2005: (02/25/05): New
Look...Same Great Taste! This Week Featuring: My Deep Dark
Secret; Lex Luger Is Guilty...Of Being A Fucking
Moron; Anvil In Trouble; Stone Cold = Dr. Evil? Me Getting
Biblical; Vince Doesn't Have A Leg To Stand On; Amy Weber
Fucks Off; TNA Is Not OK; Motivation: TWF Style! And Buying
Batista's Underwear.... All This, Plus More!

Hello all, and welcome to the
column that’s a lot like an absentee father... emotionally
damaging and totally undependable: The Back-Leg Frontkick! I
am of course your party host, the Good Reverend Sean Carless.
And I do actually mean “Reverend.” You see,
thanks to the miracle of the Internets, I am now ordained to
practice Godliness in the whole of North America. I
really wish I was joking, but sadly I am not. You see, I was
turned on to a certain fly-by-night website, that guaranteed ordainment in one
day, and all without the years of silly theology
and faith that often goes with a traditional
ministry. Which is too bad, because I was really looking
forward to dispensing the full gamut of my biblical
wizardry. So, since it fit all my
criteria (absolutely ZERO effort), and gave me a pipeline to
the big man upstairs, and believe me, thanks to the life I've
led, I need all the help I can get, I signed up, filled
out the questionnaire, and here I am, an honest to
goodness minister, ready to dispense Jesusness like it was no
one's business.
From there, I learned that for a
small price, I can actually send away for a
*special* "minister package", which I'm hoping isn't literally
the genitals of some televangelist. I guess we'll find
out.
Under the rules of my ordainment, I am
now apparently *legally* able to perform a slew
of religious ceremonies, ranging the spectrum from
marriage to last rites. Although, I unfortunately found out
that it's kinda frowned upon to do the latter to people
who are still very much alive. But what if I just
want them dead?
No? Whatever.
Anyway, according to the
guidelines of this obviously reputable organization, I can
even construct my very own church! However, I may
hold off on that for now, because I don’t really see my
congregation growing while being housed in my mother’s
suburban townhouse basement. Although, the prospect of mom
bringing a plate of sandwiches instead of communion
wafers would be a breath of fresh
air.
Oh
well.
Apparently, the only practice I’m NOT
qualified to practice is circumcision, which is A-Ok
with me, ‘cause I never really was that into handling
junk not belonging to my person. I mean, seriously? Who would
willingly choose to handle penises? Sure, it'll get
you some perks in Prison like cigarettes, and not getting
shanked in the shower, but what pray-tell is the reason anyone
would pursue this vocation in the real world? "My
real reward comes from the joy I feel when I know a guy
doesn't piss all over his balls by accident anymore. You can't
buy satisfaction like that". Dear god.
(LITERALLY~!).
That all said, some people who know
me well were horrified to find out this news, as they feel my
ministry will not exactly live up to the lofty moral standards
set by men like Jerry Falwell, Billy Graham, and the Million
Dollar Man Ted DiBiase. The latter of which has A LOT OF
FUCKING NERVE passing that collection plate around. And
sure, I’d probably take a more unorthodox approach (which
according to JR means I'll kick a lot and do too many rolling
thunders) to my duties, as I cleanse the impure souls of
various young lasses by baptizing them in a giant Mr. Turtle
pool filled with gravy and 18 inch kielbasas; but hey, we all
worship the father in our own
way...
You know, I may have
finally found my true calling in life. After all, who can
spread the word of the dangers of sin better than a man (me)
who has partaken in many of them just while writing this
column? And besides, am I any less credible a man of the cloth
(a cloth that came in handy last Sunday during the Divas skit)
than Vince Russo? I think not. Hell, if Russo can cast off the
shackles of sin, lesbian storylines and alienating minorities,
surely I can be a credible minister of faith? Right? RIGHT? (This is the part
where you agree with
me.).
So, with that said, as I get ready to go
out into the world and spread the word of God (any donations
can be made here), my first act as a
minister here, will see me looking at several of the wrestling
industry's biggest sinners; those individuals who embody
specific “deadly sins” and pardon them of their
spiritual wrongdoings, as only I can… through baptism by way
of tasteless jokes and stinging acerbic hatred!
‘Cause as the Father says, to err is human, but to forgive is
divine, so if God can forgive me for my many wrongdoings (one
of which is ordering the Carmen Electra ppv last weekend),
surely, I can find it in my heart to forgive. So let’s get on
with it….
SEVEN DEADLY
SINS:
Pride:
HHH; If the Lord
thy God can give his only son to cleanse us all our sin,
surely Vince can cleanse the WWE of his son..errr in
law. At least for a few months. Because, you see, to
HHH, PASSOVER is just relegated to Jericho
& RVD not getting World Titles. And if God's son can
sacrifice himself for the betterment of the world, surely
Vince can do the same to HHH for the betterment of the World,
Wrestling Entertainment? I mean, sure, it's not nailing HHH to
some wood, but it'd be nice if he actually work the
midcard…the same midcard he insists that he’d have no problem
working…yet, hasn’t been a part of in over 6
years….
Come on, HHH. If J.C. can give the shirt
of his back, surely you can give up the belt around
your waist. And perform your own set of miracles (and not just
getting a good match out of Batista.). How about taking a
basket of midcarders, and turning them into SUPERSTARS~!. I'll
follow you barefoot through Galilee if you can pull that off.
Well, that, and cutting down your "sermon because you Mount
Stephanie" to maybe like 5 minutes. In and out, baby. Raise
Lazarus from the dead, or maybe just Booker T's main event
status, and move on to the next miracle. I'm begging
you.
Your penance? Six
months in midcard, a gimmick change, and a fucking shave.
Lemmy has an excuse for his beard. He’s
been baked for 40 years and has no concept of what he looks
like anymore…
Greed:
VINCE MCMAHON; Oh Vince, when is
enough, enough? Have you not bled us dry enough with 12
pay-per-views a year, and now you smite us with 15? As it says
in the good book, it is better to giveth, than to receive. But
hey, when was the last time you gaveth me anything? My broken
spirit and depleted wallet are testament to this. I'm not sure which
testament. Probably the Old. It had more pain & suffering, after all.
Anyway, I’m sitting here, foam shopzone
knuckles on hand, my Big Show “Big all over” T-shirt crumpled
into a ball in the hamper, and completely broke… all while you
sit in your Ivory (Titan) tower counting my blood money and
occasionally swimming through a vault of gold doubloons a la
Scrooge McDuck, whilst you throw darts at people's pictures on
the wall deciding which newcomer you'll push, and
which you'll just make a fucking garbage man or pirate
for shits and giggles. You ever hear the old expression, “give
the shirt off your back?” Well, you can go ahead and keep your
shirt (but get rid of that hound's-tooth jacket)… but make it
up to me by giving me the shirt off Steph’s back…
then perhaps the bra off her back as well; you know, just
to round things off. I don't make the rules. An eye for eye. A
tremendously gigantic tit for a
tit.
Your penance? 4 or 5 pay-per-views to a
calendar year and actual nudity in a Divas skit. If I can
actually have the women in my congregation wear white
whilst being dunked in water or pudding as it were, surely you
can do the same. You know, as sexy as that completely
non-transparent deep-mauve is in Wet T-shirt
contests. ARE YOU NOT
MERCIFUL.
Envy:
JEFF JARRETT. Double J,
you are guilty of the deadly sin of envy…envy that you are not
Triple H. The
total dominance, the being the focal point of EVERY show,
hiring "stars" just so you can defeat them, and having
“Daddy” in your back pocket… it all smells of HHH, and you sir
are no HHH. You
know, there was once this guy who had probably the best
connections with his dad going...yet HE chose to make it
on his own. That man’s name was
Jesus, buster, and he did it all his way! Jesus GOT OVER HUGE
on skill, baby, and skill alone. Sure he could call in a favor
from Dad and have Pilate turned into utility donkey or
something, but he went down his own path. BAREFOOT. And
he certainly didn’t rely on the same tired gimmick over and
over again like a balsa wood guitar…no sir, when the fish
gimmick got old, he went back into his bag of tricks and
healed a few lepers, walked on water, and even brought a
person back from the dead! The closest Jarrett came to working
with a lifeless body was almost pulling a credible match out
of his ass with Kevin Nash…. Still though. Come
on.
Your penance: Just disappear.
Please. Take your quasi-homosexual pink muscle shirt and box
tights and take off…
Lust:
ROB FEINSTEIN. What of
the code of honor? What of it, Rob? Surely that just wasn’t a
line you told your crew of smallish…young…boyish wrestlers…hey
wait…. How could we not see this coming? The whole company was
made up of hairless teenage looking wrestlers…and Samoa
Joe, but that was a beard baby! It was a clever ruse to
throw us off track of the real happenings! The nonsensical
flips off cages and guys puking post-match were there just to
blind us to the truth! And for the record, why didn’t you ever
sit Samoa Joe down and say “Joe, listen, we know your Samoan,
we “get it.” The tropical shirts and lei’s tipped us off. You
may want to think of a new name if you ever want to make an
actual living anywhere.”
You
know, I may have had a point in this whole ramble but I doubt
it, so let’s move on
Anyway, Rob’s penance: Sex with a
woman…and not a dude in chick’s clothing. A real fully
functioning pussy (not X-Pac). And maybe you can also
send me an actual version of the Iron Sheik shoot video
that actually makes fucking sense,
too.
Gluttony:
STEPHANIE MCMAHON. I
know I always make jokes about Steph’s weight, but that’s only
because I used to be so attracted to her..umm, personality.
That’s right. Both of them, in fact…. She definitely has a
great set of
personalities….
Anyway, times have changed, and the once
svelte form of Mrs. Helmsley has transformed into something
that might be seen clung to the side of theEmpire
State
building…swatting away planes and helicopters, ands not
writing good TV.
You’d think that the wife of a body builder would be in
better shape, but unfortunately, it looks like the only “reps”
she’s been doing is opening and closing the fridge door. Don’t
believe me? Take a look at this before and after
pic.
*shudder*
Personally, I believe the true culprit to
be HHH. I mean it’s a strange coincidence that since they’ve
had a “relationship”, she has nearly tripled in size?
probably? Somehow, I believe that by passing on his
anabolically charged super-seed to Steph, she
has metamorphed in size and in strength, much like the
steroid driven Bane in the Batman comics. Also, to make
matters worse, her voice, once shrill, has transformed
completely, as the sounds now heard emanating from
her mouth now appear to belong to someone who has smoked
500 cigarettes a day for 1000 standard human years. It’s kind
of scary….yet sexy at the same time. I mean, part of me, the
part that is twisted, wonders what it would like to be
violated by Super-Steph than left for dead. I think I need
help…
Anyway, Steph’s penance is… I’m not
sure. See, if my assumption is true, her rapid growth may not
be her fault, and her transformation into The Hulk (it has yet
to be proven if she can also leap many miles like Hulk. If so,
I’d imagine it save the company considerable travel expense)
would not be a sin at all. But if it is gluttony, her
penance is to lay off the butter for a while. Well, unless
it’s to lube up her giant body. Then by all means
continue. And videotape it. You know, to teach people
the error of their ways! That's it. The masturbation
part is just for dramatic effect. It's all about helping
sinners! I promise! Maybe!
 Sloth:
KEVIN NASH; It takes a lot of strength of character to
pull yourself up after a severe injury. It takes none to just
lay there in a heap
crying.
Penance: Three Hail Mary’s….like Fredo in the
Godfather 2. Than two shots to the back of the head…like Fredo
in Godfather 2….
Wrath:
BOB HOLLY. Hey,
we’ve all been there, Bob. Life is passing you by; your bald
spot has reached epic proportions to which it may now be used
as a helipad, and those red and white race-car jammies that
hang in your closet, the very same ones you once wore
with pride for 6 years, now mock your very existence. At this
point, it’s natural to feel the urge to pound the life out of
someone like Rene Dupree. But don’t do ‘cause he’s a rookie.
Do it because he feathers his hair, and can't seem to go five
minutes without getting an erection.
Seriously though, I understand your rage, but it
doesn’t make it right, Bob. But don’t fret; you’ll always have
THE BEST DROPKICK IN THE BUSINESS. No one can take that away
from you. Mostly because they're actually learning exciting
moves, but hey,
whatever.
Penance: A return to
NASCAR!... Only I’m driving and you’re
running….
Anyway, that’s enough for today. This
ministry business is exhausting. And I haven't even got
to the part where I turn Harry into my own
personal Mideon by making him drink my blood. Maybe next
week. I'm tired. Although, it may have been all the
communion Jim Beam err I mean “wine” that I’ve drank while
writing this. But whatever brings me closer to God, right? And
by that, I mean I've drank so much I don't think I'll make it
through the night. Good thing I have this all-access pass to
Heaven now.
Guilty As Charged.
Well, it’s
SuperBowl weekend….and I actually couldn’t possibly care less.
As countless people across the nation load their ugly families
into their rusty pickups, and from there, share on-the-turn
hotdogs with other obese shirtless, face-painted heroes in the
parking lot of the Alltel Stadium in Jacksonville Florida
before taking in the “big game”, I myself will instead be
banging out this column, then probably taking a gander at
whatever spyware laden porn link our own Harry Simon has
decided to private message me with this evening. But to each
their own. I hold no ill-will toward those millions watching
tonight’s game. For you see, I too have an uncontrollable
obsession. And even though I don’t paint my face, my crimes
against humanity are MUCH WORSE. You see, I am a Wrestling Fan, and in the name of
my favorite past time, I have partaken in a lot of activities
that quite frankly I am ashamed to speak of today. But
speak of it, I will. Some people may call it therapeutic, but
I call it column filler…..
Anyway,
there was two brief times in my life when it was acceptable to
admit you were a wrestling fan; one was the Rock and Wrestling
era of 1985-88, a time where you could utter the term
“Hulkamania”, and still not worry about going to bed alone
that night. The other was of course the Attitude era, where a
multitude of husky gentlemen could be seen in all walks of
life wearing their discolored nWo tees, with a hint of gut
peeking out with little to no backlash. Think Comic Book Guy
if he said “4 life” a lot and had a basic knowledge of
submission wrestling. Anyway, one could go about their fandom
during these times, and not feel like a complete moron, if
only because the media deemed it socially acceptable. However,
times ultimately changed. Today, you are a social pariah if
you're seen wearing your foam John Cena knux. But mostly
because they're ridiculous.
That said, going back
to three years ago, my girlfriend at the time was helping me
reorganize my closet, when a dusty box appeared…and no, I’m
not speaking of her vapid genitalia, although she was not
as forthcoming as I would have liked…. but one that harbored
my full Wrestling video collection. (and keep in mind, she had
no idea just how deeply involved I was into the sport.).
Anyway, I quickly grabbed the box and attempted to scoot away
with it, but my girlfriend stopped me and basically said:
“Nice porn collection there! You’re not fooling anyone!” and
then I uttered “it’s not porn…it’s wrestling…” and opened the box,
revealing a full load of videos… complete with cheesy homemade
cases I had constructed for many of them. Her face turned to
absolute horror, and it struck me at that moment that she
probably wished that it was porn,
because quite frankly, being a pervert who likes to watch
horses fuck really tall women
is a lot more plausible
to most people, then watching 4-5 hours a week of sweaty dudes
rolling around in their underwear.
Anyway, Pandora’s box had been opened,
and my secret was out. But bless her heart, she honestly tried
to understand. She even watched RAW with me on Monday night’s
a few times, but never really “got it.” “Why would Vince hire these guys (Hall,
Nash and Hogan) to destroy his own company?” she’d ask.
And I’d ultimately answer...nothing. I’d just look over and
shrug my shoulders and say, “it
doesn’t have to make sense, it’s wrestling.” To which she’d reply,
“Well, it’s
stupid.”
Our
relationship pretty much ended soon after that. But it was for
the best. She had a habit of using a little too much teeth on
her blowjobs, and I secretly feared being left with a member
that resembled a microwave hotdog that you forget to punch
holes into first. And yes, this was the reason it
ended, and not my emotional unavailability. I'm telling
you.
Anyway, to
finally gain closure on my disease, (I've caught INOPERABLE
LOCKER ROOM CANCER from HHH and Hulk Hogan) I will now
supply my laundry list of stupid wrestling fan
crimes:
-For almost ten years, I created
championship belts made out of cardboard that I drew, and in
turn colored with pencil crayons. I was something. This
of course was for my imaginary wrestling league that I ran
from 1985-1993…where I was 16 years old. 16 YEARS OLD. And you want to know
what’s worse? I still have the “WWA” championship belt in my
apartment closet. But hey, who knows? One of my adversaries
from the old days…who no doubt have children and pay mortgages
now, may show up at my door and want to throw down…and I’ll be
damned if I’ll just forfeit my
championship! I lay down for
nobody.*
*Everybody. I'm easy and a whore.
-I
traded a series of Batman comics in 1991 for…. a pair of
bicycle shorts. Get it? They’re tights and I was a wrestler! And even though,
normally, that wouldn’t be too bad to say you own a pair of
bicycle shorts…I’ve never cycled in my entire life, and
instead would squeeze my pudgy 14 year old ass into them when
it came time to “compete.” (I even wrote in indelible
magic-marker “Stunning Sean” down the side (don’t
ask…please.).
-TWF's own Jason Hart and I
manhandled neighborhood children with a variety of wrestling
holds, leaving a path of broken bodies in our wake…and no, we
had no idea that actually injuring people makes you a SHITTY
wrestler. I also thought at age 15, that pressing kids over my
head would impress girls. They ultimately felt sorry for the
guy I dropped behind my back and gave me no play. They had no
appreciation for my mightiness. Why is it that when Hulk Hogan
slammed fat people he was applauded, yet I was bemoaned?
Because I was a teenager and they were small defenseless
children? Maybe.
-During a house show in 1994, I attempted
to give Doink the Clown a complicated handshake as he made his
way around the ring slapping fans hands. He shook his head and
pulled away. Fuck you, Phil Apollo! You sucker of cocks!
-During this same house show, Jason and I
had an in depth conversation with Dink the Clown
backstage….then bragged about to it some girls at the
concession stands. One of the girls liked me….until I
revealed my excitement over talking to… a midget...in a clown
suit, no less. Fuck her. Girls are a dime a dozen. When
are you ever going to see a midget in a clown suit again? Or
want to?
-Jason and I chased Bret Hart’s limo…with
Jason even jumping onto the hood as it sped from the Memorial
center parking lot. Bret somehow resisted the urge to
excellently execute us that night. Or call the police. Lucky
us.
-While in Toronto, Jason, me and
several other friends used to think it was funny to blast
“Real American” while stopped at Intersections. And pretend to
rock out to it. Or not pretend. THAT SHIT SHIT STILL STANDS
UP, AND I'LL TAKE ON ANYONE WHO SAYS OTHERWISE. Come on. He
fights for the rights of every man. What more could you
want?
-While other kids in my class listened to
Public Enemy in high school… I taped Mr. Perfect’s theme song
off an episode of WWF Superstars and looped it over and over.
I thought I was quite clever. Sure, they could do the
Running-man. But could they Perfect-Plex? I think not. Perhaps
one day a situation will arise where snaring someone in its
inescapable grasp will come in handy.
Hopefully.
-I
still can't chew gum without spitting it from my mouth
and propelling it with my palm across the room. It's
true. And if I toss a towel to you behind my back, you
better fucking catch it.
-I actually used the phrase
“It’s Austin’s
house now” (from a Survivor Series’96 promo) in an argument
with a girlfriend. She was less
than impressed. But hey, screw her. (which I only did once.
Unfortunately).
-When a fat
girl slipped and fell
into a table in the food court, my friends and I began yelling
out “E-C-Dub! E-C-Dub!” We laughed pretty hard. Oh, and ya, I
was 25 at the time….
-I
once turned down sex so I could watch a taped episode of
Nitro. So for those reading. Ciclope > Sexual intercourse.
Ya, I’m a loser.
-I
constantly hum wrestler theme songs. I mean all the time. And
while this happens to most people with catchy pop songs, it
ceases to be cool when you do an entire riff of Tiger Ali
Singh’s remixed 1998 theme song….
-I
taught my grandma the mandible claw. And yes, I am serious.
(old people have no teeth so it’s an easy application…).
-To this day, I can’t pass a family
member/friend/girlfriend in the hall without pretending to
clothesline them. Or not pretending. They can't bump for shit.
Amateurs.
-I can’t dive into a pool without
flashing the Superfly symbol first (sadly this is also true.
Fortunately, this is where my Superfly tribute ends, as the
fact that my girlfriend is still alive will no doubt
prove).
-
I know Erik Watts’ 1992 WCW theme song, verbatim.
-I
thought it would be hilarious on Valentine’s Day in 1995 to
record myself singing a Boys 2 Men love song for my then
girlfriend…in Hawk of the Legion of
Doom’s voice. She was not pleased at the romantic ballad
of the throaty Road Warrior. Too bad. But at least I saved
money on flowers. Even if I couldn't convince her to get up on
my shoulders as a follow up.
-When I was 17, a girl I was interested
in (who also liked me) began playfully wrestling with me. I
got a little overzealous and applied Repo Man’s “crowbar”
leg-lock and made her cry. I never heard from her again. I
chalk this up to credibility of the hold (SHE WANTED NO MORE
OF THAT!) and not wonton physical abuse. She's just lucky I
didn't further take a page from Repo and steal random
articles of her clothing for no
reason.
So, in closing, these stories have not
been embellished because they need no embellishment. They are
simply, horrifyingly, the story of my life as a short, stocky,
slow-witted, bald man. OK, I am none of these things, but I
always loved Seinfeld…maybe a little too much. But I’ll get
into that another day.
Headlines!
At
first, I was going to hold off doing the Back-Leg this week,
but I couldn’t resist tackling some of these wrestling
newsbits. So, with that said, you know the drill...I take
headlines floating about online…and make light of them because
I’m a bad person and stuff.
Mission
Jimpossible: Guess "WHO" just got
sued:

Former WWE star Jim Neidhart and his wife
Ellie (Stu Hart's daughter) have been accused of stealing
$10,000 in jewelry from the house of John McCann, a Calgary
businessman, between March and September of 2004. Neidhart
ended up selling the jewelry to a pawn shop. McCann ended up
paying $9,937 to get the jewelry back. Neidhart's wife claims
that the charges are "faultless" because the jewelry belonged
to McCann's wife, not McCann himself. The Calgary Sun has an
article up on this story
here.
What the
hell happened to this family? Since the death of the matriarch
and patriarch of the Hart clan, this family seems to be
disintegrating faster than a leper in a hot tub. However, this
whole allegation is hilarious nonetheless. Upon hearing about
how the Neidhart’s nabbed jewelry, I immediately got the
visual of Jim, dressed in full cat burglar attire, using that
slingshot shoulder block of his to cascade through a large bay
window, cleaning out the goods, then yelling out to Ellie
while stroking his goatee “Come on, baby!!! Bwahahahaha!!” I'm
telling you, it happened EXACTLY like
that..
But, you
know, Ellie should know better.
Stu would not approve of this kind of action. Did the awesome
power of the sugar-hold teach you no discipline, Ellie? It
sure seemed to work on those crying football players. Oh well.
Still, pulling heists with The Anvil, beats getting sodomized
while you sleep, I guess. Seriously. She allegedly mentioned
to Diana (at least according to Diana) that Anvil would anally
rape her while she slept, then in turn passed this “trick”
onto Davey Boy Smith. Who’d then apparently follow suit on
Diana, as The British Bulldog veered off Di's Piccadilly
circus, and went straight down the Hershey highway whilst she
slumbered. That's some quality tandem offense. And here I
thought they just went over double-team holds, and psychology.
Those Harts really go the extra mile. No wonder they held so
many titles! Ahem. Still though, if the ass-fucking IS true, I
don't see the problem, personally. Those Hart's are MASTERS of
execution, so I'd assume it'd just look really painful, but in
reality, you wouldn't feel a thing. I mean, if they can make a
piledriver look devastating and the guy can still walk after,
surely getting boned in the cornhole would be the same thing.
Get your head in the game Diana. And maybe your ass in a
chastity belt.
But hey, if
they do get formally charged, Jim can maybe eventually look
forward to that same
treatment.
The
following was an excuse to talk about nothing while making a
lot of lewd jokes. Mission ACCOMPLISHED.
BANG
3:16
The drama between Steve Austin and his
ex-girlfriend Tess Broussard is still not over. Celebrity
Justice reports that Steve Austin has officially filed a $185
million lawsuit against Broussard, citing many allegations
including Broussard putting a gun in his mouth before turning
it to his friends, the Los Lonely Boys band. The full article
on this story is available
here.
185 million dollars?! Am the
only one who got an immediate visual of Steve Austin, dressed
as Dr. Evil when I read that? Clearly, he missed the boat on
following that up by tying her to a conveyer belt that
rolls slowly towards a giant diamond-tipped laser
cannon.
Tess: "Do, you expect me to
talk?"
Stone
Cold: "Uh uh, Miss
Broussard! I done expect your ass to
die!"
Anyway, this story just keeps getting
more interesting. But you know, if she did force a gun in Austin’s mouth,
(and not the kind that says BANG 3:16) I say it’s only
fair. After all, she has had to stick all kinds of things in
her mouth over the years! I've seen it on Skinemax. Turn
about is fair-play!
But seriously, "then
she turned the gun on Los Lonely boys band"?. She should
be REWARDED in this case. I think the *real* tragedy
here is Austin’s choice of friends. Perhaps if Stone Cold
is going to choose his friends from the music industry, he
should maybe keep the company of some gangsta rappers. If he
had, the bitch would be on ice in someone’s trunk right
now and Steve could finally sleep easy! Well, as easy as
one can sleep in pajamas with giant orthopedic knee braces
over them.
The 7th
Seal Has Been Broken….
There are grumblings in the back that the
WWE Divas may be credited with the recent surge in ratings.
The Smackdown Divas have had no problems co-existing with the
male wrestlers while the Raw Divas have had a more difficult
time fitting in backstage. Stephanie McMahon has been working
with the Divas on their pre-taped segments and most of them
are only signed on a week to week basis with no long term
contracts.
If this is indeed true, I may
be forced to bang my head on my desk until I draw blood...or
die. Whichever comes first. But seriously, I think it’s time
that we “Smarks” admit that we’re sadly out of touch and don’t
know what the general population wants or likes. Perhaps Vince
does know his target audience,
after all. And perhaps I shouldn’t have masturbated so much to
these Divas. I feel so dirty
now. I did my part to spread this plague! I’m as much to blame
as the next guy! I’ve sold my brothers out! I rejected the
technical mastery of Misawa and Kawada for tawdry carnal
pleasures! But there is a solution. The
remedy involves watching Benoit Vs. Angle from Royal Rumble
2003 repeating continuously until any and all thoughts of
these Siren-like temptresses are stricken from my mind for
good. Then, and only then, can I take my first step back
towards regaining my “smark” status. I feel so ashamed. But
hey, that Maria does have quite
the rack on her, though… NO!!! I can’t stop! Help me! GOD HELP
US ALL!
Made In The USA DUI
Wrestling personality Lex Luger — whose
real name is Lawrence Pfohl — was arrested Monday morning on
I-575 on DUI and other charges, Cherokee authorities said.
Pfohl was spotted stopped on the side of
the interstate by a Cobb County police officer, said Cherokee
Sheriff's Deputy Nicole Ebbeskotte. When the officer went to
investigate he found Pfohl, 46, of Marietta slumped over the
steering wheel of his vehicle, Ebbeskotte said. Pfohl woke up
and drove away, and the officer called Cherokee authorities
for assistance.
Pfohl was taken into custody on I-575 at
Ga. 92 and charged with DUI, driving on an expired tag,
alteration of tag, no proof of insurance and open container,
Ebbeskotte said.
Pfohl's girlfriend and manager, Elizabeth
Hulette, 42, died in his house in April 2003 of an accidental
overdose of pills and alcohol.
So, Luger fled the scene? I
can’t imagine it’d be too hard to catch up with him. After
all, just how fast can a 100 foot, red, white & blue bus
possibly go?
Anyway, Luger these days is a
walking comedy of errors, and this story can only end badly if
you ask me. Perhaps it’s time Luger follow a
certain best friend, and trade in his steroids, pills and
bad attitude, and propel from roof tops with the Stinger,
spreading the word of the one true Christ. as only a dark
mysterious figure in terrifying face paint can. It’s got
to be better than what he’s doing these days. (slamming
Samoans? Not remembering the number for 911? IT'S ALL HE
KNOWS!).
Anyway, as
it turns out, the DUI was the least of Flexy Lexy’s problems,
as he was finally sentenced to five years probation this week
after pleading guilty to possessing over 1000 pills including
anabolic steroids. Huh, who knew that after all these years of
being called the “Total package” that the real “package”
contained enough steroids to fund the entire East German
Olympic team for the next
two millenniums?
And isn’t it
funny, that no matter what the circumstances are, someone
always mentions Elizabeth dying on Lex’s watch? This is still
a sore point for a lot of us wrestling fans, (who toasted our
first loads to the classy Miss Elizabeth) because Lex was
probably laughing too hard at what he thought was Liz doing
her spot-on Great Muta impression, and thus had no clue
that she was actually choking to death. Stupid fucking Luger.
Here was one case where the wrong “rack” lived to see another
day.
Going to
Extremes.
WWE has
trademarked the name "ECW One Night Stand" which may end up
serving as the name for the proposed June 12th ECW reunion
PPV. The PPV is slated to be held in New York City. The PPV
has not been officially confirmed by WWE, but it does appear
likely to happen.
One Night
Stand? To me, this may be bring up too many sore memories for
the boys who are no doubt trying to forget about the gonorrhea
they no doubt contracted from various ring rats they picked up
outside the Bingo Hall. But, then again, it does beat my
suggestion of “ECW: Watered
down shit.” I mean, really though, come on. I can’t
imagine WWE putting on a true tribute to Extreme Championship
Wrestling without stroking their egos in some way, and ruining
it. I mean, they’ll probably bring out Stephanie to host the
show. After all, she was
technically the last “head” of ECW!
And what
about Rob Van Dam? The fact that his DVD has been
released…with absolutely no fanfare whatsoever, should tell
you how they really feel about arguably ECW’s biggest star
ever. Hell, they could have probably filled the thing
with 18 chapters of a wasted RVD feverishly trying to open a
bag of Cheetoes to no avail, and the company would
still be none the wiser. And don’t even get me
started on Paul Heyman’s alleged lack of input into this
thing. Ya, that makes sense. That'd be like trying
to repaint the fucking Mona Lisa yourself, while you have
Da Vinci out mowing your grass. Or something. I don't
know.
What I do know is, I’m
cynical, and if for some reason they pull it off with the same
level of integrity they did with the actual ECW DVD, I’ll
be the first apologist. I may have to make fun of HHH's
fucking mustache first, for no reason, but I will
apologize. But, still, I'm skeptical. You have to
remember, THEY HAD ECW in 2001, with many of its stars
HEALTHY, and they still amalgamated it with their
terrible mongrel WCW roster, with the bulk of their “Extreme”
booking seeing Jerry Lynn get repeatedly murdered by
fucking K-Kwik on Heat. You get a few Mark Jindrak's
fucking running around, and suddenly Justin Credible's looking
like a pretty decent World Champion. THIS WAS
EXTREME.
That said, hiring Super Crazy
and New Jack for one night isn’t enough. Although, if you want
to find a creative way to axe the Dudley's, hiring Jack would
be a good way. Well, if you want them legitimately axed.
This
thing needs to TRULY be ECW. So, no paychecks for
anybody! Err, I mean, complete with Joey Styles, Heyman,
Cyrus, Douglas, Jerry Lynn and Rob fucking Van Dam...healthy
and closing the show, and mysteriously profusely sweating
through the asshole of his unitard despite only jumping around
a bit. A watered down paunchy Tommy Dreamer, drinking
barbicide, then caning Nunzio won’t cut it. It’s all
or nothing, baby! And please, don’t have HHH or JBL involved
at all… no matter how hard you want to rub our faces in it,
Vince. We get it. WWF won. If Vince was President after WW2,
He'd have forced Japan to hang a huge picture
in the capital of a mushroom cloud with himself giving a
big thumbs down. That's how he rolls. (Umm, literally
now).
McMahon Down
Vince McMahon
is expected to miss at least the next two months of TV as he
recovers from his quad injuries. He could end up being out up
to six months.
McMahon tore one of his quad muscles
during the Royal Rumble and then tore his other quad trying to
walk to the back on his own power. Vince has always tried to
never show pain in front of his workers since he demands so
much of them.
Word is that McMahon is very frustrated
right now, not only because he can't attend TV tapings but
also because he can't workout. McMahon has always been
obsessed with his appearance and does not want to return to
work looking thin and old. This could keep him from even
showing up at WrestleMania, since he will only return after he
has had time to work himself back up to his normal shape and
size.
What’s the
deal with all these quads in the WWE? You know, Vince, Nash,
HHH… Droz..
Anyway,
truth be told, when Vince slid into the ring at the Rumble and
basically just sat on the mat, the first thing I thought was
he must have shit his pants. Maybe he saw Armageddon's
buyrates, I thought. Seriously though, he’s always walked
to the ring like he was constipated, so maybe it was finally
“go time” and he unloaded his bounty? Who knows? Anyway, as he
barked out orders while basically sitting there like an old
man, comfortable in his tepid bath, I laughed at the very real
possibility that the industry’s most powerful and influential
man had painted his drawers. Unfortunately, it turned out to
be worse, of course. A quad injury is one of the most painful
muscle tears you can get, unless you're slamming a 900
pound Andre, and ripping every muscle in your
barn-door back en route to killing him 3 days
later. Part of me admires his toughness for not
blubbering like a baby, or a 7 foot pussy in pleather
pants who's wrestled once in 2 years and trips and explodes
after two steps. Or something. However, walking back to
the dressing room on your own power, basically supporting your
full weight on one leg while your quadriceps literally hang
off the other like strands of spaghetti is just about the
stupidest thing I’ve heard in a long time. I mean, the only
thing dumber would be starting a football league where
you give dialogue and characters to fucking cheerleaders.
Oh.
That said,
there comes a time in your life when you have to admit
that you’re getting old and that Randy Orton is just not
over. Or maybe just the first part. No amount of
ridiculous power walking in a powder blue tracksuit, or in
Vince’s case, injecting “breakfast” through his toes will
change the inevitable. You HAVE to admit that you’re breaking
down and there’s nothing you can do about it. I mean, come on.
Vince is actually starting to look like the Frankenstein
monster, as his head looks like it was sutured to a much
younger body. Somewhere out there in a closet, there's a
portrait of Vince with a 20 year old head with a pudgy body,
bitch tits, a baggy Bermuda shirt and
orthopedic socks. And there in lies the problem. And
this is a message to all the heroes I see out there over 55
with their refusal to give it up: NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU WORK
OUT YOUR BODY, YOUR HEAD STILL LOOKS LIKE A DEHYDRATED APPLE,
and there’s no amount of fucking “Participaction” that can
change this FACT. It’s just nature’s way of reminding you how
ridiculous you are. So, come on, Vince. Tone it down. ‘Cause
the way things are going, the only way you’ll be able to see
your grandson’s graduation one day will be as a disembodied
head a la Futurama. And he'll still probably insist on working
a street fight at Wrestlemania. The payoff though, will
be seeing Shane shatter the jar with a
Van-Terminator.
What A Tangled Weber We Weave…
As it stands, Amy Webber will
not be returning to WWE at this point. We’ve heavily reported
the facts to her situation with WWE regarding the strip club
flyer, the ribbing, as well as the plan journey between Japan
and Alaska.
Apparently Webber injured her
tailbone while practicing for a match that was scheduled for
No Way Out. According to sources, the landed awkwardly when
she was thrown out of the ring, and suffered a painful injury.
During the plan journey, she
confronted a trainer asking how to treat the injury, as it was
causing her distress. Another person asked about it and she
explained. That got turned into accusations that she was
complaining about the injury, which two Raw wrestlers felt was
lame given all that they’ve been through to get where they
are. She stretched out on several seats to sleep, which
shouldn’t have been a big deal since one WWE source there were
a number of rows of open seats on the charter.
Whilst she was sleeping, two
wrestlers poured a liquid on her to wake her up. It was the
physical abuse that she says happened to her on the flight
that caused her to quit and fly home on her own, not wanting
to endure spending any more time with the wrestlers on the
flight back from Alaska. “They are a bunch of assholes
basically who think that they can get away with anything,”
says a source close to Weber, who adds that at first Weber’s
feelings were hurt from the teasing about the stripper flyer,
but Bruce Prichard explained to her that the teasing wasn’t
meant to be taken seriously, but was more just a test to see
if she had a sense of humor about herself.
One of the wrestlers who were
guilty of teasing Webber about the Flyer was JBL, however he
later apologized to her because he didn’t mean to hurt her
feelings since the wrestlers didn’t actually take the flyer
seriously. Says one wrestler: “Amy is one of the smarter
divas. JBL was just having fun the way he has fun. It was what
it was and she took it too seriously at first because she was
trying so hard to fit in. The girls just don’t understand the
mentality because they got thrown into this. Wrestlers should
be more mature, but this type of stuff is how we stay sane on
road trips.”
As reported previously, there
is some heat on John Laurenaitis because Prichard ended up
having to deal with the situation, whereas it should have
fallen under Laurenaitis’s job description. Webber, says the
source close to her, is “still speaking with her attorneys
about the best way to handle what she was put through.”
Well, things could be A LOT worse
considering what happened the last time all the boys were on
one plane. Amy should just count herself lucky that unlike
many of the stewardesses on the “Plane ride from Hell”, she
didn’t have to bear witness to a nude Ric Flair playing his
gear like the fucking pied piper leading all the children out
of Hamelin. (A skill Rob Feinstein has been hoping to perfect
for YEARS…).
Anyway, as heard on other sites, this
whole sordid mess apparently started over In Japan, where
there was a flyer with Amy’s picture on it for a massage
parlor (apparently used without her permission). The problem
though was that the flyer also promised that Weber would
provide “additional services” for the right price. The boys
then got their hands on said flyer and teased her about
it.
The rest sort of snow-balled from there to the point
where she quit. Too bad, too, because out of all the new Divas
she was the best. Does that make sense? Out of all the people
with no talent she was the most talented talentless…or something like that.
Oh
well, what can you do? I guess she can at least return to the
dignity, poise and grace of her previous occupation: SOFT
CORE PORN (Click
here). You know, the profession where
co-workers are on your ass literally as opposed to just
figuratively.
TeNAcious Move.
In what has to be considered their most
aggressive move yet, TNA is in talks with Fox Sports Net to
run a three hour special on FSN the night before WrestleMania
21. The event would apparently be held in Las Vegas. Talks
have been going on this week about the show and will continue
today. Nothing has been finalized yet.
Normally, I’d say this would be a great
way to get exposure for TNA, in the same way NWA/WCW’s Clash
of Champions was a good alternative to many a WWF pay-per-view
at the time. HOWEVER, TNA has proven, at least to me, that
they are not interested in pushing the new stars on top, as
the influx of has-been WWE midcarders who have been fed to
Jarrett’s monster ego have proven. And it’s really too bad,
because from the ground up, TNA has A LOT of talent.
Unfortunately though, where it counts, on top, the roster is
thinner than that one Olsen twin. You see, TNA is a lot like
an ugly girl with a great personality. You want to love it for
all its good qualities (the midcard), but DAMN, you just
can’t get past that fucking face (the main-event.). And
in this case, the ugly grill of TNA is made up of people that
are so over the hill they’re on the other side. I mean, why
would I care if Jarrett is facing Nash on a pay-per-view?
That’s akin to choosing which death you’d prefer, AIDS or
Ebola. Because, either way, you’re going to be suffering
pretty fucking badly.
And from there, the (s)hits keep on
coming, ‘cause here comes “Mr. Ass” (Monty “Billy Gunn” Sopp”)
and a guy who fucked a “mister in the ass” Sean
“123syxxpac” Waltman. I mean, really, was the world really clamoring for a DX reunion
that badly? And besides, they
can’t even call themselves that anyway. And if they could,
it'd be ridiculous at their ages. D-Generated Bones? Oh
well, if they can’t resurrect DX, maybe Billy can dig
deep into his past and bring back a version of the Smokin’
Gunns with Waltman? How bout "Smokin' Crack?" It's a
tribute to the drugs Waltman required to find Chyna
attractive, and Billy's beloved Ass. IT JUST MAKES
SENSE.
Up
To Your Ass In Batista.
In my ever loving
quest to find stuff to discredit and make light of, often I
find myself traveling to WWE’s Shop Zone website.…where a slew
of comic gold usually awaits. And DEALS. I
mean, where else can you buy an Undertaker EASTER BASKET?
HOWEVER, what I found on my last trip was
greater than ANYTHING I had ever seen: WWE Auction! Where YOU, John Q.
Fucky can bid with fellow fans to purchase a piece of
wrestling history! Unless that "history" involves Randy
Savage. Because that never happened!
Ahem.
Anyway, I came across this
particular
item whilst perusing the page,
and, well, read for
yourself:
“In the weeks following the
Pay-Per-View, Batista autographed and donated his
event-worn red tights to WWE Auction for
one fortunate Batista fanatic to take possession of. As
this wrecking machine continues to build momentum in
sports-entertainment, these autographed trunks will only
increase in their sentimental value. Own a piece of
Batista's wardrobe and get ready for this Superstar to give
the word "dominance" a whole new meaning in
2005!!”.
Amazing. And the kicker is, not only did
someone bid, but the item sold, and sold for $1,473!
Yes. Someone out there, spent close to $1500 AMERICAN
dollars no less to basically own an article of
clothing that housed the boys of Dave Batista. And
hey, don’t get me wrong, I consider myself a pretty big fan of
DAVE, and I think he’s the BALLS and all that (but that
doesn't mean I want to own anything that's
touched his), but Batista could give me these trunks for
fucking free and I wouldn’t touch those things with a ten
foot pole. I mean, who in their right mind would dedicate that
much coin to basically own Dave Batista’s underwear?… worn no less. Hell, if
you're into underwear that badly, you can have mine for
no charge. But be warned, they look like someone smoked a
carton of cigarettes through the asshole. But
seriously, the product's tagline alone
here would be enough to stop me in my tracks. END
BID. "Give the word "DOMINANCE"
a whole new meaning?". Dear god. The fact that THIS
is being said about UNDERWEAR, terrifies me as to what
actually transpired whilst he was wearing them. And how much
rubber DAVE was wearing while it happened. (Coming soon! Own
The GIMP MASK Batista wore whilst penetrating some poor
motherfucker with a riding crop and a cat o'
nine-tails!!).
Anyway, upon further inspection, I
noticed there was quite the little bidding war going on there,
and the funny part is that a bidder, going by the net-handle
of “bigdaveylicious” not only bid…but kept bidding, DESPITE THE FACT THAT THEY WERE
THE ONLY ONE’S BETTING ON THE ITEM for almost an entire day. Man, someone
needs to teach this cat how an Auction works. When NO ONE else
bids, you don’t have to keep bidding. Holy
shit.
Anyway,
despite bigdaveylicious’ best intentions, someone going by the
name of “avenger” snatched Davey’s coveted Speedos away for
about $2.50 cents more, which of course is hilarious for the
fact that they spent all day
betting against nobody, then folded their tent
when someone tossed some pocket change into the mix. Better
luck next time, I guess. And to “avenger,” umm, enjoy
your prize that I’m sure by now
you’re wearing over your face like a fucking Spiderman
mask as you dance across the living room a la Buffalo Bill
with your cock tucked between your legs. Batista probably
should have done humanity a favor and just burned these. Hell,
throw them in the pyre that Vince is burning all evidence of
Randy Savage's existence. Could have saved us a lot of
grief.
MOTIVATION: TWF
STYLE!
By
now, I think we’ve all seen those motivational posters that
adorn many an office wall. They were all the rage a few years
ago, and no doubt as we speak, your idiot boss probably has
one on his office wall that says SUCCESS in bold letters with a
random serene image of a putting-green in the
background. That
Asshole.
Anyway, I had done something similar to
this almost two years ago with wrestling as a theme (several
others online have as well), but since it’s been so long, I
thought I’d update them.
So, without further adieu, prepare to be
MOTIVATED~!:


Ok, everyone, that's it for me for this
month. The Lord's work awaits! Well, if in fact the Lord
wants me to watch some late night soft-core pornography
starring Amber Smith. He works in mysterious ways!
Ahem.
I’m Sean.
Sean Carless is a man of many hats. And
he wears those hats to cover an ever-increasing bald spot.
