Yup, he wasn't a wrestler at all. He said he was trained by Killer Kowalski, which was a load of bull. I asked New Jack about the incident at a show and to my surprise, he didn't blow up and beat the hell out of me. Instead, he was pretty cool, and said that they had every intention to make an angle out of the incident until Kulas went to the police.

Mankind: who just recently had a match in Japan with TOSHIAKI KAWADA.

My uncle shook Clinton's hand once, and said he washed his hands multiple times since. This was during the height of the Lewinsky scandal.

Sweet, sounds great. Thanks again for doing this.

At a Maximum Pro Wrestling show last night in Florida, Missy Hyatt showed up looking like she was on some kind of drugs, apparently. The promoter was was saying that she wasn't booked, but she was yelling out in a drunken manner that Jasmin St. Claire had booked her, so she had the right to be there. New Jack told MXPW management that she was here and that she better get the heck out, and then told her to get the hell out because she wasn't booked, which isn't surprising, since those two have no love loss for one another. Apparently, Jack also told her that she couldn't draw fans if she was "a pile of sh*t." MXPW officials told her to leave because there was no way she was working the show when New Jack was on it, because something would happen between them. She refused to leave, so three cops came, brought her out of the building, handcuffed her, and drove her away in a police car. Apparently, she was charged with disorderly conduct and public intoxication. CREDIT: compiled from various posts on the DeclarationOfIndependents.net message board

It's one of the best cruiserweight matches ever, worldwide. Was rated WCW's match of the year for '97. It's on the Rey Mysterio DVD that was released awhile back. Definitely a must see.

"2 Cocky" Kevin Matthews will work a dark match for NWA-TNA on the June 9 show. He's worked for TNA a few times before. He's one of the veterans of the sport and has been around several years, but has just started getting a lot of bookings as of late. He has an official site somewhere I know. More info on him can be found at DOIWrestling.com.

Dude, this is EXACTLY what I was going to say, word for word. And then I happen to see your post.

Norman's dark match has been confirmed, and will take place either on June 21 or June 22 in Florida. Norman's also scheduled to work on a wrestling show in Egypt in a few months.

http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/8707816.htm?1c A wrestler fights to recapture glory A professional wrestler from Pembroke Pines who was once a pay-per-view star now plies his trade on the independent circuit, but he still dreams of the big time. BY NICHOLAS SPANGLER [email protected] Norman Smiley is a professional wrestler. For 18 years he has made his living portraying a sniveling coward and sadistic abuser. In his glory days you might have seen him on television: Monday Nitro and Thursday Thunder, innumerable pay-per-views that appeared under the imprimatur of the World Championship Wrestling Federation in the late '90s. He was world champion, in Mexico; he fought before thousands in Japan. He was good enough for a six-figure contract. But WCW went out of business and the contract didn't pay. He didn't walk away. He couldn't. He hit the independent circuits in Mexico and Florida, fought weekend bouts in clubs and auditoriums. He was the headliner a few weeks ago at the Milander Park Recreational Center in Hialeah. His fans, those who once hated him dearly, those who remembered, were waiting outside. Smiley lifted a gallon jug of water and a stainless steel suitcase from the trunk of his white Cadillac and then they saw him. ``Hey, man, I caught you on cable the other night.'' 'You still makin' the rounds, huh?'' They talked American. ''Getting older,'' Smiley replied, in British. ``Yeah, everyone is. Rounder, too.'' Smiley signed a couple autographs and walked into the rec center. It was cool and dark except for the lights over the ring. The other wrestlers were there, and the girl who would sing the national anthem. Smiley said hi and walked into the bathroom to settle up with the promoter in privacy. He'd earn in the low four figures for the night. Smiley is 39. He was born in England, raised in Miami Beach, wrestled on the Miami Beach Senior High team in 1983, never went to college, never had a career besides wrestling. He lives in comfort in a big house in a gated community in Pembroke Pines, keeps a neat yard watered nightly by automatic sprinklers. He saved his money over the years, but he still needs to work. People think you're a millionaire if you've been on television; people think you rake it in like The Rock. People don't know. Smiley took a table on the edge of the room and opened the briefcase. He removed dozens of photographs: Smiley in agony, Smiley imparting agony, Smiley smiling with celebrities. There'd be a little money on the side if they sold. The doors were opened. Enter the fans: shaggy-haired boys, stringy girls in tight jeans, crew-cut dads, they walked past or browsed, curious. Some of the adults bought photographs. Some of the kids pawed through but didn't ask their dads for money. Smiley autographed a few and gave them away to the kids for free. The girl who'd been practicing sang the national anthem and a catchy dance number and the wrestling began: hours of grandiloquent and absurd violence committed by muscled wraiths, decadent fat tubs. A night of violence. Of slams and flying kicks, blows to the head with chairs. Of illegal choking unseen by a ref distracted at a crucial moment by not one but two buxom preening ring girls. Of dastardly kicks to the groin, broken alliances, heroic kick-outs. No prim silence in this theater, no fourth wall here: full, throaty, honest audience participation. ``I seen more muscles on a baby!'' ``That's what you get!'' Smiley's opponent was Ryan ''Payne'' O'Reilley, an angry boastful Irishman with drunk leprechauns tattooed on his biceps who bore little resemblance to the real-life 24-year-old construction worker named Ryan Parmeter. O'Reilley insulted the crowd and Smiley encouraged the kids to stay in school. He said the girl who'd sang the anthem had the voice of an angel. After 18 villainous years, Smiley was tonight playing the bold and honest baby-face. Smiley's head was driven into the floor by the leering savage, this man without honor. His face was slammed against a metal fence. His wrist was twisted and yanked, and he was nearly pinned a number of times. The comeback -- last-minute and against all odds -- is a crucial feature of the pro match, and Smiley made his. He left victorious and caught an afternoon flight to Mexico City the next day for a week of bouts in the provincial towns. Smiley wants to get back into the big time, and his chance is coming. World Wrestling Entertainment -- the federation with most of the television contracts, the stars and the money today -- comes to Miami in June. Smiley fights on the undercard. It's a tryout, he said one night, back from his travels. ``I've learned you can never say never, but this will be the fourth time I've tried. If they haven't accepted me up to this point. . .'' To put life in wrestling terms: The ref has started the count -- this could be the end, folks. But the veteran has come back from behind so many times before. Can he do it just once more? Heck of a match, folks, too close to call. Credit to DAREALGUMMY for hooking me up with this story. I remember shortly after WCW was bought by WWE, Norman sent an e-mail to WWE about possibly getting a shot there, and was told that they didn't have a spot for him. Maybe that's changed now? So, could we be seeing the Big Wiggle on WWE TV sometime soon?

3PW lists Sabu vs. Ruckus as taking place on their June 19 show at Viking/Alhambra Hall in Philly, but according to USA Pro owner Frank Goodman, Sabu told him that the USA Pro show that day is the ONLY show he's working on June 19. Goodman's comment can be found at http://usapro.addr.com/Forums/showthread.php?threadid=1926. 3PW is still promoting the match, though, on their web site at http://3pwrestling.com/events.htm . So, do you think it's a case of miscommunication between 3PW and Sabu, of false promotion, an angle that's being planned, or what? Either way, it appears Sabu ain't working for 3PW that day...

The Chemical Imbalance I is a 360 Degree Slam. Not sure how else to describe it. The Chemical Imbalance II - there's two ways to describe it: Inverted Pumphandle Lift into Inverted Storm Cradle Piledriver or Armlock Storm Cradle Piledriver. Ric Blade used to do a variation of it.

Someone else who says they were at the show and has always been very reliable is now saying that the whole thing was bull, and nobody got arrested. So, I don't know what's going on, because I know for a fact Sean McCaffrey - the webmaster of DOI - had contacted some officials about the incident. So, I don't know anymore. Several people said it happened, including Sean, so I'm really confused now.

I downloaded Adobe Premiere 6.0 (maybe it was 6.5, I forget) off of Kazaa and am trying to install it, but I have to enter a valid "Serial Number." I try typing in a bunch of random numbers, but it keeps saying it has to be valid. Any idea what I should do? Is there a certain number of digits that I should type in, or do I have to put "-"'s after a certain amount of numbers? Any help? Thanks in advance. EDIT: Got past the option somehow. Nevermind. A mod can delete this thread if they want.

Ya. It turns out there was a notepad document that came with it that gave a Security number to type in. It turns out Adobe only works for clips in MOV or WAV format. Does anyone know if there's any program that one can download where you can make music videos using WMV clips, other than Windows Media Player, because that requires Windows XP, which I don't have?

Hey, your loss. Nobody in their right mind would pass up Tanaka, either, including me, but you can't get what Sabu does from any other indy wrestler out there, and in a year or so, you're not gonna get to see Sabu anymore, so you might as well see him while you still can, unless you've already seen him live.

Seeing battle scars like that up close and personal...it doesn't get anymore real than that, when it comes to pro wrestling.

Anybody in their right mind. It's an experience like few others, seeing that guy work live.

According to Goodman, though, Sabu ain't working 3PW. USA Pro is the only show he's working that day. That's what Goodman says. Whether he's lying, I can't testify to that, but from what he's saying, it doesn't sound as if Sabu is one of those people also working the 3PW show.

Seth Skyfire. He works in OVW. He had a one shot appearance in Ring of Honor against Mike Mondo (no relation to CZW's Nick Mondo).

Cena's a decent wrestler, but to even put him in the same sentence as Eddie G. is insulting...He's INCREDIBLY charismatic, just like Eddy, but as far as wrestling, nah. I'll give you this - Cena is one of the TOUGHEST individuals out there. I can't BELIEVE he returned so quickly from the Royal Rumble injury, but that doesn't make him a great WRESTLER. He's got some very cool moves, but as far as mat wrestling, he's not overly impressive.

No. Never.

Childless couple told to try sex A German couple who went to a fertility clinic after eight years of marriage have found out why they are still childless - they weren't having sex. The University Clinic of Lubek said they had never heard of a case like it after examining the couple who went to see them last month for fertility tests. Doctors subjected them to a series of examinations and found they were both apparently fertile, and should have had no trouble conceiving. A clinic spokesman said: "When we asked them how often they had had sex, they looked blank, and said: "What do you mean?". "We are not talking retarded people here, but a couple who were brought up in a religious environment who were simply unaware, after eight years of marriage, of the physical requirements necessary to procreate." The 30-year-old wife and her 36-year-old husband are now being given sex therapy lessons while the university clinic undertakes a study to try to find out if there are more couples with a similar lack of sex education. http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_95794...uirkies.sexlife

Sounds like it may be his tornado flatliner (like a flying version of Kazarian's Wave of the Future) then.
