WWE Superstars - Well I didn't expect the NBS show to be running head to head with it...but it is. Just wonder if I'm still getting viewers.

Name Changes - The reason why I refuse to call people by their new ring names when they go to WWE or TNA is because they usually don't make any rhyme or reason. Vince Russo is a genuine idiot who managed to catch lightening in a bottle one time and has not been able to duplicate it since--and is sticking people with these goofy names JUST SO they can own a trademark that isn't worth the paper it's printed on! Vinnie Mac stuck Chris Harris with a goofy name as well, you know how long he lasted in WWE...

ADD: George the 3rd continues to not understand why I'm not going along with things here, probably because he's looking at it with the wrestler's eyes and not the fan's eyes. Chris Harris for instance he only lasted a whopping THREE WEEKS in WWE because they threw away all the name recognition he had built up by sticking him with the name Brendan Walker. That name KILLED HIS CAREER DEAD. Where is he now? You've heard from him lately? Let's go further, what the heck is the name Jethro Holliday doing for Trevor Murdoch? Well? And now they renamed Cheerleader Melissa with the name Alissa Flash...WTF??? If I didn't Google search on the name I wouldn't have had a clue who that was! Once again, all the name recognition completely SQUANDERED so they could own another worthless trademark! Well what about Raisha Saeed? Here's the difference--it was under a MASK! We weren't supposed to know who she was! And here's another one, go back to that episode of the NBS where I interviewed Ian Rotten & Mickie Knuckles when I asked who the heck came up with the name "Moose." Learn something there. This pet peeve of mine has been held for quite a while now and I've been complaining loudly about it every time this happens. Tell me to get over it? You might as well tell me to roll over and accept all the crap the Obama administration is ramrodding through Congress because "my side lost" - skyrocketing unemployment, energy, debt, taxes, and socialized medicine - NOT GONNA HAPPEN.

Facebook - I dunno why this has passed Myspace on popularity. Though forcing everyone to register to browse the site at all probably had a lot to do with it. I'm tired of having to jump from site to site to promote anything cause people have grown tired of the prior one. Notice I'm not going to close my accounts on Livejournal and move. All the functionality I need is here and there are no hoops to jump through.

Angelo Santelli - Is there something behind the fact that ever since he won the HWC title he has not defended the belt ONCE outside of NBWA? They wanted to have a title defended among multiple companies...and he's not doing it. Someone at GAW should stand in the center of their ring and issue challenges for the belt right away, cause's it been three months now.

GAW - I just wonder if they noticed what I deleted out of the match between Ryan Phoenix and Matty Montcalm that aired on the Nose Bleed Seats this week...and how much better the match was as a result.

Concerning this weekend's events...geez, we have nothing but confusion here. Last minute cancellation, incorrect info on the other shows, and incorrect date on the rescheduled show. I feel sorry for the fans that may show up at one venue and find nothing going on.

Dan The Man - I'm shocked he got the pin on Phoenix and won the title. He's not at the level others his size are, which means I think a member of the Midwest Mob is gonna end that reign first. The Dixieland Destroyer is gonna demand a title match though, cause he pinned him earlier in the night.

CN Real - Ahem, live action programming on a cartoon channel? What the heck are these guys thinking to fleeing their roots? Are toons in general just not popular anymore among kids? I guess that would explain why NBC, the CW and Fox got rid of all Saturday morning programming in favor of old 90s sitcom reruns. I'd have to wonder if the Cartoon Network will get a name change to the "Complete Network" and ditch its roots entirely?

Sarah Palin - If you're being bombarded with a bunch of trumped up charges that you have to continually waste hundreds of thousands of dollars on legal bills to prove them false and people talking s*** about your family and someone like David Letterman who is a mere shadow of his former self thinks its funny to joke about having sex with a 14-year old, and all this is to the point you can't do your job...I can't blame her for getting out. It's clear now any conservative is gonna have to enter the battlefield armed to the teeth and be prepared to massacre a bunch of grunts and fight to the death against these thugs.

Barack Obama - This guy is on track to become the worst president in our nations history and is actually moving to destroy the economy to get even for what happened two centuries ago. This is the guy you voted for...Robert Mugabe-lite. Destroy anyone who is successful and bring everyone down to a poverty level.

Chicago Mob - One of its members has come out and said they'd sabotage a show if they hate the promoter...or if I was running it. So my warning to you, don't listen to anything said by this "Johnson" guy. It's not credible.

Jun. 20th, 2009 @ 11:09 am IWA Mid-South Tryout Review - Match by Match
Just a warning...the home fed information is solely for the smart fans and the wrestling press but not the wrestlers themselves because they don't want people to know anything about any of these guys's past history.

Machine vs. Zane Ramsey - We all should know Machine as one half of the Gravediggers, home promotion varies around Chicago. Zane Ramsey, first fed that popped up on Google was Mayhem Pro Wrestling. Machine with a shove, and beats him down. Zane with a dropkick, flying headscissors. Machine with a kick, pickup, Zane fights out, hurraconranna and Machine goes outside. Ramsey with a dive but gets caught and rammed into the post. Machine puts him in but misses the charge to the corner. Zane slugs away, dropkick in the corner, but Machine with a lariat for two. Knee lift Machine, headbutt gets two. Ramsey chops him, dropkicks the knee, shining wizard gets two. Springboard moonsault Ramsey misses, Machine with a spinebuster finishes for the pin.

WINNER: Machine pin -> 7 mins. **

Match was okay, the problem with going first is the crowd wants to see who else is there to choose from. But I'm not gonna hold that prejudice on them. So should they make the roster?

Machine - Yes.
Zane Ramsey - Need to see more, invite to a second tryout show.


Cash Cavins w/ The Coach vs. Rockstar Cole James - Both these guys came up from Renegade Pro Wrestling, and during intermission they knew who I was from the NBS show. Hammerlock by Cash, but misses the foot. Cole with a headlock takedown, headscissors, dropkick. Cash with a headscissors takedown by Cash, dropkick. That whistle is irritating. Clothesline by Cole gets two. Cole with a spinning toe hold, figure four. Goes to a half crab, the Coach jumps up, Cash is feigning injury with Cole looking confused, and this looks really awkward. It's a ruse for a LOW BLOW, Cash charges but Cole evades and botches a top rope rollup but finishes with a tornado DDT for the pin.

WINNER: Cole James pin -> 7 min. 1/2*

Sloppy match, and both need to train a lot more before they are ready to move up to let's say AAPW. If Mike Masters and Curly open that place to train in West Frankfort they both should check in there. So should they make the roster?

Cash Cavins - No.
Cole James - No.

Izzy Puff'N'Stuff vs. Marcus Murder - Izzy was on the fence on doing this tryout, which I nudged him to give it a shot. More recently he's been wrestling for GAW but has been doing MMA on the side and is undefeated. Marcus Murder...not a clue who that is...and Google has nothing on him. So we think he's a complete newbie. Uh oh. Murder with a shove, slugs him in the face, elbows get two. He works the leg, Izzy hits back, spinneroonie and gets a DDT, spinebuster, springboard crossbody, makes a wish and hits a legdrop, neckbreaker, goes up, Izzy finishes with the swanton bomb for the pin. Not good.

WINNER: Izzy Puff'N'Stuff pin -> 4:15 mins. 1/4*

Izzy was not thrilled that the opposition was giving nothing and messing up a bunch. Murder should check in to the Nose Bleed Seats Training Center in Decatur, IL--for more information go to http://myspace.com/thenosebleedseats Izzy should go to the NBSTC so he stops wasting his potential.

Izzy Puff'N'Stuff - Sorry, not now.
Marcus Murder - EPIC FAIL.


Abuse of Power - Morton Von Prose & Josh Powers vs. Team Dragonfire - Dragon Verde & Dragon Azul - AOP came up through NGW, though they are more associated with GAW these days. Verde & Azul wrestle with GAW the majority of the time. All four have masked and unmasked wrestling personnas so I'll let you figure that part out. I also have to say AOP has been in a struggle to gain respect, while I like the duo others have a negative view of them. Yeah MVP is Jonathan Napier now, stupid WWE. Only half of Dragonfire is represented here. Azul and Josh start, headlock Josh, Azul tells him he's not doing it right and has MVP demo the headlock on his partner. MVP with an armbar on Verde, takedown by Verde, ties up the legs but almost gets himself pinned. Test of strength, but Verde kicks him and brings Azul in for a double atomic drop and double russian legsweep for two. Josh gets the blind tag and hot shots Azul, neckbreaker gets two. MVP comes in as Josh stretches out Azul for him to hop on his exposed back. High knee in the corner, but loses the bulldog...oops. MVP with a punt, senton gets two. Josh in with a suplex, but misses a charge and Azul almost blows a side suplex. Verde in, clothesline, spinning heel kick, enzuigiri, they set up for a double team but it's broken up, then attempt something that is almost totally FUBAR'ed for the pin. Oh dear, they tried something too complicated for the end and messed up. This has actually happened a time or too in prior matches I've seen with them.

WINNERS: Team Dragonfire pin -> *3/4

This was actually a decent match until things fell apart at the end attempting too much razzle dazzle...and it pretty much cost them dearly here. Should they make the roster?

Abuse of Power - Do a second tryout show.
Dragon Verde & Dragon Azul - No. I don't think they can hang with most of the IWA-MS roster.

Mike Joblonski w/ Nick White vs. Toby Farley - Google says Joblonski wrestles for USWO and FTW out of Tennessee. Farley wrestles for the same feds. One man is much bigger than the other and has a lot of tattoos. Hmmm.... Mike slugs away beating down the little guy until he throws a dropkick and takes him down with an enzuigiri and snap mare. Mike rakes him, runs him over and hits a big senton. They trade chops and Toby manages a monkey flip, dropkick gets two. Toby wipes his boot in his face in the corner, but misses the second charge and gets taken down with a gut wrench suplex for two. Farley with a headscissors and enzuigiri get two. But Mike BOOTS him down, fireman's carry but Toby rolls him up and White decides to hop on the apron, Toby turns his attention to him as Mike grabs him for an F5 ramming him into the corner for the pin.

WINNER: Mike Joblonski pin -> 6 mins. *1/2

Ugh, I'm a little torn here, the match was okay though execution was a bit off. But I'm not sold on these two. Lack of chrisma perhaps and not at the level they need to be. I would need to see more before I could judge them IWA-MS material. Should they make the roster?

Mike Jablonski - Second tryout show.
Toby Farley - Second tryout show.

USA Network Statement Re: WWE Monday Night RAW

NEW YORK, June 18 /PRNewswire/ -- "USA Network and WWE issued a press release on June 16 that referred to Monday Night RAW's storyline of a 'sale' of WWE's RAW to Donald Trump. We intended the release to be promotional for that ongoing story arc on the series. There is no such actual 'sale'. We apologize for any confusion."

Characters Welcome.



I'm sure the kayfabe fanatics that try to tell me how to act as a smart fan will be contacting the network shortly screaming bloody murder. I mean they SHOULD!

Jun. 14th, 2009 @ 08:18 pm More Word Association
I have literally NO IDEA why people are satisfied with under 100 draws. NONE. Maybe they like small crowds or something in large cities. And the excuses are wearing thin...wrestling shows are inexpensive entertainment compared to other choices out there. Course I've been waiting for a fed shakeout to happen which I had thought was gonna occur last year with $4 gas.

NCW - Waiting to see if they try to restart with yet another change at the helm...Southern Thunder is moving to South Carolina, but have yet to get an answer as to why not run NCW shows there if he was intending to take it global...it would be a large step in that direction...

RCW - I have to say anything was gonna be better than that Jerseyville show...it was. The draw went back up to 225, nothing was grossly horrible but some folks did feel their match was horrible. However, there were still some key no-shows--resulting in one match happening twice. So I have to say, if anyone is looking to fill a date or expand out, your chances of getting booked on Rampage any particular night are PRETTY GOOD. Even if you don't care for Frank Reed or whomever is on the roster, he pays and you can just bring your own opponent. They're back in Jerseyville in two weeks, dunno if the draw will rebound there--but hoping they get enough folks in to make up for the bad show from last time. Scratch that, show on the 27th has been CANCELLED. August 8th is the next show in Litchfield.

Kevin Thorn - Quite a nice guy, just wish I knew about the clinic and the autograph session cause I would had plugged those.

Kaos - He needs to get some ring gear. Jeans and tennis shoes aren't gonna cut it with a LOT of people.

Jeremy Wyatt & Mike Sydal - They would had been booked for RCW had they left a callback number. ARRRGH!!! And I was HOPING they would be there to provide a high-caliber match if everything else sucked!

"All-Star" Rex Gill - Showing up in your ring gear expecting to be booked when you were told you aren't booked is a BAD idea. It doesn't work that way. I have to say though on the flip side, I'd be a bit annoyed if I helped get GAW a new venue then don't get any gratitude. And kinda surprising since they've had a habit of booking ANYONE regardless of skill.

Benjamin Taylor - He introduced Gill in Lincoln with the same level of excitement as a five year-old kid finding a lump of coal in his Christmas stocking. And he just stood there afterward with nothing else on his mind after introducing him.

NMW - Two months off...some of these folks are in the NBS 25 and guess what? They're gonna drop off the list because they don't wrestle outside of NMW! I suggested they book six of NMW's roster that do not wrestle outside of NMW typically and stick them in a six-man tag solely to pull them out and put in other matches where needed...but did not take my advice!

Jun. 11th, 2009 @ 08:38 pm America Held Hostage - Day 142
I'm at my angriest here...the vile, vicious, violent intolerance of the left-wing in this country is at an all time high, and I'm sick of these bastards. They are determined destroy anything and anyone in their way to ramrod their ultra-extreme philosophy down everyone's throats. And these type of people must be fought back against to where they suffer massive damage to the point that they ever think of going after innocent people that they will be wiped out and will never be a threat to anyone ever again. Everything has been made worse with Dems in power...EVERYTHING.

California left-wing hacks are determined to force people to accept offensive lifestyles despite being told time, after time, after time, after time...NO WE DO NOT WANT THIS GARBAGE! They are determined to make your lives a living hell if you do not allow them to have their way. Donald Trump WUSSED out and fired Miss California because she dared say marriage is between a man and a woman. I expect the new Miss California to not last a week because she believes the same thing--and they'll have to go to the fourth or fifth runner up to find another political hack that thinks like them.

David Letterman - used to watch him all the time, now he's a bitter angry liberal that doesn't respect anyone unless they have a D by their name. I suggest conservatives start making a ton of jokes on Chelsea Clinton and Obama's kids...and if anyone throws a fit jump in their faces and yell you didn't give a damn about Palin's kids so shut the **** up you ****** *******!

Some newly appointed left-wing extremist czar is now going to dictate how much anyone is paid...that's communism right there people.

Liberals are the biggest bunch of hatemongers on the face of the earth. There's been no uniting at all, this country is more divided than it's ever been and getting worse by the minute. Some change that was...maybe I should move to Europe.

IWA-MS Tryout Show Part 2 - Any wrestler taking part in the show that does not want to be matched up by any former ringname that they used when I write the review -- not gonna happen. This is still is NOT a kayfabe blog and it is not for kayfabe fantatics--go find another site with a mindset stuck in the '60s or '70s.


GAW - Have I been too negative on them? I dunno. There's things I don't like that they keep doing and I have to repeatedly say something about it. They did something else that I did not like, stop a match because "time expired" but they never specified a time limit. Since they restarted the match it still ended on a double countout...so the time expired stuff should not had been employed at all. I don't know WHY the booking team at GAW keeps doing this kind of nonsense. The other problem is they're stuck in reactionary mode all the time and don't think about how it would be received by those watching then react it's negative. Here's another one, when they introduced the person who helped get GAW the venue in Lincoln, Ben Taylor seems very unenthused and ho-hum about it, and the ring announcer after the battle royal was over was just as unenthused. Should I give these two an electric shock? I certainly could start writing reviews of their shows again...which I haven't had the time or energy to mess with.

JC Michaels - Prophet of wrestling? According to who? You? What makes you a prophet above everyone else?

Tim Lyle - What a surprise, he didn't show up at GAW. I was real dubious of him appearing in the first place, as that was the last place I'd ever see him show up at.

Matty Montcalm - Did not know he took a year off, but he's back now.

Abuse of Power - Finally got a shot at one of the major teams in central Illinois, that being the Hooligans, and pulled off the win somehow. And everyone in the crowd, except for one particular person was cheering loudly after that happened. I dunno why it's been so difficult to get this team these matches, though they've not teaming up as often now.

IWA-MS - Concerning the fans tryout show, I was told putting up a list of where the tryout wrestlers came from was inappropriate. Well I am gonna do that again for tryout show #3--but I'll put the disclaimer that the information is for the SMART FANS ONLY and not for the wrestlers. The purpose of listing the feds in which the wrestler is representing--and it's not 100% accurate because sometimes I have to guess which company they wrestle at the most from Google searching their names--is to see who is taking advantage of the tryouts. And since it is almost completely in the hands of the crowd as to who makes the roster, I am going to LIVE RATE the matches as they happen. I have gotten some names from around here that ARE doing the tryout, which will be revealed...

Nose Bleed Seats TV - ...on episode #48 of the NBS on the web, episode #57 on Access 4--which will be Matt Cage as host interviewing Cameron Jacobs! Before that, finally got the episode shot at Mid Pro Wrestling edited...I had a very rough time with that one because the background noise was a major problem requiring us to talk loudly. I ended up having to caption half of it, and figuring out what was said was quite tedious. It's not 100% accurate but did the best I could. I also had to trim the thing down to the maximum 30 minutes as it went over two minutes. The webcast version won't have as much trimmed as I'm not under any time constraints there. In the weeks after for TV, I'm going to show matches from NMW since its Springfield.

NBS Podcast - This program took some weeks off to give personal things attention. Should be back this week.

NBS 25 - Interesting issue developing, because IWA-MS and HWA is running here monthly...how to include the folks who wrestle for those feds but are not necessarily locally based ones. Gonna get even more interesting when the next NBS Awards show rolls around, cause we'll be fighting over higher profile guys being included on the lists.

CI Scene in General - Everyone is having trouble drawing a crowd. NBWA did have the Rantoul show which the cadets made up the overwhelming majority, but apart from that everyone is having trouble drawing. NMW and NGW are taking a few months off, SLW continues on hiatus. There's still no shortage of shows however, with HWA, IWA-MS, RCW and PWE running in the area now. GAW and NBWA are gonna run multiple times a month too.

Illinois - A tax increase is a very hard sell...if anyone saw the votes in California on tax increases they ALL went down in defeat by landslides. Taxpayers are mad at the government for mishandling the money...and they're not willing to give them any more to screw up with that even further. Obama is gonna stick the country with a major tax increase in 2010 simply by letting the Bush tax cuts expire. Right now he's funding things by printing more money and trashing the dollar. Europe by the way voted out the liberals and elected conservatives...so we're gonna see if they change any.

Whoever the politician was that claimed gas was not gonna go over $2.75 a gallon this year...well it's already past that and is still going up YOU IDIOT!!!

The thing that did much of the damage to the economy in 2008 is now going to be a major factor in keeping the economy in a depressed state in 2009 with little chance of reversal...gas is going over $3.00 a gallon and going to stay there. Obama is not gonna do anything about it because he wants us to stop driving entirely and walk to work even in heavy rain and blizzard conditions. Yeah, and he thinks it's okay for terrorist nations to have nuclear power but we can't--we can only use wind mills and solar panels but terrorists can have nuclear power. Sigh, I'm gonna need to get a scooter.


HEY YOU OBAMA VOTERS! Are you starting to regret voting for this incompetent moron now? Too bad, you're stuck with him! He's gonna far surpass Jimmy Carter as one of the worst presidents in our history.

The Rap Sheet - from the Mad Conservative
IWA Mid-South's Opportunity
5/22/2K9 Bellevue, IL

Finally back at one of their shows...


Unfortunately the draw tonight was only 30 people, and some of that may have been lack of faith of the show being held because other shows of late were cancelled due to the promoter falling ill. There's likely a bunch of other factors, but shows in Peoria of late just aren't getting three digits of people in the door. The glut of wrestling is just that big that the audience is spread very thin and no one can attend all these shows...including me...and I am attending a lot of them as it is. I may reach 50 shows attended this year.

Just a note, I still have very little time to write these reviews up--so how quick this review went up does not mean I have more time. Live from the Bellevue Plaza...I do not know the name of the ring announcer.

May. 29th, 2009 @ 06:15 pm Russia knows we're screwed...
I think pretty soon it will be a common thought that Barack Obama is the American version of Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe, the worst dictator in the world...who is trying to do to this country what was done to Zimbabwe in the name of "equal justice". Zimbabwe is nothing but an empty husk of its former self, after Mugabe completely obliterated the economy into severe poverty and brought everyone down to the same level...extremely poor and starving...because it wasn't fair that a bunch of white guys were running the farms. Well the redistribution of the land to who HE thought should own the land had no idea what they were doing and everything collapsed on itself because of one man's reverse racism.



And the nation Russia which championed Marxism has declared American capitalism dead. The only thing standing in the way to reverse this is conservatism--which I'll be shocked if it doesn't roar back in 2010. But Obama is gonna ram down as much horrid stuff that he can before then while there are very few obstacles in his way.

http://english.pravda.ru/opinion/columnists/107459-1/

American capitalism gone with a whimper

It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American decent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against the back drop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people.

True, the situation has been well prepared on and off for the past century, especially the past twenty years. The initial testing grounds was conducted upon our Holy Russia and a bloody test it was. But we Russians would not just roll over and give up our freedoms and our souls, no matter how much money Wall Street poured into the fists of the Marxists.

Those lessons were taken and used to properly prepare the American populace for the surrender of their freedoms and souls, to the whims of their elites and betters.

First, the population was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard education system based on pop culture, rather then the classics. Americans know more about their favorite TV dramas then the drama in DC that directly affects their lives. They care more for their "right" to choke down a McDonalds burger or a BurgerKing burger than for their constitutional rights. Then they turn around and lecture us about our rights and about our "democracy". Pride blind the foolish.

Then their faith in God was destroyed, until their churches, all tens of thousands of different "branches and denominations" were for the most part little more then Sunday circuses and their televangelists and top protestant mega preachers were more then happy to sell out their souls and flocks to be on the "winning" side of one pseudo Marxist politician or another. Their flocks may complain, but when explained that they would be on the "winning" side, their flocks were ever so quick to reject Christ in hopes for earthly power. Even our Holy Orthodox churches are scandalously liberalized in America.

The final collapse has come with the election of Barack Obama. His speed in the past three months has been truly impressive. His spending and money printing has been a record setting, not just in America's short history but in the world. If this keeps up for more then another year, and there is no sign that it will not, America at best will resemble the Wiemar Republic and at worst Zimbabwe.

These past two weeks have been the most breath taking of all. First came the announcement of a planned redesign of the American Byzantine tax system, by the very thieves who used it to bankroll their thefts, loses and swindles of hundreds of billions of dollars. These make our Russian oligarchs look little more then ordinary street thugs, in comparison. Yes, the Americans have beat our own thieves in the shear volumes. Should we congratulate them?

These men, of course, are not an elected panel but made up of appointees picked from the very financial oligarchs and their henchmen who are now gorging themselves on trillions of American dollars, in one bailout after another. They are also usurping the rights, duties and powers of the American congress (parliament). Again, congress has put up little more then a whimper to their masters.

Then came Barack Obama's command that GM's (General Motor) president step down from leadership of his company. That is correct, dear reader, in the land of "pure" free markets, the American president now has the power, the self given power, to fire CEOs and we can assume other employees of private companies, at will. Come hither, go dither, the centurion commands his minions.

So it should be no surprise, that the American president has followed this up with a "bold" move of declaring that he and another group of unelected, chosen stooges will now redesign the entire automotive industry and will even be the guarantee of automobile policies. I am sure that if given the chance, they would happily try and redesign it for the whole of the world, too. Prime Minister Putin, less then two months ago, warned Obama and UK's Blair, not to follow the path to Marxism, it only leads to disaster. Apparently, even though we suffered 70 years of this Western sponsored horror show, we know nothing, as foolish, drunken Russians, so let our "wise" Anglo-Saxon fools find out the folly of their own pride.

Again, the American public has taken this with barely a whimper...but a "freeman" whimper.

So, should it be any surprise to discover that the Democratically controlled Congress of America is working on passing a new regulation that would give the American Treasury department the power to set "fair" maximum salaries, evaluate performance and control how private companies give out pay raises and bonuses? Senator Barney Franks, a social pervert basking in his homosexuality (of course, amongst the modern, enlightened American societal norm, as well as that of the general West, homosexuality is not only not a looked down upon life choice, but is often praised as a virtue) and his Marxist enlightenment, has led this effort. He stresses that this only affects companies that receive government monies, but it is retroactive and taken to a logical extreme, this would include any company or industry that has ever received a tax break or incentive.

The Russian owners of American companies and industries should look thoughtfully at this and the option of closing their facilities down and fleeing the land of the Red as fast as possible. In other words, divest while there is still value left.

The proud American will go down into his slavery with out a fight, beating his chest and proclaiming to the world, how free he really is. The world will only snicker.

May. 21st, 2009 @ 10:27 pm GAW Singles Rankings
I have not messed with this thing for so long...mainly cause they deleted their boards off. Not included - 100 people with a single win or a single loss plus a bunch of semi-active folks who are fly-by-nighters that I can't tell if they're a part of GAW or not...really hard for me cause the list of inactives is so huge. Oh yeah the tag team rankings are just as confusing. So many teams with either one win or one loss there too...and can't tell who's contending for those belts either. And they're vacant.

Tim Lyle - If someone told me a few months ago that Tim Lyle would wrestle on a GAW show, I would had that person committed to the insane asylum. I am shocked that he would even entertain the thought as much as he's trashed anyone in central Illinois that wasn't trained by him directly.

GAW - Apparently they're bored with their directors...so that's why they're letting Tim Lyle speak -- that's according to JC Michaels...it's says RIGHT THERE on the webpage! They're bored with their directors! So am I! Let's get some more interesting directors!

Southern Thunder - When we interviewed him he seemed to have a good head on his shoulders--however that gets put to the test during the rebuild period.

Wicked - I've heard of his kid running around ringside from Patrick's recounts, but now that I've seen it first hand it was time to say something publicly.

Ian Rotten - I'd like to see that promo he did in the ring at the last GAW show...apparently it scared JC Michaels to death.

The Rap Sheet - from the Mad Conservative
Rampage Championship Wrestling
4/28/2K9 Jerseyville, IL

Haven't been to a show in years...why did I just happen to hit a really crappy one?


Well it's been a few years since I've been to a Rampage show...which show quality varies widely...about like GAW does. They've been running in the section of central Illinois that's south of I-72. Unless it's east of US 51 no one runs in that area, certainly no one west of Springfield. This event happens to be just north of the St. Louis area which is about as far south as central Illinois goes. I've been needing to go for a while because I had a few interviews to do for the Nose Bleed Seats. The venue itself however, isn't quite configured very good for a wrestling show--low ceiling and one of those darn ceiling fans is in the way at one of the corners.

I should say at the outset, the entire advertised card had to be thrown out the window...cause we had four no shows and two injuries. Jason Wells broke his finger playing softball, and Steven Bishop hurt his arm from the last NMW show. So the entire card had to be redone from scratch...which will get to be an issue a bit later. Also, the prior show in Litchfield had Kevin Thorn on the card, and 300 people in the audience. Tonight we only have 75. BIG drop. Ouch.

Live from the American Legion Hall in Jerseyville, IL. Your promoter and ring announcer is Frank Reed. Right off the bat the Mat Maniac who is going by Mr. GQ comes in to say Steven Bishop is out with an injury and that he has a big surprise for Reed. We'll see. They shut the lights off for each wrestler that comes in, which I need to say unless you are using a spotlight on the wrestler...DO NOT SHUT THE LIGHTS OFF. There's NO purpose to it...and I cannot shoot in the dark!

Apparently GAW can't make up its mind what to do with the tag titles...now they held them up because of a double DQ and some stip that if someone used a weapon they'd lose the belts...just put them up in a tag tourney already!

May. 3rd, 2009 @ 01:09 am Future of the GAW Tag Titles?
It's getting close to decision time about the GAW tag titles. Ian Rotten recently had to have his gall bladder removed and is suffering complications from surgery and may choose to retire for good this time. The tag titles are likely to be vacated ... the question is how to determine new champions. There are a few likely options --

A. Joey Grunge gets to select a new partner to continue defending the belts.

B. Titles are vacated, tag tournament is set up -- and geez, that VBI tourney bracket for tag teams...GAW could actually hold THAT TAG TOURNEY though Abuse of Power could not enter with MVP being heavyweight champ. Just about all the players have wrestled at GAW recently. They'd have to check that everyone in the tourney would be at subsequent shows--which is what messed up the tourney for the crowning of the first GAW champs.

C. Titles are vacated, belts are up in a team royal rumble. They've done this before with 13 teams. I'd argue against this with the United We Stand and Blue Collar Brawl rumbles upcoming--be like holding a rumble every other month.

D. Joey Grunge defends the belts in a handicap match, which isn't a good idea cause handicap matches suck and it's just delaying the fact that he'll have to vacate them anyway.

E. JC Michaels just hands the belts off to someone...which would be incredibly stupid, I've already thrown a fit about the GAW CS title. With an ECW legend having held the belts, bad idea to discredit another title.

EDIT: Substitute Grunge with Ian Rotten - though I'm dumbfounded how he's back in the ring two weeks after surgery...GAW is going with #A, which isn't all that desirable.
