The thing is, WWE has no clue how to actually do a correct stable storyline. What WWE normally does is create a stable around one guy then have guys lower on the card "look up" to that one guy and even though that can work for a certain period of time,it gets old and quick. Another thing WWE does with stables is create one and then competely forgets about it, JBL's cabinet is a good example of this. The best stable that is the best example you can give is the 4 Horsemen. When the 4 Horsemen were created it wasn't just about one guy, it was about a group of guys who just meshed very well together. They didn't look at Ric Flair as the leader or anything, they were about working with, helping out, and partying with each other and even through differant formations of the Horsemen, that continued to be the idea of the Horsemen. Hell when you look at the beginning of the nWo, when they were just a small group of wrestlers it was pretty much the same idea...until the group just got extremely massive then all of a sudden Hulk Hogan was just looked apon as a God by the other guys in the group, which ulitmately killed the gimmick. When WWE does a stable again, they really need to do it right and that's by getting a manager to manage a group of guys who are all pretty much on the same level, all working together, helping each other out, and not fighting over things, but when WWE will be able to actually pull that off, I have no clue.

You know, I can honestly say, I'm not excited for the Hart Foundation 2.0 gimmick. I just don't think it's going to work, plus with Teddy's attitude issues, how long do you think he'll actually be able to manage in a WWE locker room? Espically around guys like JBL, HHH, HBK, Undertaker, and Hardcore Holly? Plus they really don't seem like the new Hart Foundation. I don't know, maybe I'm wrong, but I just can't get excited about this gimmick.

No, no they don't! They'll think Dusty is doing something wrong and I don't want that to happen. I really enjoyed ECW tonight, I still like how they're using wrestling to help put storylines/feuds over. I also like how they're doing differant things with some of the wrestlers but yet keeping certain wrestlers the same way but just giving them more of that edge. The putting over of Stevie Richards is awesome and it's about fucking time and it's a perfect example of something they're doing differant with someone that really wasn't being used right. I also like how ECW has quite a few feuds and storylines going. -Stevie Richards vs Kevin Thorn, which I'm sure is going to go for a few more weeks, unless Stevie gets destoryed next week. -Big Daddy V w/ Matt Striker vs Boogeyman, V has never looked better even without a shirt. I like Matt Striker more as a manager than I do a wrestler but next time he has a actual match, I probably won't mind as much. -The Miz Storyline, he's annoying that's it, they're using him as annoying gimmick, it works..DON'T FUCK IT UP DUSTY And...umm other booker guy. -ECW title, I like how people are actually FIGHTING for a shot at the ECW title. They've been doing a great job of actually building the ECW title back up as something important that wrestlers actually want. Instead of a centerpiece for two guys who are feuding about something OTHER than the ECW championship title.

I want to, but I don't want to pay for anything that I'm not sure what it is

Interesting. I wonder if he broke his neck or something and didn't realize it till later. I've heard of that happening before. But if that's the case, why all the speculation/mystery? On the fall, he tucked his chin, his neck may be a little sore but it's not broken. If he didn't tuck his chin, then yes he'd be fucked.

Why would I get a PS3 when I barely want a PS2?

yeah, who honestly didn't see Jeff Hardy going home happening?

what page is the little box on? I didn't see it anywhere.

Inside joke.

I'm excited that Fire Pro is coming to America as I've never played it before, but is it really worth me buying a new PS2 just for that game? I know the PS2 has quite a few months of life left and there are a few games I've been dying to play but are PS2 only, but I really don't want to spend the money on a system that's going to die out on a game I won't enjoy.

yeah...whats your point?

So Vince Russo is finally coming back to tv?

is acutally listed in the credits. I saw it tonight and loved it. The first few minutes I actually couldn't swollow any of my soda as I was laughing to hard.

It should be fine until some random Indy worker gets hurt, then it'll die a slow slow death. Though I do like the fact they're getting rid of the Cruiserweight name, I've always hated that name.

Which makes me want to play it even more. That trailer was great!

I got my 360 back tonight.....I feel at piece and I'm downloading hella shit that I've missed! Has anyone played Overlord yet? I was thinking about renting it but I wanted to maybe hear some reviews.

Weird. Maybe it's just me, but when I think driver, I think spiking a guy's head, not putting a guy on their back. Tiger Bomb is basically an ECW/Joey Styles invention and nothing more. Maybe Cole/Tazz/Matthews have used it since in reference to Noble when he was using the move, but that's it. I actually hear Indy wrestlers use that referance all the time. I guess you could look at it either way, but like I said, when I hear the word "driver" when it comes to wrestling, I think a wrestler is getting a head spikeing move.

Weird. Maybe it's just me, but when I think driver, I think spiking a guy's head, not putting a guy on their back.

Say Wrestler A has Wrestler B in a bearhug, Wrestler B manages to get his arms free and (best way I can explain this) takes both arms and hits Wrestler A in the ears with his forearms, and makes his hands clap together behind the head of Wrestler A. It's actually called a Bell Clap. I agree I think, it's a jumping senton. Basically Wrestler A is on the ground and Wrestler B runs and jumps up, forms a little ball in mid-air and hits a senton on Wrestler A. Well thats what a Indy Wrestler I know does. Either/Or Rest hold maybe? I'm guess they actually mean "Arm Bar", but it's the WWE. Does the word "short" actually have to be in there, that might offend Hornswoggle Umm...two handed choke?

Cause it's not... it's a Tiger Driver. I hate to say this, but that's where your wrong. A Tiger Driver is when you spike a guy's head (Juvi driver, Taka's ( I can't spell his last name) driver), a Tiger Bomb is just like a powerbomb, you put the guy on his back.

I gave up on the game when it used "Double Underhook Powerbomb" instead of just using "Tigerbomb". Though we should totally cheat at it and just make a thread using only the right answers.

I really want to call in to Nancy Grace and complain about that list that I saw.

I belive that was Kafu from APW, not sure who the other guy is though.

DAMN!

I haven't posted in awhile, there's really no reason why except I really haven't found much to post about. I am still training and I am still Refereeing for promotions and regardless of what the Khali mark says, are not backyard feds. (check out the WWE comments that don't warrent a thread...thread to see what I'm talking about.) -Training: Training has been going ok. I've just about completed 6 months of my 1 year training contract. While I'm still slowly improving, I'm still having trouble with being able to do a straight forward flip and body control. When I flip, I keep tucking a shoulder in causing me to rotate into what looks like a jumping spin kick. Plus I'm also not jumping straight up, I keep lunging forward, which I"m not really suppose to do. i'm suppose to jump up, but for some reason my body just doesn't want to. My problem is that I keep thinking/fearing I'm going to end up on the top of my head again. I've done it quite a few times in the pass and got really lucky and only got a sore neck because of it but I keep thinking that next one, if that next one happens, will result in something a lot less worse then a sore neck. Other than those things, training is going ok really. I'm learning new moves a few times a week and learning how to craft matches better more and more and we have a few gimmick ideas for me but my favorite one will be done with me wearing a mask. I won't go into detail about it here, because you never know who might end up reading this stuff but when I'm really close to debuting it or at least have debuted it I'll talk about it. Oh, and before I forget if anyone here whose reading this wants to help me design a mask, that would be great. I can't draw worth a damn and everyone I ask if they can design a mask for me sorta falls through, I've asked quite a few actual wrestlers if they knew anyone or any company that might help me but I've got silent no's or a "do it yourself" from Konnan. So if anyone would be intresting in drawing a design concept so I can send it over to Highspots so the mask could be made, that would be FUCKING GREAT! Refereeing: Refereeing is going amazingly well. I'm being booked around the bay area about 2 or 3 or more times a month now and if training doesn't work out very well by the time my 1 year is up, I think I will just skip out on the wrestling part and just become a Ref, as I'm still having a lot of fun doing it. Promotions: Devil Mountain Wrestling (DMW):Devil Mountain Wrestling (my home promotion that made me into a Ref and where I'm currently training.) is finally running shows again. We really haven't ran a big show since last Sept. We kept getting the run around by the armory that we wanted to run shows at, so after almost a year of not running any shows we finally found what may become our new home for running monthly shows, which is a Boys and Girls club. We did our first big show of 2007 last weekend and it went really well. We had near or at 85 paying people and for really your first big show in almost a year, that really is a good number. I was hoping for 100 while others were hoping for more, but I'm generally happy with having that many people show up. California Championship Wrestling (CCW): CCW is still running extremely strong and actually just had their 1 year aniversity show this month (July). Plus CCW is still on Comcast On-Demand here in Northern California so I'm regularly on tv....you just need to have Comcast's On-Demand service...and live in Northern California to watch CCW on tv. I know CCW is also working on other things for tv right now but I can't really say anything about it until they annouce something. But yes, CCW is going really strong and doesn't look like they want to keep running just as strong or stronger. Their drawing huge crowds of about 300 or more people (think Indy show people), have great wrestling matches, and have a Bay Area market, CCW is really going. BRAWL: BRAWL is still going and running very well. They're having 2 regular shows a month and I'm used as a Ref for them now instead of a sound guy. Well I still do sound if they REALLY need me to. Rik Luxury really trusts me when it comes to hitting music cues and doing everything correctly when it comes to running the sound and I competely understand that, so if asked, I'll do sound for something he wants done perfectly. North American Wrestling (NAW): Goddamn NAW shows are a lot of fun. I've only worked a few of them but whenever I work them, I always have a great time. Not saying I don't have a great time at the other promotions I work for, but there's something at NAW that lets me know that I'm going to have a great time that night. NAW's also really starting to bring in big names as well. At the last show Psicosis (the actual Psicosis) wrestled on the card and so did Gangrel. I didn't really get to meet Psicosis as he pretty much stayed away from the rest of the wreslters and was mainly on his cell phone, Gangrel on the other hand....AWESOME GUY. Really friendly, really easy to approach and talk to, I have nothing and will never have anything bad to say about Gangrel EVER! Great guy. I love working NAW shows but there is one kind of negitive thing about working NAW shows. They go for so long. They are stacked 11 or 12 match cards and the show doesn't seem to end until about 11:30 or midnight...on a sunday night. Which sorta sucks because I get up for work on Monday mornings between 5 and 5:30 am, but since I have so much fun I really don't seem so much...until the next day when I'm driving my work truck and I'm really sleepy, but like I said I really enjoy working their shows so I shouldn't be complaining. BAW in Oregon:BAW is up and running again after being forced to take a few months off due to someone else up in Oregon who got scared by how well they are doing. I still have a working relationship with them, but I really can't afford to keep going to Oregon to do their shows, which is sading as I really loved working up there but I got to look at the reality of things, should I skip work and have less money so I can pay my bills, buy food, and keep a little left over until my next paycheck, or should I go work in Oregon and miss that paid day at work and that answer would be....choose buisness over pleasure. THE BIG NEWS!: Ok, time for the big news I mentioned. In late Oct., there will be a wrestling con (think Comic-con) taking place at the Cow palace. It's going to be a 3 day event and on the 2nd day (Saturday) the people running the con is going to have a HUGE card and I found out last night, after contacting the promoter via E-mail, it looks like I'm going to be one of the Refs for this huge ass card. Now when I said "Huge ass card" I don't mean it's a whole bunch of matches put together, no I mean it's a stacked big name card! Here's the card so far: Knight of the Indys-Last Man Standing 30 man Battleroyal: Every 60 seconds, a new wrestler will enter the Battle Royal and when all 30 men are in the match, YOU MUST BE THROWN OVER THE TOP ROPE TO BE ELIMATED. My trainer Helfyre is actually in this match. Hardcore Fatal 4 Way: Al Snow vs Axl Rotten vs Blue Meanie vs Nick Sinn Battle Of The Giants: The One Man Gang vs Kamala Singles Match: Tony Atlas vs Dr. Death Steve Williams Legendary Tag Team Match: The Rock and Roll Express vs The Midnight Express Battle of The Big Boys: The Nasty Boys vs Vicious & Delicious (Buff Bagwell and Scott Norton) Texas Bull Rope Match: Ron Bass vs Black Bart Triple Threat Match: JD Micheals vs Billy Kiddman vs Sharkboy Greg Valentine & Brutus The Barber Beefcake vs Koko B Ware & Tito Santana Test & A-Train (T&A) vs Rick Steiner & Dan Severn (NOW FOR THE TWO BIGGEST MATCHES ON THE CARD (in my view only) ) The Great Muta vs Ultimo Dragon!!!!!! And the Main Event: Christian Cage vs Abyss vs A Mystery Man. (I actually don't know who the Mystery man is, but I'm thinking/GUESSING It's either Kurt Angle or Bill Goldberg as they both will be at the Con.) So you can see why I'm really excited to be working as a Ref for this show. The idea that I could Ref one of these HUGE matches is fucking awesome, espically Great Muta vs Ultimo Dragon, that would be a dream match to Ref. Here's also some good news about it, it looks like the show is going to be on Pay Per View. I don't know the details about according to the website and flyer, it looks like the show will be on PPV. If anymore details come up, I'll post the details. So yeah I'm extremely excited about it and if you want to check out the website and get more information about the 3 day WrestleFanFest go to http://www.wrestlefanfest.com/ Being a Referee is so great!
