It's true. Kenzo's done it before. Literally. Kenzo Suzuki is a murderer?

I wonder who told Barnett. And how can Jeff Jarrett get ousted as booker IN HIS OWN COMPANY?

Well, other than the two we already mentioned, yeah. I have some issues with a few of his ratings, but usually he's pretty on the mark I think.

He gave Angle/Benoit from the Rumble ****3/4. There's a full list at: http://www.geocities.com/mfoy18/wwfstarlist.html

Somehow I doubt Ultimo Dragon is going to win the IC title... Wasn't Ahmed supposed to get the title shot on this show, or was that Canadian Stampede the next month? (And then of course, he got hurt)

I forget if I mentioned this already in this thread, but the end of the Mind Games 96 tag title match is funny. It's Smoking Gunns vs. Bulldog and Owen. The end comes when Bulldog hits the running powerslam on Billy. Billy runs in to "break up the pin" and the spot is that Owen is supposed to hit a spinning heel kick on him to stop him. But goofy just kind of drunkenly staggers into it and it just looks hilarious. I hope somebody knows what I'm talking about.

Yeah, I noticed Snitsky's bacne too. Sonjay Dutt in TNA has a lot too.

He also gave Bret vs. Austin at WM13 *****.

Actually that was a typo, he gave the first Joe/Punk match ****1/4.

Steroids are bad, kids. They'll fuck ya up.

I wonder what Dupree did that pissed Bob off. Probably not much. Christ, this guy is just ridiculous.

Why does Heyman hate Corino?

Wrestlepalooza isn't great match wise, but booking wise, the stuff from Raven/Dreamer to Taz/Douglas is fucking fantastic.

Because it says TV-MA on the front I guess.

Is Shelley going to miss this card because of TNA's PPV that weekend?

IWA Mid-South Wrestling, in association with NWA Midwest, presented "2004: An IWA Freak-A-Thon" on Friday, 11/19 at the National Guard Armory in Bloomington, IN. Here's what went down... 1. JC BAILEY def. DANNY DEMANTO after hitting the Bardstown Bam top rope legdrop. 2. DAVEY ANDREWS def. BRANDON THOMASELLI & JOSH ABERCROMBIE in a three-way bout when Andrews pinned Abercrombie. 3. "Spyder" NATE WEBB & MATT SYDAL def. PETEY WILLIAMS & DELIRIOUS when Sydal pinned Delirious. 4. DAIZEE HAZE def. TRACY BROOKS & MICKIE KNUCKLES in a three-way match after Haze hit the Daizee Cutter on Brooks. 5. BJ WHITMER def. IAN ROTTEN when JIM FANNIN tripped Rotten and held his leg down during the count. 6. ALEX SHELLEY def. "The New Age Punisher" B-BOY via submission with the Border City Stretch. 7. CM PUNK def. JIMMY JACOBS via submission with the Anaconda Vise. The event was filmed for home video release by Smart Mark Video, with commentary by Dave Prazak, CM Punk, Jim Fannin, and Nate Webb. ================== From RealDeal on the IWA boards for the 11/20 results: "Crowd was down, I'd say it was the lowest since the June show, but that's just a guess. I'd say close to 200 people were there, again just a guess. Ian came out to open the show with CM Punk. Punk said he just wanted to clear up the rumors as to why he was not going to be on the show at first. He said it was because Ian sold tapes to the boy toucher & he hates that guy & doesn't want to put money in his pockets. Punk said he was prepared to forfeit the belt a couple of weeks ago when this happened but Ian promised him he wouldn't sell tapes to the guy again. Punk said there are three places to get tapes from, IWA, SMV & the guy who tried to solicit a 14 year old boy for sex, don't buy tapes from him as he charges to much S&H & his service sucks. Punk left & Ian talked about the money problems, he said thy weren't that bad & everythng will be straightened out soon. Ian announced that some of the Wilside guys including Rainman will be on the 12/12 show & also Terry Funk will be there. Oh yeah, Balls Mahoney called Ian while he was giving his speech. Highland told Balls hello. No big deal, just thought I'd add that little tidbit. They had the battle royal to start& it was over in about two minutes. I'm almost positive Punk came out in a Conquistadors type outfit, with mask & all. He just kept thrusting people in the throat until he was eliminated. Brandon Thomaselli won by eliminating Webb & Andrews at the same time. Trik Davis beat Chandler McClure by DQ when Cash Flo interfered. Crpl. Robinson made the save. It turned into a tag match & Davis pinned McClure. Corp did nothing. Davey Andrews over Matt Turner & Josh Abercrombie. This was kinda sloppy & Abercrombie looks kinda gay. I'm sure his a nice guy & all, but is he getting booked because he's Jimmy Jacobs roommate. I mean he was greener then the trainees. Maybe it was just who he was in there with, I don't know. After the match, Andrews spit on an albino kid. No really, an albino. Buy the tape. Alex Shelley came out & said Petey Williams got hurt last night & couldn't wrestle but he had a special tag team partner who has recovered from his injury. Arik Cannon's music hit & Petey came out with a trash bag on & padding to make it look like he had a gut. They ran down Cannon for quitting just because he broke his collarbone. Shelley said what kind of guy quits from a broken collarbone. The irony of it all. Boz & Bradley over Shelley & Williams. Petey mimicked the Road Dogg & Jeff Jarrett in this match, which was kind of depressing. I have no idea why they ran down Cannon like that, seeing as though he was a heel. I guess when he comes back he won't be. Rain over Mickie, I love Mickie's jailhouse/homemade tatoo on her forearm. It's HOT. Whitmer beat Daniels in a finishers match. The action was pretty good, but the logic was retarded. They tried to pin each other with the other guys finisher, when the rules of the match clearly stated you couldn't get a pinfall that way. Fannin took a piledriver. Whitmer gave Daniels three exploder suplexes before he could finish him. Daizee Haze beat Traci Brooks. This was alright (seriously, it was) & Traci looked pretty nice tonight. I still prefer the school girl outfit from the tag tourney but what can ya do. Daizee worked over Traci's leg most of the match. Traci sold really well. Maybe next month Daizee & Lacey will have their iron woman match. Steve Stone over Ian Rotten in what turned out to just be a tables match. Ring announcer Joey Eastman said later that Ian broke his collarbone. I saw Ian after the show & he was all bandaged up. Seems legit but who knows. Matt Sydal won a triple threat match with B-Boy & Nate Webb by pinning B-Boy. Match was a lot of fun, but just a TON of highspots & kicking out of all kinds of devasting moves. Everyone danced afterward. Good times. Jacobs over Delirious in a first blood match when Delirious hit the title belt & his hand started bleeding. They brawled afterwards & will have a title versus mask match on 12/12. CM Punk beat Thomaselli. Good match. Punk beat he shit out of him for a long time. Good nearfalls at the end. I'm glad Punk won though. Good show, nothing can't miss really, except for the albino. But worth my time & money for the evening. Now if they would just announce some matches for Valpo. Oh yeah, Ian said they will be running in Joliet in the new year."

What are the best matches you can think of under 5 minutes? Under 10 minutes? Here's two that come to mind for me: Owen Hart vs. 123 Kid from KOTR 94, was under 4 minutes. Angle vs. Misterio from Summerslam 2002, about 8-9 minutes, I've always loved this match. What do you think?

Nah, Joe will win. I think. Joe still has big title matches possible with Corino, Ki, Aries, Nigel, even Shelley. He can hold on to the belt for a little longer, at least past the anniversary show.

That Smigel skit was horrible.

Me too.
