sek69 Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 Even better is when Candice stepped back to let the DX chick come out from under the table you could see she was wearing tight jeans with her belt buckle still fastened, meaning the DX chick must have made her cum with Jedi mind tricks. Bonus points if you notice that Candice's belt was hanging open when she and HHH went to the truck to find HBK in the following segment. Ah WWE, bless their little hearts, they always find a way to bungle the details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno man, I have found nimble fingers + tight jeans = result at times. Although there wasn't a wet patch so... yeah, they did likely fuck it up.

sek69 Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 Holy crap, the wellness program doesn't seem to apply to ECW, as Test looks ridiculously jacked to the gills. He even got the crowd to chant "you use steroids" at him during his match with Al Snow (nice to see they got Al off OVW TV duty to job). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sek69 Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 The ECW crowds are heavily muted since Universal is afraid they'll start chanting cusswords. I would imagine from the crap being thrown in the ring that the live crowd wasn't quite as apathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strummer Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 There were chants that made it on air earlier in the show. I guess they muted the crowd at the end with Tazz and Joey screaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 The fans closest to the ring probably got picked up due to the cameramen, ring mics, and Tazz and Joey's headsets. The usual crowd mics you'd see on a typical TV wrestling show were muted/turned off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Dog Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 I downloaded some Deep South Wrestling matches today. I really like the look of the show as it reminds me of the old studio matches. Matches were kind of bland though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strummer Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 Meltzer's Update: --A Japanese pro wrestling crime was reported as Ryoichi Takashi, a drunk taxi driver was walking down the streets of Yokohama at 2:05 a.m. on Monday and gave a 36-year-old woman what was described as a left-arm lariat. The women took a bump on the ground and suffered a broken bone in her lower back. A resident who witnessed it described it as two people passing by and nothing happening and the guy just went Stan Hansen on her. The victim had never met Takashi.

A resident who witnessed it described it as two people passing by and nothing happening and the guy just went Stan Hansen on her. The victim had never met Takashi. That's easily the funniest thing I've read all day. I wonder if the "resident who witnessed it" actually described it as the taxi driver going all Stan Hansen on her. And if he saw it, did he scream "LARIAT-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~!" when the guy connected??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 Does it bother anyone else that Meltz reported about this woman's assault as if it was a spot in a wrestling match? She didn't "take a bump" she got knocked on concrete by some drunken jackass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is kind of a stupid thing to say rather than "She was knocked to the ground" but I guess when he's writing about wrestling he sticks to the terms used whether it's smart or not.

sek69 Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 So does anyone know who's booking in OVW? Heyman seems to be devoting his time to ECW now, so who's got the book in Louisville? Speaking of OVW, Jim Cornette's the smartest man in wrestling. By maintaining his ownership stake in OVW he's getting paid by both WWE (which covers OVW's expenses) and TNA at the same time.

Guest treble Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 I mentioned way back in this thread that Jake Roberts was coming to town here for an indy show (and I posted a video of the show in the You Tube thread). I didn't actually go to the show that was here in town, but the show the night before in a place about an hour away. Anyway, I guess he was pretty out of it for most of the weekend, but here's a blog entry from someone who was involved: It's been about 2 weeks since I last wrote an entry, so this one will likely be really long. Firstly, I want to talk about the mess that Jake 'The Snake' Roberts is. On May 26th, Jason and I went to Syracuse to pick him, and his wife, up at the airport for the Napanee and Brockville shows that weekend. When we got to the airport, he stumbled down the ramp-way, looking like he hadn't slept in about a week...not a very good start. Well, it didn't get much better from there. He, basically, slept the entire way to Kingston (2 hours), but was able to rise long enough to request we stop for food at a local diner. The diner sucked serious dick; the food was miserable, the service about as warm as a slap in the face, and Jake wasn't much for talking. He did crack a couple of jokes, but that was about it. When we get him back to Kingston, he wakes up long enough to request more food, then goes to sleep in his hotel room bed. This is, now, 6 hours before show time. Jason and I worked awfully hard on promoting the show, and I was pretty nervous about how things were going to turn out. While we were waiting for Jake to wake up, we went back to Jason's house for a couple of drinks, while we were getting reports from the arena that things weren't going well there. Ugh. More stress. 6pm rolls around, and Jake is still asleep. Show starts in an hour and a half. I haven't been to the arena yet. I don't know what's going on there. I don't know if Jake's ever going to wake up. I'm starting to stress out. Big time. Finally, we get Jake up and into the van, and head off to the arena. Once we get there, Jake goes into the locker room, has a couple of beers, then GOES BACK TO SLEEP. Christ almighty. He asked that we open the gym for him, so he could get some "quiet time", so we did (at this point, the show has already started). During intermission, I went to get Jake, so that Jason and Sinn could talk to him about their upcoming match. Jake was, of course, no where to be found. As it would turn out, he was wondering around the back end of the arena. Ugh. So, finally, the main event rolls around, Jake comes out, does fuck all, except his DDT, and that was about that. The crowd seemed to enjoy the match, but considering everything we went through to get the 10 minutes of work out of him, it wasn't much to me. Well....it only gets worse. The next night, in Brockville, Jake decides he wants to get absolutely hammered. By intermission, he's basically passed out in the locker room. I felt so bad for SiNN, who had to work him that night....no one should ever be put into the position of having to work with someone that is clearly in no shape to perform/protect. Regardless, Jake stumbles out for the main event, and proceeds to lay down in the ring for what seemed like FOREVER (10 plus minutes, anyways), while SiNN tried his best to work around him. Ugh. It was unbelievable. Get's worse. After the match, Jake starts having breathing troubles, and colpases in the locker room....we load him into the car, and he seems to be alright. Then he wants to stop for food...so we go to Tim Horton's....then we go to KFC.....then we go to Burger King....at this point, our patience are pretty much spent. I'm sure I've left a lot of shit out, concerning what happened with Jake, but even given the information I've written, I'm sure you could see our frustration. When we get Jake to his hotel room, he doesn't bother thanking either one of us, or even really acknowledge us. That didn't seem to matter much, though, as when he was walking down the hallway to his room, his pants fell down around his ankles. And, I shit you not, he did nothing to fix it...he just stumbled the rest of the way down the hallway, and that was that. We found out, as well, afterwards, that he missed his flight, and called Dave (the promoter) expecting a new flight to be purchased for him. Wish I could make this stuff up, I honestly do. So, in any event, that was more of an "adventure" than I could have ever hoped for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHawk Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 At least Jake didn't ask for sexual favors during the course of the weekend. Not that he'd remember doing so the next day anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Reading Jake Tales like that make me remember how pissed he was when Beyond The Mat came out (and they reference it on his WWE DVD) as if they edited the footage to make him look like a horrible person/addict.

Resident Evil Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Why did they job Muto as bad as they did at Starrcade 89? Even if Muto was leaving it didn't make sense to job him out that bad. Yes, I'm still upset over this almost 17 years later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sek69 Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 I know at one point, the WCW braintrust didn't like the fact that Muta was upstaging the good ol' American wrasslers and they pretty much jobbed out anyone Japanese. Didn't they tell him and Chono to half-ass a match in 1991 as so not to upstage anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Primo Matarazzo Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Muta is one of my favorite wrestlers of all time and I recall with GREAT fondness his run with Gary Hart as his manager in the late '80s and those great matches with Sting. When I first got VPW, I simply would NOT play with anyone else and INSISTED on winning every match with the handspring elbow/moonsault combo. If I couldn't nail both, I wouldn't pin you. So as you can probably imagine, the Starrcade '89 incident still stings for me, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
