Cox Posted February 23, 2012 Report Posted February 23, 2012 How many of those guys are even still active? Maff, Red, Briscoe, Homicide, Quiet Storm, Spanky, Super Crazy, and the main event guys? That's like half the show.
Jingus Posted February 23, 2012 Report Posted February 23, 2012 I remember owning a copy of that show that I think I got from Will. Overall, it's a pretty lousy show. The card doesn't mention that the first thing you see on this show is two dudes kissing in the middle of the ring, with the gay heels Christopher Street Connection making out. Ah, makes your own Rob Feinstein joke here.

jdw Posted February 23, 2012 Report Posted February 23, 2012 Facebook Page: Wrestling Fans Against Misogyny New page, appears to have been created on Monday (4:42 PM PT first post) and aimed at Joey Ryan rather than the WWE. Coincidence that it popped up before the WWE did their Monday night thing. Interesting because the pics are of Joey and Candice, and they have a singles match on the next show. Not their first, and they've worked opposite each other a lot over the years. Joey actually put her over at WrestleReunion. John
rovert Posted February 23, 2012 Report Posted February 23, 2012 That's pretty weird/misdirected. Being sleazy is Joey's GIMMICK. From what I've heard and seen he is generally pretty "right on." He portrayed a gay character in WRP and did an androgynous Marilyn Manson gimmick when he broke in the business.
Coffey Posted February 23, 2012 Report Posted February 23, 2012 Well, I like the idea of the message but I don't like the means that it's being used. I'm not sure the guy running that Facebook page is too...what's the word I'm looking for? Knowledgeable. Or maybe she/he is a troll, I have no idea. Trying to name-drop Jimmy Snuka & Jerry Lawler as the two example wrestlers to counter misogyny, really? A shame because I really like Joey Ryan too and think he could be a star. I hope this doesn't get any legs using him as the example.
jdw Posted February 23, 2012 Report Posted February 23, 2012 It appears to be up from a fan. Looks like fan photos from what I suspect is the WrestleReunion tag (Candice in green & red) and PWG's Legion Hall (Candice in white). The fan is also knowledgeable about PWG in the sense of Joey being one of the owners. Also, you wonder how much of it might just be a work. There were those Snuka and Lawler comments in the very early post. John
jdw Posted February 23, 2012 Report Posted February 23, 2012 Actually, looking at Joey's page and his posting of pics from WrestleReunion, it looks like the snaps are by a PWG related photographer. Might be Joey/PWG working (less likely) or a Joey Fan having some fun. John
FLIK Posted February 23, 2012 Report Posted February 23, 2012 How many of those guys are even still active? Maff, Red, Briscoe, Homicide, Quiet Storm, Spanky, Super Crazy, and the main event guys? That's like half the show. Monsta Mack & the Maximo's still wrestle. After disapearing for a while Brian XL came back not long ago but i'm not sure if that was just a temp thing or if he retired again. Allison Danger's still around & wrestling as well. I know ROH only use him as a manager but does Nana still wrestle on the side anymore?
Tim Evans Posted February 24, 2012 Report Posted February 24, 2012 One of the Maximos retired. The other is teaming with a cousin, Will Maximo.
Bix Posted February 24, 2012 Report Posted February 24, 2012 I forgot just how weird that first ROH show (and similarly the other early shows) were. - RF being the only promoter to use the Christopher Street Connection as heels - Homicide teaming with Boogalou (who he wasn't teaming with in "workrate" indies) against the soon to be split (due to Drake's injury) Boogie Knights. - The Whipwreck trainees being unable to capture the magic from their CZW trios matches. - Eric Tuttle - Oz & Ikaika Loa making their only appearances. - Super Crazy in for one shot via Victor Quinones. - Multiple wrestlers suddenly, suspiciously switching to smaller & tighter outfits, which at less one of them (Danielson) only wore in ROH for months. The SAT went from having a unique look in their sleeveless work suits to being really generic looking. That's not even getting into the awful early booking and skits.
Blehschmidt Posted February 24, 2012 Report Posted February 24, 2012 Is Quiet Storm still around? I always liked that kid.
FLIK Posted February 24, 2012 Report Posted February 24, 2012 He's been wrestling full time for Taka Michinoku's K-Dojo promotion in Japan since 2003
Bix Posted February 24, 2012 Report Posted February 24, 2012 Is Quiet Storm still around? I always liked that kid.I think he still shows up in Japan and NY indies from time to time. He grew into a hell of a worker but isn't someone who's really been on the radar of most people.
CFTV Posted February 24, 2012 Report Posted February 24, 2012 Anyone else listen to MSL's interview on the MLW page with Maunakea Mossman? I had never heard him talk before so it was cool to hear his take on his career and his time in All Japan. They go about an hour. http://tinyurl.com/7datemt

Cross Face Chicken Wing Posted February 25, 2012 Report Posted February 25, 2012 Why did I just waste 10 minutes of my life watching this?
sek69 Posted February 25, 2012 Report Posted February 25, 2012 Funny how 2012 Warrior looks like 80s Sting when he has his facepaint on, and 2012 Sting looks like 80s Warrior when he rants like a loon on Impact.
artDDP Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 Why did I just waste 10 minutes of my life watching this? The Warrior is the Gary Busey of sports entertainment.

Bob Morris Posted February 28, 2012 Report Posted February 28, 2012 Review on Grantland: We Found It on Netflix Instant: Hunt to Kill With Steve Austin John “Debra 2:20 says I got arrested for beating up my wife.” That made me laugh out loud for some reason -- as did plenty of other lines in the review.
med2089 Posted February 28, 2012 Report Posted February 28, 2012 After disapearing for a while Brian XL came back not long ago but i'm not sure if that was just a temp thing or if he retired again.I reffed on a WXW C4 show in Allentown, PA about a month ago where Brian XL was in the opener. It was the first I had heard of him being around in a long, long time.

Someone here needs to volunteer to review all of the WWE's movies... *looking at Daniel and Jerome* John
Blehschmidt Posted February 28, 2012 Report Posted February 28, 2012 I'm not going to lie, I like most of Austin's movies. Hunt to Kill was terrible as was The Stranger, but The Condemned, Damage, and Knockout were all watchable. Tactical Force is also decent, but not as good as the other three I mentioned. He did one with Danny Trejo, but I haven't seen it yet.
