SWF Main Event 7/10/04

We open the show with The Billion Dollar Man making his way to the ring. He looks quite happy, and is set to address the crowd:

BDM: Hello everyone! (BIG boos) I hope you all had a fun holiday, I know I did. But, back to business, welcome to SWF Main Event. Tonight will be a big, important show, as it is a special "Team Matches Only" night, with the reigning SWF champs facing top competition in team matches, as not to change the title picture for a very important reason. That is reason is because I have already made plans for the next SWF PPV, so I want the champs to wrestle tonight, but not jeopardize any title changes that will ruin the big matches I have planned. I am not fully done with the card, but I WILL have it all worked out next week, so I'll announce the lineup right here next week, at the very top of the broadcast. But now, onto tonight, here are the matches you will see.

BDM announces the following:

"Non-champions attraction" Tag match: Octane & Freedom Fighter vs Rory Rogers & Charles Gunn (has anyone else noticed how Octane is kept out of the mix, despite being undefeated cleanly, and way over with the fans. It's as if BDM is threatened by him perhaps?)

Elimination 6 Man Tag: Faith & Devotion, Ayatollah Sheik vs Black Dragons & Randy Mann

8 Man Tag Match: Yeti, Tex Gentry, & Kings of the Street vs Captain Fantastic & The Breakfast Club (guys only of course)

Main Event: Elimination 10 Man Tag: Cash Inc, The Mercenary, & Petey Pizzazz vs The Suicide Brothers, Crazy Phil, The Janitor & Silkky Smooth

BDM then wraps things up, and announces the start of the first match as he leaves the ring. By the way, Angelica & Dean are announcing still.

"Non-champions attraction" Tag match: Octane & The Freedom Fighter vs Rory Rogers & Charles Gunn
Octane & Charles start, and Octane dominates, then goes to finish off Charles with the Empty Tank, but he slips away to tag out. Rory cautiously comes in, but he too is destroyed. Octane gets him up, plants him with the Empty Tank, then tags out to Freedom instead of going for the pin! Freedom scrapes Rory off the mat, and hits the Star Spangled Slam! 1-2-3, it's over! Dean & Angelica mention how Octane & Freedom sent a message tonight, clearly showing BDM that they deserve rematches for the titles they were screwed out of (they didn't say that exactly, but implied it).
*Winners* Octane & The Freedom Fighter

Elimination 6 Man Tag: Faith & Devotion, Ayatollah Sheik vs Black Dragons & Randy Mann
Sheik starts off with Randy, and Randy really brings it. But after a bit of punishment, Sheik pulls out his dreaded spike, and discreetly bops Randy with it! He goes for the pin 1-2-3! Randy is eliminated! Randy, still groggy, but pissed, decides to not take the unfair loss gracefully, and runs back to the ring as an official helped him to the back! He tackles Sheik, sending him down, climbs the top rope, and nails him with the Body Shot! The fans love this, and officials have to drag Randy out, but the damage is done. Quow Ling rushes in, covers the downed Sheik, 1-2-3! Sheik is gone too! Reverend rushes right in after the pin to roll up Quow, 1-2-NO! Quow kicked out! The match slows down a bit, as Reverend puts the pressure on Quow, until Quow makes the comeback, then wisely tags instead of risking it any further. Shadow comes in, and takes down Reverend, but he manages to tag out. Xavier comes in, and takes control briefly, but then, Shadow unleashes some martial arts kicks on him, dropping him to his knees! That puts him in position for the Flying Wizard, so Shadow steps back, runs it, and SMACK! Lands the kick right up side his head! He covers, 1-2-3, Xavier is gone! Shadow tags to Quow, and now Rev is forced to enter, having nobody left to help! Rev gives it a go, but Quow turns it up, and ends up catching him with the Death Kick out of nowhere! Quow pins him, 1-2-3, it's all over! Dean & Angelica make not of how all the people who lost to BDM's allies are angry, and seem determined to regain the gold they lost.
*Winners* The Black Dragons & Randy Mann


We head backstage, where we see all 3 members of Cash Inc, and they seem upset at how the opposition is really on their game tonight. Then, talk turns to those odd "SOON" promos that have been airing after every show. Jahalaman Jaffe suggests it might have to do with that new "creepy guy" Buffalo Billy, who's promos never give any info on him. BDM puts that to rest, saying he thought that, but he looked into it, and reveals Buffalo Billy will debut next week, and has nothing to do with those promos. Joe Money looks concerned, then speaks up, saying that rumors are flying about the SWF being sold, the sale had been finalized, and that the promos are being made by none other than the new owner. BDM looks less than sure, but states those are just rumors. Jaffe says Vance McMillian, the chairman of the company, was at the SWF offices, reportedly working on the paperwork for the new ownership. BDM asks the source, and Jaffe says he saw him there before the show when he went to see if BDM wanted to go to lunch. BDM says he was out at the time, and demands to know all he knows on this. Jaffe says he talked with the front desk lady, and she told him that he had a right to be there, despite losing his announcer job, since he's chairman, a position BDM's booking powers can't fire him from, since he only has the ability to run the tv programming. Jaffe says the woman informed him that Vance was busy with a very important deal, and that was all she knows. BDM is furious at first, and then he smiles, saying if he had any real power, he'd have already returned to oust him from his booking position. Joe interjects, using his business knowledge to explain that logic is flawed. He says Extreme Superstar is gone, but as of the current time (to their knowledge), he still owns the company, so all the same rules apply, including the gaffe that allowed BDM to take power, unless he changes anything, which he hasn't due to basically walking away, since the owner is the sole person who can fix such a problem. BUT, if the rumors are true, and the company is being sold, the new owner, obviously wanting to be fully in charge, can do whatever he wants, including correcting the SWF rule book error, ousting BDM from power! BDM looks upset by this, then changes to subject, saying they need to prepare for their match later on.


We then cut to Lt. Dingle, who is backstage, visiting people, when a staff member hands him a note, said to have been delivered earlier. It's written in scribbled red, blood looking lettering. He read it, and it says "Hello policeman, we are gonna have some fun. Can't wait for the games to begin". Dingle looks worried, then comments by saying "I hope this isn't that bastard who keeps stealing my jock straps".


8 Man Tag Match: Yeti, Tex Gentry, & Kings of the Street vs Captain Fantastic & The Breakfast Club
Yeti starts with Fantastic, and Fantastic takes the fight right to him. This causes Yeti to tag Tex, who uses his speed to turn the tide, and Fantastic tags in The Burnout. The Burnout does much better with Tex, since he's more his size, but after a bit, he decides to tag The Nerd, to really match speed with Tex. Tex doesn't want to really get into it, so after taking some good offense, he tags in big Tony Ramon! Tony slaughters Nerd, forcing him to tag The Jock, who's power evens the score. As this goes on, Breakfast Club enemy, The Principal runs down to try and distract the team, but The Rich Girl & The Freak, who are at ringside as managers, jump him, and send him heading for the hills! Those kittens have claws! Back in the ring, Jock takes it to Tony, forcing him to tag the only fresh man left, The Don. In keeping with his rep of losing pretty much every single match, Don gets BLASTED with a jumping DDT, and Jock pins him, 1-2-3, it's over!
*Winners* Captain Fantastic & The Breakfast Club

Post Match: The winners celebrate on their way to the back, then Yeti & Tex leave, upset after the loss (in Yeti's case, I'd assume, the mask covers up all his emotions), and Tony looks upset too, but hesitates to leave his partner, The Don, who is still out of it on the canvas. Tony looks at his partner, then walks off angry! There is dissension between Kings of the Street! As The Don is left laying there, and an official tries to help him up, a weird man with long stringy light brown (?) hair that seems to be covered in white powder, dressed in tattered clothes, and made up like he was monster in the Thriller video runs to the ring! The man shoves the ref away, and he BITES The Don's arm! The Don rolls around in pain, and more officials storm to the ring, and drag the bizarre man off! What in the world was that!

We head up to Dean & Angelica, who inform us, and the crowd that the man we've just seen is the newest addition to the SWF roster, The Dead. Then, they begrudgedly hype next week's show, obviously under the the influence of BDM, as they pimp how great it will be, since BDM is announcing the plans for the next SWF PPV. They also talk up the debut of Buffalo Billy, and maybe further clues into the mysterious "SOON" promos, also possibly more info on the odd letter Dingle got earlier in the show. Then, they pimp the main event, which is next, doing so apparently by reading cue cards BDM is forcing them to read.


Main Event: Elimination 10 Man Tag: Cash Inc, The Mercenary, & Petey Pizzazz vs The Suicide Brothers, Crazy Phil, The Janitor & Silkky Smooth
BDM & Jack Suicide start, and BDM is overwhelmed at first by the high flying style of Jack, but once he catches him after a failed cross body, and taking him down with a powerslam, he has things well in hand. BDM decides to tag Mercenary, who really clobbers Jack, then hits the Mercy Kill! 1-2-3, Jack is eliminated! Mike runs in to take his place, and Merc destroys him, before tagging to Jahalaman Jaffe. Jaffe beats on Mike a bit more, but he slips away to tag in Silkky! Silkky really pours it on, causing Jaffe to have to tag Joe Money in, which doesn't really help much. Joe takes a good whoopin', then is planted with the Silkky Slam! 1-2-3, Joe is gone! Petey Pizzazz sneaks in, and when Silkky turns to see him, WHAM! Piece of Pizzazz! 1-2-3, Silkky is gone now too, it's 4 on 3! Petey, too busy gloating, fails to see Janitor charge in to replace Silkky! He takes down Petey with a running tackle, and fires away on him to the fans delight! Janitor really whomps on Petey, but Petey somehow manages to escape to the corner to tag in BDM. BDM comes in, only to be beat on by a riled Janitor. The Janitor has things well in hand, and he sets up BDM for the Clean Sweep! The fans are really going nuts for this, but BDM ends up slipping behind Janitor for the Billion Dollar Dream! BDM has Janitor locked in the hold, but Crazy Phil runs in, and attacks BDM from behind, causing him to release the hold! The ref tries to maintain control, as The Mercenary, Petey, & Jaffe enter to try and attack Phil, then Mike enters to fight them off, it's all broken loose now! As the ref fights to get everyone out of the ring, BDM boots Janitor, and hits the Billion Dollar Bomb! When everyone is out of the ring, BDM is there with Janitor in the pin, 1-2-3, Janitor is gone! It's 4 on 2! Mike runs in to replace Janitor as BDM tags to Jaffe. Mike is on fire, and after a bit of traded punches, he hits the Suicidal Twist out of nowhere to a huge pop! 1-2-3, Jaffe is gone! The Mercenary comes in next, and he's pissed! He storms after Mike, but he ducks, and Merc runs right into the far ropes, where Phil clocks him with a haymaker! Mike rolls him up, 1-2-3, Merc is now eliminated! Mike turns around, and Petey is there to meet him with the Piece of Pizzazz! 1-2-3, Mike is gone to mega boos! It's 2 on 1 now, with only Crazy Phil left! Phil enters the ring, as the fans chant his name, giving him the surge of adrenaline he needs, allowing him to spear Petey! Phil starts clobbering Petey as the fans go wild, then drills him with a DDT! He goes for the pin, 1......2......NO! Petey just barely kicked out! Petey struggles to his feet, and Phil meets him with a boot, then hooks him in for the Crazy Crusher! He hit it! He goes for the pin, 1........2........3! He got him! The fans are loving it, and it's now down to Phil and the SWF World champ, BDM. BDM is rocked by some major shots as he enters, with the fans, and Dean & Angelica getting excited too, hoping to see Phil finally knock BDM off his high horse for being a jerk in general, and the constant abuse of Phil himself. BDM makes him comeback, then goes for the Billion Dollar Dream, but Phil fights it! He grabs his arms, and gets him into position for the Crazy Crusher! But no! BDM fights him away, and spins him around, then sets him up for the Billion Dollar Bomb! He got it! 1.............2.....................3. BDM won! The fans boos loudly, as BDM smiles, and says "Don't cross the boss!".
*Winners* Cash Inc, The Mercenary, & Petey Pizzazz

Post Match: The other members of the winning team return to celebrate, as fans boo, and hurl garbage at them. BDM's music is cut off, when the big screen turns on, and we see one of those "SOON" promos! This one says: "The balance of power has shifted. Prepare for change, SOON." The fans, BDM & his buddies, Dean & Angelica are all dumfounded, and awed, as we go off the air.


END OF SHOW

Jibber Jabber
Yeah, so Raw is gonna be on in 45 minutes, and I'm bored until then, hence me doing an entry. I had a cool idea, and I think I could squeeze an article out of it. I intend to, hopefully sometime within the next month or so, have what I like to call Rob's Sitcom-A-Thon, where I will watch mass amounts of a specific show I either have on DVD, or download on the PC. At the moment, I am building a MASS amount of a specific show, so I think I'll hold off on watching them, then do a marathon viewing. After it's over, I'll do an article, reviewing the episodes I watched. I haven't set a date yet, I want to wait until I have a free day, so I can seriously veg out and watch it all without interruption. There really isn't anything better to me than a non-stop marathon of some show I love. If I like how it goes, I might do more in the future, and cover movies too. Once I iron out the details, I'll be sure to pass the info along. That is pretty much it, if you have any feedback, feel free to drop a comment, catch me on AIM @ Hulkster841, or shoot me an e-mail @ Hulkster316@msn.com.

SWF Backstage 5

Dean welcomes us to the FINAL SWF Backstage, reminding us that next week, SWF Main Event returns! Dean says tonight, we will see profiles of The Black Dragons, Repo, Silkky Smooth, Freedom Fighter, Angelica Summers, and Dean himself! Without further ado, we start the show!

Profile of The Black Dragons
As they are brothers, their story weaves together. The brothers were born in Osaka Japan, Quow Ling is Quow's real name, and Shadow's name is Kenji Ling. The two grew up raised by an abusive single father, which ended up causing the older brother, Kenji to strike out on his own at 15. Kenji told his younger brother (by four years) to report their father to the police, so he wouldn't be left alone with him once he ran away, because he refused to take such a young kid with him to a life of uncertainty. The night Kenji left, the boy's father flew in a rage, hearing of their plans before Quow could report him, and he chopped of part of Quow's pinky! That explains the missing part of the finger (which he keeps concealed via black athletic tape), he wasn't a member of the Yakuza as some suspected. This sick action finally got the boys dad in jail, and Quow was shipped off to a boys home. He didn't stay however, he took off, much like Kenji did, living on the streets, and eventually street fighting for cash. Back to Kenji, he was living pretty much the same way, but he eventually found a job at a restaurant, then went back home to find Quow so he could go live, and work with him. Kenji found out about what their father did to him, and how Quow ran away from the boys home, and he was crushed. He felt guilty, blaming himself for the whole thing, so he returned to work, thinking his brother was better off, as he only brought him pain. After growing weary of the street fighting, Quow stopped it, deciding to go legit, and train to be a pro wrestler, which is highly respected in Japan, but also something he and his older brother bonded over, watching the top Japan, as well as U.S. promotions together, acting as an escape from their horrible father. Quow trained hard in Tokyo to make his dream happen, while unbeknownst to him, Kenji was doing as well, but only in New York City, where he moved to start his life over again, under a new name, to separate himself from his guilt. The SWF would bring them together, as Extreme Superstar brought the tryouts to both NYC, and Tokyo, signing each man, and as the footage of Extreme says, the two were amazing, wowing him with their fast paced, Japanese styles. When he was signed, Kenji, now going by Alexander Miyagi, decided he wanted to wrestle under a mask as The Shadow, with his shame keeping him from revealing himself to the world, not wanting his brother to ever possibly see his face. But as we now know, the two would come together, almost by fate, but why didn't Kenji reveal himself to Quow once he saw him? Fear. Kenji was sacred that Quow might be angry with him, so he decided to first get close to him, win his confidence, then finally show that he was his brother, hoping their bond would be strong enough to survive after the bombshell was dropped. Extreme comments how odd it was that Shadow would no longer take his mask off once he took on the gimmick, and that he was seemingly stalking Quow, at least until we all found out why at Extrememania. Luckily as we saw, Quow wasn't mad, as he had been searching to find Kenji for the 12 years they'd been apart, and they remain, arguably the top team in the SWF.


Profile of Repo
His real name is Jake Long, and he was born in Newark New Jersey. Jake worked at an auto mechanic, before deciding to make the jump to wrestling, but he was stumped when it came to a gimmick or name. Jake had always been shy, so he figured he wouldn't do so well with the entertainment side of wrestling. Jake looked at many old tapes, hoping maybe to lift some character from those. After seeing the Repo Man, who used to "reposes" people's property, he got the idea to take that to another level, stealing wrestler's entire personas! That is also why he uses the name Repo. In the footage of Extreme, Extreme says he loved the gimmick, and Repo proved to be a capable wrestler.


Profile of Silkky Smooth
Silkky was born Otis Moore in Las Vegas Nevada. Otis went to business, school, and decided to open up a business that had already been a proven moneymaker in Vegas, a brothel. Using the name and persona Silkky Smooth, Otis' business flourished, and he was a rich man, but now that he had wealth, it was time to pursue his dream of wrestling. Silkky trained in Vegas, and when the SWF tryouts came to town, he showed up, where he "showcased his fantastic brawling skills", according to Extreme.


Profile of The Freedom Fighter
He was born John McBain in Washington D.C., to a proud tradition of firefighters, police, and military veterans. John continued the tradition by joining the Marines, then when he got home, he took a job as a park ranger. After a while of that, John decided to try wrestling. John ended up at the SWF tryouts, where he impressed Extreme with technical wrestling ability, and "the great character of The Freedom Fighter".


Profile of Angelica Summers
He was born in Pasadena California, where she aspired to be a newscaster or any sort of broadcast journalist, even an actress. She grew up doing some modeling, and even had quite a career doing many ad campaigns (print, billboard, and television) overseas. She has always loved wrestling, so when she heard that the SWF was looking for a backstage interviewer/potential commentator, she sent in her tape, and obviously, Extreme liked what he saw. We see the footage of Extreme, where he talks of how impressed he was by her knowledge of wrestling, and upbeat attitude.


Profile of Dean Bokerlund
Dean was born in Minneapolis Minnesota, where he eventually studied broadcasting at the University of Minnesota. Dean commentated pretty much all the sporting events there, and also was a DJ at the college radio station, including his own wrestling discussion show. Dean did sports coverage for small Minnesota tv markets, then took the chance to tryout as an announcer for the SWF. Extreme says in the footage that he liked Dean's "authoritative call of the action". Additionally, his nickname "Clean" is a take on how his name is Dean Bokerlund, similar to legendary WWF/WCW interviewer "Mean" Gene Okerlund, so Extreme tacked on the "Clean" as a play on words.


We head back to Dean, who wraps the show up, reminding us to tune in next week, as SWF Main Event returns! As we've come to expect, as the show fades, we see one of those videos. This one has a graphic that reads "Experience the wraith.....SOON". These videos continue to get even more alluring every week. I sense something big in the works, could we find out more on next week's SWF Main Event? Time will tell.

END OF SHOW

Random Stuff!
Well, Random Stuff returns, meaning I'm bored. I've got a few thing I could talk about, the rest I'll just go with the flow for.

In terms of music, my tastes are pretty eclectic, listening to stuff from various genres, but also very limited. That's since I listen on a per-song basis, meaning just because I like a couple Aerosmith songs or something, I'm not truly a big fan, nor are they a favorite band of mine. The favorites spots are held by the very few artist/bands I like pretty much, or all of their work. Anyways, the past few days, I've been trying to expand my horizons in terms of music, since I've pretty much gotten all the songs I know now I like. I've been going through some rap, since I do enjoy quite a bit of old school gangsta stuff, and have a Three Six Mafia CD I really like. My next move is to look into hard rock, since that is where the core of my interest is in.

In other "news", I am going to try and write less about wrestling, since it's hardly a topic that the general public wants to hear about. I will continue the SWF, but try to do more appealing things for future articles that more people would actually read. So, expect a lot of movie chatter, or whatever non-wrestling issues tickle my fancy, which really isn't much :).

Just recently, after not thinking anyone even saw my blog, I was shocked to find a few comments. I don't think one person is actually a regular viewer of my work, like the SWF or anything, but it's cool to know someone has seen it. And, since people are actually seeing this, I might as well pass along my AIM screen so maybe we chat sometime. I really don't have much to do late at night, and I'm an insomniac, so I'm usually on most of the night, and it'd be cool to have someone to just kinda talk with. Like the SNL skit says, just chat, no big whoop. So, if your bored, have an interest in anything you see on my page, or generally have some kind of interest in television, wrestling or movies, send me a message on AIM @ Hulkster841.

Onto television. I have always been a sucker for "old school sitcoms", pretty much from the golden age of sitcoms in the 80's, up until the mid 90's when the plague known as Friends started to make sitcoms turn to crap, by influencing TV writers to make all products of the genre clones of it. One of the shows I used to watch on USA Network's USAM (where they showed some of the lesser, failed 90's sitcoms that were either right before the great change, or rebels that didn't conform)was Ned & Stacey. I loved Thomas Haden Church's work on Wings (which USA also aired seemingly non-stop) as Lowell, and all the other stuff I've seen him in, so I watched it. I knew THC (not the reefer, the aforementioned actor!) left Wings to do that show, but since I had other TV viewing commitments, it took syndication for me to see it. Being like 14 or so when it was on USAM, I don't think I really appreciated the comedy (especially when PERFECT F'N STRANGERS was on the same lineup, so I probably was merely counting down the minutes) as much as I should have, but I liked it. USAM sadly revamped their schedule frequently, so many of the great shows left (even Perfect Strangers), before they stopped it all together. Then, of all places, WOMEN'S ENTERTAINMENT brought back N&S to TV, and when I saw it was on, I tuned in. Now, before I go on, I don't think N&S is a girls show, but WE also plays Two Guys and a Girl (formerly known as "Two Guys, A Girl, and a Pizza Place"), a show that doesn't quite fit the mold either, but I freakin' LOVE, so whatever. Back to N&S, upon watching again, I couldn't believe how funny that show was, I was laughing my ass off the ENTIRE show. I usually don't get too excited or laugh that hard, so everyone in my house was a bit concerned to see me literally rolling on the couch at (mainly)Ned's antics. After that, N&S officially became one of my favorite shows, and should be put up on likewise named section of my site soon. It should be noted that while THC/the Ned character rules all, Stacey isn't a lightweight either, and she's played by Debra Messing, who would shoot to fame as Grace on Will & Grace after N&S ended, another show I like quite a bit (I only keep up with that in syndication though). Notice the weird "&" title connection? Also, the Grace character seems like like a suped up version of Stacey, which is fine, since it's great. But, if I ever met Mrs. Messing, I'd be all "You ruled in Ned & Stacey! That's one of my favorite shows!" instead of how cool Will & Grace is. I just hope maybe one day N&S will make it to DVD. All my favorite shows are slowly starting to hit DVD, and who knows, in two years or so, I could have every episode of them, then never leave my house again. If I somehow got the shows I love on DVD, a worker's comp accident would be worth it, so I could watch all my precious episodes, and get paid.

Well, I want to keep this kinda brief, so thanks for reading, and as a new feature, I will leave you with a random quote:

SWF Backstage, Episode 4 6/26/04

Dean welcomes us to the 4th edition of SWF Backstage, where tonight, The Janitor, Crazy Phil, Octane, Generation Gap, Ayatollah Sheik, Lt. James Dingle, & Walter will be profiled. We waste no time in starting the profiles.

Profile of The Janitor
He was born Stanley Keller in Chicago Illinois. Stanley was an odd kid, and was ostracized the by his schoolmates, which lead to many fights. All those fights ended up getting him expelled in 8th grade, and going to reform school. Stanley's rage only grew by being sent away, and that rage never seemed to dissipate. The only thing he ever liked was wrestling, and the time spent watching it appeared to be the only time he was ever happy. After school, Stanley became a janitor, preferring a hard day's honest work instead of conforming to society's need to be wealthy and powerful. Stanley worked at a big insurance firm, but after a run-in with the company's head honcho, he was fired, since he didn't appreciate being yelled at, so he clocked the boss with his push broom. Stanley ended up working in a gym, one that trained both boxers, and wrestlers. When everyone left at nights, Stanley trained secretly, picking up wrestling with ease. Stanley now knew that he wanted to pursue his love of wrestling, and it just so happened that the upstart SWF was bringing it's talent search to town. We go to the Extreme Superstar footage, where he states that Janitor not only proved to be a talent brawler, but the anger in his promos and ring work were astounding, and that is what made him sign the newly dubbed Janitor.


Profile of Crazy Phil
He was born Phil Margolis in Portland Oregon. Phil had a normal upbringing, it was adult life that makes up his harrowing tale. Phil was a pretty successful owner of a car dealership, had a nice home, two great kids, and a loving wife, but he threw it all away. Times got a little tough when a new dealership came to town, stealing all his business. In desperation, Phil turned to gambling to solve his money woes, but he just ended up deeper in the hole. With bills piling up, and feeling helpless, Phil turned to alcohol. Within a few months, Phil was a gambling addict and an alcoholic. Phil refused help, so feeling powerless, his wife left him, and took the kids with her. All this did was drag Phil deeper into depression, as did the eventual loss of his home and business. Now living on the streets, Phil turned into a rambling fool, having had a nervous breakdown, and he was dubbed Crazy Phil by the locals because of it. Phil eventually was taken to the psych ward after being picked up wandering down the highway. It was there Phil was treated, and he kicked his bad habits, resolving to turn his life around. When he was released, Phil started working on the docks, making just enough to feed himself, and buy an old car to sleep in, but fate had something else in mind for him. You see, Phil was always a big wrestling fan, so when he heard about the SWF tryouts, despite being older, with no experience or skills to speak of, something inside told him he needed to go. Phil had at one time considered being a wrestler, but life interrupted his plans, but now he saw it as a sign. He didn't go in expecting to wow anyone, but just to give it his all, so that he could at least say he tried, and if he did by some chance get signed, he'd have a fresh start, possibly even showing his family that he wasn't a bum. In the never before seen footage, Extreme states that Phil showed up with the same passion he had when he started the SWF, so while Phil wasn't the best athlete, he wanted to give him a shot. Extreme ended up working with Phil himself, training him hard to be as good as he possibly could get him. Extreme says that Phil's desire is the same as what the SWF was built on, and while people laughed, he knew that there was no way he could have turned him away, because he had the heart of a true champion.


Profile of Octane
He was born Dante Black in Detroit Michigan. Dante was always a quiet loner, as well as the biggest kid in school. Dante's parents weren't around much either, not seeming to care about their son, they just left him money, went off doing whatever, and he fended for himself. Dante, having nobody there, learned to cook, and even drive at an early age, since it was necessary if he wanted to eat/get around. That early start at driving allowed Dante to become quite skilled, so as soon as he officially got his licence, he took off to trucking school. The proprietors of the school nearly turned him away, but hired Dante when he showed his excellent driving skills during a road test meant to only humor the kid. Dante spent some years on the road, but grew tired of that, then decided to settle down in Los Angeles working as a bouncer who's reputation stretched to bars across the country. One day, after hearing the loud reaction to a wrestling event being shown in the bar he was working at, Dante decided that he should try that, as he was a monstrous man, who also happened to enjoy the sport since he was a kid. Dante put in his notice, and started training, along side his future ally Petey Pizzazz, who he'd met while working the LA bar scene. The two ended up at the Los Angeles tryouts, and that was that. We see the Extreme footage that says how much he was blown away by the power, and dominance of Octane.


Profile of Disco Danny
He was Born Daniel Torella in New York City. Daniel, or Danny to his friends and family, always seemed enamored with the style, and attitude of the 70's, especially loving disco music. Apparently, seeing what turned out to be his favorite movie, Saturday Night Fever is what hooked him on the decade. Danny got heavy into the disco age after seeing the movie, learning to do the dances, and play guitar/keyboard so he could make his own disco songs. This fascination earned him the nickname he took as a wrestling name, Disco Danny. Danny eventually started his own retro band, covering all the classic disco tunes, and then opened his own vintage record shop/clothing store, where it was all 70's items. Danny's other love was wrestling, so he also decided he needed to try that. Danny ended up hearing about the SWF, and according to Extreme, his hybrid technical/high flying style is what convinced him to hire Danny.


Profile of Jimmy Jam
He was born James Garrett in Los Angeles California. Jimmy, being a child of the 80's, grew up in the era he came to love, and when the decade passed, he never let go, seeing the oncoming 90's generation as inferior. Jimmy started his own 80's tribute bands for various rock groups, playing lead, as well as bass guitar, and singing. Jimmy also opened his own record shop in San Francisco, where he worked while he trained to become a wrestler, a dream of his, since he grew up in the golden age of the WWF. When the SWF tryouts came to San Fran, Jimmy was there, and according to Extreme, Jimmy showed great high flying skills, and wrestling knowledge, plus he has a soft spot for the 80's too, so he liked his "gimmick".

Profile of X
He was born Scotty Phillips in Pine Bluffs Wyoming, to wealthy parents who owned, and operated a meat packing plant. Scotty grew up the all-American kid, was in boy scouts, had good grades, etc, then, he got into the grunge movement of the early 90's. Scotty changed his name to X, separating himself from his wealthy parents, and moved to Seattle, which ironically was funded by his stake in his family business. In Seattle, X trained to become a wrestler, since he, like all the SWF wrestlers, grew up loving the sport. X ended up at the SWF Seattle tryouts, and Extreme says it was his fast paced brawling that impressed him, explaining how he was hired.


Profile of Ayatollah Sheik
He was born Yosef Hussad in Sari Iran amidst much poverty. Yosef overcame all that however, becoming a reputed amateur wrestler and weightlifter. After dominating the Iranian scene in both of his fields, he decided it was time to come to America, ready to compete at the pro level of wrestling. When he felt prepared enough, Yosef sent a tape to the SWF, and Extreme says Yosef reminded him of the Iron Sheik, so he gave him the Ayatollah Sheik name, and signed him, since he could really wrestle, and also showed tremendous power.


Profile of Lt. James Dingle
Dingle was born in Tulsa Oklahoma, but moved to San Francisco where he became a police officer. Dingle is said to have been a bumbling cop, only solving crimes after completely botching up everything. When he was tired of all the reports his exploits forced him to write, Dingle quit the force, and sent an audition tape to the SWF. Extreme apparently liked (since Dingle is newer, we don't see any footage of him on the subject) Dingle's technical wrestling skills, and "interesting" behavior, so he gave him a shot, which obviously landed Dingle a contract.


Profile of Walter
He was born Walter Sobinski in Chino California, where he grew up spending most of his time bowling. Walter became a regional bowling champ in both singles, and team leagues. After a while, Walter wanted to put his large size to better use, by pursuing a career in wrestling. Walter showed much anger and hostility in his promo tape he sent to the SWF, and according to Dean (since as stated earlier, Extreme was gone before he could comment on the newer talent), Extreme loved it, seeing the eery similarities to Walter from a favorite film of his, The Big Lebowski. Extreme had Walter come in, was impressed by his superb brawling ability, and tweaked his character to better match the movie Walter, giving birth to the Walter from SWF.


We then head back to Dean, who tells us to tune in next week for the final SWF Backstage, and that SWF Main Event returns in 2 weeks!

Just before we can see the logo, one of those weird "SOON" promos hits. This one says "Don't fear, because it will all end......SOON". I'll tell you, these promos certainly have me interested.

END OF SHOW

Random Stuff, the return!
I just thought I'd really take the new and improved blog for a test drive, and see what is really up. I must say, the ability to spell check is fantastic, and saves me the trouble of using Word Perfect to check all my stuff on before posting. Anyways, let's start hitting some various random points:


Reno 911's 2nd season just started, and the show still rules.

Ali G returns July 18th, and I'm ready!

Another show I like, Dead Like Me, returns in July as well, so this summer's TV is shaping up for me.

Summerslam is also coming up, which since it started, has been an event I look forward to all year. I hope WWE can deliver, and not dump all over any progress they've made by it being another glory moment for HHH.

My main man, Hulk Hogan, recently commented that he is thinking about a return, all I have to say is YES! PLEEEEEEAAAAAAAAASEEEEEEE, come back Hulk! I am getting so fed up with the garbage in today's wrestling, and it seems the man that made me a fan in the first place, just might be the only one to keep me a fan. I'm sure he will return, he's almost a lock for Wrestlemania 21 next year. I'm already counting down the days, and waiting to buy a ticket.

Another big return could shake things up, that of Bret Hart, who rumors say is pretty much 100% to do a one night only goodbye appearance on WWE programming before year's end. I don't even have to go into detail about what an earth shattering, instantly classic moment that would be.

Lastly, another wrestling thought: I was trying to work on finishing a review of a classic WWF PPV, and when I started to write about the Road Warriors aka the Legion of Doom (who's WWF theme was just playing on my Winamp playlist), I came to a sad realization. The duo literally did everything a tag team could do, and despite whatever WWE hype says, no team can ever measure up. Even sadder is the fact that Hawk passed away last year, and now it feels as though part of that great legacy is gone forever. But after watching some LOD matches, I realized that while no new chapters can be written in the team's saga, their legacy continues on in the hearts and minds of fans like myself, who think fondly of the team, and still get goosebumps when they hear their old theme song, or watch one of their many great in ring successes.
What a rush indeed.

SWF Backstage, Episode 3 6/19/04
We are welcomed to the show by host Dean Bokerlund, who tells us that tonight's show will profile the members of Faith & Devotion, The Breakfast Club (The Principle included), The Good Ol' Boys, Tripp, The Suicide Brothers, and the newcomers Alabama Man & Miss Alabama. He also of course get the never before seen footage of the departed former owner Extreme Superstar to accompany the bios.


Profile of Xavier Hawthorne III
Xavier was born in Danbury Connecticut, where he grew up on professional wrestling. Xavier was a fine young man, as a boy scout, honor student, and even captain of the debate team, which was undefeated under his leadership. Xavier grew up to become an accountant, but always wanted to give wrestling a shot. After seeing the provocative change in his beloved wrestling, Xavier decided that he needed to inject his own conservative views to save it, so he started training, and when the SWF tryouts came to Hartford Connecticut, he made sure to be there. We go to the footage of Extreme Superstar, saying that Xavier impressed him with his "Old school" style, and his right-wing attitude seemed like a good gimmick.


Profile of The Reverend
He was born Curtis Miller in Lincoln Nebraska to a strict, very religious family. As he got older, his beliefs pushed him into a becoming a priest, so he joined the local seminary at age 18. The young man proved to be a very charismatic speaker, and before he knew it, he was the leader of his congregation in his hometown, chosen as the successor by his aging predecessor. While he loved being the head honcho at his church, Curtis wanted more, so he continued his studies, and left the congregation to study at the Vatican! Curtis eventually cracked under the pressure, and when he lashed out at everyone, even the pope himself, he was forced out. With nowhere to go, as he was shunned by his religious community, Curtis decided to pursue wrestling, something he always enjoyed, at least until the "Attitude" years of more adult storylines. With a motivation similar to his future partner, Xavier Hawthorne, the man who now only wanted to be known as The Reverend moved to Seattle, where he trained to become a wrestler. When word of the SWF got out, The Reverend tried out in Seattle, and the rest was history. We get the Extreme footage, where he says how he liked the character he came in with, and the classic wrestling skills he showed.


Profile of The Breakfast Club
Since these guys are new, and not much is known, they all get lumped in here together. Dean says The Billion Dollar Man didn't get much info on the several new talents that have come in, since it was on short notice. Basically, we get exclusive footage of Extreme Superstar with the Breakfast Club(also with James Dingle & Walter) in what we are told to be the SWF training center. Extreme is telling them that he is proud of the next batch of SWF talent, and says it is now time for them to come up with characters. Extreme says film and televison might be a great place to find characters, and basically, he looks at the people right there, and suggests the gimmicks they end up using, based on their similar looks to the characters. After the footage, Dean tells us that Breakfast Club are a group of kids who wanted to be wrestlers from Salt Lake City Utah. The Burnout is Alex Myers, The Jock is Ray Mitchell, The Nerd is Zachary Willard, The Rich Girl is Sabrina Avery, and The Freak is Samantha Warrington. The Principal was not in their clique, he was added later, he is actually Ronald Newsom, an aspiring wrestler from Long Island New York.

Profile of Rory Rogers
Rory was born in Austin Texas, and grew up in rodeo, as his father was a rodeo clown. Rory pursued the rodeo at a young age, and developed into a major player in that field, winning competitions from the juniors, all the way up to the professionals. His only competition seemed to be Charles Gunn (yep, that Charles Gunn), who was a local rival of his on the junior circuit, before they became best friends. Rory & Charles both decided to go pro, and there, Rory won 3 championships, with some of his wins even having to come from beating Charles. Rory suffered a pretty nasty injury in one tournament, and had an epiphany, that he wanted to do what he and Charles talked about many times before, quit bull riding to become pro wrestlers, something they both had the life long desire to do. Rory did so after recovering from his injuries, so did Charles soon after (we'll get to him). Rory trained hard, and when SWF tryouts went through Austin, he was there, and got the job. We go to the Extreme footage, where he says he was impressed with the "Fiery Texas fighting spirit" of Rory, seeing a great brawler in him.


Profile of Charles Gunn
Most of his rodeo experience was covered in Rory's bio, but there is some of Charles' stuff missing. Charles Gunn was born in Dallas Texas, before moving to Austin when he was about 10, where he gave his future friend/tag partner Rory Rogers a run for his money in junior rodeo competitions, defeating the seemingly unstoppable young Rory on several occasions. As said before, Rory & Charles became best friends, then entered the pro ranks of bull riding together. There, Charles, just like Rory, won 3 championships, with some of those wins coming by defeating Rory. Also as said before, Charles & Rory dreamed of becoming wrestlers, and Rory ended up using his injury as an out to do so, while Charles stuck around the rodeo circuit a bit more, then trained to join his friend, which he eventually did. We go to the Extreme footage, where he says Rory recommended Charles, so he had a look at him, and was very impressed, so he signed him to the SWF, bringing him in with the first wave of four newcomers (one actually turning out to be the infamous Julio Maniaco, aka "Extreme in disguise"). Extreme says Charles is quite fast for his size, and not only a great brawler, but a great scientific wrestler as well.


Profile of Tex Gentry
Tex Gentry was born Marty Chase in Memphis Tennessee, where he grew up on southern wrestling, and country music, both of which he dreamed of as careers. Marty learned to play guitar at an early age, and is said to have always been a gifted singer, who used to be in the school choir. When Marty became a teenager, he decided to make himself over, ala Elvis, and develop a flashy new name, and style to market himself as. He chose the name Tex, since it sounded like a good southern name, and Gentry since it means noble. Tex soon left home for Nashville, where he did gigs singing at any bar that would have him, and there he cultivated quite the following. When getting a major record deal didn't seem to pan out, the newly dubbed Tex decided to try wrestling. He trained hard in Nashville for some time, then, he sent a tape to the SWF, which was just starting to take off. Extreme Superstar liked what he saw, and as he says in the footage, he was even more impressed when he saw him live, after he invited him to tryout in person, so he got hired. Extreme says Tex is charismatic, and one great, faster-paced technical wrestler.


Profile of Tripp
Tripp was born Stuart Atkins in Milwaukee Wisconsin, where he grew up loving wrestling, heavy metal, horror movies, and television, but nothing else. Stuart pretty much mooched off his parents and did nothing until they kicked him out, so he decided to try wrestling. We are told he isn't really a stoner, but since everyone thinks he is for his lifestyle, he used it as a gimmick in wrestling. Stuart changed his name to Tripp to reflect his gimmick, and went to the Milwaukee SWF tryouts ready to impress, which he did according to Extreme, using his fast paced style. Extreme also liked the gimmick, since it parodies stoners, and is fun. Obviously, Tripp was hired, and that's that.


Profile of the Suicide Brothers
Mike & Jack Suicide were born Mike & Jack Anderson, in Columbia South Carolina. They were simple down home boys who dreamed of being pro wrestlers their whole lives, so they pursued it. We find out that mike is older by two years, but they started training at the same time. The two eventually heard about the SWF tryouts coming to their town, they went, and got hired. Extreme says they had very exciting styles, and worked well as a team. He says it was apparent the duo would be one of the SWF's top teams, which they are.


Profile of Alabama Man & Miss Alabama
All they had time to find out was that Alabama Man's real name is Mitch Cassidy, and he's from Montgomery Alabama. He trained to wrestle in his home state, then sent in a tape to the SWF, which Extreme saw, and liked. Miss Alabama's real name is Karen Oswald, and she's from Duluth Alabama, where she actually did win beauty pageants, like Miss Alabama. Her connection to Alabama Man is that they are old friends, and also dating. She was on the tape with Alabama Man, and Extreme wanted her to come along with him. We also find out Extreme is the one who gave them their names/characters.



We go back to Dean, who says that next week's show will be good, with profiles on The Janitor, Crazy Phil, Octane, Generation Gap, Ayatollah Sheik, Lt. James Dingle, & Walter!


Before we go off the air, the weird music starts again, and we see a scene of blood raining down onto an empty street. A bold red graphic then appears and says "The blood rains down.....SOON". I'm still at a loss to figure this out, but I am interested to see where this is going.

END OF SHOW

SWF Backstage, Episode 2 6/12/04

BDM welcomes us to SWF Backstage, episode 2 of 5. He then drags out Dean Bokerlund, saying that since he's a very busy man, Dean will host the rest of the SWF Backstage series. BDM then hassles Dean about his past, asking him to fess up anything he doesn't want the viewers to have to see in his upcoming SWF Backstage profile (that will be Episode 5 they say). Dean then brings up BDM's profile, which angers him, and BDM tells Dean to watch himself. Then, BDM leaves, but not before telling Dean "Don't screw this up". Dean then informs us of this weeks profiles, Petey Pizzazz, The Mercenary, JuJu, & Boppo The Clown!

Profile of Petey Pizzazz
He was born Pete (family called him Petey) Canstinada, who grew up in the California suburbs, always wanting to make it big. Young Petey is said to have longed for the spotlight since day one, and had a habit of stealing the show at parties and family gatherings. Petey's desire to be the center of attention was the reason he took up drama, being the scene stealing star of his high school theater productions. Another interest of Petey's was wrestling , as he loved the performance, and over the top action of it all. Living close to Los Angeles, many of Petey's teen years were spent hanging out in the hoity toity area, where he discovered his love for fashion and style. Seeing how highly the Hollywood types regarded designers ,the ever ambitious Petey began to pursue fashion as a career, using his visionary talents to design trendy clothes, which got him admission into the L.A. Fashion Institute. Rather than wait for his degree, and hope for someone to take a chance on him, Petey used his free time to hit Hollywood, peddling his designs to anyone who would listen. Luckily, his work paid off, and Petey began working for some of the top fashion designers in the world, helping them design stylish new clothes, and put together spectacular runway shows. During his work at those runway shows, Petey discovered that he also had a talent for cosmetology, and when he struck out on his own, he not only opened fashion boutiques across California, but got his license, and opened salons there as well. Setting up residence in Bel Air, Petey soon became a fashion guru, and he did big business, before he decided that he wanted to give wrestling a try. After a few months of training , he heard about the startup SWF, who were bringing their talent search to Los Angeles. Petey, having picked up the trade quickly, decided to try out, and he wowed Extreme with his verbal and in ring skills. Extreme says as much, even calling Petey "Quite possibly, the most charismatic SWF superstar".

Profile on The Mercenary
He was born Nigel Landon in Mossel Bay South Africa, and was said to be a loner since day one. Nigel didn't have many friends in school, despite being an all-star shot putter, and weightlifter, setting school records that stand today. His mother said that Nigel just didn't like the types of people who tried befriending him, as he felt they were only sucking up to him. Nigel also had a problem with apartheid, the system of segregation that ruled his native land until the early 90's. Nigel wasn't about to stand for the discrimination against blacks, as they were the only ones genuinely nice to him, yet were seen as second class citizens. So, Nigel organized a militant group, of like minded whites and blacks, and stood opposed to the injustice of apartheid. They would march and protest, deface the property of apartheid supporters, but never actually caused physical harm to anyone. When apartheid ended, young Nigel then focused on strongman competitions, winning many in South Africa, before moving to Scotland, a hotbed for those types of competitions, allowing him to prepare for the Met-RX World's Strongest Man contest that takes place in his home country. An injury put a halt to Nigel competing in the contest, so he then decided to come to America, to pursue wrestling, since he grew up watching, and was inspired by. Nigel took up residence in New York City, where he trained, and eventually heard about the SWF, which he decided to try out for. Extreme says Nigel was just dominant, with an intensity and power that made him stand out. Extreme says that if he can continue to sharpen his skills, Mercenary could become a major star.

Profile of JuJu
His real name is Marvin Jones, born and raised in Detroit Michigan. JuJu was always bigger than the other kids, and used his size to excel at football and basketball. However, once he discovered boxing, he abandoned the other sports, as he enjoyed boxing much more. Marvin finished high school, then started his amateur boxing career, hoping to build a good rep before going pro, but he suffered a pretty bad head injury, leading to his only loss, and caused him to be put on the shelf for a while. While he recovered, Marvin's sports agent started talking about how American rules football leagues that had started in London were in need of more players, and paid well, so Marvin decided to do that, rather than return to boxing. While there, Marvin played against future top NFL players, and those looking to make more money during the off-season. Also, Marvin became friends with a British wrestling promoter, who talked to him about wrestling, another one of Marvin's interests, but hadn't thought of as a career. When he was finished with his third season of football, Marvin trained with the promoter, then returned home to Detroit, and continued his training, hopefully to have a major promotion pick him up. Marvin then heard about the SWF, so he showed up at the Detroit SWF tryouts. Extreme says he found the original voodoo gimmick funny, but saw the potential of JuJu as well, which has shown through since he dropped the voodoo stuff.

Profile of Boppo the Clown
He was born Toby Fredericks, on Uniondale Long Island. He was always a happy child, and coincidentally, the class clown. Toby also was a highlight of school plays, from elementary all the way to high school, usually as the comic relief. After high school, Toby decided to go to clown college, since the circus always interested him, and he liked making people happy. After doing the circus stuff awhile, he struck out on his own, going home to become a children's entertainer, doing his act for birthday parties and such. But, Toby was unhappy, as his only clientele seemed to come from the rich people, with snobby kids. Toby then quit that, thinking of what he could do that he would enjoy, so he thought of wrestling, which he loved, and saw almost every time it came to town. Toby figured his clown gimmick would work, so he used that ala Doink, and after months of training, he got the chance to make it a career, trying out for the SWF in New York City. Extreme says that Boppo is an interesting gimmick, especially since he does hardcore wrestling, which Extreme feels he does very well. He also says he is underrated when it comes to promos.

We head back to Dean, who closes the show, telling us next week, we see profiles of Faith & Devotion, the Good Ol' Boys, Tripp, & the Suicide Brothers!

And, wouldn't you know it, before the closing logo, we hear the whispering voice again, this time, saying "Deliverance from evil will happen....", then we see "SOON" in the blood red letters again, before the closing logo. This is getting interesting to say the least.

END OF SHOW

SWF Backstage, Episode 1 6/5/04

The Billion Dollar Man opens the show at the SWF Production Studios, saying that this series of 5 shows will uncover facts about EVERY SWF talent (including the announcers), things that he had to hire private investigators, & pay various agencies, like hospitals, police stations, etc. to reveal, the stories behind even the most mysterious SWF stars. BDM also says that, for all those "Extreme Superstar fanboys & girls", each profile will include previously unseen footage that was initially going to air as a special before BDM took over, which explained how all the talent came to be hired. Without further ado, BDM presents the 1st addition of SWF Backstage, profiling the members of Cash Inc, the members of Sex Connection, & Captain Fantastic!

Profile of The Billion Dollar Man
He was born Paul Andrews, in Boston Massachusetts, in the heart of the rough and tumble South Boston area to a meager earning, but tight knit family. Paul despised the conditions he grew up in, and even early on, vowed that one day, he'd make it out. The hard knock life got to Paul, and from his teens until his early twenties, he abused alcohol, and caused trouble, before giving it all up and turning his life around. Realizing his mistakes, Paul took on THREE different jobs in order to pay his way through community college. It was college where Paul discovered that he had a interest, and talent for the stock market. Paul was actually so talented, he piqued the interest of Boston University, who then scooped him up, and he finished out his education there. Paul continued to excel, graduating at the top of his class, and after graduation, he was a hot commodity, first working as a stockbroker, then establishing himself as a major player on Wall Street, where he's earned the wealth he loves to brag about today. While most see Paul as disdainful of the lower class, and uncaring, there are two people that do mean a lot to him, his mom and dad. Paul may have become more self serving on his meteoric rise to excessive wealth, but he never forgot his loving parents, who stood by him, no matter what. And that's why Paul made sure to but them a beautiful home in the luxurious Palm Springs area, and even one for his only sibling, Russell, who is two years younger. We then see the never before seen footage of Extreme explaining how BDM was signed. Extreme says BDM came to the Los Angeles talent search, and proved to be both a great wrestler, and speaker, so he got hired.

At the conclusion of the segment, BDM is shown, irate, yelling about how the people who cut these pieces together delved too much into his personal life, upset that they documented his troubles with alcohol, then he finds the man responsible & fires him!

Profile of Jahalaman Jaffe
Jaffe was born to Arab royalty in Tabuk Saudi Arabia, and was doted over since birth. Jaffe always had an interest in America, being enamored with our country's capitalistic ways, but especially our entertainment. Jaffe is said to have loved our movies and television so much, he refused (even to this day) to watch anything else! The two particular things that he loved most are Pro Wrestling & Rap music, which is the reason he personally, and Cash Inc rap music as their theme songs. When Jaffe turned 18, he set off for the states, making Beverly Hills his new home, with tons of cash, to pursue his dream of wrestling. His wealth paid for the best training available, which is evident when watching him. Jaffe honed his skills, then took to Japan and Mexico to wrestle, learning all the different styles of the sport. Extreme says Jaffe showed up at the L.A. tryouts, the same one as BDM. He then notes that he very well may have witnessed the birth of Cash Inc, because he spotted Jaffe, BDM, & Joe Money conversing, and getting along famously. Anyways, Extreme says Jaffe showed his world class talents, and comments that Jaffe takes to the mic with ease as well.

Profile of Joe Money
Joe Money was born Joe Monticello in Oakland California, and started making mischief at a young age. Joe was handful to deal with at school, and home, always causing some kind of trouble. His parents say that whenever something went wrong , Joe was most assuredly involved. Joe grew up to be a rebellious youth, preferring to hang out on the streets, which was no place for a kid barely into his teens. Joe started running small street side gambling games, like three card monte, gaining street cred, using the name Joe Money. Joe pulled in good...well, money with his games, and eventually expanded his operation once he was older, including bootlegging movies and other merchandise. After a while, Joe had built quite a little empire, and he decided that he could be putting his money, and talents to better use, so he went straight, getting into real estate. That move proved to be very profitable, as Joe now owns the most successful real estate agency on the west coast. Extreme talks about Joe showing up to the L.A. tryouts, which he says, with all three members of Cash Inc, and a few others coming out of it, was the most productive tryout. He then says that Joe showcased a great deal of charisma, and brawling ability.

Profile of Randy Mann
Randy Mann was born Randy Andopilus in Billings Montana, where he would have been resigned to work in the farming industry if he didn't escape, so he did. At 18, Randy took his dreams of being a famous film or television star to Hollywood, where he got a shot at the big time, filming several pilots for tv, none of which have ever seen the light of day, because they are said to be absolutely awful. We are told that the exact number of pilots he filmed was three, the first being about a man who was abducted by aliens, who then decided to keep him, and allow him to live amongst them, causing all sorts of zany fun, titled "My Friends The Aliens". Randy played the lead, Tom Wiggins, the abductee. The next was about two rouge nuns who seek justice for the lord titled "Nuns With Guns". Randy played the nun's superior, Father Pain, the leader of the Heavenly Justice Squad, who commission the nuns to eradicate the sinners. The show actually filmed a full 13 episode run that never made it to air. Lastly, Randy did a comedy set in medieval times about a gay prince and his royal family that was deemed too offensive, and abandoned after filming the pilot, that was titled "Queen of the Castle", with Randy starring as the prince. Randy then made a foray into TV movies, making two that also never aired. First, there was the groundbreaking drama, that was sure to raise some eyebrows, if not only for being completely absurd, "My Daddy Is My New Mommy", in which Randy Mann, so distraught over the loss of his wife, begins to dress like her, and takes on her role as mother for his 7 year old daughter, then meets a new woman, who dresses as a man, and the whole family face the prejudice of a small southern town. The other was about an abusive woman who beats her husband, titled "A Woman's Scorn", with Randy playing the battered husband. Randy, realizing his failure as a TV star, made one last attempt at mainstream acting, with the sleek and sexy low budget film, "Night Mistress" about a blonde vixen who rides around 1980's Los Angeles, ridding it of corruption and gangs. Randy played the villain, Mendoza, who both despises and loves the sultry Night Mistress. The film seethed with racy passion, and while never making it to the masses, it was circulated underground, and became a cult, cult classic. With the film's minuscule, but existent following, small-time porn maker, and future SWF talent, Beef Macho signed him on to do some films, satiating Randy's newfound following, and giving Randy a new career. Randy changed his last name to Mann, and the rest was history. Randy and Beef became best friends, and business partners, producing more porn films a year than any other company currently in existence, under the studio banner of "Sex Connection", hence their SWF team name. Randy seemed content with that, but as a long time wrestling fan, and hearing about the startup SWF, he decided he wanted a part of it. Randy had never considered it a career, but being it great shape, he signed on for a wrestling training camp, and established himself as quite a hot prospect. When the SWF tryouts finally hit town (Los Angeles), he was ready to go. Extreme says that Randy is an incredible talent, who he sees as a future main eventer, once he gets the experience under his belt. He also says while Randy hadn't reached his full potential when he first saw him, it was apparent that he was going to improve by leaps and bounds, both on the mic, and in the ring , which he then states, that in the progressive training (the SWF stars all trained vigorously for a few months before the debut), and in the matches since then, Randy has already proven him right.

Profile of Beef Macho
Beef Macho was born Luis Ortega in Miami Florida, and was said to be a very lively child. Luis loved Spanish and dance music, and would dance around the house listening to it. Luis actually entered local dance contests, winning several from his pre-adolescent and teen years. Luis eventually decided that the flashy life with beautiful women and money was what he wanted, and he achieved it, pursuing photography as a hobby, with the ambition to one day be a photographer for adult magazines, which ultimately came to pass. After making some connections, he found his niche at the lower echelon of adult cinema, where he started producing, and starring in his own films, under the new name Beef Macho. After seeing Randy Mann's (still Andopilus at this point) tour de force performance as Mendoza in the electrifying Night Mistress, he signed him for some films, and they became fast friends. The first film Randy and Beef did together was a full-on porn version of Night Mistress (a film that could be classified as soft-core porn) called "The Right Mistress" and even starred the original Night Mistress herself, Tammi Kincaid! When Randy started pursuing wrestling, Beef decided he wanted in too, having also followed the sport since he was a child, so Randy actually helped train him. Extreme says Randy came to him, and suggested Beef, who possessed the charisma and talent as a possible star. Extreme had Beef come in and he met with him, saw a tape of Beef training and cutting promos, he liked what he saw, and Beef ended up doing a run-in on the 10/18/03 addition of SWF Main Event to make his debut.

Profile of Captain Fantastic
Captain Fantastic was born Brian Miller in Olympia Washington. He was teased as a child for being "A skinny nerd", and didn't have many friends, so he found solace in comic books and wrestling. The constant teasing eventually convinced him to start working out, hoping to one day be like his comic book, and wrestling heroes. His work in the gym paid off, and now, he's in incredible shape. Brian, being a good student, used his grades to get him into the University of Washington, where he studied business, with aspirations to open his own comic book shop. Brian did end up getting his own shop, settling in Seattle, where business was good. Brian then used the profits from the store to enroll in a wrestling school, where he trained, then found out about the SWF. Brian, using comics as his inspiration, took on the Captain Fantastic persona, and made a big impression at the Seattle SWF tryouts. Extreme comments that he liked the character, seeing it as a positive gimmick for kids to get into, but not only that, Fantastic also proved to be a talented all-round wrestler.

We go back to BDM, who wraps things up, and we get the lineup for SWF Backstage # 2, profiling Petey Pizzazz, The Mercenary, JuJu, & Boppo The Clown

Just before we see the closing logo, we hear weird whispering, and the screen goes black, then a whispery female voice says "Don't be afraid, it will all end", with the word "SOON" popping up right after, in big, blood red letters, then we get the logo. We've been seeing these types of things since Slamboree, what does it mean?

END OF SHOW

SWF Main Event 5/29/04

We open with BDM in the ring, and he announces that he's decided that he will not be booking a June PPV! the reason is that on the weekend before the 4th of July, and the 4th itself, he goes to the Hamptons, so he doesn't want to work! This also means the July 3 show is canceled. Also, saying now he's done with doing the things he wants, he's gonna just cancel shows when he feels like it! He then proceeds to cancel all the shows set for June, to just to justify not having the June PPV! He does say that special revealing life story shows will air in place of each of the canceled shows, that will shed light on EVERY SWF superstar, and are things he doesn't have to book. Then, he goes on to say that he needs to catch a plane to his summer home for a Memorial Day party, so tonight's show is canceled as well!

We fade out, but get a bizarre "SOON" video, like we saw at Slamboree. This is all very odd, what does it mean?
