Ya, I've done the Play-by-Play. I just have to do the analysis. It'll be up in the next week, I promise.

Pics from the show: http://www.shanesphotos.com/wrestling/gall...11505/index.htm

From the WrestlingObserver.com/Dave Meltzer update earlier today: The Rob Van Dam DVD, scheduled for nationwide release today, was pushed back to an official 2/1 release date, which is why there has been no promotional push geared toward it as of yet.

Sure thing. I'll get on as soon as I can. Thanks for the requests people! Any others are welcomed.

Short but funny. Generico doesn't seem too charismatic, although I'll admit to having seen none of his IWA-MS stuff. Beef, on the otherhand, sounds like absolute MUNNAY...

I'll watch it ASAP...This sounds hilarious. Interesting. Very. Do the arenas look the same? Is there commentary for both matches or only one?

HYBRID PRO WRESTLING "No Mercy, No Fear" (the promotion's third show) Saturday Jan 22, 2005 Sat. Jan 22nd 2005 8:00 pm belltime 7:30 Doors $10 Adults - $5 kids American legion hall post 46 5309 S. Supulveda Blvd Culver City, CA 90230 310-391-3087 Main Event: The Messiah vs Kaos (originally supposed to be Dynamite D vs. Kaos in a 2/3 Falls Match, but Messiah had unfinished business; D will probably get involved in some form or another.) Semi-Main Event: Lil Cholo & Dante vs "Ridiculous" Mike Rayne & Super Dave Charles Mercury vs Johnny Nightmare "The Hardcore Homo" Angel vs King Faviano Joey Dynamite vs Big E. Biggz Plus 2 more matches! Interestingly, this show will be going up against PWG, so who knows how it'll do...

Don't scroll down if you don't wanna see Chyna's penis...

What? Styles worked Iaukea and Teddy worked Kainama or someone like that (or maybe it was the other way around) on their only other matches on the tour...There were only two matches per guy on the tour, from everything I've ever seen. I'm 99% they only worked each other once. FMW (Saturday, 12/12/98; Korakuen Hall): Sabu & RVD def. Hayabusa & Tommy Dreamer (RVD pins Dreamer) – 17:27 Honestly, I haven't watched Teddy/AmDrag in many months. I only watched it like twice when I first got it, but I remember being let down by it. I don't remember it being crappy in any way, just nowhere near what I was expecting. Unfortunately, that's way too long and I don't wanna have to review that. JC Bailey/B-Boy I lent to a friend, so I don't have that for a little bit, so it'll have to wait. The other ones I'll be more than happy to review. I've actually written the PBP for Grimes/O'Grady, so I'll just have to write the analysis, so I'll get that done sooner rather than later. The other stuff you mentioned I'll focus on, too. Sure thing.

Saturday, January 16, 2005 Mr. J.L. (a.k.a. JERRY LYNN) vs. REY MYSTERIO Jr. – WCW Nitro (either 12/23/96 or 3/3/97…not sure which; They had three matches together on Nitro and I’m only able to eliminate one as a candidate, after reading OtherArena.com’s reviews.) Review requested by Real F’n Show of TheSmartMarks.com Forums PRE-MATCH: This version of the match has French commentary, which is kind of cool because I know French, so I can understand some of it. One of the commentators compares J.L. – who enters first – to the “Power Rangers.” Next out is your and my favorite wrestler ever, Rey Mysterio Jr. THE MATCH: They get off to a great start, with J.L. using a submission-oriented attack and Rey showing off his quickness a bunch of split-second counters, the highlight of which being a roll-through/kipup/armdrag. As the third tieup commences, J.L.’s uses his strength advantage to combat Rey’s speed edge. Rey finds a brief opening with a sweet Tipup Tilt-a-Headscissors Takeover out of the corner, but seconds later gets dropkicked off of the apron and down to the concrete. J.L.’s Pescada is dodged and Rey uncorks an Apron-Dive Huracanrana, followed moments later by a Springboard Leg Drop that forces J.L.’s throat down across the middle ring rope. After obtaining a 2 count, Rey finds his Irish whip reversed and attempts a Running Body-Climb-style Sunset Flip, only to be planted with a sweet Sitdown Powerbomb sweet counter by J.L., gaining the future-ECW Heavyweight Champ a deuce of his own. J.L. follows with a side backbreaker and absorbs a desperation Super Quebrada Press from Rey before refocusing on Rey’s back with a belly-to-back suplex and a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. J.L. resorts to some more heel offense before Rey comes back with a Diving (from the top turnbuckle) Huracanrana and a spectacular Suicide Dive through the ropes. Back in the ring. J.L. dodges an attempted Springboard Sunset Flip and spikes Rey face-first into the mat for a 2 count, off of a La Majistral cradle. J.L. bodyslams Rey and climbs up top for the finish, but Rey crotches him and hits – get this – a SLINGSHOT Dragonsteiner (Rope Springboard Super Shoulder-Spin Huracanrana) for the victory. WINNER: Rey Mysterio Jr., via pinfall (6:02) Rey sells the back work and celebrates his victory, as replays of the Apron-Dive Rana and the finishing Dragonsteiner are aired. POST-MATCH RAMBLE: This was the first match I’ve seen of Lynn under a mask against anyone besides [green]Sabu[/color], and seeing him paired vs. Rey Mysterio Jr. was quite intriguing. I can only wonder how great these guys could’ve done if they weren’t restricted by time or political-related influences. The French commentary was an interesting addition, but maybe that’s just because I speak some Spanish and understood part of what was said. ANALYSIS: Most of this match, especially the beginning part, was an exhibition meant to show off Rey’s agility. Lynn did a tremendous job of modifying his style so that he reflected both a power advantage and – for a guy his size – unusual quickness. I will say that the number of huracanranas was a little bit absurd – I’m one of Rey’s biggest fans, so I’m more than aware that he has a number of variations of the move in his repertoire, but throwing out the apron-dive, flying, and super shoulder-spin versions in such little was a bit much (and Lynn’s sitdown powerbomb counter to one attempt). The participants did try to build a bit of a story with Rey’s back being targeted, although that can only get you so far in 6:00, especially when you’re using the top rope as much as you use the ring ropes, as Rey typically would when this match took place. Hand-in-hand with this goes the lack of competitiveness, as Lynn obviously there to help make Rey look good, even if he did look very solid in his own right. For the most part, there also wasn’t too much in the form of transitioning other than Irish whip rope-runs. However, as a spotfest (which it was intended to be), this definitely delivered with a mix of good execution, a fast pace, and innovative offense. ¾*. RECOMMENDATION[/b]: If you want to see Rey at his peak, this is for you, although it’s a far cry from his work with Juvi, Psichosis, Eddie Guerrero, etc., matches which combined his standard high-flying with commendable matwork and psychology. Lynn fans are also advised to stay far away from this and just about any other matches with Lynn as Mr. J.L. His ECW matches against Tajiri, Super Crazy, and Little Guido are much better representative of his ability to work well with smaller opponents, and he also had some surprisingly excellent showings in XPW vs. Jonny Storm, Psychosis, and Juventud Guerrera. A.J. STYLES vs. TEDDY HART – World Pacific Championship Wrestling (Oahu, Hawaii; 1/31/04) PRE-MATCH: A.J. is on his way to the ring, with his theme music playing. Teddy’s Eminem music hits and out in he comes in an expensive robe, calmly walking down the entrance ramp. Teddy climbs up onto the top turnbuckle and backflips into the ring. THE MATCH: AJ fires up the crowd into clapping as he squares off with Teddy. Tieup –a struggle for control precedes a break. Then some face-to-face trash-talking, with AJ pushing Teddy away and Teddy hesitating before stepping back. AJ: “You ain’t gonna do nothin’.” You’re gonna take that from him, Teddy? Another squareoff and tieup leads to some headlock and armringer reversals, with Teddy trying to kip up to his feet from the mat, only for AJ to block it and revert to a grounded side headlock. After some headscissors and headlock reversals, they climb to their feet and AJ ends up hitting his leapfrog/dropdown dropkick combo. Teddy’s running corner shoulderblock is dodged and – as a result – he crashes shoulder-first into the ringpost, but pushes AJ down to ringside as he’s trying to springboard in from the apron. After shaking off the hard fall, AJ dodges a catapult somersault plancha and Teddy feels the concrete for himself – “Sh*t! Oh, sh*t!” There are plenty of kids in this crowd, Teddy, and you call yourself a role model? AJ’s Pescada misses the mark, but he smartly lands on his feet and follows up with a Leaping Roundhouse Kick, which sets Teddy up for a Running No-Rope Leaping Somersault Plancha. Back in the ring, AJ bodyslams Teddy and delivers a leaping knee drop to the face off of the ropes for a 2 count, but a few moments later finds himself on the wrong end of a Teddy comeback. Several punches and a stiff uppercut are followed by a pair of near falls for Teddy, off of a Release Backdrop Suplex into Catching (Midair) Bulldog (either the Dungeon Bomb or the Hart Rate, depending on what mood Eric Gargiulo is in while on CZW commentary) and a Face-First (Inverted Torture Rack-style) Samoan Drop. AJ scouts another Torture Rack variation and tries the Styles Clash[/color], but Teddy is still to fresh and back body drops out, before demonstrating tremendous balance with a Moonsault Press off of the middle of the top ring rope (which he gets a 2 count from). Teddy then reverts to submission offense, using his awesome, rapid-fire double-rotation Fujiawara Armbar takedown. However, AJ is eventually able to roll through and climb to his feet (although he does do a great job selling it while on the mat) before fighting out of an armbar via some forearms. He runs into a very awkward-looking back elbow, which Teddy follows with a Standing 270° Swinging DDT and a backdrop suplex for a pair of deuces. AJ finally comes back for the first time in a couple minutes, ducking a lariat and hitting the Quebraeda Inverted DDT. That prompts the referee to begin the 10 count as both guys struggle to their feet. AJ unloads on Teddy with a beautiful 360° Spinning Calf Kick (Booker T-style), a mega lariat (which turns him inside-out), and a big snap-style powerslam, getting another deuce off of that triad of moves. Teddy returns the favor with his Flying Implant DDT, but after getting his own near fall, walks right into a huge forearm smash. AJ gets 2 from the Styles Suplex Special (Backwards Rolling German Suplex into either a Belly-to-Back Sitdown Inverted Powerbomb or a Sitout Inverted Spinebuster, depending on what you want to call it), but Teddy scouts his Huracanrana attempt and Powerbombs him into the mat. The referee again begins the 10 count before Teddy recovers and attempts the Open Hart Surgery (Flying Somersault Senton with a simultaneous 450º Horizontal Corkscrew, or – more simply – a Flying 720º Corkscrew Somersault Senton). After rolling away, AJ climbs up top and gets crotched, but ends up countering a Super Huracanrana attempt into a Super Styles Clash (off of the middle turnbuckle) for the 3 count and victory. An exhausted AJ has his hand raised and we cut out. WINNER: AJ Styles, via pinfall (12:06) POST-MATCH RAMBLE: Well, that commentary was…different, as you’ll soon find out. They really could’ve used better lighting here and the shaky camerawork didn’t help matters, either. THE COMMENTARY: Supposedly, there were two men on commentary, although a couple people have told me that WPCW just had one guy play two different commentators. Either way, the commentary here was really cheap. One of the commentators (or one of his voices, depending on what you believe) sounded like legendary So-Cal manager/commentator/promoter Ron Hed after having a couple too many Heinekens and the other person/voice resembled a coked up (although sober, at least) version of Ron Hed after having a couple too many Heinekens. The coked up commentator mentioned early in that AJ has the experience edge, which I’m not sure is true. AJ started in ’98 or ’99 and I know Teddy started no later than ’98, and I’m pretty sure a little bit earlier than that. Whoever the voices came from, they were both really freaky, sounding like they had a clothes pin or whatever you call it on their noses. At one point they actually compared the match to Steamboat vs. Savage from WrestleMania III, which is an absolute atrocity. ANALYSIS: Unfortunately, this was quite a letdown for me, and most fans of these two guys would likely feel the same way. Was it a bad match? Definitely not, but it was nowhere near what these two are capable of, let alone what they should be capable of with each other. The believability and the execution of the moves needed improvement at some points in the match, as there were two or three instances of apparent miscommunication. As annoying as the commentators were, I do admit that they tried to play this match off as something special, but their attempts were in vain, as neither guy delivered here like he should have. The opening matwork was solid, but after that, the transitioning in between the moves was really lacking (and both guys were guilty of this). Trying the dives out of the ring was also not too smart of an idea because that sequence meant nothing so early into the match. From then on, it was really just hit and miss. There were quite a few high-impact moves, but in between each one it was pretty empty. AJ is a tremendous scientific wrestler and Teddy isn’t bad himself in that aspect of his game, so I was disappointed that they didn’t stretch their horizons and engage in some more move reversal and Irish whip counter sequences. On the flip side, I thought that the many near falls helped the match’s quality and assisted in building some drama, but from a psychology standpoint, this is a far cry from what one usually sees from Teddy and especially AJ. One aspect that helped a little bit was that they built up the effect of strikes (such as uppercuts, lariats, and especially forearms), as it was that which enabled to hit the Backdrop Suplex turned bulldog and AJ to hit the Styles Suplex Special, but that could only help so much with this match. Also, I would’ve preferred a more creative finish than the ‘Rana-turned-Styles Clash that I’ve seen so often in AJ matches. Overall, for any two up-and-coming indy workers, this would’ve been something to be relatively proud of, but considering the accomplishments of AJ Styles and Teddy Hart and also keeping in mind how much Teddy has praised AJ’s ability, this was a far cry from the best efforts that these two wrestlers have previously put out and could definitely be deemed a considerable letdown. It’s weird because I was let down by both this and Teddy vs. “American Dragon” Bryan Danielson (another top-tier indy talent) from MLW (although I haven’t seen is match with Low Ki yet). It’s as if Teddy can work tremendously well with everybody but the absolute top echelon of the U.S. indy circuit. Then again, the Danielson match wasn’t given all that much time, whereas this match was provided more than enough time to sufficiently develop and for the most part failed in its attempt. Being in Hawaii, it’s possible that they were trying to cater to a different audience, but even with that in mind, I don’t know why they worked the match so poorly from a psychological perspective. This wasn’t even a traditional, 70’s-or-80’s-type match – at least those would develop drama based on the heel gradually pulling apart his more popular opponent. Here there was no face and there was no heel, two roles that should’ve been defined minutes into the match. *3/4. Seriously, no higher than that, in my opinion – not even **. RECOMMENDATION: The really enthusiastic followers of either AJ or Teddy may want to seek out this match, but it doesn’t live up to its on-paper appeal. I’d have to encourage Teddy fans to pick this up more than I would AJ fans because Teddy hasn’t had a whole lot of matches against U.S. wrestlers, while AJ has had plenty. However, even fans of Teddy should first be sure to check out his matches with Juventud Guerrera, Homicide, and Trent Acid because those are all much better showings than this one. ERIC YOUNG & SONJAY DUTT vs. EL FUEGO & JERELLE CLARK – NWA Total Nonstop Action PPV #66 (taped/aired 10/15/03 from the Nashville Fairgrounds/TNA Asylum in Nashville, TN) PRE-MATCH: Young & Dutt enter first, followed by their opponents. Young – best known for his work in Scott D’Amore’s Border City Wrestling out of Canada – is the only participant in this match with any TNA experience under his belt, as all of the others are making their debuts for the promotion. THE MATCH: Sonjay and Clark start things off with an exchange of inverted facelocks before moving onto an Irish whip sequence. After some hiptoss attempts are blocked, Clark executes a nice-looking Rocker Dropper-style Huracanrana. Sonjay, however, manages to land on his feet out of a hiptoss and executes a Tilt-a-Whirl Headscissors Takeover, followed up by an armdrag and a dropkick. Each participant tags out and their respective partners enter the ring. Young absorbs a power display (knee lift, armringer, and chop) from Fuego before cartwheeling and kipping up while having his hand in a wristlock. Young throws a dropkick before they have some minor miscommunication issues for a couple of seconds, before getting back on top of things as Young delivers a Belly-to-Belly (non-overhead) Suplex. Some heel interference by Clark enables Fuego to recapture the advantage with a Divorce Court (armbar) DDT from Fuego and a double-team Assisted Sliced Bread #2 (Dunn & Marcos’ Unskinny Bop)! Niiiiice… Young is relentless and tries to fight back, but falls victim to not only a Pumphandle Overhead Suplex (from Clark), but a f*cking Handspring/Backspring (Tajiri-style) 360° Horizontal Corkscrew Backflip Splash! Young escapes at 2, prompting Clark to tag out and Fuego to unleash an innovative Hammerlock Backdrop Suplex, dropping Young’s body right on top of his own hand (ouch)! Clark’s back in and Young’s arm becomes the target of focus, as Clark utilizes an armbar snapmare and a jujigatame. Young eventually fights to his feet and uses one arm to lift Clark’s entire body onto his shoulders. He then goes so far as to lift Young off of the top turnbuckle and also onto his shoulders, while still holding Clark. So, now Young has two guys on his shoulders at one time and proceeds to drop them both at the same time with a Death Valley Driver!!! That’s gotta be a first. The crowd rallies for Young as he crawls to his corner, but Fuego prevents a tag by knocking Sonjay off of the apron. Finally, in a really anti-climactic moment, Young flips out of a backdrop suplex, crawls through Fuego’s feet, and tags in Sonjay, who enters with a Missile Dropkick that connects with both of his opponents. Sonjay lands on the apron off of a back body drop and re-enters with a Catapult Somersault Huracanrana on Clark before spiking Fuego with a beautiful Tilt-a-Whirl 360° Swinging DDT! Clark trips Sonjay as he’s about to dive onto a ringside Fuego, but Young covers for his opponent and hits a baseball slide swinging neckbreaker on Fuego. The heels take out Young with an Asai Moonsault (Clark) and a Running Catapult Suicide Dive over the ropes (Fuego), only to fall victim to a Running No-Handed Springboard 360° Horizontal Corkscrew Crossbody from Sonjay! Back in the ring, Clark blocks a punch from Young and snapmares him into position for the…FLYING 630° a.k.a. 450° SENTON~!!! Delayed cover, allowing Sonjay to break it up at 2 and deliver the Calcut Cut (Running Knee Smash to face…DDT onto the knee…Leaping Kneckbreaker combo) for his own deuce (Fuego saves). Fuego scouts Sonjay’s second attempt at a Tilt-a-Whirl Swinging DDT and sits him up top, with his back facing the ring. Sonjay escapes the Super Backdrop Suplex attempt and debuts the Hindy Press (Phoenix Splash) in TNA for the 3 count, as Clark is still busy recovering his wind (as is Young, actually). WINNERS: Eric Young & Sonjay Dutt (Dutt pins El Fuego) – 8:02 POST-MATCH RAMBLE: Clark looks like and wrestles like a more athletic version of “The Shooter” Tony Jones. He surprised me with his mat-oriented offense, as – before viewing this match – I was under the assumption that he was primarily a “spot worker” (and he does have some AWESOME spots). Sonjay looked damn good in his TNA debut, but most of all I was happy to see how into the match the commentators were. Even before the ring entrances had been completed, Mike Tenay was analyzing each guy’s talents and even had an interesting story about El Fuego, saying how he trained in Canada alongside of Edge & Christian. Tenay also gets points for mentioning “the CSWF” (Cyber Space Wrestling Federation) out of New Jersey, saying how that’s where he got his first look at Sonjay’s work, AND for mentioning Sonjay’s nickname of “The Original Playa from the Himalaya.” ANALYSIS: I liked that they developed a solid story (with Young being isolated and his arm being gradually weakened) in addition to some really innovative spots. Going hand-in-hand with the story is the fact that they actually developed heel/face personas here, which you normally wouldn’t expect from such a short match. The story itself didn’t go all that far, but then again there’s only so much you can do in 8 minutes, and TNA’s willingness to give these relative no-namers 8 minutes in the ring was pretty generous. Just about every move was unusually crisp and there were almost no botched spots, which is something to be quite proud of considering the relative lack of experience that these four possess, AND they’re being on a platform as grand as TNA. The matwork had a decent spin added to it, thanks to the inverted facelocks exchange between Dutt and Clark and Young’s lucha-style cartwheels. As I mentioned in the play-by-play, I really disliked the anti-climactic nature of Young’s eventual tag to Sonjay. That – along with Clark’s preceding the 630° with a simple snapmare and Young waiting for 10+ seconds for him to climb up top, without making any attempt to move away – will bring this match down a small notch. Overall, though, this is definitely entertaining to watch and it was different from the standard X-Division action in that it incorporated a story and they used spots that you don’t see every other match (most notably the Sliced Bread #2, the Corkscrew Backflip Splash, the Double-Death Valley Driver). All four guys looked at the very least solid in this match, which made for an entertaining 8 minutes of creative and surprisingly logical action (in terms of the psychology aspect). *3/4. RECOMMENDATION: Certainly worth checking out if you’re an X-Division fan. For Sonjay fans, there’s better stuff of his out there, seeing as how he wasn’t the primary focus here. That’s not so say this is a bad match, by any means – it was definitely different than the traditional X-Division match TNA offered up around this time, in terms of the spots it utilized.

You were born on two different days?

I don't mean to sound like an asshole, but considering I've seen the tape several times, I think I have the right to say that you are wrong in this particular instance. Everthing points against him on that tape. Well, buy a bootleg then. Someone on DVDR is selling it. Anyone with half a brain could see from that tape that New Jack was WAY out of line.

It would stiffen MY pants, considering they'd do a subpar revival of the Tajiri feud that could never do their series of matches justice.

Exclusive notes on New Jack backstage at WWE, how he came across to the wrestlers and management, and what he did in the ring. From PWI Elite hype-machine. Anyone a member who can shed light on what they report? I'm interested in hearing how he acted...

The charges were thrown out and the whole case was bullshit Have you seen RF Video's Undercover with New Jack, where he talks about the incident? Have you seen the actual FOOTAGE of the incident? I have, and Jack had no right to do what he did. He admits to going absolutely crazy on this guy and stabbing him silly, and the only defense he gives is some bullshit like "the police had this looking like I attacked this guy in a parking lot. What happens in the ring stays in the ring." Jack was damn sure in the wrong with ttat. And Michael Jordan, the stabbing that deep WAS out of script. There was never a set finish; they were going to brawl around the gym and have a blowoff match the next month. The stabbing the guy in the neck, back, arm, leg, etc. was all done on the spur of the moment, none pre-planned.

New Jack and Val Venis working together in the same ring...God, just the thought of Jack in WWE...I still can't comprehend it...it'd be like Sabu jumping off of the RAW Titan Tron...oh wait, that kinda happened already...Good to see Jack's at least getting looked at. I don't like him as a person, but as a performer he's very entertaining.

They also did a singles match together where they did strictly mat wrestling. New Jack's said so in interviews.

Maintenance Man, here's just one promo Jack did on the Dudleyz (from CZW in early 2004), uploaded by myself: http://s12.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0WGXTLV...AW1J7ETBHVPYNVS In a nutshell, Jack claims that Buh Buh and D-Von stole his gimmick, bringing up how immediately upon going to WWE, they started using camoflauge, and that their entrance music began with a bomb drop, just as his theme, "Natural Born Killaz" by Ice Cube, begins. He says that they're punks in the ring and that they couldn't fight for their lives in a real fight. Good interviews where he talks about them are on Getinthering.tv and TrashTalkingRadio.com.

- That he hopes D-Von's son and D-Von get ass-raped to death - that he wouldn't piss on the Dudleyz if they were burning to death - that he fucked D-Von's wife many times and that every time D-Von has sex with his wife, he's doing the equivalent of "tasting my nuts" - and more

Didn't he have a 'real' match with Tommy Dreamer once in ECW. Dreamer took the mic and said something like 'we're not going to do that tonight Jack'. Off the top of my head that's the only thing I know of. Ya, I remember reading about that match. If someone can hook me up with it, I may be interested in buying it. New Jack also did a wrestling match with Dynamite D in XPW for about 7 minutes (lots of armbars, armdrags, headlocks, wristlocks, hammerlocks, etc.) before going hardcore.

Holy shit.

Does he post here?

CREDIT: DOIWrestling.com After the recent CSWF event, that took place in Wayne, NJ, this past Saturday night, former ROH Owner and current RF Video Owner, Rob Feinstein, met up with the NWA Heavyweight Champion and NWA Management member, Jeff Jarrett. Both sides discussed the past, present and future, and seemed to get along like they were friends for a long time. There were rumors that there may be heat between the sides as each men entered the building, but after the show, both sides shook hands and exchanged pleasantries. It is not known if their meeting was anything that would translate into potential business for either side in the future, but it was good to see both sides, who were rumored to have heat, get along and have fun. Look for a full CSWF McReview coming soon to the DOI. Interstingly, Abyss was also on this show, along with Jarrett AND Jeremy Borash. Interesting that they all were willing to appear on the same event.

Those are my thoughts, too. He looks really...you know...in that pic, more so than I've ever seen him before (besides as the *F*un *A*thletic *G*uy manager in JAPW and other indies).
