The Mandarin 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2004 Just for kicks, here's some of the best reviews I've gotten from Dames so far: My Opinion: The psychology was sound, the work was crisp, but a few awkward moments drag it down to about ****1\2. My Opinion: A **** rating is well deserved for the competitors in this match. My Opinion: Absolutely solid match. A few minor things brought it down, so I'm tacking on a **** rating. My Opinion: They definitely need to hook up again, I don't care what anyone says. ***1\2 My Opinion: Let me practice my math. 13 quarter stars equal a ***1\4 rating, right? Yeah, it does. That's what you get. And some of the worst: My Opinion: When I give out 3/4*, it means that I'm being REALLY nice about it. My Opinion: Nothing special...nothing special at all. *1/4 My Opinion: I'll give it a *3/4 rating. If you think of it like currency, it's a 1.75. You can't even take the subway with that anymore here. Work harder man. My Opinion: Usually, this is designated for good matches that were usually way too short for some reason. What's your excuse? *3/4 My Opinion: I'll give it a *1\2 rating. Consider getting more stars to be the adventure of a lifetime. Get started. My Opinion: Not good enough to earn an entire star. 3/4* for you. There's more matches I still haven't posted yet, though. They should be coming soon. Oh, and the last post was edited because I realized the Jerry Lynn vs. CM Punk was ****1/2, not ***1/2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sincerely, MC Knuf OSW Online Dude/Resident Cool Guy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Mandarin 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2004 June 3- Good news fans, OSW will still continue operations. MC Knuf has stepped in NP Smarkus' place as booker, while Jushin Lyger has been replaced by Hiroshi Hase! This is great news for all of us backstage and all our fans. We've lost a few members of our staff in the fracas- Sadly, Victoria, Norman Smiley, Bob Backlund, Joel Gertner, Alexis Laree and the Japanese Pool Boy have all been released. Daffney (Shannon Ward) was almost gone as well, but CM Punk talked to management, and welp, he's the damn champ. So whatever he says goes. In their vacated places, EZ Money has been hired, as has Michael Modest, Slash, the Briscoe Bros, the Backseat Boyz, and one of Roadkill's friends. June 4- OSW Live on PPV- Edition 6 AJ Styles d.

OSW Tag Team Champions Sean Waltman and Scotty Anton d. Roadkill and Funaki and the Backseat Boyz in a non-title match when Waltman pinned Funaki. *1/2 (6:00) After the match, Funaki interviewed Roadkill backstage about why their team sucked. Funaki (interpreter for Roadkill, who would whisper into his ear), said that no offense to himself, but Roadkill didn't feel the chemistry in that match. But don't worry, because Roadkill has a friend coming to help him out soon. Funaki then translated "Chickens!" for Roadkill, and the segment ended. OSW Middleweight Champion Shark Boy d. Spanky to retain the OSW Middleweight Title when Spanky blew a 450 off the top and Shark Boy dived on him for the pin. Blown spots aplenty. *1/2 (6:00) Men's Teioh tried to get a piece of Spanky in the beginning of the match, but was stopped by officials. Teddy Hart d.

He introduced Mr. Hiro Hase, and put him, and all the talent over. He said the people in the back work too damn hard for this to be ruined for them, and this federation will live up to it's potential and showcase some of the greatest atheletes in the world. The audience gave him a standing ovation, except for the guy in row 4, seat C, who was quickly escorted from the building. June 5- OSW will have it's first big PPV event in one month on Sunday July 4th, entitled "The First Annual OSW Wrestling Classic". Expect to see some rivalries come to a close, and some begin a new. Why July 4th? Because nothing else really ever happened that day. Late last night, Spanky was asked why his match with Shark Boy sucked balls. Spanky said he didn't know. Spanky was bitchslapped, and sent home for the evening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Mandarin 0 Report post Posted April 4, 2004 June 5- The next PPV, June 11, has been cancelled, as have all further OSW shows. The press release is set to go out sometime soon. Danny Doring, the man who was scheduled to be Roadkill's tag team partner for next week, has been sent to rehab with a drug problem. We wish the best for him. Roadkill's tag team partner will be rechosen. June 11- Big news! WWE and OSW are proud to announce that a deal has been met, after . All of OSW's talent, and three staff members (the announcers and has been bought out by WWE, and will be the replacement for the proposed "ECW" brand WWE was looking into. OSW's roster, now known as "The Revolution", the third WWE brand, will not have any part in the new OSW which will be headed by Hiro Hase. We wish the best for OSW. Last seen months ago, Paul Heyman will be playing the General Manager role on Revolution TV. Backstage, Paul Heyman will assist in the writing and booking of our programs. Revolution will compete as a brand, like RAW and SmackDown. Revolution is talking with the other brands about trading their superstars to us for cash, and in some instances (Spike Dudley), for free. The superstars that will be heading over to WWE under written contracts are AJ Styles, Bryan Danielson, Chris Hero, Christopher Daniels, CM Punk, Dan Severn, Danny Doring, Donovan Morgan, Frank Shamrock, Funaki, Jerry Lynn, La Parka, Men's Teioh, Michael Modest, Raven, Roadkill, Scotty Anton, Sean Waltman, Shark Boy, Sick Nick Mondo, Spanky, Teddy Hart. Obviously, there may be some cuts to the overall WWE roster. Ace Steel, Colt Cabana, Frank Shamrock, Jay Briscoe, Jimmy Rave, Johnny Kashmere, Mark Briscoe, Scoot Andrews, Tito Ortiz and Trent Acid are all in WWE under developmental contracts with OVW. Terry Funk and Slash have been let go. Our pay-per-view is still scheduled for July 4th, replacing SmackDown's "Vengeance". We have now been picked up by Spike TV in a Friday night timeslot. The Revolution roster will remain the same and will run schedules different to all other WWE superstars. We can't wait to begin our working relationship with WWE, and we hope that you continue to watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
