The Jeff Peterson Memorial Cup Tourney was in production for almost a year, as opposed to mere months, and it was just recently released, when it happened in early '03. Anyway, I know what you're sayin, man. It is is unfortunate that XPW's taking so long to produce their tapes, because their Philly stuff, whether you like the promotion or not, was very good. But I guess at least be happy they're gonna release that stuff. It's not every day you get to see MMW work the younger talents the indy circuit has to offer (besides in Rev. Pro, where they also do, and in their LXW match; but besides that, in Mexico, they mainly work the vets), see Jonny f'n Strom in the US, see and stuff like that. Once you wade through their shit, XPW had some quality stuff. It is too bad they don't release everything sooner, though.

Meh. Raven's feuding w/ Sandman, so I doubt that'd happen. I'll go with "Hottstuff" Striker - who's getting insanely over with this heel act, which can only be helped by two vets like Meanie and Richards - and Monsta Mack, who Meanie worked in a tag team match last night.

Someone on the otherarena.com board mentioned this idea...book TS vs. Venis/Storm. I agree - it'd be better than vs. Jindrak/Cade or the Dudleyz. Let's hope they book them.

Courtesy of Kris Z's newsletter: There is talk that Turmeric Storm (Tomoaki Honma & Kazushi Miyamoto) may get a dark match on the WWE RAW tapings next Monday night in San Antonio, Texas. TS will be there with Arashi, Kaz Hayashi, Satoshi Kojima, & Keiji Muto, as they will be working in San Antonio the day before for River City Wrestling. Tonight, though, the AJPW stars will be in Philly for the Ring of Honor Final Battle 203 megacard.

A question I've been pondering the answer of for awhile...I avidly await any responses to it. Let me say this, though...I do remember reading like two years ago that McMahon purposefully let out some false info about wanting to rehire Lawler (which he eventually did) in order to find out who was leaking info to the media. I don't know if this was true or not, but I did read it on the net. Take it for what it's worth.

Granted, I haven't watched it in a couple of months, but from what I remember, Acid vs. Ruckus at COD3 wasn't anything that special...I guess I'll have to watch it again sometime soon and update my impression of it.

No. A shouldermount is the start of an Electric Chair Drop. It's a reverse powerbomb holds, the position Nick Mondo's Assault Driver begins in. Emerald Frosion has nothing to do with a Shoulder Mount. The only role the shoulder plays is that sometimes you may clutch the guy by the side of his head and by the waist, so the hand on the side of his head I guess may happen to touch the shoulder a bit, but besides that, it has nothing to do with the shoulder...actually, let me correct that (I'm too lazy to take my hands off the keyboard, highlight the above sentence, and edit it, LOL) - the other role the shoulder plays in an Emerald Frosion/Fusion is that the pressure is on the shoulder and back of the head, because that's what the victim lands on. Other than that and the other role I mentioned above, though, the shoulder isn't really a part of the Emerald F. MD1 = Sitout Front Inverted Suplex, anotherwards apply an Inverted Facelock, lift foe up for Inverted Suplex, then slam him forward so that he lands on his back, and in the process the executer sits out. a.k.a. it ends in the position of a Falcon Arrow, but it starts as an Inverted Suplex, as opposed to a Standard Suplex. Same thing as the "Thrillseeker" move (as Gargiulo called it...don't know why it had a move when it was only used once) that CZW's Ruckus once did on one of the masked Briscoes and I don't think ever used again.

The Island Driver is the same thing as an Emerald Frosion/Fusion. He sometimes makes it a running version, and it's usually a headspike version, as opposed to the more safely executed Dreamer Driver of Tommy Dreamer when he was in ECW. It's basically a stiff version of that or Bam Bam Bigelow's Greetings from Asbury Park. Broken Wing, you got any more videos of Joe? If so, can you link me? I'd be interested in DLing them. Oh, and the Emerald Frosion/Fusion = a Side Michinoku Driver II a.k.a. a Sitdown Side Bodyslam Piledriver.

We're in desparate need of more shit like that on RAW.

Just obtained a LOT of never-be4-seen pics of the never-be4-seen Sabu Invitational House Show, both backstage photos and in-ring photos. See Pogo the Clown...eating something! Rizzono...with a fanny pack! Sabu and Lazie...signing an autograph! Kraq...with his back to the camera walking backstage! Jimmy...looking wierd, but not really Homeless! And so much more! Actually, you can find the photos with absolutely no problem because they're online, but the odds of you finding the site are like one in a million...let's just say I got REALLY lucky and searched for the exact right words on the exact right search engine and clicked the exact right link. This, and so much more shit. - Johnny Webb speaks - GQ Money continues speaking - An 80-something year old Verne Langdon speaks on training Messiah, Angel, D, Carlito, and others. And on meeting Kleinrock before he was anybody. - photos of Kid Kaos looking like he's a kid, when he's really like 17 - and more IT'S COMING...

Over the past nine months, I’ve been fortunate enough to receive a number of opportunities to chat with former-independent wrestling managerial luminary “Devilish” Lee Handsome a.k.a. GQ Money. Until March of this year, GQ had been employed for more than two years by the ever so controversial XPW (Xtreme Professional Wrestling) promotion in Southern California. In XPW, GQ gained nationwide publicity as one of the most charismatic managers on the US indy wrestling circuit. He was the mouthpiece of XPW’s memorable “Enterprise” faction, with whom he has worked among an impressive entourage of pro wrestling superstars, including The Sandman, Shane Douglas, Chris Hamrick, Danny Doring, New Jack, Bill Alfonso, UK sensation “Wonderkid” Jonny Storm, and Sean “Syxx-Pac/X-Pac” Waltman. However, GQ didn’t just play a fundamental role in XPW in its ring; rather, he worked behind-the-scenes for much of his tenure with both XPW and it’s parent company, adult entertainment corporation Extreme Associates. As an employee at E.A., he directed a number of adult films and interacted on a daily basis with two of the most controversial figures in the realm of pro wrestling – Rob Black and Lizzy Borden, who were indicted on federal obscenity charges earlier this year. As a vital member of the backstage team of XPW and E.A., GQ was introduced first-hand to a number of the most discussed incidents on the US indy circuit in recent years, including XPW’s controversies with other federations such as EPIC, ROH, and CZW, its fallout with New Jack, and the much-talked-about Chihuahua/snake incident. Since leaving XPW, GQ has toured the US indy circuit, working with the likes of The Messiah, Christopher Daniels, and Scott Hudson in promotions such as NWA-TNA. GQ was remarkably candid during the many interview sessions he had with myself. We discussed a vast variety of topics that cover his whole career, ranging from his childhood as a pro wrestling fan to breaking into the business as a wrestler to performing as a manager in XPW and other promotions. Many of the subjects that GQ discusses have yet to be talked about by XPW officials, and I wouldn’t be exaggerating in stating that the depth of our conversations are comparable to RF Video’s acclaimed “shoot” interviews, which is why I will be posting our dialogues in segments, rather than in whole. The fragments of this interview will compound a much larger project that I am in the process of constructing, one that explores the controversial history of XPW. Granted – in the end, XPW failed, and eventually folded in 2003. However, during its existence, it produced possibly the most avid debate the world of US indy wrestling has recently witnessed. It all started with a pornography mogul named Rob Black. Along the way, names such as Tracy Smothers, Sabu, The Sandman, Shane Douglas, Chris Candido, Jerry Lynn, Juventud Guerrera, and Abdullah the Butcher worked for the promotion. XPW at one point had a nationwide TV deal with America One and it’s home videos were distributed nationwide before those of ECW were. Even with all of these advantages, XPW eventually shut down, but not even it’s bankruptcy has curtailed the mutterings about it. In the next eight months, learn about the formation, the rise, and the ultimate fall of a promotion that at one point had everything going for it. From the beginnings of Rob Black to his friendship with ECW’s Paul Heyman, from the formation of XPW to the signings of stars such as Sabu, Shane Douglas, and Chris Candido, from the interpromotional agreements with ECW and FMW to the TV deals with America One, KJLA, and WGTW, from the creations of indy stars like The Messiah, “The Rock Superstar” Kaos, and “The Hardcore Homo” Supreme to the controversies of Supreme’s injury, Vic Grimes’ 40 foot fall, and the New Year’s Revolution 2 scandal, from the invasion of Philadelphia to the eventual folding – it, and so much more – is all here…“Five Years Later – The Roots, The History, and The Controversy of Rob Black’s XPW.” Featuring – insightful contributions from XPW alumni such as GQ Money and Johnny Webb; never-before-seen, pre-XPW photos of the XPW stars such as The Messiah, Kaos, Supreme, and Angel; and a great deal more. And now…part one of my interview with former-XPW worker GQ Money, known to some as “Devilish” Lee Handsome… This section of the interview was conducted on March 29, 2003 by LucharesuFan619. ME: Firstly, the obvious question - how did you get involved in the pro wrestling business as more than just a fan? GQ: When I was in college, I always wanted to be a game show host. Well, I always wanted to be in pro wrestling, but I was real small, so that's why I wanted to be a game show host. Well, my roommates were really interested in wrestling like me, and it resparked my passion I started hosting my own talk show on the radio station there and that got me into interviewing various stars, indy guys, promoters and what not. Well, one day, I had these guests on my show who were training people, and then sending them down to Steve Keirn's School of Hard Knox. Steve's school was down in Florida, but we were in Colorado. Well, the two guys got me kicked off the air because they were swearing, and they felt real bad, so they offered me a free tryout. I did great, I loved it, and then they called me with an idea. They said, "Hey, we can train the guys real well, but with your mouth, we may be able to start an indy fed. Are you interested?" I was VERY interested, and we started a school and indy. And that's how I got involved. ME: I read that you worked with Smokey Charmichael - who worked at Hostile Takeover - while wrestling in Colorado, long before he was in XPW. How did you meet him and what was he like? GQ: Smokey is one of my best friends in the whole business, as we both got our starts together. We used to be tag team partners and our team was known as "Ringside-Dreems." I was a much better wrestler back then because of the fact that I trained so much. I mean, Smokey and I would wrestle with each other at least four times a week for like a few hours at a time, I used to kickbox twice a week, and we hit the weights three times a week, so we were in great shape...and together, we could go! The name "Smokey Carmichael" actually comes from way back then when we were being considered to be part of "The Family," which was one of the promotion's big factions. Being part of the Family, he dawned the name "Smokey Charmichael," and I was temporarily known as "Shorty Smalls." The Family was headed by one of my trainers and former-World Kickboxing Champ Dan Magnus, who also was involved in training current WWE developmental wrestler Nikita (who's down in OVW). ME: So, who were some of the big-name guests you had on your radio show? GQ: Chris Candido and Mick "Mankind" Foley were my biggest. The Foley one was the day before WrestleMania when he faced The Big Show. That was a fun WrestleMania. Me and my friends used to go to Target and buy the biggest TV they had just for WrestleMania…and then after, return the TV, because you get like 90 days to return it with a receipt. That was our yearly WrestleMania tradition. Bar-B-Q, keg of beer, big TV from Target, and WrestleMania. GQ Money does not condone underage drinking. Please don't drink and drive. ;-) ME: You met former-WCW manager Sonny Onoo and had a fallout with him. What happened between you two and why did you dislike him? GQ: Now when I look back at it, I guess the answer may have been jealousy, but truth is, once he got involved with my business partner, things for me and my business got bad. He seemed sneaky to me, or at least I thought my partner was feeding him bullshit info about me, and that pissed me off. My heat with him is more comical, exaggerated and played up for the sake of controversy, just as is the heat I "have" with a lot of other wrestlers. ME: When did your first contact with XPW come? GQ: I think it was November-ish of 2000. In August, I was ready to move on and leave Colorado. I went to our show, and shit was chaotic. Everybody and their friends were in their cliques and factions...Everybody was getting everybody else to watch their backs. I was scheduled to work my business partner in a match that had heat from the start of our existence, and before the match I told my partner this would be my last show. He didn't want to do the match, and I was like, "No, we'll do it, because we advertised it, and we're professionals." We did the match; he wasn't really on, and I went out, and it was over. That show had around 1,200 people at it. The next show, which I (nor some friends) wasn’t a part of had about 165. After I left, a lot of the roster left. It was no longer the same vibe as when we started, so a lot of the guys thought it was time to move on, two of which were TJ Rush and The Giant (the guy who attacked Messiah at The Night XPW Stood Still). Buddah Doobie, and Dreemer (Smokey Carmichael), and a bunch of other talented guys took off. The CWO (Central Wrestling Organization) was in disarray. Now, they eventually bounced back. They did a show with (Roddy) Piper headlining and had about 1,600 people, but sadly, they are no longer around. I think it finally folded in like 2001. I left in 2000. We had our string of success. We weren't big time by any means...and we weren't makin' much money...but we were all over. The newspapers, the radio, the TV - it was real cool. Our guys got recognized, and it was a real ego boost to all of us at the "start" of our careers. A couple of real good guys have come from down in my area, and I'm pretty sure you'll hear their names in the future. ME: Are there any other guys who worked for the fed who the guys reading this interview would know? GQ: My buddy Psycho Sarge has had a bunch of WWE dark matches and Velocity tapings. Same with Derek Corpse. Smokey's from down there. Psycho Sarge was working for Thatcher in Heartland. His name was always in the PWI rankings. Nikita – like I said – is down in OVW under developmental. You know Smokey. Corpse wrestled as Derek Selsould on some WWE matches. Sarge is still wrestling. ME: So, after the CWO folded, you began talks with XPW? GQ: Yeah...forgot that that was the point of the question... :-D When I left, I was looking for options, and XPW was one of the prospects. I sent packages to OVW, UPW and XPW. OVW never got back to me, and I made contact with both UPW and XPW. I set up a trip to go to California, so I could meet with both promotions, and check out both of their shows. And the trip became a monstrous headache. My car broke down in Utah...I had to get plane flights, rental cars, and I had like no money. So, I'm trying to call everyone I know to borrow money, and then figure out a way for my sister to deposit that money in my bank, so I could use my debit card. It was just a pain, but I did make it to LA. I saw UPW's show first. It was good - real cool - but something about it wasn't me. I was still interested, but I had a feeling it wasn't the one. The next day, I met with some of their workers, and various office people and I thought they were cool. They had a good vibe, good plans, and I was interested. Keep in mind – I was looking more for office/ behind-the-scenes work, where I would then figure out a way into a talent position. I was also looking for commentary work and we talked about the possibilities of me commentating the UPW TV show in the works. I was real interested, but here was the catch - it was all volunteer. Normally, I'd have no problem with that, but I was moving to Cali with no money, no place to live, no job, and I was supposed to be able to do like 20-30 hours of volunteer work. That was just not an option at the time. LA was just too expensive to live to be able to do that. So, I had my meetings with XPW. I head up to the office at like 5:00 PM (maybe it was 4:00), and was set to meet with Kevin (Kleinrock). I waited in the lobby forever. Kevin kept walking by one the phone, like, "One more minute. I'll be right there.” He was hella’ busy. I met (Homeless) Jimmy - who was real cool - and a lot of the students and ring crew guys. ME: Jimmy worked in the XPW offices, too, besides the in-ring work, right? GQ: Yeah, for a little while. Things were kind of unorganized (go figure), but finally I talked with Kevin. They were interested in using me, talks went well, and Kevin was like, "Come check out the show (this was MetalFest [late 2000]) tomorrow. You'll be on the guest list." I'm staying with my buddy, so him and I drive the two hours or so to go to the show. We get there...and we're not on the guest list. I would have bought a ticket, but my friend didn't want to, so we left. I took off, and I thought, “Nah, this isn't the company for me; I'm going to do UPW.” The next day, I went to Disneyland, and Kevin called me. He was apologetic – real nice and real cool. I wasn't really interested in XPW anymore. I wanted to work for UPW, but knew I needed to save some money to be able to live, and it was my intent to go back home to Colorado, pack up my stuff, and move back home with my parents in Chicago. I'd get back into wrestling some time... and then fate intervened. I was up in Aspen doing some skiing and my phone rang when I was on the chair. I was real down at the time. No home, no job, no money, a hell of a lot of credit card debt...and I was getting ready to move back home with my parents. So the phone rings and it was The Giant. I should say, "the 7-foot Stud," because that's what his old name was. Not the Big Show. We all just called him "The Giant," but I digress, so back to the story. Anyway, he must have pep talked me really good, because at the start of the conversation I wasn't interested and by the end I was like, "Alright, let's go make a run (in XPW)." So we drove to LA again. This time to check out New Year's Revolution. Giant met Kevin. I talked with Kevin and Rob. Things were cool. We get to the show and the shit was smokin'. I mean, it was totally off the hook. It was an awesome show and we knew that that was where we wanted to be. I'm sitting on the stands during the setup and Lizzy came up an introduced herself. She saw me (I was wearing a suit) and was like, "You must be GQ Money." That was the first I had heard of a gimmick, and that's when I knew I was in XPW.

- Messiah's two one-on-one matches w/ Pain - Briscoe vs. Briscoe (BOTB1) - the tag team match that featured Klein/Necro vs. Mondo/Wifebeater - Pain vs. Acid - Pain vs. Mondo from 2002 - Get some Jimmy Rave, Tony Mamaluke, and Nick Berk shit, too. Oh, and the NOI1 three-way dance. And shizzle my nizzle, co-kizzle...and like, now...

Where was Messiah? EDIT: Nevermind. Thanks to Bob McGee: "The main event was changed due to the fact that The Messiah, originally scheduled for the main event, ran into a problem at LA International Airport, due to what was likely the first wrestling related problem with the new terror alerts. Messiah's driver's license had expired, and since he did not have another valid form of ID, he was not permitted to board the place."

Alright, my bad. What do you mean by he "no sold" the streamers? Were the streamers wrapped in barbed-wire, lit on fire, or something?

I may've missed it and it may've been posted, but did anyone post this: "CM Punk and Colt Cabana defeated Tomoaki Honma and Kazushi Miyamoto after a Pepsi Plunge. Big Joe said it was a good tag team match." - redishero

Holy sh*t...I knew I should've made the f*ckin drive...somebody, punch me for not going (not Dave the Jour, though). It would've been six hours, but still...

This was NOT what I envisioned when making this thread.

Came across this while doing homework, believe it or not. Apparently, it's possible to two nights in a row (See my post on wrestling figurines that's also in this forum) be doing homework that has nothing to do with wrestling and come across something wrestling-related. It happened to me. I was searching for info on AIDS and Cancer and came across this at http://www.thetrenchcoat.com/archives/000737.html "I'm not back. I'm just here to let you know about Mike (Crash Holly) Lockwood's daughter. I've been in contact with his widow and she's given me the go ahead to relay the information for his daughter's education funds. Donations can be sent to... Christeena Lockwood 1145 Joy St. Salisbury, NC 28147 Checks can be made out to Christeena Lockwood and put Patty's Trust Fund in the memo. Please donate. She also told me there may be a memorial wrestling show sometime soon. I'll let you know the details as soon as I get them."

To get all of your minds off of this stupid flame war, I give you... somebody whose name I don't know

Then why use the quote, you could have just said " Acid-Dutt up next, whoever wins, my friend said it was very good" Ditto for the FOH Final. Letting opinion like that shine through in your posts is bad form Best US Wrestling Match of 2002 : Chris Benoit/Kurt Angle vs Rey Mysterio Jr/Edge Best US Wrestling Match of 2003 : Chris Benoit vs Kurt Angle Well, there's that argument sorted. Word from the wise Barber, if you only watch crap, youre expectations are gonna be low. Me? I only watch WWE (only Velocity and Heat and PPV's, occasional Raw) ROH and NJPW I still don't know what I did to piss you off B/c I stated at the beginning of when I posted the PBP that the comments were taken from the ROH board, and that the opinions were of Joe's. You can even check. WOW, you made a HALFWAY logical post. Granted, I probably don't want as much puro as you do, but I probably watch more indy stuff than you do. So you have a point, to a degree, but it doesn't really matter. Just because I haven't seen the latest Kobashi classic doesn't mean I can't judge a match. I'll repeat it - a match doesn't have to be technical to be great. Rey/Eddy from HH97 was full of highspots mainly, yet it's still classic. SAT/Red vs. Divine Storm/XL from CZW Take 1 is one of the best spotfests ever and it's considered a great match, even though it didn't have technical prowess galore. Granted, most great matches are technical, but you can have a great spotfest.

Am I not getting through to you? I NEVER SAID THAT ANY OF THOSE MATCHES WERE GOOD. I AM NOT AT THE RING OF HONOR SHOW THAT IS OCCURRING NOW. I TOOK THE OPINIONS THAT WERE PHONED IN FROM A GUY AT THE SHOW AND POSTED WHAT *HE* SAID ABOUT THE MATCHES. Good lord... I've never heard anything about Acid and Zandig beging related.

Everything doesn't have to be a technical classic to be a good match. On the Crazy Max boards, a guy did an indepth review that you can still find of the Acid vs. Sonjay match from One More Time (I think it was) in 2002 and explains why it was such a good match. Check it out. It does no good to crap on everything. Wrestling has enough bad shit going for it in the guys like Crash, Stu, Sheik, R. Rock, Petty, etc., dying - don't give it anymore.

You would say that. Not all of us think that Dutt, Acid and AB Luke are the be all and end all Barber, a little less bias in your posts would be nice you do realize that the Dutt/Acid "off the charts good" comment was taken verbatim from an unrelated third party currently at the show, then posted on the RoH board, then cut and pasted here, right....? that may explain the quotes. so any bias belongs to dude's friend Joe in Philly. (although... you are, as far as i'm concerned, correct about Luke, Acid, and to a lesser extent, Dutt.) from the TNA 2004 Wishlist thread, he goes on about wanting AB Luke or Dutt to "save" the X-Division From what I've seen of both XPW and CZW, Acid and Luke are overrated piles of shit, moreso Acid, and Dutt is a spotmonkey who's only saving grace is his higher hit frequency than Teddy Annis I don't mind people expressing their like for a certain wrestler, but calling a spotfest "off the charts good" and calling Whitmer- Stryker boring just reeks of bias You're an idiot. First of all, YOU clearly have a BIAS towards ME. First you bitch about my GQ Money interview when everyone else's feedback was positive. Now this... Dude, those aren't my opinions! I copied and pasted them from the ROH board! Those are the opinions of redishero's friend, Jose, who's AT the show. Jeez...shut up and stop acting like a moron. Luke is a great highspots worker, and is also pretty good technically. I bought the comp of his career from NWA-Wildside.com and he's quite good...even before he was in XPW, he had a feud with Vic Grimes that produced some of the best matches on the So-Cal circuit in BTW, RPW, SPW, and other feds. And Acid, I agree, he's overrated, to a degree, in that he tries to do stuff that he isn't great at, i.e. a Japanese style, but his matches with Homicide have proved to me that he's better than I thought. The guy is very talented, just not QUITE as talented as some people make him out to be. Stop being so pessimistic.

Matt Stryker defeated BJ Whitmer with the Stryker Lock to win the Field Of Honor Tournament. Very slow match. Locker room congratulates Stryker afterwards. I'm not gonna do this anymore. I'm too busy. Updates can be found at the ROH board. If someone wants to take over, feel free to do so.

John Walters defeated Xavier in the Fight Without Honor. F'N Awesome match says Joe. Xavier leaves the Prophecy and joins with... You guys ain't going to believe this... PRINCE NANA!!!!!!!!! Walters & Nana are now known as The Embassy. By the way...this post is no joke. Xavier and Nana are now allied.
