How is it that there are numerous promotions running successful shows throughout the area yet 90% of the posts on Jimmy's board are people debating whether DCW is coming back, or IWF is coming back, or where Leslie Jones had lunch today. Who cares if DCW is coming back, or IWF for that matter untill they do why waste time talking about it. People have debated it since both stopped running. Just because Cannon's 17 part interview has gotten Dewayne Huckleberry's name back out there does not mean that DCW is coming back. Just from an interview now we've got people speculating that DCW is coming back with Bret Hart and Kurt Angle, huh? WTF? Just because they worked a show with Kurt Angle years back doesn't mean they are best buds or keep in touch. I worked shows with Jake Roberts three times, doesn't mean we get together and smoke crack nowadays. Just give that shit a rest, if it comes back great, then you can say I told you so, if not then you don't look like such an ass. Just wait untill there is something to talk about rather than beat that dead horse everyday.
Neil Taylor shows up in XOW!?!
Meanwhile while everyone discusses promotions that are dead and gone it went almost unmentioned that Neil "the Real Deal" Taylor made a shocking return to XOW alongside Pure Destruction. I would think this would be newsworthy considering all the real heat there's been between Neil and Storm and the XOW lockeroom in general. I haven't gotten the whole story on the circumstances leading up to him showing up there or what exactly happened, I just got a phonecall from someone asking ME about it, and I had no clue. I will have to do some digging.
Memphis to get a developmental deal?????
Well that's the rumor and it's probably true but damn what the hell for? Don't get me wrong there are some really talented guys in Memphis. But it's been being ran all wrong. Rather than guys like Lawler getting over the younger guys and making them stars they just keep putting over the old guys and making Corey Maclin the main focus of the main event angles which is as Corey would say, "Ridickalous". So will they be "developing" Maclin for a run in the WWE?? Will Shock take his Scott Steiner wannabe act to RAW? Will Kevin White become "Kevey" of the Spirit Squad? (it would suit that little bitch well) Well whatever happens we all know Gregory will be sitting there with a hard-on reporting on his "mempho board" with his Jerry Lawler doll shoved up his ass. (Since you didn't find the humor in the Bob Holly post, maybe that amused you, Mr. White)
Will ECW succeed this time around?
The answer is no. First off it will not be the ECW everyone is longing for. It can't be. For one, from what I've read the tv will be taped at the Smackdown tapings, not in the smaller venues it's used to. Plus, that fire that everyone had before really won't be there as just another brand of the WWE. Plus the minute it starts to takeoff WWE will cut the legs out from under it to make sure it doesnt outshine there main shows. If you ask me, ECW's heyday was from '94 to '97, maybe '98. After that it started downhill and by the time it made it to TNN it was just a shell of what it once was. I really hope it succeeds and like I mentioned before provide a place for guys who don't fit into the WWE style or mold to go and show there talent. We shall see.......
Check out Wrestling Riot Online
Check out the former "Coach BT", Brian Tramel's new site that is gonna give news and results from around the area. This is a great idea and good place for people like me to keep up with what's going on at all the various shows without wading through all the crap filled message boards trying to find results. Good luck Brian and let know if I can help out with anything.
Internet Peeps not happy with Christian's reign so far
It seems alot of the same "smart marks" who were whining about Vince never giving Christian the ball and running with it are now saying that Christian isn't making a convincing NWA champion. Of course most of the same folks said the same exact thing about Jarrett, Rhino, and Raven. So what the hell do they want? Give the guy a chance, he's only held the belt a couple of months, give him some time. Who else that's there would make a better champion? Sting? His time is past. Steiner? See Sting. Abyss? Perhaps, before they put everybody and their mother over on him. Christopher Daniels? I think if given some time to shed his X-Division status he would make a great World Champion. Samoa Joe? Eventually but it looks like they may be rushing it, jumping from his X-Division title matches to all of a sudden being Sting's partner against Jarrett & Steiner seemed kinda random and rushed, I think they should build him up against some larger competition before throwing him straight to the "big boys" maybe an angle with Abyss or Monty Brown. Rumor is he hurt his knee at the last tapings so that may be a factor.
WOOOO!!! The Charges are dropped!
Well, perhaps the Andersons took them out in the parking lot as they did Dusty Rhodes back in the day but somehow no witnesses showed up for Naitch's Road Rage trial so the Nature Boy walked the aisle a free man. Speaking of walking the aisle, word is Flair is going to be getting married again soon with "the Game of Kings Assassin" Triple H as his best man, I can't help but picture Flair walking the aisle to get married with his ring music playing with Triple H standing at the altar in that Wrestlemania getup. Hope this marriage works out better than the last.
Well that's all for now. Thanks for reading. Still looking for some interview subjects so email me if your willing to do one.
