favorite all-time heel I have three Kurt Angle, Edge And Christian(when they where a tag team) I dunno really know why,I guess cause they where just funny

"He's the game all right."- Edge
"Yeah if the game is pin the tail on the two faced reekazoid." -Christian

Edge: You know what, I hope we can help Kurt get his medals back from Benoit.
Christian: Yeah, you think they mean that much to him?
Edge: Well, there's that and then we don't have to hear him talk about it anymore.
Christian: Yeah.

Christian: "So are you in?"
Angle: "Six man elimination table match with Booker T and The Dudleyz? You bet your sweet asses I'm in!"
Edge: "Did he just say sweet asses?"

Of course...of course...my favorite heel has to be Undertaker during the Ministry days. No one may not agree, but it was this time period that got me interested in wrestling. I used to hate it, but one day I was flipping through the channels and saw Stephanie McMahon getting kidnapped by the Undertaker and being tied to the Undertaker sign and Vince becoming the "higher power" and it was awesome. I cried the day the Undertaker left the company for damn near a year, then returned during Judgment Day 2000 riding a motorcycle. Let's just say I'm throughly happy and excited to the point of butterflies in my stomach about seeing Undertaker fighting his first match as the dead man on Smackdown tonight (I missed Wrestlemania) I'm starting to love Chris Jericho too. Many might think he was born to wrestle on Raw, but I would like to see him going to Smackdown and dominating the ring and taking the title from Eddie. That would be a good match, a ladder match between Eddie and Chris for the title. I don't think Jericho can win the title on Raw, with so many big names on the roster. I'm not saying he's not talented enough to win the title on Raw because he is, but they won't give it to him with all the other big names yet to have the title. Another heel I'm starting to notice, actually two of them are none other than Batista and Randy Orton. I hated John Cena in the beginning, mainly because he was fueding with Undertaker, but I admit he's going far in the business.

I think they were the first heels I ever started to actually LIKE tongue.gif Ah, my journey from being a couch fan had begun...

Still, I take a very old school belief that a true heel probably shouldn't make the crowd like him wink2.gif We're supposed to hate heels, and a heel that can make you hate him for his character or his actions is damn good at his job.

Of, course, there's a difference...a heel that makes you hate him because he buries the careers of everyone you like, holds the title for a year because he's married to the head writer, and arranges so his face is on tv every minute of the show, is not so good...
The Krow
I have a few favorite heels for a few reasons...

I enjoy Triple H as a heel...The current Triple H...because he really know what to say in pormos to make the fans angry and things...he also does all of the moves in the ring that makes your favorite wrestler scream like a b!tch...that is what makes a good heel

another one of my favorites is... Scott Hall...not really for the wrestling...more for his drunken mic work...and his look and overall arrogance...also, when he broke the cinder block over Austins knee...that was cool..another thing was his need to get back at someone for humiliating him...

my all time favorite heel is...Chris Jericho...when he was the undisputed champion and he would hold the belts out for the fans to touch and pull them away...so good...his promo's were also good, as he put down the fans and put down the wrestlers...his "vocabulary" was also...good...

thats it for now...

Let's move on to: Who would win in arm wrestling matches conserning these matches:

John Cena vs. Randy Orton
Chris Benoit vs. Chris Jericho
Rey Mysterio vs. Billy Kidman
Triple H vs. Brock Lesnar
Undertaker vs. Kane
Big Show vs. Michael Cole
Vince McMahon vs. Shane McMahon
Batista vs. Scott Steiner
Christian vs. Matt Hardy
Seraphina
Arm wrestling matches? huh.gif Um...not that it matters, but okay...I'll give who'd win an arm wrestling match, and also give my opinion of what a wrestling match would be like between them tongue.gif

John Cena vs. Randy Orton - Randy...although it would be a good wrestling match too.

Chris Benoit vs. Chris Jericho - Benoit. Would also be a five star wrestling match.

Rey Mysterio vs. Billy Kidman - Billy Kidman, as his muscles still work. A match between these two would also be a spot fest...a pretty spot fest, but still a spotfest.

Triple H vs. Brock Lesnar - Brock....he's a machine. A match between them would probably be quite good.

Undertaker vs. Kane - Kane...Taker's more fat than muscle nowadays. Ugly match...would need a strong story to get over.

Big Show vs. Michael Cole - ....

Vince McMahon vs. Shane McMahon - Vince...he's roided up.

Batista vs. Scott Steiner - Batista, he actually has muscles. Scott Steiner has air bags.

Christian vs. Matt Hardy - Dunno...but I'd love to see them wrestle.

Hi Seraphina !

Could you please tell me what happen in raw after the lotery. Because on the channel (in Switzerland), the didn't tell who was in raw and who was in smackdowm. I just saw a big fight between all the wrestler. It was RAW vs Smackdown.

Thank you because I'm a hudge fan but they don't put a lot of wrestling in my country.

Pascaline thumbsup.gif
Seraphina
*is very pleased she seems to have become the resident wrestling guru grin2.gif*

The lottery was utterly meaningless...the only notable changes were the Dudley's, RVD and Booker T to Smackdown, and Edge and Shelton Benjamin to RAW. The other people were lower midcarders, and haven't been seen on tv doing anything of note since.

Paul Heyman was also switched to RAW, but he "quit" before he's work for Eric. He was replaced as GM by Kurt Angle, but has recently returned as a sort of "evil manager" for the Dudley's (who've turned heel). Most likely, this is to get set for the return of ECW in the near future.

Eddie and Benoit are still the world champions (thank god!), but the WWE has decided it would be a good idea to push Bradshaw to the main event, to be the number one contender for Eddie's title disgust.gif You'll only have to read up to find my extremely low opinion of Bradshaw....

If you'd like to know anything specific about what's going on, just ask grin2.gif For I am a fountain of knowledge, from which wrestling fans may drink freely, and from which smarks shall be grabbed and drowned.
Falco Rex
OK, first a warning. If anybody hasn't watched Smackdown yet, please don't read any further....




You back? I can sum up Thursdays show in 3 words..Lame,Lame,Lame...I've always hated it when they involve a Wrestlers family in a storyline to try to get heat( Al Wilson, anyone?). Maybe they're just trying make Bradshaw out to be bad enough to qualify as a Monster Heel; but they didn't need to stage a heart attack; he was doing OK with the Racial slurs...
Once they pulled Eddie from the Main Event I lost all interest in it. Anything that involves both Dudleys and RVD just turns into grey noise for me. Paul Heyman was right about one thing; they've all turned into jokes since they left ECW..Seraphina, I hope to God you're right about ECW starting up again, I miss it like you wouldn't believe. The Mid-card matches were OK, and I like how the Cena- DuPris(sp?) fued is going so it wasn't a total loss, but since Dudley Boy matches don't hold my attention anymore I went over to my neighbors for a beer before the Main Event started. Now I'll bet someones' going to tell me I just missed the match of the decade.... tongue.gif

I'd heard about this in advance, and I know...it's stupid.

The basic idea is, since they started pushing Bradshaw, ratings for Smackdown have been getting lower and lower (this is actually true, I'm not just being sarcastic), and they're predicting a huge loss at the PPV. I think it's finally dawned on them that pushing Bradshaw was the worst idea since they had Triple H simulate sex with a maniquin.

This, I believe, was a last ditch effort to make the fans actually care enough to want to see Eddie destroy him. Unfortunately, it was in such poor taste, nobody cares....I'm still pissed off at the utter bastardisation of the great wrestling tradition in Mexico, when Bradshaw squashed their "champion" (probably the champion of one very tiny, insignificant fed....otherwise he would have told the WWE to get stuffed, and rightly so) for the sake of cheap heat.

The current number one contender is an absolute joke - the pay per veiw is going to have horrible buy rate, and I can only hope that'll be enough to wake up the WWE disgust.gif They'd just started to go in the right direction too before Bradshaw came along....I guess Vince just decided to wake up stupid one day.
Seraphina
On a side note, El Satno would destroy Bradshaw.

here is an article on Goldberg and Mick Foley

Triple Crown Champ Toshiaki Kawada was very angry yesterday when he heard that Bill Goldberg pulled out of his match against Kawada on HUSTLE-3 at Yokohama Arena on 5/8 and Kawada basically called Goldberg a coward for doing that. Kawada said that he will be working the match injured, so why couldn’t Goldberg, but Kawada said that he thought that Goldberg was actually a man, which he doesn’t really believe anymore. Kawada then basically buried his new opponent Mick Foley by saying that only fans of hardcore wrestling in Japan know who he is and he isn’t worthy of a shot at the Triple Crown. Kawada said that Takada Monster Army Generalissimo Nobuhiko Takada should come out and apologize to the fans before the HUSTLE-3 show for Goldberg not being there and for having Foley being a substitute.

In today's news, a press conference and official signing of the Toshiaki Kawada vs. Mick Foley match for the upcoming HUSTLE-3 show was held this morning. At the signing, Mick Foley stated that he would be bringing his barbed wire bat along with him (he also had it with him at the press conference), and he wants to destroy Kawada's body with it. Foley also said that if any young wrestler or second (most Japanese wrestlers have younger guys or "seconds" come down to accompany them to the ring during the match) got in his way, he would assault them with the barbed wire bat.

Here is another article on the same subject as the other one...

It has been officially announced as of this morning that Bill Goldberg has pulled out of the 5/8 HUSTLE-3 show where he was scheduled to challenge Toshiaki Kawada for the Triple Crown. As of right now details are scarce, but the word going around is that Goldberg sustained some sort of injury, which is the reason why he is off the show.

In what is considered pretty big news, Mick Foley will be taking Goldberg's spot on the show. This will mark Foley's first match in Japan since he worked for the IWA promotion back in 1996. Foley has already arrived in Japan and is currently preparing for his match.

It is believed that Foley is not currently under a WWE contract, which is why he was able to work the show, and essentially work as a free agent, and it is very possible that Foley could sign a contract with Dream Stage Entertainment to be a full-time participant in the HUSTLE series. If any more information regarding this story makes its rounds, I will post the details.

Dream Stage had been in talks with Kevin Nash and Scott Hall, as well as Steve Austin, and it was announced that the Outsiders would be reuniting on the show, as Kevin Nash and Scott Hall were revealed as Shinya Hashimoto and Naoya Ogawa's mystery opponents.

The lineup for the show is as follows:

- Naoya Ogawa & Shinya Hashimoto vs. Kevin Nash & Scott Hall
- All Japan Triple Crown champion Toshiaki Kawada vs. Mick Foley
- Shinjiro Ohtani & TBA vs. Mark Coleman & Giant Silva
- Masato Tanaka & Tetsuhiro Kuroda vs. Kintaro Kanemura & Sabu
- Riki Choshu vs. TBA
- Dusty Rhodes vs. Steve Corino
- Zebraman vs. TBA
- Kaz Hayashi & Spanky vs. Low Ki & TAKA Michinoku
- Oscar Sevilla & Cynthia Moreno & Pimpinella & Mascarita Sagrada vs. Gran Apache & Tiffany & Polvo de Estrellas & Mini Abismo

Ah, Bill Goldberg..Winning friends and influencing people wherever he goes. rolleyes.gif
Seraphina
As I'm sure is pretty obvious, even without my undying hatred of Goldberg, I'm very happy to see Foley get this match. It's difficult to think of anyone else who's given as much of their life, and sacrificed as much, to the wrestling industry as Mick Foley, and he deserves a chance for the most prestigious title in the Japan.

Goldberg deserves early retirment tongue.gif

Anyway...saw RAW last night...Shawn Michaels vs Benoit was every bit the five star match I thought it was gonna be grin2.gif I do think Michaels hogged most of the spots though...bit I could just be biased for Benoit tongue.gif Hell of an outing for both guys though.
saucy
yeah, it was a good match. I can't wait to see Jericho and Christian, though
Seraphina
That's going to be a show stealer, no doubt about it...I've also heard that the winner is going to head into a title hunt. It would be a very nice breath of fresh air to see one of those two in the main event scene, instead of the rather stale week-in-week-out Triple H and Shawn Michaels routines.
saucy
I would like to see Jericho go for the title, not Christian, but Jericho in the title hunt just might either throw him or Benoit into the heel category
Seraphina
That's what I'm worried about too...and, although I feel Benoit works much better as a heel, I'd rather see him have the crowd support to validate his title run in the yes of Vinnie Mac nad Jim Ross, the hell known "hoss pushers".

I'm expecting Christian to go over Jericho, and get pushed to the main event; they've spent so long pushing him and building him up, it wouldn't make any sense to drop it now. As much as I like the idea of Christian vs Benoit, it does sadden me that Jericho is probably going to remain on the midcard for months yet, fueding with this new, uber-generic big guy disgust.gif

I'm expecting the next ppv to have:

Chris Jericho vs Tyson Genericho tongue.gif
saucy
I think you're right. Tyson is the same exact as Batista so he should be on Smackdown because Raw already has a Batista. I think Jericho should win the title because he's a better superstar all around than Benoit, better on the mike, dresses better, has better music, has more enthusiasm, charisma, looks better and has a sense of humor. I believe they tried to push Eddie Guerrero a while ago when they had the small fued between Austin and Eddie before Austin disappeared for awhile, then after that, he did the tag team thing for awhile and now he's back for awhile.
AtticusBlueprint
If anyone saw the last smackdownand see the new submission Undertaker did, was that the Butterfly Lock
Seraphina
QUOTE
was that the Butterfly Lock


Yes, although butterly locks usually incorporate a roll before they're wrenched in. Either way, been a looooong time since I saw that move tongue.gif

Just finished watching Smackdown actually (we don't get it in the UK until today)...wasn't that bad. I'm REALLY liking the program between Cena and Rene Dupree. It's good to see that the WWE is actually pushing a midcarder (that being Dupree) up the card that's actually talented, charismatic, and getting over with the fans tongue.gif

That beating he gave Cena was real old school cool.gif I liked

Then enter his polar opposite, Bradshaw, and the good mood ends. Was he even awake during his promo? huh.gif

Main event was very good though...I still think Rey's a spot monkey, but he was on his A-game tonight, so no harm done thumbsup.gif Good match...

However, I was confused for a moment, as in the middle of watching my wrestling, I suddenly thought I was watching sunset beach huh.gif How far into the realm of soap opera digest are they going to delve as far as this Booker T/Taker thing is going? Those segments were just bad....bad bad bad...proven fact: people only care about fueds if they're believable. Cheap special effects, bad actors, and soap opera like scenes just remind people it's a work.

As much as I like Booker T, those scenes really screwed up what was (Bradshaw excepted) a rather good episode.
AtticusBlueprint
Ya, but who's hand was that when it came out of the grave, I think it might have been Mordecais(don't know if I spelled that right)
Seraphina
Yes, I agree....I also officially don't care tongue.gif I'm not the slightest bit enamoured with the Undertaker, and I doubt I'm going to be with Mordeki either...by all accounts, he's another "hoss" - a huge, menacing guy, with 0% wrestling ability.

"Oh...I can not wait to see that" disgust.gif

I still maintain, Judgement Day is going to have terrible buy rates....I can't actually think of a single match on the card that people are likely to pay to see. While Eddie, Taker and John Cena are likely to draw attention, every single outcome is predictable.


Let's see now...

Taker vs Booker T - Who's kidding who? Taker is going to squash Booker T without even slowing down. The character is, by its very nature, a no selling ass. It's also going to set him up for his fued with Mordeki.

Cena vs Rene - I'm expecting Rene to pick up the title here. They've built him up a great deal, and he's actually getting over because of it. Having him get built up so well, only for it to fall flat on its face, wouldn't make any sense.

Eddie vs Bradshaw - the opposite is true here. Bradshaw's push hasn't worked, he's hardly any more over than he was when it began, and it's painfully obvious the WWE are desperately trying to make people give a damn about him. Eddie's going to carry Bradshaw, beat him, and then Bradshaw is going to go back to the undercard where be belongs. If Bradshaw wins the title, I'll lose what little faith I have in the WWE left.


um..what other matches are there?

saucy
I believe you're right about Bradshaw/Eddie, except that Bradshaw won't fall to the undercard. His current personality won't let him, unless he finds someone else to fight, like if Faarooq comes back and actually prevents Bradshaw from winning and they get into it. As much as I love Undertaker, I don't want to see another fued between the two. The first one was boring. I would like to see a fued between this Mordeki and Taker, as long as Mordeki doesn't try to outpower him. I can't be him though because there were promos of Mordeki before he came out of the grave. I don't know though.
Seraphina

They have a character rising from the dead, and you're worried that their chronology doesn't make sense? tongue.gif I think the WWE has already thrown common sense and good plot development out of the window laugh.gif

Booker T and Taker-I predict that Mordeki is gonna help Booker win which sets up a feud between Mordeki and Taker, and Booker T will move on too John Cena or Eddie
Seraphina
Okay peeps, I know I haven't given any real commentary on my training sessions since the first one, but today was interesting, so I have to share tongue.gif

Warm up today was absolutely brutal...different guy from usual, and he should have had german subtitles, and a whip. The opening was fifty push ups blink.gif After that, ANYTHING is hard.

Conclusion to the warm up was the huge breakfast I had used to energise myself for the session, was quickly reunited with me, and the toilet bowl. But, that aside, the wrestling itself was pretty good....

We did bumps today...lots and lots of bumps. Back bumps, flip bumps, front bumps, the usual stuff. I'm becoming pretty good at them, so no problem there...we did a repeat of clothelines too, and some nice shoulder tackles grin2.gif Everyone thinks my attacks are stiff, because I'm the only one who bothers to make any noise when I do them (usually a "raaaah!")...how can I be stiff!? I'm a tiny little woman! wacko.gif

The new thing we did learn, however, were planchas (oh me, oh my). They had the ring up today for the first time, and we spent a great deal of time throwing ourselves over the top rope....then some fat guy broke the ring, and we had to spend the next our fixing it disgust.gif I wasn't bad at planchas as it happened...hurt like hell the first try, but after you learn the way to land, it's not so bad. Normally, of course, you'd have a person to break your fall rather than a crash mat.

Another section of chain wrestling was to follow...in which I was paired with the most hopeless rookie in the school crying.gif He blew every single spot I tried to give him, and just looked about cluelessly at Jake (our teacher this week), as if expecting approval for standing around doing nothing.

I spent a lot of time looking at Jake too mind - he was very pretty wub.gif

In the end, the only move he did at all was a hammerlock...over...and over...and over...and over...until, at the three minute mark, I snap suplexed him, and rolled into a front choke, from which he tapped (we'd been told in advance to bring it home in three, with me going over).

Absolutely dire performance, and I wasn't happy with it....I'm not very good or experienced either, but at least I'm not that clueless...

Anyway, after everyone had their shot, it was time for the interesting part....we had a battle royal, with everyone involved devil.gif I ended up being the first eliminated though....I was running around delivering forearms and inverted elbows, until I ran into one of the guys who actually works for SCW for a living. He was in uber-heel mode, and forced me into the corner for a beat down.

After several knees to the face, he hit me with a dropkick to the head (which I sold with some dazed, blinking around like I was high, groggyness), before I staggered to me feet, and was tossed over the top rope tongue.gif Took the fall a bit higher than everyone else...they all just "rolled" out of the ring, I flipped right over the top rope, yay me grin2.gif

Rest of the match was pretty good, and we all ended up marking out for Stevie, the only person in the match who seemed to be working face, who eventually was the last guy to be eliminated. Fun way to round up.

I'm not as beat up as I've been lately...which is surprising given the insane number of bumps. The aftermath is getting less and less painful as time goes on, and I think I'm getting the hang of it cool.gif

I also have begun to amass my legion of fans, starting with a bunch of kids who stopped to watch, and marked out for me like nobody's business tongue.gif My first fans! WoOoOo!

I do need to put some ice on my elbow though, as I botched my first front bump. So I'll wrap this up, and go do so. Muhahahahaha...
AtticusBlueprint
Sounds pretty cool, the only hesitation I'd have about doing something like that(besides the money,I'm still trying to find a job)was if I injured someone, I mean I know stuff happens and your taking a risk doing it but still I'd feel really really bad if I broke someones arm,leg, or even neck, I'd probly be calling them everyday telling them how sorry I am
Falco Rex
I'm just glad to see an increase in the number of places you can go to get training if you want to be a wrestler..I pretty much wrecked my back for life in a backyard wrestling league.

What are you, Bradshaw? tongue.gif I wouldn't worry about it...certainly in the early going, where all they really teach you is bumps, clotheslines, and some chain wrestling. The only way you could possibly hurt someone under those circumstances if you not only clotheslined them across the throat (ala Bradshaw) but they bumped too late.

It's very difficult indeed to injure someone in the early stage, and until you've perfected your moves, you'll be doing them on very soft crash mats wink2.gif It's worth going, at least to find out if you've got any knack for it. If you think things start getting a bit rough, then you can drop out later.

Prices don't seem to be that high either...I'm paying £10 a week (or in this case, not at all, as Jake thought I was hot, and wouldn't take my money blink.gif which hot me a lot of heat from the guys tongue.gif), and you can probably find a similar price over there too...in any event, don't let the thought of hurting someone hold you back, it's pretty hard to do unless you either majorly botch up, or were doing something uber-stupid....look at me, took five knees, and a dropkick to the face, and not a mark wink2.gif

I was part of a backyard gig for awhile, but it wasn't like what you might think. I didn't join any school or anything, but we wrestled on a trampoline, which was fun. We did some weird crap, yeah, but I had fun anyway. I was the biggest guy so I won a lot of matches because I was their newest phenomenon. We were doing a royal rumble type thing and someone dropped-kicked me and I sold the move so I fell, but ended up falling on someone's leg and broke it. Let's say they fired me afterwards, being that I weighed a lot and they thought it be best I didn't be with them anymore. Down the road, they literally had a competition ring and I joined them, which was weird because they sucked. I knew they didn't do much, but I still joined. I started my first match holding onto a title they wanted introduced, but the owners of the wrestling place screwed me over, almost like Bret Hart. They wanted me to win the match, they said, but as I was going down the ramp, they had an old tag team reunite and jump me from behind and they had me in a move like the crossface. I didn't tap out, but the owner came out and deemed me the looser by tap out. I stayed on after that, but I was supposed to interupt the title match and when I did, the other wrestlers got involved because they didn't want me to do what the owner wanted me to do. There was so much unorganization there that I walked out and went back to the old wrestling place, but only as a viewer before moving. It was fun and I would love to join a backyard wrestling group again as long as there was organization. I would perfer a trampoline again rather than old mattresses, but hey, wrestling is wrestling

I like tables and chairs...even used a cool ladder...and a totally awsome Elbow out of a tree...I will admit that it was a bit of a spotfest...but I had fun...

Well...at least you DO actually have wrestling training. You can probably provide a slightly safer environment. Without doubt, my biggest beef with backyard wrestling stems from the fact that it's usually a bunch of untrained kids, messing about in their back gardens...a bunch of cripples waiting to happen quite frankly huh.gif

*looks at Saucy's broken leg example*

Wrestling's a work, certainly...but it's still far from fake. If people want to do it, then they should at least get some knowledge as to what they're actually doing. If professionals can suffer injuries in the ring, just imagine what could happen to a bunch of hyper, over excited kids huh.gif

Raw was okay last night. I'd give it a 5 stars out of 10. If you haven't seen Raw, please don't read the spoiler below!

Jericho vs. Christian was an alright match. I'm glad Jericho won so maybe he will get pushed towards a title shot vs. Benoit, but he still has to win the 20 man over the top rope challenge made by Bishoff. I really don't see anyone else in the right position in their story lines to take that spot other than Jericho though. If the WWE has him out there asking for a spot, then that means they'll probably give it to him. I don't know about that Kane, he's just crazy. I missed the Triple H match, but I'm sure he wasn't beaten, if he was I would've heard more about, same with Batista. I'm sure glad Randy Orton beat Edge. It didn't seem like he got the same loud crowd he's had recently. Edge beating Orton would make it almost like back when Triple H and Stone Cold were partners and they had all the titles. *Saucy yawns* Okay, it's five in the morning here and I'm getting tired. I don't remember much else from Raw of any importance, but all the hype of the week was overrated because nothing really happened or was that entertaining, even the steel cage match.

Course he did cool.gif That was a no brainer.

The question, however, is did they let him wrestle, or was he made to screw around in character for the whole match, and try to hug the guy, or offer him a teddy? huh.gif

If you really want to know Seraphina, Eugene whopped butt and showed tremendous skill during the whole match. The only funny thing Eugene did was he thought it was fun to climb the top rope and did it once only to climb back down, then did it again to do a great move. It was an interesting match. Also, Bishoff told Regal that if Eugene lost, Regal would be put back on the active roster and Regal tried to screw Eugene, but it didn't work. Actually, Eugene gives you some hope in the WWE Seraphina! If they would employ a guy who looks like Eugene, why not you? Maybe Roddy Piper will come back and you can be his manager or something! Just kidding, but really Eugene showed some talent

It's pretty obviously then, that you have never SEEN me wink2.gif

In any event, that's one of the things I'm worried about if I ended up in the WWE...1) I HATE Roddy Piper...he was a Canadian, not a Scot, and his accent was less convincing than the Ultimate Warrior's clotheslines. 2) I'd probably be booked as Piper's clean-cut grandaughter, hoping to put right the family reputation by making it in the ring tongue.gif

In which case, I'd tell Vince that his contract would probably taste really nice with lots of vinegar, and recomend he eat it.

the JCW stand for Juggalo Championsh** Wrestling. it's a cheap wreslting association run by the band Insane Clown Posse. those guys wrestled in wwf, wcw, ecw, whole bunch of places. it's funny as hell. they had the iron shiek, king kong bundy, lol, even doink.
JCW
that's there, in case you're curious from my amazing (cough crappy cough) description of it.

lol...you forget, it seems, that I'm a wrestling purist wink2.gif Gimmicky wrestling just...doesn't appeal to me. Even worse, however, is the backyard brand of "garbage" wrestling, which usually consists of a pair of teenagers blasting each other with various weapons, and demonstrating little or no actual wrestling ability.

I find that people who gear themselves around the hardcore product (Raven for example) are usually doing so to cover up a complete lack of actual technique in the ring. One of the reasons I'd rather see a single match between Chris Benoit and Kurt Angle, than I would the entire collection of CZW matches on file tongue.gif

ECW pulled it off by having Paul Heyman as booker...he used the hardcore product to draw in the fans, but the theme was still wrestling. The matches weren't geared to the point that everything revolved around high spot after high spot....most hardcore feds just don't understand this concept (but then again, Paul's a genius).
