Eh...that red shirt does NOT go with the black pants... And what's with Nidia being "fat"? Geez, if that's fat then...I wanna be it!

Do you ever wonder what would happen if every time somebody got successful that the business is just handed to them? Ever wonder what it would be like to be the top man and then to suddenly fall from grace? How would you deal with being the top man in the show and then suddenly being the most underused man in the show? How would you feel about having to go from main events to opening the shows? Corner to Corner Hello again everyone and welcome back to Corner to Corner! I want to give you all an apology for my absense within the past few days. Its good to be back and in the driver seat. So, without further ado, OFF WE GO! WHAT?! I read the Stone Cold interview and that's the first thing I said. WHAT?!? Apparently, I was incorrect in my orignal assessment of the Austin Theory. I missed the part where Steve Austin starts believing his own HYPE. Before you go after me in emails, please give me a moment to fully state my case. I'm not going to say that Austin isn't a top draw or anything. I won't say that he couldn't do the job in the ring either. Steve Austin was enertaining to me right up until he left the WWE in June of 2002. I have no problem giving him credit for shouldering a lot of weight in the WWE during the Attitude Era and helping the WWE become the ONLY major promotion on world wide television. No, Steve Austin definitely deserves every ounce of credit for being the top notch performer that he is. That is, however, where it ends. I don't understand the mentality that these successful wrestlers get when they suddenly become unhappy with their respected companies. For WCW, it was Nash, Goldberg, and Hogan. For WWE, it was Michaels, Hart, Helmsley, and NOW Steve Austin. These guys all, at one point or another, used politics as their excuses for not doing the right things. It's fine to say that you've done a lot for WWE. In fact, most if not all will agree with you Mr. Austin. Quite honestly, you did so much that I'd have to do a separate column just to list your contributions. The problem Mr. Austin, is that you still WORK FOR VINCE MCMAHON AND WWE. You are not YOUR OWN BOSS. You work for him and therefore, when you're told that you're going to face Brock Lesnar on RAW, you put your ass in that ring and you do your job. I will go ahead and agree with something Bret Hart said awhile back. Wrestlers are treated similar to circus animals. They're trained to do what they're told. Of course, what Bret left out is that these guys that are getting treated like circus animals are making A LOT of money by the time they reach the WWE's main tier. I'm so sick of seeing people piss and moan because they have to do their jobs. Just what is the deal with that anyway? Folks, I'm sure that most of us have jobs and do what our bosses tell us. That's life. And when we go to heaven? We're still doing what someone else, albeit God, wants us to do. The bottom line, to borrow a phrase, is that from cradle to grave and even the afterlife, we're doing what someone else wants. We are just that type of people. So why can't these successful types just accept that they have to answer to someone? What is the problem with just doing your damn job? Of course, he talks about Wrestlemania X8 and the match with Scott Hall. Austin insinuated that Hall should not have been at Wrestlemania after only being in the company for three months. Let me offer a correction real quick. Hall had only been BACK in the company for three months. He had been down in WCW prior to that and in WWE PRIOR to his WCW STINT. The bottom line on that is that Hall had already BEEN to Wrestlemania while Steve Austin was still wrestling for WCW as Stunning Steve. You remember that Mr. Austin, WCW was where you were at one point. Of course Austin stated that he had no problem with Hall. I should hope not, since you did in fact get your way at Wrestlemania X8. He then goes on to complain about having to wrestle Brock Lesnar at RAW. You know, whether he had a point or not about the buildup, that is all secondary. Whether you're HHH, Steve Austin, or Jeff Hardy, you should have one thing in mind when you're in the WWE. You work for Vince and when he sets up a match and tells you to compete, you do what your boss says. How is this any different from the local McDonalds employee who has to man the deep fryer because his manager tells him to? Do not attempt to debate with me that since Austin made Vince so much money he should get special treatment. The deal on that is simple, whether you make a dime or a dollar, everyone in the back should be treated equal and should all do what their boss says. That's how a damn job works. As far as him being burnt out, I'd imagine he was. For all intents and purposes, he worked BEYOND overtime in HHH and Rock's absense. He put on stellar performances with Kurt Angle, Booker T, Chris Benoit, Chris Jericho, and even the Hardyz. He had every right to get some time off after Wrestlemania. I will not argue the fact that he needed a break. Nobody will argue that point because I think it speaks for itself. We can always pull out the videos and chart just how much the man wrestled. The point of my concern, however is his attitude in general. I'm not worried about how much money he made the company. I can respect him for wanting to be careful in the ring following his injuries. I am just trying to figure out how he suddenly feels that the business is in the wrong hands. Hey man, from the fan's perspective, the business is in the same hands it was in before you left. You can't give the business to the boys because the boys seem to be lazy. And don't tell me to step in the ring. I don't have to be a pro to tell you that these guys who are getting on the microphone SUCK. You got Jeff Hardy who sounds like a puberty stricken teen claiming he's going to kick somebody's ass? How the hell does that work? We got Test reading off cue cards because it when it seems he's supposed to adlib he freezes like a deer in the headlights. You look at Triple H now and even he is slacking in his promos. Not only does he ignore the fact that he's a damn heel, but he also tries to be funny too damn much. When I want comedy, I watch Goldust. When I want something credible in the way of a promo or a match I should be comfortable watching Triple H and Chris Jericho. I should be able to count on the top guys to come out and do their damn jobs. Instead, we get these guys who want to complain and do nothing to solve the problems. The only thing I got from Steve Austin's interview was angry. I got angry because I saw apparently wrestling hasn't learned from it's history. It happened to Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, and even Hulk Hogan. When you get too big for your britches, somebody will always be happy to slap you back into place. Whether it's by a screwjob, a suspension, or just plain refusing to have you work, there is always payment for the sin of forgetting who made who. And who really pays for this? We, the fans, do. We pay for it because we lose our stars and we get stuck with people like Helmsley running the show. Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. That's what I got for now...See ya Saturday. Thanks for reading. --Stan Grubb--

How do you steal workers from other promotions? I'm WWE and I want to steal Raven back..but all I can do is "shortlist" him. Grrr

I did have them before.... Oooooh...1,000th post! *has a mini-celebration* My gal pal made that for me...

I was supposed to go to school today...but, both me and lil sis got off school because...CHICKEN POX~! The best thing about it is I barely have any, but on the off-chance they *might* be contagious...I'm off school today, tomorrow, and part of next week.

I read a while back in PSM that they were going to make PS2 remakes of FF7, FF8, and FF9. I'm not subscribed to any game magazines at the moment, so I'm wondering if Square is still going to do this?

^is only slightly incorrect

No argument here But what I meant by Christian was that on a Jakked, he faced Kidman. For reference sake, it was the same show that Christian dressed up in Torrie's purple geisha outfit (and looked DAYUM fine too) and was asking Tajiri for adivce on the match. "Then after the match, we can go and get some sushi!" And...Christian called himself baka. (And that segment officially started my Tape 5) Anyway, during the match Kidman did a very funny impersonation of Christian's tantrum routine. How did Edge and Storm get into this argument?

So, Christian has 0 charisma too?

^has a funny comic in his sig

Why don't they let Kidman continue with his mocking of others? His mocking of Good Ol' Al (funny how he became a smark fave) and Shanny were kinda funny...

Trust me, I will. When she gets income tax, I'll (hopefully) be getting $200.

Get a job...hmm..sounds so easy. Except I babysit my lil sis during the day. And mom works nights, usually. Soooo..no time for me to get a job.

What's with the depush of Knoble? After his feud with Hurricane, he was on quite a few Velocity's, if I remember correctly. Then he had that thing with Tajiri....and now....umm... And it's quite interesting that noone complains about ReyRey being the opener, as he usually is..

Heh...can't do it then.

Is WON free? If so..what's the link? Well, Mr. Tito's columns are usually a very entertaining read. Uhhhh....not that I know of...

I find them at Lords of Pain.net

September's not confirmed, but that's the rumored date. Soo...hopefully it won't take that long. Whoah...I just noticed the difference in Yunie's hair. It's way more spiky than FFX....kinda like Tidus's.

The whole point was that he wasn't a very emotional guy. Sounds like a few feuds in WWE.... We did find out, actually. Something like 'Sis' (Ellone..is that her name?) left the orphanage and Squall liked her most of all. I'm guessing he looked up to her as a mother figure or something. He was always vying for her attention. Anyway, when she left, he decided he would be the best at whatever he did. So, I'm guessing, he thought that if he was the best, then she'd come back. Of course, those are kid feelings, but I'm guessing they grew. *blink* Okay, why did I just write a whole psycho-analysis for Squall, a hottie made of polygons??

Because they're "strange" and "bizarre".....that and they're both goth. And don't forget the face makeup.... He also has quite a few guy fans, for obvious reasons. As for leaving? Not all teenage fangrils are dumb marks, you know.

Credit: www.stormwrestling.com February 4,2003 I’m really pressed for time this week, so this may be short. After burying our last International trip, to India, so badly I thought it only fair to comment on our most recent trip, to Korea and Japan, because it was awesome. After Raw 2-weeks ago, in Providence, RI, we flew to Seoul South Korea for 1 show then to Tokyo Japan for two. Travel was of course brutal, but when you do TV live every Monday you have to go half way around the world, work 3 show, and get back in less than 6 days. There really isn’t a good way to do it; travel is going to be rough. It was the first time the Company or I have ever been to Korea and it was an amazing experience. I didn’t get to see much of the Country but I consider getting to add any Country to my list of places I’ve been a good thing. From the little I saw of Seoul, it very much reminded me of Japan. There were several differences but the general feel of the Country was the same. Our hotel was excellent and the show itself was OFF THE CHARTS. The Korea crowd was the hottest, loudest crowd I’ve ever seen, heard, or worked in front of. The opening match tie up was getting the kind of POP, and crowd response Hogan and Rock got in Sky Dome at WrestleMania. It was Unbelievable. The building was a tight steep building so all of the people were in close to the ring. There was about 14,000 people and they were so loud. They had never been to a live WWE show before and man were they excited about it. It was one of those shows you could do no wrong in; they popped for everything. William and I defended the Tag Titles against Booker T and Golddust, and the crowd loved it. They did not react well to the “belt shot” finish, but perhaps they didn’t really understand it. Finishes like that don’t work well in Japan either. On an interesting note, I had my first KO in this match. We’ve talked here many times about my reputation as a very light and safe worker, well all of that went out the window in this match as I knocked Golddust out cold with a back elbow. It’s an elbow I’ve thrown a million times but on this night it, unfortunately, hit its mark. I caught Goldie right on the Jaw with it and he dropped like a stone. Good thing Booker was paying attention because I didn’t realize I knocked him out and I covered him for the pin. If Booker didn’t make the save, it would have been the end of the match because Goldie wasn’t moving. Fortunately he recovered pretty quickly and we finished the match without a problem. The Japan shows were just as good. The crowds weren’t quite as lively, but they were about the same size and sold out to the rafters, like Korea was. I hadn’t been to Japan in 5-years so it was cool to finally go back. Many fans remembered me from my WAR days, so there was a real home coming feel to the trip. We worked Hurricane and Spike the first night and the Dudley the second. Both matches were fun and the crowd loved what we did. I’ve always loved the Japanese crowds; they treat wrestling differently and I always feel more respected in Japan. The interesting note from the last Japan show was that I broke my nose for the first time. It was right at the beginning of the Dudley’s come back so I had to do the whole finish of the match with a broken nose. Fortunately it was from a straight on hit so it want’ displaced; it could have been much worse. My nose is still a bit tender but at least I didn’t have to go to the Hospital to have it set and straightened. Looking back it doesn’t sound like that great of a trip: a broken nose, I knocked a guy out, and extremely long brutal travel, but those three shows were so amazing it was more than worth it. I wouldn’t give that trip up for anything. Till next week, Lance
