This thread is for people who are fans of pro wrestling organizations to discuss the current storylines, free agents, quality of matches, nostalgic posts about the old WWF, ECW, or WCW - or to book their own fantasy wrestling cards.

This thread is not for marks, but rather smart fans who realize that pro wrestling is a choreographed entertainment event with people under contract with the organizations for writing storylines.

This thread is not for people who wish to point out that wrestling is "stupid because it's fake" or "not a real sport" or "for nerds", etc.

From what i just read time is already up for the new ECW

MAJOR Shakeup In ECW: Heyman No Longer Booking

source: PWDB.com

Dave Sherer has reported that a meeting took place before Tuesday's edition of ECW on the Sci-Fi Channel between Vince McMahon, Kevin Dunn and Paul Heyman. Citing disappointment with the reaction at ECW Arena in which fans chanted "This show sucks", low ticket sales (particularly for the July 4'th show in Philadelphia) and a 15% drop off in ratings from week one to week two, Vince McMahon made the decision to put an end to the "ECW Style", including a break from all old ECW characters to be re-written and re-cast in the WWE style. The idea is to turn ECW into a third brand of WWE, with a roster and storylines more in line with that of Raw and Smackdown.

Paul Heyman's control of the ECW brand has been reduced to the capacity of "advisor", while Tommy Dreamer has been completely removed from the creative process, and will act only as an on-air character. Heyman had written a script for last night's show, but it was all but thrown out when Vince McMahon disapproved of it's content and had the WWE creative team re-write the show from the ground up. Paul Heyman was also relieved of his backstage duties, as WWE brass took over and ran the show as they ran Smackdown later that night.

It is expected that the staff of ECW referees will be given their release as the company moves away from the ECW image and incorporates the brand into the WWE fold. ECW ring announcer Stephen D'angelous has already been terminated by Vince McMahon.

Mike Johnson adds in his report that beginning with last night's broadcast, the ECW roster will not be flown in for television tapings, but instead will only call for the appearance of those scheduled to work that particular show.

The general opinion backstage is that when ECW finishes it's 12 week scheduled run on the Sci-Fi channel, it may be reduced to an internet program for WWE.com, or done away with altogether.

I like that they put the belt on Edge. I'm calling an Edge-John Cena main event at Summerslam.

I watched wrestling from the early 70's to the early/mid 90's.

Haven't watched since then.

But thinking back, Does anyone else remember when Vince McMahon was a wrestling stiff? For anyone who has watched wrestling for any length of time, you know that there are 3 main kind of matches. stiff vs. stiff (worst kind) start vs. stiff (pretty lame) star vs. star (by far the best) of course there are tag team, royal rumbles etc., but those are the main 3. Anyway, Vince used to be one of the guys who would regular lose to the stars. I had no idea he was even one of the big shots until years later.

Anyone else remember back in the mid 80's when Gorilla Monsoon and Jesse the body Ventura were the commentators for WWF wrestling? That had to be one of the Hieghts of the "sport".

How about back when Andy Kaufman used to wrestle women and then his feud with The King Jerry Lawler. That shit was hilarious.

WWE responds to charges against RVD and Sabu
By Ed Williams III
July 5, 2006

World Wrestling Entertainment earlier this week announced it was investigating five violations, including drug possession, levied against Rob Van Dam and Sabu by the Ohio State Highway Patrol. WWE announced today that based on information gathered over the past few days, Van Dam has been suspended without pay for 30 days and Sabu has been fined $1000. These actions are consistent with the Wellness Policy at WWE.

According to the Ironton Tribune, Rob Van Dam and Sabu were pulled over on U.S. 52, near Patrick Street in Hanging Rock, Ohio at about 10:15 p.m. Sunday night. The two were apparently driving from their performances at the Big Sandy Superstore Arena earlier in the evening.

According to the Ohio State Police, as reported by the Ironton Tribune, Van Dam was initially stopped for speeding. When troopers approached his vehicle, they smelled marijuana and performed a search. Troopers found RVD in possession of 18 grams of marijuana and five Vicodin, prescription pain pills. Sabu was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia and also had nine pills that were not immediately identifiable, but were known to be controlled substances, according to the OSHP. Both were cited and posted bond at the scene.

So a WWE guy is the new ECW champ, via a recycled WWF storyline where the owner screws over the wrestler a la McMahon and Austin...

oh, and 2 squash matches, a shitty Kelly skit, a shittier Sandman bit, and a main event broken up by 2 commercials.

I liked wrestling in the 90's. When as well as Hulk Hogan and The Ultimate Warrior, we had some seriously crazy characters.

I don't like anymore as they are trying to make it more realistic. My favourite wrestler of all-time is Doink the Clown. He used to scare the shit out of me.

From about 1984-1994 were good years.

The mid to late 70's were funny too. All the fake blood they used to use in the NWA was hilarious.

Wow - I couldn't disagree with you more. "Getting over the new ECW" is a misconception on Vince's part. If he let Paul run the show and he just cut the checks and kept his storywriters off the product, the federation would be successful - and he would have two distinct brands - the "sports entertainment" brand - and the "hardcore wrestling" brand.

The only "new" ECW guys should come from TNA's X-Division as they become available, Ring of Honor, CZW, or - since there is a shortage of heels and because Paul is familiar with their roster, OVW. Big Show is not ECW. Kane wouldn't be either. Cena isn't for sure. Or Edge. Or ORton. Or, even though he's my favorite wrestler, Kurt Angle - his crossover was the smallest stretch - but being the only "mat wrestler" in the fed could only last so long anyway, and now he's injured....

Shawn Michaels' frustration with the DeGeneration X angle is ever-increasing reports the Pro Wrestling Torch Newsletter.

HBK does not want to be viewed as "difficult" by his peers, and he's refrained from making any major complaints about the storyline. As seen on RAW, when the storyline calls for something against his religious beliefs, he comedically withdraws himself from the situation.

Shawn Michaels will take a hiatus to undergo knee surgery after DX's stint comes to an end. Upon returning, he will work a limited, three weeks per month schedule.wrestlingnews.com

I really dont like the ECW idea. Its just a way for WWE to put more of their superstars to use. They have way too many established stars right now to fit in raw and smackdown. I rather just see then give some people up to TNA. The whole "extreme" thing isnt going to work in todays wrestling world. Honestly what suprises any of you in wrestling anymore? Extreme matches to me are annoying after a while. Right now ECW is just raw with bad lighting.
ECW was more than barbed wire, ladders, tables, and chairs anyway, but I understand what you're saying - ECW on Sci-Fi is like the old Sunday Night Heat before they went to WWF New York and then made it more or less a highlight show.

I've only seen two non-PPV matches that were worth watching since the new show came out - Sabu vs. Mamaluke and Sabu vs. Roadkill.

They've got 60 min. - they should have 3 WRESTLING matches.

Of course 3 Wrestling matches would be more than Raw and Smackdown combined too.

Squashes, run-ins, skits, all the swimsuit/striptease bullshit - it's why I quit watching wrestling. I keep hoping a gem will slip through in the new ECW - One Night Stand II had some good matches - Misterio vs. Sabu, Funk & Dreamer vs. Foley & Edge - even RVD vs. Cena until the end... All doesn't have to be lost, but Paul needs to be able to book the shows and let in-ring stuff happen that isn't just squash matches

I dont really like how the WWE divided Raw and Smackdown into two completely different promotions. If I were in charge, I would use Smackdown as a developmental show for Raw. I'd give Smackdown the tag team champions, the US champion and the Cruiserweight champion. I'd put all of my big guys on Raw, and use Smackdown as a place where I tested out some guys with potential.

I just think guys like the Undertaker, Chris Benoit and King Booker should be on the big stage of Raw. The Undertaker should be fueding with guys like Edge, Cena and Triple H.
The WWE roster now is as big as all 3 big feds in the late 1990s. Separating the shows allowed more guys to get TV time, plus it doubles the tour money because they can be performing in two different large arenas at a time - and the entire roster isn't travelling from city to city with only a few guys getting TV time on both shows. They switch up the rosters from time to time

If that was the one where Rico came out in a thong then yes I agree. On a side note Raw started out with a good opening match and a suprisingly decent match between Trish and Marlena then it went down hill. After a classic promo from Mick Foley they basically just put it to waste by ending his fued with Ric Flair. Why bring Eugene into the picture? Why build the whole show up for D-X and have them show up for 2 minutes at the end? Was Armando Alejandro Estrada even on? If so I missed him, that would have atleast made things a little better.

Hey I appreciate the matches man. I get restless looking through all the skits, tribute films, etc. trying to find actual matches.

Yeah the ECW right now is a joke. I thought after RVD lost the WWE title it would be different, but I was wong. On top of that, I hate Ric Flair so much. He has wrestled the same match the last ten years. A shit load of chops, A back body drop bump, getting slammed off the top turn buckle, a knee drop to the face, and a figure four. That about sums up every one of his matches that I have seen since 95.

07-11-2006, 03:03 AM

That japanese match with the tacks, scorpions, etc. was brutal. Ive seen a lot of the cactus jack death matches as well. I dont know how they do it. I step on one tack and it hurts like hell , and they are taking suplexes and scoop slams on them :eek:. Im watching the sabu ladder match now, should be good.

Well, the good news is that last night's ECW show was the best of the new Sci-fi series so far. The bad news is it was still a C+ show at best.

What was good: promos for existing, future ECW wrestlers mixed in
a possible end to the Kelly Expose storyline if the writers so choose (I'm not holding my breath)
3 actual matches last night

What was bad: Kelly's Expose taking so long to pay off (please tell me they're going to let Sandman work a program with Mike Knox rather than just becoming the weekly cane swinger...)
Having distinct 'ECW Rules' matches. How can Sabu get DQ'd in ECW?
Having two WCW wrestlers in the main event going for the ECW belt
The WWE fans chanting 'What?' like it's five years ago...

Another thing that bothers me is that it looks like ECW is being used to plug the other WWE shows more than a stand-alone brand should have to. Flair's match was a good set-up for a PPV match with Foley; Sabu's short little match gave them just enough time to hype Saturday's Main Event where 'Sabu takes Saturday night to the extreme'...blah blah blah

Come on guys, give the ECW fans a real show...

I've read about the Mass Transit bit before in the ECW book I recently read, Hardcore History, and I remember hearing something about it around when it happened but that was a real grim situation to have happen, especially reading about his father getting upset not knowing what was going on.

I saw the clip years back. It was very dumb for the kid to think he could just go in there with no experience what so ever. I know what happend to him was just wrong, however by putting himself in that situation he should have known better. New Jack is one messed up individual. I never really knew if he was just selling his character or if he was really like that in real life. hes always freaked me out in a way, especially after hearing abotu that incident.

Is this about that kid who was murderd during a wrestling match ? :confused:
No - haven't heard about any wrestling in-ring murders...

http://the-w.com/thread.php/id=7758

22 year old Erich Kulas passed away in his Craston, Rhode Island home last Tuesday. New wrestling fans may look at that, and shrug. At 22 years old he couldn't possibly have had anything to do with professional wrestling. But he did, and his short stint as a professional wrestler changed the scope of the sport forever.

November 23, 1996 in Revere, Massachusetts, ECW was running a house show. It had been promoted that ECW tag-team champions The Gangstas were to face D-Von Dudley and Axl Rotten. Unfortunately for ECW owner Paul Heyman, Rotten no showed the event, and he was left in a jam.

Meanwhile, a 17 year old kid by the name of Erich Kulas had dreams of being a star. Tipping the scales at 400 pounds, Kulas either had little, or no training to be a professional wrestler to that point - though he had watched it on television, so figured he could work a match with no problems.

Kulas with his father arrived to the ECW arena with a couple of midget wrestlers, and somehow worked their way backstage. Dressed in a bus driver's outfit, Kulas introduced himself to Paul Heyman, and offered his services as a professional wrestler. A piece of fake ID was enough proof that he was of age to be wrestling, and his story of being trained by Killer Kowalski was enough to sell Paul Heyman, who was in a bind. From this overweight kid in a bus driver's outfit, Heyman saw a man called Mass Transit, who would be a law enforcer type. It was perfect, since the current tag-team champions whole gimmick was telling authority to **** off.

Kulas discussed the match with Mustafa and New Jack, and confided in the both of them that he had no idea how to properly do a blade job, so bleeding was out of the question. New Jack told Kulas he could do it for him - and Kulas agreed.

So it came time for the match to begin, and New Jack had other plans. A hardcore match with all the typical weapons began, and took place. Finally, it came time for the blade job, and all hell broke loose.

New Jack produced a knife from his pocket, and drove a deep gash into Kulas' forehead. Immediately the 17 year old screamed out in pain - and it was clear something was wrong. New Jack had cut right through the muscle on the boy's forehead, and blood was literally squirting from his head all over the mat. New Jack began to smile, and continued to work over the kid - refusing to stop the match there.

From the front row, Kulas' father began screaming for mercy on his son. "He's only 17 years old!" were words that could be heard all the way to the ring. If the cut wasn't bad enough, it was abundantly clear by this point that the kid had no reason to be in the ring.

New Jack, a man with 4 justifiable homicides under his belt, finally finished the kid off with a top rope dive, culminating in a chair being driven into the head of Kulas. It was at this point the EMT's came to Kulas' rescue and spent over 10 minutes trying to stop the bleeding, which was squirting from open veins in his forehead. The ever concerned ECW crowd simply chanted "you fat ****" while Kulas was being treated.

Kulas survived, but received 50 stitches in his forehead. Meanwhile, nobody in the ECW locker room appeared to be the least bit concerned. The show continued, as if nothing had happened.

New Jack was questioned about the event afterwards, and he responded with the fact he didn't care if the kid was dead or alive. Paul Heyman simply passed off the event as another day in ECW. But it was abundantly clear to those who saw the tape that this was more than an Extreme act from a wrestling federation. This was assault with a deadly weapon, and it can be argued if there was an intent to kill as well.

The pay-per-view networks got wind of the event, and many backed off of ECW - not wanting to be part of any federation that could allow an underage kid to be butchered without any regard for his safety. They did manage to go through with their first pay-per-view, though several companies didn't pick it up based on this one event.

And Kulas? He didn't get a single phone call from ECW, or anyone on their roster to check up on his condition. The assault, coupled with the mental stress he was feeling was more than enough to take ECW to court.

Erich Kulas never got a dime from ECW. He changed the story of the events that transpired, and couldn't keep it straight. Kulas may have been able to walk off with a sizable chunk of money due to the events of that night. However Kulas, for whatever reason, was caught in a series of lies on the stand, and wound up losing anything that was coming his way.

ECW wound up receiving plenty of negative press, and wasn't able to go national until late 1999 - at which point the company was more or less dead in the water anyway. The incident with Kulas may or may not have kept them from getting a television deal until then. The first ECW pay-per-view was not carried in Canada, and they weren't picked up for a long time.

Erich Kulas is a name that will not go down in wrestling history - though in his one night was able to receive more press, and alter the face of the sport more than most trained athletes ever will.

07-18-2006, 01:22 PM

After reading about New Jack on a couple of sites I am now convinced this guy is crazy, maybe crazier than Mike Tyson. The fact that he stabbed a man nine times in a match, just because the guy said he wanted to bleed is unbelievable. Even if someone pleads with you to make him bleed in the ring, you have to be one sick person to actually go through with it. He claims to stun gun Vic Grimes with a real gun eventhough it was "off script." He also said he threw him as hard as he could off of a scaffold so he could miss the twelve tables placed below and fall to the concrete floor, so he could die. Theres plenty of video footage on youtube.com if anyone is curious. Theres even a video of him showing the "stabbing incident" and laughing about it in the process.

The Professor's Position - The Death of Sports Entertainment
Report by Professor Newton Gimmick on 07/24/2006 at 12:46 AM

Welcome to a very special edition of The Professor's Position. This won't be under our new format. If you're looking for that format, check out my last column which can be read by clicking here!

Why am I putting this little piece together? Well it's something that needs to be said. It HAS been said before, but I think it's often considered a joke. So now I call upon any and all wrestling fans to come together to battle our greatest enemy yet. Vince McMahon.

The Professor's Position On: Vince McMahon

For all his faults, many of us wrestling fans must thank Vince. Vince McMahon gave us plenty of great ideas. He took Wrestlemania to heights that most promoters never dreamed it would be. He gave us Hulk Hogan (Although Hogan actually was as popular in AWA), he gave us the Undertaker (And with it some of the worst stories in the history of wrestling), and he pioneered concepts like the Royal Rumble and Survivor Series. Vince for good or bad, DID do a lot for Pro-Wrestling. I won't take that away from him. Although in the process he killed off the entire territory system, Vince did something that in all reality someone else would have likely eventually done. I suspect Vince did as good of a job as anyone else would have. Maybe if Verne Gagne had been put in Vince's shoes, perhaps he would have failed. Maybe Ted Turner's WCW would have turned out much like the WWE, but still went out of business due to AOL/Time Warner. So I don't blame Vince for any of his past sins. You've been abolished of those crimes Mr. McMahon. Now though, I pose a new question... What have you done for me lately?

Vince McMahon wants to kill Pro-Wrestling. He always has, but now he has the power to do it. WCW has folded. ECW has folded. Wrestling itself is more or less dead. Ask people to name something about wrestling. They'll probably say "WWF". Vince has taken wrestling and molded it into his baby. Now he wants to continue to mold it til it's no longer WRESTLING, at all.

First he changed the name of his wrestlers to superstars. This seems like a good idea. It made them seem big. Yet in the past 5-10 years he's changed their names to "Sports Entertainers". The word wrestling is almost never used on WWE TV. Sports Entertainment itself isn't a bad word to describe wrestling, but when it takes the place of wrestling, you have a problem. Imagine watching a football game and they referred to is not as football, but NFL. We all know that the NFL isn't the only brand of football on the market. Yet WWE wants us to believe that only the WWE exists, and wrestling isn't wrestling at all, but Sports Entertainment.

Think I'm looking too much into this? Look at ECW. They aren't "wrestlers", they are "rebels". Think that's just a coincidence? ECW went through FOUR names before settling on rebels. At first it was ECW wrestlers, then quickly changed to extremists, and then several other things before finally settling on rebels. You see, ECW can't be wrestlers. Because ECW isn't a brand of wrestling, it's a brand of Sports Entertainment. Catching a theme yet?

So okay, Vince seeks to change the name of wrestling. No reason to hate him. So what else has he done?

The Kiss My Ass Club? Main events have been reduced to who will kiss Vince's ass. Can you imagine this passing in 1985? The main event of a Saturday Night's Main Event (Hogan versus Andre? NO! It's Andre kissing Vince's ass!), or a NWA Saturday Night being someone kissing another man's ass? Yet this has been the main event of RAW more then once. No one seems to notice, because Vince has slowly spoon fed us this crap until we believe that's what happens on a wrestling... Err, Sports Entertainment show. That's main event worthy now.

Remember Kane's See No Evil movie? Suddenly on TV Kane tried to rip people's eye out. For reasons unknown, we could hear KANE'S THOUGHTS! Thankfully the fans shit on this angle so bad that WWE was forced to come up with a solution. Sadly the solution ended up being a duplicate Kane, with little to no back story. Still that was better then hearing Kane's thoughts, and Kane being a real killer like in the movie. However, over time this will become acceptable. Sooner then later it will fly. Just like the Kiss My Ass Club.

The WWE magazine now focuses entirely on things that DON'T deal with wrestling. I just read the latest WWE magazine. There are a handful of mentions of wrestling. The rest of the magazine is movie reviews, tips for picking up chicks, video game news and all the other crap that's in every other magazine out there. It's not a wrestling magazine. It's Maxim with wrestlers. They even have the nerve to show pictures of Kenta Kobashi and Mistico from CMLL & NOAH, and MAKE FUN OF THEM! They poke fun of REAL wrestlers, and then follow it up with a column about Bobby Lashley's workout routine. (See Also Barry Bonds Flax Seed Oil.)

If Vince could stop all wrestling on his show today, he would. Wrestling is just a backseat for his freak/variety show. Unfortunately, fans don't tune in to see his crap. They tune in to see wrestling, so he has to keep the wrestling there. He peppers wrestling in-between his true babies, the skits and stupid angles. Slowly but surely he's squeezed the very life from Pro-Wrestling. In a 2 hour broadcast of RAW, he's able to get away with sometimes as little as 15 minutes of wrestling. When he gets a PRIMETIME, NBC special, he manages to only have 20 minutes of wrestling. Why? Shouldn't he put his best matches on display? Of course he should. But he doesn't care about matches or wrestling. Instead he put his variety acts on display. Thankfully the ratings bombed, but it shows his mentality. Hide the wrestling, shove the crap to the forefront.

So what can we do? How can we stop Vince before it's too late?

We as wrestling fans have to TAKE WRESTLING BACK!

He's pissed on the legacy of WCW. He's given us a new "ECW" that doesn't even have hardcore matches. He's reinvisioned every element of wrestling, and if he continues in 10 years wrestling will be gone.

There is thankfully a kryptonite to this Superman. TNA! How can TNA stop him? The more TNA succeeds on all the right things, the AJ Styles, the Samoa Joes and by God the TAG TEAMS, then the more Vince loses his power. Show people what wrestling really is. It's not guys kissing a grown man's ass, it's guys exchanging wrestling holds, hitting each other with steel chairs, and at the very most shaving one another's head after months of feuding. It's not cheerleaders dumping green skime and poop on one another. So it's time we take our product back.

Thank you Vince for the past 20 years. You did a bang-up job. Sure you made some mistakes, but you gave us a lot in return. Still, your time has come and gone. We want our wrestling back. You've squandered our emotions, and we're tired of being forcefed your lousy Sports Entertainment. We want wrestling. We want action. We want it NON-STOP! SO give us ****e TV. Give us Christopher Daniels. Give us Sting. Give us matches that don't involve God as a tag team partner. GIVE US TNA!

If you share the same opinion that I do, you must help me. Go out and fight the cancer that has infected Pro-Wrestling. TNA must exist, or else Vince will win. He's already got a 50 year headstart. Now his true intentions have been revealed, and it's time to revoke him as the King of wrestling.

Thanks for the memories Vince, but we're not going to take it anymore.

Shove a stake through that vampire's heart. Make that stake be TNA, and let him know that you're tired of him sucking the lifeblood away from the sport we love. Send him back to the depths of hell from which he came.

The Wrap Up:

In closing, I hope you enjoyed this little tirade and maybe it will fire up even some of you WWE fans who realize this is not the product you watched 5, 10, 15 years ago. As always you can contact me at ProfNewtonGimmick@yahoo.com. Until then, Professor out!

Great post! I always thought wrestling was better off when Vince had some competition. If he doesn't have an enemy league to compete with, then he doesn't have much motivation to put out a good product and he has been known to slack off and at times (frequently) have a pretty much unwatchable product. The late '90s peak of WWE came about largely in response to WCW's mid '90s success with NWO and later, Goldberg. I remember around 1999 - 2000 when I could actually look forward to Raw and watch it with my friends and be entertained and then a few years later when I would struggle to watch an episode or pick up a book and start reading when it was on.

No chances at what? They've gone 4 years now, have a cable TV deal that is rumored to be expanding to a 2 hour show - they have money to sign guys to 7 digit contracts

I don't think they're going to take over the lead like WCW did, but they definitely have a potential to gain ground - especially when the fans' preferences cycle to wanting to see actual matches on free TV...

As long as TNA doesn't get wasteful with their money like WCW did for most of the time, they can survive in this market. I know people who still watch wrestling and are sick of WWE or at least prefer the option of an alternative so TNA fills that role.

So the new ECW came to an old ECW venue tonight - it didn't sell out but the fans were rabid, chanting "same old shit" and "change the channel"

ECW Fans rule. It's a shame Vince is taking a shit on them...
I watched ECW last night. It was the first time I've had access to cable since the new ECW show came on. It was like ECW-lite. It didn't really hold my interest much. The nod to old ECW was Edge putting Tommy Dreamer in the barbed wire but otherwise not much was there.

The last four ECW main events have been Big Show vs Ric Flair, Show vs Undertaker, Show vs Kane and Show vs Batista. I'm no huge ECW fan, but you have to at least give its wrestlers a chance to get over. I'm guessing Vince/Heyman forsaw the crowd reaction last night and thats why the Sabu angle was introduced.

I think we are going to see Sabu/Show at Summerslam

I was against this whole idea about a new ECW from the start. I knew Vince was going to do this. The WWE roster was getting too big, and theres no way he was going to give up his wrestlers so they could go to TNA, so he made another federation. Hes using ECW.

Vince owns it so unfortunately he can do as he pleases with it but it would have been nice if he could have made it more independent, at least on the surface, and kept the ties with WWE behind the scenes. The way it is now it's just an a third show to go with Smackdown and Raw.

08-07-2006, 06:41 PM

This was in Bill Simmons Page 2 article this week.

Question: Who was the greatest pro wrestler you ever saw and why?
-- D Nice, Bronx, N.Y.

Sports Guy: I have to go with Randy Savage. For 10 reasons ...

1. During his WWF days, his matches were always excellent -- tons of moves, tons of bumps and a consistently high quality. His battle against Ricky Steamboat in Wrestlemania III was the first great modern wrestling match, the prototype for most of the matches today (it still holds up almost 20 years later). He was so good, he could even drag a decent match out of Hulk Hogan.

2. Nobody had a better nickname than "The Macho Man," with the possible exception of the "The Million Dollar Man," Ted DiBiase. Plus, he shrewdly avoided the obvious "Macho Man"/Village People link with his entrance song, which could have killed his career coming out of the gate.

3. Not only were his interviews phenomenally bizarre and entertaining, he was one of the first wrestlers to refer to himself almost entirely in the third person. The Macho Man was like the Rickey Henderson of wrestling, right down to the fact that you never knew what the hell he was talking about. And nobody was more fun to imitate. Ohhhhhhh ... yeah!!!!

4. He was the first mainstream wrestler to travel with a female manager (the gorgeous Miss Elizabeth), which was a godsend for horny wrestling fans in the '80s and eventually opened the door to Missy Hyatt, Sable, Sunny and all the female managers and wrestlers now. Let's face it -- wrestling was like a sausage party from college until Miss Elizabeth showed up. In retrospect, it's hard to believe that nobody thought, "hey, our sport revolves around male wrestlers rolling around in tights in front of a a predominantly male audience ... maybe we should bring some attractive ladies in here to mix it up!"

5. On the Unintentional Comedy Scale, his beard was a solid 8.6, his thinning hair (eventually covered by a bandanna) was a 7.8, his voice was a 9.5, and his interviews were a 9.9. Warrants mentioning.

6. He wasn't opposed to wrestling with his sunglasses on. A lost art, really.

7. He was brothers with Leaping Lanny Poffo, a charter member of the "Fredo Hall of Fame" with Don Swayze, Prince Harry, Ashlee Simpson, Brett Gretzky, Frank Stallone, Jeremy Giambi, the Shula siblings, the Schottenheimer brothers, Eric Roberts, Jimmy Baio, Steve Sanders' half-brothers, Ozzie Canseco, Clint Howard, Eddie Bird and everyone in Snoop Dogg's family.

8. Looking back, his original WWF gimmick was unbelievable -- the Macho Man wasn't just a bad guy, he was also a jealous boyfriend who always threatened to pull a Brett Myers on his girlfriend (Miss Elizabeth) in front of sold-out stadiums. Invariably, she would screw up his match and he would pull her by her hair into the ring, and as everyone was screaming at him not to whack her, one of the good guys would run in and save the day. (Note: He never actually whacked her. Even the WWF didn't cross that line.) I'm not condoning this angle, just pointing out that when you can rally back from being the "mean-spirited boyfriend who might hit his lady at any time" and somehow parlay this into eventually becoming a good guy ... I mean, that's when you KNOW you have talent. Anyway, that was the first and last domestic violence angle in pro wrestling. Thank God.

9. He had one of the first great off-the-rope finishing moves: The flying elbow from the top rope. Doesn't seem like a big deal now ... HUGE deal at the time. Like Doctor J dunking on someone for the first time.

10. Macho Man was a centerpiece of the greatest wrestling angle of the '80s, when he became a good guy and teamed up with Hulk Hogan as the Mega-Powers, then things started falling apart when the Macho Man thought Hulk had eyes for Elizabeth, culminating in the Macho Man refusing to accept Hulk's tag during a Saturday Night Main Event (they ended up losing), followed by a screaming match in the locker room in which Savage yelled things like "You got jealous eyes! Oh, yeah ... you got jealous eyes!" before finally sneak-attacking Hogan as Elizabeth screamed in horror. As far as the defining buddy-turning-on-buddy events of the last 25 years, this was right up there with Crockett shooting Tubbs, The Game calling out 50 Cent, T.O. ripping McNabb, Kobe ratting out Shaq to the Colorado police, Shawn Michaels kicking Marty Jannetty through the window and Brandon sleeping with Dylan's girlfriend. And yes, my buddy Birdman and I reenacted this entire scene at 3 a.m. after about 45 beers apiece, with our pal Nick Aieta playing Miss Elizabeth. Fortunately, no videotape exists.

what may be a first, WWE pulled a major match off a major pay-per-view because one of the wrestlers is considered to be so terrible from an in-ring ability standpoint.

The Great Khali's last man standing match was pulled from SummerSlam and added to this week's edition of SmackDown because the decision was made that the only way the match would air would be if they could edit it before anyone sees it. Khali's house show matches with The Undertaker were considered to be awful and they decided against risking to air it live on pay-per-view. Basically, people with the mindset "the house show matches were so bad, why stink up a good show?" won out against people who wanted it to take place at SummerSlam. Also note, Khali's match with The Undertaker on this week's edition of SmackDown was heavily edited.

The Great Khali's long-term future in WWE is currently in limbo. He may have wrestled his last match in WWE at last Tuesday's SmackDown tapings. Then again, nothing has been said about him getting released. What is known is that his scheduled matches with The Undertaker have been scratched from all immediate house shows after SummerSlam. Internally, the general feeling is that they can still get some use out of him due his size, but they can't risk him doing anything live. Due to that notion, his push may be drawing to a close because blow-off matches typically take place on PPV shows and WWE is too scared to have him wrestle on live television.

08-21-2006, 12:47 AM

I read the results somewhere and it basically shows why I hate wrestling right now. I was interested again for about three weeks and then lost it again. Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan both won. This is 2006 not 1986. It just pisses me off, especially when Ric Flair beat Foley in an I quit match. I hate Ric Flair so much, and have always enjoyed Mick Foley's matches and respected him as a wrestler and they shit on him with this. Hulk Hogan cleanly beat Randy Orton because Hulk Hogan has to cleanly beat everyone. He always gets his way.

Tito Fan 83

08-21-2006, 02:35 PM

Summerslam was actually pretty good aside from Hogan/Orton (which wasnt that bad, but making Orton job to Hogan made no sense at all -- should have just not had the match) and Booker/Batista (Batista is a shitty wrestler and the finish was extremely lame).

The main event was quite good and DX/McMahons put on an entertaining show. Flair/Foley was really good but it wasnt long enough and the ending could have been better although it might have been hard to get a different ending because apparently both of them wanted to lose.

Overall a pretty decent PPV. Better than a lot of the boxing PPVs I've ordered over the past year.

I normally throw them out and not comment nor even care what they send me as wwe is a living hell. but this contract(which i will post at a later time) had a very intresting idea in it,and i thought i would tell the fans the direction vince mcmann is taking ecw.
my contract was to make a apperance at the first ecw/wwe ppv. i was offered $12.000.00 for one apperance in the hammerstien ballroom.(which by far other then the ecw arena has the best fans) so i read this and i considedered this offer.
so i gave johny ace a call disgussed this offer with him,and asked what role iwould be playing? what i was told was bullshit and i think the real ecw fans would ****ing riot if they did this.
i was told the plan was for me to attack the big show on a few shows. each time i would get the upper hand. basicley awesome bomb him just kick the ever loving shit out of him. then bigshow vs i would headline the first ecw ppv.(of course joey styles is against this the pencil neck bitch)
this all sounded good until they told me at the ppv the big show was going to dismantle me and pin me within 30 seconds or less. you got to be kidding me right? in 30 seconds i had to job?
this is the direction wwe is going to take ecw. they are looking for a legond to crush and since i turned the offer down it is going to be someone else. i just wanted to let the TRUE ecw fans what direction there going with this brand.

It was heavily edited, so it probably didnt look bad to you. Khali is the worst wrestler since Giant Gonzales. Hes completely useless. It really makes me respect other big guys like Big Show that much more.

WTF how is that a good idea?Tonight a new tag team, Cryme Tyme, will be introduced to the RAW audience. In an effort to humor and entertain our fans the tag team known as Cryme Tyme will be parodying racial stereotypes.

lol at the "homie thought he was gonna sell him a smoothie."

On a side note, Raw was decent on monday. The less DX-Mcmahon stuff the better.

WHY I MADE AN APPEARANCE AT A WWE HOUSE SHOW SEPT.8, 2006, TAMPA, FL

You may have read or heard that I showed up at a WWE Raw house show Friday, 9-8-06, and created a "disturbance." Well, before people jump to conclusions and try to put their own spin on what and why I did what I did, I figure you might as well hear it from the horse's mouth.

Part of the reason dates back to the Smackdown show taped on 2-11-03, airing on UPN 2-13-03. It was my return to national TV after many months recovering from injury as well as many months helping with the WWE's training system, Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW), in Louisville, KY. After so much time off TV, instead of any build up and fanfare for my return, the WWE had me dress up as a known homosexual (Boy George), come out of a large crate in the middle of the ring (a closet, so to speak), sing in a very effeminate voice ("sing like a ***" I was told by the agent/creative person assigned by Vince McMahon to me and this "storyline,"), and take a very physical, stiff beating from the Undertaker including 3 extremely brutal and UNSAFE chair shots to the small of the back and the top of the head.

Now, I believe this was in response to my possible plans, at the time, to come out of the closet nationally. Prior to my comeback, I had several discussions with people within the WWE about coming out, and I am sure it got back to Vince. Instead of just telling me that he would prefer it if I didn't come out, I believe he set up this angle as a message to me. I can't say that for sure, but if it wasn't a message, it was an incredible coincidence. Following this incident I was very rarely on Smackdown or Raw, and was pretty much beaten every week until I was fired. I guess everyone can draw his/her own conclusions.

Now, as recently as a few weeks ago, my goal was to return to the WWE, I guess in some ways not wanting to believe that I was really fired because I was gay. But I was curious. Several attempts to contact and talk to the WWE about a possible return went unanswered. And in trying to find out about the potential for a return, I found out from pe
