Bruce Blank

AMW, Abyss, Samoa Joe, Daniels, Styles are a few quick examples of non WWF castoffs who've won titles in TNA, except for Abyss. Not everybody can be champ, and certainly not all at once. Won titles isn't the same as allowing them to shine and get the spotlight - most of them play second fiddle to Jarrett & the Ex-WWE guys

You’re right not as stacked as last week’s show – but then again that was super stacked. A good show none the less with some angle advancements and some good storytelling. Axel is MAD~! Something about an owners/board of directors opposing views on fiscal earnings written off over 5 years or something. . . wait that was CNN. Still not sure why the owners wouldn’t take actions to get replace of the board of directors if they were this unhappy, they own the place after all. *ouch* too much corporate thinking makes my head hurt – so onto the promo instead!! Axel says pretty much the same thing “forget corporate thinking, let’s settle it in the ring!!” – a 5 on 5 elimination match and it’s not even Thanksgiving But will they take the challenge?? Stay tuned to find out – (cliffhanger warning) It’s probably my lack of knowledge about this backstory that makes it hard for me to get into it – and shades of Vince/Bischoff/GMs everywhere, but I have faith in the OAOAST actually making the angle work. - Fang / Dragon – I don’t comment on my own stuff much, just that I enjoy the totally different style behind the S.I.T. And thank you babel fish for translating “two beers and a plate of spaghetti” for me - TJ Burns is BACKSTAGE~! A surprising return last week, an out of the blue X-Title win and now an interview too? He’s not a joke, he’s serious – and to prove it he calls out anyone: That’s one way to either be taken serious or to be taken down by Gibraltar! I for one can’t wait to see which it’ll be. - Wildcardz bring the explanations!! For those of you that may not have noticed it GPX showed up at the SWF PPV “13th Hour” and got in the faces of Bruce & Bloodshed See: http://forums.thesmartmarks.com/index.php?...=entry2236386 If you missed it. Also Blank & Bloodshed Vs GPX TOMORROW NIGHT on Aftershock! The angle crosses boundaries and goes “up above” (as in the forum up above) - FAQU (yeah well Faq u too ) speaks! The new champion has a few words for Zack and it seems that he doesn’t like that Zack brought the Wildcards into the federation Okay so the guy makes ONE little mistake and this Samoan holds it against him? Sjesh some friend (two faced, unlike the Wildcards who only have one face, it’s a nasty, “kick you in the teeth” kind of face but still we’re morally superior ) Good stuff – Zack has fucked up and the OAOAST guys aren’t going to just let it be bygones just cause he got beat up. Top notch. - Ol’ Bill is in the ring!! Which seems to be a rarity. . . what’s his role again? It’s ONZ!! And then to noone’s surprise Axel’s first two partners are his running buddies – countered by Watts’ putting on a Black T. . . no wait it’s the TEAM of Black T, my bad. It was inevitable that it’d be accepted and that Hoff & Drek Stone would be part of the whole thing – so it’s good to get that established right off the bat, now the intrigue/mystery of who the remaining team members can begin. Interesting – this could go in like 20 different directions which is good *thumbs up* - 20 Man battle royal time!! With 20 men it’s hard to profile all of them and some really don’t need to be profiled Although I think a LOT could have been done with the monster Gibraltar in the match and a bit of referencing to other angles, but it served the main purpose really well and that purpose is Alfdogg Vs Reject at the Great Angle Bash. - Good show, what was there was very solid and enjoyable – it could have used a match or two more.

After last week's upset the S.I.T. has decided to try brawn instead of speed Cardinal Biggles Vs the Dance Dance Dragon Bruce Blank + Dog collar chain + "Special Challenge" as well

Meh – color me disappointed about the match that supposedly beat ours Bruce & Wayne, Freemasons? Yeah talk about pulling stuff from a bodily orifice. Way to nonsensically make Flesher & Grappler faces without them doing anything – what ”wrestling logic”? That whole Peter North spiel? Seems that people like it, to me it just took away from the match and said ”look at us we don’t give a shit so we throw in some cock jokes” Love how the commentators seem to be all about putting Tom & Grappler over for like 90% of the match. Bruce is apparently an idiot – he applies a bear hug around the waist (which doesn’t ”suck the wind” out of the opponent btw. since you don’t have lungs down there.) whomever wrote that should be slapped around with a badger. Blank gives a shit about Denmark in the world cup? Yes more ”I don’t really give a shit about the opponents so let’s make world cup references” lovely, way to write a match that doesn’t nothing for your opponents. Bleh – 75% of it was a total ”paint by numbers” tag match that kinda stayed in the middle of the road with a flat ending and a bunch of jokes thrown in to really show how little respect there are for the opponents. Maybe it’s just me, maybe it’s the fact that I try to write matches that also put over my opponents and all, maybe that’s why I read this and go ”We lost to this?” *Shakes head* I’d comment on the rest, but I can’t be bothered.

Well that's my guys out then Seriously if you can find a good use for Bruce Blank go right ahead and put him in it. I'd say you can use the SIT too but well they're new and strictly comic relief so I don't know how well they'd fit in.

How would you know if Kurt can wrestle the "Amateur" style? they're not having an amateur match are they now? it's pro-wrestling and he adapts some of the amateur stuff into a context that works for pro-wrestling. It'd be like me bitching about some other Olympic medalist not being able to do a decent piledriver - apples and oranges, sounds like someone is trying to cling on to anything and everything so he can bitch about ECW

House Rules: comedy version - not insanely violent Bruce Blank version

Oh lord save me from the uber-smarks. ECW closed shop 5 years ago - they can't just use the "same old, same old" or you may as well pop in an old ECF PPV tape and let her rip. Now Orton shouldn't be on an ECW PPV... nor an Raw one or a Smackdown one - not even a TNA PPV

So does Mae Young though.

Oh and I totally forgot I'm not just working the one story line, silly Bruce and yes it's a long one *thumbs up*

I had no clue they were being used elsewhere, they were a jobber cruiserweight team which fit with what I wanted to do so I used them without updating my "Blank & Cortez Vs Someone" post

Jason Von Dierch is that you??

I'll put in Blank and Cardinal X - if you're a body short of 32 then feel free to add another S.I.T. If I get enough warning I'll also be fine with writing a tag match maybe even two if need be.

Cardinal Fang (W/ the SIT) Vs Dance Dance Dragon - High flying spottastic Cruiserweight action!!!! Also PPV fall out

Well since I'm working 2 storylines I'll guarantee at least 1 match for each show that won't just be a squash match, I'm slowly getting the hang of this. I haven't read all of it so far but I got one word AWESOME!

Both of them?

PFFFFFFFFFF those Oats were toasted the other day, I've been procrastinating on the SWF! that's how it should be, that's where my loyalties lie!! Working with Rando's excellent set up I'm chugging along nicely - I got ideas mapped out now I just need to turn them into actual writing and not just "Bruce breaks Grappler's neck by hitting him with an oversized spring roll *" Count? 5K range right now * (this may or may not actually happen in the match I'm writing)

The German sensation BRAKKUS!!

That's what I get for being in the states and totally off line for my birthday - I missed this. Yes sadly I'm 33, something I'm reminded of every day as I take my dentures out so I can eat my porridge And happy birthday! Now where did I leave my walker?

*counts on fingers* so it'll probably be up before I go to work *thumbs up* which is round 2 AM Eastern time sexcellent

Big Show wasn't hungry on Raw? Man they must have had a twinkie truck following him around all the time Reason works for me though *Thumbs up*

The WWE has in no way said there was a pre-existing connection to ECW - maybe he decided to jump to ECW because he's always been a big fan of it, he liked Heyman or maybe he just wanted to be a big fish in a smaller pond many explanations that do not play of any kind of existing link to ECW

Yeah that's what I was talking about - then again I've finished my stuff the other day but still it's good to know these things in case I need to cut it close.

There's not much of a debate to it. It's fact. New York City, NY Madison Square Garden July 23, 1984 The Brawl to End it All - aired live on MTV: - Wendi Richter (w/ Cyndi Lauper) pinned WWF Women's Champion the Fabulous Moolah (w/ Capt. Lou Albano) to win the title at 11:20 after lifting her right shoulder out of a bridged roll up; David Wolfe did guest commentary for the bout; after the bout, Moolah & Albano attacked the referee after hearing the decision Technically it's still a debate - because the 30 year reign that's referred to was before this - ending on July 23rd. that it changed after that is a different matter, just shows that she regained the belt

yeah it was Eastern back then - he was there at the beginning of the federation under Todd Gordon I think
