Bruce Blank

I'm reviving the "what he heck is this move" thread cause well I'm just an uneducated boob who wouldn't know 90% of the indy move names and well 95% of the names for moves used in Japan so like the Demonstar Driver being a "J-Driller" and all that Doesn't mean ANYTHING to me and as a match writer it's kinda a good idea to know what the moves are, how they're executed and from what position. So I'll ask What the heck is the Demonstar Driver? It's been promoted as like the ultimate killer move and such so what is it? (More to come I'm sure)

Those are the kind of hard hitting economical analysis that neither CNN nor MSNBC will show cause they're too afraid

Yeah Konnan fans unite and take advantage of the "2 pays, 1 eats for free" at the Chicken Shack in Orlando come one, come all three

48 is... Bruce's IQ? The number of empty beer cans in Bruce's locker room before the show? The number of times he's changed his underwear since the turn of the century? How many times An Octopus would pin Bruce in a 30 minute Iron Man Match? Just in case people were wondering - it was intentionally done as a "Bait and Switch" match, it wasn't due to no shows or anything like that we're not just going to serve up Bruce Vs IL 1 on 1 like that We'll make you suffer through a long drawn out feud... then finally face off at Clusterfuck 2007

Edited to give it that true Michael Buffer feel

CAGE MATCH Landon Maddix vs Michael Cross I guess this is the test: "Does sex make Maddix a better wrestler"?? yes, yes it probably does unless it's DURING the cage match LETHAL LOTTERY (Pool C) TAG TEAM MATCH Bruce Blank & Amy Stephens (1-0) vs Kevin Coyote & Insane Luchador (0-0) I don't know but the winner here takes Pool C that's for sure CRUISERWEIGHT TITLE BOUT SINGLES MATCH Zyon© vs "The Divine Wind" Akira Kaibatsu It's be quite a curveball for the angle if Zyon lost and Spike is first in line for the title... hmmm... no Zyon takes it if he's not rushing it LETHAL LOTTERY BOUT (Pool A) TAG TEAM MATCH The Crimson Skull & Jason von Dierch (0-2) vs Stryke & Wildchild(0-0) Showing will get you a point - WC always shows and Styke... tends to show so they get their first point and can look forward to 2 more tag matches CRUISERWEIGHT TITLE CONTENDERSHIP SINGLES MATCH "Hollywood" Spike Jenkins vs Laberinto ARRIBA!! With that out of the way - Spike wins LETHAL LOTTERY BOUT (Pool D) TAG TEAM MATCH Archie Griffon & Jay Hawke (1-0) vs Jimmy the Doom & Manson (1-0) Tough one - THE match of Pool D, winner will take the pool I think Serious Hawke, comedy Jimmy and the former partners facing off I'll go with Jimmy & Manson - Jimmy learned loads of neato Octopus moves on Storm and uses them in this match. OPENING BOUT SINGLES MATCH Allan Hadrian vs Matt "The Cosplay Master" Myers The question isn't "will Matt lose" - cause even with the awesomeness of Ghost MAchine V2.0 he loses, the question is, what will he be dressed like? I'll put 10 quid on Quasimodo (call it a hunch)

Well it's the traditional British way of sorting it out apparently kick in the nuts headbutt beer *thumbs up* and of course that's the ONLY kind of trouble Bruce & Amy can cause outside the ring yup, yup - I don't see any problems with a couple of people who don't mind kicking a little ass if people look at them wrong getting drunk backstage before, during and after a show what kind of security problems could they POSSIBLY create? *looks innocent*

Good to see the promos still going strong, excellent work No Wes/ELM - again outside of a guest commentary spot we've had the sum total of "0" on the main event of "From the Fire", that's such a shame cause it's two awesomely talented guys involved and is really the biggest title defense in ELM's 4th reign just not promoted much Jimmy the Doom just doesn't have the backstage power that An Octopus has now does he? Coyote/LDP? I'll be ringside for that - Potential PPV match unless IL/COyote are TLC bound. No double no shows *Thumbs up*, but probably a few no-shows (and one close to no-show in the tag-division) The Fall of the Machine continues unless it leads to the unmasking I'm sad to see that happen. Great move on the Spike/Zyon bit - hint that Zyon might be the guy turning, misdirection, mystery and ... me tuning in next show for more More comments to come... when I have time ... probably (although I wish others would join in with the feedback)

9 wrestlers with 3 doing double duty? NWA Bluegrass isn't very big is it? I've never even heard of it

I'm a huge fan of Lucha, it started to become re-run after re-run on European Galavision and I haven't watched in quite a while but I love it the triple team spot you mention is one of the reasons why I love it (Sounds like a Guerreros Del Infierno special ) - the colorfullness of it all, the speed the dose of Dr. Wagner Jr. and many other truely talented wrestlers

Maybe one day we'll see Bruce Vs Janus II not that Bruce is the kind of guy to disregard authority or cause any kinds of "scenes" of course Heaven forbid, he's a good little lamb as shown on Storm I'm thinking this goes beyond Coyote, but definitly involves him - I'm staying tuned for sure.

*phew* good thing I'm getting Wayne a manager's license so he escapes Janus' wrath

Youz got the names in reverse since it was Bruce's plot to piss off IL (and not have to face him) oh and then he did a number on IL backstage along with "the Dragon Man" and this will be EXPLOSIVE!!

I told ya'll that it was Bruce's brother Wayne who was under the Villano XIII mask a while back Even if Wayne is more 5'9'' than 6'7'' they're easily mistaken for each other

Thank you for your endorsement as you probably saw - I will keep on doing just that

What if he steps off Janus' watch?

Do you own your own business? No?? Good then I don't ever expect to hear a damn thing from you ever again - great news on that front *thumbs up* they're totally overreaction on Aries/Strong, punishing them for POTENTIALLY missing the PPV hey why not punish them if they forget to set their alarm clocks? They could potentially oversleep - or have the WWE punsih people for having clothes in their bags that don't meet their dress code, they could potentially show up wearing something that breaks the code give me a break

Interesting, very, very interesting idea (and excellent promo) but I did stumble on something So if something like a sneak attack on a wrestler happens under "Janus Security Inc" that's "it"? A sneak attack in the SWF? yeah it'll be "it" 3 matches into his first day on the job It's just the nature of wrestling to have physical confrontations and sneak attacks and all that. Someone's going to be VERY busy "at work" I think

Ahem. The proper smell is that of a character that will indeed be developed when I have some spare time, but for now is simply a guy. Called him like I saw him - a guy with no bio, no back story, no gimmick - just moves and a simple entrance that wouldn't used much cause "he'll be teaming with Tood mainly" lead me to think 2 things 1) "For the tournament only" or 2) "Building a long term team with Todd Cortez" I went with #1 based on what I saw - called it like I saw it

SWF STORM! Alright let’s try this here predicting thing again, it’s Stormarrific The Main Event (non-title) El Luchadore Magnifico © vs. "The Icon" Max King © Lethal Lottery Match (Pool D) Todd Cortez and Allan Hadrian (0/0) vs. Jay Hawke © and Arch Griffon (0/0) Lethal Lottery Match (Cross-pool) The Crimson Skull and Jason von Dierch (0/1) vs. Christian Fury and Mistress Sarah (0/1) Lethal Lottery Match (Pool B) "Hollywood" Spike Jenkins and Zyon © (1/0) vs. Ghost Machine 2.0 and Matt Myers (0/1) Bruce Blank © vs. Insane Luchadore Lethal Lottery Match (Cross-pool) The Asian Underground (Akira Kaibatsu and Michael Cross) (1/0) vs. Ced Ordonez and Laberinto (0/1) Opening Bout Amy Stepens vs. Kevin Coyote SPECIAL BONUS MATCH Jimmy the Doom vs. An Octopus

Lord I wish I could - I'm just not sure if I have any time between now and tomorrow evening deadline time. erm - if (and it's a big if) I would try to write this I'd keep it inside the word limit.

Talk about something that'd add to the special PPV feel of an event like "From the Fire"... Volcanic rock just fits the theme oh yeah!

If I remember correctly, the deal was Steamboat was feuding with the Dangerous Alliance (not sure whom specifically), but started bringing a ninja to ringside to protect himself from DA members running in during his matches. During a match, the ninja hit Steamboat with a phone, and of course ended up being Paul E. I don't think it was revealed who the original ninja was or what happened to him after that. It was more just to advance the feud between Ricky and the DA. At the First Superbrawl Rude/Steamboat match for Rude's US title

Stop being a smarky elitist. This isn't exactly the right thread for those kinds of questions - start a "who would you like to see" dealie instead. as for Sgt. Pittman - I'm not sure but from what I remember he kinda just faded out after the "Codename: Cobra" feud finished he had the look of a man who'd kick your ass for looking at him wrong, a "shoot" kinda feel to him. I wonder what he did after his time in WCW

Yes! Hey it's what they're doing for Angle/Taker - why not for Vince/Shawn too? I mean it's proven to work right?? *crickets chirp* right?
