Daviri is now on Smackdown? He's got to be the most moved around guy in the company. Sounds like Kennedy vs Batista was a good match, I'll be looking forward to seeing it again.

Ok, since ECW is on and I'm just sitting here and watching it, I have some time to post about me working the most recent BAW show. I flew out of Sacramento, really really early Friday (1/26) morning. Before my flight, I saw this big Samoan guy who looked really familar. He was on my flight, I couldn't put my finger on it, but he looked really really familar. Anyways, I let it go and we flew out of California a little before 6:30 in the morning. I got into Portland a little after 8 and Portland's airport is FREAKING huge! I couldn't believe how big it was, I felt like I was in a mall. I waited outside for my shuttle under these space heaters the airport has and after half an hour of waiting, I went to my hotel. My hotel room was ok, nothing special about it, I tried taking a nap as I didn't get much sleep Thursday night. The problem was, the hotel was putting new carpet in the rooms...and they happen to be putting new carpet in the room across mine. So sleep was pretty much out of the question. So after waiting a little while, Helfyre called me up to let me know he was picking me up and we headed to BAW in McMinnville a little before 4 in the afternoon......and we hit traffic all the way there. What should have been about an hour drive, turned into a two hour and 10 minute drive, granted we had to make a sidestop due to Helfyre forgetting his music and had to get a cd for the show, but it still took a lot longer to get there than it should have and I thought California Bay Area traffic was horrible, I really shouldn't complain about Bay Area traffic again after sitting in Oregon traffic, that shit was insane. Me and Helfyre got to the show a little after 6...and the show started at 7. As soon as I got in the building, I said hello to some of the BAW rookies and the booker and went right to the back to get changed quickly. I didn't know how soon they needed me, so I got changed quickly. Of course I said hello to those in the locker room before I got changed, that would have been rude if I didn't and as I was getting changed, the big samoan I saw that was on my flight that looked familar but I just couldn't put my finger on it, well he was there! Turns out, that guy is the Tonga Kid. The guy who teamed with Haku in the early 80's of the WWF and made the team of the Islanders. Really nice guy, I introduced myself and continued getting ready. He also showed up with "Count Black Pearl", which is a cousin of the Rock and Rikishi. More and more of the bigger names were showing up. Kamala showed up, along with D-Lo Brown. Both were really cool to meet. I didn't realize how tall Kamala and D-Lo actually are, both are really tall, espically Kamala. The show started at 7 and I found out what matches I had. I had the first offical match of the night, which was a tag match between Kimo and Chico Navarro vs Cosmic River and "The Ideal Reflection" Christopher Ryseck. Kimo and Chico are actually workers from North Cal. They wrestle out of a promotion called BTW or Big Time Wrestling. Cosmic River is a maked hippie wrestler who believes in Peace and puts the peace sign of two fingers up a lot. Christopher Ryseck I met that night and I really don't know anything about his backround. His gimmick is the guy who is in love with himself gimmick. As I got into the ring before the wrestlers came out, I took a second to look at the crowd and the crowd had grown since the last show, it was at least double the size of the last show and they were loud...really loud. The tag match went well. I almost screwed up as I didn't see Cosmic's foot on the rope but I saw it as the last second and stopped my count...well ok I hesitated and slowly put my hand down to make it look like I didn't screw it up. The end of the match resulted with a double team as Kimo hit a back cracker on River and held him so Chico could hit a double stomp on River, then Kimo pinned River for the 3 count. The 2nd match I had for the night was "Superstar" Shane Matthews vs JB Luce. I had met both these guys at the last show. This was Luce's debut match, not his debut with BAW but his first offical match altogether and Shane Matthews wrestled Micheal Blade on the last show and I got to Ref that match, so me and Shane worked together before. Shane had a lot of heat from the crowd, the crowd just hated him. The match went well for all 3 of us and the match ended up with Matthews rolling up Luce and according to the results, Shane Matthews used the ropes to help pin Luce...I didn't see it. The was my last match for the night, which sucked because out of 9 matches and only using two Refs (me and another guy), I only got to do two matches. I was really hoping to Ref a few more matches but it happens, you learn that about wrestling. I stayed in Ref gear just in case they needed and I just stood near the enterance and watched the rest of the show on the moniters we had. I did come out for two more matches, I came out for L'Empereur vs Kamala match. I collected Emperuer's gear for him and got chased around the ring by Kamala...that was really cool for me and I also came out for the main event. The main event was a cage match, which was New Jack vs Terry Bull. I came out and set up the cage and I stood ringside, just in case anything bad was to happen. This match was crazy as all hell. It started with Terry Bull attacking New Jack during Jack's enterance, which spilled out to the crowd. After a few minutes and after both men were busted open, Terry Bull and New Jack got into the cage and I locked the door so they couldn't get out. The match ended with New Jack pinning Terry Bull after hitting a suplex on him. Yeah I know what your thinking "A suplex?" and let me take a second to explain why it was off a suplex, both guys beat the living hell out of each other with weapons and in the cage, it wasn't a pretty sight, there was really nothing more they could have done to finish it, so thats how it ended. Besides NEW JACK DID A F'N SUPLEX! How often do you see Jack wrestle? After the show was over, myself and Helfyre geared up and got ready to go. Oh and before I forget Helfyre had a match as well. He wrestled a triple threat agasint D-Lo Brown and Count Black Pearl. All 3 guys had a good match that the fans ate up. As me and Helfyre were getting ready to leave, Tonga Kid asked if we could give anyone a ride and then the game of musical passengers. First were two luchadores and ater a few minutes, it turned out the two luchadores had a ride, so they switched cars. The next two people were Rikishi and Count Black Pearl. Oh yeah! Rikishi was also on the show, I just didn't get to talk to him much but when I did talk to him, he was a nice guy. So after a few minutes later, we found out we actually weren't going to give Rikishi and Black Pearl a ride to the hotel. The game of musical passengers was pretty much over so Helfyre started backing out of the parking lot and as we were backing up we noticed New Jack and D-lo was in the parking lot, kinda walking around aimlessly. Helfyre asked if they needed a ride and they did. D-Lo had to get to the airport as he had a late flight and New Jack needed a ride to the hotel. So now D-Lo Brown and New Jack are in the same car as I am! I'm secretly marking out in my head. The car ride to the airport in Portland was a lot of fun. D-Lo and New Jack told stories from Smokey Mountain and their time with TNA and we all joked with one another. At one point I got ribbed because the windows were fogging up in the back (5 people in a car can do that) and for some reason my window looked like some kind of Zebra pattern and everyone in the car ribbed me about how I was freaking them out making the window like that. We also stopped so D-Lo and New Jack could grab a beer. I got to share a beer with New Jack as drinking wasn't good for him that night as he lost a LOT of blood due to the cage match. After about an hour of driving, we dropped D-lo off at the airport in Portland, about half an hour before his flight was about to take off. It was funny watching D-lo speed walk into the airport as he was somewhat drunk off the 40oz he had bought and drank very quickly. As we were pulling away, New Jack rolled down the back window and started yelling to D-lo "D-LO YOU FORGOT YOUR BEER!" over and over again, it was great. After dropping off D-lo, Helfyre and New Jack wanted to get something to eat, I asked Helfyre if he could drop me off as I had to get up early so I could catch my flight and wanted to get some sleep but New Jack wanted me to come and eat with them and I can't really say no to New Jack, so I went with them. When we got to the resturant, New Jack got a phone call and it went like this "Hey!"...."your kidding?"....*new Jack puts the phone down and a bit and looks at Helfyre* "Can you pick up D-lo, he missed his flight." So off Helfyre went to pick up D-lo as myself and New Jack got a table. As we waited, me and New Jack talked about wrestling and how it was a bit surreal for me to be hanging out with him and D-lo. He told me a story about him and Kamala and we discussed about how he was going to be running a school soon and invited me to come out and visit sometime. Yes New Jack is going to be running a pro wrestling school soon, and he actually plans on training on wrestling. Jack knows how to wrestle...he just doesn't use it very often in his matches. After a little bit, D-lo and Helfyre returned and joined us. Turns out D-lo had the wrong time for his flight and was actually 10 minutes late for his flight. So we all sat down and had dinner..well Breakfest for me as it was late enough to where it was time for a early morning/late night breakfest. After eating and talking some more, we all finished and left the restuarant and I got dropped off at my hotel and of course I said my good byes to D-lo, New Jack, and Helfyre. As soon as I got back into my hotel, I took a quick shower to make sure all the blood was off of me and then went to sleep. I had to get up early to catch my flight back to CA as I had the CCW show still to do. Which will be told in my next blog, which I promise will be up in the next day or two.....at least before the weekend.

Ok, so I know I'm really lacking on my blog updates. I still owe you a BAW and CCW blog along with a training update. I'm lacking, I'm sorry, I'll get them up soon, I promise but right now I want to discuss how I recently found out how workers from South California hate North California workers and vicea versa. The night I was in Oregon working the BAW show, another promotion here in CA was running. This promotion is called GZW. To be honest, I don't like the promoter of GZW, dude was very rude to me while I was talking to him and the end result ended up me being pist off. Before his first show, he sent me a message via Myspace to come down and watch GZW's first show, as a paying customer. I was considering it, it was kinda of a long drive for me to make as the show was set in Lodi and thats an hour in a half drive from where I currently live but I was considering going to the show regardless of the drive. Anyways, me and him were talking about the show, sending messages back and forth and I decided to offer myself to help him out with whatever he needed help with and I didn't ask for any pay, and I made it clear that I didn't want any money for it. Anyways, after sending that message asking if he wanted any help, I never got a response. I thought maybe Myspace screwed up, so I sent him another message after about a week after not hearing from him. Again after the 2nd message, I didn't hear back from him. So after the first show took place, I sent him a message asking him how the show went...and I quickly got a response back. This was a surprise to me. So after talking about his first show and finding out how Samoa Joe was going to be on the next show, I again offered my hand in helping him out for free and after that message, I didn't hear back from again...he was ignoring me. I know he was getting my messages because when you check your "sent" folder on Myspace it lets you know if message had been read or not and the messages I was sending him were getting read. He just decided to stop talking to me altogether as I was offering my help...but yet he had no issue talking to me when he wanted me to pay to get in....So F him. Anyways, so on the most recent GZW show, he had a mixture of North Cal guys with South Cal guys, mainly guys from PWG. Human Tornado, Joey Ryan, Chris Bosh, and Scott Lost. Now Sou Cal (South California) hate the Nor-cal (North California) guys. From my understanding, they think they're better than the wrestlers here in Nor-Cal and yeah that doesn't really sit well with all of us. Anyways, at GZW there was a major issue where actually The Reno Boys took GZW's belt home with them and no this wasn't a work, this was a shoot. The Reno Boys actually took the GZW title with them and left the show early. After this happen, GZW's promoter freaked out and booked a Sou-Cal vs Nor-Cal match...where I heard was rather stiff match, espically on the Nor-cal end of the match ( ). So in a brief update, I wanted to put out there apprently is an issue between South California workers and North California workers. Something may arise again between the two parties, so if that happens, I wanted to post this first so there's some kind of backstory. So now you know...and knowing is half the battle.

Wait what? Can you explain a little bit more? Yes, I understand it after today. Go to that site, set up a profile, and start making a playlist. They've got a library that rivals the iTunes Music Store. The only catch is, you can't have more than 3 songs from an artist, and every playlist has to be 45 songs long. Then you pull up their Wii site (on the Wii), enter your user name, and the playlist plays over the Internet via the Wii/your TV speakers. The other way is quicker but you don't get any choice in song. You can type in an artist (say Pearl Jam*), it will play a random Pearl Jam song followed by other grunge rock choices from bands like Nirvana and other grunge bands. That's what I meant by genre earlier. *Whoever made the "Ed Vedder" Mii did an awesome job. So after setting that up, can I exit the internet browser on my Wii and still listen to the songs or is it ment to be used while I'm using the Internet and only on the internet on my Wii?

On the Crackdown Demo: I enjoyed it for the most part, my only major problem with the demo was that I had no clue what I was suppose to be doing. I just know I had to find a few gang members and kill them. I think when I play the actual game, maybe I'll understand what to do more and won't get lost, but that was my main problem playing the demo. Finding and using the upgrades were cool though. Reminding me of Spiderman 2 and I loved Spiderman 2. On Lost Planet: I rented it, I didn't get to play much because I just didn't have the time, the single player was fun, a bit of a challange but fun, and I've heard positives about the Multi-player but I recommand you rent it before you buy it.

Wait what? Can you explain a little bit more? Manhunt 2 is going to be very fun on the Wii, imagine using the Wii-remote to stab someone! Or bash them with a bat! Parents are going to love this one.

I'd pay to see Sabu vs Hogan. That would be a really, really intresting match.

Just because they said KAOS held the XPW tv title and keep getting ask questions about XPW don't mean they promoting XPW. I watch XPW, WSX and XPW is totally different. I actually heard XPW said quite a few times throughout the show.

Why the hell did Balls wrestle Umaga? Thats the only thing that didnt make any sense to me. What ChrisMWaters said, also JR and King along with Coach explained the reason behind the match before the match took place.

I can't honestly believe you believe some of the shit you type out. I hate to say it because Dalip is a real nice guy from my understanding, but Dalip is really shit in the ring. Dalip doesn't know to much in the ring, yes he has been somewhat trained but NO ONE has taken the time to actually train Dalip proper, thats part of the reason he actually acidently killed someone in the ring. I'm not saying it was his fault, it was mainly Roland Alexander's fat ass for putting Dalip in the ring with a rookie and making the rookie take the same move twice after the first one fucked up the kid in the first place. And the reason why Dalip doesn't slip up is because Vince actually got smart and did two things, 1. Take Dalip off live tv and 2. When Dalip got put back on live tv, his moves have been kept VERY VERY limited. Thats why the most we've seen from Daip is the chop to the head, a few punches, and a few slams, other than that Dalip hasn't done anything else in the ring since being put back on tv since ECW. I honestly can't believe you think that highly of Dalip since he's done pretty much nothing other than just squashing wrestlers with a few moves since coming back on tv.

Raw was very good tonight...very good. Every part of Raw had something going on from the week before, everything had some kind of purpose tonight and EVERYTHING MADE FUCKING SENSE! I'm very surprised how Raw went tonight, it was a very good good show.

You know, then he'll fuck you in the ass. I love to see that promo.

HAHAHA Fuckin Gamestop (or EB, I think they use the same stickers. I wouldn't be surprised if some Game company makes those games a lot higher than that, the Burger King games might become rare games.

Why is WSX promoting XPW, like XPW was a big name? I know to some, XPW was a big deal, but lets be honest XPW wasn't all that big of a promotion and was mainly well known through the internet. I think a lot of the casual wrestling fans won't know what XPW was.

My cat Pampers, who was also fat, did the same thing! When she wanted to be fed and people were sleeping, she'd find a open door, jump on the bed, walk on your chest and would look you right in the face and meow at you until you woke up. One time I didn't get up so she bit me in the nose. I miss Pampers a lot.

Luna doesn't like pictures taken of her does she?

Hollywood Blondes did this impersonation to Ric Flair. Funny as hell. Ok...but thats Steve Austin and Brian Pillman, not Chris Sabin, big differance.

Me and two others used to be that way when we worked at Gamecrazy. We really enjoyed our job and enjoyed our customers and found that was the best way to help them. We'd ask about them maybe pre-ordering something or we'd let them know about MVP card but we never put any pressure on anyone to pre-order a game or buy a MVP card. If they said no, we told them okie dokie and just moved along, unless the MVP card actually did save them enough money to where the MVP was either really cheap or it was pretty much free then we'd ask them again about it while letting them know how much they were actually going to save or how cheap the card was going to be and even when the company wanted us to put pressure on our customers we let them know that the company wants us to push something and thats why we're asking them about it. Me and the other two guys really enjoyed that job, it sucks the way a District Manager and a manager tried their damnest to try and get rid of us until all 3 of us just got fed up with it and left.....well technically one was fired but you get what I ment. I miss that store and those customers a lot.

That doesn't make much sense, espically since RVD has lost to Holly quite a few times already. Its not like Tuesday was RVD's first lost agasint Holly.

Yeah, I guess so. A friend of mine told me tonight that a few guys already saw Waltman vs Vampiro on Friday. MTV is so fucked up.

...what happen when you got drunk?

Im still dissapointed they never went any further with the Diamonds In The Rough. I felt that had a lot of potential as a tag team, and it actually made me enjoy Skippers in ring work since his time with XXX. really? I was very surprised that Skpper was even put with the Diamonds in the rough as they were promoted as TNA's job squad at first.

From what I saw, Tuesday's show and the "pilot" were the same episode...which I was pissed at since I recorded them both. This was the same for everyone else, right? Oh were they? Someone had told me those were the same show but I wasn't 100% sure, and your the 2nd guy to tell me that so I guess the two airings were the same show. Thats weird of MTV to do that. So the next show on Tuesday should be Waltman vs Vampiro? I was playing count the camera cuts to the fans during the WSX extra match....but I lost, I lost count.

Has anyone seen this movie yet? If not, I recommand it, very funny movie....and it has penguins. You can't beat that!

Here are the results for Saturday Shockwave Match 1: D-Unit vs Frank Bomber Winner by pinfall; D-Unit Match 2: In a flag on a pole match it was Pvt. Robbie Gilmore vs Alexis Smirnoff Jr. Winner by pulling the U.S. Flag from the pole; Pvt. Robbie Gilmore What happen afterwards: While Gilmore was celebrating, Smirnoff pulled the Russian flag from the pole and hit Gilmore with it. Smirnoff then threaten and almost burnet the American flag but Gilmore's tag partner Sgt. Tank Bomber attacked Smirnoff from behind stopping Smirnoff from burning the U.S. Flag. After Tank hit stopped Alexis Smirnoff Jr. Tank threw Smirnoff back into the ring and both Tank Bomber and Robbie Gilmore beat the hell out of Smirnoff and ended up leaving waving the U.S. Flag nice and hight. Match 3: The Big Ugly JD Bishop vs Rik Luxury vs El Chupacabra in a 3-way dance. Winner: Chupacabra by DQ.... During the match Pogo The Clown came out and distracted The Big Ugly which caused Luxury and Chupi to both roll Ugly up for a pinfall to elimate Big Ugly from the match and as soon as Ugly was gone, Pogo then got into the ring and attacked Chupacabra causing El Chupacabra to pick up the win by DQ. After the match was over, Rik Luxury grabbed the Mic and told Doug E Bucks that he wasn't happy about being in Pogo's shadow and that Doug E. Bucks wasn't following through with his promises. So to make Rik happy, Doug E. bucks promised Rik a shot at the U.S. title that Cyanide currently holds. Match 4: D-Unit vs 1/2 of the BRAWL Tag Team Champions, A Pimp Named Virgil. Winner by pinfall; D-Unit. Match 5: In a Gauntlet match for the BRAWL Heavyweight Championship, Pogo The Clown put his belt on the line against 3 contenders. Contender #1: The very confused.....crossed dresser Saito Hayahsi Pogo made quick work of Hayahsi and called out for the next contender even though Hayashi wasn't elimated. Contender #2: Cassy Summers Pogo was a bit confused about why a girl was challanging for his title, but Cassy stepped up to Pogo and the two started going at it but it was easy work for Pogo has he was just really to much for her and after taking care of Cassy and throwing her over the ropes, he called out for his other contender. Contender #3: Jesus Cruz Cruz then made his way out had Pogo rocking for a second until Pogo stopped Cruz in his tracks. After clearing the ring of Hayashi, Cassy Summers, and Jesus Cruz, Pogo started yelling how there was no competion...well that was until the Big Ugly JD Bishop came out. The Big Ugly quickly made his way into the ring and Pogo and Bishop got in each other faces and when Pogo had his back turned, Mr. Drake Frost who was doing ring security quickly slid under the ropes and low blowed Pogo bringing Pogo down to his knees. The Big Ugly and Mr. Frost along with Jesus Cruz started beating the crap out of Pogo to the crowds pleasure. After a few minutes of the beat down, Pogo laid knocked out in the middle of the ring as Frost and the Big Ugly left him laying in the ring. Doug E Bucks, who was handcuffed to a post for this match, was released from his handcuffs and grabbed the mic and booked The Big Ugly JD Bishop vs Pogo the Clown for the BRAWL Heavyweight Title. Doug E then promised that it would end on Feb. 23rd and that Pogo would beat Bishop and kill off SPW. Match 6: For the BRAWL Internet Title it was Jason Vega vs The Internet Champion, DJ Rizz. Winner and NEW BRAWL INTERNET CHAMPION Jason Vega by pinfall. What happen: When it looked like DJ Rizz had the match in the bag, The Sheik Kahn Abodi came out and before Ref Guido could make the 3 count when Rizz was pinning Vega, Sheik pulled the Ref from the ring and knocked him out. While the Sheik was distracting Dj Rizz by taunting him on the outside of the ring, someone else dressed similar to the Sheik stuck into the ring and put a cloth up to DJ Rizz's face, then all of a sudden Rizz was out. This mystery guy then took Jason Vega and put Jason's arm over Rizz's body and when the Ref came to, counted to 3 for the pinfall, crowning Jason Vega as the new internet champion. After the match was over, Dj Rizz's tag partner, D-Unit ran out to try and help his partner but by the time he hit the ring, Kahn Abodi got behind him and put the same cloth to his face and that put D-Unit out as well. The Ref tried to stop it but it didn't help any as he also got a cloth to the face and ended up passing out as well. The mystery sheik then took off his turban and it turned out to be Frank Bomber. Sheik called him by a different name and said that Frank Bomber was dead. Then the two walked out leaving the Surburban Commandos and the Ref laying in the ring. BRAWL returns on Feb. 23rd. I'll put a pre-view up as soon as I get one.
