Tim Evans

Holy shit that was awesome. I so need this book. Oh and Ultimate Warrior can go to fucking hell.

I've been Watching CMLL's CadenaTres show. It's a taping of Tuesday's Arena Mexico shows. It's not bad as it features a lot of the mid card/undercard talent like Valiente(Who's just awesome), Rey Bucanero, The New Infernales and others. CMLL's main problem like AAA is the main event scene. When they lost Mistico to injury, they were screwed. Now they are pushing a Rudo vs Rudo feud again with the GDA vs Perros. You really should try to get most of the AAA tv from 2007 from Fredo Ryan. That's where the best AAA is at. I'm not that impressed with the 2008 booking so far. Mainly because Mesias is gone and Konnan's handprints are all over it.

Thanks for this Loss. I remember AAA had a Elvis in 1993. He use to team with Winners. He was pretty good actually. I doubt it's the same guy. I should post some of my old Torches from 1998/1999/2000. They are really entertaining and show how bad WCW went.

From Obsessed with Wrestling: # November 26, 2005--AAW: Jimmy Jacobs came out with the IWA Mid South title belt and threw it in the garbage can! # ~~~Jimmy Jacobs claimed it was because Ian Rotten had canceled four shows. Jacobs badmouthed the IWA-MS promotion.. And here's video of it: http://video.aol.com/video-detail/jimmy-ja...-aaw/3366490670 He returned in January 2006. I thought AAW was his promotion but I guess not.

So Rey Jr. injured himself in Chile. Why he was wrestling the week of a PPV I have no idea? Especially a guy that injury prone. I'm guessing a steroid aided injury?

I thought Jimmy Jacobs had his own promotion? Isn't that one of the reasons he left IWA Mid-south and threw the title away? It seems like my prediction about AAA is right because La Parka Jr. already came back way too early. He'll be injured by June. Plus they are doing a whole bunch of cage matches with teams to quailfy for the Rey de Reyes tourney. And X-Pac is already done. As for WWE, I think they will stay about the same business wise and there will be no hearings.

First time Viewing I wasn't that impressed with it. Especially on the midnight Express part. It will probably improve once I watch it again.

I wanted to a WWE questionnaire similar to the one done on WCW, with questions that apply more to WWE. I'd consider the time frame for this from the beginning of the Hogan era to present. (1) What do you ultimately think Vince McMahon will most be remembered for as a promoter? -Changing the course of wrestling and the best Heel WWE ever had. (2) What do you think is the most important positive change that has come from the WWE vision of what pro wrestling is? - PPV's and Big Building wrestling. (3) What do you think is the most important negative change that has come from the WWE vision of what pro wrestling is? - I'll agree about the entertainment for Retards thing. (4) What is something that you have always felt WWE does well that they don't get enough credit for? - Build main events people want to see even if it's already happened years ago. (5) What is something that you have always felt WWE does horribly that they don't get enough criticism for? - Shitty Undercards and lack of quality tag teams. (6) Overall, do you think most people are fair when discussing WWE, or do you think people tended to be blinded -- either by fanboyism or hatred? - Hatred for Vince Mcmahon and John Cena blinds a lot of people over the good stuff WWE does. The older fan that says Vince killed the territories to Attitude fans that Hate Cena just because the Rock isn't coming back. (7) What match would you point to as the match that most defines the WWE version of wrestling? - Austin vs Rock at WM17 (8) Could the WWF have had their initial success without Hulk Hogan? Why or why not? - I don't think so. Part of the success was thanks to Vince and his great business mind and part of it was the Aura of Hogan. I don't think it would be the same with a guy like Backlund as top star. It was time for a new star and Hogan fit it better than anyone else. (9) Could the WWF have been more financially successful in the post-Hogan, pre-Austin time period with different people on top? Why or why not? - No. The steriod trial hurt the company a lot. It might have been a little better if Flair had stayed as top guy or Savage in 94. I have no Idea why Vince pushed Nash and Mabel so much . (10) Who do you think was a bigger star at their peak -- Hulk Hogan or Steve Austin? - Hogan. Austin is great but Hogan is on a whole different level. He's not just a wrestling star, he's a Star all over the entertainment world. (11) What do you think is Vince McMahon's greatest accomplishment as a promoter? - Wrestlemania (12) What do you think was the greatest contributing factor to WCW overtaking the WWF from 1995-1998? -Hulk Hogan and the NWO. Plus the staleness of WWF from 95-97. (13) What do you think was the greatest contributing factor to the WWF overtaking WCW in 1998? - Starcade 97 was the end of WCW. Adding so many members to the NWO thus killing it. And like 1985, Vince Mcmahon and Steve Austin were in the right place at the right time with the Attitude era. (14) Which world champion was the best in terms of ring work and why? - Bret Hart because he could get a good match out of almost anyone. (15) Which world champion do you think meant most to the company? - Hogan without a doubt. Look what he did for with Andre when Andre was in horrible health. (16) Which world champion had the worst run? - Kevin Nash. (17) What do you consider the high point in WWF or WWE history? -84-88. I mean it was getting great ratings on primetime Netowrk TV. Wrestlemania, Andre/Hogan, Rock N Wrestling. All that changed the business forever and put lots of money in Vince's and the WWE pocket. (18) What do you consider the absolute low point in WWF or WWE history? -1993-1996. As great as Bret's matches were, no one wanted to watch wrestling and WWE knew that. It showed in the ring product. Plus I don't think Vince's heart was in the wrestling business because he couldn't rely on Hogan. (19) Looking at things from their point of view, why do you think WWE frowns on employees being big wrestling fans? - Because Vince Mcmahon hates wrestling. Deep Down, Vince wants to do movies and TV but at the end of the day, He will always be known as a great wrestling mind and he loathes it. That's why he hires all these TV writers so he can surround himself around a bunch of yes men that are just following the paycheck. (20) Do you think the WWF has ever done a good job at booking tag teams in a meaningful way? If so, what time period? -Late 80's. You had Demolition, Tully/Arn, Rockers, Hart Foundation etc. It all went to hell when the Hart Foundation broke up. (21) What is the best non-main event feud the company has ever produced and why? - DX vs Nation especially Rock vs HHH. (22) What is the worst main event level feud the company has ever produced and why? -Mabel vs Undertaker and Steiner/HHH. Mabel/Taker for obvious reasons that both men were just horrible then and Steiner/HHH for Steiner just sucking in the ring and HHH not caring. (23) What do you think was the single biggest contributing factor that caused the end of the 1998-2001 boom? - The failure of the WCW and the Invasion. Plus Vince was too caught up in the XFL to care. (24) From your personal experiences, is the WWF a company that delivers house shows where you feel you get your money's worth? - Never been to one. (25) Where do you think they'll be in five years? - The same place they are now unless someone can come up and give him competition. I don't think that will be TNA. But i think Stephanie and Shane will start to take over with Vince still overlooking but not as much as he is now.

So who's his next fight going to be with? Kongo? It's got to be someone easy right?

Come on Pegasus, you know the internet rule, Bash it before you see it. I just watched it and it was pretty exciting. That standup was such crap.

Thanks for this Loss. Man NWA seems to get worse as the weeks go on. Who's Rocky Iaukea Jr.?

HA Brock lost in a minute. So how long till he goes back to Vince?

He's already been outed as being from NYC. In fact didn't WWE bill him being from NYC?

If they are going to quit using people, Why can't they start with Romero and Richards? They have about as much personality as a doorknob.

Here's my list after watching the first 2 discs: 1.Ted Dibiase/Matt borne vs JYD/Mr. Olympia loser leaves town 10/27/82 2.Mr. Olympia vs Chavo Guerrero 6/24/83 3.Mr.Wrestling 2/Magnum TA vs Butch Reed and Jim Neidhart 12/25/83 4.Mr. Olympia vs Bob Roop 7/15/82 5.Hacksaw Duggan vs Ted Dibiase Texas Streetfight 7/29/83 6.Stagger Lee/Bill Watts vs Midnight Express 4/22/84 7.RNR/Duggan vs Midnights/Ladd Tulsa 7/2/84 8.Midnights vs RNR Express 5/23/84 9.Magnum TA vs Ted Dibiase No DQ Tulsa 5/27/84 10.RNR/Duggan vs Midnights/Ladd 6/8/84 11.Duggan/Rhodes vs Hernandez/Reed 8/19/84 12.Magnum TA vs Ted Dibiase No DQ OKC 5/27/84 13.Los GUerreros vs Fantastics 10/12/84 14.Bob Roop vs Mike George 12/16/81 15.Mr. Olympia vs Paul Orndorff 2/3/82 16.JYD/Wrestling 2 vs Dibiase/Borne 2/16/83 17.Duggan/Fantastics vs Midnights/Cornette 7/20/84 18.JYD/Mr.Olympia vs Duggan/Dibiase 8/18/82 19.Magnum TA vs Ted Dibiase Houston 7/6/84 20.Stagger Lee/Mr.Olympia vs Dibiase/Borne Loser leaves town 12/18/82 21.Brickhouse/Master Gee vs Ladd/Reed 10/21/84 22.Killer Khan vs Chris Adams 9/9/84 23.Nick Bockwinkel vs JYD 6/11/82 24.Buddy landell/Butch Reed vs RNR Express 3/28/84 25.Buck Robley vs One Man Gang Lumberjack Match 9/15/82 26.Porkchop Cash and Bill Dundee vs Midnight Express 4/6/84 27.Fantastics vs Midnight Express No DQ 9/28/84 28.Adrian Street vs Chris Adams 10/10/84 29.Butch Reed vs Skip Young 3/23/84 30.Fantastics vs Midnight Express 8/9/84 31.Bob roop vs Ted Dibiase 4/2/82 32.Iron Shiek vs Butch Reed 4/8/83 33.Magnum TA/Wrestling II vs Midnight Express 2/10/84 34.Dusty Rhodes vs Nick Bockwinkel 5/20/83

I wonder if they are still going to do the Pre wrestlemania shows down here in Orlando? Maybe it's time to try and get TV?

Speaking of JBL/Jericho, How come no one is expressing outrage over the unprotected chairshot JBL took and the whole strangling angle?

Hopefully if this happens. It leads to Britney vs Jillian in a Sing off. I'm sure they could get Simon from American Idol to judge with Santino. It would be gold.

Thanks for this as always Loss. Some comments: I had no idea Joel Watts worked in the WWF. He must not have lasted too long. Thunderdome I thought like Dave was an awesome Idea. I remember watching some of them on my old Devastation Inc/Eric Embry feud tapes. Who is Fabulous Lance? I can't believe Nate the Rat was around in Memphis at this time. Isn't he still managing somewhere in Memphis?

Didn't she leave and just never came back? I think she did Last comic Standing.

Thanks for this Loss. How long did Taylor last in Memphis?

Rey Bucanero's Tecnico run Shocker's AAA run Felino's AAA run Muhammad Hassan( I loved that character. Probably my favorite character at the time.)

Shelton most underrated? UFC winning Promotion of the year? Eh whatever. And how the hell did Shamrock/Baroni beat Apache/Billy Boy? Fucking scabs.

Here's my top 20 after the first disc: 1.Ted Dibiase/Matt borne vs JYD/Mr. Olympia loser leaves town 10/27/82 2.Mr. Olympia vs Chavo Guerrero 6/24/83 3.Mr.Wrestling 2/Magnum TA vs Butch Reed and Jim Neidhart 12/25/83 4.Mr. Olympia vs Bob Roop 7/15/82 5.Hacksaw Duggan vs Ted Dibiase Texas Streetfight 7/29/83 6.Stagger Lee/Bill Watts vs Midnight Express 4/22/84 7.Midnights vs RNR Express 5/23/84 8.Bob Roop vs Mike George 12/16/81 9.Mr. Olympia vs Paul Orndorff 2/3/82 10.JYD/Wrestling 2 vs Dibiase/Borne 2/16/83 11.JYD/Mr.Olympia vs Duggan/Dibiase 8/18/82 12.Stagger Lee/Mr.Olympia vs Dibiase/Borne Loser leaves town 12/18/82 13.Nick Bockwinkel vs JYD 6/11/82 14.Buddy landell/Butch Reed vs RNR Express 3/28/84 15.Buck Robley vs One Man Gang Lumberjack Match 9/15/82 16.Porkchop Cash and Bill Dundee vs Midnight Express 4/6/84 17.Bob roop vs Ted Dibiase 4/2/82 18.Iron Shiek vs Butch Reed 4/8/83 19.Magnum TA/Wrestling II vs Midnight Express 2/10/84 20.Dusty Rhodes vs Nick Bockwinkel 5/20/83 This might change after a watch it for a second time. This set is unbeileveable so far. Mr. Olympia is so awesome and so is Matt Borne.
