WTF, fight? No, I did not see that. I was upper deck, right field just into foul territory (above the milk jug). Where was the fight?
-
I'll give this more coverage in the next entry. Five minutes earlier and you'd have made tonight. Suffice to say, Piss made one good-ass dessert for him and his on Easter. Or, will make. I don't know.

Lapse in judgement. Plus I'm like Kurt Angle. I try to play heel but I'm just so very popular that I get cheered.
-
I look forward to your tennis stories.
You have to remember that I'm NOT very good. I can play a whole match (or I could last summer) and I love the game, but that doesn't equate to talent.
I, Mr. Hoff, yours truly....I was Heel Turn.Uh, omg ban plz?
I'll ban YOU! ...Somehow.
-
That's the point. And it's coming right now...
-
If I can stay awake worth a damn, I'll have a new entry up tonight, concerning last night's RAW and the state of affairs in general.
-
I'm glad that the two people who read and comment have brains.
Alf: re: OAOAST
I'll...get back to you on that.

I'm curious; what would it take for you to not like the Spirit Squad? What would constitute screwing up? I have no answer of my own, because I can't stand it -- more power to you, man, but I can't handle that act. It just seems like a distraction. They used it well with the Mickie segment, but I can't imagine many more such opportunities.
-
Well, thank you, Alf.
I really think that they could use Saturday Night's Main Event as a springboard for a lot of stuff. I hope they do something of note. It's the same as NYR -- when you show that major events can take place at minor shows, it makes people want to tune in.

I'm oddly reminded of the "Big Johnson" line of t-shirts. I remember really wanting the DX parody one when I was 15 or 16. I even remember the members of the group: Double D, X Rated, Nice Ass, and I believe Doggy Style. If I ever saw my son wearing that shirt, I'd shoot him, then myself. Good times.
-
Well, all right, but if it ends up sucking, come talk to me and we'll do something. You know I always wanted to work together. Rob, if you're lurking...same story.
I'm-a close this thread now, since it's way off-topic. New entries soon.
-
Yeah, by the way, "retired" doesn't mean the same as "going to another promotion." Congrats on your sour grapes, and I hope the SWF tolerates bullshit a lot better than the OAOAST does.

RE: Mooch. My dad brought up an interesting point. Marriuci had a hell of a run in San Fran, but then again, the framework was kinda laid already. Contrarily, he didn't do well in Detroit, but look at what he had to work with. Matt Millen at the helm, Kevin "Hype" Jones, Joey Harrington, and a very spotty defense. I mean, Jason Hanson can't do it all. The Vikes, I think, would be a very interesting situation for him -- a young team, on the brink of being a contender, with a lot of raw talent, with a new owner, but one sorely in need of direction. Denny Green would likely run this Viking team into the ground. Could Mooch do better? I, personally, would love to see it.

Prefer to be given only finish and call everything else in the ring? Lay the entire match out beforehand?
I'd like to wing most of it. I wouldn't, at first. I think the ability to do that is very impressive.
Like to have your promo's scripted? Or just be given a couple of bullet points, and wing the rest?
If they scripted it, I'd go off-script. I couldn't be limited like that.
Blade often? Only on occasion? Would you rather never blade at all?
Only on very rare occasion -- once every year, or maybe even less. Guys like HHH, HBK, Hogan, et al who ALWAYS blade make it seem so fake.
What style would you like to wrestle? Why would you prefer to employ that particular style over others?
I'd want to be a power-wrestling heel, because I think I could do it well. I love seeing guys hit a big move; seeing someone just leveled by a clothesline, or watching a back broken by a powerbomb. I also think I could learn to sell and bump well, as I have a decent pain threshold, and it's impressive to see a 6'5, 300lb. guy get beat up by a plucky babyface.
Refuse to take certain moves? Only take them when working with certain wrestlers?
I wouldn't take headdrops from anyone I didn't trust. But if I did trust the person I was in there with, I'd take anything. A lot of my favorites -- Rock, Kanyon, Rey -- were willing to take anything and make it look good.
Are there any match types you'd like to wrestle in a lot? Some match types you'd rather never have to work in?
I grew up on ladder matches and, if I ever was to be a professional wrestler, I'd almost need to have one at some point. I just think there's so much you can do in that type of match, even after all the ones we've seen. I would rather never work the "hardcore" style, or the deathmatch style. I don't care for weapons, really, beyond chairs and tables.
What style of normal match would you like to do the most? Would you prefer to sell or to dominate? Would you like to do long matches?
Well, I'd prefer to both sell AND dominate, as detailed above. But I wouldn't ever be afraid to show ass. As much as I love submission matches, I don't think I'd be good at them, or really enjoy them as a participant. I'd love to do an Iron Man match, as long as I had the cardio for it, because, again, it's something you wouldn't expect from a big man.
Would you like to have a manager or valet to work spots with or would you rather just do it all yourself?
I'd like to have a manager, valet, or even both at some point...but, if I ever made it to the top, I'd like to do it on my own.
Are there some types of angles that you would refuse to do? Some types of angles that you'd love to do?
I'd refuse to do something racist or otherwise prejudiced. I think there's a place for television to touch on that subject, but wrestling isn't it. Other than that, not much. I love the spectacle of the business. I'd LOVE to be the heel who allies with the face after the other heels beat him down -- the "common enemy" angle. I think it's a great way to turn face. Show you have honor, etc.
What promotion would you like to work for the most? What promotion would you hate to work for?
Right now, I'd love to be a part of TNA. I think if they can get a few non-X guys that are decent, guys like Christian, they can be really special. I'd hate to work for some indy deathmatch fed, like an XPW.
What promotion of the past would you most liked to have worked for? What promotion would you have hated working for the most?
Any wrestlers today that you'd like to work against? Any you would avoid working against at all costs?
I can't even imagine working against HBK right now. It makes me too giddy. I'd also love to work against Angle. A big suplexfest. Rey would be a fun match. I'd hate to work with Cena, HHH, or JBL.
What wrestlers from the past would you like to work against? What wrestlers from the past would you not want to work against?
I'd love to be able to work with Bret Hart. He seems like the kind of worker that'd make you better for working with him.
Turns out the Twins are awesome.

Every fan counts.
As far as Nathan being better than Eddie...MAYBE. I'd have to look at the career numbers, but Nathan is much more intimidating than Eddie, between his size and his ridiculous heat. Not that Eddie couldn't throw, mind you. Eddie's rep was built on being out there each night, hence the "Everyday Eddie" nickname. Both guys are clutch...in the end, and I know it's the fanboysm talking, but I'd rather have Joe out there.
