One pretty decent movie that DID come out during the period between this and last summer is The One, starring Jet Li(and speaking of Jet Li, where is HIS big movie this summer?) which I saw not too long ago. This wasn't as good as his last film in the states, but still pretty good. The only thing is, once again, he doesn't get any! And this time he's freakin' married! Sure, THIS TIME he holds hands and hugs his luscious wife, played by Carla Gugino, but not even a single kiss. What is it with these oriental stars like Jet, Jackie, and Chow-Yung who aren't allowed to kiss the American female star in their movies? Bad assess need lovin' too! Either it's some kind of racist barrier that just can't be broken, it's against the Orientals ways of life to do such things, or the suits behind the scenes for some reason think any kind of affection in an action film will turn away their demographic male audience. C'mon, I totally dig the action and fight scenes, but all the addition of at least a little moochin' would do is make the films more well rounded!

It has come to my attention recently that there have been some persons, pretty much all coming from members(or maybe rejected former members) of a rival fed, that have been dissing the work rate of my former partner Epi The Phat Samoan. Now, this is far from unusual in the wrestling world, especially the Texas wrestling world. EVERYONE has his or her haters and detractors. But I can't stands for these particular comments made about Epi. For they are just plain, flat-out, dumb and wrong.
There are some pretty sorry-ass wrestlers in the state of Texas, who bring nothing unique to the game. Some arguably fit, or do not fit, in this category. However, Epi is not one of them. I can guarantee that most of The Phat Samoan's haters aren't even workers, and don't know what the fuck they are talking about, and those who are wrestlers are just jealous because they just can't reach Epi's level no matter how many lame attempts they make.
Epi is the new Mick Foley. I know that everyone says, "There will never be another Ric Flair" or "another Hulk Hogan" or "another Mick Foley". Well, Epi The Phat Samoan comes as close as anyone ever will to being the next Mick Foley. And Mick Foley is a former multi-time champion in the World Wrestling Federation, including 2 W.W.F. World Heavyweight Championship title reigns. So that means that the man known as Cactus Jack, Mankind, and Dude Love was chosen to represent the biggest wrestling organization in the world by the most successful promoter in the history of the business, Vince McMahon. Coming from him, that says a little bit…nah, fuck it, a whole helluva lot more than what I, any of the promoters around here, and much less, anything you fuckin' pussy-ass, nameless haters can say about Mick Foley's type of wrestler.
The only thing is, Epi is actually better than Mick Foley. That's right, I said he was better than one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. Sure, Epi hasn't, yet, been as successful or racked up as many accomplishments as The Three Faces of Foley did. But, along, with all the extreme, insane falls and attacks that made Mick Foley famous that Epi attributes, he is a damn good WRESTLER. One who pulls off an actual superkick, rather than the "sweet shin music", and one is a whole heckuva lot better than Foley ever was. I remember back in our tag matches against The Overboyz, Corman and I would just stand in our corners and watch as Epi and Samir would pull off counter after counter, reversal after reversal, in an amazing display. And then it would come time for Corman and I to be up, and get it on. "HEADLOCK!"
So, point proven, Epi's detractors have no basis for their opinion other than pure jealousy, and the ridiculous thinking that they are better than him, or ANY on T.C.W.'s roster. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaa!!!…Oh, that's good stuff.

Well I have a new show to add to my list favorites, Max Ex. This show is downright hilarious. The scenes of accidents, attacks, and stunts are great, of course. But what really takes the show to another level is the commentary. The writing, along with the way the host says the words, are exactly my kind of flava'. The only thing is, it's been kind of hard to catch, as the networks that air seem to move it around a lot. UPN seems to maybe have finally found a regular spot for it at 11:00a.m. on Saturdays. I was pleasantly surprised to find it on when I flipped on the set a few weeks ago at that time, and then was even happier to find that that great type of cheesy, old, Japanese flicks in Attack of the Giant Monsters followed it. It's about time that channel put some quality stuff on Saturday mornings.

Next month, a special Spider-Man entry of "The Words of Seth"! Despite my complaints on how they went about doing some of the special effects for the film, I can't help but admit that I'm excited as heck about the movie and can't wait until this Friday! After all, Spider-Man is one of my most favorite things in life. So next month will be about all that, what I thought of the movie, and on top of that, I will post my idea for how to do the Spidey film, which was printed almost 10 years ago in a comic book letter page, but which I still stand by to this day! So if you aren't a fan of the friendly neighborhood web-slinger, you might as well skip next month, especially if you prefer the guy with the "S" on his chest to the wall-crawler…..just kidding.

I gots to say right off the bat, The Bronco Bowl SUCKS!!! Or, at the very least, The Canyon Club does!!! Don't go there!!!

Okay, now, my reasoning behind this tirade.

You see I went to go watch one of my favorite artists, Vanilla Ice, at The Canyon Club, located at The Bronco Bowl. Well, Vanilla Ice, and posse, was rockin', and the show(what I saw of it, anyways) really kicked ass. And I don't hold ANYTHING against him! Like I said the show was great! I brought 5 non-ICE fans with me, and they all enjoyed it(up into the crap started, that is) as well! Great job!

As for that crap, though, well…. here we go. Okay, at one point of the show, a song FINALLY came on that I didn't know, my sister(one of those 5 people I brought) pulled me to the side and was trying to inform me of a situation that happened to her on the dance floor. I guess I'll make a long story short and just say that THEN some fat bitches got in the way, they started some crap and, after informing us that they were related to the owner of the club, went on a power trip and threatened to have us thrown out. I guess this was an attempt to make themselves feel better about their pathetic lives. But, they ganged up on my sis, and I broke it up. But, it was for not, as the BARTENDER soon grabbed my sister from behind and choked slammed her out the front door, and I finally let the NINE security guards and cops escort me out the door after they had been so unsuccessfully attempting to force me("that wrestling shit is fake"?? you could "kick my ass", man?? Uh-huh.)

Well, The pigs wound up giving my SISTER the ticket for assault! I guess those fat cows really did have some pull there! I only hope that this has made them feel somewhat better about their lives, to delay the inevitable suicide they will commit when the fact that they are nothing more than fat, ugly, white trash pieces of shit becomes to much to bare.

But hey, at least my sis and I are now banned 4-life, 4-4-4...4-life from the building, not just The Canyon Club but I think The Bronco Bowl as well, (I guess even if the U.I.W. does reform to put on another show, if it's there again, I can't be a part of it. Well, maybe if I wear a mask….) as told to us by the "director of numb nuts" or whatever of the place(those heifers sure most be important heifers). That place kind of sucked anyway. It was too small, and the prices were too high. But I'll admit, I didn't really care, as the show was so kickin'. But, I have heard from numerous other people, who actually notice their surroundings, unlike me cuz I'm just there for the show, that The Bronco Bowl really does suck, anyway.

Besides that, my sister was psychologically hurt over this. She is not one who is experienced with violence, and was very upset about being man-handled by that pussy bartender for no reason other than those fuckin' bitches told him to. He and 8 of his friends couldn't do that to a man(ME. Granted I am a wrestler but still….what PUSSIES!!.), now could they??

But I do have actual THANK YOU'S to send out of this fucked up situation. A big one goes out to Nite, of T.C.W. fame(who was another one of those 5). I learned soon after being told to vacate the premises that, Thanks to Nite….let's just say other opportunities would have probably arisen for me if I had been able to stay. Oh, also thanks to a couple of the cops that were actually cool cops that informed us to make sure and how to counter the charges if they went through with the one's on my sister…..yah.

As for having to leave early, eh, you do what you gotta do for kin, y'know? And that's why I wasn't too pissed about what happened and having to leave early and shit. But, like I said earlier, my sister is another story. I stuck with her, so I ask you all to stick with me. My sis and I are banned from The Bronco Bowl; so, YOU all ban the Bronco Bowl. I know the follower's of an Indy wrestler can't make that big of a difference but hey, every penny counts(trust me, I have had a ban on Mobil gas stations for five years plus, and I take pride in KNOWING that HAS to have a little to do with why they're closing shop at a bunch of locations around here). And they aren't ever THAT crowded anyway, even on a freakin' Saturday night! So, hey, maybe we could make a difference! I have to admit combining bowling, clubbing, and concerts into one venue along with food ain't a bad idea, but I think it could be done a helluva lot better than what they have. Might as well go to the places separately, just hit Showplace Lanes and Deep Ellum in one night or something. As for the concerts, hell, I can understand that. If one my FAVORITES is coming to town and is solely booked there, I'd like to see them TRY(again) and keep me out. But, other than that, eh, fuck'em. Please?? Thaaanks.

The Ultimate Warrior - This man was my FIRST favorite wrestler; back when I just began to follow the sport. But, admittedly, I had know idea how he would wind up seeming to be one of the most difficult guys to work for ya'. He, in fact, was really the first really big wrestler to leave his place of success. This move would later become VERY commonplace, with Flair, Hogan, Luger, Bret, the NWO and countless others taking suit. Now, I can relate to leaving a situation that isn't working in your best interests. But, when someone comes and goes as much as The Warrior did, it's hard to believe that the promotions were ALWAYS the one at fault. A similarity between us to is, however, our writings on our websites. They can be, sometimes, controversial. Granted, I think he goes a little bit extreme, and so that would be going a little bit more than me. But he has a lot less backlash and bridges to burn than a young up and comer like myself. But, I do think that the writings here on this website are strong, and one of the things that make the site stand out from others. Plus, The Warrior and I both use clotheslines a lot.

"The Model" Rick Martel - Now I already described the ways that I have patterned my wrestling style off of his in that earlier entry. But, this time round I'm referring to personality similarities. And this would be, granted, focusing on when he was going by "The Model" tag. You see, I think that I sometimes give off the impression that I am conceded. A cocky bastard, you could say. And I CAN be. But, most the time, not in the way people think. I joke around a lot with friends and such. And I AM definitely confidant. BUT, as far as being seriously arrogant, eh, not me. Of course, when Martel was playing his "Model" persona, he was supposed to be cocky. I've heard in real life he's one of the nicest guys around. As for me, I've just now started with a "cocky" persona sort of, at just a couple of places. But, if anyone gets the impression that I am that way in the back, it's because of me being a loner and keeping to myselfsome times. Actually, I've heard and had people tell me that before. So I try to force myself to be social as much as possible to avoid that image.

Bret "Hitman" Hart - I have also described the ways I have patterned even the smallest of things off of "The Hitman"; however that was in my site's Bret Tribute article that can NOW be found elsewhere on this page. However, I seem to have adopted other aspects of this all-time legend as well. The first that comes to mind is a label that was thrust upon Bret later in his career; after his return from his loss to Shawn Michaels at Wrestlemania, during Steve Austin's turn to a what is now considered a "good guy", and his struggles at W.C.W. And that was the label of "whiner". One, who is bitter, complains all the time, along those lines. Bret was frustrated about how the industry was changing and how he was being treated. Going along with some of the things he said, today's "fan" lacked some respect in just writing off his points as to him being a "crybaby". Now I myself started being labeled this back in my freakin' training days. So needless to say, I was dubbed the tag somewhat earlier in my career than he did. And, although I have heard calls of "wah wah" for my comments about how I was being treated and also about certain aspects of the business as well, I think I bitch about a broader range of things then he did. Hey, at least I'm honest; won't even try to deny this one. And another common trait is us both being "old-school". Bret actually was IN the business during old-school times, so it's fairly obvious why he tried to stay this way. I just grew up WATCHING what is not nearly as old school as it gets but it is nonetheless old school by today's standards of wrestling. I do a lot of "new-school" things as well, maybe more. But some things, as has been noticed of me, I feel are better off never being changed.

Ivory - Same as Martel, I wrote especially about the things I learned from her in the same previous "Words..". Other than that, her and I seem to leave certain promoters dumbfounded on what to do with us. I mean look at Ivory; she's an OUTSTANDING wrestler, the BEST out of any of the divas on the mic, and is SEXY as all get out. Yet, where is she right now? Being featured on Tough Enough, as a trainer. Back when I watched that show, anyways, it was great. But, being honest, you don't see "The Rock" and "Trish Stratus" uh...status type of wrestlers ever picked for that show, do you? And before that, even, since the roster draft she was landed with Smackdown, but never made it to the actual show. This is a former multi-time W.W.F. Women's Champion who's been around for a good while; probably longer than any of the other women in the federation(well, other than Mae Young and The Fabulous Moolah). And the "powers that be" can't think of how to use this asset? She's had many different looks and "gimmicks" you could say; and it's ironic because in a couple of those she was against using sexuality to get ahead, with her being incredibly good looking. Pretty much all of the above can be related to me in some way. I'll admit that Ivory has more of an argument for unjust then I do. I'm still at the early stages of my career. But, at the places I've wrestled and because of what I HAVE done and CAN do, I believe that I have the right to same argument.

Chris Jericho - The reason I didn't list him as a major influence on the Information page of my site is because I don't think that I wrestle enough like him and, although same as Martel I do at a few places now, haven't really acted much like him either. However, that does not mean that we haven't managed to adopt the same label in our careers. And that is the label of "full of potential". Also, we have both been held back at times by someone of, perhaps undeserving, power. And this is, arguably of course, not because of not yet reaching our "potential" but because of politics or past personal beefs. I think I've spoken my piece in numerous places; in front of the T.C.W. fans, the IndyWarz Internet radio show, the column posted about me quitting T.C.W. on the Schedule page, my Webmaster has argued for me; about why I'VE earned some things. Jericho has spoken out about this subject on the net too. But, at times it might actually make me more mad about how Jericho's getting screwed in the W.W.F. then it does myself getting treated disrespectfully at some places in the Indy scene. So, I went to my Webmaster, again, and am going to have him post on our Message Board a column, or at least a link to a column, that I read that describes in detail how Jericho has been getting screwed. It's a good read, and a must for the few Jericho-haters that are in denial about his talent(including a so-called "Professional" who was guest on that IndyWarz radio show YESTERDAY).

Now The Warrior is now semi-retired. Well, let's just say it's a pretty safe bet that he won't ever again wrestle full-time on a regular basis for any good length of time.
Bret and Martel are retired. And, believe it or not, both former World Champions have actually stuck to it and have left their pretty damn respectable careers behind them.
Ivory is still with the Tough Enough crew. There has been talk that she will remain with the show for the next season as well. Will the current or future "writers" ever be able to find her a regular spot in the actual main wrestling programs like RAW and Smackdown, unlike they have with most of the other trainers that have participated in the Mtv show?
And then there is Jericho, the only one of these five who's still in the midst of his career at the place of achieving his greatest acclaim. Where it's going, however, is another thing all together. Some have actually said that "Y2J" has already reached his peak, and that Jericho is satisfied with it. Granted he IS the federation's only (uh...what's bigger than Grand Slam?) champion, capturing the Cruiserweight, European, Hardcore, Intercontinental, Tag Team, and Heavyweight Championship. That would be MORE than enough accomplishments to satisfy any wrestler when it came time to hang up his boots. But, I still think he has a lot more time in HIS career to go. How successful he is, or is allowed to be, during that time remains to be seen.

As it does with I as well, only without the "MORE than enough accomplishments to satisfy" part. But, even though Jericho is still up and running, we are still at very different stages of out career. The vast majority of mine has yet to be written. And where and how far I go has yet to be decided. Should be interesting. So stick around. We'll see what happens....
