Scroby

Ok time for a update and I'm sooooo very sorry I haven't really updated this blog for awhile now. I've either been busy or just to lazy to take the time to type one or a few out, I'm sorry, but to make it up here's a overall update on things. First off, so I finally moved out of my mom's place and moved into my own place a few weeks ago. I mention this for a reason, that reason, my roommate used to be a Godfather Ho. So thats worth mentioning. Update on Training: Training...is going well I guess. I'm still very sloppy in the ring and it seems once every two weeks, I'm either hurting myself or actidently hurting someone. It's very frustrating, the last thing I did was actidently give Helfyre (my trainer) a black eye. We were doing a practice match and he was going to give me a pumphandle/t-bone suplex, he threw me over but I somehow managed to hit him in his eye with my left elbow. I felt sooo fucking horrible afterwards. I guess what I was suppose to do was tuck my arms to my inside on the way over but I didn't know that and in mid-air I bent my arms so I could bump correctly, and thats how I caught him in his eye. I still feel horrible about it. Another issue I seem to be having is with front flipping. I'm having difficulty flipping straight over and then sticking my landing on the mat. Its sorta a few things, 1. I can't spring (being light on my feet/jumping up high) very well, so I'm sorta low to the mat when I go over and I fear smashing my head into the ring. 2. For some reason, I keep tucking my right arm causing me to flip more to the left and not straight over, also a issue with me front flipping, but on Thursday last week, Kenny K came through to help out and he said I should try to tuck my left arm and see what happens, so I did and I went over more straighter, but now I just need to work on getting some height on my flipping so I don't go so far across the ring. One thing I have been trying to learn and really excel at is chain wrestling, as I've always been a fan of it. We're learning bit by bit and I'm trying really hard to remember a lot of it, I've picked up on a little bit of it but we'll see how I do as I go. Wrestling Shows: Everything seems to be going well with me doing shows. CCW: CCW is going extremely well. They're drawing good big crowds and these crowds are hot! They're loud through the entire night, for every match, it's a awesome crowd to draw. I'm very pleased to be working with them as I'm having fun being a Ref for them and hey! they allowed to Ref my first title match. BRAWL: BRAWL's running decently. They've started running twice a month, one Friday and one Saturday a month. The Friday Night shows do great, BRAWL draws a pretty good crowd on the Friday night shows, but the Saturday shows...not so much. BRAWL has to run at noon on the Saturday shows due to the rules the fairgrounds have laid down for their Saturday shows and it seems people either can't or don't want to come to a wrestling show that is running at noon. I mean, people do show up, but its not in a great number like the Friday night shows. Other than that, BRAWL is fun as well. I'm still just their sound guy but I'm thinking about asking for another role, though I'm not to sure yet. I won't be at their show this friday because I'll be in Oregon, working for BAW so for this show their using a new sound guy and if he works out pretty well, I may just ask to do something else, but we'll see how that goes. BAW: Working for BAW is a trip for me. First, its in Oregon, so working out of state so early in my Referee career is a bit weird. I figured I might work out of state way down the road, but early is good too. Second, BAW mainly uses bigger names on their shows, by bigger names I mean former ECW/WCW/and WWE names and just like working out of state, working with and meeting all these bigger names, just like working out of state already, has been a trip as well. I mean, i've already met New Jack, D-Lo Brown, Spike Dudley, Molly Holly, Tonga Kid, Rikishi, and Kamala and on Friday not only do I get to see New Jack, D-Lo Brown, Rikishi, and Tonga Kid again, but I also get to meet Daffaney (Lucy), Raven, and Brian Christopher. I'm really looking forward to meeting Raven and listening to anything he has to say as I've been a fan of his for years now and I think he's one of the best guys to watch and listen to about in-ring psycology. One complaint I have about working with these companys, really have nothing to do with the companys themselves, but the show schduleing sorta sucks. It seems that these three companys always run during the same weekend. Like this weekend, BAW and BRAWL run on Friday while CCW runs on Saturday, so my weekend will be, fly out to Portland Friday Morning, work BAW show, fly back to Oakland on Saturday morning, then a few hours later, make a hour in a half drive to Newman to work the CCW show, then I have to haul ass up to Oakland to work Rocky Horror. So I'll be doing 3 shows in two days, and Sunday...i'm fucking relaxing and I'm hoping no one really runs during Wrestlemania weekend, that would just be chaotic for me....well maybe not, who knows. So yeah, there's been a update on whats been going on. I'll TRY to update again after this weekend. If anything if I have some time, I will diffently try to update during the few hours I have to spare on Saturday, but no promises. Till next time Scroby out!

match wise...normally the wrestlers in the match will plan it out the day of the show... or at least get ides and work them out with each other the day of their match. If you mean like getting ready, and other stuff....same thing.

Over the weekend, I had two shows. I had BAW up in McMinnville Oregon and CCW which was in Newman California. I'll write about the BAW show because that was the first show I did as the show was on a Friday. So BAW was holding a two day tournament to find out who would be their first Heavyweight Champion. I could only make the first show because at the moment there's been a lot a of drama with Rocky Horror and I have lost most of the lighting crew because of it and I'm not the kind of person who leaves people high and dry, espically on a show that affects other people, I'm just not that kind of person. So I had to be in Oakland for Rocky on Saturday night. The officals of BAW were pretty understanding and were ok with me only doing one of the two shows. I flew out of Oakland, Friday morning at 9:30. Which was cool because I had enough time to go my work and pick up my check and go cash it at the ATM..a broke Toby going out of state, not a good idea. The flight was nice and easy, left on time, got to Portland a little bit earlier than schduled and the weather...freaking nice. Warm, sunny, barely a cloud in the sky. I got to my hotel a little before noon and took a nap. Before I took my nap, I got a call from BAW letting me know that they'll send someone to pick me up sometime at 4. After a little while, 4 o'clock came around and I waited but no phone call about someone here to get me, so after waiting a little while longer, I called a offical of BAW at 5. She told me that my ride would be there soon after she had picked up Raven....I said okie dokie and we hung up....i started marking out a bit. I'm going to be riding in the same car as Raven? Holy shit.... I've watched and studyed Raven matches for a few years as he's FUCKING GREAT when it comes to ring psycology. So after a little bit longer, 5:30ish(?), the girl coming to pick me up called me and let me know that she had Raven and was on her way to pick me up. She said she would be there in about 10 minutes so I told her I would be waiting outside. So after a little bit of waiting, I got a voicemail, it was the girl picking me up saying she was at my hotel in the lobby waiting for me.......umm okie dokie. There was only one way to get to my hotel and if she didn't see me, she was at the wrong hotel, so I called her and she said she was Red Lion on 82nd st, but that wasn't my hotel. Apprently there are 3 Red Lion's in Portland...all near the airport...all within a 5 mile radius of each other! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!? About 15 minutes, a blue van came around the corner with Raven sitting in the passenger seat. I got into the van, and me and Raven shook hands as we introduced ourselves to one another and within 10 seconds of me getting into the van, Raven told me I already had heat with him. Because the girl who picked myself and Raven up, didn't have the right directions to the right hotel (not her fault, not really mine either as I sent my rotel address before my flight but had no clue if the email got read or not) and we sorta missed about 20 minutes of travel time to get to the show, so Raven didn't have time to sell his merchindise as we wouldn't have gotten to the arena until after 7 because I wasn't picked up till after 6. He wasn't to happy and just wanted to get to the show. Raven wasn't going to stay for the two days either and had a flight schduled for 10:40 later that night and because he was picked up late and because the girl who didn't have my right hotel info wasn't able to pick me up till after 6, Raven had only enough time to get to the show, streatch, get dressed, have a quick match, then leave. I felt pretty bad because I was part of the reason why he had to get there and go, but it wasn't all entirely my fault. So after listening to Raven telling the girl who was driving to drive faster and faster so we can get to the show, we got to the show at 7:20, when the show was just starting. I got my stuff out of the van and went to the back. The promoter was waiting for us at the back door, I shook his hand told him sorry we are late and he said it was ok and I started walking to the locker room. I saw some wrestlers in the hallway, one of the first people I saw were Kassy Summers. She looked at me surprised, asking what I was doing there, I told her I was Ref'ing the show and she told me there were like 8 Ref's...umm ok. So I kept walking towards the locker room, saying hello to those who I knew and introducing myself to those who I had not seen before. Some of the new faces were Flash Flanigan, Daffney (or lucy), Vic the Bruiser, Haley Hatred, Rayn Caden, Rosey, and a few others. The ones who I already knew were Helfyre, D-Lo Brown, Kassy Summers, New Jack, The Big Ugly JD Bishop, The Blanchard Brothers, The Tonga Kid, Wage Reighten, Terry Bull, The Cosmic River, Superstar Shane Andrews, J.B. Luce, and a few others who I can't remember who all to list at the moment, I'm sure it'll come to me. After a few minutes I found out what my first match was going to be for the night and it was the re-match between Superstar Shane Andrews and J.B. Luce. At the last show, Luce lost to Shane Andrews due to be rolled up and I made the 3 count, but Luce..and the results sware up and down Andrews grabbed the tights and used the ropes, but I didn't see that. Anyways, so the two of them had a re-match and I was going to Ref it. They had a pretty good match, though when Luce took Andrews up for a side back suplex, Andrews punched J.B. Luce in the head and Luce went down and Andrews made the pin and got the 3 count and the win over Luce for the 2nd time. After Luce got up, he complained to me that Andrews hit Luce with something but it looked clean to me, so I just told him the match was over and it wasn't my fault he couldn't get the job done. We both went to the back arguing...I pretty much stayed away from him for the rest of the night. My next match of the night was The Big Ugly vs Vic The Bomber. The two of them had a good match with Vic chopping the shit out of Ugly. I've never seen anyone chop Ugly in that kind of way, normally its the other way around. Vic ended up getting the win after Ugly went to splash him and Vic moved out of the way and rolled Big Ugly up with a school boy and got the 1, 2, 3. After this match, there was a woman's match with Haley Hatred vs Kassy Summers, I didn't ref this match but I made a apperance. After the match was over and Kassy picked up the win, Haley attacked Kassy when her back was turned and Daffney ran out to make the save. Haley and Daffney got themselves into a cat fight. I ran out a few seconds later to help the other Ref for the night seperate Daff and Haley...oh by the way, there was only 2 ref's for the night, I had no clue where Kassy came up with 8, but meh. My next and final match for the night was a New Jack match. It was New Jack w/ Daffney in his corner vs a guy doing sorta like a voodoo gimmick. Sorta like a Papa Shango gimmic. I never caught his name, but once I get it, I'll post it. So not only is this my first time Ref'ing a New Jack match, but its my first Hardcore match as well. This match was a weird one at that. The guy who New Jack was facing came out with a smoking head....a fucking head that was smoking! He laid his stuff in the corner and I was not going to touch it, New Jack and Daffney came out next. New Jack came with a backpack full of goodies. When the match started, the two were punching each other in the corner, when New Jack got a chance, Daffney went into the backpack and got Jack a staple gun. New Jack started shooting staples everywhere and then stuck the staplegun to the other guys head and shot a staple in his head. HE SHOT A MOTHERFUCKING STAPLE IN THIS GUY'S HEAD!!!! I saw it, I saw the staple in his head! The hell!? Man, what the hell!? The match only got crazier, the other guy started coming back and took some kind of bone and started hitting New Jack with it. A few seconds later Jack got the advantage again and Daffney handed him a fucking stun gun and the next thing I know, Jack's shocking the hell out of this guy! Daffney then hands New Jack a sickle...A MOTHER FUCKING SICKLE!!!! Jack starts craving this guys head up with it too! Yeah......both guys are bleeding...a lot and just when you think things just can't get any worse....New Jack goes and gets a dollar from a fan...then the staple gun. The other guy cuts him off though and then takes both the gun and dollar and staples the dollar to Jack's head! Ok I'm ready to call the match but knowing if I might do that, Jack and the other guy might kill me with Daffney yelling at my dead corpse. So after a few minutes of Jack getting beat down, Jack somehow manages a comeback and Daffney hands him a chair while New Jack is climbing to the top turnbuckle, with chair in hand, New Jack jumped from the top and hit the other guy in the head with the chair. New Jack quickly covers him and gets the pinfall win over him. I went back to the back, and started getting back into my street clothes as it was my last match of the night. I got dressed quickly and watched Helfyre wrestle D-lo Brown. The two of them had a good match, and the end of the match saw D-Lo getting the pin over Helfyre after D-lo hit the sky high on Helfyre. After the was show was over, I said my good byes to everyone and got a ride back to my hotel room. Where I went to sleep after taking a shower to make sure I had all the blood off of me. I was going to post about CCW in this blog but its sorta getting late so I'll post about it tomorrow or on Tuesday.

Training on wrestling moves? Till I get it right and know enough on how to use it. Weight Room? I haven't been working out, I sorta wanted to keep my skinny figure because a Ref who sorta has a muscular tone....not so believable when a guy whose has less muscular tone hits a ref who has more of a muscular tone doesn't really seem belieavable when the Ref gets ko'ed due to a clothesline. Though Helfyre wants to start me and the rest of the trainees to start lifting a bit starting next month.

Here are the results of the St patty's day show. I copied these straight from a CCW source so I didn't have to type it all out. Overall a fun show and I got to Ref the Triple Threat and also the Tag team match, both were really fun for me to Ref as it as my first time Ref'ing a triple threat and the tag team match was just crazy.

Didn't he say that Sabu and Sandman would be gone about 4 months ago? Yeah, I'll believe it when I see it.

Here are the results of the show. - The show kicked off with the Surburban commandos and Robbie Gilmore coming out dressed up as the Wrestlers Of Mass Destruction ( Alexis Smirnoff Jr., Vennis Demarco, and Sheik Kahn Abodi). D-unit was Smirnoff, T-Rent was Abodi, and Robbie Gilmore dressed as Vennis Demarco. A little bit later the real Wrestlers of Mass Destruction came out and the match between the 6 was set up for later in the night. -Match 1: Billy Blade and Mike Rayne vs A Pimp Named Virgil and ??? Mike Rayne called out Virgil so Virgil can hand over his half of the tag title. When Virgil came out and refused to just hand it over, Rayne told him to find a partner and the winning team can have both titles, Mark Vega came out to join Virgil's side. Result: The match went to a no contest and on April 1st (yeah...thats Wrestlemania) Mike Rayne and Virgil will have a singles match with the winner gaining control over both tag titles. -Match 2: The BRAWL Heavyweight Champion Pogo vs Mr. Frost Frost first came after Pogo with a bat and was beating the hell out of him, then when Pogo got a chance, Pogo went nuts and got himself DQ'ed after choking Mr. Frost Winner: by DQ, Mr. Frost After the match, The Surburban Commando's came out to aid Mr. Frost and said at BRAWL Wars on April 13th, one of the commandos will challange Pogo for the BRAWL Heavyweight Championship and said they WILL take the belt off him. -Match 3: Rage vs Jesus Cruz Result: Double Countout -Match 4: U.S. Title Match Cyanide vs Rik Luxury Winner and new U.S. Champion Rik Luxury. Luxury went after the injured ankle of Cyanide making the match completely one sided. Cyanide ended up passing out from all the pain, making Rik the new BRAWL U.S. Champion. BRAWL also has a stipulation to where you can cash in the U.S. title to make yourself the number 1 contender for the BRAWL Heavyweight Champion. -Match 5: The Surburban Commandos (D-unit and T-rent) and Robbie Gilmore vs The Wrestlers Of Mass Destruction Winners: The Surburban Commandos and Robbie Gilmore. After the match Jesus Cruz came out and attacked the Commandos and Gilmore, joining sides with the Wrestlers Of Mass Destruction. The WOMD handcuffed the Commandos and Gilmore to the ring posts and just beat the hell out of them. Once the Commandos and Gilmore got free they challagned the Wrestlers of Mass Destruction to a elimation handcuff match at BRAWL Wars on April 13th. Basically the object of this match is, if you get pinned or submit, your handcuffed to a post on the outside where you have to watch or get beaten on. -Match 6: In a ladder match for the BRAWL Internet Championship it was Jason Vega © vs Seito Hayashi The end of the match saw the Ref getting knocked out, Hayashi had actually climbed the ladder and got the title but since the Ref was out, no one could call for the bell. Before Hayashi knew it, Jason Vega climbed up the ladder behind Hayashi and pushed Hayashi off the ladder and after Hayashi landed, Vega grabbed the title and woke the ref off to be declared the winner. Winner and still BRAWL Internet Champion, Jason Vega. BRAWL's next show is on Sunday night April 1st....yeah..thats Wrestlemania.

Man...another one. RIP

Man, I miss listening to the Doghouse. I used to listen to them all the time when they were on Wild 94.9 in San Fransisco, then they were fired over something so fucking stupid. I was listening to them over online but with the job I currently have, its pretty much impossible for me to hear them unless I have the day off or I'm taking a sick day. I'm actually surprised Free FM doesn't air them in the bay area. The Doghouse were so huge here in the bay area, you would think Free FM would air the shows (live or repeated) just because it would grab huge ratings out here. But yeah, The Doghouse is a great radio show, is Hollywood back on it yet?

Butters's ending speech...gold!

I've really enjoyed his work since I first saw him on Smackdown months ago. I'm surprised that people here bash him since he's pretty decent in the ring and on the mic.

I'm thinking 2008, the WWE will be back to the one ppv a month schdule as it would make the WWE look really bad if they cancelled a whole bunch of PPV's at already booked arenas.

If this means that the WWE will go back to having 1 PPV a month, in the future, I'm down with having the PPV's being multi-brand.

I'm telling you man, its so very surreal for me to be around all these bigger names. I never thought I'b sharing a locker room with all these guys. Hell I never thought I'd be having dinner with D-Lo and New jack but I did about a month go. So very surreal for me.

So I just saw the RAW replay (west coast) of the Mickie James vs Melina match last week and I saw what went wrong with the huricanrana. Melina didn't sit straight up, for some stupid reason she was bent forward and if Melina had sat straight up, Mickie could have been able to post on Melina's shoulders before flipping backwards but since Melina was bent forward, Mickie had nothing to post on...or I guess rather land on, so Mickie just went striaght backwards on her head.

I haven't experiance any bugs on 2k7, but I rented it for 360 not for the PS2.

Why? Because it's sorta like Brother Ray? Or am I missing something more glaring... Brother Ray thing

That sucks, he was a funny comedian, he was on the Bob and Tom show quite a few times and just always had me cracking up.

I think I just saw the trailer that Cbright was talking about. Its up on Youtube if you look under Spiderman 3. From what I can tell, the picture was taken as the suit is actually forming on Eddie Brock. I guess the face just comes out first as the symboite is still taking to Brock's skin.

You have to click on the left stick, L3, and your batter's eye comes up. I found that but as far as I can tell, its not for actual aiming, its to guess where the pitch is going to end up and if your right, a baseball icon will show up. I don't think it has anything to do with aiming on where you actually wanna hit.

I rented the game today and I think its great. I'm using the classic batting control sceme as I hate using the analog stick to bat, and I have a question about classic batting sceme. According to the instructions, if you press up or down on the Left analog stick, it changes up your batting but I really haven't noticed any differances, plus is there a way to aim to where you wanna hit or am I just tapping A at the right time all the time?

Strummer and Hawk 34, you both really shouldn't be talking. They put Christopher Daniels back in the X divison? The way they were building it up, I thought he was going to start going after the NWA title. Was I the only one who thought that?
