Back in 1988 Vince McMahon was approached by a young guy from Jamestown,New York.The youngster had created a pro wrestling games (played with dice and a pencil) while sitting in class at high school.Would the WWF be interested in buying the game idea?

Nope.Vince wasn't.

So the young guy gets a loan from his grandmother and prints up his first batch of games.

The game Champions of the Galaxy became an instant success.Today,it's hugely popular and generates that once young guy a small fortune every year in merchandise sales.

Wonder if Vince regrets that move?

Probably not.

I remember when Vader went ballistic on Kuwaiti TV and was arrested.

 

Rumour has it that Vader was terrified because he had been told by someone the absurd horror story that his hands would be cut off.

 

When he only ended up with a $166 dollar fine, he cried his eyes out in relief.

The Edge/Matt Hardy Match is the Best Match that has been on Raw in at least a year, WWE Keep this stuff up, the Fans Enjoy it

I hope that Hardy enjoys it now because I have a sneaky suspicion that pretty soon he will be wiping the spittle off his face from when Vince tells him..........."YYYOOOOOOOUUUUURRRREEEE FFFFIIIIIIIIRRRREEED!!!!!!!!"

Tammy Sytch decided to show up at WrestleReunion 2 to set up a table to sell promo photos, autographs, poloroids, etc... She had also appeared at the NWA Legends convention the previous weekend as an un-announced guest along with Missy Hyatt. Unlike at WrestleReunion, Tammy didn't cause any problems, although she seemed bored.

 

From several accounts from people who were at WrestleReunion, Tammy Sytch was thrown out of the building crying and screaming by security and warned to never come back again. Apparently, she was bothering several of the wrestlers and acting unusual, mostly notably to Bret Hart.

 

Here is a detailed fan account of what went down...

 

Tammy was drunk or high. She was on something and kept asking Bret for his number and asking if they can "re-connect" as friends. She kept mentioning their time in the WWF and said she wanted to get "close" again. When Bret asked that she be escorted out, she began crying and causing a scene saying she had the best (I'm trying to say a bad word but can't) he ever had and she needed him in her life because she spent all of the Candido Benefit money and was broke. She needed a sugar daddy to take care of her.

 

Later in the hotel, she was stumbling around the hotel topless and asking for Billy Gunn who wasn't even there. Ask D-Lo Brown, he was there. He can tell you. As a matter of fact, The Masked Maniac should try to get him on the honker for a hotline to confirm this. Tammy has fallen off the wagon and needs help.

 

And for those keeping score, Tammy's regained a good amount of the weight that she had previously lost earlier this year as she's ballooned quite a bit in the last month or so.

 

Now THERE'S a gal you can take home to meet your mother.......

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, there was recently a heated situation in a hotel room between Ron Killings, Konnan, and Jeff Jarrett. When Jarrett proposed that the group of BJ James (The Road Dogg), Konnan, and Killings break up, he suggested that Konnan would go into a new group and BG James would go with Kip James (Billy Gunn), which would leave Killings with nothing. Killings was quite frustrated with this, and that is when things got heated. Words were exchanged, and Jarrett supposedly called Killings an “uppity Negro”, and things almost got ugly.

 

Killings offered to be a team with Jeff Hardy, an idea which had actually been suggested several times before by others, but Jarrett didn’t like the idea.

 

Konnan has went so far as to threaten to leave the company, if Jarrett sees that they are broken up, leaving Killings with nothing. Konnan had earlier suggested to bring indy wrestler Homicide into the group, to replace James.

 

Jarrett is such a sweetheart! He really needs to be tossed from TNA.

and this is the Man with Russo who said Hogan was an Egomaniac, hmmm, Jarrett couldnt draw a crowd if he was in Mexico dressed up as a Donkey in a Donkey a nd Girl Show!

WWE Monday Night RAW Review

 

The Carlito bit at the start of the show dragged a little. Shawn Michaels was correct though, Carlito is a poor IC champion who never defends the belt. The IC title is being tarnished by being on him. I don't understand why a good solid champion like Shelton Benjamin had to job to someone who is best used as an interviewer.

 

Flair and Michaels gain nothing from a feud with two duds like Chris Masters and Carlito. Neither of those guys are going to be stars. The two established guys could be used in better ways IMO.

 

Using the Big Show against jobbers every week is probably the best way to use him. Unless he loses weight he should not be pushed into any significant angle. I include Gene Sh*tsky in the term "jobber". Yes the WWE do pay the Food Bag a lot of money (no doubt spent on quadruple cheeseburgers) but that's Vince's financial ineptness that's to blame for that.

 

The Diva's bit was pointless. Although it was nice to see the no-talent greenhorn Diva get a vicious beating and a nice Widow's Peak from Victoria. Torrie Wilson makes a terrible heel. The other woman with the dark hair should be fired.

 

The Trevor Murdoch and Lance Cade team are worthless. Waste of time.

 

The Edge vs Matt Hardy street fight was excellent with a decent ending. It should have really ended with them both crashing through some sort of tables with all the electric stuff on it because it looked a little weak when they landed on the uber-crash mat. This would be a good opportunity for Edge to develop some kind of "Raven's Flock-like" faction.

 

Terrible Cena/Angle segment. It looked weak, Cena was poor and unfunny on the mic and yet another gay reference in his promo. Also, since he's supposed to be a rapper when was the last time he rapped? I can't remember. This character had the potential to be awesome, but the WWE lack the courage of their convictions to go all the way with it.

 

The Tomko thing was another waste of time. I'm amazed Rosey and Tomko are still employed.

 

A poor main event. Carlito and Masters are not up to the task. Honestly I just want to see a Rock vs Shawn Michaels match. The WWE is lacking talent these days. They seriously need to do something drastic.

 

The only thing I think would solve the problems short term is to unify the rosters, but I doubt it's going to happen.

 

HRH

King Alot of People felt about the Rock back when he had the IC title as you do with Carlito, if the WWE uses him, he will be the Next Rock, and Don't Fire Tomko, I found out he's my 3rd cousin by Marriage when I was in Florida, Tomko used to wreslte in the Pan-Am Wrestling down in Florida, and my Causin Robbie was the Champion (and most hated man in Northern Florida) known as King Jake Allen, My Uncle Butch was an announcer for their Program, and always down talked his Son (Butch was the Face announcer, the JR) and brought in Tomko to Fight Robbie, Well Robbie and Tomko wrestled as a tag Team up in Memphis for a while, that wasnt mention in PAN-AM, but were friends and Robbie introduced Tomko to one of My cousins, Pretty Cool I am Related to a WWE Wrestler, well for a little while I am

[AD gWo 0]

I smell giving Flair the IC title just for name value. Or maybe HBK. That would be huge.

 

Cena sucks on live TV. On the stick and as a wrestler.

 

I will not go as far as saying Cade/Murdoch are useless this soon, because at the moment, they look like gods coming in to save the tag division. It's too bad that Hurricane and Rosey are being buried like so, they're both pretty talented.

 

Nice Joe. Now you need a massive tattoo like Tomko ahahaha.

[Kor37 9]

Trevor Murdoch has got to be the son of Dirty (Please stop me from cursing) Murdoch. He looks exactly like him. I haven't seen a mention of this yet though.

[Kor37 9]

Don't Fire Tomko, I found out he's my 3rd cousin by Marriage

 

I think you should get a Tomko haircut and matching tattoos, Joe.....

 

Seriously, I didn't even know Tomko was still employed by the WWE. I thought he left ages ago.

That was a decent match, but I was amazed that they held that match on Prime Time Wrestling.

 

Surely something like that should have been kept for a PPV.
