Slingshot Suplex

Gimmick thief! Gimmick thief! So what if the first official thread is buried somewhere on page 3 or 4 or somewhere

I stumbled across this tonight.....I'm watching it now. August 5th,1994 Night Of the Legends,Knoxville,TN. Doug Furnas vs Killer Kyle Bob Orton,Jr. and Dick Slater vs Ron Garvin and the Mongolian Stomper Interview with the Gangstas (including D-Lo!) SMW Tag title: Rock n Roll Express w/Ricky Gibson vs Chris Candido and Brian Lee w/ Tammy Fytch (Sunny!) Knoxville Wrestling Hall Of Fame induction ceremony The Thrillseekers (Lance Storm and Chris Jericho) vs the Heavenly Bodies SMW title: Dirty White Boy vs Terry Gordy Coward Waves the Flag: Road Warrior Hawk,Bob Armstrong and Tracy Smothers w/Ron Wright vs Terry Funk,Dory Funk Jr.,and Bruiser Bedlam w/Jim Cornette Jim Ross and Les Thatcher are the announcers.Mark Curtis is the ref for many of the matches. Interviews and angles are shown leading into some of the matches. Optional match commentary with Jim Cornette and Dave Meltzer. No Thrillseekers videos but this is very good stuff.

I believe the 2nd half of that season they switched up the home and away jerseys

Dallas will eventually give in unless Turco wants absurd money. There's a reason Tugnutt has been with 7 teams and it's not because he's a #1 goalie. They only played about .500 hockey with him in there while Turco was hurt last year and he didn't look particularly good a lot of those nights. I thought the Bruins let Berard leave as a free agent? Or are they hoping to bring him back cheaper than the arbitration award?

I can't argue that 110 fans for an indy is good.......in my area, only GCW has drawn that or over except with the greatly ocassional show (LAW bringing in a bunch of big names for a show in Poplar Bluff). I believe the thought is....with all the hype Wildside gets they should be drawing more than 110 people. And like I said earlier,it seems like every match report I read from them has low crowds

I think the Sens considered Arvedson an underachiever. Weren't they trying openly to trade him last season before he became a free agent?

Chances are this is Stevie's last season anyway. Let him go out the way he wants to. He had major surgery last season and had a lot of rust to shake off when he came back. Hopefully,he'll be more effective this year and I think the plan is to play him more on the wing to take some of the work off of him.

I really liked Killer. He kicked all kinds of ass in his stint with Toronto.

Come on,Sam Houston was tall,skinny,gangly and awkward....but he had a decent little underdog run in the NWA. Hey,he beat Krusher Khruschev for the Mid-Atlantic title!

"His constant shilling of other storylines, at the expense of the match he was currently calling became pretty irritating" I thought that trait was a requirement of anybody on the WWE announcing team?

I don't check religiously ,but it seems whenever I've read a Wildside report that they don't draw very well for as much hype as they get. It seems like I'm reading anywhere from 40 to 100 people. Or am I thinking of a different promotion?

I usually am concentrating on taking pics at the local shows and I have a couple people I talk to at intermission so going alone doesn't bother me at all. My brother was going with me last year but he seems to have lost interest in the local scene. (He likes the tapes but won't go to free live shows...won't go see the hardcore stuff he prefers.....it's weird) He made an inquiry about going to Smackdown in St Louis recently but didn't even make that big a push for that. I will say that it's funner to go with people though. The night that two friends and I turned heel on Brian Pillman is still probably the funnest time I've had at a show. That one and the XWF show in Dearborn,Michigan that YNA and I went to. Simon Diamond "You know,I could come out here and I could talk for probably about 30 minutes......." YNA ..."DO IT!"

Hall of Famer for sure? I don't know....he probably wouldn't get my vote. I never thought he was all that remarkable. But anyway...... 666 games......301-258-73 ......2.89 GAA.......904 Sv % Really only one great year 1993.......does have one Cup......only reached 30 wins twice. US Hockey Hall Of Fame for sure....I don't know about the one in Toronto.

Think they'd let Blackburn play in the minors for the year and have a Joseph/Dunham tandem?

Boston signed Felix Potvin so it looks like Boston is eliminated from the "Where does Cujo go?" list of contenders.

I desperately wanted one of those ECW baseball jerseys that the Dudleys used to wear. I won an auction on Dawn Marie's site in which I received what are supposed to be the first pair of boots she wore during her first match.Signed too.

My friend got this email regarding last year's PWI 500.Apparently,the promoter of a group in Michigan thought that my friend's email address was actually Pondo's email. Anyway, I was going to post the whole letter but decided to summarize it instead. Basically,if you're not a big promotion (or probably one based on the east coast since PWI is based in Pennsylvania),it's on the promotion or the individuals to send info to PWI for consideration in the PWI 500 and the Guide To the Independents.

The results to Saturday's show in DeSoto swiped from www.gatewaywrestling.com board and Patrick Desoto, August 23, Wrestlefest 4: "The opening match was Jackal(w/ Cabal) taking on Sean Vincent. Cabal tried to get involved outside the ring and accidentally hit his partner, so Vincent hit a somersault dive off the top rope to take out Cabal! Back in the ring, Vincent repeatedly abused referee Jim Aggie, then sidestepped a charging Jackal who took out Aggie by mistake. This allowed Cabal to enter the ring and deliver a chokeslam(with an assist from Jackal)...and Jackal got the three-count from a groggy Aggie. Post-match, Vincent questioned Aggie's refereeing and earned a shove to the mat for his efforts! With Cabal already in the ring, "The Whole Drunken Show" Sam Bacardi entered for the next contest. The two heavyweights went toe-to-toe, but Cabal made a crucial mistake by taking too much time setting up a charge into the corner. Bacardi moved out of the way and Cabal hit only turnbuckles, and Bacardi followed up with his flying elbowsmash off the second turnbuckle for the victory! Post-match, Cabal got some revenge by delivering an impressive uranagi on the 300-plus-pounder! (Here is where I arrived ...heh) The Party Animals, Jynx and Rat Boy, were in action against Super Castaldis III & IV. The Castaldis attempted to single out Rat Boy for punishment, but once Jynx got the hot tag, it was all downhill for the pride of Encinada. Jynx planted Castaldi III with a Michinoku Driver...then, with Jynx's encouragement, Rat Boy delivered the Dolphin Dive! Jynx scored the pin on Castaldi III and the Party Animals posed for the fans after their win! Two men on different paths in GCW squared off next...Kory Twist has been on a hot streak, while Kevin Sharp has become increasingly frustrated over his inability to regain championship gold. Sharp was able to overpower Twist at almost every turn, but Twist was able to escape defeat by getting a foot on the ropes after the Makeover. Sharp cut off a Twist rally with a spinebuster and set up a second Makeover, but Twist reversed into the Fate Factor, scoring his second huge win over a former GCW titleholder in as many nights! In a battle of the chops, Chaz Wesson went one-on-one with Jeremy. These two had a fierce exchange of knife-edges in the corner, but once it came down to technical expertise, Chaz's experience made the difference as he was able to trap Jeremy in a dragon sleeper and force his opponent to tap out. In a truly electrifying matchup, Super Electro faced off with C.J. McManus(accompanied by Dancin' James Brown). Both men showcased their innovative repertoires in this one, but Electro was able to counter some of C.J.'s signature moves and hit the Circuit Breaker(flying Diamond Cutter off the second rope) to defeat "The Fantastic One". Coming off his big pinfall over Delirious last night, Ian Storm faced OuTtKaSt. Both men were looking for a big win, but after a hard-fought matchup, it was OuTtKaSt that got the duke after a powerslam off the top rope! Next up was Makaze(w/ Sindy) vs. Delirious(w/ Jackal). As has been the case in recent weeks, Sindy wanted Makaze to use underhanded tactics to gain an edge, but Makaze refused to use a steel chair that Sindy handed to him in the early going. Sindy still involved herself in the matchup, throwing powder in Delirious' eyes and even pulling referee C.J. McManus out of the ring after Delirious hit the Shadows Over **** splash off the top. Neither man could attain victory on this night, however, as the ten-minute time-limit expired shortly after Jackal chased Sindy back to the dressing room. Makaze offered a handshake to Delirious, who hesitantly accepted the gesture. (They've been teasing a face turn for Makaze for a few weeks........I have a funny feeling it's a set up and he won't turn) Next up was scheduled to be MsChif vs. Matt for the Light Heavyweight Title, but MsChif was apparently injured in her match with Jynx last night and was not medically cleared to wrestle...and according to MsChif, her wrestling license would be revoked if she wrestled anyway. So after insinuations of fear on Matt's part, MsChif sent Jackal into the ring to fight Matt in her place! Just like last night, these two fought at a blistering pace. Matt appeared to have Jackal set up for the shooting star press, but MsChif pulled Jackal out of the ring as Matt leaped from the top...only to see Matt land on his feet! Jackal's case was made worse by the fact that referee Sean Vincent was clearly not calling things in his favor after the loss earlier in the evening. As Matt and Jackal fought on the turnbuckles, Delirious distracted Vincent while MsChif nailed Matt with the championship belt...and Jackal fell on top of Matt for the three-count, picking up his second win of the night! (Matt has been losing a lot lately) The main event was an elimination-style exploding barbed wire match with tables, ladders, and chairs...Diamond Back Dingo, Big Bad Ben, and Billy McNeil vs. The Fourth Reich(Nikki Strychnine, Pete Madden, & Jack Adonis). Adonis "came prepared" with goggles and ear protectors, but they weren't going to help him on this night as the brawl started fast and furious, with all six men battling all over the Knights Of Columbus Hall! There was too much action to properly call, but things finally got back into the ring. Madden was the first to hit the exploding barbed wire as Ben gave him a Snake Eyes onto it! Things broke down at this point, but in the confusion, Adonis was able to drop-toehold Ben into a set-up steel chair and he and Nikki both jumped on top of Ben for the pin to eliminate him! An enraged Ben took out his frustrations on Madden, dragging him to the stage and chokeslamming him through two stacked tables! The Fourth Reich was quick to press their advantage, as Adonis delivered a Curtain Call onto two set-up chairs to eliminate McNeil...leaving Dingo alone against the Reich(though Madden was still down and out near the stage area). Dingo *****vered and managed to isolate Adonis long enough to deliver a devastating piledriver, off the apron through a table! Referee McManus counted a pinfall out on the arena floor, and it looked like Dingo finally had Strychnine all to himself! Dingo and Strychnine fought it out in the ring, with Nikki getting the upper hand and climbing the ladder, intending to splash Dingo from a high rung. However, Dingo brought the ladder crashing down, and Nikki came crashing down as well...right into the exploding barbed wire! Dingo had the champion right where he wanted him and set up a table with barbed wire on top...but at this point, Madden finally made his way back into the ring to try to break it up! Pete chaired Dingo repeatedly...only to get booted down to the mat by a fired-up and bloody Dingo! Dingo then set up Nikki for a top-rope Frankensteiner that would send him through the barbed wire and the table, but Madden recovered in time to cut him off and powerbomb him through the table! Nikki then dropped an elbow from the top rope, over the table remnants and onto Dingo, scoring the pin to notch the win for the Fourth Reich! Post-match, Adonis returned to the ring to celebrate with the rest of the Reich, but Ben and Billy also returned to run them off and help Dingo to his feet...and the fans gave the three men a standing ovation after a great night of action!" (This match was action packed...possibly the wildest match I've seen live.And if there actually is anyone like PowerPB or Ravenbomb that ends up reading this and is following the current situation in GCW.....I'm guessing that Billy McNeil ends up being Dingo Hater)

I'm getting more of a streetwise Bill Alphonso vibe from JC Flash than racial overtones

Tonight in DeSoto,Missouri.......swiped from the Gateway board Wrestlefest IV at the Desoto Knights of Columbus on Saturday August 23 features the following matches: 6 way Exploding Tables, Ladders, and Chairs: The Fourth Reich (Jack Adonis, Pete Madden, and Nikki Strychnine) vs. Big Bad Ben, Dingo, and Billy McNeil MsChif vs. Matt Sydal Delirious vs. Makaze Kevin Sharp vs. Kory Twist Super Electro vs. Daizee Haze Ian Storm vs. Outtkast Chaz Wesson vs. Lightfoot Sean Vincent vs. The Jackal Sam Bacardi vs. Cabal

Since there's little chance the Lions will go 0-16...I'll settle for this record.

Targets is excellent. I'll get that eventually DVD Planet says Vampire Carmilla is out now too.

I doubt it was that far into the future..Dusty woulkd have been like 90 something by then Sean Royal and Chris Champion comprised the team of the New Breed and they were from the future and I believe it was kind of Terminatorish ...they were sent back to destroy people like Dusty and the Rock n Rolls blah blah blah. They were a pretty good team.....they did some groovy little maneuvers. And to add to the Lazor-Tron thing......if I recall correctly,he was billed as being from "outer space"

The Ding Dongs were a jobber team that nobody cared about. A stupid gimmick but harmless for the most part. My vote goes to Lazor Tron. Sticking the talented Hector Guerrero under a dumbass mask and gimmick like that......... The New Breed's gimmick was kinda goofy but they were really good and they pulled it off pretty well. And I gotta mention Shaska Pez Whatley......

Whew..that was close...it almost left the first page..... GCW on Saturday August 8th at the A.C. Brase Arena in Cape Girardeau Strychnine vs. Dingo for the GCW Title......good brawl with a screwy ending. Was that planned or what? It seemed really disjointed. Plus I think my camera battery is dying. I had a couple prime shots and the camera wouldn't go off. MsChif vs. OuTtKaSt for the Light Heavyweight Title.....nobody will ever get the Lightheavyweight title from around Ms Chif's waist with the army she has at ringside. Plus she's friggin awesome. Ben vs. Adonis.....I expected a more intense battle. This was practically slapstick. Entertaining,yes,just not what I expected considering the whole Fourth Reich thing. McNeil vs. Delirious.......great battle. Even better than I thought it would be. Delirious is such a blast to watch. Makaze vs. Chaz Wesson......seeds of a Makaze face turn. Then what does Sindy do? Makaze is the only notable guy she manages now and if they split.......when will I ever see Sindy again? Daizee Haze vs. Jynx......When does Daizee get a shot at Ms Chif anyway? Jackal vs. Rat Boy....I understand this became a three way that I missed cause I procrastinated and was 20 minutes late. If Patrick doesn't fill in the rest,I might swipe the rest from the Gateway board.
