Ah, gotcha. Nothing like gathering at a late night diner and recounting stories of drunken debauchery and Hershey squirts.

That's odd to hear that, since I was figuring Show/Rey could team up during Van Dam's absence. I'd be for that team.

Beer doesn't make me shit all that much. You guys have weak stomachs.

I think it's either WWC or IWA in Puerto Rico that has been/is using people dressed as Mucha Lucha characters and feuding.

Watch...now that you say that, he's going to dump Joy for Big Bad Mama from GLOW or something. Then they'll go on to squash the Bashams for the tag belts.

The Kidman/London program had more heat before it got cut off than any of JBL's programs. Angle is being booked like a tool. So much for the "Honor Society" or whatever the planned name for he, Reigns and Jindrak was. Big Show went from a career resurgence to fat man in love. JBL is, well, JBL. Bashams shouldn't have won the belts. I'd have given them to Eddie and Booker, and feuded them with a returning Dudley team. Dupree is still in the doghouse apparently. Also love how since Haas got the women out of his life and was supposed to be "on the right track", he's been stricken to the B show.

*Points to earlier in thread where he made comments about WWE's lack of attention to OVW tag teams.* Seriously, the lack of tag teams is killing things just as bad as these forced, bland newcomers are. Sometimes (re: Bashams on SD!) they're one and the same. Masters and Albright should have been called up together. They went from being Johnny Ace's "Troubleshooters" in the Team Players stable, to a split so that one can come on RAW and rub his abs. Oooooh. Same with Melina Perez. Nevermind that she's the ultimate bitch (character wise) in OVW, and she, Joey Matthews and Johnny Nitro are more over than anyone expected them to be. Nitro has been off TV long enough where he can come up repackaged, and if Matthews isn't under a deal (last I knew he was in OVW on his own accord to be close to real life g/f Alexis Laree), sign him up if he's doing so well. Instead, we get Jesus rushed up to SD! after one OVW match, or some such nonsense. They want to expand developmental, yet can't even maintain what they have going on there now. Cornette himself has just sat back and shrugged at the horrible misuse of talent, or calling the wrong guys up at the wrong time.

Super Crazy actually made a decent heel in *gasp* XPW when he feuded with Psychosis and took a spike to carve up his face. Obviously this probably wouldn't be the WWE's route to go, but it was still pretty cool.

This is interesting. In an Observer about a month ago, they told a story about how McMahon was considering a luchadore/Mexican wrestler for a role, and Heyman recommended Crazy. McMahon turned to Heyman, and dead seriously said "Paul, we have enough Japanese wrestlers, don't we?"

The whining, or the fellatio hat?

You know what JAxl needs right now? A SEXY PARTY!

Being able to get the tapes through work is a bonus, but I've followed OVW since 1999-2000 or so. That's why I'll stick up for The Bashams on occasion, or bitch about the misuse of Rob Conway in La Rez. Because I know they're capable of better. Watching these guys in OVW is a complete 180 from seeing them on RAW and SD! (well, most of them). This gimmick won't go anywhere, because it's a redux of a gimmick they just tried six months ago. Although it's not as bad as calling up Melina to be Faceless Bimbo #34 on RAW rather than utilize the awesome MNM trio (Joey Matthews, Melina and Johnny Nitro) that have improved tenfold since they were grouped together.

Unless you follow OVW, you wouldn't have.

He's been mediocre at best in OVW. Though he and Brent Albright made a good team as The Troubleshooters, so of course they get split up so Masters can come in as Jindrak Junior.

Hey, take the sand out of your vagina, will ya?

Paging Mr. Oblivion, Mr. Agent Of Oblivion.

Post counts don't apply to Hardcore Discussion. That, or Agent's fucking with him.

From what I know about it, it was unrelated to the incident, and was a heart attack (or something else). Kulas actually lived a town over from me, so the whole deal was a big story around these parts. I also thought the blading deal during the incident was not that New Jack intentionally cut him deep, but that Kulas panicked when he was to be cut, and him trying to escape the cut led to him getting bladed too harshly.

They're related. Unless that was sarcasm, in which case overlook this post.

My question: will they actually be called up as a tag team? Since, y'know, no other OVW tag team has been.

Casino Brawl 2? Kinda fitting that Cortez is one of the guy's that made that match famous, and now his partner is in one.

You sure it's not "Back To Paradise" by .38 Special?

I thought it was "Right Here, Right Now" by Jesus Jones?

Oh shit, TSM has spawned the next Weird Al.
