[THE REAL NINJA]

hey neils, i watched " Beyond the Mat" last nite. pretty good film, the story of jake the snake is very sad

WWE has a DvD out about him . He goes into detail about his life and drug use. He says that he was tricked into thinking that 'beyond the mat' was a doc to teach kids to stay off drugs. So in short he claims that he was only acting . He also said that he and his siter lived with family and when she became pregnant he was afraid that they would be kicked out, so he beat her . His sister later was murdered by her boyfriends angry ex [have to check on this could have been someone else] and a unknown blackman. The body was never found but the cops said that by the amount of blood found in the car there was no way she would have been alive.

[THE REAL NINJA]

Kevin Federline draws a mixed reaction in the public eye but there was no doubting the aspiring rapper's fighting spirit as he entered the wrestling ring on Monday. Britney Spears' estranged husband squared up to one of the wrestling's biggest stars, John Cena, at Miami's American Airlines Arena in front of a 15,000-strong crowd.

The 28-year-old managed to overcome the odds and beat the 6ft 1in champ in the no-rules contest - albeit with a little help from a 25 stone wrestler named Umaga, who hit Kevin's opponent with a title belt and knocked him to the floor.

Kevin's stamina clearly hadn't been affected, though, despite the fact that he'd been partying the night before at Mansion Club on Miami's South beach. Like his estranged wife Britney, the aspiring musician seems to be relishing his new-found single status as he celebrated New Year's Eve at a glamorous party. Sporting huge diamond earrings and an all-white suit, Kevin was joined by a gorgeous companion in a revealing gold-sequinned dress for the late-night event who is WWE's Smackdown! Champion Dave Batista's girlfriend, ECW Interviewer Rebecca DiPietro

Federline cuts better promos than 80% of the roster.

Im tired of Cena.

This thread is for people who are fans of pro wrestling organizations to discuss the current storylines, free agents, quality of matches, nostalgic posts about the old WWF, ECW, or WCW - or to book their own fantasy wrestling cards.

This thread is not for marks, but rather smart fans who realize that pro wrestling is a choreographed entertainment event with people under contract with the organizations for writing storylines.

This thread is not for people who wish to point out that wrestling is "****** because it's fake" or "not a real sport" or "for nerds", etc.



Looks like the new ECW may be done already:

From what i just read time is already up for the new ECW

MAJOR Shakeup In ECW: Heyman No Longer Booking

source: PWDB.com

Dave Sherer has reported that a meeting took place before Tuesday's edition of ECW on the Sci-Fi Channel between Vince McMahon, Kevin Dunn and Paul Heyman. Citing disappointment with the reaction at ECW Arena in which fans chanted "This show sucks", low ticket sales (particularly for the July 4'th show in Philadelphia) and a 15% drop off in ratings from week one to week two, Vince McMahon made the decision to put an end to the "ECW Style", including a break from all old ECW characters to be re-written and re-cast in the WWE style. The idea is to turn ECW into a third brand of WWE, with a roster and storylines more in line with that of Raw and Smackdown.

Paul Heyman's control of the ECW brand has been reduced to the capacity of "advisor", while Tommy Dreamer has been completely removed from the creative process, and will act only as an on-air character. Heyman had written a script for last night's show, but it was all but thrown out when Vince McMahon disapproved of it's content and had the WWE creative team re-write the show from the ground up. Paul Heyman was also relieved of his backstage duties, as WWE brass took over and ran the show as they ran Smackdown later that night.

It is expected that the staff of ECW referees will be given their release as the company moves away from the ECW image and incorporates the brand into the WWE fold. ECW ring announcer Stephen D'angelous has already been terminated by Vince McMahon.

Mike Johnson adds in his report that beginning with last night's broadcast, the ECW roster will not be flown in for television tapings, but instead will only call for the appearance of those scheduled to work that particular show.

The general opinion backstage is that when ECW finishes it's 12 week scheduled run on the Sci-Fi channel, it may be reduced to an internet program for WWE.com, or done away with altogether.

okay new topic: what do you all think of Andy Kaufman when he wrestled? Personally, I think Kaufman is one of the best, if not the best, wrestling villian of all time, he just knew how to get the crowd mad, and his promos were just plain brilliant. your thoughts?

As a wrestler, obviously he was ****, I mean he was a comedian, as a worker (much like say Hogan, thought Hogan proved in Japan he could wrestle, in America he basically worked the crowd into a frenzy and that’s that), he was one of the best. I mean the guy made Memphis crowds riot for ****s sake.

He knew how to work a crowd and thats the most important thing in wrestling...

WWE is a mess right now. 90% pure garbage. I havent seen smackdown in over a year, so Im gonna tape that and check it out. All I know is WWECW and Raw are very bad most of the time. I gave up even taping raw because I end up fast forwarding through most of it.

Anyone ordering the 30 min. Angle/Joe match PPV Sunday?

Oh yes. The last match was easily a ?***1/2 +?match and this one is even more intriguing than the last. Both guys know each others moves and patterns and that always works in a rubber match (Joe/Punk III is a great example of it) and I’m interested in seeing who will come out top. Joe should win as he is the future of the company but will Angle’s ego allow it to happen?

Add AJ/Abyss (those matchups in 05 were awesome), The return of Jerry Lynn whole be in there with Daniels and Sabin (early candidate for MOTY maybe) and a cool main event, I’d be crazy not to.
