Bruce Blank

LOL I love how you had to point out "that's 230 pounds or below" since the federation is like 2/3rds Cruiserweights On a side note, if you're going for a multiman type of match and is a body short to make it work feel free to throw in Wayne Blank to get his ass kicked

Talk about LAAAAAAAAAAAAAME! I mean why in the hell did they even rehire Karzarian then if it was such a big problem for them that he left for the WWE? "Oh let's punish this guy by jobbing him, but we'll still pay him and give him national exposure" - yeah if you REALLY wanted to punish someone just don't ever use them or mention them. Or maybe this is fucked up "Wrestling logic" that I don't get?

3 (toxxic) - 1 (Spike) And thanks JJJ I appriciate it - I couldn't think of two guys more suited for the style I want to try and run with than Bruce & Grappler, hell I could see them on the card for WrestleMania III and not be out of place. And yes that is the type of stuff I'm talking about when I talk about old school - some of the things are a major departure from the general SWF style like the fact that the psychology of the match wasn't limb psychology and it didn't involve 800 near-3 counts. And most importantly: I enjoyed writing it

It's either that or Mask Vs Mask where the twist is that the loser will have to wear a mask for a month, a really embarrasing one but yeah "I quit" sounds good. Not a submission match, not a "will he tap"-fest

You peaked in my spreadsheet didn't you? No actually it's slightly more respectable From January 2004 til now: 46 - 57 - 2 - 3 (That's wins - losses - draws - Double no shows)

Magic or maybe it's a personal hygiene issue? You're the ONLY person I've ever no showed so I think the big problem is you

Ah Jay you are the wind beneath my wings and yes my decission to give it a more old school vibe is from Hawke's reign and from a rather long discussion on the boards about getting rid of a title and what defined each title etc. where the idea that this title was more of an old school type of title. And well Blank has from day 1 been more old school than not so really it's a natural progression.

"turn into another hardcore title"?? - I'll be kind and presume that you're referring to when I didn't hold it and promoted it as actually being a big deal in the federation It'll go one of three ways: the angle is ignored by everyone but me I drop the belt quickly and then it'll be just a bleep in the long run or I make it work and like I said - I'm not interested in turning the title into a hardcore stipulation type of belt, but for Bruce / Akira part 12 it makes sense. Otherwise I'd only really expect the title matches to have some sort of stipulation if it's properly built, in the same vein as the world title.

Newsflash!! Spike Jenkins doesn't get it News at 11. . . no wait, that's actually the extend of it And hey if I'm going to establish my reign as anything isn't it better to start off right away? Which I felt I did against Charlie Matthews, which to me was an old school power brawl between two guys who may not have a lot of finesse but know how to make power and drama work for them, I tried to draw a lot of inspiration from my late eighties tapes. It's not about violence, it's about taking the style back to the older times where tables were a rarity, where thumbtacts or lighttubes never saw the light of day and barbwire usually only came into play during a sneak attack angle but it was more about the emotion of the match, the impact - not 5 shots with a cookie sheet or 3 flippity moves that are instantly no-sold. Oh and any title Blank holds will be a "violent" title to some extent, cause he's a violent man and to write him any other way would be to change his character. I'm not saying that all the matches have to have Streetfights or the likes. Outside of the best of 3 falls those stipulations were just the ones that popped into my head in the 4 seconds I thought about it. I'm just saying that my approach to matches will be more Jerry Lawler in Memphis or the Road Warriors pre-1990 to try and mix that flavor into it. I just said that I'd like the Bruce/Akira title match to have some sort of old school stip to it - since we've faced off like 11 times since Akira made his debut, Since we've already got an established heated past with each other, since I did a major dirty on him during the 4 way for the International title - because of the history then THAT match should have a stipulation Not all the matches So Spike Jenkins doesn't get it at all.

What and totally abandon the character I've built? That's like asking you to start cheating. *tisk*tisk* what a suggestion

And I realize that some of these could fall in the Hardcore division - but it's the mentality of it all, it's not about hitting each other with a bunch of weapons, it's more about the emotion of it, the impact, the story of it. At least to me.

Exactly Pure Rules is NOT old School and have I been writing matches that'd make you think I'm "pure rules"? A concession stand brawl is old school, a 2 out of 3 falls is old school, Street fight, "something on a pole" is old school and so on, basically if it's been created before say 1992 it'll fit into the "Old School" ways I think (to me the day Bret became the world champ for the first time the school went from old to new)

Considering D'Amore later apologized it could easily have been Joe standing up for something with D'Amore coming off as the ass. I love how he moans about the potato from Steiner - "JOE IS GONNA KIL"-*POW!!* Awww, oh my eye, my freaking eye *sob*sob* LOL

Is she alright now? and hey maybe Landon didn't show either

Still on the fictional tour I see - I mean what is this Can-uh-duh of which you speak? Bruce will appear although with what I've planned out promo wise it doesn't work as an opening promo so that's still up for grabs. Note to Taamo: If you're planning on booking Bruce/Akira for the Intl. title maybe throw in some sort of Old School stip for it because A) We've got a lot of history between us (nah it's just so that I can murderdeathkillerize him ) B) I want to try and promote the International title as more of an "Old school" title over the Garbage wars of the Hardcore division and the spot fests of the Cruiserweight division.

LOL I almost made the same comment about mine being 9+ K considering I did 25K for Clusterfuck (2 matches)

*Polishes title* *Primes C4* Come on then Shakira it would seem that it's time for Part 27 of our never ending battle. and what happened to the Hardcore title match? no mention, not even room made to edit it in later? *shudders at the lenght of the winning match if Bruce/Tox went to a PPV*

LOL how about odd shows in November of 2004? But we all know the only result there that mattered You helped destroy the interior of FAO Schwartz And to answer your very odd request: From Ground Zero 05 to Ramadomination you were 11-7-1 (One double no show) (as JJ Johnson you're 30-22-2 career wise, I'd calculate Rush Hadrian or as half of the CMM but it may be better if I kept that top secret )

Everything is easy for the person that knows how For 2006 you're 16-10-2 (2 double no shows) and I was even nice enough to actually credit you for beating Blank when you didn't actually turn in a match for the best of 5 Side note: You successfully defended the CW title 4 times before losing it and the tag-team title 0 times.

Hey you can make quite a career for yourself tearing through no-shows, consistent showing is the key And Spike - except for 2 months of 04 which I haven't listed yet your 2004-2006 win/loss record is 27 wins, 38 losses and 4 no contests (3 by double no show, 1 written as such)

There is always the Al Snow route you know - maybe walk around with Akira's old mask on your hand and talk to it like it was alive then you could still pretend to be a stable

That's a shame because I thought your match against Zyon was excellent, it's a shame to loose a talented (and new) writer. Good luck with everything.

No a Vampire wouldn't kill ECW - it'd turn it into another Vampire

So instead of skirting around the issue what IS the supposed legend?

LOL I'll tell you when I get to work. Since I fed the results into a database and then wrote an SQL routine to compile the records I have the excel sheet at work. Yes, yes I know I'm a humongous IT geek, but at least I make money from being one so
