I just realized - under my avatar (she's hot, ain't she? ), it says "Jeff Hardy." I know I didn't type it. I don't even know how to get it to say anything there. None of the other members have names of wrestlers. Did a mod change it or something? Is there a way to delete it? Thanks in advance.

I've started doing the Velocity recaps for WrestlingObserver.com, and since that's such a prestigious site, I wanna make sure there's fun to read, don't ramble on too much, and are just well written overall. This is the second time ever I've done play by play for a WWE show. I did a live recap for TLNWrestling.com many years ago for a HeAT episode that Dean Malenko co-hosted. Haven't done it since, but plan to from now on for the Observer site. So, let me know how this looks. Again, whatever feedback is given will help a lot because I really don't wanna blow this great opportunity for some dumb reason. WWE Velocity Aired Saturday, June 26, 2004 Report by IndyWrestling619 Quick Match Results: Charlie Haas forces Sakoda to tap out; Johnny Stamboli pins Scoot Andrews; Hardcore Holly pins Mark Jindrak. - Velocity opening video - Josh Matthews and Bill DeMott are our commentators for tonight’s episode. - Charlie Haas comes out to the ring, accompanied by Miss Jackie Gayda. Sakoda follows soon thereafter, but Akio isn't by his side because they’ve been banned from ringside, out of suspicion that he’d interfere. Charlie Haas (w/ Miss Jackie Gayda) vs. Sakoda A tieup sees Haas start with a headlock, before getting pushed into the ropes. He shoulderblocks Sakoda down to the mat, and then hops over him and bounces off of the ropes again. Sakoda tries a hiptoss, but Haas has none of it and instead executes a nice fireman’s carry takeover, before they pause for another squareoff. Sakoda attempts to surprise Haas with a kick, but Haas catches it and ducks an enziguri attempt, before going after Sakoda, but the referee forces Haas to back up because Sakoda has grabbed the ropes. Another tieup leads to Haas forcing Sakoda into the corner, where he refuses to break cleanly and instead hammers Sakoda with punches. Sakoda gets sent into the turnbuckle once again and bounces off, right into a big beil throw from Haas. Sakoda regains control with a surprise punch before nailing a leaping roundhouse kick to the back of the head. A swinging neckbreaker follows and garners a 2 count for Sakoda, who then slows things down with a rear chinlock choke. Both Jackie and the fans rally Haas to his feet and he escapes the hold with elbow smashes to Sakoda’s gut, but before he can run off of the ropes, Sakoda slams him back-first down to the mat. Sakoda leads Haas into the corner and decimates him with headbutt thrusts and knee scrapes to the face (including a running version off of the adjacent ropes). Sakoda runs off of the ropes, but Haas hightails it to his feet and surprises him with a flapjack out of nowhere, dropping him throat-first across the top ring rope! Both superstars slowly climb back up to their feet, and although Sakoda gets the advantage initially, Haas blocks a punch and gets some of his own, before whipping Sakoda into the ropes and back elbowing him down. Haas downs Sakoda with a shoulderblock and then a dropkick. Now, Haas executes a running leaping splash that pancakes Sakoda into the corner, and then hits a flapjack that plants him into the center of the ring. That sets up the Haas of Pain, which is enough to force Sakoda to tap out. After the match, Jackie enters the ring and celebrates the victory with her man, Haas, before they exit the ring. WINNER: Charlie Haas - Clips from SmackDown!’s Cruiserweight Battle Royal are shown. Kidman tries to fight off Chavo Guerrero Jr. and Jamie Noble, but the numbers game proves too much for him. It’s not until Noble double-crosses Chavo that Kidman is able to find an opening. He escapes a Tiger Driver attempt and pushes Noble out of the ring, before turning his attention to Chavo. The Guerrero family superstar fights Kidman off and avoids his Dudley Dog-style bulldog attempt, before lifting him up into the Gory Special, from which position he tosses Kidman over the top ring rope and out to ringside to win the match! As a result, Chavo will get a shot at Rey Misterio’s Cruiserweight Title at tomorrow’s Great American Bash PPV. Matthews and DeMott hype the match by recounting Chavo and Rey’s history against one another. - More SmackDown! clips are aired. Bradshaw and Kurt Angle plot against Eddie Guerrero, as Luther watches on. Bradshaw suddenly gets the idea of booking Luther against Eddie, and we cut to clips of that match, as Luther nails an over-the-shoulder powerslam. Angle climbs into the ring and tries to count a fast pinfall, but Eddie somehow kicks out! Luther grabs the WWE title belt from ringside and plans to attack Eddie with it, but distraction from Angle lets Eddie low blow Luther and take control. Eddie takes out Luther before turning his attention to Angle, but all of a sudden tosses the belt to Angle, just as the referee recovers. As a result, the ref thinks that Angle was interfering and he forces a livid Angle out of the ring, while Eddie hits the Frog Splash! The match looks to be over, but Bradshaw runs out and breaks up the pin, giving Eddie the DQ win. Bradshaw proceeds to dismantle Eddie with the bullrope, but Eddie finds an opening, grabs the rope, and bashes it across Bradshaw’s forehead to get a moment to recover! Eddie begins to whip Bradshaw with the rope before Bradshaw is able to run for the hills, as Angle screams in frustration from his wheelchair. - Out comes Johnny Stamboli, without any of his fellow F.B.I. matches. Scoot Andrews is already in the ring. Johnny Stamboli vs. “The Black Nature Boy” Scoot Andrews A squareoff and tieup sees Stamboli force Andrews into the corner, and then arrogantly push him up onto the top turnbuckle, before they square off for a second time. This time, they begin with a Greco-Roman knucklelock…or so it looks, but instead Andrews surprises Stamboli with a gut kick, and then applies an armbar. Stamboli escapes with an X-Pac-style rope-assisted backflip, and then armdrags Andrews out to ringside. Andrews takes a breather before re-entering and preparing to square off again. Scoot wants a handshake from Stamboli, but Stamboli surprises him with a fireman’s carry slam out of nowhere for a 2 count. Stamboli slows it down with a bearhug-style frog facelock, but Andrews counters into a wristlock. Stamboli rolls through and absorbs a snapmare before escaping and locking on a hammerlock. Andrews forces Stamboli away from him with a forearm to the face, and then trips Stamboli face-first into the corner, which causes him to spill through the ropes and out to ringside. Stamboli climbs up onto the apron and tries to attack Scoot from there, but Scoot drapes his body through the ropes and nails a Corner Slingshot Leg Drop for a 2 count, as Stamboli is able to grab the nearby ropes. Andrews unloads with some punches and then begins choking Stamboli on the middle ring rope. He whips Stamboli into the corner, but Stamboli gets a boot up when Andrews charges in. He tries a running lariat, but Andrews ducks and nails a leaping heelkick for a 2 count. Next, Stamboli gets sent into the rope, but executes a sunset flip for a 2 count. A series of high-speed pinfall reversals end with Scoot running off of the ropes, only to get a big spinebuster. Stamboli now blocks a punch and nails one of his own, before charging out of the corner with a running forearm smash that takes Andrews down. A second forearm knocks Andrews down again before Stamboli delivers a face-first back body drop into the mat for a 2 count. Stamboli raises the roof (just as he did last week) before attempting the Forgetabboutit (set up by a press slam), but Andrews drops out, lands on his feet, and whips Stamboli into the corner. He charges at the F.B.I. member, but Stamboli gets a boot up, before whipping Andrews into the corner himself. Stamboli charges, but receives an elbow to the face, after which Andrews leaps off of the middle buckle and is caught – Forgetaboutit (Press Slam into Over-the-Shoulder Powerslam Setup into F-5) wins it for Stamboli! WINNER: Johnny Stamboli - A look at last week’s SmackDown! shows us clips of John Cena vs. The Undertaker. Cena escaped a Chokeslam attempt and nailed the F-U, but there was no referee. Cena began to pay too much attention to the ref, though, and received a Chokeslam, but lucky for him, the ref was still down. Undertaker would end up grabbing his chain, wrapping it around his fist, and knocking Cena out with a vicious punch. A Tombstone Piledriver followed and the referee recovered to count the pinfall – 1-2-3. The Undertaker is your winner. The arena turns black as the Deadman celebrates. - Matthews and Demott review the Great American Bash card, before hyping tonight’s main event that’s coming up next – Mark Jindrak vs. Hardcore Holly, which will be a rematch from their bout on last week’s Velocity (an encounter won by Jindrak). - Teddy Long is in the ring and introduces the fans to “the Reflection of Perfection” – Mark Jindrak, who – according to Long – “has the money in the mouth” and the “most prettiest face in the whole wide world.” Yeah, baby, yeah…Teddy lets us know that he’s instructed Mark about the world of “thuggin’ and buggin’,” and that Jindrak is going to let Hardcore Holly feel the wrath of one of the most toned physiques in pro wrestling. Teddy commands all of the fans to rise to their feet and respect Jindrak with him, while “The Reflection of Perfection” regards himself in a mirror. However, Hardcore Holly breaks up the segment by coming out to the ring. Mark Jindrak (w/ Teddy Long) vs. Hardcore Holly Holly charges into the ring and the two slug it out to start. Jindrak eventually gets the best of the exchange and attempts a cross-corner whip. Holly reverses it and sends in Jindrak, who tips up and over him and lands on his feet. A gut kick to Holly precedes an Irish whip into the ropes, but Holly will have none of his hiptoss attempt and instead delivers one of his own. A vicious punch to the face sends Jindrak back down, before Holly unloads with chops, stomps, and a boot choke in the corner. Jindrak ain’t looking too perfect right now. Holly exits the ring and starts yelling at Long, which proves to be a mistake, as Jindrak recovers and attacks him from behind. He spears Holly into the ringside guardrail before rolling him back into the ring and trying a pin, but only gets a 1 count. After acquiring the same result from a suplex, Jindrak starts verbally taunting Holly, before whipping him into the ringpost with so much force that Holly bounces back down to the mat. Jindrak stomps a mudhole in his adversary and then delivers a snapmare, before slowing things down with a grounded rear chinlock. Holly rallies to his feet and tries to escape the submission with elbows to the gut, but Jindrak ends his attempted comeback with a big overhead fist smash to the back. Holly absorbs a great deal more punishment, including a face-first slam into the ringpost, headbutt thrusts in the corner, another cross-corner whip that sends him bouncing back down to the mat, and finally a snapmare, before Jindrak reverts back to the grounded rear chinlock. Jindrak is within a few feet of the ropes, so Long shouts advice to him. Holly fights back onto his feet and escapes the hold before running off of the ropes, only to charge into a back elbow for a 2 count. Jindrak whips Holly across the ring again, but takes too long to charge from the opposite corner and Holly gets both foot up into his face, before climbing up top and nailing a Flying Crossbody Block for a 2 count. Jindrak’s youth shows, however, as he beats Holly back up to his feet and attacks. He tries an Irish whip, but Holly delivers a fist to the back, before sending him into the ropes and dropkicking him down. Long climbs up onto the apron and distracts the referee, but Holly knocks him off, only to turn around into a beautiful standing dropkick from Jindrak. That gets a 2 count and Jindrak is really frustrated. He tries to whip Holly into the corner again, but the whip is reversed. Jindrak ties a tipup, but Holly catches his opponents’ legs on his own shoulders and nails the Alabama Slam (Snap Double-Leg Slam) for the pinfall win! Jindrak’s hope to defeat Holly two straight times has been shattered, as Holly emerges victorious. WINNER: Hardcore Holly Feedback regarding this recap may be sent to [email protected]. Next week, I'm gonna start adding in a best match/worst match listing. I just wanted to get it to Meltzer as soon as possible to see if he would actually keep his word about putting it up if I sent it, and being the great guy he is, he did. Because I'm supposed to send it in ASAP after the show ends, I doubt I'll be able to do extensive analysis of each match, but I'll try to start adding some really quick thoughts afterward. Thanks so much for listening to me ramble, LOL. All feedback is welcome - positive or negative.

I'm writing an article about the current Raven vs. Sabu feud in TNA. It shuld be up in about a week and a half. I need to know, though. Is it true that Sheik trained both of them? Obviously, he trained Sabu, but what about Raven? I thought he was trained by Larry Sharpe and Jake Roberts? Is TNA making up that Sheik trained him, or was Sheik actually involved in his training? Thanks so much in advance. Any help would be much appreciated.

I never saw him do it in ECW. ROH was the first time I ever saw him do it, and I couldn't believe it.

Some of them don't count as international, but still...Dusty Rhodes, Corino, Funk, Abby, Jeff Hardy are big ass names.

New England Pro Wrestling TV Aired at 9:00 AM on Saturday, June 26, 2004 in selected Connecticut outlets Check out CTChampionshipWrestling.com for full info on how to catch NEPW TV if you live in the Connecticut area. Report by LucharesuFan619 on Saturday, June 26, 2004 - Opening highlight video, featuring Raven, Sabu, Balls Mahoney, The S.A.T., and various others. - Jeff “The Hungryman” Harris and Joe Lachance (the executive director of CCW) are our commentators for this week’s episode of NEPW TV. - All of these matches were taped on the June 23, 2004 CCW WrestleJam show at the Camm (sp?) School in Northford, CT. - Nocturne is already in the ring, and sits down in the corner like Raven loves to do. Next, out comes his opponent, Dave Cole. Holyoke Joe is the referee. NOCTURNE vs. DAVE COLE Nocturne delivers two armdrags righta way, and then demonstrates the submission tutoring he’s gotten from Mike Quackenbush, Christopher Daniels, and the recently retired John Brooks by applying a single-leg Boston crab and quickly transitioning that into a stepover toehold with a double-leg grapevine. Cole shows his first sign of life and counters into an armbar, before taking a page out of AJ Styles’ book and doing a kipup directly into his own armdrag, followed by an arminrger, another armdrag, and then a sweet-looking modified snapmare. After what appears to be some brief miscommunication, does a really sweet move where he grabs a hold of Cole’s arm and bounces off of the middle ring rope with a slingshot armdrag. A fast-paced lucha-style sequence ensues, as Cole returns the favor with his own armdrag that was led into by a 360º pivot around Nocturne’s back. Nocturne gets right back on top of things, though, and delivers a wheelbarrow armdrag, followed by a hard punch that sends Cole out to ringside. It looks like there was some more miscommunication, as Cole tried a running catapult pescada of sorts, but Nocturne barely touched him, so Cole crashed down hard onto the concrete floor. Nocturne rolls Cole back into the ring, but nobody’s home for his Eddie Guerrero catapult somersault senton, and Cole takes back control with a bodyslam, a jumping knee drop off of the ropes, and a beautiful bridging northern lights suplex for a pair of 2 counts. Nocturne finally initiates a comeback by using a Damian 666-style Running Rope-Climb Super Huracanrana for a 2 count, and speaking of Damian, we’ll be seeing another Damian in action later on tonight – that being “Debonair” Damian Adams. Anyway, though, back to the match – Cole receives a running bulldog out of the corner, leading into another Nocturne stepover toehold, basically the same move he did earlier in the match. Cole refuses to tap, so Nocturne eventually releases and delivers a bodyslam before pulling out of his bag of tricks a friggin’ Slingshot 270ْº Inverted Senton Bomb (If you’ve ever seen “The Hardcore Homo” Angel do the Bathhouse Bomb in XPW, you know what this looks like.) off of the bottom buckle for a 2 count. A second bodyslam precedes another highspot attempt by Nocturne, only this one – a Corner Quebrada – misses, and Cole comes out of the corner with a Yakuza Kick that might as well have took off Nocturne’s head! Holyoke Joe begins a 10 count, as both competitors struggle to their feet. Forget that song, Raining Men…we’re raining spots here, as after a quick reversal, Cole nails a Fisherman’s Swinigng Neckbreaker, but then Nocturne is right back up within a matter of moments and delivers a head drop Fishermanbuster for a 2 count, after reversing an Irish whip with an armringer.. The third instance of apparent miscommunication occurs after Cole drops out of an over-the-shoulder powerslam attempt, but they try to cover it up as best as possible, by Cole ducking a lariat, lifting Nocturne onto his back, and taking it home with a Gory Guerrero Special for the 3 count. WINNER: Dave Cole (via pinfall) - A quick ad is shown for tomorrow’s CCW Revolution (CTChampionshipWrestling.com for more info!) event in Fairfield, CT. I’ll be there. Will you? - Cut back to live action, as we see American Idol & Wiqued make their way to the ring, followed by their opponents, Bad Leroy Brown & The Iron Eagle. The latter two charge the ring and scare off their counterparts, before entering the ring. The referee isn’t Holyoke Joe, this time. AMERICAN IDOL & WIQUED vs. BAD LEROY BROWN & The IRON EAGLE Idol & Wiqued mount a blindside attack to start the match. Idol takes it to Leroy as Wiqued assaults Eagle, but not for long, as the faces counter stereo Irish whip attempts and deliver back body drops onto their opponents. The heels take back control, though, as Idol helps Wiqued beat on Eagle, who receives a lariat from Idol and is then stretched via a grounded double chickenwing hold. The fans chant Eagle’s name, but Idol – whose dressed in street clothes – continues his assault with a sloppy leaping heelkick off of an Irish whip. One thing’s for sure – he may have some singing talent (although I doubt it), but he’s definitely no Spanky when it comes to leg lariats. Wiqued tags in and gets his first burst offense, that being a standing dropkick for a 2 count. Stomps to Eagle’s back are followed by Idol choking Eagle in the corner behind the ref’s back. Eagle – whose sweat pants are gradually coming off all the while – tries to fight back, but gets tripped by Wiqued. Idol enters and loses the distinct advantage for his team, as both he and Eagle collide on running crossbody attempts, while the commentators compare Idol to real-life A.I. sensation Clay Aikan. I don’t know about that… Leroy and Wiqued are both tagged in, and Leroy cleans house with a bodysam, a lariat, and a DDT for a 2 count. Wiqued gets panicked into the ringpost with a lariat before taking a sideslam from Leroy. Idol breaks up the pinfall, convincing Leroy to tag into Eagle, who comes in with a Double Axehandle Smash to Wiqued’s back, and then joins Leroy for a double-team suplex. That gets 2 from Eagle. Eagle whips Wiqued into the corner and delivers a unique running spear thrust to the back, but when he sets up for another, he’s tripped by Idol, who then enters the ring and assaults him. Leroy makes the save for his partner, but Wiqued attacks him, and what looks to be another example of miscommunication ensues (although it’s only the first example in this match), before Eagle accidentally lariats Leroy down when Wiqued ducks the attack. That leads to Idol delivering an Acid Drop/Dudley Dog on Eagle for the pinfall win, as the American Idol theme music hits and Idol & Wiqued celebrate their victory. WINNERS: American Idol & Wiqued - Another CCW Revolution ad. - Here come Brian Fury and the colossal (as in the size of Big Sal E. Graziano) Molson, who are going up against Team Target. Here comes Dizzie & Devious, accompanied by All Money Is Legal. The referee here is an older man named Al Turzy. BRIAN FURY & MOLSON vs. Team Target (DIZZIE & DEVIOUS) (w/ All Money Is Legal) An awesome, fast-paced sequence between Fury and Dizzie starts us off. Dizzie executes a double-leg takedown before using a sweet-looking snapmare. Fury gets sent into the ropes, but takes control with a tilt-a-whirl armdrag and follows with a wheelbarrow armdrag attempt, only to receive a RELEASE TIGER SUPLEX~! Fury’s attempt to find shelter at ringside fails, as Dizzie flies out over the top ring rope with a friggin’ Corner Catapult Quebrada Press(!), before rolling Fury back into the ring and tagging in Molson. Devious (the bigger of the two) also gets tagged in and squares off with the giant, and his shoulderblocks don’t faze Molson at all, so he resorts to a running spinning heelkick to get the big man off of his feet. Some chops precede an Irish whip across the ring by Devious and a running leaping back elbow smash in the corner. Dizzie tags back in and he and his partner execute a big boot (Devious)/superkick (Dizzie) combo on Molson, only to have Dizzie charge into a sideslam from Molson just a few moments later for a 2 count. Dizzie now tags in. A double whip and then hit a big boot (devious), Superkick (Dizzie) combo. Dizzie runs off of the ropes but gets sideslammed. 2. Fury tags in and delivesr a body slam and jumping leg drop onto Dizzie for his own 2 count, while Molson chokes Dizzie behind the ref’s back. Behind the ref’s back, Molson chokes Dizzie. After absorbing some more choking from Fury, Dizzie tries to fight back with a running crossbody that gets a 2 count, but Fury beats him back to his feet and delivers an elbow smash to the neck and a knee drop for another 2 count, leading to some more choking. Molson is tagged in and decimates Dizzie in the corner, before bodyslamming him and going up top. A Flying Somersault Senton only partially hits the mark, but Dizzie sells it anyway, and Molson uses a one-handed pin to get a 2 count. Next, Molson tries a 400 lb. MOONSAULT off of the top turnbuckle, but Dizzie thankfully rolls away and finally tags in Devious, who decimates Fury with overhead fist smashes to the back and finally an AWESOME Blue Thunder Driver that actually resembled more of a Sitout Backdrop Suplex, only he made it even cooler by wrapping Fury’s arm around his head as if for a stunner, and then executing the move. I’ve never seen it before. Suffice to say, it gets a 2 count. Devious reminds me a lot of Kraq, the gay character from XPW. They look quite a bit alike (Kraq is slightly bigger) and their Devious’ aforemtntioned overhead fist smashes bring Kraq’s nearly identical offense to mind immediately. There’s a difference between them, though – unlike Kraq, Devious appears to actually has an ounce of talent. Anyway, though Molson back body drops Dizzie out of the ring, while Fury sunset flips Devious for the 2 count, only the dumbass cameramen miss the finish. Idiots. WINNERS: Brian Fury & Molson (via Fury pinfall over Devious) - Another CCW Revolution ad. - We cut back to an in-ring speech by CCW Executive Director Joe Lachance. He talks about how the show is a fundraiser, thanks the fans for coming out to the show, and hypes the raffle, concession stands, and CCW merchandise that’s being sold. Too bad that it’s kinda of difficult for a home viewer to walk through the TV screen and buy some stuff…Anyway, though, “The Canadian Superstar” J-Busta comes out to the ring and takes the mic. The commentators talk over the first part of his promo, so I don’t know what he started by saying, but the basic gist is that he challenges Florida sensation Mikey Batts, who grew up here in Connecticut, attended the school that this show is being held at, and is making his dramatic Connecticut homecoming at this CCW event. Up until now, he’s always worked in Florida. Batts – who is Billy Kidman’s real-life cousin, and was partially trained by Kidman – comes out to the ring, which scares J-Busta into retreating out to ringside. Batts cuts one of the most intense fucking I have ever seen. He’s got some strong words for J-Busta, and I must say – this is how all indy promos need to be. He says that the previous night, he boarded a flight in Tampa, Florida and came here to Connecticut for two reasons: 1. to see all his boys here in his backyard and 2. to rip J-Busta a new ass when he gets his hands on him later on. J-Busta works up the nerve to enter the ring and go face-to-face with Batts, only to get PUSHED THE FUCK DOWNNNNNNN like the bitch he is! J-Busta retreats back to the locker room and we’ve got ourselves a match for next week’s show, but damnit, I don’t wanna have to wait to see it. I SO have a new favorite mic worker. - Another ad for tomorrow’s CCW show airs. - Cut back to live action, as the ring announcer introduces Nikki Roxx. Next is Ariel, and lastly, April Hunter. The commentators put over April’s past experience as a WWE fitness model and now girl. Jeff Hanson will serve as the ref for this match. Non-Elimination Triple-Threat Women’s Match: NIKKI ROXX vs. ARIEL vs. APRIL HUNTER Nikki and April agree to team up against Ariel, who seems to be more than ready for the challenge. She attacks her two foes right away and nails a double noggin’ knocker, followed by a double lariat. After armdragging Roxx, Ariel knocks Hunter out of the ring with a Mongolian chop and Roxx out with a running dropkick. April takes control, though, by driving Ariel’s throat into the ropes with a jawbreaker off of the apron. Roxx comes in and nails a standing Samoan drop for 2 before Hunter joins her for a double-team snapmare. An elbow drop by Roxx and a double-team wishbone split put Ariel at bay, but she’s able to escape Roxx’s pin at 2. Her attempted comeback is fought off with a choke by Hunter, who convinces ref Hanson to let her retain the illegal hold by rubbing his face into her breasts, and he seems to like it. A camel clutch (Roxx)/cross-legged Boston crab (Hunter) combo weakens Ariel, and again her attempted comeback is ended abruptly, this time by a legsweep kick (Roxx)/martial arts face kick (Hunter) combo, which gets two consecutive 2 counts. The alliance between Roxx and Hunter finally ends (You knew it eventually would, right?) when Roxx is Irish whipped into Hunter, and then sent face-first into her groin area with a drop toehold. Hunter receives a Super Huracanrana, which gets a 2 count when Ariel re-enters after being dropkicked out of the ring. Roxx executes a snapmare and running ace crusher-style neck snap on Ariel for her own 2 count, after which April does a sweet submission where she climbs up onto Ariel’s shoulders, bridges backwards over the ring ropes, and grabs the apron for leverage, choking Ariel all the while. I’ve seen her man, Slyk Wagner Brown, do that move before. Upon releasing the hold, though, Hunter turns around into a Flying Crossbody Block from Roxx, which gets a 2 count when Ariel saves. Hunter is tossed out to ringside and Ariel hits a Stunner on Roxx, only to have the blonde bombshell come back with a sweet Fisherman’s Suplex for a 2 count. Roxx now argues with April, who is on the apron, and in a really cool move, Hunter grabs Roxx and snapmares her over the ring ropes and out to ringside. Hunter then re-enters the ring by doing a catapult roll over Ariel’s back, and then German Suplexes Ariel for the 3 count when she attempts to do a wheelbarrow bounceup. Well, actually, it wasn’t a 3 count, but they pretend it was anyway. Hunter’s music hits and she celebrates. WINNER: April Hunter (via pinfall over Nikki Roxx) - Another CCW Revolution ad. - And now it’s time for our main event. This should be some good shit. Former-WWF dark match sensation and ROH one-timer “Latin Fury” Luis Ortiz comes out to the ring to the tunes of Linkin Park’s One Step Closer, and he’s followed by “Debonair” Damian Adams. “Latin Fury” LUIS ORTIZ vs. “Debonair” DAMIAN ADAMS We start with Ortiz forcing Adams into the corner, before breaking cleanly. A second tieup sees Adams duck Ortiz’ grapple attempt and apply a waistlock, after which each guy gets their own judo armdrag throw into a grounded armbar. After that sequence dies down, Ortiz slows the pace with a pendulum-style rocking horse submission, but Adams comes back with a nice-looking fireman’s carry takeover. Some more armbar variations are traded before Adams locks on a grounded headscissors. Ortiz absorbs the pain of that hold and eventually reverses it into a camel clutch/stepover toehold combo, but Adams gets another judo-style armdrag. Following a few more speedy armbar exchanges, a roperun sequence ensues, with Adams being pushed into the ropes and getting shoulderblocked down. They do the typical dropdown/leapfrog sequence, with Adams doing the latter. Ortiz reverses a hiptoss attempt into one of his own, but gets an armdrag in return for his troubles. At this point, they start bringing some really sweet psychology to the table, as Adams consistently attempts to weaken Ortiz with a grounded armbar, and each time Ortiz escapes, avoids, fights off, or ducks his offense, Adams reverts right back to the armbar. It’s an absolute beauty when you have two guys who know when to go all out with spots and know when to hang low and work a mat-oriented style. It looks as if these are two of those guys. Eventually, Adams receives a cross-corner whip and tips up, but Ortiz stops short and looks for a backdrop suplex, only for Adams to land on his feet nail an armdrag. Ortiz absorbs an armringer before suddenly using a nice leverage move to forcefully whip Adams into the ringpost, thereby finally acquiring a distinct advantage. After choking Adams with the rope and delivering a snapmare, Ortiz gives him some of his own submission-oriented medicine with a rear chinlock. Adams fights to his feet and escapes, but in a beautiful sequence, Ortiz catches Adams in mid-punch and executes a Jujigatame (Cross-Armbreaker) Takedown! However, Adams rolls through the hold and ends up back on his feet, but Ortiz has him scouted well and utilizes a forward Russian leg sweep-style cradle, which he transitions into a grounded headscissors/crucifix-style armbar combo (picture B-Boy’s Orange County Stretch, if you’ve ever seen it)! This submission work here is absolutely dynamite, and I gotta say this – Ortiz is a considerably large guy, and he’s moving around extremely quickly here. Very impressive workrate from both of these two. Ortiz eventually releases the hold and tosses Adams out to ringside, and a few moments later grabs the ropes to avoid being pulled downward into Adam’s sunset flip pin. Adams tries to fight back by avoiding a dropkick attempt and looking for the Debonair Deathlock (Sharpshooter), but Ortiz is still too fresh and kicks him off, before nailing a back elbow for a 2 count. A rear chinlock slows down things for bit, until Adams fights back to his feet and escapes, only to charge into a big boot. Following a bodyslam, Ortiz does an awesome move where he’s standing on the top turnbuckle while facing Adams, and then jumps up and – in midair – turns 90º and executes a Splitlegged Moonsault! Now, tell me that doesn’t sound cool. There’s one problem with it, though – nobody’s home. Both guys take a breather before fighting back to their feet, from which position Adams absorbs an elbow smash on a corner charge and catches a charging Ortiz with a Belly-to-Belly Overhead Suplex! That’s followed by a backdrop suplex and a schoolboy takedown, which set up for the DEBONAIR DEATHLOCK~!, and this time Adams is able to apply it fully. Ortiz is really close to the ropes, though, so he has little problem grabbing them and breaking the hold within a few seconds. After nailing a stiff forearm, Ortiz unloads with a second moonsault variation, this one an Arabian Moonsault (Rope Slingshot Moonsault Splash), as he takes a page out of Sabu’s playbook and gets a 2 count from that strategy. Adams makes a comeback by legsweep kicking a charging Ortiz, causing “Latin Fury” to do a pseudo shooting star press-style bump into the ringpost, complete with a sweet selljob. Adams takes the opportunity to climb up top, only for Ortiz to push the ref into the ropes and crotch Adams. Ortiz’ first Death Valley Driver is escaped, but Adams falls victim to the second attempt, allowing Ortiz to nab the pin and end a great wrestling match. WINNER: Luis Ortiz (via pinfall) - Another CCW Revolution ad. - We cut to the backstage area, where Ortiz is standing with interviewer Chris DeJoseph. Ortiz is asked what’s going through his mind, and since this is one of the few backstage promos that NEPW TV shows and also because it’s so short, I’ll transcribe it: “That’s right. Over Damian Adams. And it’s gonna be over every athlete in CCW, because I said it from the beginning – I’m here to become the CCW Heavyweight Champion. And God almighty, the devil is now here in CCW. Damien Adams found out why I am ‘Latin Fury’ Luis Ortiz, why you enter, at your own risk and you leave with some help. So, for every CCW superstar, get ready ‘cuz the apocalypse has come, and his name is ‘Latin Fury’ [aggressive huff] Luis Ortiz.” - A still photo of Joe Strongbow – who viewers saw make an appearance on last week’s show – is shown as a background image to the show’s credits. You can reach New England Pro Wrestling TV at [email protected], and if you want more of Jeff “The Hungryman” Harris, visit TheHungryMan.com. Next week’s show will feature more matches from CCW WrestleJam: - tag team action featuring indy sensations All Money Is Legal (Kash & Kaos) - A battle royal with the winner getting the opportunity to pick which CCW title he wants a shot at - the heated showdown between Mikey Batts and J-Busta, as Batts makes his emotional homecoming to Connecticut - and more! I’ll see you all next week (pending I don’t wake up too late) with another edition of New England Pro Wrestling TV. Feedback regarding this recap can be sent to [email protected]. Also, expect soon a review of CCW Father's Day Bash '94, featuring the most infamous chairshot in the history of professional wrestling as Sabu kills JR Benson. Also featuring the wrestling debut of Spike Dudley.

Kane's Inverted Suplex at Over the Edge '99 and D'Lo Brown's Catapult Corner Quebrada on the same PPV. Also - seeing Tony DeVito do a moonsault in ROH. It was the first time I saw him do the move. I'll post more as I think of them.

Sabu. I'd ask him what his first sexual experience was like.

So whose everyone picking to win? I'll go with Corp. If he doesn't win, then Pondo's my pick.

Sonjay/Sabu vs. Team Canada could be good. Let's hope it's Petey & Bobby Rude. Petey vs. Sonjay would rule, if they let them actually do what they can do. Rest of the card looks MEH'ish, besides Kash and Styles, which I do like the sound of.

From the IWAMidSouthWrestling.com board: "Currently @ 1st intermission. No tournement matches have taken place yet. Danny Daniels & B.J. Whitmer over Matt Sydal & Delirious, when Delirious turned on Sydal. C.M. Punk over Ray Gordy. Chris Hero over. Arik Cannon by submission." Looks OK so far...

Ahhh, OK. Well Sandman, still take that feedback for what it's worth, then. I generally look forward to your reviews, as I said, so I just clicked on the link right when I saw it and started reading it.

I don't really like your style as of late, too much. I enjoyed the IWS, PWG, and older CZW and IWA-MS reviews, and the BSB, Cabana, and Messiah best of reviews, but the latest ones (this, the other IWA-MS review, etc.) seem to have too little substance for me. For one thing, you're not very consistent. You list the highlights of the three-way tag team match, but then do general recaps of all the other matches, with from what they sound like have just as many spots as that match had. Work on getting a consistent recapping style down. As I said, I enjoyed your older reviews better. And also, coding/formatting is your friend. Like maybe do italics for the match stip (i.e. Heavyweight Title match) and leave bold for the participants, but doing two or three straight lines of pure bolding is annoying. Or maybe capitalize the names of the participants. Just vary it and see what works best, but as of now, the coding leaves a fair amount to be desired, although it is good to see that you used some. I do like the criteria you use to judge the matches. A quick addressing about one thing - I'm sure some people still hold it against him, but generally the CZW locker room has no heat with Pain anymore, and only a select few ever did when he left. Hell, Zandig was trying to bring him back. Rebels had positive words about him. Time has healed the wounds pretty well. I'm sure when he jumped a lot of people hated him for it, and from what I understand he had a lot of heat in the months leading up to his jump, but if that's the case, whose to blame him for leaving a locker room in which he was hated? I'd do the same damn thing.

http://nwatna.com/multimedia/live/2004/06/...l1/gallery.html I was looking at some of the pictures from the recent PPVs, and saw the fourth pic in the fourth row. That's Konnan on the right, correct? (Looks like he's impersonating Mustafa Saed, LOL) What's the story? I thought he stopped working for TNA because he was going to be getting a WWE job? I could've sworn he make his last appearance for TNA like four weeks ago or something, and was then gonna stop working for them because he was trying to get a job with WWE and probably wouldn't get it if he was working fora nother major company. But that photo is from just two weeks ago. Is he still with TNA full-time? What's up with the WWE gig? Is he gonna get it?

http://www.rfvideo.com/merchant/index.cfm?...oreinfo&id=3324 I'm debating whether or not to buy it. I've wanted to get it for awhile and am thinking that I might. It sounds really rare and unique, from the description on the RF Video site. Has anyone seen it? Is the video quality good? Is it true like RF says that the camera gets a good view of the action throughout the entire tape? Is it really true that Sabu makes a speech dedicated to Funk? I gotta see that, if it is. As far as the stories that the wrestlers apparently tell, is it anything that I probably wouldn't already know, or is it lots of never before heard stuff? And does anyone know what matches are on it, because it says that there are some "classic" matches included? And how long is the tape? Somewhat often the RF site will give a running time, but they don't do that for this tape. Does it last for a fair amount of time? Thanks so much in advance to anyone who can help. I'd really appreciate a quick review of the tape.

Jeez...talk about sucking TNA's dick. It's like 1W is writing an official press release for TNA. Oyyyy...

http://www.cswfol.com/multimedia/videos More proof that Julio rules. CLASSIC STUFF~! Bill Apter, Mike Tenay, and Al Snow also make appearances.

Damn.

So, Rebel did debut...interesting...if he worked for ROH, it's pretty much guaranteed that RF is out of the mix and has no influence, because Rebel NEVER would've associated himself with ROH unless RF had no relation to them anymore. He HATES RF.

The guy you never heard've is Jerelle Clarke, a.k.a. The Master of the 630 Senton. Mikey Batts is Billy Kidman's cousin in real life, and was trained by Kidman. I saw him work a few months ago in Connecticut (where he grew up before moving to FL) and he's a very solid wrestler. Kidman occasionally comes to NWA-FL shows and hangs out with him backstage. I doubt TNA...hell, WWE...would let him do that for Impact, though. Nosawa was Miyamoto and Kazarian's partner.

Thanks for posting. I'm happy to see he at least addressed it. I don't really have much of an opinion on it (I'll probably chime in with some witty remark once this thread reaches like 5 pages or something, LOL), but I enjoyed reading it and seeing him address it, so again - thanks for posting it.

D'Lo Brown vs. Mark Henry at I believe Unforgiven '99...whatever the show right after SummerSlam was. Henry pulled out some moves I didn't expect from him. It came off quite well, and did a good job of building off of Henry's heel turn at SS.

Who IS NOT related to WWE female superstar Victoria, contrary to rumors that state otherwise. P.S. - DC Maximo, I read the MAW Hardcore Cup review a few days ago. It's really good. You should do more indy reviews for IWA-MS.

No way. That's just the only one I know of. They have TONS more, obviously. Tenay just mentioned that guy's name during the AMW-XXX Cage Match. Thanks to both of those additions. I'll be sure to add them in the next update. Are you sure Bill Banks is a trainer? Does he even know how to wrestle? I thought he was just strictly a backstage guy? Ya, really recently he became one. Like within the last month, I remember one of the big sites reporting it. Please - any more additions let me know of. I want to make this as comprehensive a list as possible. Any names I've forgotten - past or present? Any other jobs that a particular guy has that I didn't list? Also, I guess I'll plug it here - in the next week and a half, expect an indepth article on the Raven-Sabu feud. I'm talking really comprehensive. Why haven't they wrestled before yet? Were they ever scheduled to wrestle each other and the match was cancelled? Did they ever tag team together? What does TNA have to do to make this feud work? More importantly, what does each wrestler have to do to make sure it works? Why is it such an intriguing feud? And perhaps most importantly - does each guy still have it in them to deliver, when they're on the verge of turning 40? All that and more. Coming soon.

She tried to rape him...I mean...get raped by him...I mean...dawp!
