosses Spike around, but misses a charge. Hurricane gets the hot tag and gets a neckbreaker on Conway, and Dupree gets pinballed by Bubba & Hurricane. Henry appears to be hurt badly on the outside. Hurricane and Rosey double-team Dupree, but Rosey misses a charge and Conway gets a neckbreaker on Hurricane, but walks into 3D. Mack breaks it up, but gets Bubbabombed. Henry returns (dammit) and powerslams Bubba for the pin at 4:42 to completely kill the crowd. A complete and utter mess. Then, in a completely stupid and dangerous move, La Resistance tries to chokeslam Spike from the ring through a table outside, but his head bounces off the edge and slams into the floor. And yet these idiots are still tag champions. ½* By the way, if you want to see a GREAT tag team championship team, check out the NWA-TNA PPV on Wednesday and see why AMW are a shoo-in for tag team of the year! - Meanwhile, Bischoff makes…wait for it…a TABLES MATCH with Dudleys and La Resistance and friends. SHOCKING. Didn’t see that coming. Hope they don’t kill Spike the next time. - Meanwhile, HHH plugs YJ Stinger while yakking about Goldberg. - Unforgiven rundown: - Shane v. Kane - Shawn v. Orton - Dudleyz v. La Resistance table match - Coach & Snow v. JR & King - Goldberg v. HHH This is like a parody of a PPV or something. Hey, if you only have to buy one PPV this month, make it the TNA PPV this Wednesday, just one cent! - Live from Stamford, it’s Shane. But Bischoff cuts in and makes it a Last Man Standing match. Sure, gimmick up the show instead of making good matches, whatever. - Meanwhile, Molly & Gail plot to end Trish’s career FOREVER. - Steven Richards v. Scott Steiner. Test is advising Richards this week as the neverending feud drags on. Steiner quickly pounds him in the corner and chops him down, but he gets distracted by Victoria and Richards gets a neckbreaker for two. Steiner shrugs him off with an overhead suplex and the belly-to-belly, and he drops the elbow. Victoria distracts him again and Test gets the full-nelson slam on him, as Richards gets two. Steviekick is block and the Flatliner finishes at 2:30. Who cares anymore? All the matches have sucked, neither guy is over, just end it. Match at least broke one star. * Oh, and then the BEST PART: At the PPV, it’s Test v. Steiner (again), with Stacy on the line (again), but if Steiner loses, he’s Test’s bitch. Well, the literal stipulation is that Steiner has to watch Test have sex with Stacy, but if you read between the lines, Test obviously wants BUTT-SEX. Who WOULDN’T want to buy this show now? Hey, you know which PPV DOESN’T feature any man-on-man BUTT-fucking action that I’ve seen yet? NWA-TNA. All the sexual deviance is at least confined to chicks. And Sean Waltman, but that’s more of a general mental problem. - Coach and Snow are in the ring to make fun of JR, and we get the HI-LAR-I-OUS “paste JR’s head on dumb photos” gag. JR gets goaded into the ring by Coach and lays him out, and then shoves Snow out of the ring. Oh boy, let me put down my $34.95 right now. I’d suggest saving $34.94 and buying the TNA show on Wednesday instead. - HHH & Ric Flair v. Goldberg & Randy Orton. Wow, and I had guessed they’d go the other way and reverse the partners. No match, as it’s a big beatdown on Goldberg and they lower the cage. Guess HHH decided he’d shown enough ass for now. He makes sure to add the Pedigree, and can’t even go down for it with his injuries, so they do it again, which is clearly yelled out on camera. Wow, bet Goldberg’s fans loved that segment. The Bottom Line: Another terrible show in a series of them building up to a PPV with no good matches on the horizon. On the other hand, don’t forget to check out the NWA-TNA $0.01 PPV this Wednesday, which WON’T suck, features a bunch of good matches, and is very affordable given you’re getting a MOTYC for basically free. Man, with all this promotion, TNA should give me a cut of the money from the show this week! Why, that should be almost…um… Oh, crap.

it was at the end of my Smackdown tape. Unless it's supposed to be a clever parody of a dumb sitcom (including fake laugh tracks), it was seriously one of the worst shows I've ever seen.

You're kidding. Really? When did you see it? Did anyone order it off the website? I would have bought it for sure...

Nope. Live show. They've done a couple angles where Douglas has snipped off pieces of Raven's hair though, so perhaps that's what you saw...

Was this just sold at the arenas? Will it be made avaliable online? It seems kinda odd to market something as "Volume 2" if you've never sold "Volume 1" to the public.

um, did I miss Volume I?

That's what I call long term booking! Have the babyface get beat down by the heel match after match until he makes his big comeback and defeats the heel once and for all in the end!

Yeah really, talk about a nice Jewish girl! Saudi Arabia like the rest of the Muslim world anti-semetic, threatened by the modern world and blame their irrational latter concerns on the former, even when it has absoultely nothing to do with Jews.

Beautifully stated Marney. I have nothing else to add.

Of course it's a fake. Since when does Goldberg spend time after the show to sign autographs?

-Styles vs. Lynn-the revival! -6 man X division tag! -Raven vs. Douglas hair vs. hair (the blowoff to a hot and well excecuted feud). -Piper probably saying something that will get TNA sued. Everything else looks decent too. The streak should continue...

http://cnn.netscape.cnn.com/news/story.jsp...07&floc=NW_5-L2 Unsettling timing obviously for a new video to be released, especially one that shows he's indeed alive and well. Frolicing in flowers apprently. Will we ever get this guy?
