Here are the pics Eugene talking with the Ref The Highlanders! Umaga and Estrada Carlito and Nitro Orton Cena wearing the Crimson Mask Spirit Squad DX

Nope, they had the shirts on, but they had their normal ring gear on.

No Doubt

So I went to this indy show here tonight at the request of a friend. My past experience with Indy Shows is sleazy promoters advertising big name stars that don't show up, but I ended up being plesently surprised. We were waiting in line for a bit, until a guy that works with my friend came out and waved for us to come in through the back with him. Just as we were walking towards the back, Christian, Chris Sabin, and Abyss (no mask) pulled up in their car. Sabin and Abyss just kind of went towards the back, but Christian stuck around for a bit and met with us, really nice guy. Christian, Sabin, Abyss, and Jim Duggan were all signing autographs (for a fee of course), and Tommy Dreamer showed up later too, and signed my new ECW book. THe merchandise tables at this show were surprisingly good, they had newer shirts, and I was in heaven with all the tape dealers. I must have speant nearly 100 bucks on tapes tonight, I got some ECW stuff, including Mass Transit, WCW Souled Out 1997 which I've never been able to track down, The Terry Funk / Cactus Jack deathmatch show from Japan, Super J Cup 94, and some tape that was labled "Worst of WCW 2000" which I just couldn't pass up. One guy wanted 5 bucks a tape, which is a steal compared to what most other guys get for their stuff, so I bought most of my stuff from him, but his selection was smaller. The other guy that was there was BBrownVideo, his selection was huge, but his prices were higher, 10 bucks per tape, so I only bought a few from him. The first match on the show was two local guys, Joe Daniels, and some other guy whose name I don't remember. This was very basic stuff, headlocks, irish whips, etc. It was nothing special, but it wasn't too bad. Joe Daniels won the match Second match had some some big guy with his big fat manager get squashed by Jim Duggan. Duggan looked terrible, and if he's really doing this becasue he needs the money, and not because he loves doing it, then I truely feel bad for him. Third match was another 2 local guys. Some blonde Ken Kennedy look alike, aagainst some guy with the word Curry on his tights. Similar to the first match, just a lot of basic stuff. The Blonde guy won. Next up was Justin Credible and Tom Devito vs Ron Zombie, no DQ match. This wasn't very good at all, just a lot of weapons, and Devito ended up getting put through a table by Zombie. Zombie won the match. After Intermission was Xavier vs Jay Lethal. This was a really good match, and made me appreciate the X-Division even more. I understand why TNA features thesse guys a lot, but it also gets kind of redundent after a while. Xavier won. Tommy Dreamer came out next and explained that since he just signed a new WWE contract for ECW, that he was not able to wrestle, so he did ref duty for the next match. Next up was Chris Sabin vs Abyss in a hardcore match. Usual Abyss stuff, he hits all his power moves, while Sabin is reletively unsuccessful with his high flying offense. Abyss ended up attacking Dreamer after he pulled him off Sabin when he was choking him int he corer. Dreamer came back and beat Abyss with the Kendo Stick. Match went No Contest after Abyss walked to the back. Some tag team called Sex and Violins doing a wannabe AMW gimmick came out next. They fought The Heart THrobs. Supposedly from what I hear, The Heart Throbs aren't even booked regularly, they just follow the promotion around and hope for a payday. This match was ok, but nothing special. Heart Throbs had some stripper looking chick with them, who distracted one of the Sex and Violins guys and allowed Heart Throbs to get the pinned. Finally the main event was Christian Cage vs AJ Styles. This was really good, all the major sports were his, including Styles Spinal Tap. Match ended with the Unprettier on Styles allowing Christian to get the pin. Overall this was a great show, it definitely increased my respect for TNA, and Christian and Dreamer were really nice guys as well. I'd definitley go to the next one when they come around.

So I was at this Indy show last night, and one of the guys on the card was Hacksaw Jim Duggan. Now Hacksaw, the poor guy, looked terrible. I know the man beat cancer, and as far as other people in his age bracket go, he doesn't look too bad, but he still looks like a 55 year old guy out there in the ring. The question I have though, is when these legends like Duggan or Snuka wrestle on these Indy Shows out in the middle of no where, are they doing it because they just enjoy wrestling, they like meetign the fans, and just come out to have fun, or are they doing it because they legitimately need the couple hundred bucks they get from the payoff to make a living? Are some of these guys going to be wrestling into their 60's and 70's just to keep making enough money to pay the bills?

Now see, I was the toal opposite. I was a huge Hogan mark, and seeing him get killed on The Brother Love Show scared the shit out of me back in the day. His debut where he squashes The Warrior on the other hand...... So, Let's discuss, what's your favorite Earthquake match / moment? The one segment that always sticks out in my mind was his feud with Yokozuna in 1994, which led to the Sumo Match on RAW. It was pretty stupid, but it was different at the same time. I remember being pissed too the enxt week then they replaced Eqarthquake in the KOTR tournament with Doink, after showing clips of him getting squashed at a House Show.

I mark out for really really tall or really really fat wrestlers

Pro-Wrestling, VIdeo Games, and Politics.

I'm going to try to hit at least one show, probobly the one is Fallburg, MA. Why do one out in the sticks in Massachusetts? I can't ever really remember ECW running MA on a consistant basis, but they would always draw large crowds here in Connecticut.

I'm sure there must be a study out there that prooves there are some things that certain people are just physically incapable of doing for some reason. Floating is impossible for me, my body just can't do it, I just sink to the bottom. Maybe it has something to do with an imbalance of body weight of some sort? I also cannot snap my fingers, I'm not sure why, and I never really cared to investigate, but it's just not possible.

It's too bad Ken Kennedy was injured prior to King of the Ring. Do you think VInce would have the balls to crown King Ken Kennedy , with the gimmick being that Kennedy is completely oblivious to the faux pas of his intials, and is shocked when Booker T and Bobby Lashley kick his ass.

If he really does have all this dudes info, then why not get the FBI or something to track him down?

The Cranium Crunch was awful, but the all time worst finisher has to be the Discus Punch.

Yeah, Juggernaut is portaryed in the movie as a mutant, probobly becasue it would be too complicated to explain his origin in a film that's already way too convoluted such as this. My overall problem with the film is just that they tried to cram too much into this one 2 hour film. This is really at least 3 different films in one, and it suffers as a result. There's just way too much going on, and there's no room left at all for any emotion or depth. Yeah, it was better then Fantastic Four and the 2 Schumacher Batman films, but that's not saying anything at all. You wanna know what the best part of this film was? The trailer for Snakes on a Plane. It's just so fucking rediculous that it has to be seen. Ghost Rider looks pretty good too.

The botched spot at the end of the womens match at Wrestlemania is completely edited off the DVD.

Good show overall tonight. Typical WCW-esque show, everything was solid up until the main event. Benoit vs Finlay was fantastic, and I was shocked that they got almost 20 minutes, the rest of the roster should really be taking notes from these guys. I almost went into convulsions laughing at how bad Undertaker vs Khali was, that match is going to be legendary. The ME wasn't bad, but was fairly standard stuff. On that note, was tonight the first time The Undertaker has ever lost 100% Clean? I can't think of a single other match in which he has lost without the use of a weapon, or because of outside interference. Anyone?

So, where is this Vito Cross Dressing angle going to go?

I manage a Regal theater, but we're not one of the ones showing playing this, but strangely enough the home office still makes us advertise for it.

Those lower back tattoos that all the girls have now are tacky as hell, and a really big turn off. When I see a girl with a tatoo like that, it just screams "slut" to me. Oh, and definitly avoid tatoos like this http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/2259/tattoos0093yt.jpg

Did you hear about the, uh, black woman, who got an abortion? Crime stoppers sent her a check for 200 dollars.

Pfft, at the mall I work at, I see 6 year olds now with Cell Phones.

I still support my party, and still support my President, even if I don't agree with all of his current policies. If the day comes when the Democrats can all come together and develop one, solid, consistnat platform, rather then the 100 people with 100 different agendas and opinions that they seem to be now, then maybe I'll give them a chance. That's the inherent problem with the two party system, it really doesn't even narrow itself down to "Republicans" and "Democrats" anymore, the two parties can are better classified as "Republicans" and "Not Republicans". The Democratic party it seems is comprised of environmentalists, socialists, moderates, big government supporters, hippies, people who want to raise taxes, people who want to spend more money on social issues, etc. etc. etc. Outside of the far right fringe groups like Fred Phelps and the KKK, who don't even consider themselves Republicans in the first place, you don't see any sort of dissention like this on the right. The right can at least come to a concensus on issues like immigration, abortion, foreign policy, fiscal matters, and social reform, while each person who considers themselves to be a Dmeocrat has a different opinion on these issues.

Yeah, you're right, my bad. That Shane vs Angle match is is abotu the only bright spot on the 2001 show too.

Top 3 worst for me are Uncensored 96' Two marginally all right mid-card matches topped off by the worst main event in the history of all professional wrestling that has occured or has yet to occur Great American Bash 1991 The show which is mentioned by most as being the worst of all time. I've only ever seen the VHS Release which is edited, but still really really bad. I've heard the original PPV airing is even worse King of the Ring 2000 Even a vastly overrated Angle vs Mcmahon match couldn't save this dog. Largely forgotten due it's lack of any significance whatsoever. The most important part of this show is the early foreshadowing of the political power Triple H would later wield, as he loses the World Title without even getting pinned. This show may not be as overwhelmingly bad as KOTR 1995 or 1997, but this one just sticks out in my head as being really really bad.
