JoeDirt 0 Report post Posted July 2, 2004 I thought Joe was working JAPW? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phoenix Fury Legdrop 0 Report post Posted July 2, 2004 JAPW's now billing Joe as not being at their show due to "Japanese committments" And I can understand why Whitmer's in, but I'm not a huge fan of Mr. Roboto myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Real F'n Show Report post Posted July 2, 2004 Looks good so far. Hopefully Shelley, Homicide, Delirious, Jacobs, and Danny Daniels will be added. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Soylent Green Is People Report post Posted July 3, 2004 All guys that were expected to be in it aside from Joe, but with him no longer booked for JAPW it definately strengthens the tournament, somewhere from 2-4 Joe matches = goodness. Hopefully this time there won't be a string of late pulloutss and injuries like last year where Whitmer, Trent Acid, Truth Martini, Josh Prohibition, i think Tracy Smothers and maybe another guy or two all dropped out for various reasons in the leadup to the tournament.

Guest DeathBecomesYou Report post Posted July 3, 2004 Looks like a good show, they better have Danny Daniels in the tournament though. As for Whitmer, i've always liked him better in IWA, compared to his ROH efforts, he's pretty good as the resident prick heel, plus being a former winner he brings a bit of credibility to the tournament IMO. Does anyone else think, that sometime in the tournament, we'll get Joe vs Hero? Or will they leave it out of the tournament and finish the feud at another show?

Slingshot Suplex 0 Report post Posted July 4, 2004 Delirious is pure crap. Yeah I'd kinda like to hear an explanation for this too. I know I'm biased but this is the first I've heard of anyone calling him crap. The guy can mat wrestle with anybody you want to put in there, go to the air and has an entertaining gimmick. Not trying to chnage your mind. I'm just curious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Corino 1000 Report post Posted July 4, 2004 Please, explain your point of view. My point of view on Delierous is that he can't mat wrestle at all. The workers he is with carry him through his matches, he uses the same combos in every match which I might add aren't believable at all, and his gimmick got boring after a while. When I first saw him I thought he was a relitivly good wrestler. But as I saw more matches I realized he does use the same crap over again.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phoenix Fury Legdrop 0 Report post Posted July 4, 2004 You mean that arm thing? I don't know how far your viewing of IWA is, but Delirious has added more to the "run around and continuously hook your arm" spot, including about eight different types of cradles to go into. He also has added a bunch of different weird limb submissions to his reperotire (sp) lately. And, after the beginning of this year, I haven't had to see anyone once visibly carry him through anything, let alone entire matches. Heck, I think he's the glue that holds his series of matches with Matt Sydal together, and Sydal's not too shabby. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Corino 1000 Report post Posted July 5, 2004 Dude Sydel rocks! Sydel holds those matches together. Anyway Delierous is just a boring wrestler to me. He seems lost out there when somebody isn't out there to carry him through match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phoenix Fury Legdrop 0 Report post Posted July 5, 2004 That's the first time I've ever heard anyone call Delirious "boring". Even if you don't dig his work, you can't deny that he's one of the most energetic guys on the indies as a face. By the way, Corino 1000, could you please give me an example of Delirious "being carried"? I really am not seeing what you're seeing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest SoCalTF Report post Posted July 5, 2004 Delirious made me an IWA-MS fan again. BAH BAH BAH BAH! BUNNY POWER! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Markingout Report post Posted July 5, 2004 Delirious made me an IWA-MS fan again. BAH BAH BAH BAH! BUNNY POWER! With all the great stuff in the IWA only Delirious made you a fan again? Delirious is watchable, not great, but definatly not pure crap. BJ Whitmer in the TPI is a must for IWA, because he is a regular, who is usually near the top of the card. Nate Webb better go in the first round, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
