I have a thread going in the General Wrestling section, where I review random matches. So far I've reviewed Tajiri vs. Low Ki, AJ Styles vs. Teddy Hart, some TNA, CZW, IWA-MS, and more.

That explains the 136 IWS guys on the show, with SMV and IWS' relationship and all. All of the IWS guys were already booked for the show before Burns returned, and the last show without him had tons of IWS guys, so it's safe to say that Burn's "return" had nothing to do with the IWS prominence on last night's show. That philosophy was set long before Burns came back.

But how do I reinstall it after I've uninstalled it?

Jeff Hardy vs. Owen Hart (1995 RAW): http://s3.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0IT3RC29ZHUAY0G3Q63QLCW4QQ

Thanks for the quick reply. I typed in the message exactly as it appears on the above image and searched for that message and got no results. I put quotes at the beginning and end and I left quotes out and both times, no results came up. How do I go about uninstalling it, and once/if I uninstall it, how do I reinstall it? Do I just to Add/Remove Program, or something different? Thanks again.

It's worked fine for me ever since I got it, but all of a sudden yesterday I started getting this screen when I opened it up. I've restarted my computer multiple times, right clicked on the Mozilla Firefox icon on my desktop and scanned it for viruses (none came up), etc. and I keep getting this same screen. Does anybody know what I can do to make it go back to normal?

I'm sure they meant his son.

I'll up Styles/Hurricane and Sabu/Scorpio when I get a chance.

This doesn't seem to be getting through you - Rebel was WITH the company when I interviewed him. And he stayed with the company for almost a year. If he was disgruntled, there was a REASON for his disgruntlement. And you think you said, "I don't even know much about you aside from what others told me, and they all have told me you're a bitter XPW fan who would always complain about CZW during the Philly wars." Self-admittedly, you don't know anything about me, yet you're calling me a hypocrite. Get real. My info is firsthand when it comes to the Rebel info. The Backseats info is secondhand. They have something to gain from making CZW look good on the Internet - namely, continuing to get booked by Zandig. If they bash him, they're not exactly going to get booked by him, and for some guys he's one of their few bookings. Now keep on making stuff up and we'll get somewhere. You've lost all credibility with me. At least the little credibility I DO have with people, I make sure to KEEP. They still get ENORMOUS pops when they come out. Bigger pops than most of the wrestlers. They're assuredly still quite over. You said you talked to wrestlers. Now you say behind-the-scenes people. None of the wrestlers do major behind-the-scenes stuff. Coupled with your insistence that you didn't bring up my XPW bias when in fact you did, I have trouble believing you here. WOW. Talk about completely disregarding somebody's point. If your delusion wasn't obvious before, it sure is now. It's called "online interviews." You know...Trash Talking Radio, The Interactive Interview, Between The Ropes, Xtreme Mayhem Radio, and textual interviews by ChicagoWrestling.com, DOI, WrestlingObserver.com, and other places. I don't have talked to these guys. When they constantly put over Rebel in interviews after knowing him for over 10 years, their words become pretty damn credible, unlike some CZW kool aid drinker who is siding against Rebel because it's the cool thing to do. Maybe you should try to contact the guys I mentioned and see what they say. I could gladly hook you up with Blue Meanie, Hamrick, and Corino's contact info and could connect you with somebody who could in turn hook you up with Credible. I assure you that all four of the guys would be glad to talk to you, even though you're just a fan, because you're asking about somebody who's a dear friend to all of them. But you don't have any intention to follow through with this because you're not willing to be accountable for what you say, because it's gotta be the gospel. Don't make me out as having started this thing. I posted my OPINIONS on the CZW card and you came back and dissected EVERYTHING I wrote, sentence-for-sentence. You began this - I'm just defending my points. And somebody can come into this thread and bring up my XPW bias like you have and say that I'm not credible, but the fact is I've been completely reasonable in what I've said here.

- Sabu turned down a contract offer in 1993. He worked two dark matches vs. Owen Hart and one vs. Scott Taylor (Scotty 2 Hotty) and Vince offered him a contract, but to Vince's shock, he said no because he wanted to help out the upstart ECW, which hadn't even turned into Extreme Championship Wrestling by that point. - New Jack was contacted to be brought in in 1998 for the Nation of Domination angle, but the deal fell through. - RVD & Sabu vs. Tommy Dreamer & Sandman was rumored to be booked for SummerSlam '97, but obviously never happened.

TRANSLATION: People do bring up very valid points about your XPW bias, but here you've made a lot of valid points about CZW and I have no way of contradicting them. There's no need for hypocrites around here. Don't go telling me I get secondhand info on CZW and then tell me that all you know about me is "from what others told me." That's bullshit. And also, there's no point in holding stuff that happened three years ago against me. Then start wawtching them more closely and you'll see that the fans have absolutely loved The H8 Club for the past three years. It will give me a MUCH better idea of what's going on than your talking to current midcard guys who work there once a month, considering Rebel did all the business deals, interacted with Zandig on a daily - rather than monthly (like the guys you probably talk to) - basis, and had been with CZW for four - rather than six months or a year - years, like the guys you proabbly talk to. Why don't you go ask the aforementioned veterans I named who've been in the business for years and who've seen the politics firsthand and can thereby relate to Rebel's frustration. Go ask Chris Hamrick, Blue Meanie, Justin Credible, Steve Corino, and the other guys who've done something worth a shit in this business about Rebel and they'll all tell you he's a stand-up guy in a business full of arrogant assholes. You don't know what you're talking about when you call Rebel arrogant. I'm not bothering with the Acid/Kashmere arrogance statements because I'm not concerned with them and I've never talked to them.

EWR Heavyweight Title Match: “The Fallen Angel” CHISTOPHER DANIELS vs. “Mr. Wrestling” KEVIN STEEN © (Elite Wresting Revolution “Revolution 1.0” – 4/10/04; Canada) posted on Saturday, February 5, 2005 PRE-MATCH: The camera opens with a “Fallen Angel” chant and the fans get their wish, as out pops Christopher Daniels for one of his very rare appearances in Canada, to the screams of Marilyn Manson’s “Disposable Teens.” EWR puts forth some AWESOME lighting effects that really give you the feel that you’re watching Daniel’s entrance in ROH (which is also known for the live production aspect, especially as far as lighting goes). The lights come back on and Daniels dramatically removes the priest’s hood… Actually, before I go any further, here’s a funny story – more than seven years ago, Daniels got the priest’s robe from a church in California, which he told he was “borrowing” it. I remember Daniels saying on an appearance for TheInteractiveInterview.com something to the effect of, “Technically, I didn’t steal it because I’m still borrowing it [chuckle]…” Gotta love Chris… Anyway, Daniels pulls off the hood as the lights go back to normal, and then enters the ring to an enormous ovation and starts playing up his star power. A “Daniels!” chant erupts and it’s clear that he’s going to be playing the face here. Out next is the up-and-coming “Mr. Wrestling” Kevin Steen, a 19 year old technical wrestling sensation throughout Canada. The awesome lighting effects return as Drowning Pool’s “Tear Away” signals the entrance of Daniels’ opponent and the defending EWR Heavyweight Champion. While he’s the heel in this match, the fans respond decently to Steen, but as soon as the music is turned off, a strong “Daniels!” chant develops. Some fans try to fire up a “Steen!” chant, but it doesn’t gain nearly as much steam as the one for Daniels did. Some black-haired chick makes the introductions. Daniels embraces his big cheers, but Steen – on the other hand – could care less about the chorus of boos with which the fans respond to his intro. Funny, since it’s almost always the other way around when Christopher Daniels is involved in the match. Anyway, though, the “Daniels!” chant resurfaces, only to – in an awesome thing to hear – turn into dueling “Mr. Wrestling!” vs. “Fallen Angel” chant. It seems like – although the fans hate Steen – they find this match unusually appealing (just as I do). THE MATCH: The dueling chants continue to flood the venue as Daniels and Steen step up face-to-face. Some trash-talking goes on for a good 20 seconds and the chants even remain as they finally square off. When nobody gains control via the first four tieups, the dueling chants return. This is INTENSE. Finally, they actually start the wrestling part, with shoulderblocks by each guy failing to put his opponent down. More dueling chants, as Steen plays up his heel persona beautifully. Ohhhhh, and I thought it was intense before…now THIS is some TRASH-TALKING~!, baby…more dueling chants, as it appears Steen is gradually winning some people’s respect by refusing to back down from his veteran adversary. This is truly a sight to see…the fans are really split right down the middle here. The camera even pans out in different directions to show fans raving for their favorite. Tieup – some armwringers and wristlocks are exchanged before Daniels does a roll-through and trips Steen to the mat for a grounded headlock. Steen plays around a bit before countering to his own side headlock, which is met by boos. Daniels gradually fights to his feet (the fact that he’s not rushing up proves just how great he is) and creatively takes Steen back down to the mat judo-style. While working some basic ground submission, Daniels becomes noticeably perplexed by another weird chant – “Where’s your [inaudible – sounded like Humvees or something…]?” You’re not alone, Chris…Now a “Sorry!” chant goes out to Daniels and it looks like he’s accepting of it (thumbs up, etc.). We’re only five minutes in and this match is f*cking hilarious and scientifically solid at the same time. Steen bridges up to a standing position and counters to a hammerlock as the fans fight over “Let’s go, Steen!” and “Let’s go, Daniels!” chants. Eventually, Daniels reverses back to a headlock, but Steen escapes with a counter so innovative that I can’t even describe it. Using only his own strength (Daniels didn’t help one bit), he flipped himself up and over Daniels’ body and applied a front facelock on his adversary. Pure awesomeness. Daniels armringers out and hammerlocks Steen, only to receive another great counter, this one to a headlock. Applause rains throughout the building like Lita blowjobs backstage at an OMEGA Reunion Show. Oops… Anyway, Daniels forces Steen into the ropes and gets shoulderblocked down. A cool minute-long segment sees them do an Irish whip sequence that ends with Steen slapping the taste out of the “Fallen Angel”’s mouth. Then an irate Daniels starts chasing Steen around the ring and they end up back in the ring again, where they repeat the same sequence. However, this time, Daniels ducks the slap and responds with A SLAP OF EPIC F*CKING PROPORTIONS!!!! THIS IS FUCKING GREAT!!!!! “Holy Sh*t!” is right, fans! Steen regains his composure before charging into a pair of armdrags and a grounded abdominal armbar. Daniels works over the arm and taunts the initiating party of a small “F*ck you, Daniels!” chant by further wrenching in on an armbar (dueling chants all the while). Daniels ends a Steen comeback before it begins with a beautiful Northern Lights Suplex, rolled into another grounded armbar variation. Perhaps rallied by the “Fallen” Angel vs. “Mr. Wrestling” chants, Steen gradually climbs to his feet. Daniels refuses to let go of the armbar and finally Steen has to push him into the ropes to escape it. Steen leapfrogs over the ROH superstar, only to turn around into another armdrag and armbar. Shortly therafter, another Irish whip sequence is performed, with Daniels cartwheeling over a dropdown and delivering a hiptoss followed by a dropkick. Steen is at ringside and a “Dive!” chant makes itself heard. Daniels’ baseball slide is dodged, but his Arabian Press Suicida is not! Daniels proceeds to mingle with the fans for a little bit before going back to work, as the fans chant his nickname. He re-enters with a Flying Crossbody Block for a deuce, only to stumble into a Steen powerslam. Both guys sell the damage as the referee counts. Eventually, Steen is back up and nails a leaping heelkick for 2, which frustrates him into following up aggressively with a backdrop suplex, two running snap leg drops, and the coup-de-grâs – a running somersault leg drop – but obtains the same result. Following a strike exchange, Daniels drops out of a bodyslam attempt and schoolboys Steen for 2, only to find himself on the receive end of a Belly-to-Belly Overhead Suplex and a Tilt-a-Whirl Backbreaker moments later. Steen applies the Sharpshooter and Daniels struggles like a hero before finally attaining the rope break. Steen starts resorting to a bunch of heel tactics and executes a nice variation of the Shotgun followed by a Springboard Dropkick for a deuce, as the contesting chants return. The fans tell Steen to “f*ck him up” and Steen gladly obliges with a nice Death Valley Driver for another 2 count. I can’t believe the emotion that I’m seeing and hearing from the fans. Steen goes into full heel mode by taunting Daniels and you can catch some pretty blatant whispering of directions by Steen (one of the few flaws in this match). Back to the action, as Steen tries a back body drop, but Daniels stops short and nails the STO. Both guys are down and the ref begins the 10 count, as heated chance for both men can be heard. Daniels unloads with punches, chops, a back body drop, a lariat, and an enziguri, but refuses to give the fans what they want to see (“Best Moonsault Ever” chant), instead opting for a Blue Thunder Bomb. After the 2 count, a “Moonsault!” chant develops. Steen drops out of a suplex attempt and ducks a lariat, which leads directly into a short – yet very sweet – reversal sequence into a DDT by Steen. The defending champ drapes an arm over Daniels for 2. A Sitdown Powerbomb follows for the same result and…get this…Steen tries the “Best Moonsault Ever,” but Daniels – not about to be humiliated by his own trademark– rolls out of the way and Steen crashes onto the mat. What the hell?!?! They clipped this beauty?!?! Are you kidding me?!?! Damn!!!! Anyway, though, we cut right to Daniels nailing his Uranage-style Chokeslam, and now it’s time for the BEST MOONSAULT EVER~![/u]. Daniels hits the mark, but Steen kicks out at 2. Daniels can’t believe it. Steen surprises Daniels with a backslide for 2 and then Daniels La Majistrals for the same result. Steen charges Daniels, but Daniels does a double-leg takedown and they exchange multiple pinning combos over an approximately 15 second period. Finally, Daniels takes the upperhand with some forearm strikes. He sits Steen up top as dueling chants fill the venue. They fight over a Superplex and Steen pushes Daniels down to the mat at one point, but the “Fallen Angel” runs right back up and the struggle continues. Finally, Steen (facing the ring) cradles Daniels’ legs and – as the fans chant “Match of the Year!” – executes a FLYING FISHERMANBUSTER~! off of the middle turnbuckle! Holy sh*t! (the fans echo the same sentiments) I’ve never seen that before… Over a really heated 35-second period of time, the two struggle to their feet and exchange blows, selling brilliantly all the while. Then, all of a sudden, Daniels starts unloading with thrust punches (Terry Funk-style) and – even better – headbutts, knocking his own head cuckoo in the process. Steen suddenly throws a superkick, but Daniels ducks down and the referee gets knocked out. Then, the two start fighting over a backslide, with neither getting it and Daniels eventually hitting the Angel’s Wings. He covers, but there’s no referee to count. The fans actually start counting and get up to almost 10 before Daniels abandons the cover and tries to revive the ref. After succeeding, he sets up for the Last Rites, but Steen escapes via a snapmare and proceeds to low blow Daniels, setting up for his finisher – The Package Piledriver – for the rather anti-climactic victory. WINNER and STILL EWR Heavyweight Champion: KEVIN STEEN, via pinfall (24:58, including the clipjob, so it was probably a little bit over 25:00) POST-MATCH: Steen is exhausted and can barely stand. The referee gives him his title and he celebrates with his music playing, before heading towards the backstage area. He stops at the top of the entrance stage and climbs up onto a ladder to hold up his title. The second clip of the match, as we fast forward to Daniels regaining his senses as the fans chant his name. His Marilyn Manson music hits again and the black-haired chick announces him on the mic to put him over. The camera pans around the venue to show many of the fans doing “bow-down” motions and chanting “Thank You!” to Daniels. He celebrates on the top turnbuckle and suddenly turns around and sees Kevin Steen at the same time that the camera pans out and shows him to the viewers at home. Holy sh*t. That was an awesome filming technique. Steen drops down to his knees and bows to Daniels like he’s a king before proceeding to stand up and hold out his hand. Daniels hesitates, looking around at the fans. Finally, Daniels gives in and they shake, hug, and finally, in a great moment, Daniels holds up Steen’s hand, effectively passing the torch. Daniels doesn’t want to be over-pampered and it looks like he’s praising Steen very strongly, but Steen wants none of it and actually holds open the ring ropes for Daniels to step through. However, just as it appears he’s about to, we get another clip-job and Daniels is standing at the top of the entranceway, while Steen is still in the ring. Daniels salutes the fans before heading backstage, and Steen follows him a few moments later. POST-MATCH RAMBLE: I’m being God honest here – that has to be one of the coolest “normal” entrances (i.e. excluding HBK’s entrance at WrestleMania XII) I’ve ever seen anyone make, especially an indy wrestler. The lighting effects, mixed with the perfect volume on the Manson song, the fans’ obvious adoration of Daniels, and the “Fallen Angel” himself’s brilliant reaction to their cheers. THE FANS’ REACTIONS: Unreal. I have yet to see the epic Chris Hero vs. Samoa Joe from IWA Mid-South where the fans were said to be going apesh*it the entire match (although I do have the tape and just started watching it a few days ago, so chances are I’ll see the match within the next week or so), but I have trouble believing that they were more hyped than the fans were for this showdown. ANALYSIS: I straight out loved this match. Just about everything worked great. The matwork to start was exceptionally fluid, but even better, it wasn’t rushed and was provided sufficient time to develop. The holds that they used during that part of the match were very basic – primarily armbars and variations of such – but their facial expressions added a believability aspect to their already compelling selljobs. This aspect – the believability – was one of the main strong points of this match. During the opening 10 minutes of matwork, both guys stayed consistent in targeting their opponents’ arm, rather than straying away to the legs and never reminding you what they had been working on previously. Unlike you often see with inexperienced indy guys, these two kept selling their pain more and more as the match progressed. Daniels’ lengthy advantage during the first third or so made it actually mean something when Steen took control. The comedy bits such as Daniels’ big slap were interspersed at intelligent intervals, so it never degenerated into a simple comedy match but instead retained a special feel all the while. Some of the spots lacked any transitioning (namely Steen’s Death Valley Driver and Daniels’ Blue Thunder Bomb), but those ended up as minimal faults in an otherwise tremendous performance. Otherwise, the offense – for the most part – stayed pretty basic, but what made the match so good is the sequence of those moves and the selling in between them, along with – of course – the amazing intensity. Daniels’ great pacing and aforementioned selling excellence helped put Steen over as a guy who the fans can hate, but at the same time a legitimate champion. I will admit that the fans’ reaction helped this match out a lot and made it into a great match, but it was already a damn good match, even without the crowd aspect. ***1/2. RECOMMENDATION: This is definitely a match to check out, if you’re a fan of independent wrestling. The intensity was absolutely off the hook here, resulting in type of a fan participation that added a whole different level to the match. It’s one thing to watch a great match; it’s another thing to watch a great match with the fans going apesh*t, which is what happened here. Highly recommended.

On my version (both the computer version and my VHS), the quality was great and the synching between the audio and hte picture was great, too. However, from what I've heard, I'd go with the recent Chris Candido shoot over the Sabu shoot. Candido's shoot is four and a half hours while Sabu's is 2, and Candido's is said to be absolutely amazing, as far as his honesty on issues.

I know more about the inner workings of CZW than you do, that's for sure. I've done interviews with Rebel. Fuck, I've talked to John Zandig a number of times. Tell me you've done the same. You haven't. SoCalTF can bring up my XPW obsession all he wants, but the facts speak for themselves - I know what I'm talking about. ultfistgut - I interviewed Rebel a year before he was gone from CZW.

They've already put The H8 Club over small guys for four whole years - the Lost Boyz, The Briscoes, the Backseat Boyz, and more. CZW's horrible booking was exemplified by them turning Gage at COD6 and ending the Old H8 Club vs. new H8 Club storyline after 2 or something months. Nobody gives a shit what you think about The H8 Club. I'll go by the reaction of the hundreds of people who pop when "Voodoo" hits the loud speakers over some guy on the Internet claiming that Nick Gage and Nate Hatred aren't good for the CZW product. I have the tapes, too. Kaos signs could easily be seen in the crowd and the pops he got the first two shows were huge. That's a fact. Judging by your assessment that The H8 Club are useless, you DON'T have any CZW tapes, so your word means nothing. The 384626 ECW guys were no longer ECW guys. They all needed work. XPW gave them that. WCW was dead, too. There's nothing to bitch about when guys are trying to get wrestling gigs after their previous gigs fell through. They never had 12 CHIKARA guys on one show. They do have 6, 7, 8 IWS guys on a show. That is not a CZW show. That is an IWS/CZW show. CHIKARA and IWS are active promotions. I take back what I said about The Backseat Boyz being two of the most over guys in CZW history. Trent Acid was one of the most over guys in CZW history, but Kashmere wasn't. Acid was over like a motherfucker in 2003-2004. Did you see the ovation he got at Overdrive during the confrontation with Teddy Hart. Nobody gives more of a shit about Zandig than Acid. Acid is WAY more over than Zandig and always has been. Frank Iadevaia, when he began booking a 16 year old Trent Acid while he was still in high school, and giving him a chance when every other promoter out there was saying that you're too small. The CZW fans. CZW didn't even PAIR UP Acid & Kashmere initially. They were booking Kashmere and fucking ROBBY MIRENO as a team. That's asinine. When Acid and Kashmere were given the chance to team up, they went FAR AND BEYODN the call. They started as jobbers and their promos, Acid's workrate, their charisma, and their teamwork was high and away beyond everyone else on every show. They made themselves. Zandig didn't. They left CZW when Zandig started booking untrained students over them. They left CZW when Zandig started letting his personal depression problems affect his business. They left CZW when Zandig started saying "Fuck the TV show" and airing "Fake You TV"'s with horribly lazy editing jobs. They left CZW when Zandig started lying to his boys. They left CZW when Zandig started limiting where they could and could not work. They left CZW when Zandig started acting snobbish to them and everyone else on the CZW roster. Yeah, I guess you could say they left CZW when things didn't go their way. Your "point" is bullshit. Don't you dare blame Rockin Rebel for CZW's shitty product ever since coming to Viking Hall. That's fucking bullshit and you know it. The only people with booking power in that company are Zandig. The storylines are his decision; he fucked up the Viking Hall run with the help of nobody else. With pleasure - Derek Frazier, Nick Berk, Danny Rose, Adam Flash, Ric Blade, Greg Matthews, Z-Barr, and many others. If you're too ignorant to notice, that's all of Rebel's Army and some top midcard guys. According to virtually everyone in the business, Rebel is one of the most humble, least egotistical performers on the indy circuit. Your pairing him in with Acid and Kashmere's attitudes is done solely out of ignorance because you don't know what the fuck you're talking about. You haven't met Rebel. You don't know him. You don't know him like Chris Hamrick, Blue Meanie, Justin Credible, Steve Corino, and the many, MANY others who've put him over as one of the nicest guys in the business know him. Here's John Zandig, a guy who followed Paul Heyman around for years and demanded that he get a shot in ECW and then when he realized he wasn't a good worker, he made his own promotion. Your claim of being a CZW fan who knows about and keeps up with the product is hilarious because you obviously don't know a damn thing about it.

So, now they even added Shelley vs. Eddy vs. Quack vs. Arsenal. That's ANOTHER IWS guy. And you're telling me that's not overkill? Get real.

H8 Club: So what? They've been the most over guys in the company for four years. Now they're being booked against IWS comedians and AMIL. Hero: pairing him with Zandig is a HORRIBLE idea. Kaos: the pop he got for his debut was huge, and there were TONS of Kaos fans and "Kaos" signs for his match vs. Messiah. Ya, like three or four guys from each of those feds. With IWS, they have seven or eight. That's way overkill. That's why they were two of the most over guys in CZW history. It wasn't that they didn't care about CZW. It was that CZW - specifically John Zandig - didn't care for them. If he gave a shit about him, he would've paid Johnny more than $50 for helping produce one of the most violent matches in wrestling history at Unf'nbelievable. And he will also be the guy who got Nate Hatred into CZW, the guy who allowed them to run at Viking Hall, and the guy who convinced countless guys to give Zandig another chance after he treated them like pieces of shit. Rebel is a great businessman and CZW lost a lot when they lost him. I'm willing to concede here. I still enjoyed CKNY more, but Blackout was good, too. And now he's being booked against an IWS debutee. B-Boy has sunk rather than risen in the past year. He used to be one of the most over guys on the roster. He's still an attraction, but not nearly as over as he used to be. Not by a long shot. Judging by the reaction I've received, a lot more people care about it than 7. Yeah, you do see why - Trent and Johnny brought the ladies and Rebel brought the contacts AND the money. Without Rebel, Zandig is a manic depressent with as much business savy as a coked up Paul Heyman. Forget I even wasted my breath.
