I agree that Punk definitely has the talent to be considered on the 1rst tier, but in terms of exposure, he hasn't really gotten much outside of IWA-MS. Sure he's worked ROH, but he's not a major star there. And in TNA, what has he ever done to make him a bigger star there than Tony Mamaluke, who hasn't wrestled a TNA show in God knows how long. I can see where you'd rank him in the first tier, but I'd feel a bit mroe comfortable waiting for him to become an uppercard star in ROH before we give hm the benefit of the doubt... "I think if Acid concentrated on singles instead of bouncing between singles and tag wrestling and could be on for a consistent amount of time, he could be considered B level by all." Agreed.

I don't think Punk is on the A level of the indys. I do think Styles, is, though. Acid being on the second tier is debateable, though. I don't really know if he's on the same level as Xavier, Scoot Andrews, Spanky (when he was in the indys), Cabana, Collyer, etc....He isn't really a singles star, like those guys.

Since when is a little over a year not considered 'new'? With CZW only running once or twice a month (unlike the WWE which runs far more than that), I'd definitely consider Cash a new commodity. He debuted on September 8, 2001, so he's been around for about a year and a half. I don't consider him new anymore. Maybe at the beginning of 2003, but not anymore.

Cash has been with the company for over a year. He's nowhere near new.

Part 3 of my GQ Money interview WITHOUT the Easter Eggs: Conducted by LucharesuFan619 Tuesday, April 8, 2003 ME: Lets talk about Sabu/Lazie's departure the day after Damage Inc. Do you want to give any info on why they left and/or what your feelings were about them leaving? GQ: I still wasn't fully involved back then, so my knowledge of their departure is pretty much nil. ME: OK, no problem. Were you friends with either one of them (i.e. did you miss them when they left)? GQ: No, I didn't know either of them very well. ME: OK. So, the next show was Halloween In Hell 2 (a.k.a. Blown To Hell) and, of course, that's where you and Angel shocked everyone. What was with that match? LOL. Why'd you guys work so well together there? I loved that match and so did many, many other XPW fans GQ: Angel and I knew we wanted to go out there and impress the hell out of everyone. We had a good chemistry together, and we were both wanting to prove ourselves as wrestlers, and not just comedic sidekicks. It was embedded in our brains for the few weeks leading up that we were going to go out there and try to steal the show. If it wasn't the best match of the night, we were going to make sure that people left there with a new perception of both of us and our skills. ME: That same night Kaos had his first TV title defense vs. New Jack. Was either of you nervous going in? GQ: Hell yeah...I was! I remember that morning when I went to the office to pick up some stuff, Kevin told me Jack was jumping off the tower on me and I was like, "AWWW Shit! That's cool." And then I already knew I wanted to blade for the first time, so it was pretty crazy. Shit, when I went down from the hit, I went to blade, but I was getting no blood. I'm thinking to myself, "Oh, fuck! This is New Jack...if I don't get up bleeding, he's gonna Mass Transit my ass," so I did it again and then "Bam!" - the juice started flowing and flowing and flowing. That's why I wore the white shirt. I knew I wanted it to get bloody...and it did. The whole experience was awesome. The whole blood felt really cool and it was my birthday at midnight that night. Thursday, May 22, 2003 ME: The next show was Retribution, at which you wrestled Preston Ascott III and Angel. What did you think of that match? What was Ascott like? GQ: Nothing really sticks out about that show...but I enjoyed the match. I wore an intentionally very stupid outfit that show. The match was fun and I enjoyed it. Ascott always entertained me. He wasn't a tremendous wrestler, but I always thought of him as very entertaining. He was cool. Real quiet, keeping to himself. He liked to read. He was real nice. ME: The next show was the infamous New Year's Revolution 2. What the hell happened with the surprise that will shock the wrestling world and the new X-Girls and all of that stuff? Since the hype obviously wasn't fulfilled, do you think that people who bought tickets to the show were robbed or ripped off in terms of their expectations? GQ: I don't remember anything about new X-Girls, but the surprise? That shit was great. Truthfully, that was all me and Rob. Kevin was dead set against it, but Rob and I were into having fun. There never was a set name we were going for. We figured we had heard that the WWF was going to be releasing people, so we figured (that) if they did, we'd be able to pick that person up, but we also knew that the way we worded our little thing (that) we would be protected in terms of our statement. After all, this was wrestling and one of the things you do in wrestling is push buttons and play with people's emotions. The statement was, "Come witness the shocking debut you never would expect, and hear an announcement that will change wrestling forever." Here's where we fucked up...the announcement. As far as the shocking debut - in my mind, I'll always think we delivered. That shit was funny as hell because you never would have suspected two bums. "The announcement that would change wrestling" - yeah, that part was too much, but the shocking debut...(that) goes down as one of my favorite moments in XPW. (It was) Pure comedic brilliance. Robert Thomas and Perry House were two legitimate bums. We found them out in front of the building. In terms of people being robbed or ripped off? Absolutely not. The show was great. The battle royal was entertaining. Chris Hamrick made his debut. The matches were really good; it was a really strong show. It's funny because people were expecting these big things, somewhat based on my "Dirt Bert" columns (that were posted on XPWrestling.com during the hype period for the show). But, what people never realized is that those columns always hinted that the debut wasn't who they expected. It was a "read between the lines" thing. Bert would make comments about former champs calling the (XPW) office, all of which was true, but he never said it was relating to the debut. Then, in the weeks leading to the show, there were always comments made by Bert steering people off the idea that it would be a former champ. It was the fan boards that jumped on the former champ stuff, never based on what we hyped. We hyped a shocking debut, and we delivered. Plus, we delivered a great new talent (Hamrick) and a solid show. In terms of who called (he office)... lots of people - Shane (Douglas), some other WWE guys who were friends (I won't give names to protect those guys) , more so calls based out of personal friendship; nothing really business related. But we had fun embellishing. Mean Gene (Okerlund)'s been doing that for years on his hotline. Joey Styles (is) the same way. We teased and we built intrigue, but in truth we never lied. I never felt it was a false publicity stunt. Fact is, it was wrestling. It's (false hype and over hype has) been done for years. The fact that people got excited means we did a good job. The fact that people felt they had been let down is ridiculous. And something else was on that show that I can't remember, but in no way should people have felt let down. Like I said, the comedy element of the situation was brilliant, as it established the Enterprise as the company's top heel group. The debut of Hamrick (was a positive), too. If you watched the show start to finish, it was very good...(and that's the) bottom line! And if people felt so let down, why was the next show an even bigger crowd? ME: Is the rumor that XPW tried to call Messiah up right before the show in hopes of getting him, but they found out he wasn't in So-Cal at the moment true? GQ: Absolutely not. ME: What did you think of the BattleZone Match, which you surprisingly won that night? GQ: It was fun, but pretty "gay." Everyone was low blowing everyone non-stop, people's trunks were being pulled down...the match was fun, exciting, and all that. It was just very "gay." The match was fun, exciting, and all that. The end (of the bout) kind of got delayed and played out too long because people eliminated wouldn't leave the ringside area. So, Rizzono, Hamrick, and I are waiting to do the finish and no one would get out of the way. Kraq threw a chair into the ring that hit Hamrick in the back of the head...some other stuff, too. We were just like, "get out of our way already." But the finish was cool - Hamrick hit his leg drop off my shoulders. I loved that shit...and then the broomstick up the ass of Rizzo (like I said, very "gay"). He did that move because of me. When I first met him that day, I asked him about that move (the flying leg drop) because he used to do it in ECW. He wasn't sure if he was going to do it, and I was like, "Do it up…it's sweet." So there it was (in the match). Everyone thinks I booked myself to win so I can (could) get over, and that's like the furthest thing from the truth. Rob wanted me to win because it meant me vs. Webb would continue the "Webb as a paper champion" thing (angle/storyline). Obviously, I wasn't a credible world title contender and that was the joke. ME: The next XPW show was Free Fall. What were your thoughts on the climax to the Grimes/Jack feud? GQ: GQ: Freefall....shiiiiiitttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That shit was crazy! It was scary! And it was also exciting. BUCK NAKED! Truthfully, Veronica was completely buck naked, but the lights...that was the intent from the beginning. Once again, anyone who really believed there wasn't going to be some gimmick was incredibly naive and stupid, for sheer legal reasons alone. But...VC (Veronica) was naked when she ran to the back. It just continued the heat on the E. It's what wrestling is all about - it built the E to become despised. Shit, that promo I cut after that match drained me. I wasn't expecting to do it (I was preparing for my match with Webb) and then I was being yelled at to go out and cut a promo on the crowd. It totally took me out of my zone and drained my energy and that's one of the reasons why the match with Webb wasn't so hot! Everyone calls it one of the worst matches in XPW title history and while I know it wasn't great, I've never thought it was as bad as people always make it out to be. ME: They do call it bad, but in all honesty, it wasn't that bad, in my opinion. I thought it was decent. Now, onto the XPW TV segments of The Enterprise (E-TV), the guest commentaries on matches, etc. God, I loved those segments! GQ: So did I. E-TV was great! My favorite time in XPW. Rob gave me full reign of those things, and I had a blast. The lead up to E-TV was great, too, with the midget and the fat chick and all that. They were both porn people - Bridget the Midget and Sindee Williams. Rob gave me the ball to write funny shit for the E, and I did. I'd give him ideas, he'd give me ideas, and we had a blast doing it Shablowme and Teninch was a great episode, as was "Right On." Yep...we just did our thing and improved everything. ME: The name droppping was funny, too - Curry Man (Christopher Daniels), Eddie Guerrero, Kevin Nash, Rey Mysterio Jr., etc. LOL. GQ: Like I said, we had tons of fun doing all that. That's when The E. was really on fire and when Kaos and I were really clicking together. That time period did wonder for building Kaos' "acting" and promo skills. ME: Many people say that the three E. members (Veronica, Kaos, and yourself) were closest around that time. Would you agree with that statement? GQ: Definitely. We knew we were the main faction, and we loved being in that spot. Wednesday, June 4, 2003 ME: Why did Sandman enter The Enterprise at Free Fall? He didn't seem to fit in at all. GQ: That was something Rob wanted to do. he wanted Sandman to be heel and using The E. was the best way, especially since he was wrestling Supreme (who was an arch-rival of The E.). ME: You debuted a new look at the show. Where did your new look come from? Why did you make the change your look? Do you think it was a good idea for your character, etc.? GQ: 100% Clockwork Orange. I wanted to shave my head at Free Fall, and Rob thought it was a cool new gimmick. It was a gimmick they were originally going to use me in if I was a full time wrestler when I debuted. I was originally going to be part of a tag-team called "Ultra Violence" (when I debuted in XPW), but I wanted to manage and not wrestle full-time. ME: What did you think of the match itself? There was lots of chaotic stuff, such as the Gory Guerrero Special/Flying Leg Drop you did with Kaos and your fall off the top of the cage. Were you nervous about the fall? How secure was the cage? GQ: That match was great! Fun as hell! Scary as hell! Remember, we were expecting the cage to have a full roof and we never got to go on top pre-show to even check it out, so it was a bit scary. The Gory Guerrero Special/Flying Leg Drop was cool and I loved the catapult splash from one ring to the other. I remember a point where me and Angel were brawling, and he says to me, "There's no roof!” and I was like, "Yeah, there is - over there!" and that started his climb. The cage had NO SECURITY. We thought that shit was going to collapse, especially when we were on top. I remember when both Angel and I were up top, and one of us threw a punch, and then we heard some of the fasteners snapped. I nearly shit my pants on that one. Angel and I thought we were going to be doing bumps up top and actually wrestling, but it was way too scary. So, then Kaos starts climbing up and I'm motioning to him not to, but he keeps coming. I didn't think the cage could hold all 3 of us, so Angel and I are panicking and Kaos keeps coming. So, I'm yelling to him to stay on the edge and finally...BOOM...I toss Angel, and then jump off after. After the match, Kaos told me that he thought when we were yelling at him, we were pussing out of the bumps off the cage and we were like, "Fuck, no!" We just didn't want the damn thing to collapse. Please note that this is only PART of the interview that I conducted. There is some more topics (Easter Eggs, we like to term them [as in a DVD]) that GQ discussed that only those of you who subscribed to the HouseOfXtreme.com newsletter or members of the HOX forums will be able to read (or those of you who are lazy and just go to the HOX newsboard). The interview, in full, including the Easter Eggs, have been posted on HouseOfXtreme.com's forums and the HOX newsboard. The Easter Eggs include discussions about: - why five major XPW stars left XPW and which star XPW continually lied to - the NEVER BEFORE SEEN Sabu Invitational House Show - What ever happened to the Vampiro/Rob Black Steel Cage Match that was hyped? - info on GQMoney.com - and more! Feedback can be posted in this thread, IM'ed to me, or emailed to me at [email protected]. http://www.HouseOfXtreme.com

Unfortunately, I haven't caught many of the most recent PPVs, so I'm wondering - in the Kid Kash/Erik Watts feud, who is the face and who is the heel? Thanks.

Thanks, and what is Erik Watts' E-Bomb?

While scrolling through NWA-Wildside.com, I discovered that former-XPW King of the Deathmatch Champion ALTAR BOY LUKE (who was trained by former-ECW and WWE wrestler Vic Grimes) will be working a dark match on this Wednesday's Pay-Per-View. No word yet on if it'll be aired on Xplosion. Just thought I'd pass this quick note along

I'll be there, that's for sure. Sacred Heart University (The venue) is about an hour and 15 minutes from New York.

Considering that Michael Modest has done it with the bridge loads of times (including in XPW), it seems anything but "impossible." You'd be correct. It was during their stretcher match at Matter of Respect '96. It was done with one standing int he ring, the other on the apron, the one on the apron fisherman bombs the other out of the ring and through a ringside table. My fantasy spoits would be: - Instead of the "I leap into a bodyscissors, you fling me back up, and I bulldog you," routine that luchadores do so often, somebody does that same thing, but instead of a bulldog, does a Triple H-style kneebuster. - Vic Grimes does a version of his Powerbomb into Gory Special off of the top-rope! It's actually quite possible to do, too. Sure, it would hurt, but it's still very possible. - Amazing Red goes for a 619 into a headscissors takeover off of the apron and to ringside on Brian XL, who's on the apron. However, XL catches Rd's legs, picks up the rest of his body, adjusts his position, and does an Xclamation Point off of the apron and thruogh a ringside table! Holy shit! - Inverted version of the move Mike Modest did on Beyond the Mat in his WWF dark match vs. Tony Jones. To make it even more intersting (Just FYI, I mean with the guy crooked on his back, facing away from Modest), turn that into a Crippler Crossface! I'm sure Brock Lesnar could do that with somebody, but he's about the only one. And the guy who took it would have to be willing to die, also. Inverted Rana coutner out of an Electric Chair Drop - It has been done many times.

Also: "Fuck him up Sandman! clap clap clap clap clap"

Patrick Govern is an asshole.

" IWA, FWA Rev Pro etc. have far superior products. None of those promotions, by the by, got a dime out of those deals." This is debateable, especially with Rev. Pro. Considering the roster XPW had when the agreement was made, their roster was - in simple terms - really fucking talented. "BJPW and CZW on the surface do, but for whatever reason, the interpromotional matches never clicked. A lot of them are very disjointed and hard to watch- either because of the language barrier, the relative inexperience of the CZW guys at the time, or they do ultraviolence differently overseas. Plus, the BJPW feud brought such stellar moments as Ric Blade breaking Winger's face, Winger stinking up BOTB1, and Wifebeater almost killing Yamakawa." The feud produced many memorable matches. What about the death match between Zandig and Honma? That was one of the best death matches I've ever seen. The BJPW guys carried Wifebeater on not one, but SEVERAL occasions to an actually PASSABLE TECHNICAL match, not to say he was Bret Hart, but their talent was so abundant that they were able to carry him to passable matches. BSB had some great tag team matches with Teioh, Sekimoto, Fujita, etc. and Gage and Hatred had many teriffic singles matches and tag team matches with Kanemura, Honma, WX, Kasai, etc. Their styles are quite similar. Kanemura's style is VERY similar to Gage/Hatred's styles. Teioh and Acid's styles blended beautifully. Kasai's style and Mondo's, Pain's, etc.'s blended great. And dude, IWA-MS' roster is far and beyond that of CZW's roster. You're going to compare Zandig, Mondo, Messiah (a guy a rival company made), Hatred, and Gage to Ian, Hero, Punk, Cabana, Gooch, Tony, Webb, etc.? There's no comparison. CZW is working with a company that is considerably ahead of them in terms of talent, just like XPW and it's "developmental" promotions.

So, basically, the midcarders of JAPW are the backbone of ROH. That's all dandy with me, I guess...

"as both companies have complementary styles." Yeah, and CZW and BJPW CLEARLY didn't have complementary styles. Please... "Funny how an "XPW development territory" (I can barely type that without laughing) is now working with Zandig." Seeing as how XPW is now in hiatus, I don't see it as "funny." The IWA-MS guys have to work somewhere, and seeing as how IWA-MS isn't doing too well right now, they took the offer from Sandig. I don't see what's wrong with that.

Jasmin calls Francine "unprofessional," yet runs a pornography website. Talk about being an unprofessional bitch...

I hardly consider it an invasion when only three wrestlers "invade," one of which is a guy who's been working for the company that is "invading" for only a few months (Bailey).

You're not in the innocent party here? That'd be an understatement, seeing as how you just took an unwarranted cheap shot towards me by calling me "Barbie." Why don't you do the mature thing and not resort to such things and just end the crap, like I've done so many times already, only to get bashed again? It reveals your immaturity.

Sandman, I'm still waiting for your response to my post in the other thread. Why must you make such a big deal about a little thing and criticize me and then not even have the character to give me at least some response?

More liked than me? HAHAHAHA!!! PLEASE... And you started the XPW talk in this thread. I apologize on your part for your own ignorance. Please accept my apologies. And stop blindly bashing XPW while you're at it. Hypocrite. WINNER: Me. LOSERS: Sandman9000 and Nevermortal. Nevermortal is more liked then you Barber. And with your reputation, I can't imagine finding too many people who are liked less then you. As for XPW, this is the FIRST time in this thread I've mentioned those initials. So I fail to see how I started the XPW talk in this thread. As for bashing XPW, I'll be the first person to admit I've done that in the past. However, I've gotten out of that habit. No sense in beating a dead horse with a stick. But, by all means Barber, don't let reality hinder your imagination from telling you what to believe. Man, when you have to waste your time making a poll like that, you KNOW you're a loser. LMFAO at how you waste your time, UBLISTBSGSE or whatever in the hell you're name is. Sandman9000, you're a hypocrite, but not only that, your memory only remembers things that you want to remember. You irrationally bashed Rob Black in your first post in this thread. Did you forget that already? Do you realize that you're saying everything to me that would actually relate to me? You talk about "beating a dead horse" and yet go around continuing the talk about a business move that occurred more than half a year ago? Think.

At the June 7 Heritage Wrestling Association show, former-XPW star GQ Money announced that he and Kaos were going to go their separate ways. Since exiting XPW in March due to creative differences with XPW management, the two have teamed with J-Love to form Hollywood Inc., an immensely popular duo that even received matches in NWA-TNA. However, according to a recent press release by HWA, GQ and Kaos both want to show that they can succeed on their own in the pro wrestling business and they will now be wrestling as singles competitors on different shows. HWA's press release also stated that Kaos would become a full-time HWA wrestler. Both Kaos and GQ had singles matches on the June 7 HWA show, but each came out alone. There is no word on where J-Love fits into the equation now. Serious rumors had surfaced that she and GQ were dating, so it's unknown if they're still together or if they broke up and will also part ways. This is an immense shock to many XPW and indy wrestling fans in general. GQ and Kaos worked together incredibly well and together created some of the most entertaining backstage segments, interviews, guest commentaries, and matches to ever be seen in XPW. Behind the scenes, it was very well known that they were the absolute best of friends. For more on the departure of the two from XPW and their history within XPW, go to HouseOfXtreme.com and check out my recent column on the aforementioned subject. HollywoodIncDotCom.com, the official site of the trio, now has a graphic on the main page that says "The party is over" with a picture of the trio crossed out, clearly signifying that they have in fact gone their separate ways. HouseOfXtreme.com would like to send their deepest thanks to GQ and especially Kaos for the devotion to XPW that they exemplified throughout each of their tenures in the promotion. We would also like to wish all three members of the former-Hollywood Inc. faction the best of luck in their future endeavors in professional wrestling and life in general. For more on J-Love, check out MyValentina.com. I hope to have comments from either GQ or J-Love on this subject within the next few days.
