No, sorry. If someone can send it to me, that'd be nice because I'm one of Rey Mysterio Jr.'s biggest fans on the planet, and Eddie and Ace ain't bad, either. I got coming up a review of what was a highly anticipated indy match when it happened. Two of the best indy wrestlers go at it for the first and only time. That's the only hint.

Messiah's problem is definitely the opponents because he can work very, very well. Charisma-wise I'm not a fan of him, but he's an absolute workhorse ring-wise, as is Kaos. It's juat a matter of getting them motivated. When you do that, they do great stuff (Kaos vs. Juvi, vs. Hamrick Free Fall, vs. Angel Free Fall, vs. Doring Fallout, anything vs. Supreme, etc.; Messiah vs. Supreme, Sabu, Candido, Mondo, Pain, sometimes Flash, B-Boy, etc.). The more I think about it, I'm really not liking the H8 Club match. For some reason I was thinking Steen was in the match, but he's not and I'm not really a fan of Beef . I think we may end up seeing H8 Club vs. B-Boy & Chris Hero, version 2...

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Hey, sup. Unfortunately, I don't have that match. The Hero tag I DLed offline. I have Sydal/Delirious from KOTDM. I have Ian/Axl from '97 KOTDM, but that's about it for the KOTDM stuff.

I completely remember that. That was the first Sunday Night Heat I ever recapped for TLNWrestling.com. Great story, Dames.

This is my first music video ever. I used Windows Movie Maker. It highlights the often sought-after talents of Brian XL. Please give me any and all feedback, as I'm really looking to improve wherever I can, since I've never made a music video before. What's good, what needs improvement, etc.? Thanks in advance. And I know he sucks, but base feedback on the video, not the wrestler. Thanks. http://s19.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1HDJQ46...KR3KQ3WZ942T57D http://s11.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=20DQ3EM...ZM0Z8H7ETLLEF1F http://s19.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2XTWGB2CT5RQL0BS2IRZQDSSP http://s12.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=16AMHE7...NV16IH24UEZD2ZC http://s12.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=122A5D9...5L0KSLVA53MKZR3

Listen and find out. It's a GREAT interview. To answer your question, though, basically he says that she's not one of the chicks he's screwed the dogshit out of, and that they're cool with each other, but only as friends. And he says he likes her with her clothes on, but wouldn't dare want her with them off because her feet look disgusting and resemble those of a man. Or something to that effect, at least.

Ya, Jannetty has TONS of party stories...stuff about pissing on Elvis' grave, etc....classic...

Ya, I remember reading your recap of that experience. Good stuff, but I think it sounds ilke you were in the minority, as far as how you were accomodated...

Indeed a very good read. Thanks for posting it.

I'm looking to buy the Terry Funk tribute banquet, the one held shortly before Barely Legal. RF Video filmed it, I believe, and a lot of the ECW superstars talked about their memories of Funk. And if on some remote, really off chance Rob Feinstein or someone from his company is reading this, don't even think about trying to report me or something because I've actually bought from RF quite a few times, unlike just about everyone else, and I plan on buying a couple things from them in the future down the road. Hell, I bought from him three weeks ago. So don't even bother. PM me if you're willing to sell a copy.

I was listening to the 11/12/04 edition of the Get in the Ring online audio show, for the main reason that I wanted to hear New Jack be New Jack. For the first 12:00, though, they started talking about the Public Relations Department in WWE, specifically their unwillingness to peacefully co-exist with many wrestling internet shows. It's pretty interesting - they really bring you into the WWE office and explain what the process is for getting clearance to interview WWE wrestlers. It really sucks how strict they are with these policies, especially considering how willing their wrestlers are to do interviews. They tell specific stories about Dean Malenko, Tazz, and William Regal, which were what I really found interesting, and also the hosts compare the WCW and ECW PR departments to the WWE one. It's really self-detrimental because even if a guy's not active, they're gonna be talking about the promotion and in some way or another putting it over. This is the first time I listened (and it's also the first time I've heard someone go into such depth about WWE's policies regarding their wrestler's media endeavors) to this show and it's possible there was a recap or something posted here a month ago, but I doubt it. So, ya, go listen if you're interested. AudioWrestling.com, scroll down a bit and click the link (it's RealPlayer format). http://www.audiowrestling.com/ And hearing the New Jack interview isn't a bad deal, either... "The police was looking for me in New York...and Philly...and Maine...and Connecticut...and Virginia...and North Carolina...Georgia." - New Jack (gotta love New Jack)...not to mention NJ telling us about Francine's feet, who he's "screwed the dogsh*t out of" and who he hasn't, and more)

Steve Corino, Teddy Hart, New Jack, Terry Funk, and Bret Hart's shoots are all great, IMO.

Monty - he's got charisma and is a decent big man, lots of potential Garza - really good all around; one of the few guys they've really done well building up, along with Brown Petey - great lightweight wrestler with an awesome finisher; lots of people consider him a one-move guy, but he's not DDP - nothing special anymore; good on the mic, but not much in the ring Sabu - still holding strong, has a ton of health problems as evidenced by the recent benefit shows, he's not going to be wrestling anymore, save for maybe a couple comeback matches if he's lucky, up until the recent problems, the effort the guy put in every night was absolutely incredible...truly a guy to be respected, if you mean by if he's still good does he still do the table and chair spots that he did in ECW, yes he did still do that hardcore stuff up until the recent influx of injuries

Wooo, didn't know they actually call it the CZW Arena, thought it was the fans, but now that I look on the site they have CZW Arena all over it. That's ridiculous. H8 Club/IWS guys is an interesting pairing, but I dunno about it. Surprising that Kaos is getting the Ironman title shot so early, especially after losing at COD. Sonjay/Shelley looks good, but other than that...the thought of Chris Cash in the same ring as Super Dragon is disturbing, except if it happens hopefully Dragon just beats the living shit out of him. CZW has done a lot better.

LOW KI vs. ELAX – JAPW (4/20/01; Bayonne, NJ) PRE-MATCH: Elax comes out first. You may remember him as a Special K member in ROH for a short while. Here he has a similar gimmick, pretending to be all drugged up or something. Also, he repeatedly switches between this creepy, psychotic laugh (as if he’s Dr. Frankenstein or something) and baby-like whining. Weird combination, if I may say so myself, but it’s certainly funny. Ki is already in the ring. The ring announcer introduces each competitor before Ki cuts a promo, telling Elax that what he’s about to do “isn’t personal…this is business.” THE MATCH: Ki makes the mistake of turning his back and Elax takes out his legs from behind, which is a good strategy when one considers Ki’s kick-oriented offense. Elax focuses on Ki’s left leg (all the while doing that evil laugh) for a couple minutes before lifting him to his feet and beating on him in the corner, even going so far as to try to pull the left leg out of its socket. However, Ki, hops to his feet and drills Elax with an enziguri (which clearly doesn’t connect, but Elax puts forth a good, forward-flip selljob, so I can’t complain), before going to work with some STIFF chops and knee strikes, all the while continuing to sell his leg injury. His attempt at the Tidal Wave (cartwheel roundhouse kick in the corner) is warded off, but he eventually regains control and delivers the Triple Strike kick series. Elax looks to be out cold (and considering that final kick, I don’t blame him one bit), but escapes at 2. Ki scrambles Elax’s brain (or what he has left of one, at least) with seven stiff headbutts before trying a Superplex, but Elax pushes him off and Elax hits a cool Diving Tornado DDT-style Facebuster. Elax actually starts CRYING when he only gets a 2 count, but eventually gains his composure and tries a suplex, which is countered into a really creative/complicated pinning combo for a 2 count. Elax beats Ki to his feet and works on the left leg for a few seconds before dropping him with a DDT. Elax takes 10 seconds just to position Ki’s body correctly, but sort of makes up for it with a nice-looking Moonsault off of the middle buckle (he landed on Ki’s already-injured legs, which was a nice touch), before setting up for his finishing move (“I hope it works,” the kid yells). Ki, though, powers him into the ropes and – over the next minute – lets loose with a bunch of strikes, including some particularly stiff headbutts, forearms, and chops. Elax gets Irish whipped into the ropes and baseball slides through Ki’s legs, only to turn around right into a MEGA forearm, and it’s “lights out” for the future-Special K raver. The referee calls for the bell and Ki picks up the Knockout win. Other officials come in and carry Elax backstage, as Ki stands victorious in the ring. WINNER: Low Ki, via Knockout (7:03) POST-MATCH RAMBLE: I’ve never seen Elax before, not even in ROH, and he was impressive. His actual workrate isn’t tremendous, but his persona is very entertaining and – even more importantly – original. I was also really surprised at how over Ki was – the fans were chanting “Low Ki!” for about ¼ of the match, and this was a year before TNA and ROH were around. And one more thing – Elax played the T.K.O. gimmick really well, not moving one iota, from what I could see. Elax’s acting talent was really impressive throughout this match. MATCH ANALYSIS: Solid work from both guys, in that they incorporated several differing styles – Ki’s stiffness and Elax’s comedy and high-flying – into a sufficiently-developed match. They could’ve actually used more technical sequences, but I guess Elax’s blindside attack prevented that because they didn’t get off to a standard grappling start. Actually, on second thought, there was some submission work by Elax in the opening minutes, so they fitted in a bit of the technical style sufficiently enough. I guess the story here (and it’s notable that they even fit in a story with only seven minutes allotted) would be Ki taking Elax for granted and finding out the hard way that his hyper, off-the-wall persona translated into an unorthodox, relentlessly aggressive attack. Elax’s strategy of focusing on Ki’s left leg was interesting – even though he played a psycho, his assault on the leg was quite methodical. What’s even better, though, is that this plan of attack proved to be a good base for this match because when Ki regained the advantage, he actually had a legitimate reason (that being a thirst for revenge) to stiff his opponent, whereas usually people just accept that physically aggressive nature to be an attribute of his character (and that’s not a bad thing; I’m just pointing out that here, Ki’s moveset actually developed a psychology of its own, in a way). The one thing that could’ve been improved were the counter sequences because a lot of times, the advantage switched off of a simple gut kick punch, rather than any Irish whip sequence or reversal of an attempted move. Also, I would’ve preferred there be a decisive finish, but since Ki already had sold for Elax a ton and – at this time – JAPW was trying to build Ki up as a force to be reckoned with, it’s understandable that they went to the Knockout finish. Overall, this was a relatively basic match, but it was effective because Elax came off as a credible competitor (thanks in large part to Ki’s unselfish willingness to sell the leg attack) against someone who JAPW booker Fat Frank Iadevia could’ve just as easily had squash him in a minute. That’s actually what I expected, going in, so it was a pleasant surprise that even though he didn’t take it easy on his opponent, stiffness-wise, (in fact, two different times Ki lifted Elax’s shirt over his head so that there wouldn’t be a shirt to protect his chest from the chops) Ki gave Elax quite a surprising amount of offensive openings. *1/4. RECOMMENDATION: Nothing way out of the ordinary here, but still worth taking a look at if you can get a hold of it without shelling out too much money. Low Ki fans who are looking for the ultra-competitive stiff-fest (like his ROH Glory By Honor 1 match vs. Samoa Joe) will be disappointed, but those who just seek some hard-hitting ass-kicking by the Brooklyn native will dig this. Cruiserweight Open for the WWE Cruiserweight Title – WWE WrestleMania XX PARTICIPANTS: Chavo Guerrero Jr. © (w/ his father, Chavo “Classic” Guerrero Sr.), Nunzio (formerly Little Guido), Jamie Noble, Akio (formerly Jimmy Yang), Tajiri, Funaki, Shannon Moore, Ultimo Dragon, Billy Kidman, and Rey Mysterio (Jr.) THE RULES: Two wrestlers start the match and all of the other participants surround the ring until a pinfall, submission, count out, or DQ (the signal of an elimination) happens. At that point, the next superstar (the order was determined by a random drawing…or so they say) will enter the ring and will combat the wrestler who advanced from the last round. The match will continue until there is one cruiserweight left standing. He will be awarded (or, if it’s Chavo, retain) the Cruiserweight Title. PRE-MATCH: All of the participants make their entrances, with champ Chavo Jr. coming out first and Rey Mysterio being the last. Charles “Lil’ ’Naitch” Robinson is officiating this contest. THE MATCH: I’m going to rate each round individually and then I’ll take the average of each round to determine the overall rating. ROUND 1 (Shannon Moore vs. Ultimo Dragon): A standard technical exchange start things off, with waistlocks and armringers being exchanged. Ultimo shows off early with a roll-through, a kip-up, and two quick pinfall attempts off of a leg sweep and a backslide, but Moore beats him to his feet and takes control, but several moments later, his Mooregasm (Flying Corkscrew Somersault Body Attack) attempt is dodged and he receives a spinkick to the chest and an Ultimo DDT (3/4 Bulldog Facelock into a Backflipping Inverted DDT), as Ultimo advances. (about 1:20 in length) *1/2. Ridiculous. ROUND 2 (Ultimo Dragon vs. Jamie Noble): Noble blindsides Ultimo and gets a 2 count off of a lariat, but Ultimo ends up coming back with another series of stiff kicks for his own near fall. Ultimo lands on his feet when Noble rolls out of the way of his Moonsault and throws another spinkick to the chest, but his Ultimo DDT is countered into a Snap Neckbreaker, after which Noble applies a Grounded Bodyscissors/Front Facelock combo for the submission victory. (1:00) 1/4* This must be some kind of bad joke… ROUND 3 (Jamie Noble vs. Funaki): Funaki enters right away with a Flying Crossbody Block, but Noble rolls through for the quick pin. (let’s just say the single-digit seconds) The worst part is how Michael Cole tries to play off this horrible booking so innocently. A rating isn’t applicable here, since it was so short. ROUND 4 (Jamie Noble vs. Nunzio): Nunzio has second thoughts about blindsiding Noble and tries to make up with his storyline cousin, only to receive a couple of strikes. They go through some waistlock reversals before Nunzio takes Noble down into a victory roll for a 2 count. A sweet Japanese Dropkick (to the face) from the middle turnbuckle follows from Nunzio, but a few moments later, Noble uses a leverage move to send Nunzio flying out to ringside onto his bare back. Noble follows with a huge Flying Somersault Plancha before yanking Nunzio off of the apron as he tries to re-enter the ring, sending him face-first onto the cold, hard, concrete floor (sweet bump). Noble rolls back into the ring and actually lets Robinson count Nunzio out. (about 1:50) *3/4. Considering the lame finish, this really should be only ½*, but I’m bumping it up a notch because Nunzio took some sick bumps. ROUND 5 (Jamie Noble vs. Billy Kidman): Kidman runs in and attacks Noble, but within a minute, Nunzio gets involved and gives his cousin a taste of his own medicine by dropping him face-first on the floor. Next, Kidman takes out both guys with a decent-looking Shooting Star Plancha, but it’s clear that he’s got nothing over A.J. Styles. After a 2 count back in the ring, Noble reverses Kidman’s Powerbomb into a Standing Bodyscissors/Front Facelock combo. Kidman breaks the hold up by ramming Noble into the corner and then proceeds to toss him high over into the air with a sweet Release Northern Lights Suplex. A climbing enziguri sets up for the Shooting Star Press and when Noble meets Kidman up top, it’s time for a Super B.K. Bomb (Sitout Spinebuster), and Noble is out. (about 1:50 again) ¼*. Borderline ½*, but I gave the benefit of the doubt to the previous match, so this isn’t getting any leeway. ROUND 6 (Billy Kidman vs. Rey Mysterio): Kidman turns around right into a Springboard High Lou Thesz Press, but in a nice sequence, climbs right back up to his feet and catches Rey with a big dropkick for a deuce as he comes off the ropes. Actually, that right there was shades of A.J. Styles’ dropdown/dropkick combo. Mysterio finds an opening by dropkicking his former-Filthy Animals partner out to ringside, but Chavo Jr. climbs up onto the apron and distracts the referee, while Akio attacks Mysterio. That allows Kidman to re-enter and deliver a Rydeen-style Spinebuster (B.K. Bomb variation, I guess) for another near fall, as Rey actually kicks out! Then, both guys meet up top and Rey finishes Kidman off with a non-seesaw-style Code Red (Sunset Flip Sitdown Powerbomb). (1:20) ½*. ROUND 7 (Rey Mysterio vs. Tajiri): Mysterio absorbs two stiff kicks and Tajiri dodges an attempted Quebrada before locking in the Tarantula. However, Mysterio scouts his Handspring/Backspring Elbow combo by dropkicking his opponent’s back before hitting the 619. After Mysterio’s springboard West Coast Pop attempt is dodged, Akio climbs up onto the apron and holds him for Tajiri to spit the green mist at, but Mysterio ducks and Tajiri sprays Akio. A victory roll by Mysterio keeps Tajiri down for the 3 count. (1:05) ¼*. ROUND 8 (Rey Mysterio vs. Chavo Guerrero Jr.): Akio is now temporarily blinded and therefore unable to compete, so we skip right to the final round, with the defending champ, Chavo. However, before that match can start, Tajiri cheapshots Rey with a big kick to the side of the head, behind Robinson’s back. Chavo hustles into the ring and obtains a 2 count before beating on Rey for a bit, before Rey comes back with a sweet Springboard Huracanrana (sans a ‘rana pin combo, however). When Chavo Sr. climbs up onto the apron, Rey dropkicks him back down to ringside and then proceeds to catapult off of Charles Robinson’s back for a Somersault Plancha onto the Mexican legend! Rey tries to re-enter the ring with a catapult sunset flip, but Chavo holds his shoulders down and grabs his father’s hands for assisted leverage (without Robinson seeing, mind you), which is enough to get the 1-2-3 and retain the Cruiserweight Title. (about 1:30) ¼* for Rey’s Springboard Huracanrana and Somersault Plancha. WINNER and STILL WWE Cruiserweight Champion: Chavo Guerrero Jr. (w/ his father, Chavo “Classic” Guerrero Sr.) (total time from starting bell to closing bell – 10:31) Chavo immediately rolls out of the ring and celebrates with his father, while Rey is left fuming in the ring. POST-MATCH RAMBLE: The only thing that really struck me outside of any spots was the bumps that Chavo Sr. took during his son’s match with Mysterio. Otherwise, this was a crapfest from a booking sense. MATCH ANALYSIS: While this match got a slightly improved as time progressed, it still exemplified the horrid booking that has plagued the Cruiserweight division ever since Dean Malenko retired and Essa Rios was released in 2001. The fact that not ONE match lasting over a mere 2:00 prevented any degree of believability or any actual story from developing. The only things that saved it from being a complete and utter travesty were Noble’s three-match string, Nunzio’s bump-taking, the Guerreros’ entertainment value, and a couple of random athletic spots. Everything was so rushed here, which is surprising because WWE usually has no problem leaving someone on the sidelines and just not using them when they have nothing for them to do (see Stevie Richards, Mark Jindrak, Mizark Hizenry, Scotty 2 Hotty, etc.). Here, they made the mistake of actually trying to fit too many guys on a card and ended up cramming them all into one train-wreck of a match. There’s not really anything else uniquely insightful to say about this match – when there are nine different top-notch cruiserweights going at it in various combinations, there’s bound to be a couple of creative sequences and spots. These gems in a puddle of mud were what got this match a *, not any sort of consistency or psychology. Otherwise, it was pretty much crap. Not including the Noble/Funaki match, the ratings average out to 2/5*. By the way, the best match of the series was Jamie Noble vs. Nunzio at a stunning (and generously-awarded) ¾*. RECOMMENDED: Unless you’re absolutely obsessed with the WWE cruiserweight division (in which case my recommendation is that you schedule an appointment with your local brain surgeon), this is definitely “fast forward” material.

I assume you mean Pogo the Clown? He doesn't really wrestle anymore, and he has a little bit of heat with Kevin Kleinrock, so SCCW wouldn't be a possibility for him. He's doing some light work with Mike Modest and Donovan Morgan in terms of helping train Pro Wrestling Iron guys, but he's not really concerned with wrestling all that much.

Apparently he is not over his So Cal loss to Supreme back on XPW's final So Cal show in 2003! So, after consideration, SCCW has granted Ian his request and will allow him to participate in the tournament. Apparently he's not the only wrestler from IWA Mid South who is looking to prove their deathmatch worth for the So Cal fans, but perhaps we will find out more about this on Saturday night, January 15th. Plus, a ground-breaking wrestling documentary will be filmed in Los Angeles over the weekend and the SCCW show will be featured heavily. Don't miss your chance to be part of this historic night. We were able to get a better feel for the venue at the New Japan show and have released a few additional 3rd row seats. However, we will only be selling 400 tickets to the show (25% already reserved) and with the upcoming advertising for the event, we encourage the loyal SoCalUncensored fans to reserve their seats now.

Here's another review for you people who just haven't read enough. http://www.declarationofindependents.net/d...iews/dxsex.html

Ya, I know. Actually, now that I think about it, it's not very surprising they paired him up with Rebel, since they've worked together a few times in CCW.

Aries winning is a shocker. About Devon Moore - he's a talented kid. Works in CCW and a couple other PA feds. Very, very athletic lightweight. Interesting that they matched him up vs. Rebel.

Thanks a ton, GreatWhite and Deon.

Ya, besides that, I mean, it would work fine, right?

One can play a VCD without any special type of player, right? All that's necessary is something like Windows Media Player and a VCD would play fine on a computer, right?
