BTW, just because I'm the folder mod now means you're under no obligation to kiss my ass (although it wouldn't hurt)

Good review. And ditching the PBP was a good idea, me thinkin. Keep up the good work.

[Guest Jay Z. Hollywood]

Well, the more marquee matches I still did the extensive PBP, but I'll modify it per the majority opinion.

 

I'm very open to adopting a newer reviewing style, as long as it doesn't precisely mimic the other people currently doing show reviews on the site (JHawk, Coey, Corey, PK, Dames etc.)

[Guest The Last Free Voice]

What group is that in your sig? APW???

[Guest Jay Z. Hollywood]

IWS.

It's a religion thing.

[Guest netslob]

[Nevermortal]

Any idea if anyone has a Best of Masada or Best of the Texas Death Club tape, Jay?

If she doesn't have one made already I'm sure she'd make one for you.

[Nevermortal]

Awesome.

 

Masada > All

[Guest JacK]

Nice Review, though I like PBP to an extent, lets you know what's going on when you can't see it. Still heaps good though, and sounds like a good show.

 

 

Ok, I was wondering also, what's the whole story-thing with the formation/break up of the Lost Boyz, and what are like the Excommunicator/Holy Roller thingies?

[Guest netslob]

huh, i like the name of Masada's finisher...the Masadamizer...dig that cooky wordplay.

I'm not an oldschool Wildside fan like say, Phoenix Fury Legdrop, and have all the details, but the gist of it is that the Lost Boyz were two guys who were corrupted by Jim Mitchell to evil.

 

Azrael turned on Gabriel at Freedom Fight 2003 and joined the NWA Elite. This happened after Azrael returned from an injury, where he bled buckets in a Lost Boyz vs. Iceberg handicap match. I know there's a Jeff Bailey promo that explains it, but I don't know it off the top of my head.

 

The (Un)Holy Roller- Gabriel hits a frankensteiner on the opponent, and then Azrael comes off the top immediately with a frog elbow drop.

 

Excommunicator- a tandem version of Chris Hero's/Danny Daniels' Rubix Cube. Basically, the opponent is hoisted up in an Electric Chair, then driven down on the back of his head and neck.

Cool, thanks for that . . . they sound decidedly on the awesome side.

[Phoenix Fury Legdrop]

Jay's right for the most part: Before being Lost Boys, Gabriel and Azrael were Twizted (Gabriel) and Mark E. Mark (Azrael), two proverbial jobbers (though, at one point, Mark E. Mark was a member of Suicidal Tendencies, one of my favorite heel groups in a long time).

 

If I remember correctly, there was some four-way with those two and two other guys from the Wildside Dojo on Wildside TV that got broken up by an NWA Elite attack, which ended up with Twizted and Mark E. Mark going away for a while and coming back right before Freedom Fight 2001 as two-thirds of Jim Mitchell's short-lived stable, alongside Scottie Wrenn.

 

I think the explanation for the Azrael heel turn is something that sounds way too artistic for wrestling, like when Iceberg made Azrael bleed all of that blood, he let all of the humanistic blood escape from Azrael's veins and the demonic fluid that once ran inside of Azrael was back.
