The Infamous Doug Gilbert Lawler Shoot

Found this on youtube, if you've never seen it, check it out.

Oh No Canun is maad @ mee

It's funny everyone claims they want people to post under their real name and give their honest opinion but as soon as you do they cry like little bitches. Before we get to the retard, let's talk about Mr. GTW, Dudley Williams. Now when I said what I did about GTW, I in no way attacked him personally. I simply gave my honest assessment of GTW as a wrestling company and his promoting skills(or lack of). So how does he respond, "there's nothing good to say about Gene." Hmm, how about he worked two times on my shitty show last time for next to nothing because I had no workers cause I don't have the good fuckin' sense to call and actually try to book workers, which is good since you don't bother to advertise your show either, I guess you hope by some miracle wrestlers and fans will just show up, "if you book it, they will come." I tried to be honest without hurting your feelings but you know what, FUCK YOU DUDLEY! Is that enough "balls" for you tough guy?

Now onto everyone's favorite non-typing retard, Cannon. I tried to be nice and give my opinion while being very careful to not step on your toes and then you through a hissy fit cause I dare to say that spending twenty pages worth of message board and 6 interviews talking about a FAILED wrestling promotion is stupid, well guess what it is. You trash the IWF and Leslie Jones, but the fact is DCW FAILED, it's dead and gone. The difference is Leslie didn't leave a bunch of bad debt and pissed off people in his wake. You want it to come back cause he's the only idiot that thinks you know your head from your ass. Go ahead and talk about DCW, I'm sure he'll find some other money mark to back it and he'll take you all on another short ride with a few shows with some names that don't draw enough to pay Kevin Nash's lunch tab. Then he'll be gone again like a theif in the night leaving you back to writing your incomprehensible column and fending off people he owes trying to get to him through you. See most of the workers feel the same way but they'll never say it cause they think they might get booked if it happens to come back, but me I give a fuck less so I'll tell you how it really is.

Good luck and oh yeah, FUCK YOU TOO, retard.

How's that for thinking, bitch!

Cheap Heat returning to HollywoodJimmy.com

After a one year absence 'Cheap Heat' is returning regularly to the HollywoodJimmy.com lineup. The first one has been sent to Tia featuring an interview with CCW Owner Stephen Creasy. I would like to say thanks to Jimmy and Tia for having me back and look forward to writing for the site.

(this blog will still be updated with various stuff from time to time)

Things never change........

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.

DCW, ECW, and whatever else I think of.......

First off I have to say the end of world must be upon us, Neil Taylor and Hollywood Jimmy both updated their blogs within the past week. I think thats mentioned in Revelations or something.........just kidding guys. (However, if Burcham updates his in next few days as well you may want to get right with God just in case)



GOD NO SHOWS WWE PAY-PER-VIEW

Speaking of "God", I couldn't believe he no-showed Backlash leaving Shawn Michaels to take a beating from The McMahons and the Spirit Squad, perhaps he tried to hold them up for more cash like Jarrett or Warrior.



CANNON'S INTERVIEWS ARE A HIT!

Before I get into the WWE and ECW stuff I have to throw in my 2 cents on the Dewayne Huckleberry interviews that Cannon has been doing. I agree with everyone that the interviews have been good and it's been interesting to hear his side of some things, BUT as for the talk of DCW coming back or Dewayne starting a new company, I think it's totally absurd people are saying they'd be willing to work for him again. It's people like that, that skip out owing everyone money that makes it hard for other promotions to get buildings and tv time because people don't distinguish between the different intials of the companies, they just know WRESTLING screwed them and they want no part of it. But these promoters do it, then they fall off the face of the planet for a while then they slide back in and do it all again a few years later because everyone is willing to work for them again because they might just get to work a show with Disco Inferno or their favorite "Legend". Now of course I'm the only who will say this cause I'm not looking to get booked, but others know deep down they feel the same way. Again nothing against Cannon, the interviews have been good and it's gotten his column a LOT of attention.




D-X RETURNING????

Well the rumors have been circulating since the moment HBK did the crotch chop at Wrestlemania 22 only to be followed by "The Game/Cerebral Assassin/King of Kings/Mr. Mutton Chops" Triple H doing one in his match as well. But there seems to be some confirmation that a Degeneration X reunion is coming soon based on some spoilers from a PPV preview for Judgement Day that includes "the reformation of DX." We'll have to wait and see. Now anyone who knows me knows that I was a big fan of D-X and stole from them liberally during the time I "wrestled" but I just don't know how well it's gonna work these days. Especially with Shawn Michaels now being a hardcore holy roller. Although, apparently he's cleared it with Jesus to say 'suck it' several times now so who knows. Perhaps, it's his revenge on God for standing him up at Backlash. We'll see.



ECW IS RETURNING FOR REAL THIS TIME............MAYBE

Well another rumor that's been more rampant than the DX rumor is the "ECW is returning as a seperate brand" rumor which actually began this time last year before the first ECW One Night Stand. It continued til shortly afterward then fizzled out til recently. A few things make it seem like it's for real this time. For one Sabu came out on his website and said that right after working the TNA Lockdown PPV he signed a one year deal with WWE to be part of the new ECW. Since then several other former ECW stars have signed on as well. It also looks as though that WWE may be cutting ties with OVW (which Heyman has been running since middle of last year) they recently bought out OVW's tape library and Heyman hasn't been at the tapings since the ECW talks started. One of the more interesting aspects is that it's rumored that Vince is putting Tommy Dreamer in charge of the new ECW and Paul Heyman will be working UNDER him.
Personally I think if they truly made it's own entity and left it to itself (like when Vince was just secretly helping to fund it) then it might have a chance. Using the former ECW stars and the newer developemental guys who don't exactly fit the WWE mold (i.e. CM Punk, Kasey James and the like) then this thing could succeed. However if they try to have an invasion type angle or a in ring feud with the WWE guys it's gonna die cause Vince has already shown he can't do that without burying the other brand. It will be interesting to see how it unfolds, I think the Joey Styles "shoot promo" Monday was very well done and good way to kick things off in that direction. I've read where Styles actually wrote that promo himself and then got it approved by the writers. I believe it cause it was one of the better promos done on raw in a long time. You can check out a clip of it below.

I be back in a few days to talk about the latest with TNA and whatever pops up over the weekend. Check back soon.

Karma is a bitch......

Harcore Holly fighting for his life

By Ed Williams III

April 24, 2006

Hardcore Holly is one of the toughest competitors to ever step inside the squared circle. He has come out on top of countless battles over the years, but he’s currently facing the toughest battle of his life. Holly has been out of action since November and is currently at home suffering a serious staph infection. Doctors have told Holly that he’s lucky to not only still have his arm, but also to be alive. While Holly is currently taking extremely strong antibiotics to treat the infection, he’s not out of the woods from this life-threatening scare just yet. WWE.com caught up with Holly to talk about his current condition, how it all started, what’s keeping his spirits up and much more.

WWE.com: There are a lot of stories circulating on the Internet about your condition. To set the record straight, what is your current condition?
Hardcore Holly: Right now, instead of being in the hospital, I’m sitting at home, hooked up to IV antibiotics. Because the staph infection got so bad, I was hospitalized twice because the antibiotics weren’t strong enough. When it came back the second time I had to go in for emergency surgery. The infection was growing on my bone. If they didn’t get the infection then I could have lost my arm, and I’m still not in the clear from that. Instead of having to stay in the hospital for the next several weeks, I’m at home getting antibiotics twice a day. And that stuff is strong as sh*t, boy; it makes me feel like crap.

WWE.com: How did this condition come about?
Hardcore Holly: Basically what happened was, the first time I got the infection, I took antibiotics to get rid of it, and it went away. Then it came back, and I just never had it taken care of properly. I started getting the infection again the same week Eddie died in Minneapolis. I was getting conflicting stories form the doctors. One doctor told me to go home. Another doctor wanted to send me to the hospital, but instead they sent me overseas to wrestle. And I have no problem with that. That’s my job. But I didn’t realize the situation was as bad as it was, and I got really sick while I was overseas. When I came home, I had surgery on my elbow, and that’s when I found out the infection was in my elbow, growing on the bone. And that’s why I’m having these problems now. I thank Dr. Rios, because the night we landed overseas, he got all the junk cleaned out of the infection to where I could work and stand the pain a little bit. Then when I got back home, I said enough was enough and I had to get this taken care of.

WWE.com: Why did you go in for the elbow surgery in the first place?
Hardcore Holly: I went in because I had numbness in my fingers. I had bone spurs and bone chips so bad in my elbow that it was pinching the nerve. And I had put that off for a long time. With that surgery is when everything got worse for me.

WWE.com: What would have happened if you didn’t go in for the elbow surgery?
Hardcore Holly: I probably wouldn’t have an arm right now or I’d be dead. The doctor told me I’m lucky to be alive and lucky to have an arm. And that’s because it wasn’t taken care of when it should have been. I didn’t know it was that bad. It was painful and it made me sick, but I didn’t realize how serious it was. Two weeks ago I woke up with a fever and thought I had the flu. I got up and threw up, but didn’t think anything of it. But then my arm swelled up like a balloon. I was sent straight to the hospital, and that’s when they found out the infection was in my arm. We won’t know for sure if they got all of it until I’m done with the antibiotics, which will be another three weeks or so. And now I do nothing except sit around hooked up to that stupid machine. It zaps all of my energy because it’s so strong, and it doesn’t make you feel really well. I can’t work out. I can’t do anything. I’ve lost so much weight. But I’ll be back. I’ll come back like I always have come back. This is just another hurdle. That’s all it is.

WWE.com: Before your arm swelled up again two weeks ago, did you think the infection was gone?
Hardcore Holly: I knew something was wrong. I just knew something wasn’t right. If it was taken care of the right way I wouldn’t be having this problem. I don’t know if it was a matter of miscommunication or what. I don’t know. I’m going to do what I’m told to do. If I’m told to go somewhere to wrestle, that’s what I’m going to do. I’m not going to dispute anything because that’s what I’m paid to do. I’ve been getting a lot of response from the fans, and I want to thank all of them. And for the fans that don’t like me, they only know me from television. If they were to meet me, they would see the kind of person I really am. I’m a giving person. I give to charities and stuff like that. It’s the fans choice if they don’t like me, but they don’t need to say derogatory things because I’m sick. This could be life-threatening. I also want to thank Vince for taking care of me. I have the utmost respect for that man. Even though we’ve had our differences and stuff like that, that man has always taken care of me. And I won’t ever, ever forget it. I am grateful to him. I’m just ready to get back to work. I’m frustrated. It’s depressing just sitting around. At least when I broke my neck I could get out and do stuff. Now, I’m hooked up to an IV and can’t leave the house.

WWE.com: What drives you in this fight, how do you try to maintain a positive attitude?
Hardcore Holly: E-mails from fans and stuff like that have fueled me. I’m not done yet. There’s still things I want to accomplish. By no means am I finished yet. I’ll be back just as I was before, if not better. When I came back from my broke neck I was better than I was before, and with this, I’ll come back better again. I’m not worried about that. It will be a little harder this time because I haven’t been able to work out or do any cardio or do anything. Nothing’s easy. It’s just a test to see how bad I want it – how bad I want to come back. I belong in that ring.

WWE.com: Do you have a message for your fans out there that are pulling for you?
Hardcore Holly: I just want to thank them for their support. It has meant a lot to me and makes me want to come back even more. I didn’t realize how many people out there really cared. There are a lot of fans out there that do, and I really appreciate that. The fans are my main motivation. When I come back I’ll do the best I can to entertain them. And for the fans that don’t like me, I’ll do the best I can to make them still hate me. I want to hurry up and come back, but I can’t hurry up. It’s one of those things I have to make sure that it’s gone before I really let loose. The drive is there, and the passion is there more than it’s ever been. I’ve got a lot to prove when I come back. I’m not through yet.

RF Shoot with the New Age Outlaws

RF Video Shoot Interview with the New Age Outlaws/The James Gang


This is definetly one of the more entertaining shoot interviews out there with "Road Dog" B.G. James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn/Kipp James. These guys were really open with everything unlike a lot of guys who pull punches in hopes of going back to WWE one day, these guys are obviously content to work for TNA cause they held nothing back when talking about Vince, Hunter, and the WWE in general. B.G. is obviously quite high during this thing which may be why he was so open. Again I will not do like a lot of net writers and tell you everything that was discussed cause my intention with these isn't to spoil the whole thing just to kinda give a thumbs up or thumbs down on whether they are worth getting.

One of the interesting/sad things about this was hearing about the hundreds of thousands of dollars they made and that now they don't have shit, as B.G. put it to the cameraman, "I'd wash your socks for a pack of Ramen noodles." Gunn said his ex-wife took most of his money while Road Dog readily admits most all his went to drugs and he burned through all the money he'd banked in the WWE in just a matter of monthes after being released.

They talk about the fact that they went from being nothing happening midcarders to the hottest tag team of the day and how Shawn Michaels and Triple H saw their act as a way to further get THEMSELVES over. I'm not going to go into a lot of detail about it as pretty much anything you can imagine pertaining to them is here, road stories, drug stories, you name it. Below is a preview video of the first 10 minutes of the shoot.
