goc Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 He will be cutting even better promos in San Antonio, TX. Unless dedhemingway sees I jumped the gun and scoops him. In which case my undercard may be saved at the expense of me writing a promo that makes me laugh every week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyin' Brian Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 Good old new Voldemort. Even just taking his WWF stuff into account I thought he was hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 I really WANT dedhemingway to stop me. His plan requires a lot of other shit that will continue to decimate my chances of having more than 5 matches per card lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Boricua Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 Okay, I'm back. About Barrabas, he was one of the original Capitol Sports Promotion wrestlers when the promotion started up in the 70's. He was a masked tecnico called El Rayo de Bayamon. The story goes that he ended up turning on Miguel Perez Sr. during a tag match. This was basically the first big turn by a wrestler in Capitol Sports. In an interview addressing the incident, Perez angrily said "You are nothing but a Barrabas". He probable meant a Judas, but instead said Barrabas. El Rayo ran with it, naming himself El Rayo Barrabas, which eventually got shortened to Barrabas. He basically became the first notable heel manager in Capitol Sports, adopting Shag Thomas as his first charge. Barrabas would first lose the mask, and then lose his hair in his feud with Perez. This would lead to his trademark bald, sideburns and beard look. Â Barrabas would leave Capitol Sports for a long period of time (due to apparent legal issues), and would work on the PR indie scene during that time. He would return as a manager/wrestler in the early 80's. He would end up taking along sabbatical from wrestling from the mid-80's to about early 91 due to injuries suffered in the Dupont Plaza tragedy. Since then he has remained active in on and off spurts with different companies locally. Â Here's a clip of Barrabas in action in 1977: Â And here he is having a communication breakdown with Apolo during a match: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 Thank you! And for the video of El Gran Apollo and him almost getting into a shoot fight. That damn hot head Apollo might just cause me the locker room problems I was concerned about after reading his scouting report. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Waco Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 I love Barrabas. In the early 80s PR footage I've seen he was basically the world's best JTTS. Really a super entertaining undercard worker. I was considering drafting him and putting him under a mask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrisZ Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 There are still 6 guys on my last list left and I'm really hoping they are still there when I pick hopefully tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 I actually have added a lot of names over my youtube travels. I could see using a few All Star scrubs in some different gimmicks that I already thought of. Memphis would sometimes use a jobber's name to take a shot at another wrestling company so Tommy Rich look a like in a lone-ranger style mask as "The Masked Wildfire" is funny to me.

Dylan Waco Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 Yeah if you spend some time on YouTube, you will find at least a few more guys with some value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Boricua Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 I've got 19 names still left on my list, need to look over the available wrestlers to see who I can add. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryvonKramer Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 I have to say, I'm fearing less about the state of the "development" matches on WWF Challenge now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 So dedhemingway is in front of me and then I go. Will take proxy picks for the people behind me (I am not trying to take your pick, it's quite obvious who I want to take now) Cross Face Chicken Wing, dawho5, Boon, JHawk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawho5 Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 I'll be out of bed in 7 hours. I think I'm safe on that front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 I have to say, I'm fearing less about the state of the "development" matches on WWF Challenge now.

dawho5 Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 That Gran Apollo match reminds me of a tag match between Choshu/Yatsu and Jumbo/Tenryu. Yatsu gets out of control after Jumbo refuses to brawl with him. Higuchi and Choshu try to calm him down for a bit and then the bell rings. I love that match.
