First of all, it doesn't matter if it happened in a civilized country or not, A person from Iraq would die if they were shot in the head, just like someone from the U.S. That standard is ridiculous. Here are some examples: "They go into the cities and shoot people and threaten people and insist that they not surrender and not rise up," Rumsfeld told reporters on Capitol Hill. "They're vicious. They left somebody in the center of Baghdad not too long ago with his tongue pulled out until he bled to death." from http://www.charlotte.com/mld/observer/2003...ews/5501006.htm and http://www.bayarea.com/mld/cctimes/5503161.htm "The man went home to his wife, and convinced she was the Devil, bit out her tongue. She bled to death. " from www.sundayherald.com/32026 "he bit his tongue and bled to death " from www.museumofcivilform.com/Library/ianmccramy.html This here is part of a myth. Don't know if it's true or not, but here's what it says... "She alerted the parents of the dead child and found that the child's tongue had been removed, and the child had bled to death." from www.ilhawaii.net/~stony/lore45.html Must I continue?

This comes from Phillip McConnell: NWA:TNA Xplosion Review For 6-30-03 By: Phillip McConnell NWA:TNA Correspondent [email protected] This week's show kicks off the same way the Pay-Per-View on 6/25 did, with a video going over the events from 6/18 show. Next up was a short video going over the history of Americas’ Most Wanted vs. Triple X feud heading into 6/25. Mike Tenay and Jeremy Borash join us for the first time this week. They talk about the events from this past weeks’ PPV. Ron Killings, Konnan, and BG James vs. CB Cane, Todd Sexton, and Delirious w/ Eddie G James and Cane start out with a collar and elbow. James with a wristlock then an armwringer. Cane with a forearm to break. He follows that with two right hands, a whip into the ropes and a dropkick. Cane with another right. He goes to whip James into the ropes but James blocks that and nails Cane with the left hands and one hard right. Knee drop by James. Cover gets two. Both men up, James with a knee to the mid-section. Killings tags in and quickly gets taken to the mat by an armdrag from Cane. Sexton tags in and applies a wristlock. He goes to whip Killings into the ropes but Killings reverses the move and kicks Sexton in the mid-section. Suplex into a stunner for two by Killings. Killings whips Sexton into the ropes, kicks him in the mid-section, and nails him with an axe kick. Killings goes to whip Sexton into the corner but Sexton reverses. Killings puts on the breaks and floats back behind a charging Sexton. Killings does the splits to avoid a clothesline. Konan then clothesline Sexton. James with an elbow. Killings covers for two. Killings whips Sexton into the ropes and the two BUTT heads after Sexton bounces off the ropes. Konnan and Delirious tag in. Delirious goes for a wheelbarrow but Konnan turns that into a release german suplex. He then hits a reverse DDT on Sexton and a rolling clothesline on Cane. Konnan then finishes the match by kicking Delirious in the mid-section, hitting the face jam, and applying the Tequila Sunrise. Delirious taps out. After the match, James slingshots Eddie G into the ring. Killings kicks Eddie in the mid-section and then plants him with a picture perfect Falcon Arrow, which Eddie sells better than anybody I have ever seen take the move. Winners, by pinfall, Killings, Konnan, and James Commercial Break. Mike and Jeremy talk about Jerry Lynn vs. Justin Credible feud. Highlights of Lynn vs. Credible “Lights Out Match” from this past weeks PPV. Commercial Break. Video hyping the Sting interview by Mike Tenay next week. Next up was video of New Jack talking to Shark Boy in the Shark Tank (a kiddie pool) from this past week's PPV. Commercial Break. Mike and Jeremy talk about the Hard 10 Tournament. Highlights of Sandman defeating Sonny Siaki in the semi-finals of the Hard 10 tourny. Also shown was the post match promo by New Jack about this coming weeks’ Hard 10 finals. I personally thought this was the best match of the Hard 10 tournament thus far. Commercial Break. Video airs again to hype the Sting interview. Commercial Break. David Young vs. 2 Face Face with a quick go behind into a waistlock takedown then a front face lock. Young tries to escape but Face simply reapplies the front face lock. Both men up to their feet. Face with a wristlock into a side headlock. Young shoots Face into the ropes. He goes for a hip toss but Face turns that into a firemans’ carry followed by an armbar. Young with three forearms to break. He goes for a kick to the ribs but Face blocks that and clotheslines Young. Young backs up the ropes and Face clotheslines him to the floor. Face follows him out only to get distracted by Sonny Siaki who walks out on the ramp. Young takes advantage of this with a forearm to the back. Young whips Face into the side of the ring. Face pulls himself up out of the way of a charging Young then skins the cat back into the ring. Face off the top rope to the floor with an axe handle on Young. Both men back in and Young attacks Face with an axe handle to the shoulders. Right hands by Young. He whips Face into the corner. He tries again but Face tosses him into the corner and rains some rights down onto him. He whips Young into the ropes and catches him with a big boot. He then whips Young into the corner and follows him in with a clothesline. Forearm to the back by Face who then pulls a Kid Kash and scales the ropes and catches Young with a clothesline. Young with a drop toe hold sending Face into the corner. Young eats boot when he charges in after him. Face pulls himself up to the top rope then comes crashing down on Young with a big leg drop. Siaki on the ring apron distracts Face. When he turns around Young plants him with a spinebuster for the win. Winner, by pinfall, Young Commercial Break. Mike and Jeremy talk about AMW vs. XXX. Highlights of Americas’ Most Wanted defeating Tripls X in a steel cage to win the NWA World Tag Team Titles. This segment from the start of Mike and Jeremy talking to the end of the highlights of the match lasted almost twenty-one minutes and was without commercial interruption. One of the best segments in Xplosion history. Commercial Break. Mike and Jeremy talk about the odd tag pairings of Jeff Jarrett and Raven and the equally as odd pairing of Glenn Gilbertti and Shane Douglas. Highlights of Jarrett and Raven over Gilbertti and Douglas by DQ after Father James Mitchell hit Raven in the face with a fireball. End Show. Closing thoughts: Overall the best Xplosion to date. Only thing I would have changed would have been a few less minutes of the AMW vs. XXX match in favor of at least a few minutes worth of highlights for both the D-Lo Brown vs. AJ Styles fight and the Chris Sabin vs. Frankie Kazarian match. Once again my continued thanks to all of you for your support for these reports and the great NWA:TNA sites like www.totalnonstop.com, www.tnattitude.com, www.tnarevolution.com, www.heelsection.com, and www.tnacentral.com. Have a great Tuesday and see you all after the show with the NWA:TNA Live Notes Report. As always… best wishes.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure of that....I mean, when Gage gets backdropped on it, the thing fucking shatters into a million pieces. If that was real, it would've had a bit more resistance to it. Well, then why not have someone superkick stuntman sugar glass into the face. If a boot scrape w/ it doesn't kill, a super kick certainly wouldn't. ulfistgut, when you get your tongue pierced precautions are being taken. You're numbed signifcantly, there are towels near by, the process is done SLOWLY (not all in one moment like with a staple gun), etc. One can't take such precautions in a wrestling match.

in case you didnt know, the toungue is the fastest healing muscle in the human body. sure it will hurt like hell when it gets stapples but it will be completely fine an hour or so later, probably even sooner, so you're wrong about the whole dieing from a cut toungue thing. and while i'm at it, i dont think you or anyone else here should really be staking claims to what is or isnt wrestling, it may not be your cup of teat but it still falls under the broad category that is prowrestling. now if 2 guys went out there and sat in the ring knitting then you'd have an arguement, but it sounds like these guys went out there and had a fight and thats fine by me. "in case you didnt know, the toungue is the fastest healing muscle in the human body. sure it will hurt like hell when it gets stapples but it will be completely fine an hour or so later, probably even sooner, so you're wrong about the whole dieing from a cut toungue thing." No, I'm not. If your claim that it's the fastest heeling muscle is in fact correct, then something isn't right, seeing as how it's quite common for somebody who had their tongue cut out (dating back to ancient times) to die of blood loss. The tongue isn't the fastest heeling muscle in the body, dude. Believe me. It's one of the areas that bleed the most in the entire body. "CZW also saves money by not flying them into the show. " Thank you for finally proving my point that Jeff Strauch so often refuses the validity of - that Nick Mondo DOES in fact have to be flown in by CZW when he works its shows. "The spots you're suggesting are involving a person's face, and the face is usually what wrestlers, including deathmatch ones, always try to protect. Last thing a person needs is to have glass go into their eyes, and by having a pane of glass or lighttubes superkicked into their face. Even with the tree of woe dropkick spot, where the bulbs are in front of someone's face, the attackers feet go to the outside of the victim's head, which (in theory) causes the glass to break away from the person's face." T.O.D. '02 - Gage running boot scrapes a pane of glass into WBeater's face. It shatters up on impact. There is always going to be a chance of it going in their eyes, but seeing as how wrestlers have kicked panes into others' faces often, it's very possible to do a superkick and knock on into one's face.

If you look at the past NWA-TNA results, the NWA world title ain't defended each week. If it was, it wouldn't mean too much. Why? It makes a title more special if it's only defended on certain occasions "Abyss is Vic Grimes? Oh God No." Grimes is a friggin' awesome worker, dude. Works any style. Red is still injured, to my knowledge, but I imagine he could still do some non bumping stuff, as long as he's careful, whcih is why I used him. "Gathering vs. Truth/Konnan? Gathering are just about faces, so why a face vs. face tag match?" Julio Dinero will probably never become a face. He's a natural heel. Punk is going to be feuding w/ London. Why else would London have screwed him a few weeks ago? So, out of those two, who would you rather see as a face - London or Punk? You can't have both be face, so I'd pick London as the face and Punk as the heel.

Handicap Match: D'Lo Brown d. The Harris Brothers (Don Harris & Ron Harris) by pinning Ron after NWA World Heavyweight Champion botches an attempted interference and Jeff Jarrett takes out Styles Indepth Results: 1. X Division Match: Jason Cross vs. Kid Romeo WHY: The only history that these two have with each other are that they both participated in a four corners elimination match that also included Paul London (who eventually won the match) and C.M. Punk almost a month ago on May 21. Romeo recently returned to TNA after an almost year long abscence from the promotion and is looking to make an impact like only his arrogant, yet quite popular, self can. This would, in my opinion, be a teriffic opening match for this show. MATCH: Highlights: - Romeo hits a Wheelbarrow Bulldog and then a Catapult Headscissors Takeover for 2! - Cross takes Romeo out with a Flying Corkscrew Somersault Topè! - Cross attempts a Dragon Suplex, but Romeo hits two elbow smashes in an attempt to escape. However, Cross ducks a third and Romeo does a 180º due to the momentum and ends up being Northern Lights Suplexed by Cross for 2. - Cross attempts a Flying Crossbody Block, but Romeo catches him in midair and turns it into an awesome Swinging Powerslam for 2! - Cross applies a Dragon Sleeper and to try to escape it, Romeo runs toward the nearest ringpost and climbs up the turnbuckles. Cross, though, pulls him back toward the ring and - at the same time - sits down and delivers a picture-perfect Inverted DDT! - Cross hits the Cross Star Press (Standing Shooting Star Press) and then climbs up to the top buckle and signals for the Crossfire (Flying Shooting Star Leg Drop). However, Romeo gets back up and crotches him before climbing out to the apron and hitting a Springboard into Leaping Headscissors Takeover, sending Romeo forward somersaulting off of the turnbuckle and down to the mat below! Romeo covers for 2. - Romeo attempts the Kiss Goodnight (Kryptonic Krunch), but Cross' weight is too much and he flips back forward and then lifts Romeo into a crooked, draped position over his back. Cross hits an awesome looking Running Draped Back-to-Belly Crooked Slam (like Mike Modest does to Tony Jones during their WWF/E dark match in Beyond the Mat]) for 2! The finish comes when Cross attempts his Vertical Drop Brainbuster Suplex, but Romeo realizes that if he hits it, it will probably be the end for him, so he fights out of it and hits a Swinging Neckbreaker before bodyslamming Cross and climbing up to the top buckle. However, Cross gets up, crotches him, climbs up onto the buckles himself, and attempts his signature Super Tomakazi. However, Romeo fights out of the move and hits a Full Nelson into a Forward-Flying Sitout Inverted Powerbomb for the pinfall win! This bout is generall considered to to be the Match of the Night. 2. Interview w/ X Champion Chris Sabin - leads to confrontation w/ Frankie Kazarian WHY: Last week, Frankie Kazarian won a tremendous non-title match over X Champion Chris Sabin. I absolutely love the idea for this feud and if I was booking the show, I'd definitely continue building a feud between these two. INTERVIEW: Backstage, Goldylocks is interviewing NWA-TNA X Champion Chris "The Future" Sabin and when she asks him about his surprising loss to Frankie Kazarian last week. Sabin says that the loss was a fluke and that he's still the undisputed X Champion and that he won't be losing that title anytime soon. Suddenly, Kazarian enters the picture and confronts Sabin. He tells Sabin that his win over him last week was anything but a fluke and that the result saw him win because he is the better man. The two get into a heated argument and security is forced to break it up. 3. Mike Tenay apologizes to the fans and announces that David Young & Sonny Siaki (along with their valet, Tracy) missed their flight and won't be able to wrestle America's Most Wanted for the NWA World Tag Team Titles tonight, so instead of that match, we'll see Elix Skipper vs. James Storm. Tenay mentions that Young & Siaki will be at next week's NWA-TNA PPV, though. I'd rather Skipper vs. Storm and have it bring about The Amazing Red's return (see below) than have the Young/Siaki vs. AMW match that TNA announced on its last show occur. What I'd do next week is have Young & Siaki come to the show expecting to wrestle AMW, only to be told that - since they didn't attend the PPV last week (anotherwards, this week) - they have to earn back that title shot by beating a team like Konnan & Ron Killings, who I put over in my fantasy booking for this show (see below, also). 3. Elix Skipper vs. James Storm (w/ Chris Harris) WHY: For the last few months, America's Most Wanted (Harris & Storm) and Triple X (Christopher Daniels, Elix Skipper, & Ki) have been feuding with each other and last week in the first-ever Steel Cage match, AMW beat Triple X to win the NWA World Tag Team Titles. With this feud having lasted several months already, I figure that having Kid Romeo ally with AMW would add some more interest in this already heated rivalry. I was originally going to use Frankie Kazarian for this position, but since it seems like he's now getting involved in a feud with Chris Sabin, I decided to leave him with his program with Sabin. Then, The Amazing Red was my second choice, since he's wrestled several of the Triple X members in NWA-TNA (and other promotions) before. Although he is currently injured, I decided that having Red return and ally with AMW was a smart move to continue the heat in this feud. I'd make sure, though, that he wouldn't have to take any serious bumps and that for the most part, it'd be the Triple X members who would be taking the bumps. Red has wrestled all of the Triple X members in some form or another during his tenure in NWA-TNA and on his last appearance in the promotion (on May 21), he teamed with Justin Credible and Slash to beat all three members of Triple X in a six-man tag team match. Since Harris has been the more prominent singles wrestler in NWA-TNA so far, I booked Storm so that Storm's exposure and interest level with the fans is brought up to those of his partner, which gives their tag team as a whole more credibility. MATCH: The finish comes when Ki and Daniels run out to the ring and Ki distracts the referee, while Daniels enters the ring and attempts the Last Rites on Storm. However, Storm surprises him by lifting him up onto his shoulders and hitting the Eight Second Ride (Fireman's Carry into Stunner). Danies rolls out of the ring and when Storm turns back around, he is greeted by a gut kick from Skipper, who follows by setting Storm up for the Play of the Day. Storm, though, lifts Skipper up onto his shoulders in an Electric Chair hold, only to have Skipper counter with an Inverted Huracanrana. Skipper then sits Storm on the top ring rope and tries his rope-walk huracanrana, but Storm, sitting on the ropes, pushes Skipper off of the ropes and sends him flying out to ringside, taking out Daniels and Ki in the process. Once the three Triple X members get back up, Storm tries a Suicide Dive through the ropes, but the three Triple X members catch him and slam him down on the concrete floor. They then begin beating down on him as the referee rules the bout a DQ win for Storm. Triple X roll Storm back into the ring and continue to beat on him until Chris Harris runs out and tries to save his partner. He takes out Daniels and Skipper, but Ki knocks him down from behind, allowing Triple X to regain the advantage. Together, they beat down AMW until The Amazing Red, returning to NWA-TNA, runs out and assists AMW. He hits some of his signature moves (but doesn't take too many stiff bumps, since - like Ki - he's currently injured) and thereby sends Daniels and Skipper out of the ring, leaving Ki (who is currently unable to wrestle due to an injury) alone. Ki, though, smartly scurries out of the ring and retreats backstage with his two fellow Triple X members, all of whom are clearly frustrated after being punked out by Red. Back in the ring, Red helps Harris and Storm back to their feet and it's clear that a new alliance has been made. This sets up for a series of matches between various combinations of the team of The Amazing Red & America's Most Wanted (Chris Harris & James Storm) and Triple X (Christopher Daniels, Elix Skipper, & Low Ki). 4. Advertisements for NWATNA.com, NWA-TNA's sponsors, NWA-TNA merchandise, etc. air 5. Abyss & Kid Kash vs. Erik Watts & Trinity WHY: For the last month, Kash has been feuding with Watts & Trinity and even suffered an upset when he lost to Trinity in a one-on-one match. He and Watts battled last week and Kash won when the masked man, Abyss, attacked Watts behind the referee's back, setting him up for Kash to easily pin him. Abyss debuted a few ago by attacking Watts. Since then, he has continued targeting Watts and therefore has aided Kash several times. If I was booking the upcoming show, I'd have him finally compete in an official match and team with Kash to take on Watts & Trinity. Plus, in his latest "From the Inside" column, NWA-TNA employee Jeremy Borash announced that Abyss would in fact be making his in-ring debut on this upcoming week's show. Trinity can sufficiently hold her own against Kash, as she's proved before, so this match would give Abyss a chance to attempt to physically resolve his problems with Watts. MATCH: Kash and Trinity focus on each other for most of the match, while Abyss and Watts primarily grapple against each other. Highlights: - Trinity hits an Apron-Dive Huracanrana on Kash. - Kash attempts The Bankroll (Fisherman's Suplex Lift into Headbreaker), but Trinity counters it with an armdrag and follows with a Huracanrana! - Watts hits a Flying Plancha onto Abyss, taking the big man out at ringside! - Trinity hits a Tilt-a-Whirl Headscissors Takeover on Abyss. - Watts hits a Fameasser on Abyss for 2. - Trinity hits a Run-the-Ropes Tornado DDT on Kash for 2. - Abyss hits a Powerbomb into a Gory Guerrero Special on Watts for 2. The finish comes when Abyss tries to whip Watts from one ringpost to the opposite one, but Watts holds onto Abyss' hand, grabs his head, and tries to Russian Leg Sweep him into the ringpost (the one that they were just at). However, Watts isn't strong enough to perform the move, though, and Abyss lifts him up and hits his Swinging Sidewalk Slam, followed by a Flying Leg Drop for the pinfall win. Abyss leaves the ring area (along w/ Kash) without unmasking. 6. Justin Credible/Perry Saturn confrontation - Jerry Lynn also comes out WHY: A week and a half ago on NWA-TNA's PPV, Credible attacked Saturn during Saturn's match against Japan's Kenzo Suzuke. The two continued brawling after the bout was ruled a No Contest. Meanwhile, Credible and Lynn have been feuding for the last month and their rivalry is really heating up at this point. I figure that having Lynn be forced to stay away from Credible for a week would increase the heat in that feud and to do something with the Credible/Saturn feud, too. CONFRONTATION: Perry Saturn comes out and trashes Justin Credible for interfering in his match a few weeks ago. He calls out Credible (who grants his request and comes out to the ring) and challenges him to a match next week. Credible comes out and says that he already is busy with his feud against Jerry Lynn. However, Saturn makes a deal with him and asks that if Lynn is banned from ringside, would he agree to the bout? After re-thinking it, Credible agrees, but reiterates that Lynn must be banned from ringside or else he won't wrestle the match. 7. Hard 10 Tournament Final Round Match: New Jack vs. The Sandman WHY: These two are scheduled to wrestle this week in the final round of the Hard 10 Tournament, so there's really no way I can change that, since it's a tournament and the final match was booked for this show for awhile, I presume. As for why I'm involving Mike Sanders and Slash in the bout - Four weeks ago, New Jack beat Slash to advance in the Hard 10 Tournament. The next week, After a match between Jack's tag team partner, Shark Boy, and X Champion Chris Sabin, Sanders attacked Jack. Then, two weeks ago, Jack beat Sanders to advance to the final round of this tournament thanks to Shark Boy's help. Jack and Sandman once were allies in the Extreme Revolution stable, but that broke up a few weeks ago and he and Sandman therefore went their separate ways, but will cross paths in this match. NOTE: The scoring in this match will be done in this form: (a-b) when New Jack's score = a and Sandman's score = b. MATCH: Before the bout, the two shake hands with each other, thereby displaying excellent sportsmanship. This is a typical ECW-style brawl with little actual wrestling and a lot of brawling with weapons. Highlights: a trash can lid, a cookie sheet, crowbar, ring bell, steel chair, guardrail, ring steps, a golf club, computer keyboard, - Sandman flies through the ring ropes with a Suicide Dive to take out Jack at ringside! - Jack swings a crutch and hits a garbage can that he has put over Sandman's head with it. This gives Jack 1 point. (1-0) - Sandman, standing on the apron with Jack, applies an inverted facelock and leaps down onto the floor, bringing Jack down with him and DDTing Jack's head into the apron while he (Sandman) lands down on the ringside floor! Sandman gains 1 point. (1-1) - With both men standing on the ring steps, Sandman piledrives Jack onto the structure for a second point. (1-2) - Sandman White Russian Leg Sweeps Jack into the ringside guardrail for yet another point. (1-3) - Jack lays the garbage can at ringside, climbs onto the apron, applies an inverted facelock on Sandman (who's standing on the ringside floor), and delivers a Tornado DDT that drives Sandman face-first into the garbage can for 1 more point! (2-3) - Sandman Sidewalk Slams Jack off of the apron and through a ringside table for 5 points! (2-8) He then rolls Jack back into the ring. - With both men now in the ring, Sandman whips Jack into the opposite turnbuckle and charges after him, but Jack leaps onto the middle buckle, springs backwards, and knocks out the incoming Sandman with a surprisingly decent looking back elbow. Jack then goes out to ringside and gets a staple gun from a fan and uses it to staple Sandman's forehead open! Holy Sh*t! Jack gains 1 point. (3-8) - Jack, standing next to Sandman, (both are standing on the apron) grabs the back of his foe's head leaps off of the apron, sending Sandman through a ringside table with a Neckbreaker off of the apron! Jack gains 5 points and ties it up at 8 points each! (8-8) Then, when the two get back up, Jack Front Suplexes Sandman face-first onto the steel guardrail to gain another point. (9-8) The two then brawl into the crowd, where Jack uses a crowbar to bash across Sandman's back, bringing his score up to 10. (10-8) Knowing that he only has to score one more point to win the bout, Jack grabs a steel chair and looks to chairshot Sandman, but Sandman ducks and when Jack charges at him again, drop toe holds him, causing him to fall face-first into the chair and the dirty, concrete floor. (10-9) A fan then give Sandman a Budweiser beer can, which he opens up, gulps down quickly, and then spits the contents of into Jack's face before using the can to punch down Jack to gain another point, thereby tying the bout up at 10! (10-10) The two then gradually brawl back towards the ring, where Jack gains back control and drops Sandman out of a Fireman's Carry so that he lands face-first on the ring apron, giving Jack another point. (11-10) Jack then rolls Sandman back into the ring - Sandman hits a Running Tree of Woe Sliding Dropkick (a la Tommy Dreamer or [Yoshihiro] Tajiri when they were in ECW) that knocks a steel chair into Jack's face to gain another point. (11-11) - Sandman whips Jack into the opposite corner and then charges toward him, but Jack steps forward a few feet and catches Sandman with a Hiptoss that sends him crashing into the ringpost! Jack gains 1 point. (12-11) Sandman tumbles through the ropes and out to ringside. Jack exits the ring, sets up a table at ringside, and lays Sandman on it. Jack then climbs back into the ring and onto the top turnbuckle so that he's facing out towards the table that Sandman is on. It looks like Jack is going to hit a Flying Splash out of the ring and through the table, but before he can do so, Mike Sanders & Slash run out to the ring. Slash climbs up onto the ring apron and distracts the referee (along with New Jack), allowing for Sanders to enter the ring, sneak up behind Jack, and crotch him on the top turnbuckle. Sanders quickly exits the ring at about the same time that Slash stops distracting the referee. Sandman now gets up off of the table and - after grabbing a computer keyboard from a fan - climbs up onto the apron and, while holding the keyboard in front of Jack's face, Bulldogs Jack off of the apron and through the table, driving his foe's face into both the keyboard and the table in the process! Sandman gains five more points and therefore wins the bout and the tournament, 12-16! After the bout, Sandman leaves following a short celebration and Shark Boy then comes out and helps New Jack backstage. 8. In-ring promo by Shane Douglas w/ "The Sinister Minister" James Mitchell; Raven gets involved WHY: Two weeks ago, Douglas made his debut in NWA-TNA by attacking Raven and helping cost him an NWA World Heavyweight Title Match against AJ Styles and Jeff Jarrett. A week later, the two brawled during the show's main event and then last week, Douglas & Glenn Gilberti (a.k.a. Disco Inferno) fought to a No Contest with Raven & Jeff Jarrett when Douglas introduced the man who he was referring to in a promo a few weeks before when he had made "a deal with the devil" - "The Sinister Minister" James Mitchell, who threw a fireball at Raven as the show went off of the air. This segment will feature the aftermath and repercussions of Mitchell's debut. PROMO/CONFRONTATION: Shane Douglas comes out rips into the crowd and Raven by bragging about how he had given a hint to them and Raven about who he was bringing in, but neither party got the hint and Raven had to pay for that mistake. He then introduces his devilish new manager, James Mitchell, who comes out to the ring, enters it, and hugs Douglas, his supposed new client. Douglas then vows to finish the quest that he set out on a decade (well nine years, but Douglas can get away with a one year long difference) ago - to destroy the illustrious history of the NWA and its World Heavyweight Title - and says that together, he and the evilest man in wrestling, James Mitchell, will accomplish that feat. Raven's music hits and out he comes, wearing some bandages to cover part of his face, due to the fireball attack from last week. He says that before he gets to Douglas, he wants to talk about Mitchell. He says that Douglas called him the "evilest man in wrestling," but that Douglas must've forgotten his time in ECW, since its quite common knowledge that no man can ever be as evil as Raven can be. At this point, Raven turns toward the crowd and does his old crucifix pose, with his arms widespread. The crowd pops as Raven turns his attention back to Douglas. He says that if Douglas wants to find out what evil truly is, Raven would be more than happy to give him a first rate education in Evil 101 via a "Raven's Clockwork Orange House of Fun" when he returns to in-ring work after his wounds heel from the fireball attack. Raven turns his back on Douglas as the fans achknowledge their interest in seeing such a match, but that turns out to be a mistake, as Douglas attacks him from behind and begins repeatedly stomping on him. He hits the Pittsburgh Plunge (Fishsermanbuster) and then attempts the Franchiser (Dropdown Shoulder Jawbreaker), but Raven delivers several elbow smashes to the side of Douglas' head to escape the hold and then runs off of the ropes and knocks Douglas down with a lunging Forearm Smash! Raven starts relentlessly assaulting Douglas in the corner, but Mitchell gets his attention for a moment and distracts him long enough for Douglas to pull his signature metal chain out of his boot and attack Raven with it from behind. Douglas continues beating on Raven and choking him with the chain before exiting the ring with Mitchell and heading backstage, leaving Raven (who was already injured before this segment due to the fireball attack) lying in a pool of his own blood. Douglas and Mitchell exchange evil laughs towards Raven's direction as they disappear from view through the curtain. When a woozy Raven finally makes it back up to his feet, he receives a standing ovation from the fans before heading backstage. 9. The Gathering (C.M. Punk & Julio Dinero) vs. Konnan & Ron Killings WHY: Two weeks ago on PPW, Punk costed London his X Divison Title Match against champion Chris Sabin when he DDT'd Punk, allowing Sabin to easily pin him to retain his title. On the other hand, Konnan nor Killings have wrestled on an NWA-TNA show in the last two weeks, so they need to get back onto TV. I think it's pretty logical to have The Gathering - who is Raven's backup force - wrestle against Konnan & Killings. MATCH: Highlights: - Killings tries a stiff kick, but Punk catches his leg and delivers a Neckbreaker onto it, which is a signature move of his. Punk follows by attempting the Punkhandle (Pumphandle) Piledriver, but Killings escapes by lifting Punk into a draped position over his back and hittinig a stiff Double-Leg Slam and then follows with a Handspring Leg Drop for 2! - Konnan ducks a Thrust Kick and hits a gut kick followed by a Sitout Face Plant on Dinero for 2. - Dinero tries the Dream Theater (Tornado DDT into Cutter) on Konnan, but Konnan refuses to be taken down and instead brings Dinero back down onto the mat (after he has swung around in the process of trying to do the move) and hits a T-Bone Suplex. - Killings attempts his Inverted Russian Leg Sweep, but Punk counters with a Jawbreaker and then performs a bridging German Suplex for 2. The finish comes when Punk climbs up to the top buckle and signals for a Moonsault onto Konnan, but Paul London (looking for revenge from one and a half weeks ago) runs out and - from the ringside concrete floor - throws a chair at Punk, knocking him into a crotched position on the top buckle. Konnan gets back up to his feet, climbs up to the top buckle where Punk is, and hits a Spider German Suplex. He then applies the Tequila Sunrise for the submission victory. After the bout, Punk sees London in the entrance aisleway smiling and becomes incensed with anger. The two stare each other down as the screen fades into a backstage segment... 10. Backstage Promo by Abyss WHY: The masked man, who is apparently named, "Abyss," has been feuding with Erik Watts (as described above) since he debuted about a month ago. This promo continues the feud between these two and increases the heat, intensity, and interest in the rivalry. PROMO: Abyss - wearing his mask - says that he proved tonight that he was more than comfortable dismantling the "rookie" Erik Watts. He says that he's been watching NWA-TNA's PPVs recently and was disgusted with the way that Watts suddenly burst onto the scene and became such a big shot. He came to NWA-TNA to teach Watts some much needed respect and says taht he succeeded in beginning to do so tonight. He says that he was proud to team with Kid Kash and that he can understand why the fans dislike Kash. He says that Kash has been forced to watch his own back for three different people who've had their eyes on him - Goldylocks, Trinity, and Watts - and that he therefore has been caused to do some things he wouldn't normally want to do (such as beat up women like Goldylocks or Trinity). To sum up his reasons for coming to NWA-TNA, Abyss says that he's here to teach Watts how to pay his dues in this business and to support Kid Kash, who up until now was being targeted non-stop by three different foes. Before he ends his promo, Abyss unmasks and reveals himself as the innovative, former-ECW, WWF/E, and XPW superstar "Vicious" Vic Grimes, who apparently has decided to jump to NWA-TNA due to XPW's recent hiatus! 11. A 10 minute clip of Mike Tenay's interview with STING that was conducted two shows ago is aired. 12. 2 vs. 1 Handicap Match: D'Lo Brown vs. The Harris Brothers (Don Harris & Ron Harris) WHY: D'Lo and AJ Styles were tag team partners a month ago, but now they are bloodthirsty enemies. Even before he won won the NWA World Heavyweight Title two weeks ago in a three-way match that also included Jeff Jarrett and Raven, Styles has squared off with D'Lo a few times. Three and a half weeks ago, they had a teriffic match where D'Lo pulled out several moves that most fans weren't even aware he was able to do! Then, last week, an impromptu brawl between the two resulted in Vince Russo helping Styles beat down D'Lo with a chair. D'Lo has no love loss for Russo, seeing as how one week ago, a snide comment from Russo resulted in D'Lo attacking him, only to then be attacked by Styles. Since The Harris Brothers are both uppercard heels on Russo's side, it seems logical that Russo would use his creative power to book D'Lo in this match. MATCH: The Harris Brothers use their numbers advantage to keep D'Lo in their control for much of the bout, although D'Lo does find some openings and uses them smartly by going on the offense. Nonetheless, he is never able to gain complete control of the match and is always looking behind his back for one of The Harris Brothers to attack him. The finish comes when D'Lo counters a Powerbomb by Don into a Huracanrana and then knocks him out of the ring with a leaping heelkick. He turns around and ducks an incoming Big Boot from Ron and hits him with the Sky High (Rydeen Bomb). He goes for the pin, but AJ Styles runs out, climbs up onto the apron, and distracts both him and the referee. D'Lo gets back up and argues with AJ, but when Styles swings his NWA World Heavyweight Title belt, D'Lo ducks and it hits the referee, knocking him out. D'Lo then, grabs the ring ropes and uses them to catapult Styles into the ring via a sunset flip. He repeatedly punches Styles and then tries to whip him into the ropes, but Styles reverses and whips D'Lo. Ron is back up by this point and because D'Lo is coming right toward him, lifts up his opponent and tries a spinebuster, but D'Lo uses the momentum to swing himself around and drill Ron with a Swinging DDT. Styles then charges at him, but D'Lo knocks him down with a leaping heelkick. However, D'Lo is finally grounded by a running lariat from Don, who has now re-entered the ring. The Harris Brothers now hold D'Lo (each by his arms), while AJ climbs up to the top buckle and prepares to deliver some move onto D'Lo. However, before he can, Jeff Jarrett, runs out, climbs up onto the apron, and pushes AJ off of the top buckle and down onto the ringside concrete below. D'Lo hiptosses Don and then drags Ron towards the ropes and whips him towards the opposite set, causing him to release his hold on his arm in the process. Ron bounces off and attacks with a Big Boot, but D'Lo ducks and he hits Don, knocking him out of the ring. Ron turns back around and charges D'Lo, but receives a Sky High, followed by a Lo' Down (Flying Frog Splash) for the pinfall win by D'Lo! Meanwhile, Jarrett is brawling with Styles in the entrance aisleway. Jarrett delivers The Stroke on Styles onto the NWA World Heavyweight Title, which is laying on the floor. However, when D'Lo wins the match, Jarrett turns his attention to the ring and puts his arms up to celebrate D'Lo's victory. Styles uses that moment intelligently, though, as he grabs his title and runs back to the locker room. Jarrett turns around to see Styles running backstage, but realizes he can't catch up to him, so he goes and celebrates with D'Lo, who has by now exited the ring. The duo of D'Lo and Jarrett head back to the locker room victorious as The Harris Brothers - who has recovered by now - lean over the ring ropes and yell in frustration toward them.

Speaking of Mondo, why wasn't he on the show?

Yeah, but there's a difference between wristlocks and mutilation. Mondo/Messiah got over in EPIC by bleeding buckets, but putting on a solid wrestling match in the process. Hell, I'm fine with having a guy cut another dude open with light tubes - I've seen it plenty of times and I've seen it done in many ways, but htere's more than one way to do it. Instead of just braeking a pane of glass over a guy's head, why not have the guy get punched by the other guy, the othery guy takes the pane, but when he turns his back, his oppoennt superkicks it into his face. Or house about cutting the guy open with the pane by piledriving him on it? I know this has all been done in death matches, including in CZW, and it's how Kanemura, Yamakawa, Honma, etc. converted garbage death matches like Pogo/Onita into matches that had some wrestling in them. Instead of just staple gunning a dude's forehead, have his opponent hold the staple gun against his forehead and then forearm it into his head. Every promotion that uses death matches usually use wrestling moves within them, not just straight out mutilation - they use wrestling to actually execute the mutilation. "As for Bailey, dude's already got a pierced tongue, so he must like having it violated again and again. Of course, when your gimmick is "19 year old with a death wish,"...." LOL I'm looking forward to seeing the tape and seeing Zandig and Messiah finally square off, since they haven't wrestled since Messiah's CZW debut.

That's one thing I think CZW and sometimes (but not as much) IWA-MS goes too far with. In no form whatsoever is that wrestling. At least when New Jack jumps off a balcony or cuts somebody with a sickle, he does it with style, and at least the bumps from earlier in this match were wrestling moves (huracanranas, for example) onto weapons. That's just utterly fucked up, but I do envy them for being able to take that shit, but at the same time, they're risking life by doing that. One can take a rana onto thumbtacks and take precautions not to die. Unless they completely fake it, it's luck that determines if one survives when they're tongue is stapled, since the tongue bleeds more than just about any other bodily organ and it's not utterly uncommon to hear of someone dying from getting their tongue seriously cut. And it sucks that Webb didn't win. He vs. Mondo would've been awesome to see.

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.

The Gathering (Punk/Dinero) vs. Killings/Konnan Credible vs. Killings

Ron Killings, Konnan, & BG James beat Delirious, CB Cane, & Todd Sexton David Young beat 2 Face Intergender tag team match: The Gathering (Julio Dinero & Alexis Laree) beat former-XPW KOTDM Champion Altar Boy Luke & Daisy Haze Unfortunately, Luke was injured during the match. More info on that as it comes.

Speaking of his injury, when is Ki scheduled to be back in NWA-TNA?

It's HouseOfXtreme, not HouseOfPain. When the Raven pic comes up, just scroll down and click on either ENTER SITE or DISCUSSION.

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

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.

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

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.
