SWF Main Event 4/10/04
SWF Main Event 4/10/04

Vance: Welcome to SWF Main Event!

Extreme: Tonight, you will see the matches that make up round 2 of the Extreme Lethal Lottery. And just what are those matches you ask, here's Dean to tell you!

Dean: We've got some big ones lined up, listen to this:

Match 1- Jahalaman Jaffe & Repo vs The Billion Dollar Man & Boppo the Clown

Match 2- Tex Gentry & Randy Mann vs Jack Suicide & Ayatollah Sheik

Match 3- The Freedom Fighter & Tony Ramon vs Quow Ling & Octane

Match 4- The Shadow & Captain Fantastic vs Petey Pizzazz & JuJu

Vance: Let's KICK IT OFF!

SWF Extreme Lethal Lottery Match: Round 2, Match 1- Jahalaman Jaffe & Repo vs The Billion Dollar Man & Boppo the Clown
The announcers point out how the drawing panned out, as not only are Repo & Jaffe teaming again, but actually facing their respective faction/team members. Repo comes out as Dude Love, and Jaffe just looks mad and embarrassed. BDM also looks angry at the partner he is saddled with. Jaffe & BDM both refuse to fight each other, so BDM shoves Boppo in, and Jaffe begins to beat on him. Jaffe ends up hitting the Arabian Goodnight quick, but BDM comes in and breaks up a pin attempt. Jaffe looks a little stunned, but BDM is all "Hey, I want to win". Jaffe seems to understand, and he decides to tag out. That ends up being a mistake, as Boppo does as well, and BDM soon blasts Repo with the Billion Dollar Bomb, then picks up the 1-2-3.
*Winners* The Billion Dollar Man & Boppo the Clown

Post Match: Jaffe shakes BDM's hand, as if to say there are no hard feelings. That mood changes when Jaffe turns to Repo, and he picks him up, then blasts him with the Arabian Goodnight before leaving, angry that he is out of the tourney.

SWF Extreme Lethal Lottery Match: Round 2, Match 2- Tex Gentry & Randy Mann vs Jack Suicide & Ayatollah Sheik
The boys in the booth talk about how Jack & Sheik were teamed in the first round. They also discuss if they will meet the same fate as Jaffe & Repo, who were in the last match, were partners in round 1, and lost in round 2. Tex & Randy have heat, since Randy (along with Silkky Smooth & Beef Macho) was one of the guys who beat the Good Ol' Boys for the 6 man title at Extrememania. Sheik doesn't like any American, and Jack doesn't like people who hate his country. Jack & Tex start, and after a while, Jack makes the tag to Sheik. Sheik dominates, until a fresh Randy is tagged in, and kicks his ass. Sheik goes for the spike, but like last time, Jack comes in and stops him. Jack ends up brawling with him, then leaves the ring, only to tag himself back in! Jack fares better, and Randy tags back out to Tex. During their fighting, Tex goes to whip Jack off the ropes on Sheik's side. Sheik prepares to wallop him, but Jack reversed, and it was Tex who is struck! Jack quickly climbs the ropes, and comes off with the Suicide Splash! 1-2-3, Jack gets the pin!
*Winners* Jack Suicide & Ayatollah Sheik

SWF Extreme Lethal Lottery Match: Round 2, Match 3- The Freedom Fighter & Tony Ramon vs Quow Ling & Octane
In their entrance, Freedom & Tony don't seem to be on the same page. As for their opponents, Quow comes out, as Octane follows, all to a big pop. That still doesn't give any indication onto how they feel about their teaming though. Octane kills Tony from the get go, and Quow nails Freedom with the Death Kick as Octane hits Tony with the Empty Tank! Being incapacitated by Quow, Freedom is unable to prevent Octane from pinning his partner! 1-2-3, it's over, Quow & Octane advance!
*Winners* Quow Ling & Octane

SWF Extreme Lethal Lottery Match: Round 2, Match 4- The Shadow & Captain Fantastic vs Petey Pizzazz & JuJu
Shadow & Fantastic seem willing to work together, as Shadow accepts a high five during their entrance. JuJu & Petey also seem happy, since they get to team together. Fantastic's request to start is granted by Shadow, and JuJu wastes no time attacking him. JuJu comes on strong, but Fantastic rallies, and takes the big man down. Fantastic's advantage doesn't last long, as JuJu reverses an Irish whip, and catches Fantastic with a brutal clothesline as he comes off the ropes. JuJu really lays on the punishment, but can't seem to keep Fantastic down for the three count. The crowd gets behind the fading Fantastic as he breaks away from JuJu long enough to scramble to his corner, but JuJu ends up cutting him off before he can tag. JuJu, seeing his chance, sets up for the JuJu Driver, but Fantastic slips away, and makes a dramatic leap to his corner, and gets the tag to Shadow, which draws a huge pop. Shadow comes in like a whirlwind, decimating his much larger opponent with vicious kicks, bringing JuJu to his knees. With JuJu in the right position for the Flying Wizard, Shadow runs off the ropes, but Petey runs in, and shoves JuJu out of the way! If Shadow hit the move, it would've probably been over! Petey leaves the ring without a fight, only to have JuJu scurry over to tag him in. Shadow, having landed hard after his missed move, lays on the canvas as Petey confidently enters, thinking he's got it all under control. Unfortunately for Petey, Shadow pops back up, and unleashes his deadly kicks on him! Shadow goes for one last knockout shot, but Petey used a discreet low blow to prevent it! Petey then lifts Shadow up, preparing for the Piece of Pizzazz, but much to his surprise, Shadow shoves him away, sending Petey into the ropes! Petey comes off the ropes, and ducks under a flying lariat, grabbing Shadow in midair, and landing in a Northen Light's Suplex! 1-2-NO! Shadow kicked out! Petey releases the bridge, turns, and Shadow grabs him for a small package! 1-2-NO! Petey kicked out! Shadow then attacks a recovering Petey, trying to hit some sort of flying DDT, but he is back dropped, however Shadow turns it as he goes over Petey's head, and plants him with a bulldog! Shadow then quickly climbs the ropes as Petey tries to make it to his feet, and when Petey is halfway up, he launches himself at him, but Petey jumps up, and catches him with the Piece of Pizzazz on the way down! Petey quickly goes for the pin, and gets it! He barely squeaked out a victory there, in an awesome match!
*Winners* Petey Pizzazz & JuJu

Post Match: JuJu comes in to cart off a tired Petey as Fantastic helps Shadow to his feet, and the two leave amidst a nice pop.

We are told by Extreme that we will for draw round 3 right now, as Angelica is standing by backstage to pick the matches!

Angelica: As you just saw, Petey Pizzazz & JuJu advanced in a close, but exciting encounter, and Quow Ling, Octane, Jack Suicide, Ayatollah Sheik, The Billion Dollar Man & Boppo the Clown all earned their spots for round 3! (the lottery tumbler is pushed into view by a crew member) All of the names have just been added, so let's see the 2 matches for round 3 that will take place next week!

The matches are drawn, and here is what is set:

Match 1- JuJu & Quow Ling vs Petey & Jack Suicide

Match 2- Octane & Ayatollah Sheik vs Boppo the Clown & The Billion Dollar Man

Angelica: In addition to round 3, we will also have the 4th and final round of Lethal Lottery competition, with the winners going on to face each other at Spring Stampede for the title! On top of that, we will see some non-tournament action, and do the random draw for the Spring Stampede title matches! Next week's SWF Main Event is going to be a big one, so be sure to see it! For Extreme, Vance, & Dean, I'm Angelica Summers, we'll see you next week for the Main Event!

SWF Main Event 4/3/04
SWF Main Event 4/3/04

Vance: Welcome to SWF Main Event!

Extreme: Tonight, we will see the second half of round 1 in the SWF Extreme Lethal Lottery tournament!

Dean: And boy, what a lineup that is, just look:

Round 1: Match 5- Ayatollah Sheik & Jack Suicide vs Tripp & The Reverend

Round 1: Match 6- The Mercenary & Yeti vs Tex Gentry & Tony Ramon

Round 1: Match 7- The Janitor & Jimmy Jam vs Octane & Randy Mann

Round 1: Match 8- Beef Macho & Xavier Hawthorne III vs Quow Ling & Shadow

Vance: Let's KICK IT OFF!

SWF Extreme Lethal Lottery Match: Round 1, Match 5- Ayatollah Sheik & Jack Suicide vs Tripp & The Reverend
Sheik wants nothing to do with Jack, and vice versa during their entrance. The same holds true for their opponents. Sheik basically pushes Jack away, and begins to attack Tripp, who was left in the ring, as Reverend jumped outside when Sheik charged. Sheik has things going his way, but when Tripp takes over, he reaches for his infamous spike! Jack, not wanting to win that way, rushes in and punches out his partner! The ref gets him to leave, but Sheik rolled in their corner, so he tags himself in! He fights Tripp off, and when he has it wall set up, he goes up top, coming off with the Suicide Splash! It connected! 1-2-3, Jack & Sheik advance!
*Winners* Ayatollah Sheik & Jack Suicide

Post Match: Jack leaves as Sheik tries to berate him, and Reverend is upset at his partner, but he never even lifted a finger to help the whole match. Tripp ends up punching the Rev out when he gets up, drawing a nice pop.

SWF Extreme Lethal Lottery Match: Round 1, Match 6- The Mercenary & Yeti vs Tex Gentry & Tony Ramon
Merc and Yeti have a bit of bad blood between them, stemming from the early days of the SWF, as Yeti beat him in the first round of the original SWF title tournament. That match was actually the first match ever in the SWF. Tex & Tony seem ok with each other, and do the fist touch thing as a sign of solidarity before Tony & Merc exit for their teams. Tex nearly gets murdered, and tags out. Tony tries his luck, but is soon whipped into the ropes, as Yeti charges in. Tony moved though, and it just so happens that it was Yeti & Merc's corner, sending Yeti into Merc, causing him to fly off the apron! Tony uses that to fire away at the big man, who he has reeling, when a pissed off Mercenary jumps in the ring, and attacks his own partner! Tony wisely backs away, and allows Merc to beat up on Yeti. Merc soon gets the stunned Yeti into position, and plants with the Mercy Kill! Merc then exits the ring and goes to the back, actually with some face heat. Tony allows a begging Tex to tag in, and he comes off the top rope with the Tennessee Jam! 1-2-3, Tex pinned Yeti!
*Winners* Tex Gentry & Tony Ramon

SWF Extreme Lethal Lottery Match: Round 1, Match 7- The Janitor & Jimmy Jam vs Octane & Randy Mann
Janitor & Jimmy are friendly in their intro, so they must be on the same page. Octane silently, and stone faced walks to the ring, as Randy follows. It should also be noted how big of a pop Randy & Octane got, both are climbing the ladder of overness rather quickly. Janitor opts to start for his side, while Randy just allows Octane to do his thing, as he looks ready. Octane is ready, blasting Janitor with a running big boot out of the gate, and delivering another to Jimmy, who runs in to save. Octane quickly picks up Janitor, and levels him with the Empty Tank, as Randy Mann comes off the top onto Janitor with the Body Shot! Randy rolls away, and allows Octane to pick up the easy pin. Extreme, Vance, & Dean talk about how dominant Octane is. Extreme says that "He's so dominant, it's scary".
*Winners* Octane & Randy Mann

SWF Extreme Lethal Lottery Match: Round 1,Match 8- Beef Macho & Xavier Hawthorne III vs Quow Ling & Shadow (The Black Dragons)
Xavier, with is moral standards, looks disgusted to be teaming with Beef. Beef isn't too thrilled either. They argue in the ring when the Dragons make their entrance. The Dragons get a big pop, and when they storm the ring, Beef pushes Xavier into them! Xavier is handed a massive ass whipping to the delight of everyone, and they just kill him dead with the Dragon Attack! Shadow goes for the pin, 1-2-3, it's over!
*Winners* The Black Dragons
We head back to the announce booth, and they say that the drawing is being set up, as we will see what the round 2 matches to air next week will be! They send it to Angelica, who is standing by to draw the numbers:

Angelica: We just saw Quow Ling & Shadow, The Black Dragons advance in the tournament, and with their names have been added to the lottery. Let's find out what the round 2 matches, to happen next week will be!

When all the drawing is over, here are the 4 matches that make up round 2:

Match 1- Jahalaman Jaffe & Repo vs The Billion Dollar Man & Boppo the Clown

Match 2- Tex Gentry & Randy Mann vs Jack Suicide & Ayatollah Sheik

Match 3- The Freedom Fighter & Tony Ramon vs Quow Ling & Octane

Match 4- The Shadow & Captain Fantastic vs Petey Pizzazz & JuJu

We get a final wrap up, and we fade out.

SWF Main Event 3/27/04
SWF Main Event 3/27/04

We open with the sound of Extreme Superstar's music, and he comes down with his freshly won SWF World title, and a standing ovation. He looks humbled, and he prepares to address the fans:

Extreme: Thank you for such a wonderful welcome. Last night, as you can see, I won the SWF title. (loud cheering) BUT, as owner of the company, I can't in good interest hold on to the title. (boos) I'm sorry, that's just how it has to be, however you'll be most interested in how the next champion will be chosen. I've always felt that if a wrestler wanted a title shot, he'd have to earn it, and in giving everyone a fair chance at the belts as well, so how will the next champion be crowned? An Extreme Lethal Lottery Tournament, my version of the classic match. Before I explain the rules, I have to address one problem that goes with this, we have an odd number of wrestlers under contract, meaning one person will not be able to participate. So tonight, we will have the first round drawing , with every SWF superstar entered. The order you are drawn will be your entry number in the first round. The unlucky last two names left, will be those of the men who must fight for the final entry. When we finally have figured out the last entrant, we'll be left with 32 men entered. But the road to the title won't be easy, just listen to what those men must go through: In this form of a Lethal Lottery match, the 32 entrants will initially be paired into teams of two according to their first round number, for example #'s 1 & 2 meet #'s 3 & 4, and so on. In that first round, there will be 8 matches, and only the winners of those matches will advance, leaving us with 16 men. Those remaining men will be reentered into the Lethal Lottery for round two, to be randomly paired again. Those 8 winners will not then enter a Battle Royal, as done in a normal version of the match, but advance to round three for another random pairing. When round three is over, only four will remain, and they will advance to the fourth and final round of the lottery, for one more pairing. The two men on the winning team will then become enemies, as they will be the ones to fight for the SWF World Title! So, in order to become champion, you have to win 4 tag team matches with a random partner, one that very well be your nemesis, THEN one singles match for the title. You know what, all this talking about the tournament has got me excited, so why don't we draw the teams right now!

(the crowd cheers as a bingo tumbler with the names is brought into the ring.)

When the dust had settled, here were the first round teams, with the exception of the yet to be decided 32nd entrant:

Match 1- Captain Fantastic & JuJu vs The Don & X

Match 2- Disco Danny & Crazy Phil vs Boppo The Clown & Petey Pizzazz

Match 3- Silkky Smooth & Mike Suicide vs The Billion Dollar Man & The Freedom Fighter

Match 4- Charles Gunn & Rory Rogers vs Jahalaman Jaffe & Repo

Match 5- Ayatollah Sheik & Jack Suicide vs Tripp & The Reverend

Match 6- The Mercenary & Yeti vs Tex Gentry & Tony Ramon

Match 7- The Janitor & Jimmy Jam vs Octane & Randy Mann

Match 8- Beef Macho & Xavier Hawthorne III vs Quow Ling & TBD

Match for the final spot: The Shadow vs Joe Money

After the team announcements, We are then informed of the schedule for these matches, which is as follows:

The match for the final spot in the tourney will take place tonight, as will first round matches 1-4.

Next week (April 3rd), we will see matches 5-8 of round one.

In 2 weeks (April 10), we will draw for, & see all 4 matches of round two

In 3 weeks (April 17th), we will see the drawings & 2 matches that make up round three, and then the drawing & match that makes up round four.

On April 23rd, we will have the Spring Stampede PPV, where the winners of the Lethal Lottery will face off in the championship match for the SWF title. Also, barring the possible champions in the World title match, all titles will be defended, and champions will again be subject to a Lethal Lottery, this time though, they will be, not only against random opponent(s), but also they must draw to see which of ten match types they will defend in. These drawings will take place after the conclusion of Round 4, on April 17th. Here are the match types:

1. 3 Man/Team Elimination Match- This number includes the champion(s)

2. 4 Man/Team Elimination Match- This number includes the champion(s)

3. Steel Cage Match

4. First Blood Match

5. Falls Count Anywhere Match

6. Ladder Match

7. Last Man Standing Match

8. Champion's Choice- They can choose any match, not just of the other nine choices

9. I Quit Match

10. Gauntlet Match- This choice forces the champion(s) to face ALL SWF superstars that have yet to have been drawn for a title match. In this case, other than the title holder, those involved are placed back into the drawing , and may have another chance at a later title shot, if there is one left.

We now head to the ring where we are ready to see who will win the final entry into the Extreme Lethal Lottery! Wait! Extreme makes his way to the announce booth! Extreme is back on commentary! He shakes Dean & Vance's hands, and tells Dean he doesn't want him to leave, as he is great, he sees no reason why a 3 man team won't work, at least for the Extreme Lethal Lottery Tournament. Extreme says he might step aside and let Dean take it after the tourney & Spring Stampede.

The 32nd Entry Match-The Shadow vs Joe Money
I should point out, that the winner will team with Quow Ling , who is an enemy of Joe's, and one half of the tag team champions, as well as brother of Shadow. Also, Shadow has decided to keep his same all-black gear after revealing himself to the world at Extrememania, sans mask. Joe comes on strong , but Shadow takes to the top rope and after a close two count following a flying cross body, he controls. Joe however, mounts a comeback, and after a nice powerslam, he sets Shadow up for the Payoff, but Shadow slips out, and by the time Joe turns, BAM! Shadow came in with his Flying Wizard Kick! 1-2-3! Shadow is in the Extreme Lethal Lottery Tournament!
*Winner and 32nd Entrant in the Extreme Lethal Lottery* The Shadow

We now prepare for the first 4 matches of round 1.

SWF Extreme Lethal Lottery Match: Round 1,Match 1- Captain Fantastic & JuJu vs The Don & X
The teams come out together, Extreme says he wants it that way, not only to save time, but build the solidarity needed to function as a unit and win. JuJu & Fantastic seem willing to give their teaming a try, as do Don & X. JuJu even volunteers to start, which is ok by Fantastic. Don & X have a bit of an argument about who will start for their team, and Don says something that seems to offend X. JuJu, tired of waiting, rushes towards them, and X steps out, leaving his partner at the mercy of JuJu. Poor Don gets slaughtered, and when he tries for the tag, X makes him sweat a little, before accepting. As he enters, the recovering Don murmurs some insult, so X turns around and tags him back in! JuJu just laughs, and tags in Fantastic. Captain goes to work on Don, who is in desperate need for a tag. He doesn't get it though, as Fantastic soon gets him up for the Crime Stopper, and hits it! 1-2-3, Fantastic/JuJu advance!
*Winners* Captain Fantastic & JuJu

Post Match: The odd pairing of Fantastic & JuJu nod at each other, as if to congratulate the other for their win. Fantastic even offers his hand, and JuJu shakes it! As the winners leave, The Don recovers, and he is PISSED. He berates X, who he then pushes! X responds by kicking Don in the gut, and hitting the X-Factor! X leaves to the cheers of the crowd. The announcers comment on the fact that the unified team won, and it's important to be unfied if you want to advance in the tourney.

SWF Extreme Lethal Lottery Match: Round 1, Match 2- Disco Danny & Crazy Phil vs Boppo The Clown & Petey Pizzazz
Danny & Phil are on good terms, as they high five in the ring as they await their opponents. Petey looks annoyed by Boppo, and when Boppo tries to high five him, he backs away, with a look that says "Please, just stay away!". Danny decides to start for his team, and before the decision can be made for their opponents, Boppo rushes at Danny, pissing Petey off big time. Boppo gets his ass whipped, and Petey is upset by this. When Boppo is whipped off his side of the ropes, Petey tags himself in. Petey and Danny have a good go of it, and eventually, Danny has to tag to Phil, drawing a big pop. Phil actually does well, and Petey tags out to Boppo, who gets rolled up, and nearly pinned! Petey almost had a heart attack there. When he has his chance, Petey tags himself back in, and beats Phil up with an anger we don't usually see from him, then hits the Piece of Pizzazz, and scores the pin. Extreme, Vance, & Dean talk about Petey's anger, an element that has been becoming more apparent lately. They say that it has really woken them up to how real of a title threat Petey really is.
*Winners* Boppo The Clown & Petey Pizzazz

Post Match: Losing team Danny & Phil get up, and shake hands anyways before heading to the back to a big pop. Petey hits his partner Boppo with the Piece of Pizzazz, and leaves him laying there. Extreme, Vance, & Dean then talk about the paradox of this and the first tournament match, as the winners here weren't a great team. Vance suggests Petey was on tonight, which had something to do with it, but the teamwork is still an important factor. Extreme & Dean agree.

SWF Extreme Lethal Lottery Match: Round 1, Match 3- Silkky Smooth & Mike Suicide vs The Billion Dollar Man & The Freedom Fighter
Silkky & Mike seem to be on the same page, while BDM walks ahead of Freedom, not even acknowledging him being there. The fans are all over BDM, and chant "You go beat!", referring to his defeat at the hands of Extreme Superstar in an off the charts match at Extrememania. BDM is very upset by this, while Extreme, Vance, & Dean laugh about it from the announce booth. BDM decides to take his anger out on Mike Suicide, who was the opponent closest in proximity to him. Silkky jumps in to help, but being a good partner, Freedom jumps in and fights him back. Before you know it, BDM nails the Billion Dollar Bomb on Mike, and scores the pin before Freedom & Silkky could even be rushed out of the ring.
*Winners* The Billion Dollar Man & The Freedom Fighter

Post Match: BDM taunts Extreme from the ring, and Extreme retaliates by leading the crowd in a "Paula" chant, which if you missed the Road to Extrememania special, is something Extreme used to irk BDM, as his real name is Paul.

SWF Extreme Lethal Lottery Match: Round 1, Match 4- Charles Gunn & Rory Rogers vs Jahalaman Jaffe & Repo
The two members of the Good Ol' Boys are obviously willing to work together, and happy to be teaming. Jaffe comes out, and is followed by Repo, who is apparently Extreme Superstar tonight! The fans love it, and the camera shows pans to show Extreme, Vance, & Dean all cracking up. Jaffe doesn't like it, since his ally BDM just lost to Extreme at the PPV, and he himself ended up being beaten up when he tried to help BDM in that match. I'd assume that's why Repo chose to do Extreme, to piss off Jaffe, who almost everyone thinks is a jerk, like the rest of Cash Inc. Gunn & Rory don't waste anytime attacking Jaffe while Repo plays up to the crowd. In a funny moment, Repo, as Extreme saves Jaffe, to which Extreme says that would never happen. Jaffe, seeing Extreme Superstar Repo after he made the save, gets really angry, and he throws a tantrum! As this goes on, Rory recovered, and runs at the team. Repo catches him, and hits the Lights Out! He then goes for the pin, 1-2-3! He got it before Charles could break it! The crowd pops huge, something I never thought I'd hear that after Jaffe (or his team) picked up a win.
*Winners* Jahalaman Jaffe & Repo

Post Match: The losers leave, as does Jaffe, who is really not too happy about what went on, despite winning. Repo then celebrates as Extreme's Music strikes up. Repo then motions Extreme to come to the ring, which the fans want to see. Extreme does, and we see the two mimic each other as the crowd eats it up. The two celebrate as we go off the air.

END OF SHOW

Extrememania!!!!!!!!
Extrememania

We open with fireworks going off all over the place, while the massive crowd cheers wildly. There is an elaborate stage setup, the entrance is not just a curtain and walkway, there is a huge array of big screens stacked up, a wide, ramp-less walkway, and the entrance curtain has been replaced with a black plexiglass screen, which will slide open as the wrestlers enter. Above the big screens (which for now display the word "Extrememania" and show flashes of the SWF superstars), there is a giant light up sign that stretches across the whole width of the screens, that says "Extrememania" in sparkly silver lettering. The banner that hangs from the rafters, and ring aprons are black, with sliver lettering that also reads "Extrememania". This SWF Superdome and the set are impressive, the facility's retractable roof has been opened up on this starry night, making the whole scene very beautiful.

Vance(super excited): WELCOME EVERYONE TO EXTREMEMANIA! Welcome to the grandest stage of them all, where tonight, legends will be born, and dreams will be realized! We are LIVE from the brand new SWF Superdome, where there is a phenomenal 81,753 people in attendance! I've NEVER been so excited to bring to you an SWF broadcast, and with the lineup tonight, I have good reason to be! Dean, tell em' what we got!

Dean(also ultra-amped): Vance, just listen to this lineup:

For the SWF Hardcore Title, it will be brother vs brother as Jack Suicide defends against Mike Suicide!

Three teams of three will all be battling it out for the SWF 6 Man Titles as The Good Ol' Boys defend against Generation Gap and The Sex Connection & Silkky Smooth!

In a grudge match, SWF TV champ Petey Pizzazz will once again square off with Octane, but this time, in a Last Man Standing match, with the title on the line!

The Black Dragons will attempt to once again become SWF Tag Team Champions, and avenge the brutal attacks that put them out for two months as they meet the current champs, Cash Inc's Jahalaman Jaffe & Joe Money!

With the United States Title, as well as the pride of his country at stake, The Freedom Fighter will meet champion, Ayatollah Sheik in a Flag Match!

There is also an Endurance Battle Royal, featuring 13 SWF Superstars, the winner receiving a title shot, at whatever championship they choose, whenever they chose it!

And, the main event, with the SWF World title on the line, The Billion Dollar Man defends against Extreme Superstar! There is no time limit, one fall to a finish, falls count anywhere in the building , no count-outs, and no disqualifications, in this fight to the finish! And not only is the title at stake, this very company is as well!

Vance(still hyped): Let's not waste any more time, let's KICK IT OFF!

SWF 6 Man Title Match- The Good Ol' Boys vs Generation Gap vs The Sex Connection & Silkky Smooth
With this being such a big event, there are elaborate entrances, and The Good Ol' Boys (who enter first) come out flanked by a bevy of musicians, decked out in country getups, playing an assortment of country-styled instruments (banjos and all), doing a live instrumental version of the group's theme song! Next, Generation Gap arrive with musicians of their own, playing THEIR theme, and suddenly we have dueling bands! Soon after, Sex Connection's theme plays and they, along with Silkky and about ten lovely ladies come dancing their way down the aisle! There are so many people down there, and two different live bands, plus the Sex Connection's theme playing on the sound system! The two bands don't stop(they surround the ring), neither does the music on the sound system, so all six competitors, the girls, and even the ref decide to dance! The crowd is even enjoying themselves, as the camera catches many out there dancing as well! Finally, we get all the musicians and girls to leave and get Rory and Silkky to start. Again, the rules are that only two men fight at once, but they can tag anyone instead of just their partners, and it's under elimination rules. Silkky makes short work of Rory and pins him! As Charles enters in a rage, Silkky tags an unprepared Danny! Charles turns his focus and slingshots the unsuspecting Danny into the ring and begins his assault. It's no long before Charles pins Danny, eliminating him. The fast paced elimination continue as Beef Macho charges in, startling Charles (who probably assumed at someone from Danny's team would replace him), and nails him with the Beefy Bomb to leave only Tex Gentry for his team! Tex obviously refused to enter next, so X does instead, doing a decent job of wearing down Beef. Beef then makes the hasty retreat, tagging Randy Mann, who after some back and forth, pins X after the Body Shot. Jimmy Jam catches Randy off guard though, coming in with a spring board DDT! Randy nearly got pinned, but he fights to a corner, which is not his own, instead he tags Tex! Tex enters, rightfully worried, but he does a good job on Jimmy, and ends up hitting the Tennessee Jam to eliminate him! Generation Gap are all gone! Unfortunately for Tex, Silkky entered the ring as the count on Jimmy was being done, so he is right behind Tex after the pin! Tex turns right into the Silkky Slam, and is pinned! New champs!
*Winners and NEW SWF 6 Man Champions* The Sex Connection & Silkky Smooth

Post Match: The winners call out the girls to help them celebrate as their music plays. The ref joins them, and they all dance to the back!

We head backstage where The Billion Dollar Man talks to Jahalaman Jaffe and Joe Money. Joe & Jaffe don't seem worried about their match, and neither does BDM, who says that with no rules, he can do anything he wants, and intends to!

SWF Hardcore Title Match- Jack Suicide vs Mike Suicide
There are no fancy entrances here, both men enter with serious and focused looks on their faces. They wait for the bell, and don't rush right in, as they opt to shake hands and wish each other luck first. Right after the shake though, the two begin trading blows like heated rivals! Mike ends up overpowering his younger brother, then backs up, only to be speared! Jack then hammers away, letting out years of pent up emotions I'm sure. I must note, the crowd is really into this as well. Soon after being assaulted, Mike pushes his brother off, and gives him a look that shows his surprise, which soon turns to anger, and he goes out side to grab a steel chair! Jack simply waits, and ends up charging as Mike reenters, sending the chair into his face! Jack goes for the pin, but only gets two, he then opts to stomp his brother, and sets the chair up on his face before ascending to the top rope! Jack comes off the top, but nobody's home, as Mike has recovered, and he catches Jack with a chair shot on his way down! Mike tries to get the pin, but also only gets two. Mike decides then to keep hitting Jack with the chair, however, Jack blocks him, and they struggle with the object, before Jack pulls the chair down hard, sending his brother, who still was holding on tightly, throat first on it! Jack again goes for the cover, but again only gets two. Jack gets an idea, and goes outside to look under the ring , where he pulls out a ladder! As Jack pushes the ladder inside, Mike baseball slides it back into his face, sending him flying back onto the outside floor! Mike then does a plancha onto his fallen brother, nailing it. Mike then picks Jack up, and goes to whip him into the security barrier, but Jack reverses, and sends him in. Jack wastes no time in climbing the barrier on the other side of the aisle, waiting until the dazed Mike walks over to attack, then comes off with a flying clothesline! Jack seems slightly hurt from hitting the floor, and Mike recovers first, and he picks up Jack, who fires off some shots, so the two brawl up the aisle. They fight right to the end of it, where the plexiglass entry way is shut, and Mike rams him back first right into it! He keeps his hold and does it again! Mike's efforts secure him only a two count, and Jack somehow manages to fight up, but his back seems to bother him a bit. Angry at what Mike did, Jack tries Irish whipping his brother into the plexiglass, but is reversed, sending him into it again, back first, and even harder than before! Mike makes a big mistake though, and charges, but Jack ducks and Mike is launched like a bird hitting a windshield into the plexiglass! When Jack gets up, he drags Mike over to the right side of the stage, where production tables are. Mike starts to fight back and they brawl, bumping into the tables and eventually, Jack backdrops his brother onto one of the tables, breaking it, and having television monitors and such fall on him! Jack then looks to the gigantic entrance setup, and seems to have another idea, he pulls his brother up, and drags him closer to the setup, where there are piles of wires and two more tables. Jack beats his brother down, and puts him onto the tables, which are joined, and looks at the screen setup again, as if to measure it up, like he would jump off! Mike begins to stir, and fights off the tables, but Jack sends him back on them by hitting him with a monitor! Mike is really hurt, and is now bleeding! Jack then goes right up to the screens, (a good five feet in front of where Mike is laid out on the tables) but can't seem to find a way up to the top, then he looks to the far side, smiles and runs over there. The camera follows as we see a stairway on the end of the setup that was used to set the screens up, and Jack quickly climbs up, going out of sight. Soon though, he emerges, walking along the top of the screens, apparently on a walkway behind them. It's dangerous up there, a good 30 foot drop, and he aligns himself with his brother on the tables, and DOES A SUICIDE SPLASH OFF THE TOP OF THE SCREENS! Jack comes down perfectly, but oh no! Mike rolled off! Jack just went right through the tables! A bloody Mike pulls himself up, and throws Jack onto a wheeled equipment container, and wheels Jack right back to the ring! Mike rolls Jack inside, and grabs the chair that was there, and as Jack is miraculously moving , he crowns him HARD right in the head with it! Jack is completely gone now, and bloody to boot, but Mike isn't done yet. He sets his sights on the ladder, which is still laying around near the ropes and sets it up in the middle of the ring! He then climbs it, and jumps down onto Jack with a flying legdrop! Mike is hurt, and Jack was seemingly woken back up by the move, as he is the first to move. I don't know how, but both men finally get up, and club away at each other until they can barely stand. Jack strikes Mike hard, and sets the ladder up in the corner, and places Mike on it before doing a running splash into him! Jack finds the strength, and quickly sets the ladder up again, and puts his brother in position. Jack goes up, but Mike kicks the ladder, and Jack rides it down, falling all the way to the floor! The ladder though, bounces off the ropes, and Mike positions it, pulling himself up, and jumping off it, over to the outside onto Jack! Mike misses though and both men are out of it! Jack begins to move, and he reaches under the ring to grab another chair, and he waits for his brother to move, ready to level him, like Mike did to him earlier. Mike finally pulls himself to his knees, and his bloody face meets Jack's equally bloody one, and Jack raises the chair to hit him, but can't seem to do it. The two men stare at each other, with emotions taking over them, and Mike, crying utters the words "I'm sorry". Jack also begins to cry and drops the chair, and the two embrace, as the crowd applauds in respect. Jack helps Mike to his feet and the ref looks puzzled and the two inform him they've decided to stop. The Suicides' music begins to play and the two walk to the back, together.
*No Contest* Jack retains the title

SWF U.S. Title Flag Match- Ayatollah Sheik vs The Freedom Fighter
Sheik, as champion, enters first (in the SWF, the champ is always first), riding a CAMEL to the ring! Sheik is proudly waving his flag as he enters on the camel. In the ring , he celebrates with his flag , until, sound of the Star Spangled Banner is heard! Then red, white, and blue pyro goes off as The Freedom Fighter makes his way to the ring, waving the flag while riding in a TANK(coming from the side of the aisle, obviously not the plexiglass)! The crowd begins to chant "USA" and Sheik looks irate. When Freedom enters the ring , the ref takes the flag (as he did Sheik's), and hands it to a ring attendant, who puts it up on a pole in the corner. The rules for this match are, subdue your opponent enough to grab your country's flag , which is in "enemy territory", i.e. you opponent's corner. Once the bell rings, Freedom is all over Sheik, and after knocking him for a loop, he climbs to get the flag , but is stopped at the last minute by Sheik, who pulled out that infamous spike and jabbed Freedom in the thigh with it! Freedom falls off the ropes and to the canvas, where Sheik attacks, and attempts to jam the spike in Freedom's face! Luckily, Freedom fights up, and after knocking down Sheik, he gains possession of the spike! He looks to the crowd, who give him the ok to use it against Sheik, so he winds up, then clobbers him with it! Sheik rolls around in pain, bleeding, and Freedom then picks him up, nails the Star Spangled Slam and grabs the flag to win!
*Winner and NEW SWF U.S. Champion* The Freedom Fighter

SWF TV Title Last Man Standing Match- Petey vs Octane
Petey comes strutting down to the ring , while a female singer does a rendition of his theme, and backup dancers follow him! Petey himself is miked, and does some of the song himself, while dancing! For the finale, pyro goes off and glitter and confetti come raining down! When all the dancers and stuff leave, all we hear in the sound of a huge truck, and Octane comes riding down in his giant black tractor trailer, with his theme blaring from his speakers! As Octane stops, he gives the horn a toot and exits, ready to fight. Petey's jovial expression changed completely when Octane showed up! As soon as the bell sounds, Octane floors Petey with a running big boot! Petey is down, it might be over early, no wait, Petey got up at 6. Petey is still dazed, and is afraid to lock up with Octane, so he takes to the outside. But, having learned his lesson for their last encounter, Octane refuses to give chase and get caught in a trap, and that REALLY ticks Petey off, who throws a tantrum. Octane simply stares at Petey, who then signals someone, and JuJu comes running out! JuJu attacks from behind, having not been seen because Octane's truck was in the way. Petey then comes in, and the two pound away, but Octane fights back, and Petey leaves again, before Octane could touch him. Octane then fights JuJu, destroying him, and nailing the Empty Tank! Petey is scared as Octane glares at him as if to say "Is that all you got?" Petey quickly signals again, and here comes Yeti, his old partner! Petey is desperate here. Yeti hammers Octane as Petey cheers him on, but Octane fights HIM off, and gets the big man up for the Empty Tank! Petey begins to panic, and AGAIN signals someone, this time it's The Mercenary, who slowly walks to the ring. Petey might want a refund for Mercenary's services because, like the others, Octane gives him the Empty Tank, and he's done. Petey is beside himself, he doesn't seem to have another plan, so he reluctantly enters the ring. Petey tries to fight, gets in some shots, but Octane destroys him too, bouncing him around the ring like a superball. Octane gives Petey a chokeslam, and the ref counts to about 8 before Octane pulls Petey up again! The crowd is with Octane, chanting to see the Empty Tank, so he delivers, killing Petey dead. The crowd isn't satisfied, and want to see another one, so Octane obliges. The ref then counts, but this time Octane decides he's not done, and lifts Petey for a THIRD Empty Tank, and the crowd loves him for it. He gets Petey close enough to touch the stars, then holds him there for what seems like hours before damn near putting him through the ring! Petey couldn't have gotten up from one Empty Tank, let alone three, and Octane knew it, so he didn't bother waiting for the ref to count to 10 before hopping in his truck. As the ref counted 10, Octane fired up the truck, and with his music blaring from his speakers, he backed out of the arena, but stopped just before leaving and laid on the horn, as a signal to the fans, who respond with cheers.
*Winner and NEW SWF TV Champion* Octane

Once the ring is cleared, the announce tells us the Endurance Battle Royal is next, clarifying that two men will start, after one of them is eliminated, the next entrant replaces them, only two will fight at once, so it's more like a gauntlet, with the possibility of facing up to 12 opponents!

13 Man Endurance Battle Royal
We await the first man, who is Yeti! Yeti is probably still hurt from his failed run-in on the last match! His first opponent is.... Tripp! Poor Tripp, he's screwed. And yep, Yeti kills Tripp with a quick Giant Drop (Elimination # 1). Next up is, The Reverend! Rev actually has a decent go of it, blasting Yeti with some good shots before he too is hit with the Giant Drop (Elimination # 2). It just so happens that Reverend's buddy, Xavier Hawthorne III is next! Xavier attacks from behind, and gets in some good offense, but it's not long until Yeti hoists him up for the Giant Drop and pins him (Elimination # 3). Captain Fantastic is next! Fantastic has some trouble with Yeti, but he turns up the juice and fires back, and amazingly lifts Yeti and hits the Crime Stopper! Yeti is gone (Elimination # 4)! JuJu comes out next, and he and Fantastic have a heated battle, but JuJu fights down from a Crime Stopper attempt, and when Fantastic turns around, BAM! JuJu Driver! Fantastic is gone (Elimination # 5). Mercenary is next! Mercenary takes advantage of JuJu's fatigue from his battle with Fantastic, and lifts the big man for the Mercy Kill! JuJu is now eliminated (Elimination # 6). Tony Ramon is next, looking very angry (he hasn't been making the impact he probably hoped in the SWF) and he vents all his frustration on Mercenary, and eventually nails him with The Edge! Bye Mercenary (Elimination # 7). Tony looks ready for the next entrant, and, it's his buddy and Kings of the Street partner, The Don! Tony gives an apologetic shrug , then whips Don six ways from Sunday, before hitting The Edge! Don is now gone (Elimination # 8). Crazy Phil is next, and he is really ready tonight, shocking Tony (and the crowd) by his aggressive attack. Tony manages to fight Phil off, then nails him with The Edge. Phil got beat by that, and the fans boo Tony (Elimination # 9). Next out is Phil's friend, The Janitor, who the crowd gets behind. Janitor fights hard, and he hits the Clean Sweep out of nowhere! The crowd, and even Janitor himself seem stunned by that. In any case, Janitor quickly pins Tony for the pin (Elimination # 10)! The crowd pops big for the shocking win, and suddenly the next man, Boppo The Clown enters! Janitor, feeling the crowd support, makes short work of him, pinning him after the Clean Sweep (Elimination # 11). We all know Repo is next, but await to see who's gimmick he has today. Roddy Piper's music hits, and out comes Repo, wearing the famous Scottish kilt, and a shirt that says "Hot Repo!". Janitor allows him to enter and soak up the laughter from the crowd, but quickly hits him with the Clean Sweep for the win (Elimination # 12)!
*Winner* The Janitor

Angelica is backstage, ready to interview Extreme Superstar:

Angelica(serious): You are mere moments away, from putting the company you've built on the line, all for a chance to get your hands on The Billion Dollar Man, and take the SWF World title away from him. What is going through your mind right now?

Extreme(dead serious): In my life, I've had several dreams that I always hoped, one day, I might get the chance to accomplish, and this, the SWF is one of those dreams. Tonight is the biggest event, the magnum opus of that very dream, Extrememania, a wrestling extravaganza in a stadium jam packed with over 80,000 people, with me in the main event, MY time to shine. But instead of reveling in the moment, I have to cope with the fact that by night's end, it could all be over. That realization is something that has effectively killed any sort of joy I could pull out of tonight, and also (seriousness turns to rage) makes me absolutely...unequivocally...furious! Billion Dollar Man, you have no idea how far you've pushed me. You have pushed me far beyond the boundaries of sanity, and in the main event TONIGHT, you have got to deal with the consequences of your actions. You'd better believe with EVERYTHING on the line, I will NOT be taken down without absolute HELL being unleashed upon me! So, you'd better ask yourself, "Just how far am I willing to take this?" because, as far as I'm concerned, I'll take it to the ends of the earth, and BEYOND if necessary. To you, the SWF and the World title are merely acquisitions, but to me, they're my LIFE, and to take my life away from me, you'd better damn well be at your very best.

Extreme walks off, leaving a stunned Angelica, who can't even verbalize sending it back to the ring

SWF Tag Team Title Match- Cash Inc vs The Black Dragons
As Cash Inc's music hits, servants roll out the red carpet, and money (prop money of course) rains from the ceiling as Cash Inc walk down, each accompanied by a lovely lady on each arm. As the Black Dragon's theme plays they arrive on a float, that is made to look like a black dragon! The float even stops and spits fire! As the float hits ringside, the Dragons jump off, into the ring, and begin to fight their opponents! The ref allows them to brawl, as he realizes how important the match is, and Quow fights Joe on the floor, as Shadow dispels Jaffe, and then does a corkscrew plancha on him! Things finally settle when Cash Inc scurry back to inside the ring , and take control. Joe and Quow start things off, and after some beating , Quow fights up and hits him with an enziguri before tagging. Shadow comes in, a house of fire, and Joe quickly tags. Jaffe doesn't have much luck, but after Shadow slows down, Jaffe uses his technical prowess to assume the advantage. Shadow takes substantial punishment, and Jaffe decides to go for the Arabian Goodnight! As Jaffe sets the move up, Shadow backdrops him, and tags Quow, who enters in a rage. Quow takes out Jaffe, and Joe runs in to help his partner, but is cut off by a Flying Wizard Kick of Shadow's! Jaffe is now getting up, and he attacks the Dragons, only to be stopped by a double dropkick. Jaffe recovers quickly, but The Dragons are already a step ahead, and nail the Dragon Attack! Quow gets the pin, 1-2-3, and the crowd goes crazy!
*Winners and NEW SWF Tag Team Champions* The Black Dragons

Post Match: As their music hits and the crowd goes crazy, the Dragons celebrate, and in place of his usually blank expression, Quow has a smile! Quow seems touched by the fans reaction. Shadow is given the titles, and after he hands Quow his, he gives him a hug! Quow seems a little frazzled by the action, Shadow backs off, and then unmasks! The music stopped, and the crowd is now in stunned silence. Shadow isn't someone we all would know, but Quow certainly seems to know him. To describe him, Shadow is of Asian descent, probably around his late-20's, with dark eyes and short black hair. He also has an emotional expression, almost to the point of tears on his face, and seems to be conversing with Quow, who is still in shock. Quow shares the same look as Shadow, and does eventually cry, and so does Shadow, and the two once again embrace, this time, for quite sometime. The music strikes up again, and while the crowd doesn't know what's going on, they cheer anyways, seeing the two happy for whatever reason. Dean Bokerlund, who has rushed from the announce booth, enters the ring with a microphone, Dean then tries to converse with the Dragons:

Dean(confused): Hello? Can you understand me? (The Dragons nod, confused, and Dean signals to them to hold on one second, and he talks to the crowd) Fans, I'm going to get to the bottom of this, just bear with me, I have the Japanese interpreter Quow uses in the states coming. (the interpreter finally makes it to the ring) Ok, first off, congratulations on your win (The Dragons nod and smile). You understood that?

(Quow says something in Japanese to the interpreter, and Shadow says something as well)

Interpreter: They say, they both understand some basic English, but can't speak it too well yet.

Dean: Alright then. So, what we all want to know is, who The Shadow is, and what is your guys' relationship?

(The Interpreter reiterates in Japanese, and Quow gives a somewhat lengthy response)

Interpreter: He said, "The Shadow is actually my older brother. He ran away from home when I was 11 and he was 15, because our father was a sadistic man. I begged him to take me, but he said it wasn't safe. He had me report my father to the authorities instead, and eventually I went to live in a boy's home. There was no way to locate him, and I've been searching to find him for the past 12 years."

Dean(amazed): Wow. I really don't know what to say but, I'm happy that you are reunited and wish you the best of luck.

(The Interpreter reiterates and they respond by shaking Dean's hand, and we head back to Vance)

Vance(still in shock): The Shadow is really Quow Ling's brother? What a revelation! Tonight has been a night of settling scores and emotional moments, but it's not over yet. The main event is next, The Billion Dollar Man will face Extreme Superstar in an "Anything Goes" match. As Dean makes his way back to the booth here, and things get situated in the ring , let me recap just what is at stake in this match. The Billion Dollar Man is putting up his SWF World Title, while Extreme is putting the ownership of the SWF!

(Dean makes his way back to the booth)

Dean(putting on his headphones and taking his seat): Not only that Vance, but regardless of the outcome, Extreme will return to his announcing duties, and surrender his "hands on" role, as stated in the contract he signed. The big question is, if he loses tonight, will there be a show for him to announce on tomorrow?

Vance(in a more serious tone): Well, from what I've gathered by talking with Extreme earlier today, is that he still will have possession of the SWF Arena, and this new SWF Superdome facility, of course the names will have to be changed, but loses the SWF's TV contract to The Billion Dollar Man. He also said that regardless of whatever happens tonight, there WILL be a show tomorrow of some kind, he scored a special spot if needed on our current network, even if he only has us announcers and the five wrestlers BDM is willing to spot him.

Dean(also serious): Vance, we'll soon find out, the time has come for the main event. Let's go to the ring for the introductions.

Main Event: Anything Goes SWF World Title Match- The Billion Dollar Man vs Extreme Superstar
As BDM's music hits, the fans boo LOUDLY, and chant "Paula" as green lights begin to flash, and money rains once again from the ceiling. A green stretch limo then cruises down to the ring , with the likeness of a billion dollar bill, with BDM's face where a president's would usually be on any real money. The crowd continues to boo as the driver exits, and opens the door so BDM can emerge, decked out with a shiny green and black suit, with the SWF title wrapped around his waist. BDM, who is fully confident, plays up to the not-so-adoring crowd, who only respond by booing even louder, and chanting for Extreme. As BDM's music stops, Extreme's music begins to a GIGANTIC pop, and the lights go out, with the exception of flashing silver ones in front of the plexiglass, revealing a silhouette of BDM's opponent. The plexiglass slides open, but now all we see is smoke, as the fans chant Extreme's name. As the music hits the initial hard guitar riff, the smoke dissipates, and all the lights instantly come back on, as if jarred by the sound of the music, to reveal Extreme Superstar. Extreme's wrestling gear consists of black leather shorts, black wrestling boots & kneepads, and a black and red Extrememania baseball jersey, that has the event logo in red on the front, and reads "Extreme" on the name place, with the number 1 underneath it on the back. The lights flash frantically as the crowd just goes INSANE, while Extreme walks down the aisle, pumped up by the crowd, looking ready to go. Extreme hits the ring , and hops up on the ropes, while the fans continue cheering, and BDM stands in the corner, looking disgusted. Once the music stops, and both competitors are in corners, we get proper intros ala a boxing match. Then, BDM surrenders the title to the ref, who holds it up for all to see before the bell rings, which gets another huge ovation. Just as we hear the ding , Extreme charges BDM's corner, taking him down, and beating him to a pulp while the crowd jumps to their feet, cheering him on the whole way. Extreme then picks up BDM, and punches him some more before he clotheslines him over the top! Extreme, all pumped up, soaks in the frenzied crowd reaction. BDM looks taken aback as he recovers outside the ring , but Extreme doesn't bother letting him return to the ring , and he rushes out after him, taking the fight to him again. Extreme backs him up against BDM's limo, unloads on him, and then, asks the crowd if he should smash BDM's face into the car, obviously, they insist he does, so he obliges. BDM falls back, and Extreme goes to pick him up, but then the limo door opens up, and someone pulls Extreme inside, then slams the door shut! BDM sits hurt, but smiling, this was obviously a setup! The camera focuses on the limo, and the crowd is in confused silence, when the sunroof opens, and Extreme emerges, apparently pushed through, and having been beaten on. He also has a shocked look on his face, and we soon find out why, as none other than DEATH MACHINE pulls himself up through the sunroof! The crowd is totally stunned. BDM is then shown, laughing , and we hear him say "You said all bets were off!" Extreme shoots him a furious look, but returns his focus to Death Machine, who then attacks, so the two slug it out on top of the limo! BDM jumps up, and he tries to join in, but Extreme dodges a Death Machine kick, and BDM is struck, sending him crashing down hard onto the limo's roof, and he rolls off to the floor. Death Machine then turns around, only to be planted with a DDT, then pushed face-first back through the sunroof, leaving his legs dangling out of it! Extreme quickly jumps down, enters the limo, and starts it up! This might turn out like Halloween Hell! Extreme then backs the limo to the side of the arena, and drives right to the back as cameras follow, while BDM is shown, looking confused, recovering where he had fallen on the floor. The limo goes straight out to the back exit of the parking lot, but the car stops, and we see Death Machine's legs moving wildly as the camera finally closes in for a better look. We hear sounds of a struggle and Death Machine begins to pull himself up out of the sunroof, dragging Extreme with him! Extreme must've stopped to make sure the monster was subdued when he was grabbed! Death Machine now has Extreme by the throat, and he tosses him back, sending him down hard, inches away from hitting the front windshield! Death Machine then goes to continue his assault, but Extreme pulls himself up enough to punch him hard in the gut. Extreme fires some more shots to allow him time to get to his feet, and when he does, he plants a vicious boot to the chest on his enemy, and procures him in position for a piledriver! Extreme pulls back, and drives Death Machine directly through the front windshield! Extreme rolls off, and inspects the damage to himself, which is limited to back and head pains from his drop on the limo's roof, as evident by his holding those areas in pain. Extreme then gets on the front of the car, pulls the limp monster out of the wreckage, and lets him fall to the ground, with his mask mangled and bloody. Extreme then proceeds to punch and kick the monster, making sure he's down for good, and officials are summoned to take the man away, Extreme declares, "This time, forever!". Extreme then makes his way hastily back to the arena, so he can continue his match, looking LIVID. Extreme reenters, much to the delight of the crowd, and the dismay of BDM, who is now standing in the ring , having watched the whole situation unfold on the screens. Extreme attacks again, but this time, not as powerful as before, and he is overtaken by a low blow. BDM then grabs his head, and slams him down to the mat! With his earlier injury, Extreme writhes around in pain, and BDM goes for a quick pin, but Extreme kicks out. BDM then opts to repeatedly slam Extreme's head into the canvas, and punch him. Extreme is now weakened, so BDM tries another pin, only getting two, and he's not happy. He exits the ring , grabs a chair from ringside, and returns to ram it into his opponent's sternum several times! Extreme rolls around, both in pain, and hopes to evade BDM. BDM backs away with the chair still in hand, not out of sympathy, but to measure up and try to nail Extreme with one hard shot! His plan works, as Extreme makes it to one knee, BDM hits him flush, right on the top of the head and part of the face! Extreme goes down, and is now bloody! BDM then goes for another pin, but somehow, Extreme kicks out, not with much authority however. BDM decides to keep beating on Extreme, punching him in the head, really opening up that wound on his head, until blood covers his entire face. The fans rally behind Extreme, and BDM lifts the half-conscious Extreme partly off the mat, then smacks him around, trying to get him up. When Extreme fails to do so, BDM pulls him up himself, then slaps on the Billion Dollar Dream! BDM violently shakes his bloody foe in the hold, but, as the ref closes in to check if Extreme is out of it, Extreme suddenly springs to life, reaching up, grabbing BDM's head, and dropping down into a jawbreaker! BDM falls hard, and the crowd goes nuts, but Extreme used up most of his remaining energy for the move, and he too falls back to the canvas, struggling to pull himself up using the ropes. He manages to get to a standing position, leaning against the ropes for support, as BDM gets up a few feet away. Extreme then, once again, out of nowhere, rushes him, and scores with a running DDT! BDM is out cold after the move, but Extreme crumpled to the ground as well, and he drags himself over to put his hand on BDM for the pin attempt. 1....2... NO! BDM got his shoulder up, and Extreme pulls his hand off, and gets to his knees as the crowd cheers and does the "rumble" feet stamping thing to try and revitalize him. Extreme feels the energy, and he smacks the canvas hard with both hands, and takes in a deep breath before rising to his feet. He then nods his head and raises his hands in the classic "ready to fight" stance. When BDM gets back to his feet, he is met with a hard right hand that sends him right back to the canvas! BDM gets up again, and is hit with another, and down he goes again! BDM comes back up with a right of his own but Extreme ducks it, and whips him into the corner. The crowd cheers the revival of Extreme, and he rushes after BDM as fast as he can, nailing him with a corner splash! Extreme is REALLY feeling it now, and sends BDM into the opposite corner, and charges once more, this time taking a diving leap from a few feet to hit the splash! He does it two more times, making it once in every corner! BDM is pretty out of it, so Extreme sets him up in the middle of the ring , and goes to the top rope, and comes off from the far side, flying gracefully, but BDM moves! Extreme just smacked the canvas like roadkill, and BDM rolls back over to try for the pin, but NO! Extreme gets the shoulder up! BDM looks to be beside himself, and he holds his head in frustration before firing whatever offense he could on the downed man, punches, stomps, fist drops, knee drops, elbows, the works. He then jumps on for the pin, hooks the leg roughly and screams "STAY DOWN!" as the referee counts 1.....2.....NO! Extreme kicked out! It wasn't all that forceful but he did! BDM then tries some slams and other assorted offense, practically throwing his entire arsenal at him, then tries another pin, but again, Extreme kicks out! BDM throws a full-on tantrum after that, and the crowd once again cheers Extreme to get up, while BDM yells for them to shut up. BDM then piledrives Extreme and goes for another pin, which is also unsuccessful. As BDM pounds the mat in anger, Extreme, like rising from the dead, slowly rises up, fired up like never before, and waits for BDM to turn and see him. The crowd loses it even more having seen this, and that's when BDM turns to see Extreme, standing bloody, and MEGA pissed! BDM looks like he's staring at a ghost, and Extreme just FLOORS him with a right hand! Extreme then runs swiftly to the far corner, and measures BDM as he gets up. When his dazed nemesis is to his feet, WHAM! He kills him dead with a spear! Extreme, incredibly energized, then jumps around the ring , and the whole arena comes to it's feet! But, then, out of nowhere, BDM's Cash Inc buddies run from the back! Extreme sees them coming , and with the adrenaline surging through his veins, he dodges their attacks and fires back with vigorous right hands, then sends them sailing back out over the top rope! As that goes on, BDM seems to have recovered, waits to attack, then, when Extreme turns to him, he blasts him with his Billion Dollar Bomb! The crowd gasps, as Extreme has been taken out, and BDM smiles confidently, waiting for what will most assuredly be the three count. 1-2-NO! EXTREME JUST KICKED OUT! The crowd is electric now, and BDM is frustrated, not knowing what it will take to beat his opponent, then much to his dismay, Extreme rises again! Extreme doesn't just get up, he JUMPS to his feet, then charges a flabbergasted BDM, rocking him with some of the most spectacular right hands I've ever seen, before KILLING him with the Light's Out! But he's not done yet, Extreme then sets up BDM in the middle of the ring , and goes up to the top rope from a far corner, where he comes off with a MASSIVE flying elbow! The crowd is just bonkers, but Extreme isn't ready to end it yet, so he gets up, and cups the hand to his ear, the fans know what he means! He goes to all four corners and cups the hand to his ear, with each side giving a louder ovation than the last, then comes off the ropes with the ULTIMATE, SUPER, SUPREME, LEGDROP! He immediately goes for the pin, 1...2...3! He did it! The music strikes up instantaneously and everyone in the arena is jumping up and down! Pyro goes off and Extreme holds the belt up in celebration! That right there was the SWF Match of the Year, the energy was just off the charts, and both men went at it with everything they had.
*Winner and NEW SWF World Champion* Extreme Superstar

Post Match: As Extreme celebrates, the announcers, then the rest of the SWF crew (not including the heels), come out to celebrate with Extreme, and they raise him on their shoulders. Extreme then jumps down, and signals to cut the music, shaking his head, as if they played the wrong music, then signals them to start the music up again, but this time, we hear Real American! Extreme then smiles and nods his head, that's the music he wants! The crowd goes crazy as Extreme straps the belt on, and does all the Hogan poses as more pyro goes off.

The Road to Extrememania
The Road to Extrememania

We open with a video package, which gives us out first look at the SWF Superdome, well the outside of it, and we see the sign on it, that is in huge, neon blue letters, and one of those screens underneath that tells of the events, which reads "Extrememania March 26". Then we see a montage that runs down all the matches for Extrememania, and from Extreme & Billion Dollar Man's recent public appearances (they each were on some talk shows) before cutting to the SWF Fan Fair, which is in some giant facility, and is set up like a museum, with various booths and displays. Clips are shown with various SWF talents signing autographs, and just hanging out with fans, then we go live, where a stage is set up like those pre-boxing match press conferences, which is adorned with big posters for Extrememania. There are two long tables (with mics in front of each seat), set up, with a podium set up in the middle. Also, there is a scale, it looks like there will be a weigh in! There is a huge array of press and fans entering for the conference, showing how big the SWF has gotten. Vance McMillian is apparently the emcee for the evening, and he talks to us from off the side of the stage.

Vance(hyped): Welcome to the SWF special broadcast, The Road to Extrememania! We are glad you could all join us! We have fans and media from all over the globe on hand, ready for Extrememania, a mere 6 days away! We're here LIVE from the jam packed SWF Fan Fair, where tonight, we will hear comments from the participants of the Extrememania matches, and, on this very stage, minutes from now, SWF Champion The Billion Dollar Man and Extreme Superstar will have their weigh in, coming face to face one last time before their epic main event match! Without further ado, let me hand it over to my colleague, Dean Bokerlund, who is right down in the middle of the madness of SWF Fan Fair's main floor, Dean?

Dean(also amped): Thanks Vance. With the biggest SWF PPV right around the corner, what are those men involved thinking? We're about to find out! First up, the participants of the Endurance Battle Royal!

We see a short video package, with Dean doing a voice over about each participant as they are shown. Dean has the participants come on camera one by one to interview them. All proclaim (Yeti merely makes a throat cutting gesture) victory, and make it clear that they will challenge for the SWF World title should they win. JuJu says he will win since he dominated the last match of it's kind. Reverend and Xavier say that when they get the title shot the winner receives, and win the World title, they'll clean the SWF up, since they will be the flagship stars, and have real power. Repo is dressed like The Rock (with people's eyebrow even painted on), and steals all Rocky's catch phrases, saying he'll be "the people's champion".

We cut to a video package of the 6 Man Title match participants. When Dean interviews them, The Good Ol Boys predict to retain. Generation Gap say they'll regain the titles, and Jimmy talks about how they'll all celebrate by riding around town in his DeLorean while they blast Queen's We Are The Champions. Silkky Smooth & Sex Connection warn their opponents that they are a better team than they'd expect.

Now, we see a video for the brother vs brother Hardcore title match, with champion Jack Suicide facing his older brother Mike Suicide. They each say that being brothers won't stop them from doing whatever it takes to win. When Dean asks them each about this match tearing apart their family and tag team, they both say they have an understanding, nothing that goes on in the ring is personal.

We get a video, covering the whole Petey vs Octane feud. Octane doesn't say anything in his interview, but gives a thumbs down (refereeing to what will happen to Petey) and walks away. Petey is pretty upset, and he tells Octane that he'll pay for tormenting him.

We get a Ayatollah Sheik vs Freedom Fighter video. In the interview, Sheik runs down America, and says what a pleasure it will be to beat Freedom in front of 80,000 Americans live, and have his home country watching on PPV. Freedom says he'll regain the title for his country, and silence Sheik once and for all.

We then get a Black Dragons vs Cash Inc Video. Cash Inc basically act like jerks, and assure victory. Through the aid of a translator, Quow promises revenge, while Shadow nods in agreement.


Dean: Well, there you have it, but now, back to Vance, where the press conference is about to begin! Vance?

We cut back to Vance, who is at the podium. All the media is now there, with cameras clicking, flashbulbs going off, and fans are cheering.

Vance(to the crowd): Are you ready?(crowd cheers loudly) Let's KICK IT OFF! (fans cheer and we go to Angelica who is standing by the scale, she is apparently the announcer for tonight)

BDM's music strikes up, and Angelica begins his introduction:
Angelica: Introducing first, the SWF World Heavyweight Champion, originally hailing from Boston Massachusetts, he's the leader of Cash Inc, a multi-billionaire, and the first and only SWF Champion in history, The Billion Dollar Man!

The crowd boos loudly as BDM saunters out, accompanied by green lights and glitter, wearing a flashy green suit. He makes his way to the scale, where he hands over the SWF title, and is weighed by some unknown crew person.

Angelica( reading the weight): His official weight, 246 lbs!

BDM steps off, takes his title, and taunts fans with it as he goes to his seat at one of the tables. The lights then turn off as Extreme's music hits, sending the crowd into a frenzy, and when they come back on and Extreme slowly enters, wearing light blue jeans, a yellow sweater, a black leather jacket, and backwards white Tennessee Titans fitted hat. He plays up to the crowd, and even goes to BDM's table and getting in his face as Angelica gives his intro:

Angelica: And the challenger, the owner of the SWF, originally hailing from Key West Florida, the Innovator of Extreme, ladies and gentlemen, the one, the only, Extreme Superstar! (The crowd gets even louder than they were before)

Extreme becomes all business and steps on the scale and weighed.

Angelica(reads the weight): His official weight, 205 lbs!

With both men seated, Vance then opens the floor for questions from the press. The first one is directed to Extreme, about how popular the SWF has become, and what does the future hold, in terms of expansion:

Extreme: I'm very pleased at how huge the SWF has become, taking wrestling once again to the forefront of popular culture, especially since it was huge gamble in building two arenas, and all the expenses we paid to ensure a top notch program. To help recoup the funds it took making both the SWF Arena & Superdome, we are going to start renting them out to other events, providing us with a nice influx of cash, and boosting the local economy. We are also getting all our ideas together for merchandising, Extrememania is really going to be a big test for us, as initial merchandise, shirts, hats, jerseys, and magazines commemorating the event will be for sale at the show, and have done well already at Fan Fair. If things go well, we plan to start with one shirt for every wrestler, and various other products will be made as well. Also, the official SWF website, that had been around since the beginning, just got a complete overhaul, and the merchandise will be available there as well. Lastly, fans should be happy to know that videos and DVDs of past PPVs are already in the making, the first is set for release soon. Being a DVDphile myself, I'm personally making sure these things are packed with extras, so you will all be very happy with the results. (applause from everyone)

The next question is for The Billion Dollar Man, a reporter asks what it's like being the hottest villain in wrestling today:

BDM: It's been interesting, I never thought it'd get this big, but wouldn't you know, I get asked on talk shows, as a matter of fact, I did one last night, and will probably do some more. I have done a few magazine covers that will be out soon, some interviews, lectures, the works. And, if Hollywood came calling, I might just be willing to do some TV and movies, hint, hint. (that gets a nice laugh)

The next question is for Extreme, asking about WWE, and his thoughts on them:

Extreme: I love WWE, I grew up watching it, and still do religiously every week, and order all the PPVs. It's the reason I'm even here, if it weren't for Vince McMahon, my idol Hulk Hogan, and all the other people who were responsible for me being a fan, the SWF couldn't exist. I don't try and compete with WWE, and certainly don't want to steal their talent, or try and run Vince out of business. I would LOVE to work WITH them, and we could do some great stuff together. If Vince ever wanted to set something up, I'd be down with working his shows, or setting up a talent exchange like what they did with ECW, that would be a dream come true.

The next question is for BDM, asking about his thoughts on WWE, and his gimmick:

BDM: Well, I love WWE, Ted Dibiase was my favorite wrestler, so I modeled myself after him, like Extreme did with Hulk Hogan, which puts our whole match in much better perspective. I agree with Extreme on a possible working relationship with WWE, as would every other SWF wrestler if you asked them, we were all fans, who grew up watching them, and were influenced by it.

We get another question for BDM, about the boss, Extreme Superstar being the most popular guy in the company:

BDM: He's the man I guess, he just has IT, boss or not. He'll tell you that he's a wrestler at heart, but he created the SWF because he saw the chance to make his dream of being a top star come true through it, and it worked. He might not own it for long though. (the crowd oohs, and Extreme gives a look that says " we'll see about that", then begins to talk)

Extreme: You got a nice little shot in there, Paulie....

BDM(mad): DON'T CALL ME PAULIE! (The crowd then obviously chants "Paulie! Paulie!" as Extreme goads them on)

Extreme: That is your real name, is it not? I find it silly to have to call you "The Billion Dollar Man".

BDM(still a little mad): My name is PAUL, not Paulie, you can call me Paul, I HATE Paulie, people used to call me that as a kid, and I hated it then too!

Extreme(getting a kick out of this): Ok, sorry PAUL, there, better? (BDM says yes) Geez, it's not like I called you PAULA or anything (a small "Paula" chant starts up, and Extreme once again eggs the fans on, as everyone but BDM laugh)

BDM(fuming, to the fans, who continue the chant): SHUT UP! (The crowd begins to quiet, as Extreme sarcastically admonishes them, and they laugh)

Extreme(laughing): Wow, I haven't heard that chant since Paul Orndorff was wrestling. Seriously though, you're a good sport BDM, there I called you BDM, happy? Back to the purpose of why we're here, anyone else have a question for either of us?

Vance: I'm afraid we are running out of time, so why don't we get your final thoughts, BDM, you first.

BDM(serious): You might be laughing now Extreme, but when I leave you laying face down, bloody, injured, and without your precious SWF, you'll be feeling a little worse. And don't think it won't happen, I've done it before, I've left better men than you broken down, jobless...crying their eyes out like little babies. Oh, and a word to the wise, ANYTHING goes, so you'd better be ready, and watch you back!

Vance(taking it all in): Extreme

Extreme(serious, with some anger): There isn't much left to say. This Friday, Extrememania, it's all on the line. I'm ready to go, and my opponent seems to be as well, so expect nothing but the best, two men going at it with all they've got, to see who is the better man. All the bad blood is gonna get spilt, but only one man will be left laying in it, and as far as I'm concerned, it's NOT going to be me.

The two men stand up, and get face to face, with security getting in between them to prevent a fight, as we fade out.

Wrestlemania (su)XX Review
Wrestlemania XX Review
Remember, these are MY opinions, so don't get too angry if you don't agree, and if that's the case, write your own fucking review.

Match 1- WWE U.S. title match: John Cena beat Big Show to win the title
Nothing here, except I liked the end, when Cena threatened to use his chain to KO Big Show, then tossed it away, and used his custom "Word Life" knux when the ref was distracted. That was pretty clever. I must say Cena's gimmick doesn't have the same effect as a face, I for one don't want to cheer wannabe thugs, or real ones for that matter.

Match 2 Fatal 4 Way World Tag Team title match: Booker T/RVD retain vs La Resistance, Jindrak/Cade & The Dudley Boyz
Pretty, dull, as expected, but I'm glad Booker/RVD won, every other team sucks. The general consensus about the still new Booker/RVD teaming is that their combo theme sucks, which I totally must agree with. Besides, Booker should have never switched from his familiar Harlem Heat theme, that he has used since the dawn of time, and fusing his crappy WWE Originals theme with RVD's makes it suck even worse.

Non-match shenanigans: We get some unfunny Moolah/Mae Young joke that ceased making people laugh in 1999. Sadly, they drug Bobby Heenan & Mean Gene Okerlund into it, kinda negating any seriousness of Bobby's reason of being at the show, his WWE Hall of Fame induction appearance. But hell, Pete Rose got in too, so why not just bury the whole thing? Thanks WWE.

Match 3- Christian beat Chris Jericho
Wow, Trish turned on Jericho. I suspected it, but was pretty sure they were gonna go the other way, however this might be better. Trish is pretty kick ass as a heel, and hopefully she dyes her hair black as many hope to go along with the turn. This might even help Christian get over, and Y2J can be the sympathetic face, possibly aligning with a woman of his own, and getting her over. Didn't see anything too special about the match, but like the possibilities of what comes next for all involved in this angle.

Non-match shenanigans: The Rock said something I found funny, yes, it's true. He told Lillian Garcia to stop checking him out, telling her "The buffet is closed" haha. See, the guy could be funny when he strays from the tired catchphrases, and just goes with the flow. We also see WWE legends Don Muraco & Jimmy Snuka hanging out backstage, which was awesome. The two were bitter rivals back in the day, so it was cool to see them just chilling, when we fans picture them at each other's throats.

Match 4- Evolution (Ric Flair, Randy Orton & Batista) beat The Rock & Mick Foley (Rock N' Sock Connection)
WWE made the right move I think, Rock N' Sock had nothing to gain from winning, but Randy & Batista could use such a boost from picking up the "W". Flair was mega over, even as the heel, with the MSG crowd cheering him on, goin so far as to boo The Rock when they were facing each other. Flair even attempted a People's Elbow on The Rock! Too bad Rock blocked it, that'd have been sweet. Not too thrilled by the match, but Flair, and the respect the MSG crowd has for him were bright spots.

Non-match shenanigans: We get the Hall of Fame inductees to come out and take their much deserved bows, but the fans didn't seem too enthused for most of them, which pissed me off. Show some god damned respect. Guys like Sgt. Slaughter, Greg Valentine, and mention of the late Junkyard Dog got nice reactions though, only because they are well known, or have been around forever. Pete Rose also got booed loudly for his undeserved induction, but WWE probably couldn't give a fuck, they got their press off him, so screw us fans who PAY to see the product. Yet another thing WWE does for it's fans, they do EVERYTHING for us you know.

Match 5- Playboy Evening Gown match: Torrie & Sable beat Stacy & Miss Jackie
I won't waste much of my time on this horseshit, that we had to see on WRESTLE FUCKING MANIA. The Playboy name was a ploy, no nudity, sorry horny 13 year olds.

Match 6- WWE Cruiserweight Open for the Cruiserweight title: Chavo Guerrero retains
This was just a jumble of Cruiserweights in a gauntlet match that lasted only a few minutes. not much else to say, WWE doesn't care about Cruisers, so they never allow them time to do anything good.

Match 7- Goldberg beat Brock Lesnar, Stone Cold Steve Austin was referee
The match sucked with vigor and zest never seen before, but the crowd reaction KICKED ASS. The fans were ALL OVER Lesnar, everyone knew about his plans to leave WWE for a shot at the NFL. That was good for Goldberg, since his contract is up, and he too is leaving, but has been in talks to return at some point, so the people kinda forgot about him going too. Well, at least at first. The fans were chanting "You sold out", then sing the "Na na na na hey, hey, hey, goodbye" song at Brock! That ruled. Then, they got on Goldy's case, telling him that he sucks, and, since he was the only one NOT leaving, they popped huge for Austin! HAHAHA! What a slap in the face that the REF gets a bigger pop than the wrestlers, MSG fans can be so cruel, I love them. Brock was PISSED at the reaction, which made it all the more sweet. Brock & Goldy basically stalled for like an eternity, and the fans just switched their chants to "Boring", and the REAL painful chant to hear "This match sucks". MSG would outdo themselves as the match actually got underway, and they littered it with continued chants, then called out for someone who'd actually entertain them "Hogan"! FUCK YEAH MSG! My thoughts exactly. Too bad WWE MISSED THE FUCKING BOAT AND RUINED THE SHOW BY NOT HAVING HOGAN BE THERE. FUCK YOU VINCE! If you sense the bitter tone this review is written in, Hogan not being at the show is a HUGE reason why, I mean MSG was BEGGING for it, and people were expecting it. But no, stupid shit grudges prevented Hogan from being there, despite him saying he wanted to be. There is NO fucking excuse for this bullshit. Hogan is the reason I, and many others are even fans, and HIS talents helped Wrestlemania even make it to # 20. We all figured WWE would do the right thing and at least have him, or maybe someone like Savage as well, come out for 2 GOD DAMN MINUTES, and blow the roof off the place, then leave, having satisfied us diehards who line their pockets. The ONLY possible things WWE could do to make me happy after this is get Hogan back at some point (he WILL be, mark my words), and secure Bret Hart for Backlash next month. WWE had better not fuck that up, I've had to put up with a LOT of shit over the years, and stayed loyal, but THIS is where I draw the line. For the first time EVER, I'm FUCKING EMBARRASSED to be a professional wrestling fan. You still want to talk about this match? I'm done, it sucked, let's move on.

I'm too upset to go more in-depth, so here is the other stuff.

Scotty 2 Hotty & Rikishi retained the WWE Tag belts vs WGTT, APA & The Bashams- It sucked.

Victoria beat Molly to retain the Women's title, Molly, as per stipulations, has her head shaved- I didn't think it would happen, it did though, but Molly is still a very attractive woman. Match was kinda crappy.

Eddie Guerrero beat Kurt Angle to retain the WWE title- Good, not great.

The Undertaker beat Kane- We got RIPPED THE FUCK OFF, it was same Biker Taker w/ a hat, trenchcoat, old music, and Paul Bearer. He did use the Tombstone, but he did that before sometimes so YIPPEE! I wasted money just to see this, and WWE blew it.

Chris Benoit won a Triple Theat match vs HHH, & Shawn Michaels to win the World title- Congrats to Benoit, he deserved it. Best match of the show, but almost all of them sucked anyways.


I hope this fucking PPV bombs so bad. Goodnight.

Wrestlemania Predictions!
My Wrestlemania Predictions

This Sunday, we will see Wrestlemania 20, which seems to have a few decent outings lined up, but lacks the big star-quality matches that separate it from every other PPV. All will be forgiven by me if Hulk Hogan does show up, but if not, the show is not worth the 50$ price tag. But, since I can't bear to miss out on Wrestle-Freakin'-Mania, I'm ordering the show. I have faith WWE will deliver at least a few big surprises, like last year, NOBODY knew Roddy Piper was going to show, so I'll try to stay positive. Now, let's look at the card, and I'll give my predictions.

Brock Lesnar vs Goldberg- Stone Cold Steve Austin is special guest referee
I say this is more than likely the REAL main event, despite how many matches WWE can pimp as a main event, the lat match of the show is the true one. I really couldn't give a crap about this, Brock & Goldberg suck, and Austin is pretty limited in this role. I'd bet the farm on Brock to win, Goldberg is on his way out of WWE.
*Prediction* Brock Lesnar, with Austin stunning each guy at some point.

World title match: Triple-H(c) vs Shawn Michaels vs Chris Benoit
Say what you will about HHH, he is gonna give it his all here, and him and HBK have a great chemistry. This is actually looking really good to me, with no clear cut winner, you can make a strong case for each guy. Less though for Benoit, with Backlash being held in his hometown or Edmonton Alberta Canada, he might win the gold there instead. Then again, he could always be the champ coming home, but if I was booking, I'd hold off for the epic hometown title win, and rumored return of Bret Hart that would cause the wrestling world to shit it's collective pants. HHH is probably going to be gone for movie roles, so HBK is the most likely winner from my vantage point. I also want to note that I'd love to see this as the real main event.
*Prediction* Shawn Michaels

The Dead Man Rises: The Undertaker (old school Undertaker no less) vs Kane
It's been practically confirmed that `Taker will show up with old manager Paul Bearer, who at last sight, was at odds with `Taker, and Kane is his son. That aside, there is absolutely NO POSSIBLE WAY `Taker is losing, and his `Mania undefeated streak will be 12-0.
*Prediction* The Undertaker, and in mere minutes

WWE title match: Eddie Guerrero(c) vs Kurt Angle
Should be good, and Eddie is just getting started, so he's like a 100% lock to win.
*Prediction* Eddie Guerrero

Playboy Evening Gown match: Torrie Wilson & Sable vs Miss Jackie & Stacy Kiebler
If this goes more than 3 minutes, I'll be pissed, it's HUGE waste of time, and the chances for actual nudity are slim here.
*Prediction* Miss Jackie & Stacy Kiebler, hopefully ending this issue nobody cares about

WWE U.S. title match: Big Show(c) vs John Cena
Show could be awesome if he got into the shape he was in early on in his WCW career, and Cena is being groomed for big things, so he's a lock here. For the record, I don't get the big deal with Cena, I think his gimmick is lame, but he has real potential.
*Prediction* John Cena

The Cruiserweight Open: Battle royal for the Cruiserweight title, with Chavo Guerrero(c), Rey Mysterio & others
It could be good, but it's obvious anyone other than Chavo or Rey are only filler. I say Rey wins.
*Prediction* Rey Mysterio

Handicap match: The Rock & Mick Foley (Rock `N Sock Connection) vs Evolution's Ric Flair, Randy Orton & Batista
I don't like Rock & Sock, or Randy Orton on the other team for that matter, but despite my better judgement, I say the heels will win, since they could use the rub from part-timers like Foley & Rock. But, if WWE's age old "person who gets the last shot in before the PPV loses", Rock `N Sock will win.
*Prediction* Ric Flair, Randy Orton, & Batista

WWE Women's title match: Victoria(c) vs Molly Holly- If Molly loses, she gets her head shaved
Victoria rules, but Molly ain't losing her hair.
*Prediction* Molly Holly

Christian vs Chris Jericho
Vitamin C EXPLODE! Sorry, easy joke, but it reeks of the Mega Powers feud. Jericho is another lock to win, since he is the Hogan, and Christian is in the evil Macho Man role. The faces always win in the big Wrestlemania match.
*Prediction* Chris Jericho, and Trish finally professes her love to him

World Tag Team title match: RVD & Booker T(c) vs La Resistance vs The Dudley Boys vs Jindrak & Cade
RVD & Booker just won the titles, and debuted a fusion theme of their singles entrance songs, they are probably going to be around a bit longer.
*Prediction* RVD & Booker T

WWE Tag Team title match: Scotty 2 Hotty & Rikishi vs APA vs WGTT vs The Basham Brothers
This will SUCK. I hope the only good team here, WGTT (the World's Greatest Tag Team) win the gold. I must also point out Rikishi (when he isn't shoving his ass in people's faces and wearing thongs) & Faarooq are cool, but on their own.
*Prediction* WGTT

Other Happenings: The Hall of Fame inductees better get their moment to wave to the MSG fans, the house THEY (most of them) helped build. I'm looking forward to seeing how the MSG fans will respond, since they can say thanks to these greats. I just hope that Piper & Hogan might show up at some point, and I guarantee the roof would blow right off the Garden, and the show would be more than worth the hefty price.

That's all for now, check back after Wrestlemania, sometime Monday where you'll see my recap and thoughts of the show.

Random Stuff! YAY!
Random Stuff, again?!

Yeah, I'm bored, and have decided to make these things a bit more frequent. So, let's do it!

After once again viewing the film Ali G Indahouse, I realize how much that deserves a spot on my favorite movies list. I think Ali G, real name Sacha Baron Cohen, and all his assorted characters are about the funniest things I've seen in a long time, perhaps ever. HBO is said to be giving Ali another season, which is good news for me, since I love that show more than just about anything. Sadly though, when I tuned in to watch the season premiere of The Sopranos, and they advertised all of HBO's programing coming up, they didn't mention the fabulous return of Da Ali G Show. But, from what I gathered, it is slated to return sometime this summer, so maybe advertisements will begin somewhere soon down the road.

Since I brought it up, let's talk Sopranos. Last season was kind of slow, some might say boring, but I know it was all setting up for the mayhem of this season. Think of last season as the calm before the storm, since this one already has me intrigued by a developing feud. Paulie hasn't been himself since getting busted, and going to jail last season, which has caused some tension between him & Christopher. The two almost came to blows within minutes of the episode, then again later, at which time, they accidentally killed some poor waiter. Then, the next day, Paulie calls to "bury the hatchet", and Christopher agrees. I for one, don't buy the truce one bit, I think Paulie has something up his sleeve. This is like a good wrestling feud, it begins to brew, they feign friendship, and BAM, the heel turn. Not that there are many true faces (wrestling lingo for good guy if you didn't know) on the Sopranos, I think Chrissy boy is going to become one by default when Paulie does his metaphorical heel turn. Then, there's Tony & Carmela. They split up last season, at which time Carm told him of her crush on Furio, the Italian solider Tony picked up on a trip to Naples. Furio also felt the same for Carmela, and he took off to avoid doing anything, despite having the chance to kill Tony by pushing his head right into a big saw. Tony makes it clear in this ep that there is a hit out on Furio, should any of his boys see him. With his marriage dissolving, Tony turns to his shrink, Dr. Melfi, who he stopped seeing last season, and always had a thing for. Tony gets stalker-esque, trying to procure a date with Melfi, but she turns him down. Meanwhile, there is a bear loose in the Soprano neighborhood, where only Carmela and Anthony Jr. now reside, and had some run-ins with the animal. Tony sends his people to watch after the fam, armed with a gun, a chore he does himself as the episode ends. This season looks to be good, and other plots are starting to develop, as Tony is prodded to try and kill the big boss, who is near death in the hospital after a stroke, old mobsters finally getting out of jail, and hopefully, Furio's return. I hope Furio does come back, along with the baddest old school Italian gangsters he can find, carrying all kinds of guns, and try to claim his woman. It'd be cool to see Furio and his crew go to war with Tony & the boys, but since this is no longer going to be the final season, it'd have to be the cliffhanger for this one. Another suitable season ender would be the return of Pussy, the beloved character who got "whacked" at the end of season 2. He could be a zombie! Zombie Pussy could team up with Furio to take out Tony, or have his own un-dead army to make a 3 way war. If that happens, The Sopranos might just become the best show ever made. I mean, who would see that coming, or be able to predict the winner of the war? I'd have just about everyone die until it's only Zombie Pussy, Tony, & Furio left, who then battle in hand to hand combat. Maybe Carmela can run-in to help her true love win, and that love is.....ZOMBIE PUSSY! SWEEEEEEEEERRRRRRVE!!!!!!!!! Yeah, that would rock so hardcore.

I was watching MTV2's 22 Greatest Voices of the Past 20 Years special, and it REALLY pissed me off. With MTV, or any of their subsidiaries, it's all politics and glad-handling, since they only picked people they felt either obligated to, or wanted to pimp for the network's benefit. I don't mind a pop star like Christina Aguilera making it, since she actually has an incredible voice, but MARIAH CAREY WAS # 1?! WHAT THE FUCK?!!!! Have they ever tried LISTENING to her voice? When she's not doing that seriously horrendous high pitched wail, she is singing like she can't breathe right or something, or whispering. Well, give that skank a Breathe Right strip, or stop telling secrets and GO THE HELL AWAY. Whitney Houston, who was like # 3 or 4, should have gotten the top spot, or about ANYONE ELSE WHO HAS EVER SANG. Also, somehow Jewel made the list, she sucks. Celine Dion made it too, but some people like her, so that made sense, but I still think she sucks. Kurt Cobain also made it, but let's face facts: he didn't sing all that well. At least 10 guys from his style of music alone sing MUCH better than he ever did. Eddie Vedder comes to mind, and even though little Kurt fanboys and fangirls will be mad, I have to say, PEARL JAM WAS BETTER THAN NIRVANA! So was Alice in Chains, Layne Staley kicked ass much more hardcore than Kurt. If you little blind followers of some sort of god that selfishly killed himself and destroyed his life with drugs have anything to say about it, maybe want to come "beat me up", send me an email @ hulkster316@msn.com. I'll gladly give you my home address, and when you get here, I'll stick my size 11 boot right in your ass, and send you home crying like a bitch. I'd also be happy to serenade you with your favorite Nirvana song while I stomp away on your spine. And for those mature folks out there, let's move on. I give props for including Queen's Freddy Mercury at # 2, but they only did it since there would be a public outcry if he wasn't on the list. As far as I'm concerned, The Beatles BLOW, and Queen is truly the greatest band of all-time. If ripping on the lame-ass, shitty works of The (dung)Beatles pisses you off to the point of violence, feel free to ride with the Cobain fans to my house for your chance to get your ass handed to you. You'd save money by traveling together. Again, mature people, let us proceed. If I had to pick my favorite vocalist EVER, it'd be Amy Lee of Evanescence. Sure, she's rather new, but her voice is MIND BLOWING, simply unreal. That woman has the sort of voice that can make evil itself weep. It's as if she was right there in my head, expressing all my innermost emotions with her siren songs. I always hear about how music really touches people's lives, and while I've enjoyed many songs, and artists over the years, I've never connected with it like I did with Amy/Evanescence. Despite the leaving of Evanescence's guitarist, and lead songwriter, which could spell the end of the band, Amy would be just fine on her own. I know I'd buy ANY music she put out.

Random question: Thinking of the show Oz got me wondering: Hypothetically, if you were on death row, how would you choose to die? This can be any method of sanctioned execution, past or present, even firing squad, burned at the stake, hanging, etc. I would have chose the gas chamber, but it turns out, that's far more horrific than I originally thought, as the gas basically chokes you for sometime before taking effect. I guess I'd go with lethal injection, even though I hate needles. But, if in this scenario I did something worthy of capital punishment, having to be poked by a needle, experiencing some pain and discomfort in my final minutes would serve me right. Also, what would your last meal be? Choosing only 1 beverage, a main course, side dish, and dessert. I'd pick a two liter of Dr. Pepper, a big steak, chicken tenders, and an Oreo Blizzard, or whatever the nearby ice cream shop calls their version of it.

Another Random Question: If you were forced to leave your current home, only to be relocated to a new one at a destination of your choice, where would your new home be? I'd pick somewhere in Florida, Miami or Daytona Beach.

More Random Questions!: Assume you escaped death row, and had no place to put your new home, you are now stuck on a desert island forever. But your in luck, this island is equipt with a house, electricity, and appliances, all with a catch. You might have a sweet setup, but now can only eat/drink one thing, watch, let's say 5 shows, only 5 movies, and listen to 5 CDs for the rest of your life, what are your choices? For me, it'd be the following?

Food: Steak- No carbs! Atkin's Diet baby!

Drink: Cherry Coke

Five Shows
1. Raw- It's been on for over 10 years, and still going, meaning lots of eps. And, I need my wrestling.
2. Quantum Leap- 95 eps is a good amount, plus I'd kill for my Quantum.
3. Oz- Oz rules.
4. WWF Superstars- The old school wrestling show, the big one before Raw, tons of eps.
5. South Park- Hilarious, plus it is still on, which means tons of new eps.

5 Movies
1. Scarface- Just awesome, favorite movie.
2. No Holds Barred- Hogan stars, and is one of my faves ever.
3. Pulp Fiction- It just rules
4. Dawn of the Dead- my favorite horror movie
5. Mannequin- my favorite 80's movie

5 CDs
1. Evanescence's Fallen- Awesome, never gets old
2. WWE Anthology Disc 1- I NEED Real American, and get other classics to boot
3. Nickelback's Silver Side Up- Another one I can listen to everyday
4. Evanescence's Origin- I need as much of the band's music as possible
5. Evanescence's Whisper/Sound Asleep EP- see # 4

I hope you had fun, if you want to talk about this, or just chat since your bored, you can reach me on AIM, username Hulkster841.

Later, people.

SWF Main Event 3/6/04
SWF Main Event 3/6/04

Vance: Welcome to SWF Main Event! Tonight, the last wrestling event before Extrememania, we have 4 GIANT matches to tell you about!

Dean: That's right, and in addition to that, Extreme has just announced, that any wrestler not scheduled in another bout for Extrememania, will be placed into an Endurance Battle Royal, with the winner receiving a free title shot! And, with the clock ticking down to the big show, Extreme is set to announce the 6 Man Title Match, and new SWF Hardcore Champion, Jack Suicide, was granted the request to pick his opponent for the event! But just listen to tonight's card:

The Suicide Brothers vs JuJu & Petey Pizzazz!

Octane & The Freedom Fighter vs The Mercenary & Ayatollah Sheik!

The Janitor & Crazy Phil vs Kings of the Street!

And, in the Main Event, a HUGE 3x3 match up, Cash Inc face The Black Dragons & EXTREME SUPERSTAR!

Vance(shocked): Wow! Well, Let's KICK IT OFF!

The Janitor & Crazy Phil vs Kings of the Street
Phil and Janitor come on strong, and put a hurtin' on KOTs, but Tony nails Phil with The Edge, leaving only the Janitor. Janitor however, fights Tony off, sending him from the ring, and leaving Don as the legal man. It isn't long before Don is hit with the Clean Sweep! 1-2-3, it's over!
*Winners* The Janitor & Crazy Phil

Backstage, we see the Good Ol' Boys, Generation Gap, and Sex Connection & Silkky Smooth, all sitting in the back, apparently told to be there by Extreme. Extreme Superstar then walks in, and wastes no time in telling them why he called them, all three teams will be competing for the 6 Man Titles at Extrememania! He says that it will be elimination rules, with the last team left winning. He wishes all of them luck, then excuses himself to prepare for his match later tonight.

The Suicide Brothers vs JuJu & Petey Pizzazz
The match starts with JuJu basically facing the Suicides alone, since Petey is too concerned about looking for Octane, who's made it a habit of coming after him. Petey turns out to be right, as Octane ends up coming down, and runs him off! As JuJu is distracted at these events, Mike swoops in, and plants him with a running version of the Suicidal Twist! 1-2-3, Mike picks up the win for his team!
*Winners* The Suicide Brothers

Post Match: Jack picks up a mic, and begins to address the crowd:

Jack: Well, I guess now is as good a time as any to announce my Extrememania opponent. For such a huge event, I knew I would need the best opponent possible, and that's why I choose.... You Mike! (The crowd, and Mike are shocked) (to Mike) You are the one who can bring the best out of me, and I of you. We can give these people a match they'll never forget, what do you say?

(Mike says nothing, but nods to the fans delight, and he and Jack shake hands, before having a tense stare down, then leaving)

We head backstage where we see Petey, carrying his gear, and running for his life, as Octane slowly stalks him. Petey makes it to the parking garage, finds his car (a light purple Ferrari), and fumbles for his keys as Octane closes in. He gets in, and starts it up, so Octane decides to go to his black semi, and when Petey peels out of the lot, Octane is ready in his truck, and follows! But what about his match? That's next! I guess Freedom will have to go it alone!

The Freedom Fighter vs The Mercenary & Ayatollah Sheik
Wait! As the three participants enter, Captain Fantastic's music hits! The referee allows the replacement, and the match is on!

The Freedom Fighter & Captain Fantastic vs The Mercenary & Ayatollah Sheik
Fantastic and Freedom rush their opponents, but Sheik bails! Sheik wants no part of his Extrememania opponent tonight! So, Mercenary goes it alone, and beats on Fantastic, who is deemed the legal man. After a while, Fantastic makes the tag, and Freedom easily dispatches him with the Star Spangled Slam! 1-2-3, it's over.
*Winners* The Freedom Fighter & Captain Fantastic


Cash Inc vs The Black Dragons & Extreme Superstar
Cash Inc enter, followed by the Dragons, and they all stare each other down before tearing into one another! The Dragons do alright in holding off their three opponents, then suddenly, Extreme's music hits! The crowd goes nuts and BDM heads for higher ground. Extreme enters, and goes to aid his partners, but Jaffe and Joe break free of the Dragons, and they too bail! The referee begins to count Cash Inc out, but they could care less, and run to the back, then are counted out. I guess we have to wait until Extrememania for these issues to be resolved!
*Winners by Count Out* The Black Dragons & Extreme Superstar

We head back to Vance and Dean, who wrap things up:

Vance: Well, we'll just have to wait until Extrememania to see some resolution to all these feuds, so make sure to join us March 26th, as we broadcast LIVE from the brand new SWF Superdome, where we expect 80,000 fans to be on hand! Speaking of that show, here's Dean to run down the final card for the extravaganza!

Dean (excited): Oh, it will be a big one, listen to this:

An Endurance Battle Royal, featuring the following 13 superstars: Captain Fantastic, JuJu, Tripp, Crazy Phil, The Janitor, Yeti, Tony Ramon, The Reverend, Xavier Hawthorne III, Repo, The Don, The Mercenary, & Boppo The Clown! The winner gets a title shot at any time they request!

The SWF 6 Man titles will be on the line as The Good Ol' Boys defend against TWO teams, being Generation Gap, and Silkky Smooth & The Sex Connection!

As we just heard tonight, Jack Suicide will defend the SWF Hardcore Title against his own brother, Mike Suicide!

Televison Champion, Petey Pizzazz will be forced to face the mighty Octane, for the title, in a Last Man Standing Match!

The Freedom Fighter will have a chance to win back the United States title, as he faces current champ, Ayatollah Sheik, in a Flag Match!

The Black Dragons also look to regain the gold they lost, and get revenge, as they face Cash Inc's Jahalaman Jaffe & Joe Money!

And, the main event, Extreme Superstar puts the SWF on the line, when he squares of with SWF Champion, The Billion Dollar Man, with the title on the line! There will be no DQs, no count outs, no time limit, and falls count anywhere in the building, in what will be the most highly anticipated bout in SWF history!

Vance: We hope to see you there, but remember, we will not be here next week, so tune in on March 20th for The Road to Extrememania special, where we will have a LIVE press conference emanating from SWF Fan Fair!

Dean: We'll see you then!

END OF SHOW!

Random Stuff! Oh No!
Yes, the Random Stuff is BACK, be afraid, be VERY afraid! It is like mere minutes into a Thursday, and here I am, bustin' out the mixed bag of goodness because, you guessed it, I'm bored as hell. Ready? Then On with the show:

Quick notes about Random Stuff column: With presidential elections, hot button political issues, and controversial films dealing with matters of faith, you might expect some of that to factor in here. But, despite my views and opinions on those subjects, I will NOT discuss them here. I respect other people's own thoughts on the matters, and was taught that there are two things you don't discuss, religion, and politics. I want to keep this fun, light and fluffy, not piss people off with opposing viewpoints. I might slam a celeb, tv show, or movie, but I don't want to go any further than that. Cool? Alrighty then, let's get something going.

I was kinda upset to hear that boxing heavyweight champ Lennox Lewis, decided to retire instead of face Vitali Klitchko in a rematch. I understand his choice, but c'mon! Boxing fans want to see that issue resolved! For those who don't know, Klitchko gave a Rocky-esque effort in a fight last year vs Lewis, leading on all 3 judges score cards when a sickening cut over his eye caused the fight to be stopped. I almost thought we'd see a new champ until that, and the world was waiting for the rematch. But, Lewis decided to hang up his gloves for good, and that SUCKS. Jeez, go out there and give it all you've got one last time, win or lose, go out like a MAN. Apollo Creed gave Rocky his rematch, lost, and RESPECTED the winner. Nobody should think any less of you for doing the right thing, and you'd make MILLIONS of dollars for that match. I'm also bummed since I wanted to see Roy Jones Jr. kick his ass too.

In other boxing news, legendary George Foremen, at age 55, has signed on for a return to the ring. George proved the world wrong in his last comeback, even winning the world heavyweight title. I hope he can still go, and will be rooting him on in his latest sojourn into boxing. Kick all their asses George!

Moving on to wrestling, WWE announced the inductees to the WWE Hall of Fame this year, to be presented the night before Wrestlemania XX. I will now comment on each one:

Jesse "The Body" Ventura- He didn't do nearly as much as a wrestler that people think, and the media played up on when he ran (and won) the Governorship of Minnesota. He became one of the best announcers in the business though, and him and Gorilla Monsoon are one of my all-time favorite commentary duos. He deserves to be in the hall for his commentary contributions.

Tito Santana- I am a MASSIVE Tito fan, plus, he was around forever, and kept himself pretty popular from the late 70's, until the end of his WWF (as WWE was known then) run. Tito was one of the best Intercontinental champs ever, a multi-time tag champion, a top star in the wrestling boom of the 1980's, and also was a positive Latino role model for kids like me growing up. Tito TOTALLY deserves his induction, and I was clamoring for it before the announcement.

Don "The Rock"Muraco- He was one of the best Intercontinental champs, and heels in wrestling history. Don, the REAL "Rock" is just as worthy as anyone to get into the hall, and another guy I was hoping would see his induction.

Bobby "The Brain" Heenan- Not only one of the greatest managers ever, but one of the best announcers ever. Him and Gorilla Monsoon are my ultimate favorite announce team ever. Bobby is about as perfect a hall candidate as you can get, and I'm happy he's getting in.

Greg "The Hammer"Valentine- Grizzled, tough, and one of the most hated heels in wrestling history, The Hammer deserves the honor.

Bob Backlund- He was a no-frills, amateur-style wrestler of the late 70's, early 80's who reigned as world champ for about 5 years. He even made one of wrestling's best comebacks in the early 90's, engaging in amazing matches with Bret Hart, was more entertaining than he was in his first run, and he won the world title once again. Bob deserves his induction as well.

Sgt. Slaughter- The man has one of the coolest wrestling names, and was a top star in the 80's wrestling heyday. He even managed to parlay that into a role on 80's classic cartoon, G.I. Joe. Slaughter also had a big comeback, resurfacing in the early 90's where he not only won the WWF title, he main evented Wrestlemania 7 vs Hulk Hogan! The Sarge is a completely worthy induction.

Junkyard Dog- JYD is perhaps one of the most beloved wrestlers in ALL wrestling, being so extremely popular, fans RIOTED when he was beaten up. When he came to the WWF, he retained that popularity, and was one of the most popular stars in perhaps the highest point of wrestling history. Sadly, JYD passed on in 1998 after a car crash claimed his life, but thanks to WWE, this true great will get the recognition he so richly deserves.

Harley Race- He did wrestle in the WWF, but it didn't really pan out, however since WWE now owns NWA/WCW, they are responsible for that history as well. And in the NWA, Harley Race was a true legend, holding the NWA title 8 times in his illustrious career. I think it is a classy gesture on WWE's part to induct a legend of NWA/WCW, when they could just ignore it since the hall name is WWE, and Race is as good a choice as any to be that person.

John Studd- He passed on in 1995 after a battle with Hodgkin's Disease, and I can't come up with solid reasons to induct him over a lot of the obvious guys that could go in his place, but I won't say anything disrespectful. If anything, Studd was a nice hand to have as foil for top faces during his run (70's and 80's), due to his immense size, and was a loyal company man.

"Superstar" Billy Graham- Billy has influenced some of the best wrestlers ever, including Hulk Hogan, and can be considered among the best himself. Graham was a top heel in the 70's, and when he won the world title, despite being a heel, he to sold out arenas across the country! Because of that, you could say he is one of the most successful heels in wrestling, and earned his hall induction.

Pete Rose- Yeah, the baseball player. He did some appearances at Wrestlemanias (14-16), which were pretty funny, as it was like a mini-rivalry with Kane. WWE is obviously doing this for publicity, and it's cute since Pete is banned from the baseball hall for gambling. If it is like a special thing they are doing I'm cool with this, but can't help be insulted if it is a full-blown entry, since wrestling is near and dear to my heart, with people mocking it enough without WWE doing it themselves.

Back to talk about the Hall of Fame, I hope these guys (who are still with us) show up live at Wrestlemania to soak up the cheers, and take a bow, for their dedication and excellence in wrestling, they earned it. But, it makes me SICK Hulk Hogan isn't going to be inducted. Vince might be angry at him for stupid crap, but the man DESERVES IT. Hulk better at least do a cameo at Wrestlemania, and that's all I have to say about that issue. Bruno Sammartino deserves an induction too, but he HATES Vince and WWE with a passion, so won't probably ever show up at a WWE function, but should get in the hall regardless. As for Bret Hart, he SO should get in one day, but he might be too young, so they are holding off on that. Other guys looked over, Roddy Piper & Randy Savage, but I KNOW, somewhere down the line, they too will make the hall.

Onto music, I pretty much hate everything from today, but watch old music videos stuff on specialty shows, or VH1 Classics, where I stumbled on a band that I liked. They were re-broadcasting some "Tuesday 2 Play" thing they have, where they play two videos by one artist back to back, and that's where I heard some great 80's music. Not synthesizer heavy pop, but rock, that had darker, grunge-like sound years ahead of it's time. The band was The Smithereens, and the first video was for a more popish song called "A Girl Like You", that sounded cool, like from the mid-90's, but released in the 80's. I saw it on the channel before, and commented on how nifty it was, but forgot to search for it on Overnet. Then, here it was on again, and I made a point to go after it, and am currently downloading it. The video was pretty cool too, as it was in black and white, with the band jamming on some club stage, auditioning for people seated at a table in front of them. Then, they showed the people at the table, and it was the band, who were continuing the song from there, with the drummer even doing his drumming while sitting there. The next song was one I heard in a movie, but only briefly, and didn't know the name of, called "Blood & Roses", and it's pretty awesome, with the grungy edge mentioned earlier, with some country-esque guitar, and pop vocals tossed in. I found that tune, and am listening to it now. The video was one for a movie, showing clips of it and all, some 80's teen flick, which will be me to the next item I will discuss.

While watching VH1 Classics, I noticed several videos for songs from 80's teen flicks, a genre I LOVE, but somehow, have missed out on the movies they featured in those videos! I am STUNNED. I will watch ANY movie of the genre too, if it was made in the 1980's, hell if it's ABOUT the 1980's, and features teen stars, I'M THERE. I am going to try and track down the movies featured, since I already looked them up to get the plots. There were 3 of them, from the aforementioned "Blood & Roses" Smithereens video was one called Dangerously Close. It is about some kids who decide to kill off people that they feel are lower in the social pecking order. Most of the stars are nobodies, except a girl who was on Law and Order (Carey Lowell is her name), and the male lead from the STELLAR Return of the Living Dead. Sounds good to me. The next movie was featured in some typical 80's pop video for a song titled "Catch Me, I'm Falling" (a song I've heard before), and is called Hiding Out. It stars Jon Cryer, who was in the genre classic Pretty in Pink as "Duckie" with the teen movie goddess Molly Ringwald, and my favorite 80's stars Andrew McCarthy & James Spader! John Cusak and Michael J. Fox complete the holy foursome though, and they rule all with iron fists. Back to this though, Cryer stars as a young stock broker who sees some mob activity, and is forced to hide out as a high school student. I'm down for that. The third movie was called "The Legend of Billie Jean", but sadly, has nothing to do with the Michael Jackson song, OR DOES IT? DUN! DUN! DUN! Sorry, I had to do it. It is about some girl, played by Helen Slater, who was in the HORRENDOUS Supergirl movie, as Supergirl herself. She would redeem herself though, as she starred with the infallible Michael J. Fox in the great Secret of my Success. But back to the premise, a girl (Slater) ends up waging war around her native Texas, tired of people giving her, her brother, and her friends crap, so they all take the law into their own hands. Also feature are Christian Slater (no relation to Helen), who I never really liked, Yeardley Smith, also known as the voice of Lisa Simpson(?!), and DEAN STOCKWELL!!!!! Oh. My. God. If you don't know who Dean is, please, hang your head in shame, but pick it up again soon so I can tell you. Dean is Al from QUANTUM F'N LEAP! Quantum kicks more ass than a team of ass kickers in a worldwide ass kicking contest. And, depending on who you talk to, this movie is the greatest film ever made, or complete garbage. Being someone who loves great movies, AND really, really, bottom of the barrel bad ones, I MUST see this. In other teen movie news, I recently saw Teen Witch, something I saw many moons ago, when I didn't really know what it was I really was seeing. It was a doozy, combining the 80's teen cliches I hold so dear with the LAMEST musical sequences EVER MADE. It kicked so much ass.

Well, this dragged on a lot longer than I would have thought, so that is all for today kids, goodnight.
