Jingus 0 Report post Posted January 6, 2009 It's "been", not "be". You see, a year or two before that I'd been a manager in a different fed that ran that building, and somehow I'd had three or four matches there but never got booked to be pinned for whatever reason. And I hadn't actually run him out of the fed, he left for his own reasons right after I'd beaten him in a match, we just used that as a kayfabe excuse for him to be mad at me. Fat dude owns the federation I think, knew the match would suck, and saved the fans about 5 minutes of time. It's a longer and more complicated story than that, but yeah, that's mostly accurate. The fat guy's also the one who put in on Youtube. (In a typical rib of his, he doesn't put the actually watchable match we'd had once before, it's this abortion instead.) I could watch Jingus take awkward bumps all day. What do you expect? I was an announcer... with no athletic background... and a mild case of cerebral palsy. Nobody should expect me to be looking like Dean Malenko out there. And my opponent was an untrained manager who was legally blind without his glasses, thus making things even more of a perfect storm. Do people pay to go to these shows? Somebody post more of these! Actually, yeah. Cheap tickets that day, like $5 or thereabouts, since it was a loooong show where we taped a couple months' worth of television footage. You apparently have never attended a little low-budget indy show. Welcome to Southern rassling. There are legions of shows like that across the land, many of them actually much worse than this one was. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted January 6, 2009 Jingus kind of looks like my pal Drew_K, just a bit bigger and a bit more hair loss going on up top. Maybe that's just how indy wrestlers look. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Niggardly King 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2009 Do you have any more matches online Jingus? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jingus 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2009 Nah, sadly that's the only one. I had about a dozen matches, mostly horrible comedy tag matches and the like; along with about a million different backstage vignettes. But I don't have footage for most of it, a lot of it either was never taped or the footage just got lost. And what I do have is mostly on VHS tapes, and I don't have the setup to transfer VHS to digital. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
