Well, I'm not sure about the Camden show, but I know the ECW show where he wrestled Hack Myers was November to Remember, and it was definitely 11/18/95. That was the show where he returned to ECW, by the way. jm, you helped a ton. I don't need anything as far as promotional posters or reviews. All the info you gave - that they happened the same night, the name of the show, and the result is what I need. Thanks a ton! SJK, now I realize something - in the Sabu shoot interview by RF Video, he says he worked for John Carluzzo in the afternoon and then returned to ECW that night. So the Camden, NJ match with Hakushi must've been the Carluzzo show. I should've realized that before. Thanks.

Ya, I have most of them on my comp. IM me on Piratez4v3go2. But pick which ones you want and be relatively selective because I'm not sending you everything. I have too much XPW stuff to list, but as far as the Philly stuff: Themed MVs: Best of XPW #3, Best of XPW #4, Best of XPW #5 (RV-1) (Darealgummy), XPW Thrills Chills Spills #1, XPW Thrills Chills Spills #2 Event MVs: Hostile Takeover, My Bloody Valentine 2003 (Philly), My Bloody Valentine 2003 – Night 2 (LA Tour), My Bloody Valentine 2003 (LA Tour) – Nights 1 & 2 (one file), Fallout, Liberty or Death, Baptized in Blood 3, Genocide, Freefall Ads: Lizzy Borden: XXXPOSED Ad XPW Battle of the Burgh 2 2002 XPW TV Opening Video XPW Pay-Per-View Preview XPW TV 2/5/03 Preview Best of MVs: “The Rock Superstar” Kaos in XPW GQ Money & “The Rock Superstar” Kaos in XPW (Darealgummy) XPW X-Girls 1 (Darealgummy) XPW X-Girls 2 (Darealgummy) Youthanazia (from the Backyard Wrestling "Passion of Pain" DVD) Match MVs: Christian York vs. Chris Chetti vs. Psychosis vs. Sonny Siaki (NYR ’03), Altar Boy Luke vs. Vic Grimes vs. Little Guido (Hostile Takeover), GQ Money vs. Angel (BIB3), Justice Pain vs. Supreme (House of Horrors Match from NYR ’03) (XPW TV), Super Crazy vs. Psychosis (Hostile Takeover), Supreme vs. Angel (BIB3), Supreme vs. Angel (Hostile Takeover), Ian Rotten vs. Supreme (No-Rope Barbed-Wire Death Match), Kaos vs. Chris Hamrick (Hostile Takeover), Kaos vs. Chris Hamrick vs. Psychosis (BIB3), Altar Boy Luke vs. Supreme (Fallout), Altar Boy Luke vs. Supreme vs. Angel (Exit Sandman), Jonny Storm vs. Jerry Lynn (NYR ’03), Mexico’s Most Wanted vs. Black Panthers (Hostile Takeover), Mexico’s Most Wanted vs. Dead Prez (Exit Sandman), M-Dogg 20 & Josh Prohibition vs. Mexico’s Most Wanted (Merry F’n X-Mas)

The footage spans his entire career, so it's definitely worth having. The video quality is tremendous for some of the older matches. Very good nostalgia value. If you're not into the old school style, you of course won't like it, but if you can appreciate his style and his charisma, then it's a really, really good buy (plus, it's 2 DVDs, whereas most WWE DVDs are 1 DVD). I'd recommend it.

Oh, shit. Sorry about that. I'll post the link later tonight. LOL...my bad. Super Loco (Super Crazy) vs. Brian Christopher: http://s4.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2S6L96A9T7YYZ2WOMCZ2TYPW9Y http://s4.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2BFYDV6L5JLN214CD1O0VMZ0V2

Oh, shit. Sorry about that. I'll post the link later tonight. LOL...my bad.

Sure. I'll include images in the next part. That's a good idea, actually. I have some very rare photos that I can use. I haven't posted it yet. I'm waiting for somebody to capture me some footage from a special DVD. The footage should be captured within three weeks, assuming my constant pestering works (which it seems to be so far). EMAXSAUN - who occasionally posts on this board - is also sending me some captured footage to use, God bless the dude. So, once I receive those two things, which should be in 2-3 weeks, I have all the footage I need and it's just a matter of putting into a music video. I've already done about half the music video. Once it's done I promise you it'll be unbelievable. Honestly...not for awhile. I'll say at least 6 months, probably more. As far as part-wise, there's anywhere from 6-10 parts to go until I'll actually go into XPW's first show back on July 31, 1999. There's lots of stuff to cover before that. As I've said, this whole thing is a really extended work...I'm talking at least three years because there's lots of shit that went on that never saw the light of day. I'm about 90% sure there'll be one more part covering Rob Black's discussions with ECW. It's possible it'll extend to two parts, but I doubt it. After that, I'll give the scoop on XPW precursors such as Slammers, the UIWA, and SCCW, and then it'll be time to go into the actual planning for XPW's launch.

Obscenity case dismissed for film showing rape, killing Friday, January 21, 2005 By Torsten Ove, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette The Justice Department today lost the first major test case of the federal obscenity laws when a judge in Pittsburgh threw out an indictment of Extreme Associates, a California company that makes films of women being gang-raped, defecated on and having their throats slit. U.S. District Judge Gary Lancaster granted a motion to dismiss filed by Extreme owners Rob Zicari and Janet Romano, who argued that the obscenity statutes as applied in their case violate the constitutional protections of liberty and privacy. Zicari and Romano were indicted in Pittsburgh in 2003 by U.S. Attorney Mary Beth Buchanan, and the case was being closely watched by the porn industry. Lawyers and federal prosecutors were still reading the 45-page opinion this afternoon.

UPDATE... http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/a...ity_appeal_4%22 Gonzales Seeks to Reinstate Obscenity Case Wed Feb 16, 6:27 PM ET By MARK SHERMAN, Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON - The Bush administration said Wednesday it would seek to reinstate an indictment against a California pornography company that was charged with violating federal obscenity laws. Billed as the government's first big obscenity case in a decade, the 10-count indictment against Extreme Associates Inc. and its owners, Robert Zicari, and his wife, Janet Romano, both of Northridge, Calif., was dismissed last month by U.S. District Judge Gary Lancaster of Pittsburgh. Lancaster ruled prosecutors overstepped their bounds while trying to block the company's hard-core movies from children and from adults who did not want to see such material. The Justice Department (news - web sites) said it will appeal the ruling to the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals (news - web sites) in Philadelphia. While acknowledging the importance of the constitutional guarantee of free speech, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said selling or distributing obscene materials does not fall within First Amendment protections. "The Department of Justice (news - web sites) remains strongly committed to the investigation and prosecution of adult obscenity cases," said Gonzales, who pledged during his confirmation hearing to pursue obscenity cases. If allowed to stand, Lancaster's ruling would undermine obscenity laws as well as other statutes based on shared views of public morality, including laws against prostitution, bestiality and bigamy, the department said in a statement. Zicari said he was not surprised by the decision to appeal. "They touted my case for almost a year and a half about this being an important step in kind of stamping out the adult product as we know it," he said in a telephone interview. "You'd think our government has a lot more things to worry about with the war in Iraq (news - web sites)." Prosecutors charged Zacari and Romano and their company with distributing videos to Pittsburgh through the mail and over the Internet. Mary Beth Buchanan, the U.S. attorney in Pittsburgh, has said the case was not about banning all sexually explicit materials, just reining in obscenity. Extreme Associates' productions depict rape and murder, Buchanan said. When she announced the indictment in August 2003, Buchanan said the lack of enforcement of obscenity laws during the mid- to late-1990s "led to a proliferation of obscenity throughout the United States." In his opinion, Lancaster said the company can market and distribute its materials because people have a right to view them in the privacy of their own homes. Lancaster relied in part on the Supreme Court's June 2003 ruling that struck down Texas' ban on gay sex, which it called an unconstitutional violation of privacy.

Super Loco (Super Crazy) vs. Brian Christopher - WWF Shotgun Saturday Night The quality isn't great, but it's a good match.

I hate to bump, but any feedback on part 4? Anything I should change for future editions? BTW, expect revised versions of the previous parts to be reposted, including a brand-new chapter that talks specifically about the fallout in Elegant Angel, the tension during its final days, and the eventual formation of Extreme Associates. I should have that revised edition done by the end of the week.

- Pro Wrestling Weekly has been following the new developments between Amy Weber and World Wrestling Entertainment since our initial report and updates on the story. Former WWE SmackDown! Diva Amy Weber Sadly, as of tonight, WWE has no more plans to attempt to negotiate with Amy Weber or her agent in chance of changing Amy’s mind over her decision to leave the company. Amy is expected to be able to leave, with a month’s compensation. Amy Weber is not under any WWE contract and is not liable to any “no-compete” clause WWE institutes to most talent. She was on a day-to-day agreement. WWE, at this point, are afraid of the potential backlash they might receive over their business environment, which has taken blows in the past from several major publications. Many may recall how the AP ran with Rena Mero’s sexual harassment suit against WWE, and how that drew a media cloud over WWE and their conduct of professionalism. WWE is hoping to negotiate a settlement with Amy in hopes of avoiding any potential lawsuit. Both Randy Orton and JBL, the two WWE Superstars who teased and hazed Amy the most, spoke to Vince McMahon this evening and are expected to receive some form of discipline. This incident alone might solidify Randy Orton’s drop from main event status. We’ll keep you updated on Amy’s departure from World Wrestling Entertainment when new information is provided, but as of right now, Amy Weber is intent on leaving WWE, and WWE is content with her decision. SOURCE: ProWrestlingWeekly.com PWW did break the news a day before Meltzer, so do take it for what it's worth. I think it was posted just recently. I do columns for the site and the webmaster is telling me he got the info from someone employed by WWE. Take it for what it's worth, though. I can't guarantee any validity. The site is very new, too...

I made a big update on the sale list, the trade list, and the want list!

The History of Xtreme Pro Wrestling (Part 4): Rob Black & The Dudleyz vs. Adult Video News posted on Sunday, February 13, 2005 As the relations between Extreme Championship Wrestling and Extreme Associates grew more and more serious, Rob Black was disappointed to find a surprising number of his porn colleagues criticizing his decisions behind his back. Porn was and still is a close-knit industry that doesn’t take kindly to outsiders stepping onto its turf, and that’s exactly how many insiders interpreted the business relationship that was developing between Black’s company and ECW. Although he was closely involved in negotiations with ECW head Paul E. Heyman, much of Black’s time was spent hanging out with wrestlers Buh Buh Ray Dudley (Mark Lamonica) and Big Dick Dudley (Alex Rizzo). In early January 1999, Rizzo and Lamonica even accompanied Black – along with his new girlfriend, Janet Romano (better known as Lizzy Borden) – to the annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES). The two were such good friends with Black that, at the event, they willingly interjected themselves on his part into a confrontation that the Extreme Associates CEO found himself in with the wife of rival director John T. Bone (real name: John T. Bowen). A few weeks later in a LukeFord.com article, Black told his side of events: “One day at the show, out of the blue, Mrs. John Bowen starts calling me names. ‘You cocksucker. You asshole. You're a jerk. You motherfucker.’ And everyone wondered ‘who was that?’ And I said, ‘I think that was John Bowen's wife.’ And they said, ‘why did she come out of the blue and bust your balls like that?’ And I said, ‘I don't know.’” Hours later, Mrs. Bowen supposedly came and spit on Black as he and his crew were waiting for a taxi. Then, at the special CES-sponsored dinner that same night, events almost spiraled out of control, as Mrs. Bowen confronted the Black, Borden, and the two wrestlers and began yelling at them (especially Black). Borden ended up losing her temper and called Mrs. Bowen a “fucking pig,” which – according to Black – sparked Mrs. Bowen to threaten them with “a fucking bottle. Big Dick Dudley twisted it out of her hand. Then Bubba Ray Dudley told Bowen, 'if your fucking wife hits anybody with a bottle, you're going down.’” After the incident, Black went up to John Bowen and conceded to him that they “verbally go at each other” in AVN and similar publications, but that “this kind of assault is BS.” Bowen – according to Black – apologized for his wife’s actions, saying that “he was sorry, that his wife was out of control.” Although AVN writer Paul Fishbein was at the AVN awards and – even if he didn’t see the incident unfold firsthand, he was almost certainly informed of its gist from his fellow AVN writers who did see what happened – he still had doubts that Black’s discussions with ECW were completely legitimate. It was of Black’s opinion that Fishbein and his associates “thought that because [then-AVN writer] Gene Ross and I [were] friends that it was just BS publicity.” Not willing to accept any skepticism about his relationship with ECW, Black thought of an idea: “Well, I did them one better. I brought one of the five-time tag team champions of the world into the AVN offices.” That’s right. Black (along with Tom Byron) responded by bringing Mark Lamonica a.k.a. Buh Buh Ray Dudley to the AVN offices on Tuesday, December 29, 1998, completely unannounced. Fishbein told LukeFord.com that he and other AVN officials “were in an editorial meeting” when the Byron, Black, Lamonica, and a cameraman who Black and Byron had bought along walked in. The cameraman taped a staged confrontation (wrestling-style, anotherwards) where – Black says – Lamonica “got into a big pissing match with Fishbein,” telling him that Extreme Associates should’ve won some of the recent awards given out by AVN. Some photographers snapped pictures of Lamonica gripping Fishbein by the neck and pretending to choke him. Shortly after the incident, Fishbein told Lukeford.com that he “liked Buh Buh and the whole thing was fine,” but that – even so – it still felt a bit “weird and uncomfortable.” He went on to say that “the pissing match really was like wrestling actually because it didn't feel real at all.” Around this same time, Extreme Associate was in the midst of filming and producing the fourth edition of its “Whack Attack” series. Lamonica, Rizzo, Tommy Dreamer, and Francine Fournier were already in town, staying at Black and Borden’s house to celebrate the New Year’s holiday. At one point during New Year’s Weekend, Black talked with ECW superstar Taz (current World Wrestling Entertainment commentator “Tazz”) on the phone for a few minutes. Black ended up bringing Lamonica, Rizzo, and Dreamer to the Extreme Associates studios and filmed them at various times of the day. The final cut of the “Whack Attack 4” production features some of this footage, including Lamonica, Rizzo, and Dreamer watching as a sex scene is filmed and Lamonica and Rizzo hanging out with Black and Borden at the airport. Black also filmed Dreamer talking on the phone with Scott Levy (a.k.a. Raven), who was in World Championship Wrestling at the time. However, that footage didn’t make the final product, as Dreamer requested that Black not include it out of fear that ECW boss Paul Heyman would be upset about possible legalities with WCW. (EDITOR’S NOTE: For those 18 years of age or older, the DVD – which also contains personal footage that Black filmed while with Lizzy Borden and Tom Byron at an ECW show in Queens, NY [covered in the next part of this retrospective] – can be purchased at ExtremeAssocaites.com.) Despite all of this interaction between Extreme Associates personnel and ECW talent, AVN’s Paul Fishbein remained skeptical of Black’s claims of discussions between himself and ECW. However, even more notably, Fishbein stood by what he wrote weeks earlier – while he admitted that AVN “wrote a ton about the wrestling stuff before it happened and it has been slow developing,” he insisted, nonetheless, that he “never thought [black] was full of shit.” He defended what he previously wrote: “For marketing, talking about it will not get you a nomination for Best Campaign. But if it materializes (as it looks like it will) it will be a great coup for Extreme and [black] can market to the mainstream. Our [AVN’s] cut-off date for awards is 10/31/98 and the wrestling thing wasn't happening yet.” Shortly thereafter, in January 1999, Lukeford.com received an anonymous e-mail from a user called “imlikgod,” claiming to be a wrestler who was at one of the shows at which Black and his crew were assigned formal roles. This (supposed) wrestler even claimed to have competed on one of the two Monday night shows (anotherwards, WCW Nitro or WWF RAW). They wrote that “people recognized Tom [byron] but had no idea who Rob or Lizzy were” and that while some of the ECW wrestlers welcomed Black with open arms, some looked at his involvement in ECW in an entirely different manner: “I have friends in ECW who have told me they look forward to smashing a chair over Rob's head. Not everyone likes it when some ‘mark’ off the street comes in and gets TV time.” Black shrugged off those claims, telling Lukeford.com: “He says he's with an A company. I don't know who he is...He must be unimportant…who cares what this guy says. He must be a jobber – someone who gets his ass kicked by the big guys." By this point in time, Rob Black was determined to go through with serious negotiations between his own company, Extreme Associates, and Heyman’s ECW brand, regardless of what the critics were saying. Criticism, after all, seemed to be what Black lived for, judging by his past promotional tactics and those that would follow in the coming years. An Extreme Associates/ECW business accord was coming closer and closer to fruition… COMING NEXT: Rob Black and Paul Heyman talk interpromotional business

I'm trying to download a streaming video file to my computer. It's a WMV format video. Usually what I'll do is right click on the video as its playing and click Properties. That'll bring up a box that gives the actual url of the video, i.e. http://www.whatever.com/whatever/whatever.wmv, and then I'll put a link to that address in a Frontpage document, right click, and download it no problem. But this particular streaming video file isn't http://www.whatever.com/whatever/whatever.wmv, it's mms://www.whatever.com/whatever/whatever.wmv . When I try to right click and Save the Target, I get an error message. Is there a way to download this type of file to your hard drive, or am I wasting my time trying to figure it out? Thanks in advance.
