Strong Style Typings: Blood, Sweat and Beers

David Gives Goliath an Indian Burn

The Twiggy Tryouts

 

Nothing makes my day quite so much as someone putting something over on Manny. When that someone is the diminutive Twiggy, pound for pound the smartest wrestler in Quebec, well that just makes my day so much sweeter.

 

Twiggy came into the IWS headquarters last week on a mission: looking to find out who his opponent or opponents would be at the Medley. Manny laughed and laughed and laughed... and then explained to Twiggy that there was no way in hell that he was going to have the IWS embarrassed by having someone wrestle at the biggest show of the year who weighs less than one of the Olsen twins (before one of their bulimia and botox diets), especially with TNA’s Team 3D coming as special guests.

 

Twiggy pointed out that Brother Ray and Brother Devon hang out with a Runt who does not outweigh Twiggy by that much and have never seemed to have a problem with that. Manny was less than impressed with the argument.

 

That was when Twiggy dropped his bombshell. It seems that when Manny forced Twiggy and Juan to sign the contract for their “Winner Keeps His Job” match back at Scarred for Life 2007 that the Rock and the Cock Express inserted a clause into the contract ensuring that the winner did not just get to keep his job, but that he was guaranteed a match at the Medley. Twiggy won that match, forcing Pornstar Juan into retirement and breaking up the Rock and Cock Express…

 

It is easy to tell when Manny is about to lose it, he looks like a pressure cooker that is about to explode and send its lid into orbit. After Manny nearly broke his foot kicking the new IWS ring, he calmed down a bit and told Twiggy that if he wanted to wrestle at the Medley, he would have to find himself a tag team partner.

 

From what I am told, Twiggy has been holding auditions ever since and you can see those auditions online here:

Damian, the Sequel

Actually, It’s More Like a Remake

 

Earlier this year at Summer Slaughter 2007, IWS Owner PCP Crazy F’N Manny booked Damian in Damian vs. Steen III, on the grounds that, “I know that those two crazy fuckers will kill each other. The fans love that so they will buy tickets and I will make money. Plus I hate both of them, so I will enjoy watching those two murder each other.”

 

For the Medley, Manny wanted to continue the theme of booking Damian in matches that he wanted to see and that the fans wanted to see and that would see Damian and someone that Manny also dislikes killing each other for everyone’s amusement.

 

So, this would be the bit where I shamefully admit that – YES – I did give Manny the idea for the match. Manny was ranting about finding Damian the perfect opponent and enumerating all the reasons why he hates Damian and I just blurted out the name. I couldn’t help it. It’s the same reason why I can’t watch Jeopardy, I am compelled to shout out the answers. A few years ago, I got thrown out of the preview screening for Quiz Show for doing that.

 

This match was born out of why Manny hates Damian so much.

 

Last year after wrapping up his feud against Steenerico with Beef Wellington as his partner and in the run-up to a feud with Franky the Mobster that looked really promising, Damian walked away from the IWS. He had a lot of valid reasons: he needed to heal some nagging injuries and he was about a year behind on watching his puroresu, plus apparently there was some paperwork related to being “The God of War” that he had to take care of.

 

Who knew?

 

Manny was pissed that Damian and Franky the Mobster never had their pay-off match, but he was even more pissed off at Christmas time when Damian made a return to wrestling for a very special match… only that match was not in the IWS, it was for Canada’s only regular joshi promotion, Montreal’s Association de Lutte Feminin in a match against the First Lady of Hardcore and (at the time) CZW’s Ironman Champion, Lufisto.

 

I think you can see where this going can’t you?

 

I was not at that show unfortunately. Naturally, Lufisto and Damian tore the house down… in front of an impressive crowd for an non-IWS show. Still more people claim to have seen that match than were actually in the hall.

 

Also, according to Pat Laprade, editor and publisher of the Quebec Pro Wrestling Almanac, they killed each other in front of even less people in Shawinigan.

 

Originally, they were planning on doing a rematch at ALF, but before that could happen Lufisto’s back gave out. You could blame Damian for that a little… along with Necro Butcher and CZW’s Cage of Death. Still, Damian was the straw that broke Lufisto’s back although calling Damian a straw recalls the story of how a straw blown by a hurricane can punch through steel.

 

Now, Lufisto is back and Lufisto’s back is back and you have to think that given a chance to get some revenge against the man who put her on the shelf, she will take it… and then some.

 

So, Damian vs. Lufisto 3 is going to be a little bit less like Halloween 2 and a little bit more like Evil Dead 2, where they remake the first movie with a bigger budget because everyone has heard of the first film, but no one has actually seen it.

 

In other words, at Blood, Sweat and Beers 2007 on the biggest and best stage for independent wrestling in Quebec, in front of the biggest and best crowd for independent wrestling in Canada, Damian and Lufisto are going to FUCKING KILL EACH OTHER, and when they do… Uncle Manny will be smiling and counting his money.

You are entitled to your opinion naturally, but my continuously flooded in-box tends to confirm that there are a lot of indy wrestling fans interested in the promotion started by Sexxxy Eddy, where El Generico made his debut, and where Kevin Steen and Max Boyer first came to the attention of indy wrestling fans.

Onyx is Back!

Onyx and White = Ebony and Ivory

 

It was never a question of IF, it was always a question of WHEN, and it probably should come as a surprise to absolutely no one that Dru Onyx is leaving his post at the commentary table next to IWS play by play man Mikahail Q. Rotch, Esquire, to lace back up the wrestling boots, nor that he is choosing to do so at the IWS’ biggest show of the year. Onyx has always had a great sense of drama.

 

He has also, always been a man with a great sense (or is that scents?) of opportunity. With the Hardcore Ninjaz banished to Japan on a training sabbatical, the team of Scarred and Sexxxy imploding and 2.0 winning the IWS tag team belts using vulture tactics, there has never been a better chance for someone to enter the IWS and “bring terror to tag team wrestling”, especially given that Dru Onyx was IWS tag team champion and NEVER LOST THE BELTS. His injury forced him to return his share of the belt to his partner The Green Phantom who found himself successfully defending the belts with surprise partner Sexxxy Eddy at Un F’N Sanctioned 2007.

 

What is surprising is who Dru Onyx has chosen as his partner and why he claims that he is making his return.

 

You would think that now that Dru Onyx is healed and ready to go that he would reteam with his former tag team partner, The Green Phantom, but Dru Onyx wants nothing to do with the IWS Hardcore Hero, claiming that his former partner in “Mean and Green”, “has lost what little sanity that he had left. Let’s be honest, in this business, unless you were born in or within spitting distance of Mexico, you wear a mask because you are ugly or because you are crazy or both. Before Phantom got a chunk taken out of his arm and lost the IWS tag team belts at Know Your Enemies 2007, he was just ugly. Now he’s ugly and crazy.”

 

At the risk of actually agreeing with the Lip from Laval on ANYTHING, I should point out that The Green Phantom does not appear that sane in this particular you-tube clip from a recent appearance on a Montreal radio sports show:

 

Dru Onyx has decided to pair with his top student from the Torture Chamber, Justin White aka Superbrat. This does make a lot of sense. They are both former British Commenwealth Champions. They are both veterans of tours of the States and Europe, usually travelling together. Justin White is not just Dru Onyx’ best student, he is his most obsessive. You could almost call Justin, Onyx’ stalker except that Onyx has the sort of ego that welcomes being stalked.

 

Instead of Single White Female it’s Single Black Wrestler!

 

The name of the team is “Madkastle” and here is their team philosophy:

Madkastle is simply a state of mind in which one uses insanity as a structured form of fuel to reach all goals and accomplish all dreams. Not a physical place, but an ideal using chaos as a spiritual foundation to reinforce a barrier of superiority and arrogance in which extreme force of will is applied. Madkastle’s mentality is the application of negative energy manipulated in a positive way. One simple thought embraced by a selected few. Anarchy; mayhem; destruction; terror; strength in numbers; pain and laughter.

 

Welcome to Madkastle!”

 

Ummm… is Onyx forming a tag team or starting a cult? Whatever happened too “That damn fool better not get in the ring or I will break him in half!”

 

“That damn fool better not get in the fucking ring or I will rip his fucking arms off and beat him to death with them. Him and his fucking pet lizard too!”

 

That’s more like it.

 

This would bring us neatly to the WHY Dru Onyx is forming Madkastle with Justin White and making his return to the IWS. Seems that the Bajan Bomber was less than impressed when he found out that Fred la Merveille beat his prize pupil at Hardcore Heat 2007 with a dollar store fake hand.

 

“Don’t get me wrong. I respect Fred. He acts the clown, but only because he knows that if you play his game, he can make you look foolish. Justin never should have given Fred the opportunity to play the fool. This is why I am coming back – to teach Justin the lessons that he has not yet learned. And his first IWS lesson is that you do not swap jokes with a clown. YOU KILL THE FUCKING CLOWN! And at Blood, Sweat and Beers, there will be blood in the ring, the blood of a clown, there will be sweat, the honest sweat of real wrestlers and there will be beers, the beers that Madkastle are going to raise in victory!”

 

“And once we are fininished with Fred and Kenny, we will take on any Tom, Dick and Harry that wants to get in the ring with us. Cheech and Cloudy? They are weeds and we are the lawnmowers! The Super Smash Brothers? It will be Game Over for those freaks! Twiggy and a mystery partner? I have had bigger shits than Twiggy. Unless his partner is Godzilla, we ain’t breaking a sweat! 2.0? Those two mouths that walk will learn that 2 is just the middle number in the One Two and Three when we beat them. You find anyone and put them in the ring with Justin and me. We will hurt them and we will beat them. We are here to hurt people, to win gold and to wear gold.”
