King Cucaracha

So, who'll be posting the show?

When is HBK supposed to get back from his injury? I actually believe that if they have the time, they'll do Angle/HBK this year at Mania. I could then see Taker/Kane vs. Heidenreich/Snitsky as another inter-promotional match. That'd leave Orton to win the Rumble and then the title at Mania (which he absolutely has to after he got the shaft with that one month reign) from Triple H. Cena'll win a number one contender dealy and go on to Mania to beat JBL for the belt. Also, The Rock'll probably be back for his Mania appearance...I see Rock vs. Edge at Mania. If not, then swap the first two for Taker/Angle and uhm...I dunno, Snitsky/Kane rematch and Eddie/Heidenreich.

Uhm, no, wasn't it because the forum kept collapsing?

If you're ranking the Dudleys, then put in the entire clan. As for importance, they deserve ranking. Towards the latter days of ECW The Dudleys were making big stories. The 3-D became the number on tag finisher in the world. They were involved in the first flaming tables incidents (or, at least I think the first)...broke Beulah's neck. Won the Tag Titles a large number of times. They were credited with breaking up the Gangstas, The Eliminators and driving off The PE. So they deserve a ranking. Hell, if you ask me then Bubba's plancha warrants ranking on it's own. Kido- Snow's run with the Head was gimmick was short, but he was UBER over...to the point that he got boosted to the main event within a couple of months on crowd reactions alone. Not sure how 'influencial' to ECW he was, but the run was awesome.

Well, I haven't started my stuffs yet Mr NYU, but I'm a very dis-organised person, so yeah. I still say we should have the show on Sunday.

Okay, it's been long enough without comment now. Major sleeper show. Davis writes something which is goods. The four CFC matches delivered...Sacred writing another cracker, Spike showing everybody his skeelz once more, King with a rock solid match and me flipping off the board for being such a bitch. Ghost (I know who it is!!!) gets a win. And Toxxic continues to beat everyone in sight. Can anyone in the CFC beat him?

The Elimination Chamber OAOAST Heavyweight Championship Sly Sommers vs. Crystal vs. Axel vs. Drek Stone vs. Ragdoll vs. Chris Stevens The smart money would be on Drek I suppose and seeing as I'm smart, that's where my money will go. Zack Malibu/??? vs. The Global Party XChange GPX, for the same sort of reason that Drek said. Zack doesn't really need to beat the GPX, while the GPX are the Tag Champs and would benefit from beating Zack and partner. No-Disqualification OAOAST X-Division Championship Leon Rodez© vs. The Mad Cappa Who knows? I don't! Or do I? No! "Invitation to Anarchy!" Glory By Anarchy vs. The Skulls vs. The Fanboys vs. The Love Doctors vs. The Tethers vs. The Full Blooded Aussies vs. South Central Militia vs. The Illuminators vs. The Frankensteiners vs. Chris and James Uhm, see above. I'm really not sure but it's going to be off the wall whatever happens. Grudge Match Panther vs. Brock Ausstin Ausstin as I think I know what may go down. Hell's Hitmen vs. The New New Midnight Express I'll go with the Hitmen, just because they're crazy mofos. Black T vs. The Love Doctors Love Doctors, pullin' double duty. So obviously Black T'll win. Alex Bryant vs. Jonas Smith Bryant. The Phenom vs. Pheonix And, this one is pretty darned obvious.

Well, my match is obviously pretty important too, to set the scene for TSW. So until we get a replacement poster to send stuff to of until Hoff is back, might as well put this here. They return backstage as an excited Mad Cappa talks over with Josh Matthews about tonight's match. Josh: "We are here with The Mad Cappa, who has just returned from vacation..." Cappa: "Yeah." Josh: ".... and tonight he has a match with the X-Division champion Leon Rodez!" Cappa: "Finally, tonight, I have a shot at the X title for the first time since April of last year." Josh: "About tonight Cappa, the board has decided that tonight's match is non-title!" Cappa: (with a surprised look) "Um, WHAT?!" Josh: "Yes, since you have just returned from vacation, the board felt that ..." Cappa: "Bull(*bleeped*)! Yea, whatever! (*Bleeped!*)" (Walks off.) Josh: (With a surprised look.) (mutters with a throat motion) "Cut away!" *GONG!* "YEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!" "GET DOWN, GET DOWN! GET DOWN, GET DOWN! GET DOWN, GET DOWN! GET DOWN, GET DOWN! GET DOWN, GET DOWN! GET DOWN, GET DOWN! GET DOWN, GET DOWN! GET DOWN, GET DOWN!" Through the curtains bursts Leon Rodez and it seems like it's time for some ACTION~! The crowd go wild for the X-Division Champ as he raises his belt in the air, smiling from ear to ear as he does so. BUFFER Ladies and gentlemen, the following non-title contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, the OAOAST X-Division Champion. From Grand Rapids, Michigan. He weighs in at two hundred eight pounds..."SILKY SMOOTH"... LEEEEEOOON RRROOODDEEEEZZZ!!! "YEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" Walking down the aisle, Rodez tags away at the outstretched hands of the fans before reaching the ring and rolling in. Still cheers fill the air, as Rodez pops up and again raises the gold into the air. But his posing is quickly interrupted, as The Mad Cappa is already striding his way down the aisle. "Let Me Clear My Throat (Old School Reunion Mix)" starts up belatedly as Cappa glares into the ring, no dancing and no hand slapping as there usually would be. BUFFER And the opponent. From Anacostia, Washington D.C...he weighs one hundred and eighty five pounds. He is THE MAAAAAD CAAAAAPPAAAAA!!! "YEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" Sliding into the ring, Cappa backs into the corner in a very business like manner, again not playing to the crowd at all. Rodez passes off his belt to the referee meanwhile, before going through some last minute stretches. COLE Uhm, okay. We're ready for Cappa versus Rodez... CABOOSE But is Cappa? COLE Well, Cappa is understandably disappointed he won't be getting a shot at the X-Division Title. But he's a professional. CABOOSE Looks like he's sulking to me. Leaning into the corner, Cappa stares absently mindedly at his fingernails as Rodez finishes up his stretches, while the referee checks that both men are ready. A nod from Rodez and a 'sure, whatever' from Cappa are good enough for him... *DING DING DING* ...and away we go. Immediately Rodez bounds out of the corner, Cappa a little more reserved as he exits his...the two men meeting in the centre of the ring and snapping into a tie-up. Rodez quickly locks on a side headlock but just as quickly gets pushed off by Cappa. Back shoots Rodez, knocking Cappa down with a shoulder block. But Cappa gets quickly back up, so Rodez hits the adjacent ropes and sends Cappa flying with a second big shoulder block. Hitting the mat, Cappa bounces back up again with Rodez quick to grab him and whip The Mad One across the ring and into the turnbuckles. Hitting hard, Cappa staggers out of the corner... *SMACK!* ...and STRAIGHT into a big-time superkick! COACH Man, that'll knock you five ways from Sunday! CABOOSE What the hell does that mean? COACH No idea. Having collapsed to the canvas, Cappa soon comes back around and slowly begins to pull himself using the ropes with a slightly vacant look in his eyes. Rodez grabs Cappa and pulls him from the ropes, getting little resistance from Cappa as he lays in a forearm. And a second. Still Cappa seems stunned, so Rodez whips him off the ropes and as he shoots back, lands a back elbow. Down goes Cappa and before he can even get a chance to recover, Rodez follows up with a legdrop. Popping back up, Rodez looks down at Cappa...and then to the crowd, smiling once more. "YEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHH!" COLE Well, Rodez in control here. CABOOSE And I don't think Cappa cares. Slowly, Cappa shakes off the cobwebs and begins to get back to his feet, being allowed to do so by Rodez. COLE Of course he cares 'Boose! Why would he not? CABOOSE It's non-title. There's nothing in this match for Cappa... COLE Pride. The winners money. Fighting for the sake of competition. Over staggers Cappa, getting caught with a boot to the gut by Rodez who then charges off the ropes. Cappa carelessly swings with a clothesline which misses by some way as Leon easily ducks under, manouevering around Cappa and locking him in a waistlock. But Cappa blocks the german suplex attempt and smashing Rodez in the face with a back elbow. Rodez staggers away, trying to regain his bearings as Cappa strolls in after the X-Division Champion... *SLAP!* "WHOOOO!" ...and the result is a knifedge chop from Rodez. Cappa clutches his chest and angrily swings a punch at Rodez. But he ducks, spinning around... *SLAP!* "WHOOOO!" ...and nailing another chop. Cappa growls and lunges at Rodez with a pissed off look, missing him by a good few inches and falling into the ropes. They bounce him back, into Rodez's waiting arms. A hiptoss looks to be coming, but Rodez catches Cappa in his arms on the way down, cradling him like a baby and pausing for a moment. The crowd knows what's coming, as Rodez summons the power of SNITSKY~! and takes Cappa from the baby like position up and rapidly down across a knee with the Shoop Shoop, Silky Scoop Loop! Cappa's back almost snaps in half from the impact, leaving him clutching his ribs in pain. But Rodez doesn't go for the pin, instead pulling Cappa up. COLE That may be a mistake from Rodez, by pulling Cappa up. But then again, a victory over Cappa so early would be unlikely. With Cappa slumping forward, Rodez pushes Cappa all the way back into the turnbuckles and opens him up... *SLAP!* "WHOOOO!" *SLAP!* "WHOOOO!" *SLAP!* "WHOOOO!" ...and three quick, hard chops follow. Cappa is really gasping for breath now as he stumbles from the corner and into Rodez, who hits a short clothesline. Reeling, Cappa pulls himself to his feet once more and staggers in, leaving himself WIDE open for another short clothesline. Up comes Cappa again and Rodez grabs him, scooping Cappa effortlessly off the canvas and slamming him down with authority. COACH For once, Rodez has the weight advantage enough to slam someone... COLE Woah, woah...wait a minute Coach. Rodez is going up! Leaving the ring, Rodez is indeed climbing to the top rope and the crowd rise to their feet accordingly. Cappa isn't moving. It seems he's a sitting duck as Rodez reaches the top floor and stops, motioning to the crowd quickly before springing off the ropes. Still Cappa is down as Rodez rotates through the 450 degrees... ...and LANDS Because The Lady Loves! COLE He hit it! He hit it already! The ref is shocked, the fans are shocked...even Rodez looks wide-eyed with surprise as he hooks the leg up! ONE! TWO! THREEE! COLE It's over! I don't believe it! *DING DING DING* Looking up, the surprise still fills Rodez's face as the bell is rung and the X-Division title passed to him. He takes it in his arms and quickly steps over Cappa to get his hand raised in the air. BUFFER Your winner of the match, LEON RODEZ! Rodez raises the gold in the air to cheers from the crowd, as the referee checks to see if Cappa is okay. CABOOSE I told you. Cappa's head wasn't in the game and now, he's on the end of an embarrasing loss. COLE I...don't know what to say. Leaping to the middle rope, Rodez again raises the belt and the crowd continue to cheer away. Meanwhile, across the ring, the referee is continuing to check on Cappa...who suddenly sits up! Understandably Cappa looks pretty darn angry as he looks across the ring and sees Rodez flaunting his belt to the fans. Rodez leaps down, turning to salute the other side of the arena. And sees Cappa sat up and glaring at him. Apologetically Rodez shrugs, helping Cappa up. COLE At least Cappa is okay. Or maybe not, as Cappa pulls away from Rodez and spits to the floor. Rodez tries his best not to look too smug as Cappa looks incredulous. But all the same, Rodez tries to cheer Cappa up, leading the crowd behind the quite clearly sore loser. "CAPPA! CAPPA! CAPPA!" And they respond. The crowd are getting right behind Cappa now with chants that seem to be mellowing Cappa, enough for Rodez to offer a handshake. COLE Yeah...go ahead! CABOOSE Oh, yeah, he's really gonna shake your hand after what just happened Leon. COLE Why not? We're all friends here! "GO CAPPA! GO CAPPA! GO CAPPA!" On go the chants as Rodez re-iterates his offer, with Cappa seemingly trying to fight back a smile now. But eventually, he can't...his anger washed away now, as Rodez smiles back. And sure enough, Cappa accepts the handshake! "YEEEEEAAAA...." WAIT, NO! A KICK... BUST A CAP!!!! COLE WHAT THE HELL!?! "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" CABOOSE I told you! Man, I am on a ROLL tonight. COLE NO! Cappa just...just... CABOOSE Just did what he had to do to make Watts sit up and take some damn notice! I don't believe I'm saying this, but Cappa did the right thing! The crowd are in shock, the chant now dead and buried, replaced by scathing boos as Cappa glares down at the fallen Rodez. A fire and fury fills his eyes, one that is rarely seen in the usual nice guy. One that the Cappa fans in attendance look stunned at. Finally Cappa breaks his glare away, turning to the outside and to Buffer... "Gimme the fuckin' mic!" ...making his requests clear. And Buffer wastes little time in nervously handing Cappa a microphone. "FINALLY! (deep breath!) That was a loonnng time coming!" (Boos from the crowd) "Oh SHUT UP! It's all about you guys anyways! Oh yeah! (sarcastic) Bein' all about the fans, what a load of (*bleeped*)! Almost two years and what do I get? A (*bleeped*) non title shot wit the X Chump!" (Chants of Leon start off small, but gradually gets louder!) "Oh wait a minute! SIT DOWN!" (Smacks Leon's head onto the mat!) "Oh don't even get me started about the World Heavyweight title! Time after time, I always get the shaft! Oh this Cappa guy is good and all, but he's not what we say is *World title material* (emphasizes with hooking fingers pointing down). Bull(*bleeped*)! I say (*bleep*) that (*bleep*)!" (The referee runs over to Cappa and warns him that they will get kicked off if he keeps up the tirade.) "So? Look, I don't give a (*bleep*) anymore! Leon! You didn't give me the courtesy to give me an X title shot, but to patronize me, you have this match instead. When am I worthy of a title shot? Huh? At this rate, maybe August of next year? So in case if everybody else is watching, time for a notice! Leon, you were the first! Now, until situations change around here, nobody is safe! Let me repeat! NO ONE IS SAFE! You can have your show back now!' (Kicks Leon's head!) "MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" (The Mad Cappa walks away to loud boos and trash being thrown at him. He laughs and flicks them off along the way and yells out "(*Bleep*) you!" The show quickly cuts awway to commercial break.)

I still think Shamrock could have made it to the upper echelon of workers. His mic-work left a lot to be desired, but it wasn't any worse than Benoit's is really. He had character, fan support, in-ring talent and credibility. The UFC background gave him a sense of legitimacy and he had probably the best treated submission hold at the time.

See, that's what I thought too Corey. Considering how much Corino looks up to Dusty I could certainly see Dusty trying to get him into TNA full-time and I could see Corino seriously considering it. Not sure what contractual obligations he has, if any, as far as Japan goes. And I'm sure the added attraction of the NWA World Championship being put on the line in Japan could benefit all parties, if Corino were to defend it along the lines that MLW did briefly with Kojima. On the contrary. Corino is certainly competant enough in the ring and on the mic to be a World Champion at TNA's level. Plus, he's a fresh face, as far as the company is concerned.

Calling all OAOASTers. Yes, even you Rando. Ever the glutton for punishment, I've had an idea for something pretty big (size wise rather than importance, but all the same...) for Thanksgiving Star Wars... *fights back laughter* So, if anyone has characters available that they would allow me to use, then post them here by next Thursday and I'll get the ball rolling. The one main condition is, I need tag teams. If you've only got a singles wrestler you want to offer then by all means do so, then I'll pair up as best possible. But I know there's plenty of tag teams sitting around not doing anything. The plan is, depending on how many wrestlers I have to use, for either a tag battle royal, a tag gauntlet or maybe something more interesting if my creative juices flow. And, either way, I can make sure characters don't look bad if you need them not to...just leave info if you want/need to as regard to storylines or whatever. Thanks in advance...

Technically, wouldn't the only way to compare say HHH/HBK to Y2J/HBK be if they had the exact same build-up, played before the exact same crowd, in the same month (at least) and with the same basic framework? Otherwise, surely it'd be easy to argue against either decision. And while we're on the subject, shouldn't every match be judged on merit, rather than saying 'Rock versus HHH was a Rock carry job' when describing every Rock/HHH match ever.

As far as fake injuries go, Angle wearing a cast over his suit pants (which, somehow, he managed to change from week to week) and Big Show having strapping around his ankle...and his boot. Both pretty darned stupid. Real ones, I don't know.

So, how long before Corino comes in and wins the NWA Title?

Glory By Anarchy have an idea for Thanksgiving Star Wars... ...with sexy results. Or...not.

Eh, I'll be getting it. I always get these type of DVDs and I was a major mark for ECW RVD. But, having seen 90% of the matches, I can say it's not that exciting of a line-up.

Thanks guys. Rando, I'll PM you in due course and I'll do a segment to build it on one of the HDs. Anyway...I make it 8 teams so far. If I get one more team before Thursday then I have an idea to make it ten. If not, then it's all cool. Thanks a lot fellahs.

In kayfabe, all WWE wrestlers are good wrestlers. If you meant Benoit should have just put on technical wrestling matches then it's understandable I suppose. But, if you're saying Benoit should have only booked matches to go *** and over, then if it's alluded to in any way, it buries the likes of Snitsky and Maven.

As unofficial head of title histories now, I've been updating every few days or so and noticed that Toxxic's reign has surpassed the recent rememberable reigns of Janus and Grappler and wondered where Toxxic ranks so far. And so, this list came about. Using 40 Days as a suitable cut-off point, here's how the big reigns rank... SWF Heavyweight Title El Luchadore Magnifico- 127 Days Edwin MacPhisto- 103 Days Tom Flesher- 95 Days HVille Thugg, Tom Flesher- 89 Days HVille Thugg- 67 Days Rane- 63 Days Rane, The Boston Strangler- 58 Days Toxxic- 55 Days and counting Charlie 'Grappler' Matthews, Janus- 49 Days El Luchadore Magnifico- 47 Days Stubby 'Pots' McWeed- 44 Days SWF Intercontinental Television Title Charlie 'Grappler' Matthews- 82 Days Mak Francis- 79 Days Tom Flesher- 63 Days HVille Thugg- 61 Days Edwin MacPhisto- 60 Days Landon 'La Cucaracha' Maddix- 59 Days Frost- 58 Days Outcast, Danny Williams- 55 Days XStasy- 40 Days SWF United-States/USJL Championship Thoth- 92 Days Sacred- 72 Days Perfect Bo- 69 Days Danny Williams- 55 Days "Sacred" Andrew Blackwell- 51 Days Tod DeKindes, Michael Craven- 49 Days Axis- 45 Days SWF Tag Team Championships Todd Cortez and Mike Van Siclen- 128 Days Judge Mental and Ejiro Fasaki- 117 Days Frost and Tom Flesher- 101 Days Judge Mental and Ejiro Fasaki- 90 Days Angelous and Molock- 84 Days Spider Nekura and Thoth- 79 Days Wildchild and Johnny Dangerous- 75 Days Quiz and Show- 69 Days Frost and TNT- 60 Days Danny Vigilante and Divefire- 49 Days Cyclone Comet and Rane- 42 Days SWF Hardcore-Gamers Championship Wildchild- 138 Days Jay Dawg- 83 Days Judge Mental- 77 Days Sean Davis- 64 Days The Boston Strangler- 61 Days Grimedogg, Chris Wilson- 60 Days Janus- 58 Days Mike Van Siclen- 54 Days Perfect Bo- 51 Days Toxxic- 49 Days SWF Cruiserweight Championship Johnny Dangerous- 70 Days Tom Flesher- 49 Days Alan Clark- 44 Days SWF Light-Heavyweight Championship Fallout- 140 Days Tom Flesher- 68 Days El Luchadore Magnifico- 63 Days Bobby Riley- 61 Days El Luchadore Magnifico- 56 Days Neilson Of The Jungle- 45 Days El Luchadore Magnifico- 42 Days Andrea Montgomery- 40 Days So, Toxx is well on his way to stamping a long title reign...whever he gets to ELM's reign is doubtful, but who knows. Of course, Spike is closing in on a 40+ Cruiser reign and Cortez has a spot on the USJL Championship list beckoning. Fury and Cross might as well be on the Tag list too, as they have just four days to go.

Well, my match is in. Would there be any chance of setting up, like, an SWF back-up forum. Because the site goes down EVERY Monday without fail and other days on top of that. It went down before Genesis and apparantly, sending matches by e-mail doesn't work as only half of my part got through then. Add in that this time I didn't think to get Powerplay's e-mail and it was a stressful night. But, my stuff's in anyway.

*spits water* They didn't ACTUALLY call it that, did they!?! At the very least, there's one too many 'Holla's in there. It doesn't flow right. It'd sound better if it were the SD! Holla Holla House Show...which still sucks, but at least doesn't twist your tongue or turn into some sort of chanting type sound. Oh yeah, and Holly is bad, fire his ass, boo hiss and all that.

However, can HHH actually be a compelling face? He has never been a compelling face ME'er (in DX, they were upper midcard, but not ME). I dunno, the reaction he got on his MSG return was so awesome that I'd imagine he would have worked well as a face. He got strong reactions from then until his turn. He just didn't have the right feuds and stories. Jericho/HHH speaks for itself. Angle/HHH was a waste of time. HHH/Austin might have worked very well. Of course, HHH didn't WANT to be a face...so, I don't know how long it would have been before he phoned it in.

Nashville World Order. It'll play well in Orlando, eh?

I echo AS's statement. Orton has shown marked improvement and he seems to be trying damn hard in whatever role he's put in. The reason he's doing the pose so much is because he's trying to get it both recognised and over. Key word being 'trying'. I don't see Cena trying all that much recently. Cena's got the charisma enough not to try. He can just come up with some tired catchphrase or stupid movement for a signature move (5 Knuckle Shuffle anyone?) I prefer Orton to Cena on effort, if nothing else.
