Hurricane's taking some sick bumps, first one to the floor and then a backdrop lift into a sideslam. Not to mention doing that blockbuster.

One of La Resistance hooked Regal's tights and eliminated him and Tajiri. Now Hurricane and Rosey are in.

Dean & Simon in. Now La Resistance vs. T/R.

Tajiri & Regal just eliminated the Hearthrobs. Now Simon & Maven are wrestling T/R.

XPW's Damien Steele is a different guy. He doesn't really wrestle anymore because he's had a lot of personal demons over the years, and is trying to get his life back on track in Puerto Rico.

I have VHS backup copies of an EXTREMELY rare XPW product put out by some XPW fans. The video features live fancam footage from XPW shows in 2001 and 2002 that you can't find ANYWHERE, and I do mean, ANYWHERE else, besides those people who filmed it themselves. All of the footage featured is fancam so Xtreme Entertainment Group (the owner of XPW's old footage) has absolutely no legal authority over any of it because none of it is copyrighted footage. It's a total of 30 minutes long. Here's just a couple notes of what the tape features: - fancam clips from the never-before-released Sabu Invitational House Show - fancam clips of Ron Killings' XPW debut and the CLASSIC, and I mean CLASSIC, confrontation he had with the Pico Rivera fans - a lot of fancam music videos - fancam footage of Sandman's never-before-released XPW debut - fancam footage of Konnan's hilarious lambasting of Lizzy Borden (too obscene to be released by XPW or XEG) - XPWTV.com plugs by Kris Kloss, American Wild Child, and Shady - camcorder footage of Kaos and GQ Money screwing around on the streets of Philadelphia during the Hostile Takeover tour - clip from a never-before-released shoot interview with Vic Grimes, as Vic talks about his short stay in the WWF and how bad the booking was - fancam clips of an autograph signing featuring Kaos, GQ Money, Veronica Caine, and an impromptu brawl when "The Hardcore Homo" Angel shows up unwelcomed! I can only do VHS, though, not DVD. PM me with offers. I'd prefer to trade, though. If you'd be open to trading, please include your list. Thanks. To my knowledge, this footage isn't copyrighted by anyone, as it's fancam footage. I have no intention of bootlegging any actual copyrighted footage. If this is in fact copyrighted footage, then please PM me and let me know.

His last interview? WOW. This is so depressing...

CREDIT: DeclarationOfIndependents.net The DOI has found out today from sources in Ring of Honor, that Ring of Honor Boston Promoter, James Quinlin, is no longer involved in the company. Ring of Honor would like for people to think that Quinlin was fired, but the real truth about Quinlin's dismissal from the company is because Quinlan felt cheated and used by two key people in the company. According to our ROH sources, Quinlin originally left the company 6 months ago, but was asked to return by ROH Owner, Cary Silken. Cary Silken respected and appreciated Quinlin's work in the company and wanted Quinlin to continue his work with ROH. Quinlin agreed to return to the company, under the condition that he woudln't have to deal with the "difficult business practices" used by Gabe Sapolsky. The reason Quinlin left the company the first time six months ago, is the same reason why he's leaving today. Per his agreement with Ring of Honor, Quinlin was supposed to receive a certain percentage of the gate that ROH grossed when they ran shows in Boston. Quinlin was supposed to receive $1 per fan in the building. For example, Quinlin would rent 500 chairs per show, and expect to be paid $500 at the end of the night, because all the chairs were filled. However, that did not happen. Quinlin felt that ROH employee, Syd Eick, would lie about the attendance figures to him. Quinlin was told by Syd every show that there were a lot of comps in the building. While comps are expected in indy wrestling, complimentary tickets aren't meant for 100+ people, like Quinlin was being told by Syd. Quinlin felt that Syd would undercut numbers to him for either personal financial gain or for ROH's financial gain. There was a similiar incident with ROH and JAPW, when the two companies held a joint show last year, where it looked like JAPW was being undercut money, by Syd, as well. Either way, Quinlin would be stuck with less money. Quinlin also felt mistreated by Ring of Honor, which led to Quinlin leaving ROH the first time 6 months ago. Quinlin felt like he was treated unprofessional by ROH Booker Gabe Sapolsky. Quinlin would tell Gabe that there were problems in ROH, such as paying off the chair rental companies, paying the municipal police for security, and other bills, but Gabe would brush Quinlin off and tell him he "had no time for him right now." Quinlin felt that he was treated as "insignificant" by Gabe. By not having these problems answered by Gabe, Quinlin would then have to feel the brunt of ROH's Boston's problems, while ROH counted their earnings problem free. Quinlin, being the stand-up guy that he is, would take care of all of Ring of Honor's Boston's bills, and would expect reimbursement later on. Quinlin was said to be on great terms with Cary Silken and found Cary Silken to be 100% professional. The reason Quinlan put up with Gabe and Syd's attitude and lies, according to people close with Quinlin, was because of his strong professional respect for Cary Silken. Cary Silken was said to be a true professional during all of this. Quinlin is now supposedly going to be replaced with a referee, who is under the age of 18, to help promote the Boston shows. The kid will help promote the shows by flyering the area, having a street team, and use other basic promoting techniques. It is not 100% confirmed that the kid will now be the official ROH Boston promoter, but it is expected, according to our sources in ROH. Quinlin will now be helping Jersey All Pro Wrestling, as JAPW makes their Boston area debut on May 21st. From people I've talked to, both parties are ecstatic about the arrangement. Both parties are looking forward to the event, as the show features alot of wrestlers making their Boston area debut. It should be interesting to see how many fans JAPW draws, compared to how many fans ROH draws in the same area. There is also a rumbling in the Ring of Honor locker room that any new wrestler who associates themselves as "personal friends" of the DOI or "associates/friends" with RF Video will not get a look by Ring of Honor. This is a statement that Gabe Sapolsky has told several people in the wrestling business already. One wrestler, who made his ROH debut this past Saturday night, was told by Gabe that he would not be allowed in ROH if he was friendly with members of the DOI or RF Video. It is obvious that Ring of Honor is trying to force the wrestlers to choose either doing business with ROH or their friends. I don't know why ROH would do something like this, but I guess it shows that ROH is somewhat threatened by either the DOI or RF Video. It also sets up ROH as having the power to all the younger guys who come into the company. RF Video's no-compete clause with Ring of Honor expires in the summer, and it is no secret that RF Video has been sending out feelers to independent wrestlers, as well as ex-WWE wrestlers, about working for RF Video, once RF Video debuts their new promotion. Once RF Video launches their new promotion, expect a "Monday Night War" feel on the indy scene between RF Video and ROH, as ROH has already made it look clear that they are threatened by RF Video and will do anything in their power (such as refuse bookings) for anyone who associates/talks to RF Video employees. RF Video employees have told the DOI they don't care what ROH does, as they are only focused on what RF Video does. As you can tell, RF Video has worked with several ROH wrestlers on outside projects, and have no interest on where a wrestler picks up a payday from. To dismiss other rumors, from other message boards, the DOI and RF Video have no business relationships, outside of advertising. Why Gabe would lump DOI into his business either shows paranoia by Gabe, or a fear that the DOI will help RF Video later on down the line. Either way, it is pretty ridiculous, from a personal viewpoint. According to an ex-WWE wrestler that the DOI has been in contact with, ROH is very interested in two wrestlers who were recently cut by the WWE this past month. We'll have more news on these deals once more information becomes available. Dan Maff is still in possession of the ROH Tag Team title, and according to people we've talked to, Maff has no intentions of giving it back. Who knows, maybe it will end up on eBay? After all, Jasmin St. Claire put 3PW up for bid on eBay earlier this month. ROH returns to NY, for the first time since 2003, in May. Expect something big to go down with the Rottweillers, who are NY based. The show will feature American Dragon vs Homicide, in a Steel Cage Match, to settle their Best-Of-5 feud. This feud has been one of the better feuds ever since the days of Homicide/Corino, Punk/Raven and Joe/Briscoes. UPDATE: ROH has officially confirmed the DOI's story about Quinlin leaving the company. According to the ROH newsline, which is written by ROH Booker Gabe Sapolsky, Quinlin has mutually left the company. ROH officially said the following: "ROH and Boston area promoter Jim Quinlin have mutually parted ways. We want to thank Jim for all his contributions to ROH and we wish him and his family the best in the future. ROH is now looking to rebuild the Boston market by stabilizing the building situation. We will announce a return date in the future." I find it interesting that ROH said that they need to rebuild their Boston market. ROH always considered Boston one of their top, outside of the Philadelphia area, to hold shows. ROH's first outside of Philly shows were held in Boston. They consistently drew strong numbers in the Boston area in the last three years. The word "rebuild" seems odd in ROH's press release. I don't know if the word rebuild is used to knock Quinlin or their own personal business. ROH is rumored to be in negotiations with a teenager to help them promote shows in the Boston area in the future. For more on ROH, visit http://www.rohwrestling.com

I don't think so Bob. From what he said on between the ropes, he can't work anywhere till that date, whether it be TNA or elsewhere.

No idea. Good question, though.

No, he still has a no compete clause, even though they released him.

His contract isn't up till June or July 11 (I forget which). Hows that possible?

Parts 1-4 can be found at http://www.declarationofindependents.net/d...xpwhistory.html . Here's part 5 (the longest edition yet!!!!!!): The History of Xtreme Pro Wrestling (Part 5): Rob Black and Paul Heyman talk interpromotional business published on Saturday, April 23, 2005 A few weeks before the skits involving Rob Black, Buh Buh Ray Dudley, and Adult Video News executive Paul Fishbein were filmed in December 1998, Black, Byron, and Black’s new girlfriend Janet Romano (a.k.a. Lizzy Borden) appeared on an episode of ECW Hardcore TV that was taped in Queens, NY. They accompanied Little Guido (current-WWE superstar Nunzio) to the ring, while the colossal 400-lb. Sal E. Graziano followed behind in a bodyguard role. At the very next ECW show (this time in New Orleans), Black and his colleagues continued to engage in scripted confrontations with ECW superstars, which now included Tommy Dreamer and The Sandman. The ECW duo forcibly poured a Budweiser down Byron's throat shortly before Buh Buh Ray responded to Black’s calling him a "motherfucker" by attacking the crude Extreme Associates master with some shots to the crotch. Buh Buh Ray then proceeded to ridicule Byron, only to receive several whacks with a beer bottle and a steel chair by the porn legend. The heat that Black, Byron, and Nikki's drew from ECW fans via their participation on the shows that weekend impressed ECW management to the point that the company's officials (most notably Heyman) kept in contact with Black. The E.A. owner continued to attend various ECW shows – mainly those in the New York area – for the rest of 1998 and regularly met with Heyman and other ECW representatives over the next few months to discuss possible forms of interpromotional dealings. There was even a point where several of the ECW wrestlers could be found in the lockerroom speculating amongst themselves that Black and Byron were in the process of buying ECW from Heyman. Black could not have been more thrilled to be discussing such marketing strategies with Heyman. For one thing, he had been a fan of pro wrestling ever since he was a child, and was also an ECW enthusiast. He can, in fact, be seen wearing an ECW t-shirt and cap in some of his older productions (such as Jane Waters' The Pornographer), while he takes an opportunity to praise ECW in the sixth scene of E.A.’ “Free At Last” production. However, even more important to Black's willingness to interact with ECW than this long-time passion for sports entertainment was that such discussions made one of his dreams that he had for several years come one step closer. He had been contemplating possible methods of blending his main priority, pornography, with his subsidiary hobby, pro wrestling, and the opportunity to work with Heyman and ECW offered a route to the possible realization of that fantasy. Pro wrestling historian Sheldon Goldberg - who was one of the few people in the wrestling media to actually cover the development of the relationship between ECW and E.A. and even came up with the “XPW” name - wrote on 1Wrestling.com in July 1999 his opinion as to why Black wanted to enter the wrestling market: “Black's view is that the prime young male audience for pro wrestling is the same demographic which are prime consumers of his adult film product. With Black's 'adult stars' lending celebrity luster to the wrestling product, perhaps a base of fans can be built that will benefit both the wrestling product and add marketing dimension to his current adult film business.” Despite that article being written in July, which was after the deal with ECW had gone sour, but before XPW held its inaugural show on July 31, Goldberg’s take on the situation appears to be very close to the mindset that officials from ECW and Extreme Associates had in their prospective “cross promotion” with one another. Articles from the period - both from porn and wrestling-related publications - indicate that both companies intended to use the audience of the other’s organization (ECW’s hardcore wrestling fans and E.A.’s eager porno addicts, respectively) as a means of “cross-promotion," as Black later worded it. After Black arrived back in the U.S. from a meeting in Brazil with representatives from that country’s premier porn company, Video Lips, he and Heyman really got down to business. February 1999 was the period during which most of the discussions between the two companies transpired. During that month, Black and Heyman negotiated together for what added up to between 15 and 20 hours, eventually reaching an agreement. The details of their accord surfaced to the porno media a month later in a March 3, 1999 posting on Adult Video News’ website. According to the article (entitled Rob Black Finalizes Wrestling Deal), both parties (ECW and E.A.) agreed to advertise the other’s merchandise on their respective video tapes. A similar article (which appears to be based upon the original AVN article) from April 17, 1999 on RAME.net (the porn equivalent of pro wrestling’s RSPW) indicates that Heyman intended to air on his ECW home videos (which were distributed by RF Video at the time, as Pioneer Entertainment was still a year away from entering the picture) and its TV show 60-second advertisements for “Black’s new ‘Tits and Ass’ line of porno action figures as well as other Extreme Associates projects.” Black’s right-hand man, Tom Byron, also figured into the picture, although his proposed role in the relationship between the two companies was one of the several facets of the plan that never panned out. The aforementioned RAME.net post indicates that the parties from ECW and E.A. discussed with one another the idea of airing skits on ECW TV that featured Byron in a role that resembled that of Val Venis’ WWF character around the same time. A different RSPW post than the April 17 one concurred with that claim, stating that “these ‘skits’ will be Tom Byron ‘casting calls,’ for porno movies,” and the same wording was used in AVN’s March 3 article. ECW and E.A. were also planning to release action figures of Byron and Jasmin St. Claire. The April 17 RAME.net posting and the March 3 AVN article indicate that the Byron figure would be based on his porn character, while the Jasmin one would depict her as an ECW valet. Black also intended to air commercials for ECW on his porno videos, and he would try to use his relationship with the porno company, "Extreme Brazil," to help expand ECW's product into South America, a possibility that fascinated Heyman. Black’s power in the porn industry and relationship with porn companies in the Brazil seemed to be the perfect route to achieving the distribution of ECW videos in Brazil and in establishing Internet promotion for ECW in that region. It is, however, unknown whether live events ran in Brazil by ECW were discussed, since the April 17 RAME.net post specifically says there were not, but a press release on RSPW did mention that possibility and, similarly, Black claimed in the March 3, 1999 AVN article that “We'll also be doing live wrestling shows in Brazil. I'll be the Brazilian ECW representative.” Nonetheless, what is known for sure - as several AVN articles, along with various RAME.net and RSPW posts, confirmed it - is that Black was going to market ECW videos throughout Brazil. According to Black in his 2000 ScoopsWrestling.com interview, Heyman was going to let E.A. “buy his masters and distribute his product in Brazil.” Black elucidated about these plans in a March 12, 1999 article by AVN: “I'm trying to work this Brazilian deal to distribute the tapes. Trying to hammer out the final things. The Brazilians like real stuff. They want it to be real. We're trying to put the matches together that look the most realistic - the barbed wire, the scaffolds - it's a f*cking nightmare. I'm looking at a bunch of tapes of a scaffold match where the guy falls like 20 feet to the ground. It's back and forth with ECW, trying to watch these tapes, trying to decide if we're going to make a compilation of the best five Extreme matches. We're going to release it, we just don't know what or when.” Heyman had also been interested in holding some ECW cards on the West Coast of the U.S. for the first time ever. That wish eventually came to fruition (although through no help of Black’s) with the mid-2000 HeatWave Pay-Per-View, at which there was an altercation between ECW’s wrestlers and those of XPW. Since Extreme Associates was headquartered in California, Black believed that he had the necessary resources to assist ECW in funding shows in that area. Sheldon Goldberg wrote on 1Wrestling.com in the above-mentioned article that if that were to happen, “Black would have assumed some sort of local promoter role, but ECW was reluctant to commit, since their TV in the market was felt to be inadequate. ECW tried to get Black into the fold, using some of Extreme's girls in valet-type roles and creating a cross-promotional relationship between the companies.” Goldberg claimed that the deal fell through the cracks because Black thought that “ECW was presenting a relationship that was too one-sided for his taste.” The deal between ECW and E.A. also entailed Heyman giving Black permission to have his E.A. cameramen film his appearances on ECW shows and air them on his porn releases. In fact, cameramen for E.A. did just that for awhile, as they filmed Black, Borden, and Byron’s exploits at many of the ECW shows that they attended. Some of this footage was released on E.A.’s “Whack Attack 5” production, which also features Black and Borden goofing around with Tommy Dreamer, Buh Buh Ray Dudley, and Big Dick Dudley. Black also hoped to use this type of E.A.-filmed footage and footage that ECW provided him to “run trailers for the ECW product” on his Extreme Associates home videos (80,000 of which were selling per month, according to Black in his ScooopsWrestling.com interview). E.A. was so serious about the impending relationship with ECW that it went so far as to hire John Blatt, a veteran of the porn industry, specifically to head up E.A.’s new sales division, which included the task of managing the launch of Byron’s “Tits and Ass” line. Blatt was hired by E.A. in March, several weeks after he had been let go by Plum Productions, for which he was a major executive. Black’s plans for ECW also included supplying the services of another female valet to further ECW's claim to the hottest women sports entertainment had to offer. That woman was none other than Jasmin St. Claire, who – up until that point – had strictly been involved in pornography (dating back to 1994). Up until this point in time, Jasmin had never been involved in pro wrestling, other than being a fan of the sport from a young age. Although Jasmine tends to shy away from discussing her porn endeavors in recent wrestling-related interviews, she was - according to AVN archives - extremely intrigued by the prospect of being a driving force in the proposed Extreme Associates/ECW partnership. Black explained in a mid-2000 interview with ScoopsWrestling.com how Jasmin would actually fit into the picture, saying that the previous year (1999), Heyman and him “were going to come up with an Internet company,” featuring Jasmin as one of the centerpieces. Heyman had proposed the idea of airing commercials on local TV or on ECW home videos that would advertise a web site: “[The ads would] show Jasmin St. Claire in the commercial and say, ‘Do you want to see Jasmin St. Claire vacuuming the carpet?' and it would show her vacuuming.’ Dial up www. Whatever it was going to be’. You'd click into it and you'd see Jasmine vacuuming. But as you go a couple of more clicks it says, 'To see explicit action and you're 18, click here'.” Black said that it would’ve cost him and Heyman a combined $20,000 per month to advertise through such means. However, he was apparently willing to take the chance, even saying that he had intended to promote this product “under the censors, under [Heyman’s] local people so they would never give a shit. They wouldn't know.” Even if there was a risk to these plans, Black was mesmerized by the thought of helping to manage the affairs of a pro wrestling company such as ECW. Furthermore, from Heyman and ECW’s perspective, the deal probably seemed almost too good to pass up. E.A. owned special cameras, lighting equipment, and editing suites and was more financially stable than RF Video, which ECW was using as a dubbing house for its tapes, at the time. These luxuries allowed E.A. to put forth a pornography product which bragged unusually high quality production. In the same respect, this also offered ECW the opportunity to touch up it video merchandise and present it in a professional manner for the potential fans it sought to draw in from E.A.’s demographics. Some things, however, aren’t meant to be, and as it would turn out, the cross-promotion between ECW and Extreme Associates was one of those things… COMING SOON: The ECW/E.A. cross-promotion sours… You can post feedback here or PM it to me.

Ya, I knew he made an appearance for IWS awhile back, but I was pretty sure that was just an appearance and not a match. Did he actually wrestle on that show? If so, my bad.

If you have scanning capability, I'd like to see the ad, and could use it in the retrospective.

All I know is I talked to MiC and he told me its true, so I'd assume it's accurate. I saw the DVDR post and was surprised, so I IM'ed him right away.
