JHawk

Odds are that in soap operas, the father of an expectant mother's baby isn't the boyfriend/husband of the expectant mother. The Fonz would hit the jukebox and get it started. Any scheme Kramer could come up with would somehow backfire.

Edited as of 6-7-05 Preliminary Question: How did you find us/hear about us? TSM Smarks Board Name: JHawk Wrestlers Name: "The Dean of Professional Wrestling" Jay Hawke Height: 5'9" Weight: 215 Hometown: Cleveland, OH Age: 29 Face/Heel: Heel Stable: Ring Escort: Weapon(s): lead pipe Quote: "You're going to be taught a wrestling lesson you'll never forget, and there's not a damn thing you can do about it!" Looks: Hawke comes to the ring wearing a Ric Flair-esque purple and black robe. He keeps his light brown hair cut short and usually remains clean-shaven, although he'll grow a goatee on occasion. Once in the ring, he removes his robes, showing a well-built but not too muscular frame. He wears black tights with "Dean" written in purple down both legs and "Class is in session" in purple on his ass. He finishes his ensemble with a pair of black boots with purple soles and laces. Ring Entrance: "Learning to Fly" by Pink Floyd comes on the PA as the lights dim. Ring Announcer: Introducing...from the Hall of Fame City of Cleveland, Ohio, and weighing in at 215 pounds...he is "The Dean of Professional Wrestling"...Jay Hawke! A spotlight shines on Jay Hawke as he makes his way to the ring. As Hawke makes his way onto the ring apron, he takes off his robe, folds it, and hands it to the ring attendant. Then he stands up on the turnbuckle with both arms in the air as the crowd boos. Stats: ¯¯¯¯¯ Strength: 4 Speed: 6 Vitality: 5 Charisma: 5 Style: Jay Hawke relies on technical wrestling but can take to the air if need be. Signature moves: Fujiwara armbar shoulderbreaker short arm scissors Rings of Saturn dragon sleeper blockbuster front facelock into a DDT (NOT a transition move and designed to KO the opponent) surfboard Common moves: belly-to-back superplex chokehold diving headbutt faceslam legdrop swinging neckbreaker sunset flip roundhouse kick camel clutch inverted DDT onto the knee springboard lariat tilt-a-whirl backbreaker leg lariat backflip cradle German suplex STF Rare moves: Burning Hammer diamond dust Finishers: Jay Hawke's primary finisher is a submission hold called the Wing Span. It's a crossface chickenwing with a twist, as Hawke uses his legs to scissor the opponent's other arm. His secondary finisher is a moonsault called the Hawke Swoop, but it's notable because instead of landing with a bodypress, he lands with a kneedrop onto his opponent. This is only to be used in extreme situations where the Wing Span hasn't worked and should not be debuted until a title is on the line. Notes: Jay Hawke is out of an old school cloth where he prefers to wear down a body part to weaken it for the finish. Notice that most of his common moves affect the neck and back, while the signature moves mostly affect the arms. Once he begins to use the signature moves, odds are it's just a matter of time before the Wing Span comes into play. Bio: Jay Hawke began wrestling September 12, 1996, losing to Knightrous in the now-defunct High Octane Wrestling Federation. It was a minor setback, as he would win the HOWF Tag Team Title once and the HOWF National Title twice, retiring the latter title in March 1997. From there, he moved onto the High Impact Wrestling Federation based out of Cleveland. Although he wrestled largely in tag team matches in the HIWF (holding the HIWF Tag Team Title seven times), he holds the record as the longest-reigning HIWF World Champion (five months), as well as multiple reigns as United States and Hardcore Champion. He also had a cup of coffee with the Missouri Wrestling Alliance Cruiserweight Title in 2000. Hawke's career took a setback in 2002 when he retired after suffering his second serious neck injury in as many years. He has spent the last two years training promising wrestlers at the Legion of Pain Compound in Cleveland, but has gotten the itch to return to the ring.

Eh, whatever. Honestly, I don't even like rap music. but right now I'd blast it just because it isn't directly banned if you actually read their guidelines. Anyway, just a couple of things I noticed last night looking at this since I needed a good laugh. Does that include....WAIT FOR IT...gold crosses? Um...isn't it easier to see certain body parts you probably shouldn't be seeing when you're wearing a skirt as opposed to wearing shorts? And isn't that basically the only difference? OK, so they mean lyou can wear long skirts, but I don't know too many people with a knee fetish. So much for closet lesbians. Sesame Street is banned, but you can put a pistol into storage as long as the safety is on. Seriously. And people wonder why Christianity gets a bum rap these days.

What the fuck else is left? I'm assuming rap/R&B is out, so do you have tap your own music on the walls or what? Actually, I'm not sure rap and R&B would be banned. Rap artists are predominantly black, and you wouldn't want to get nailed with a race discrimination lawsuit. But what's so bad about Michael W. Smith and Stephen Curtis Chapman? For that matter, what did Ambercrombie and Fitch do that was so against Christ aside from overcharging for their clothes?

Jerry Lawler's theme (whatever it's actually called)

I think his midlife crisis kicked in when Al misspelled Cal Ripken's name. Kids these days. *sigh8

I've heard stupider remarks. Cleveland broadcaster Bruce Drennan once claimed that Nolan Ryan shouldn't have been in the HOF because he lost 292 games. Somehow 324 wins, 5,714 strikeouts, and seven no-hitters meant nothing. So it's not like this guy is the only person in the media who doesn't know baseball.

Royal Rumble 88. Jesse Ventura is trying to call a match when... McMahon: "Wait a minute, Jesse. Look at Tama's toes." Ventura: "What about them?" McMahon: "The man could hang upset down from the top rope." Vince goes back to trying to call the match, but this time it's Ventura who chimes in. Ventura: "Going back a second, McMahon. I find that to be a racist comment." McMahon: "Not at all. I'm simply trying to describe the man's toes." Ventura: "You know, if Jimmy the Greek can be replaced, McMahon, so can you."

Hogan. At least Hogan coule wrestle a little bit when he had to against guys like Savage and DiBiase. I never saw Warrior being anything special once he started going crazy. Of course, I was predicting a double countout all the way since title vs. title matches never ended in definite decisions.

I still refuse to care until Bruno Sammartino is inducted. I know it's still pretty unliekly, but dammit, you can't have a WWE Hall of Fame without the man who was on top longer than anybody.

I was thinking Ghostbusters myself, but that does work too.

I don't remember any mention of Col. Mustafa and The Iron Sheik being one in the same. Hell, with the 1992 Rumble, they talk about how there were four former WWF Champions in that match, and they name Hogan, Slaughter, Savage, and Taker...but no mention of Mustafa and his cup of coffee as champion as the Sheik.

The WWE HOF has zero credibility until Bruno Sammartino is in it. Bar none. The man was World Champion longer than anybody else in WWE history during an era where you didn't hold the title unless you were a top draw. Johnny Rodz and Pete fucking Rose are in the goddamn thing, but no Bruno?

Becky Bayless also deserves some love. She's very pretty, and if you like a woman with a big BUTT, she's your girl.

Its called gettin' heat. Orton to this day claims the original injury was legit but it couldn't heal properly because he wrestled through it. As much money as these guys were making back then (especially near the top of the card), I wouldn't be surprised either way.

So I was the only one that was told the Inoki-Backlund match wasn't a valid link?

Orton Jr. also had an excellent match with Pat Patterson at the Philadelphia Spectrum on 9.18.1982 when Patterson was in the twilight of his career. He even had a couple of decent matches with Pedro Morales just prior to the Backlund feud that year. <--- wishes the Backlund-Orton MSG match was available on tape someplace

Dennis Knight aka Mideon. Only really took off as Phineas Godwinn in an era where nobody was watching. The workers always loved the guy, but I can't remember thinking he was anything special

I do like it. If it fits the character and isn't overly stupid, it's fine.

I always liked Hack Myers as hailing from "the last house on the left" myself.

You wouldn't want to link us directly to that one, would you? I've always wanted to see that match as well as the rematch six days later.

I remember hearing about The Bushwhackers showing up in ECW but don't remember the specifics, so you might be right.

Why/when would Crockett have been around during Russo's tenure? I'm not disputing this, I've heard the story, too. I'm just curious. I'm thinking Dillon meant David Crockett, who did stay with WCW after Turner bought JCP and was there pretty much until the end.

What the fuck did I just say. You said they were recognizing the titles. he said they're an affilliate. Technically two different things though they're both accurate.
