Placebo Effect

Yes!!!!!! No more El Leon on XPlosion! Well, that is until Apollo grows stale two weeks from Wednesday and starts appearing.

Holy shit, it's Xplosion, not XPlosion? This is like Monty and Monte for Christ's sake. AJ Styles vs. Jarelle Clark and a Sonjay Dutt match is where is pays to be the Xplosion reporter for 411. Thus the reason why a certain wrestling journalist (I have no idea who he's even talking about) would want to slam him. It's one thing to play up shit storyline wise, but the word GREAT makes him out to be nothing more than a promotional fucktard.

From what I've read in one of the mark magazine two years ago, along with comments from Styles himself, Paris just doesn't have the drive anymore. He'll occasionally work a Georgia indy, but that's the extent of his plans.

IT'S PEOPLE! KFC IS PEOPLE!

Wow. That is an awesome column. I commend him for vountarily giving out all this information. It sheds a whole new light on much of the industry.

I'd never heard that theory before, but seeing as how the booking went down, I can believe it.

Didn't their lead singer die? Man, third time I've answered this question in this folder. Shows you how much effort Wind-Up has put into getting the new effort publicized. They remaining members took an extensive break, but are now back together with a new singer. He doesn't sound too bad, though I can imagine DP is going to be going a little more harder now that nu metal is rapidly decaying. It'll be, I don't know, odd, to hear Dave's stuff sung by the new guy.

I can't imagine Brock having a hard time remembering plays when you consider that most WWE guys layout their matches prior to going into the ring, especially with a young guy like Brock. He probably memorized every facet of that Iron Man Match prior to it.

I'm going for Drowning Pool, though admittedly, I really should just wait for them to do a headlining tour.

Listen to the whole Billy Talent album. I can't wait until Warped Tour, simply because of them and Lennon.

Hmm... I've been to probably sixty shows in the past year and a half, but haven't done many festivals. Y100 Feztival 1998 (?)... All I remember was Luscious Jackson, Richard Cheese, and Offspring. Y100 Feastival 2002 - Ummm... Seether. Ozzfest 2002... I was in the parking lot until Drowning Pool came on. Ozzfest 2003... Twisted Method was on first. Warped Tour 2003... No fucking idea. I've been backstage at half the shows I go to. I've met just about any (non scream/thrash) metal band that you can think of, minus guys like Linkin Park who got big before I started shooting shows.

I doubt one exists. Your best bet would be to compile your own collection from EBay. While only a select few sellers will scan the back, you can probably get nearly every cover within a few weeks.

I can totally picture the delivery of a line like this from Guido or 3D on a JCW tape. If they want to come back every four months for a month at a time, I'm up for it. For the most part, their matches/segments aren't terrible, especially compared to the shows TNA was putting on a two months ago.

Wow, that was terrible. The majority of it is making fun of Rob for being gay rather than a pedophile. Homophobia rocks!

Will Bret will be added to Teddy's Shit List?

The domain name was created in January of 2003....

Ohhh shit. I remember that Thunder. They come back from a commercial break, with a lead-in being a toy commercial where Nash was pinned. Nash: "Man, I even do a job in the toy commercial." For whatever reason, right before Russo came in someone in the WCW Production department suddenly began producing these badass Meng videos that would air before he came out. So Meng squashes the jobber and Nash says something to the extent of, "You know he had no chance because Meng had a video package."

While not necessarily a shoot comment, I loved this one during a WWA PPV. It's Disco Inferno and Jeramy Borash on commentary, and Buff Bagwell hits a running neckbreaker, the same one that Disco always works into a match. Disco: "Here comes my patented move." Borash: "One of your three." Looking back on it, all I can think of is OHH TAG.

That second episode was just a tad TOO over-the-top with the way the doppleganger handled herself. I absolutely loved the way they ended the episode, but by the forty minute mark, I was praying for a subplot of some sorts to get me away from the storyline for a few minutes. Still a big fan of it, though, despite taking Boston Public's spot.

The Boogie Knights~! And it was DISQO, seeing as how SISQO was all the rage back then.

That'd be Jim Duggan, when he turned Canadian or something. Elix Skipper wasn't Canadian. He just, uhh, turned Canadian or something. That WCW. Always on the cutting edge.

Battle Royal time. #1 and #2 are Diamond and Young. Young quickly gets tossed. #3 is Kash. #4 is D-Lo. #5 is Gilberti. Kid Kash gets thrown out, holds on (a la Michaels in '95), and then headscissors D-Lo to the floor, and Kash brings himself back into the ring. Impressive. #6 is Siaki. After hitting a huge German on Kash, Raven runs in and Evenflows Siaki. He yells into the camera, and leaves as Gilberti eliminates Siaki. #7 is Michael Shane. Gilberti and Kash briefly fight. #8 is Konnan. Diamond's been in for a whole eight minutes now, and West is orgasming since he's still in there. #9 is Killings. Konnan pushes Kash off the top, and to the floor. Konnan eliminated. Diamond backdrops Gilberti to the floor. #10 is Swinger, and he comes in roughly one second before he's supposed to, quickly dumping Diamond. Shane, Swinger, and Killings left. Swinger backdropped to the apron, and Shane accidentally eliminates him. They fight for a few minutes, and Douglas comes out. Shane gets thrown a chain, which he promptly throws back to Douglas. Front suplex from Killings, 1-2-3. Douglas screams at Shane, and that's all for that.

Backstage, Jarrett grabs Goldylocks' phone, prompting a semi-feminist speech. Shockingly, she didn't break the phone and yell at the manager. Two notes. - Goldy was yelling at Erik Watts on the phone, meaning he isn't completly out of the picture. - Once Jarrett left, Goldy looked at Abyss with the eys of a manipulator, so that oculd go in several different ways.

James Storm beats Douglas in a match about as eventful as you'd think. Tracy spent too much time distracting the ref, allowing Storm to pick up the win. He berates Tracy after the match, prompting Michael Shane to run down and make things better. ?Yay?

I love how West and Tenay mention that Monte decided not to come back to TNA until he was "ready." Nope, he definitely didn't almost cripple the World Champ or anything. Fairplay is in the crowd with Brenda Hue from Star Magazine. Boring squash, and I'm a fan of Brown. Plus, wearing leopard tights != monster heel. And now let's have him run from Don Harris. Yeah, that'll get him over.
