Hello again, having a bad day are you? Well so Am I, so now we can just sit here and complain about our days...... Or I could just write out a column to make both of our days a lil bit better... I think I will go with the later... Ahem, so Welcome back wrestling fans! And here we have yet another Random Words!
This time round I am taking a little thing from Rebel, he has put up a thing on his column about "Your 10 favorite wrestling moments.." Or something, its a contest of some sort.... of course wth no prizes... He may be a southerner, but he is still ghetto cheap. But its all good folks, because just remember, you get to tell your tale and have it put on a website that has more then..... lets see.. Reb...Anthony... and Me, so at least three people read this site! So go write down your fav moments and send them into the Reb, for more info go check out his column.
My Favorite Events(Or matches) in Wrestling History.... or since 1996
(They are not exactly in order)
1. EC Fn' W! - Alright, so the first Event is not exactly an event, its acctually a not nearly long few years. ECW, if you have never heard of it (If you havent, please wear some shinny metallic object so we know who you are!) then you truely missed something. I cant even begin to explain how much I loved ECW, and how much it saddens me to have to say words like did, had, were, and other past tence words when talking about ECW... Tommy Dreamer, need I say more?..... Come on! He is the Icon!... Screw Douglas, Tommy is the Franchise!
2. Wait.... Bret Hart got screwed? - Hey, I am a big Bret fan too, but you gotta admit, it was pretty entertaining night. The night Bret got screwed. I meen, how many times have people spit at Vince? (besides fans of course) How many people have punched Vince? (besides.... well the whole current roster) It made quite a few good movies, and finally a just reason to hate Vince.
3. Cactus Jack vs Terry Funk (AKA Holy Shit!) - Cactus Jack vs Terry Funk, in the most well known Death Match of all time.... and for good reason. These two had already fought two times that night, and they were probably dead tired. But they went out, for the third time and put it all on the line! Terry Funk, born sometime between the Birth of man and the creation of fire. Cactus Jack, who is now known as the most "Hardcore" man in the world, really proved it more this night then any other. I cant do it justice, you gotta see it to see the carnage!
4. Ok, so I might hate ROH.... but I still go to there shows - CM Punk vs Raven, Hardcore Cage Match. Straight Edge(Punk) vs Old Boozer (Raven), Youngin vs Old School, Punk vs older Punk. What lead up to the show is equally amazing, you think Raven or Tommy Dreamer interviews are intense? Watch CM Punk, noow thats intense! This match was not exactly the best match of all time, but it certainly showed the hate between the two men in the match.... and it was held in boston, so it was a great way to end off thier Epic fued(as ROH calls it). If for nothing else, it had Tommy Dreamer involved, so you have to love it.
5. Ok, so now I may sound like a Hypocrit... but when has that stoped me before? - Steve Corino vs Homicide. I have seen this match only twice, both in ROH. And between a Stiff match in Conneticut, and a bloody No Rope Barbwire match in Mass, it was really all that I needed to at least somewhat like ROH....
6. Does my Hypocritcy have no Bounds? - I have said it once, I have said it a thousand times, ROH sucks.... but who sucks more then them? XPW! Thats who! Why? Well.... They chopped of Messiahs thumb... They almost killed a dog to draw ratings.... Screwed up in Philly so bad, there can be no more "Ultra Violent" matches in Viking Hall.... Owned by Rob Black.... Owned by Rob Black, wait did I say that once before? Well picture me saying a few more times, just so you know how important that is.... But, I own all there tapes.... Why you may ask? Why must I lose all integrity just for... XPW?.... "White Trash" Johnny Webb, thats why!! And the even ruined him, having him job to Shane Douglas, the same thing that screwed WCW, ECW, and wherever else he has worked for probably!... Webb, please come back! Come to the east coast! We will treat you better!
7. TOKYO Go!..... - I bet your thinking something along the lines of... What the? TOKYO Go! is a song that is used by yet another wrestler I like. Magnum TOKYO in Toryumon, which is in Japan. A great federation, with sports entertainment, and more importantly, great wrestling action. It is owned by Ultmo Dragon and by that alone, you should know that its based of Great, Creative, Stiff High Flying action!
8. CZ M F'n W! - I have mentioned them before, there awesomeness, will not be spoken of here, to know more, read prior articles punker!
9. Come for the Wrestling, Stay for the Lighttubes! IWA-MS - Like Hardcore wrestling? You will like, Corporal Robinson, Ian Rotten, J.C. Bailey and many more in IWA- MS. Like old school wrestling and brawling? Well then we got some Mark Wolf, Danny Daniels, Tracey Smothers and many more. You like High Fly or Technicians? How bout some Nate Webb, Matt Cross (Ewww), Jimmy Jacobs (Huss! Huss!), Ace Steel, Jerry Lynn, Alex Shelley, Sonjay Dutt and many more there too! How bout strong style? Well you will love Chris Hero, and I am sure he would be happy to show you around the federation. IWA-MS, its got everything you could ever want!... and then some!
10. Ryan O'Boy - Not many times in life, do you have the opertunity to do a great interview with a professional wrestler. I can say I did one once or twice, and hope to be able to say I will do some more before I am done. But one sticks out in my mind, Ryan's. You see, if you read it you would know we are good friends, and he is a great guy. He in my mind has the abillity to go far, and thats not just because he is my friend.... and not just because he paid me to say it either, its because he is naturally charismatic, and a great guy. He also has the look, the abillity, and the damn heart to do it too. Not many people can say they have all those things, most are lucky to say one. Thats why I am proud of our interview, cause not only his he my friend, not only does he have a future in this biz (without a shadow of a doubt in my mind), he also put alot of himself into that interview, and it meant more to him then it will ever meen to anyone else. When someone loves wrestling enough to put effort in a tiny lil column guy like me, and just shows you what a great guy he is. I could say a million more things about him, but I think I have said enough.
Well thats it for today folks, maybe till after X-Mas, I should hopefully have an interview by then or shortly after, but intill then, have a happy holliday season and enjoy your fix of wrestling entertainment, not on the networks!
