• THE SUPPRESSED HISTORY OF PLAN

  • From: Ultimate_Warrior

    Condensed from Robert Morning Sky's 
    "Terra Papers: The Hidden History of Planet Earth" 
    
    I am called 'Morning Sky.' I grew up hearing the stories my grandfather told of a Space Being he helped rescue. My grandfather was one of six young Native Americans who witnessed the crash of a spaceship in 1947, shortly after the now-famous Roswell incident. 
    
    When they reached the site, they found one being still alive. They took him back to their camp where they hid and nursed him back to health. They called him 'Star Elder' out of respect; as time passed he revealed his name. He was called Bek'Ti. He revealed to them the history of mankind and the planet Earth.
    
    In the late 1960's, when I started college, I found myself entertaining the possibility that these stories might not be true. I thus enrolled in Religious Studies, an independent study program that would allow me an opportunity to research ancient records to prove or disprove the many stories of Star Elder.
    
    I submitted to my Religious Studies professor a thesis that summed up my three years of research. It was entitled "Terra, A Hidden History of Planet Earth." Within days, he had labeled it "a work of blasphemy and outrage!" It nearly got me thrown out of school.
    
    Having had no success in the academic field, I decided to contact then existing UFO organizations and researchers. The general response was to label the work "the stuff of myth and legend of Native Americans, not suitable to the serious study of a scientific phenomena."
    
    The total rejection made me angry. For nearly thirty years, I refused to even pick up a book on UFO's or New Age Phenomena. I religiously refused to read or listen to what is out there.
    
    Circumstances have changed. My Grandfather is gone, but not before he had elicited a promise from me to try once more to tell the story.
    
    The history of mankind and Earth as revealed by Bek'Ti is both exciting and frightening. Man's creation and his place in the galaxy is made clear, but in the process, Man's nobility and pride are injured. The abduction phenomena and the attending grey beings are integral parts of humanitiy's history, and explained against a framework of the Star Beings' purposes for mankind.
    
    The sources of Man's religions and the origins of legendary figures like Zeus, Osiris, Isis, the Minotaur and a number of other 'mythological' beings are explained and also placed into the framework of Earth's history.
    
    Part 2: The Story of Man's Creation 
    
    In our galaxy are billions of Star Beings. Humanoid races are the rule, not the exception. These races descended from many life forms: reptiles, insects, dinosaurs, birds and other life forms mankind cannot begin to imagine.
    
    One of the oldest Star Races in this sector of the universe is the reptilian Ari-An which descended from dinosaur ancestors in the star system of Orion. Ruled by Queens, they created the most powerful empire in this galaxy. Ari-An warriors were unmatched for ferocity and bravery, and the Ari-An Empire was unmatched in power and size.
    
    Millions of years of countless battles had allowed this Empire to develop advanced war strategies. Among these, the Ari-An practiced "conditioning" or "reprogramming" to control conquered populations and make them assets rather than liabilities. Enemies became obedient servants of the reptilian queens' throne. In this way, the Ari-Ans eliminated resistance.
    
    An unexpected evolution of another race in the star system Sirius posed a threat to the Ari-An Empire. Though not as old or as advanced as the reptilians, the warriors of the Kanus Empire, a doglike race (similar to wolves) made up for any lack with their fierceness. Even the most disciplined of the Ari-An warriors feared these vicious and barbaric Sirian warriors, who stopped to devour the flesh of their enemies on the battlefield.
    
    Rapid advancement of the Sirian warriors threatened the very existence of the Ari-An Empire. As a result, the queens approached the Sirian kings to offer an alliance. A treaty was agreed upon that delineated which sectors of the galaxy each empire was to rule and, for a time, the warriors of both empires fought side-by-side.
    
    With the birth of a new star system was born, the Sirian King was quick to claim it. As the Sirians began to exploit its resources, this new system became an outpost for both the Ari-An and Sirian Empires, and the power and wealth for both continued to grow. But eventually war broke out again, this time among rival Sirian kings. In the end, Ari-An forces joined King An. Entire worlds held by the opposition were totally destroyed, including their moons and colonies.
    
    Much later, King An sent his son Prince Ea and daughter, Princess Nin-Hur-Sag (both genetic scientists) to rebuild the destroyed world of Eridu and once again tap into the valuable and much needed resources found there. They successfully restored the atmosphere; refilled the seas with life; recreated plants, trees and flowers; and hybridized many different kinds of creatures. The planet Eridu (Earth) was reborn.
    
    New creatures were produced to inhabit the planet. One such creature, Apa-Mus, was an ape-beast hybrid whose only purpose was to serve and to slave in the fields and mines. But this beast was different from the others. It could understand orders and could communicate. Princess Nin-Hur-Sag had genetically engineered the ape-beast hybrid by using her own DNA. The beast grew in intelligence and began to teach his own quickly multiplying offspring.
    
    When another species of genetically engineered workers -- underground - dwelling Sheti Lizards, revolted and seized power, the ruling Star Beings fled from the planet. With the opposition out of the way, the Sheti used mind-control and programming techniques they learned from their masters to alter the memories of the remaining Star Being descendants. Mankind's knowledge of Star Beings was replaced with myths and legends.
    
    Sheti dominance has been and continues to be challenged by many other star races attempting to regain control of Earth -- and mankind -- for their own purposes. The struggle for power goes on.
    
    Part 3: Overthrow Attempts -- Past, Present and Future 
    
    The reptilian Ari-An race has made several attempts to overthrow the present power on Earth. In the early 20th century, the world-wide Aryan movement nearly succeeded in conquering the entire "docile" world. If, as the author suggests, they are continuing in their efforts, new movements in the supremacy groups will appear. Reptiles will appear in all aspects of the media as friendly or heroic beings, fighting on man's behalf. Reptilian superheroes will become children's role models.
    
    Religious uprisings have been staged throughout Earth's history by the Sirians. The Inquisition, the Papal Wars, the numerous "Messiahs" and the "Miracle Sightings" were engineered by them to bring mankind back into their influence. If they, too, are trying to take over the Earth as the author suggests, then a return to fundamentalism will also occur, as will the increasing appearance of angels and miraculous occurrences.
    
    Patterns show on-going efforts to direct the people of Planet Earth and also predict upcoming events: Mankind will soon be surrounded with images of asteroids and falling fiery comets. Black pigs will be seen everywhere as will angelic figures and miracles. Dinosaurs will become children's heroes and violence will be the foundation of their play. New airborne diseases, immune to existing treatments, will surface. NASA will be rendered weak and impotent, if not terminated.
    
    A galactic war of conquest rages over our heads. Earth -- and Man -- are the prize.
    
    Crop Circles -- Visual Communications 
    
    In an attempt to communicate with the descendants of Star Beings - especially those who are able to remember the "clues" -- visual signals are being sent in the form of crop circles. Signs meant for the Sirian descendants usually have a striking resemblance to ancient Egyptian glyphs, football-shaped designs, circle-in-cross forms, or circles with a dot in the center. They may also appear as mathematical formulations. 
    
    Crop circles from the Ari-Ans often have a snake-like form, or insect or bug-like creatures. Whatever the form, crop circles are signs to the descendants that they have not been forgotten.
    
    As a signal that a starship has been dispatched to the solar system and Earth, images of enormous planetary starships and crews comprised of heroic "saviours" of mankind and the Earth will be everywhere. To counter this image of a "good" heavenly body, images of falling asteroids and crashing comets will be used as justification for aiming anti-asteroid missiles skyward for "defensive" purposes.
    
    Part 4: Forms of Control 
    
    Meanwhile, to maintain control of mankind, the Sheti have introduced new devices to continue the bombarding us with a numbing and controlling electronic blanket. Many of these electronic instruments are carried on the person: Tape and CD players with headphones, virtual reality gear, pagers, pocket games, cellular phones, beepers, etc. are now commonplace.
    
    Drugs of all kinds, legal and illegal (including alcohol, tobacco and narcotics) are part of the control program to keep mankind docile.
    
    Behavior modification to prevent us from being motivated to fight for ourselves, will require that no human being be allowed status as hero. Those who do not fight back, but endure great suffering will become the new "heroes" and role models: victims, martyrs, tortured POWs, and people who die in service to their country.
    
    Population control will increase in intensity and only the select will be allowed to continue. Disappearances and abductions will increase, especially of women and young children. New airborne diseases will appear. Obesity will increase, sexual dysfunction will increase in males, and female menstrual cycles will decrease from 28 days to 25 days.
    
    To maintain control of mankind and keep us stranded on Earth, NASA will be eliminated or severely restricted in its scope. Any evidence of extraterrestrial life will be strictly suppressed and denied.
    
    Mankind's Hope: Royal Blood 
    
    The battle lines have been drawn for a coming galactic war for the domination of planet Earth. As long as mankind seeks salvation "out there," he paves the way for beings vying to become his Overlords. But mankind has another option.
    
    Though born of beasts and bred to serve, mankind was created by the genetic scientists, Prince EA and Princess Nin-Hur-Sag using their own DNA and their own royal blood. This royal line of Sirian Blood entitles mankind to claim Earth its own. This is the story that has been suppressed, the truth that was kept hidden.
    
    As long as mankind accepts Overlords and Gods, we accept an existence of servitude. When we finally remember that our own kingdom has been taken away, when we finally look to ourselves as our own Overlord or God, then and only then will we be free of extraterrestrials.
    
    The author asks the reader to investigate for himself the information presented here. Accept none of it, challenge all of it. Decide for yourself if the words of Bek'Ti are true. You are your own god, you are the master of your destiny -- if you can remember The Truth.

    Hau kola, my Little Braves. I'm sitting here on a plane, waiting to arrive for the biggest show ever in the history of this business...WrestleMania 25! I'm excited to be a part of it, Pre-Show Match or not. It'll be R-Truth, JTG and Shad (Cryme Tyme) vs. Jason Cooper, Jack Swagger and myself,Tatanka, in a big six man match to get the lucky fans who get to attend WM25 live all pumped up.

     

    I'm not really too familiar with the other men participating in the match but that matters little. I will go out and give 1000% for all you fans out there each and every single time I walk that aisle, whether it be in a bingo hall, high school gymnasium or a capacity arena. I will always give my all and I will never do otherwise.

     

    I've worked very hard to make my return to the squared circle and I am proud that WWE has given me the opportunity to do it here. The front office has been great to work with and they really seem to respect and understand what I want out of this stage of my career.

     

    Titles don't matter as much as they used to to me at this stage of the game...though I wouldn't turn down any title opportunities that come my way, obviously. I'm more into simply making sure I give all my Little Braves the best matches I can. Period. If that means a golden belt finds its way around my waist, well then that's just a bonus.

     

    I will see all of you in the arenas as I make a new name for myself in the WWE...a new name for a new warrior.

     

    YIYIYIYI YI YI YI!

  • From: Primal

    back again after a little away time and well in a way a lot has changed, but it all still stays the same.

     

    Right now Im sitting back at the arena, where we are performing tonight, Although I dont have a match I decided to go down and have a chat with some of the guys. I've been a bit absent recently, so thought it would be a good idea to show my face.

     

    The thing is that although we all need to take a break from eachother at times, there is always a place to return to. No matter if your name is Michael Shane, Jeff Hardy, Assasin, R-truth or Goldberg, the people in the lockerrooms across the country will be happy to see you, cause we can all get the feeling that we need a break from eachother, for whatever reason there may be.

    For me this feeling often kicks in, when big events are around the corner, so it eventtually had to come this time as well. I think its because I need time away from people to prepare to deliver my absolute best at Mania, both physically and mentally, when I have these periods where I "hide away", I actually spend all my time training. This time though its been a bit different.

    In recent weeks I have been moving and before you get all riled up, I havnt moved from Denmark to the states, I've been living there the last four years, but I moved to a new city, to a new apartment and away from most of the things I know.

    Now I finally settled in in my new place, but still something is missing, I left most of the people I know back, and believe it or not outside the ring Im actually a pretty shy person, so I have a hard time meeting new people, but well one of the benefits with being in this business is that there is always a show near by, where you can catch up with old friends.

    Talking of old friends I see some of them have arrived, so Im gonna head off and find someone to have a beer with.

    catch you later.

    I finally have come to my senses again, last night dragged out a bit as I met up with an old friend after leaving Jeff, Michael, Joe and Assassin at some bar.

    It was nice meeting up with this guy again, he is one of the first people I met in the business, when I still was living in Denmark. He and I spend hours in the gym trying to perfect our ring work and characters... guess who had the most success with that lol.

    Actually this guy is the person who laid the foundation for the style and moves I use in the ring today, he introduced me to the idea that a big man doesnt need to only do power moves in the ring, didnt seem right to me at that time, I just wanted to make an impact, it wasnt untill years later in Japan, when I wrestled as part of nWd with Forsaken and Unforgiven I started to see what he meant, and finally when I later met Doomsday that I fully embrased the idea.

    Thinking of it now, I probaly have given many trainers and opponents headaches trying to develoap my skill and incorperate new moves into my repetoire.

    The think is I love working out new moves, to add some more impact to my ring work, sometimes it goes well, sometimes not, as for example with the Roar Of The Beast. This was a elevatedb cutter of sorts, where I would lift the opponent into the Canadian Rack and then spin twist and turn him while in free fall, the move itself had great impact, but was pretty hard to pull off, in fact I think I only used it once on tv ending the feud between Tribal and me.

    Back when I first signed with WWE I was also trying to demonstrate that big men can fly and reguarly used a springboard dropkick, this wasnt one of my greatest plans, cause I dont really have a hard time springboarding off to get elevation with my weight, so it mostly ended with it looking very clumsy and slowly faded away.

    In WWE I never took the big risks with how I was wrestling I mostly took the advice from either trainers or other wrestlers on which moves and spots would fit, but back in the indies I did do the occasional high spot and portraing myslf as a more technical wrestler, especially while teaming with Joker in WVW where I reguarly pulled off moonsaults and used a varity of suplexes.

    In the end there has been one move that has garuanteed me success The Primal Scream, the Scream has followed me since I started out in the states, although I mostly tried to tone it down in my indy work, in WWE it has become the unbreakable lock, only nearly broken once by Big Show, it has won me many matches and given me a Wrestlemania moment as it secured me the first and only TKO victory at Mania against Kill Crazy.

    Although Im still trying to come up with new ways to improve I've gone a bit more traditional in my ring work these days, Im still trying to perfect the Vader Crush and making it work with the rest of my offense, also Im trying to incorporate a Sitout Dominator, but the rest is mostly the same.

    Well I better get going, I'll have to hit the gym

     

    See you along road

    AHHHH nothing like a night backstage with the guys.

     

    We have just finished off another houseshow and I have been sitting around with Hardy, Shane, Cena and Joe, having a very interesting conversation about all from Lord of the Rings to a tournament of death involving Barney.

    Its been a long time since I last spend this much time backstage with the other guys, Ive been a bit stressed out with both keeping up with the houseshows and keeping some personal projects alive as well, but it was a great feeling being back.

    Like I have mentioned in an earlier blog I tend to go nostalgic at this time of the year and so Ill do again lol

    I remember back when I started in WWE, actually a couple of months before, when I first walked into the locker. Back then I was working for XFW and Scott Neaman had invited me down to a houseshow WWE was doing in the area.

    The locker was filled with the stars and I nearly shit myself as Neaman suddenly pulled me over and introduced me to the crowd, the first one to react was Vince, who took a long look at me and told me to call him the next day before rushing off. I stayed close to Scott for about half an hour where I didnt dare talking to anyone, I mean all these guys were the big names, Hunter, Ryan Simmons, Michael Shane, James Steele and The Undertaker, believe me I was scared stiff.

    After a while Hunter came up to me and we started talking, we had met earlier at some of SFW's shows where I had wrestled a couple of dark matches, but without any success and I didnt actually think he rememberred me. as the night went on I started to talk with some of the others, I got the hint from Shane that Vince probely would love to book me for some dark matches, due to my size. Sadly the Boogeyman heard that and quickly jumped into the conversation. Marty wasnt happy with the direction of his character at that point and was trying to find a partner to form a tagteam, first off I thought this is my big chance and we started brainstorming on ideas right there. Luckily Ryan, Michael and some of the others could see where it all was headed and they quickly jumped in to safe me.

    Following that night I became a regular backstage, I also got to wrestle a few dark matches and eventually signing a contract which I still have lol

    During my time here I made a lot of good friends, some better than others.

    When I first arrived I remember I was terrified of James Steele, I was sure he hated me or something, then one day I walked into the locker and noone else was there but him, no need to say that the first few minutes were tence, but suddenly we started talking and to this day I think that this guy is one of my favorite persons in the business.

    Around the same time as me, Adult Viewing signed with WWE and Butch and Romeo alongside James and I started hanging out backstage, often joined by Michael Shane and Hunter, we would spend very much time together both entertaining and annoying people with our own brand of humor (Im not totally sure if Butch and Romeo actually took it serious lol) later Min Sing joined the group and became somekind of running joke, who never had a momments piece.

    A year or so later a veteran came back in the shape of Doomsday, I didnt know if I should run or pass out when I first met him, but he actually turned out to be an awesome person, Nik and I spend a lot of time working together off screen, he thought me how to be more than a generic big man in the ring, training with me develaoping new moves and facets of my ring work, but also taught me a lot about how to act in front of the camera in generel. when he wasnt in work mode, he was just one crazy sob who I loved hanging out withcause it was never boring.

    Many others have passed through my live like that, people like Goldberg, Scorpio, and in newer days Jeff, Assasin, Tatanka and many more, I keep learning from them and I hope some of them learn something from me, but the one I learned the most from and who never learned anything from me (despite my efforts to teach him) was the Boogeyman, this guy taught everything I needed to know on how not to act in this business.

    Well I better head off and grab a beer with the others before this turns into a dirtsheet rant on Marty.

• The Mists of Time

  • From: VWWE
  • Description:

    Authors Note: The following are some of the opening passages from what would have become "The Rise, Fall and Rise Again of Virtual WWE" a full and concise history of VWWE. They form the origins of E-Feds almost exactly eight years ago as best i understand them.

     

    ---

    As long as there has been sports, there has been fantasy, dream scenarios and matches. While the average man in the street dreams of the bright lights and glamor of his favorite sports teams, the big stadiums and moments, millions will fill online fantasy leagues of football, soccer, baseball... and professional wrestling.
    
    Originally played via mail, fantasy wrestling exploded upon the internet boom of the 1990s. Created companies, characters, real companies and characters, every possible scenario was created and played out on numerous Internet message boards and forums, hundreds of Electronic Federations or more popularly E-Feds, came and went. Wrestling fans finally had the chance to fulfill a little of their dreams.
    
    This is the tale of one such E-Fed and one community in particular, an E-Fed that some may call the Worldwide Leader in the genre, a company that has stood the test of time to last seven years and counting when most E-Feds last a matter of weeks, it is a name known and loved by many - Virtual World Wrestling Entertainment, better known maybe as VWWE.
    
    Over those seven years, VWWE seen hundreds of members pass through it's doors and leave in so many different circumstances, it's members have grown from boys to men, their lives have been shared with their colleages, babies have been born, marriages held and in one case, two members ending up in a relationship of their own.
    
    VWWE has provoked reactions from anger and fury to happiness and ecstasy, the tears have been numerous but so has the laughter. However if there's one emotion synonymous with VWWE.. it's passion. The passion that runs through WWE courses through the very foundations of their VWWE namesake, the love of wrestling kept these people together, kept the owners at the helm and helped the company survive and become the most successful E-Fed of all time.

     

    This is their story, the story of the elite few, the story of the reality and the fantasy... and the story of one very special company....

    2001: The World is Changed

     

    
    September 11, 2001, a date that will forever be remembered and never forgotten. On that American morning terrorists hijacked four aircraft, crashing them into New York's World Trade Center, the Pentagon in Washington DC and a Pennsylvania field. It was an incident that had a profound effect on the entire World including that of professional wrestling, one wrestling community on WAP enabled cellphones and an individual 3000 miles away watching events unfold in a college computer room.
    
    Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) was designed to be the first version of the internet on cellphones, debuting in 1999 with the popular Nokia 7250, the medium was considered an almost immediate failure, due largely to overhyping something later called "teletext on your phone". However, a small group of individuals seemed to embrace the concept and make the most of it, one such individual was Simon Parkhouse.
    
    Parkhouse, a wrestling enthusiast, created WapWWF in early 2001, the mediums first wrestling news site, styled very much in the vain of WrestleZone.com and Rajah, these were the sites from which most of WapWWF's news was cut and pasted. The site was simple, created easily on a sitebuilding site by the name of WapJag and later moved to a similar utility named Tagtag, it would never win site of the year but by being the only WWF's only site on WAP, the site quickly gained a large following and it's chatrooms were regularly overflowing. It was here that WAP's first wrestling community was born and from here that E-Fed's on WAP would soon spring.
    
    Over the summer, names such as both Jons (Rhyno and Silent Assassin), Dani, Jen, Sara, Graeme(Tommy Dreamer/Ryan Simmons), Mark (Dr.S), Fi (Rogue) and others all arrived along with notable future nuisences such as Mr Hogan and Mr Shaw. On September 11, these nuisances decided to insult the tragedy unfolding before the World, an event which offended the WapWWF Chat members enough to form an alliance, one of the first such alliances in the community - Team Bring It (TBI), a name taken from the WWF's current Invasion angle. The leader of TBI? a man who would become instrumental in the future of the community - Rhyno. Already the seeds of the coming months were being sown, Rhyno taking the leadership position he would follow through with the FWC E-Fed just a few months later. Meanwhile, the man who would become the nemesis of Rhyno for the majority of the next eight years, Mick, sat watching in horror the events unfolding on his TV. Just a few weeks later, Mick would pick up his cellphone and searching for WWF news, he'd stumble across WapWWF, never using the chatroom and only using the site he never became one of the WapWWF users or original E-Fed pioneers, the fateful moment Mick discovered Feds not coming for another two months at the dawn of the new year.
    
    Rhyno and Mick's time would have to wait for now however as before that would come another individual - Diddy. In November 2001, Diddy formed WAP's first ever E-Fed - WWW, World Wap Wrestling. Enlisting WapWWF members such as Dr.S, Kohl, Rhyno, Silent Assassin and Banshee, WWW used a system that is unique to WAP E-Feds - a guessing system, it is the one, with slight modification, still in use today in VWWE.
    
    WWW was a success, although a shockingly poor standard by todays comparison, the first company of it's kind drew plaudits from it's members.. and for the first time, a second chatroom sprung up. However, one individual had machinations in mind and Rhyno soon formed his own breakaway E-Fed under the same rules.... FWC or Fantasy Wrestling Championship.
    
    FWC almost immediately had the advantage, Rhyno was a better writer, his position in WapWWF and TBI allowed him to recruit many more people and soon WWW stars such as Coops and Silent Assassin began to defect, FWC had become the number one E-Fed on WAP with ease.
    
    All the stones were in place, but destiny had one more hand to play and in early 2002, while surfing WapWWF Mick stumbled across a link to a site called Wrestlenation left in one of WapWWFs guestbooks, the site was a fan site for wrestling made by Mark aka Dr.S.... with a section all about something called E-Feds, WWW and FWC. Intrigued as to what an E-Fed actually was, Mick clicked on the link to WWW..... and so was born a dynasty and an icon.

• Locked Out

  • From: Assassin
  • Description:

    Well here I am once more, sitting on the laptop typing up a blog. I can't say I'm very comfortable at the moment as I'm sitting outside waiting for someone to open the doors so I can get into the arena we are meant to be wrestling in. So now I'm stuck outside on a hard bench, which really isn't helping my back. See what we do for you WWE Universe? Anyway I decided to log on to the computer to keep myself occupied whilst I wait for the door to be unlocked and I saw that you fans have been treated to quite a few blogs lately. So I decided not to feel left out and to do a blog of my own to tell the WWE Universe about what has been going on lately in the WWE.

    At the moment I'm alone and sometimes this is how I like it...I can see Jeff Hardy every now and then looking quite serious so I presume he is doing something important but beside that it is just me at the moment. I have to say the anticipation has been gradually building for Wrestlemania and were are now only 12 days away from what should be one of the greatest Wrestling moments ever. I certainly can't wait and I'm getting butterflies just thinking about it and I've spoken to several other guys and they seem like they feel exactly the same. Yesterday I had the opportunity to catch up with a recent signee, Jason Cooper who finally has broken into the WWE after spending alot of time in the Indies. I know it has been said earlier by Jeff in his blog but this guy is going to be a star and he has all the credentials to become one. The other day I got to see him cut a quick promo whilst doing a house show and he was fantastic on the mic for a new guy (far better than me I must add, after looking at some tapes of my earlier stuff). He is also a good guy to talk to outside the ring and yesterday we got talking about video games (What? WWE Superstars can't play video games?) and eventually it led to the new Smackdown vs Raw Video Game which brings me to the next thing I would like to talk about.

    Just this last Saturday a bunch of us WWE Superstars, myself, Cooper, Jeff and Chavo to name a few, got to go to a big press conference thing about the new Smackdown vs Raw video game. First we got a run down by some dude, Corey I think his name was...wasn't paying much attention to tell the truth and after that we got the opportunity to roam around, get interviewed by some internet nerds (they said they were from Gamingfling...or was it Gamingring? Again I can't remember) and the main reason I went and I presume the others, to play the game. Jeff and I got to have the first go and when we first got on to the game it lead you to some sort of tutorial screen which we skipped right past. After that the main menu appeared and whilst some things were blacked out, there was still a fair amount of things we could chose from. Jeff persisted that we have a look at the new Create a Diving Finisher first (Typical) but I managed to convince him to play a First Blood Match first. I chose to be myself in the game and so did he and then we were into it.

    At first glance I could've sworn it was real life the graphics are that good and everything was so detailed, like my tattoo's and scar and Jeff's face paint and arm bands. It then got me thinking about the time that we had to go into THQ and get scanned and speak lines and even grunts into a microphone a few months back. I suppose that payed off as everything looks great. We then got into the actual match and whilst Jeff was trying his hardest to beat me I was more testing out the new things you can do in the game like moves on the apron and leapfrogging an opponent. The one new thing that I didn't like however was the new momentum halo instead of a HUD which got a bit annoying at times. At the end of the match I made Jeff bleed after two Assassinations (which look great!) and a chair shot to the head.

    We then took a quick look at two of the new Create modes - Create a Diving Finisher where we ended up creating a move that consisted of several flips and then the Story Mode Designer. The Story Mode Designer was very in depth and you could do a tonne of cool cutscenes (there was even a Michael Jackson based cutscene, maybe based off the time Cena and Shane entered to his music on Raw) as well as making matches and who will win and lose them. Our time was stopped short however as Chavo and MVP kicked us off claiming we had been on it for too long.

    Overall it was good fun seeing the new game and seeing myself in Video Game form and I will certainly be buying it when it gets released! I even tried enquiring whether I could get it early but that idea was turned down fairly quickly. Anyway I think someone just arrived with a key so I better be off or I'll be in trouble. I'll hopefully get to speak to you in another blog soon but I'm making no promises as Wrestlemania week I'm sure will be very hectic!

    Until then, farewell and I urge you to buy the new Smackdown vs Raw 2010 Video Game (Yes I was told by THQ to plug it lol).

    Yours truly, Assassin.

• The road I walk

  • From: Primal
  • Description:

    The road stretches ahead of us as we travel towards Wrestlemania.

     

    Im sitting in a car with Hardy and some others.... read his blog he has told everything about my current company and whereabouts, so I dont want to waste time on that.

    It feels strange once again moving closer to Mania and taking another step down the path, that we as wrestlers have choosen. Everyone is looking forward to this, but still there is the fear of the day after, when its all over and the road again branches out filling our world with options, choices and challenges that we will have to conquer to get on our way to the next Wrestlemania.

    I know I shouldnt think of the future, but live in the moment, but in my world Wrestlemania is the defining moment of my career, its where I prove, why I deserve to be in the spot where I am and why I should be in WWE all together. Now this may sound like I dont do anything else during the year, but its actually the direct opposit. The time between Mania's is what I defiened as the road to Wrestlemania, its in this time you earn yourself the privelidge to wretle at Mania, its in this time you prepare to go that extra mile when you enter the ring at Mania.

    I remember descriping the road to Mania in my first Wrestlemania promo, it was back in 2006 and I was new crowned European Champion, management giving both me and my opponent (Roberto Rossi) a big chance here, as we both only had been in WWE for a few months, but had already started a heated feud. back to the promo I remember it being a video package, where I was walking down a dusty road, talking about, the blood sweat and tears I shed to be there, mentioning the people who helped me to get there as my then manager A.A Estrada joined me and in the end standing in front of the crossroad that is Wrestlemania, depending on what happens there you will choose what way to go, You can choose to go back to where you came from, stay where you are, take the high or low road, all this is how I experience Wrestlemania and is how I look at my road to Wrestlemania or rather to being a wrestler in the WWE.

    Well Sergio is starting to yell out for a pit stop thanks to Jeff's healthy taco thingy, so I might as well head off and get some beers for the rest of the ride

     

    see ya around

• Cooper creates....another blog

  • From: Jason_Cooper
  • Description:

    WRESTLEFREAKINMANIA BABY! WOO!

    Holy shit! It's 13 days from the biggest show of the year, the granddaddy etc etc i'm sure you've heard those sayings so many times already so i won't bore you with them here. I'm not here for long, Assassin has just returned my laptop after a lenghthy period, checked my history to make sure he wasn't watching some messed up porn like Sergio claims he has on now and again, it wasn't thankfully, it was some dutch pop group called aqua (man they suck).

     

    Anyway back to the important bit, Wrestlemania! I have to be honest with you, the nerves are starting to creep in, i see guys backstage, like Ric Flair, Michael Shane (ass),  Suffering and Jeff hardy and they've got these huge matches on the card, i think to myself, i'm on the pre-show card and i'm almost crapping myself, imagine how they must be feeling! For them this is another step on the ladder to the top, to legendary status, for me this is the beginning, i want to look back a year from now, be on that main card, be an established WWE superstar and say, i started somewhere, i started at the greatest show ever seen, this is the beginning of a new era for me and the WWE.

     

    We're at a house show in Texas as i type, i'm just about to have a match with Jack Swagger, i took a look out earlier as they were letting the crowd in, this place is jam packed! It's going to be one hell of a night! Mr Swagger is about to get his ass handed to him.

     

    I'll no doubt do another one of these before Wrestlemania, i shall leave you with this image that i saw as i arrived this evening.

     

    Jeff Hardy teaching Michael Shane how to put Make up on.

     

    Peace.

• One Year Down

  • From: Assassin
  • Description:

    Well, here I am. Sitting in the lockeroom here in Texas, preparing for Wrestlemania 25...exactly a year after I joined the WWE. We are currently doing a house show here in San Antonio which is scheduled to begin in less than twenty hours. Lately everything has been very frantic getting ready for the big one - Wrestlemania 25 and as I look back a year ago I wouldn't know how I would cope. But I have grown over the past year...immensely. My first match, in a 6 man tag team match, teaming with AKM and Kofi against Sphere, Showtime and Psycho Joe was a real big test, I was worried I would blow it all by botching a move or forgeting what I was meant to do but after hitting that first punch on Sphere...I never turned back.

    I've worked with many different wrestlers over the past year, some good, some bad and some who taught me a whole lot. I've seen many wrestlers come and go, TNA rise...TNA fall and I've also made some great friendships along the way. It has been tough at times but through help and the will to keep keeping on...I have gotten through them. 

    There have been a lot of defining moments in the short career of mine so far...from when I teamed with Ric Flair at Survivor Series and being the last man standing for our team to working with Roddy Piper at Cyber Sunday but none, in my opinion, have been as defining as this years Royal Rumble. Going in to the event I had lost three straight to William Regal and a couple more at house shows. At the time I was working as a face and I hadn't really been getting over with the crowd much. After the win against Regal I felt over the moon. I thought I did well and the final Punt at the end I believe to be the turning point in my career. Later in the night I stood alongside my new mentor, Randy Orton in the newly formed Legacy.

    Since that moment I have felt like I have developed well as a superstar and I hope that I continue to do so at Wrestlemania and then after it. Speaking of Wrestlemania, it is only a short period of time away and I can't believe I am going to be performing on the Grandest Stage of All against Mick Foley. I am a tiny bit dissapointed that it has been fairly quiet lately backstage and there hasn't been a real "buzz" like at the Royal Rumble but I'm sure that will come over time and until then I have to keep preparing and to make sure everything that I am involved with at Wrestlemania goes according to plan.

    Well I think it is about time that I end my blog as I have a few things I have to attend to and prepare for the upcoming house show. So one year down and hopefully many more to come, many more moments to remember and more friendships to be made...I'll see y'all at Wrestlemania.

    Have a nice day :D

• Tatanka's Return is Imminent!

  • From: Tatanka
  • Description:

    Hau kola everyone. It has been many seasons now since I was last in the WWE and I have missed my Little Braves dearly. A day doesn't go by that I do not think of the support you have all shown me throughout my long and storied career. I thank the Great Spirit every single day for great fans like I have.

    I have been preparing for my return to WWE intensely. Every morning I enter the sweat lodge built by my grandfathers and sit and meditate as the sacred smokes fill the air and I commune with the spirits to ask them for their strength and guidance so I can be fully prepared for battle in the confines of the squared circle of WWE.I am quite blessed that Bear has given me his strength, Wolf his cunning, Deer his speed and Fox his intelligence. With my sacred animal brothers' help, I will ascend to the top of WWE.

     

    After my time in the sweat lodge,  I head to the gym and do whatever portion of my workout regime is scheduled for that particular day. I am usually at the gym for three to four hours before I head out to spar in the ring at my personal gym on the ranch. I spenmd many hours there, honing my skills and practicing new holds and moves. One of the problems with being a grizzled veteran like I am is that everyone else has seen hours and hours of your matches and have a pretty good inkling as to what you'll do. I need to keep my head in the game to keep trying to work new things into my move set. I have some things I believe will surprise everyone.

     

    In the evening, I spend time with my wife and children until they go to sleep. Once the family is slumbering, I spend many hours studying tapes of the current crop of WWE stars, analyzing them so when I come to face any one of them, I will have a plan of battle already formulated and ready to execute.

     

    My debut comes in but a few short weeks, at the biggest stage of them all...WrestleMania 25. Grated, it is a pre-show match but that is fine. I wil still be at Mania. That's all that truly matters, isn't it?

     

    Ki-ka-wah-pah-min mino, my friends. I will see you all at the arenas following WrestleMania.

     

    YIYIYIYI YI YI YI!

• THEE BLOG

  • From: THEE_RYAN_SIMMONS
  • Description:

    Here i am sitting at the arena in Amarillo with a glass of Semi-Skimmed milk watching the goings on around me,i see suffering in one corner his head stuck in a laptop and a big angry dane in the other shouting in danish at his laptop, i havent posted a blog in ages but since my life has changed in recent weeks ill update yall , i was recently diagnosed as diabetic, i havd been feeling extremely tired after matches and training and majority of the time i was sleeping whilst going between events, it was put down to `burn out` but im thankfull ive ben diagnosed tbh ive felt a lot better than ive ever been even though ive had to cut a lot of my favourite things out of my life.

    Anyhoo onto other things, my feud with Morten Hansen has been going well ,plenty of sick bumps for me and morten and more surprisingly for kelly who is very resillient for a girl of her stature. talking of Morten i can see him across the room screaming in danish at his laptop again which appears to have died on him lol

    after Wrestlemania im hoping to head in a new direction with my on screen persona, during my feud i feel ive been helped along by the big dane because i havent been totally in the game due to my illnes. i wont say too much at the moment untill things are finalised and ill sign off here as i have a big dane breathing down my neck eyeing up my laptop.

     

    untill then

• The Road Stretches On

  • From: JeffHardy
  • Description:

    Hey all, been a while since I updated my great fans on the Universe, too long in fact. Vince recently approached me and asked me to upload some more blogs and keep you guys up to date with the goings on at the shows, on the road and the like as we travel down this figurative and litteral road to Wrestlemania 25. 

    Currently I'm typing this blog post up in the back of a rental car next to Michael Shane, Simmons up front and the lovable Morten Hansen up front. At my behest we're currently blasting out Springsteen's Working On A Dream, my new obsession.

    Things have been relatively quiet backstage, Saturday Night's Main Event went off without a hitch though. From start to end it felt like a Wrestlemania go-home show, both in the ring and in the back. My own angle finally reached boiling point and seemed to go down really well with the crowd, they're really split down the middle. Since my return from suspension everyone has welcomed me back into the fold, there's still some tension between Mickie and I despite my best efforts but hey....I ain't the only one on that front. Flair wasn't as welcoming as the rest of the roster though. 

    He's not come right out and told me but I know he's disappointed with me, the looks he's giving me tell me more than words ever could. I can't say I blame him, he agreed to work an angle with me, him a sixteen time World Heavyweight Champion....me, the scrawny kid from Cameron and I screwed up again, affecting him as much as I have affected myself. I can dig that, I don't make any excuses for the way I live my life and I'm not ashamed to hit a few bumps on the road but I heard he wanted to cut a shoot promo on me at SNME.....something he went straight to Vince with, didn't even think to talk to me about first. Ain't that a great way to get me over. I respect Ric Flair as much as if not more than the next guy, he's bigger than the Beatles in my hometown but this rivalry extends past what you see in the ring. 

    I think our segment went really well though, when we're in the ring together cutting a promo we just seem to gel, the intensity, the animosity,  the emotions that we run through in the space of ten minutes surpass anything I think I've done with anyone else. The one thing that seemed to add everything over the last few months was definitely the finish. For the first time in over a year the WWE allowed me to perform a highspot. This was hardly the most highrisk or innovative highspot I've ever done but it got over HUGE with the crowd and the thrill of standing atop the turnbuckle, leapfrogging over a fifteen foot ladder, hearing the collective gasp from the capacity crowd as I soar only to explode and leap to their feet when I come crashing to the canvas......nothing....NOTHING over the past twelve months has made me feel as alive as that single moment......though my ass is STILL hurting. (Make all the jokes you want, boys.) 

    The backstage atmosphere is much the sameas it's ever been really, Shane and I have kissed and made up (keep that image in mind, folks) and our backstage antics are once again reaching you from headlines of the local dirstsheets. These headlines couldn't be further from the truth. We're all actually getting along for once! 

    The only person that seems to be being ribbed these days is the little Assassin....for obvious reasons of course. I won't reveal his newest nick nam-....who am I kidding, the twink can't do anything.  

    I've kept myself rather composed backstage, hanging out with the likes of Mort and the new tag on the scene in The Hart Dynasty, two really cool guys who I've had the pleasure of getting to know better over the last couple of weeks, they have such an intense passion and respect for this business, it's so refreshing to have these two laid back guys in the locker, they have a calming effect on myself and others no doubt. 

    Currently I'm tossing some jokes Simmon's way, lighthearted stuff about his (lackluster) career.....but I'm glad by the look on his face that he's in the front and I've got a large Dane barking at him to sit still!

    We're about to pull in and grab some bagels (at Shane's request and to Mort's chagrin) so I'd better post this now.

    Look for another blog from me each day in the run up to 'Mania!

    Original Printed: May 25, 2007

     

    Efeds. A word that has many meanings and brings up different feelings in all who come across them. To the outsiders, the people who aren’t fans of Efeds or wrestling in general it can be a boring, stupid, some even say a childish game, many slate the people who are members but most of them stay clear fearing it will lower their reputation as a hip/funky whatever they see themselves as person if they are in any way connected to them. To the people who are members or enjoy reading the great shows put on by many a great writer it can be many different things, all good but different, a place to get away from the stresses of everyday life, relax and chill out in the company of other like minded people all over the world, to the most imaginative person it can be a time to go into a fantasy world where they base their character or characters on themselves and get to live out the dream they have in their imagination, to others it can be a time to enjoy a good read whether it be a column or regular show put on by the many dedicated writers we have these days or just have a laugh in the chat rooms we have. Whatever the reason you like them, love them, dislike them or despise them, they are there and will be for the foreseeable future, online and on mobile wap.
    
    Writers. If you don’t have one of these there is no point in an efed, they write the shows, they tell the stories and in most cases own the efed. I’ve had the privilege to know many writers in my time, some great, some bad, some can’t be beaten and I have also had the privilege to write myself. A huge amount of imagination is a must for an efed writer and a great knowledge of wrestling moves and in most cases the actual wrestlers themselves in the cases of Efeds who base themselves on current wrestling corporations I.e. WWE and TNA, all of these are a must. A writer has to paint a picture, has to make you feel like your there, make you imagine it in your head, make you feel the emotion that so many people get when watching real wrestling i.e. angry or happy. It’s not an easy task to accomplish, many people criticise writers these days claiming it’s the easiest thing to do in the world but I can tell you from experience and I’m sure many of the other writers I know will tell you it is extremely difficult, to capture the emotion to get across the effort and power and strength and will of the characters we write about. I’ve seen so many Efeds come and go, somebody thinks they can do it and starts one up and when they have to meet deadlines and keep the consistency up it gets too much and the fed closes within weeks. Some web based feds I have visited over the past few weeks don’t actually write shows, in the feds that I have been in and seen, the writer/s have written each match whether it’s been good or not is nothing but these web based feds don’t write the matches they just post results, for example: Joe Bloggs beat Steve Davis via pin, and basically that’s all you get, they seem to put so much effort into the site as in how it looks and how it is presented that they either don’t have time or plain can’t be bothered to write even a semi decent show and I sat there and saw all these people ranting and raving about these web based feds saying they were the best, no one could beat them, I looked at the actual sites and thought what a load of bolloks quite frankly. I clicked on my address bar and I saw the address for WVW which is on mywap, basically a small wap and web site you can use supplied by O2, it’s very basic but also very popular with small Efeds and I thought I’d rather join this fed than most of the web based sites, at least they put in the effort when it comes to shows etc, Andy and Fi two good friends of mine do a great job there. It used to be and in many cases still is that people partially judged your writing on how long a match actually was but I think we’re at the stage now were it’s not the length it’s the quality (drums) A thank yow! In my humble opinion that is. On average I think a decent length for a normal show match is about 4 pages of Microsoft word, it all depends on the writer really. I end this paragraph by taking off my hat to the writers I know and the good writers I don’t. I think I speak for many when I say thank you to all of them (They know who they are) for the time they take and the effort they put in to giving us all a great show to read. Thank you guys.
    
    Characters. Another of the main components in an efed, if you don’t have these then you don’t have a show simply because there’s no one to write about. In my almost five years in Efeds I’ve seen a mixed bag of characters, ranging from the lowest of the low, people like Osama bin laden, Ben Dover and Phil McCraken, to the legendary characters, Nightmare, Doomsday and his famous hockey mask, and the awesome characters from the past two years, people like Ryan Simmons, Primal, James Steele, Michael Shane, Nathan James etc. The first three names I mentioned are a plain insult to Efeds in general and thankfully these idiots were in the “Conference league” Efeds if you will so no one really heard of them. Whether your making your own character or using one of the current superstars of WWE or TNA, it can be the easiest or most difficult thing to do. I’m sure I speak for quite a few people here when I say, you expect the world when you first start in Efeds, you have this idea in your head and you think it’s awesome, it’s so good no one can beat it and you think you’ll be heavyweight champ of a fed within weeks, as I’m sure every young start has found out up until now, it doesn’t work like that and that’s what causes so many arguments and problems in Efeds, these new starts don’t get their own way, the dummy has been thrown and the arms are wailing all over the place. In a way a fed is a like a social ladder, if you’re a champ in a fed you feel in some ways like a somebody, it feels like an achievement even if it is the luck of a guess so you always hope your gonna be next when you first start, always looking for your spot and when it doesn’t these guys can be quite disheartened. I think to create a great character knowledge is once again a must, you need to know the basics of how to cut a promo, when I first started out my promo’s were probably about four lines long and consisted of me saying I’m gonna kick someone’s ass and that was it, but as you gain more experience in Efeds the promo’s get longer and more detailed, I.e. the background, the mood, the tone of voice used, description of the characters etc. You also need to build a persona for your character, I think whether some people like to admit it or not there is a bit of reality in our characters, for instance there could be the cockiness of Edge mixed with the confidence of HBK mixed with the defiance of John Cena and so on but it all makes for some great characters but unfortunately It can make for some rubbish ones too. A couple of my personal favourites are Primal, a great character by a great bloke, Morten’s promos are awesome, there are many destructive monsters in Efeds but I think Primal takes it to a new level and not all of them are Danish lol. Another is Ryan Simmons, I personally don’t know Graeme that well but I can see by his promos and feuds that he very detailed with Simmons, most people as I said before go for the dominant monster type in their characters but Graeme has went for something totally different with Simmons, I see him as the CM punk character of Efeds, not the typical moves nor typical character which is actually quite refreshing. All in all you need to really work at your character whether that be a Nathan James or a Randy Orton, have a bit of patience give across your idea’s and hope that the fed owner is decent enough to give them a go or put you into an enjoyable feud but I will say this, sure you may have your idea’s and in your head they may be great but it might just be in your head, I’m Sure the person who had the cheek to be Osama bin laden had a vision of one day becoming a heavyweight champion and I’m sure he thought it was an amazing idea.
    
    My opinions on here some people may agree with some people will not that’s life as they say. In my opinion Efeds are great and whoever started this craze I’d like to shake their hand, it is to me a time to get away from the stress of real life troubles and a time to relax and let my imagination run away for a bit, a time to have a laugh and enjoy some awesome writing by some talented people. Efeds in general will be around forever I think, it is a craze that will spread even more than it already has but in a way it is still an unknown to many, we must spread the word and expand them. To those who have been here since WWW, things have changed, to those who have just started, things are going to change. In my time here there have been casualties of bitter wars, Wars of word and sabotage, we’ve seen traitors, fed jumpers, the humiliation of people who have deserved it, the coming and going of some awesome and some not so awesome Efeds, the coming together of several and the demise of many. It’s been a roller coaster ride from day one and I guarantee if I live to be 100 and Efeds are still about then so shall i.
    
    If you’ve read this far, I appreciate it thanks.

    2007 has been a wonderful year so far in E-feds, it only seems like yesterday it was January but here we are in June 07 already and we've seen a few people step up their game in the past six months, whether it be in promoting their characters, writing skills or their guessing frequency has been consistent, hell even I make sure I guess for all my matches these days, there’s so many new people coming in especially in the last few days that I get the feeling everyone is upping their game for fear of losing their spot in the ranks and do you know what? That’s a good thing for E-feds, your sure to find that Mick, Nik, Scott are receiving more guesses and more better quality promo’s. It’s the same in life really, if you work hard at something to get somewhere with it only to have someone who hasn't put as much effort in as you to take it away it’s pretty upsetting.
    
    Many people in 2006 had their big breaks in E-feds but the people I'm about to talk about now I think have put that little bit extra into their characters whether it be real or created in 2007 so far and if they stick at it I can see them ending 2007 as some of the best E-feders we have ever seen and I guarantee you their characters position in their respective fed will prove that. I'd like to kick off with Forxx aka Scott, ECW writer and former owner of the awesome XFW. Now to me Forxx has always been a great creation by Scott, he’s easy to mould, you can fit the big man into any sort of gimmick you like and if the writer knows what he’s doing it'll work, he also a guy you can have at any level of the card and any type of angle, he’s a character I feel you can pull into main event status at anytime in any fed because he’s been around for many years and accomplished so much title wise and big storyline wise, he took a big step up this year and done what has eluded him for so long, he won the WWE championship against Randy Orton on Raw a few months back which by the way he held at the same time with the Intercontinental belt, I really enjoyed the ECW storyline he was involved with Team Forxx Versus Team Heyman and his feud with Neal’s character Randy Orton over the title was superb well played by both guys and well written by Mick and Nik. He also did great on Turmoil in WVW winning the Extreme title a few months back also he held this for about two months in which he defeated many roster members such as Ethan Morris and Blade. These title wins where all roughly around the same time and you can be guaranteed Scott was grinning from ear to ear and to be honest it was well deserved, I'm sure everyone will agree with me on this one Scott is a great E-feder and a decent bloke also. I've noticed a change in his style of writing also this year so far, his matches have got shorter for some reason we all have time restraints on writing etc and as much as his writing is still good I hope he can pick it back up that little bit to the way he was in XFW.
    We also saw a welcome return to Nik in 2006 and he is another guy who has stepped up his game since returning, His Legendary character Doomsday has been shown in some great angles and matches in 2007, with a great showing in the Royal rumble and at No way out, a personal favourite of mine was the destruction of Sabu by the masked maniac and his partner the Undertaker to win the tag team titles on SmackDown a few months back, once again like Forxx he can be used anywhere on the card because of his status in E-feds, although not winning as much gold as Forxx he was in some legendary storylines before he took a long rest from E-feds if you will, Since his return he has physically killed Johnny Blue, almost destroyed RVD and Sabu and whooped the ass of the Union and we all remember what he did to ole HBK when he returned I can see this being the year of Doomsday for some reason I just have a feeling and it'll be great if it is. Meanwhile Nik continues with the awesome SmackDown, writing some amazing matches, I have to say since he left and returned he hasn't lost his creativeness, some great angles and storylines from both him and Mick, in my opinion his writing is second to one and I guarantee you if Nik would have stayed in feds since his debut he would be on par with Mick right now, the guy can churn out some awesome matches in a very exciting descriptive manner and their not exactly short lets just say that. All in all a top bloke, a legendary stoner and one of the most funniest guys in chat.
    
    Over the pond as they say in WVW I believe there has been many great characters coming through the ranks since the beginning of the year but none other than Fi’s Character the awesome Viper, I remember first reading about Viper in one of his promo’s in IVW, he was part of a tag team with Phil’s character Grant Morgan and all due respect to Phil but viper always stood out for me in promo’s etc and I remember writing his matches in SFW and it was just after they had split as a team and I thought to myself that is what Fi needs with Viper, a break away from Morgan and a heel turn and boy when she got the ball did she run with it in 2006 and she spent most of the year in one of the best written and played feuds I have ever seen with Mike’s awesome character, Christopher Draven! This all culminated in 2007 gaining Viper a title shot which he won and it was great to see and it shows that you don't gain gold and the top spot in any feds respectfully in a few weeks it takes years and I was happy for Fi and I'm sure she felt the same, that’s what I love about E-feds, it is like a long road and you feel as though you have to over come obstacles that stand in your way to get to that top spot and when you do it is an awesome feeling believe me I've been there and a lo of other people have too. Fi also has been one of the breakout writers for me this year also with some awesome matches for Turmoil and pay per views, very descriptive and I have found myself engrossed in some of the matches she has written, I think she has definitely cemented herself as one of the top writers in E-feds and I can't wait to see what she does with WVW when she takes over. She may have had her problems with many people in her time in E-feds but Fi has always been consistent in her guessing, her promo’s have always been to a decent if not better standard and her attitude in chat is very polite and in WVW this will be her year whether it be writing the shows or playing the game.
    
    A few other people who I shall mention writing wise who are gonna be great, Morten I've read a few of his matches and I liked what I saw so far, Nathan, awesome writer and a great player of the game and genuinely funny guy in the locker an also Matt aka Nathan James has got great potential.
    
    In E-feds this week, nothing really much has happened, VWWE has had a spate of new signings on behalf of myself and I'm sure everyone else, welcome peeps hope you enjoy it and please be patient lol, Nik returned from a few weeks off, it’s good to see you back dude, Mort stopped singing in the locker but my ears are still buzzing, Fi wanted to interrogate Mort’s witness in her box, make of that what you will, WVW had an awesome Turmoil after the Mayhem PPV there’s some great angles coming up there soon and there’s a heavy build up to WrestleMania with many shows before and after being planned by Mick and co, should be awesome as always.
    
    I'll continue the E-feds column next week, as I've said before these are my opinions many of you will agree many will not but to all who have read down this far thank you very much, it’s appreciated. Stu.

• Tale of a Dane

  • From: Primal
  • Description:

    well as most of you know the company has been in some trouble lately, luckily it seems like they are all in the past and we are all looking forward to move on.

    All of whats been going on has lead me to look at my past. Ive been wrestling almost allover the world, not many will know my accomplishment from back then, they were few and I wrestled under a mask as Beast. but it wasnt those years I looked back on, I looked back to 2006, when Primal was born, so this is his and my story.

     

    I had left Japan for the U.S in late 2005 and had done a couple of indy shows as Beast, but the character didnt really click with the fans. So I started to look around at some of the other wrestlers who were still "new" on the scene. 

    Some of the first guys that caught my eye were James Steele and Ryan Simmons, which I knew by reputation from Europe and Japan, also some veterans like Rock Solid, Scorpio, Nathan James and Nightmare, who were the big names in their respective promotions. Slowly I started to take, what I thought, made these guys successfull and mold it in with my own character and personality. and in January of 2006, the savage and powerfull Dane named Primal was finally born. 

    First stop was a new promotion BPW run by Canadian wrestler Ray Damian, sadly the place folded after only one show and I was out to look for a job again. Luckily I stumbled upon Scott Neaman and XFW, where I was signed, but not before nearly insulting Neaman while drunk lol.

    Aday or so after I joined I was invited to a WWE houseshow by Neaman and some others from XFW. After the show Scott introduced me to Vince, who asked if I was interested in tryout in WWE. 

    So there I was going from having nothing to having a spot on both XFW and eventually WWE. Sadly XFW went out of business before I even got really started, but not before I debuted.

    My WWE career started out in an odd way, I started out working a few dark matches, but caught the eye of someone and was soon set up to take part in the European championchip tournament. Meanwhile I was spawning plans with The Boogeyman to join up as a tag team, luckily Vince didnt like the idea and he instead put me in as A.A Estrada's client.

    This move I would say made wonders for me as I still needed to learn alot about how things were done here and Estrada really knew how to get me over, the fact that I actually debuted into a feud with fellow debutant Kill Crazy also helped me a lot, although our styles were very different we did get a spark out of it.

    I eventually won the tourny and got the European title, in what I still think is one of my best matches today against James Steele, this match really means a lot to me as it really put me into the spotlight, not only because I won the title, but because Steele took me to a whole new level.

    The title win would bring me through feuds with Kill Crazy and Rey Mysterio, which really helped me establish myself as a stabil character in the ring.

    In the mean time I was also wrestling in a few indies, but never really made anything happen, mostly because they closed shortly after I arrived there.

    Then one day Ray Damian called me up asking me to join him and Michael Steven Northmore in WVW where they were starting up a stable. However when I arrived in WVW it turned out that management hated the idea and instead I started feuding with Northmore, with little success.

    Meanwhile in WWE I was on a roll winning both feuds and matches untill the fatal day, when I eliminated Undertaker from the Royal Rumble, which resulted in a chokeslam of the stage and him kicking my ass lol.

    Around the same time I joined the SFW again with minor success, but before the company closed its doors, mangement pushed the idea of Joker, an indy veteran and me joining forces.

    Joker wasnt interested in joining WWE, so we agreed on doing it in WVW and so the wild and crazy story of Disturbed started. at first we couldnt agree on anything, but soon we got it to work, we portrayed the character of two psychotic freaks who wanted nothing more than be accepted and loved. In ring it was all hard hitting blows and no nonsens, but out side the ring we made a lot of funny , wacked and sick segments that would make Russo drool.

    Eventually WVW folded and we split up, a few years later we would try to do the same in WWE, but the magic wasnt there.

    Back in WWE I had been feuding with first Umaga and then Tribal (Zell) and Carlito, Estrada had moved out of the picture and I was moving towards the Intercontinental title and a feud with Michael Shane, which once again was a great oppotunity for me to step up the ladder as Shane like Steele had done earlier pushed me to the limit. I eventually won the title and at the same time got involved with the New Generation storyline, where Michael Shane and I would be the first two members. It was a great time with lots of fun things to do and a lot of things to learn, it gave me a chance to do things that I wouldnt normally be considered the right character for, fx the Al Gore fight.

    At the same time I got to feud with Big Show which was great as it gave my character new opening with its dominance in jepordy.

    Shortly after that I slowly faded out of the New Generation as one of its major characters and started to feud with Jeff Hardy, this is most certainly the most intense experiences in my carreer, the matches we had were a notch higher than anything else I ever did and we blended in so well together in the out of ring work it was almost scary.

    When the Hardy feud ended I got to tag with Ryan Simmons for a while which has now lead us into a feud, and its great to work with him , Im learning something new for everytime I face him and I think that at Wrestlemania we will blow the roof off.

    to be continued..... some day lol

• VWWE - Beginnings

  • From: VWWE
  • Description:

    At the start of the year i began to think of what we should do for the fifth anniversary of VWWE, what sort of special features should we put out. This anniversary for me is very special, five years of anything is impressive, in the short lived World of E-Feds, stunning. E-Feds normally only have a shelf life of around three months and for one to last five years is made all the more impressive considering we were originally a WAP Fed with very limited resources and people. So i got looking through the old WWE 10th anniversary special Magazine and came across an interview with Vince McMahon where he discussed the beginning of WWE Raw and its lasting appeal, the people he's worked with, the problems he's encountered. So being the eternal plagiarist.... i stole the idea...
    
    VWWEs beginning starts at the turn of the Millennium, back when the World was a very different place than it is today. Id have been about 19 at the time and the events of September the Eleventh were still clear in everybodys mind, the looming war in Afghanistan was hanging over the World and even worse, there was rumors Hulk Hogan was about to return to WWE, dark times indeed. My first exposure to the wrestling community on WAP, like many, was through WAPWWE owned by Simon and later Big "Fat" Dave. Id been a user of the chatrooms at a community called Jumbuck and later o2 chat for a few months for about a year previous to that and knew one of the Semi-regulars toward the end from there. I didn't chat at all however in the famous chat, just used it for the results and news. While browsing one day, i came across the link to something called "WrestleManiac" owned by a certain Dr.SmackDown!. It was a little site about something called E-Feds.... Naturally enough i was intrigued, im the sort of person who simply has to have an answer to a question. So i clicked on the first link on the site, "WWW".
    
    I arrived in WWW Chat in early January of 2002 and frankly found utter chaos. The owner Diddy was leaving, i only ever exchanged a few words with him in the chat and i think after i arrived he was never seen again. Nice passing of the torch. The first three people i met in WWW however were Twisted Trucker, Physio and Banshee in that order, the latter of these would play an important role over the next three months. Physio seemed nice enough, he was a nurse in Newcastle if i remember correctly as seemed Banshee, i disliked TT from the word go however, a typically ignorant Scotsman of which Dads Army's Frazer embodies perfectly (no offense to our Scottish contingent intended lol). TT would eventually make himself the most hated man in the business at the height of the Monday Night Wars, and considering the competition that was no mean feat. My application to WWW was of course never answered as Diddy apparently went to America and left the company in the hands of Mark who at that time i feel wasn't ready to run an E-Fed, time wise or maturity wise. Becoming impatient (as always), i looked elsewhere. I'm certain theres more to the tale of the demise of WWW but with all the major players except Dr.S (Mark) having now left "the business", i doubt it'll ever be told.
    
    I soon came across an E-Fed by the name of EHW, owned by WAPWWEs rival WAPW-W-E and owned by Tazz and Extreme. WAPW-W-E was a poor alternative to the original WAPWWE, largely pasted from the net and very poorly laid out. Still, it got hits and im sure they were happy. As an inexperienced player, EHW looked brilliant, it had lots of features and sections for the time and was, compared to the awful WWW, well written. I was the first person to sign up to the original EHW and was rewarded by being in the main event of their first show against quickly and long forgotten J-Love who was a sort of male version of Jennifer Lopez (don't ask). I lost when Nightmare made a run in and attacked me with a chair, this would the very first time i was involved with Tony and in fact the first time I'd even heard of him and of course not the last. While EHW was busy building its roster however i was at a loose end and offered by services to the company in an advertising role which was accepted, i had my first backstage job. In honesty it was rather unsuccessful, i managed to get Dr.S to sign up after a few rounds of E-Mails but my moves to bring in Physio, Banshee and the others failed completely. A day before the broadcast of EHWs first show, a link was left in EHWs chat which led me to yet another E-Fed, the now infamous FWC, an offshoot of WWW.
    
    While WWW was the first E-Fed on WAP to make a splash (they were not the complete first, despite popular belief), FWC had now taken the Torch from them and was the big player. Rhyno and most of the FWC roster had all been members of WWW at one point and broken away and there seemed to be little love lost between FWCs Owner Jon Hunter (Rhyno) and Diddy. FWC was, like EHW, far better laid out and written than WWW, although under the surface were far more flaws that didnt become clear till much later.
    
    Mid-January is when everything changes (and Rhyno certainly wasn't ready). I decided to join FWC after talking with Banshee (Jo) and some of the FWC members briefly including two men who play a big part in the future of the community, Silent Assassin (also called Jon, which led to suspicions he was Rhyno for almost a year) and Doomsday (Nik). However, when i told Rhyno via mail i was also in EHW, i was told to choose between joining FWC or being in EHW, a fact that irritated me immediately and would always be amusing to me later on when Rhyno complained about VWWE asking the same of people who were also in his Fed. Nether the less, i chose FWC simply because it looked more fun and the people in their chat were more talkative and interesting. I think it was about January 14th when i debuted on FWCs Flagship Show Gore is War (named for the Owners signature finisher, of course).
    
    Two weeks later, me, aka HBK, was FWC Champion.
    
    This has always been one of the chief reasons i began to become dissatisfied with FWC, it was far too easy. Yes, i was good, its stupid for me to say otherwise considering what I've gone on to do, but nobody deserved the kind of push i received considering veterans such as Doomsday and Silent Assassin hadn't had any kind of headlining run or Title reign. I guess Rhyno saw the potential but for me, it began to show those problems i mentioned earlier - Rhyno couldn't book for shit. He had no concept of pushes, finishes, paying dues or the like and just seemed to book in a completely haphazard fashion, making no match feel important or special and making no title reign mean squat as the defenses were so frequent and often.
    
    I was outspoken in chat, which considering what many will remember of my behavior later in 2002, i guess is no surprise. This of course created tension with Rhyno and Silent Assassin, the former making the heat quite obvious while SA didn't reveal how he felt about the period till a year later during one of our famous arguments. Rhyno booked me in a completely pointless feud with TT, a man who couldnt draw flies in a shit factory. The heat got to the point where i was booked in a ladder match and somehow Rhyno had me lose via DQ, when i pointed out to him afterward that its impossible to lose via DQ in a ladder match, he booked me in a kiss my ass match against TT, which naturally enough i lost. Was i being pushed to the moon or buried? i had no idea and quite frankly, i don't think Rhyno did either. By now early February, with the looming threat of the coming nWo all over WWF Television, i decided to start a revolution of my own and the idea for the Virtual WWF E-Fed was born.
    
    Why Virtual WWF? simply i figured that its everybody in E-Feds dream to be a WWF star. People play SmackDown vs Raw, why not make the E-Fed equivalent in a simulation of the WWF? it was so simple i was surprised that nobody had attempted it on WAP yet and i began to note down what I'd need to do to get this thing off the ground. The first thing of course was the site and after enlisting the help of Nik (who didnt know what i was doing), i managed to get a very basic site working on the Hiugo host. The next three things however would prove to be far more trick - a roster, a partner and advertising.
    
    I began the build up to VWWF a week or so before the actual launch, first contacting Silent Assassin under the assumed alias of Vince McMahon (or "vince" as Sam would later have it). SA agreed to come aboard as a member of the first board/creative team, particularly after i showed him a promo match id written, he seemed genuinely impressed with my skills and eager for VWWF to get off the ground. SA very much liked to have a finger in every pie and hedge his bets with all parties, his actual reasons for coming aboard I've never really known or thought about too much. At the time all i knew was, SA was a major player in Feds, a man who'd been around a while, a leader, important to FWC and the kind of acquisition that would send a big time message to Rhyno. Next aboard was Banshee at Jon's suggestion if i remember, in honesty i dont recall what she actually did and i didnt trust her at all. Banshee and Jon were very close, the details of which im still not entirely clear on and on more than one occasion it seemed the two were conversing about VWWE and making their own agendas. This however was a very small issue and i was happy with the way of things at this point in time.
    
    I knew the roster would come from the advertising and also that there was no way VWWE could survive on the scraps from FWC, we had to bring in new people to VWWE from outside Feds and i opened negotiations with the WAPWWE Owner about adding a link. On February 15th, VWWE was launched throughout the WAP Wrestling community, firstly in FWC and then everywhere else. The initial reaction was slow with only a handful signing up, the first being Stevie Dragon (a Welshman, for the record) and Rhyno was openly hostile in that "i don't mind really" way of his. A day into the VWWF Era, we merged with Tony's fledgling BWWF Fed as i saw no point in us competing against each other and Tony was added to the Creative Team. Yet another day later, everything changed finally as WAPWWE gave us far more than we asked for - a full front page link. With this being at the height of both WAPWWE and WAPs powers, VWWE was flooded with application after application for the next three days, we couldn't get through them all before more arrived. The chat we were using at the time (a myWap Beatles page we hijacked) became almost unbearable with all the new faces giving off their enthusiasm and ironically Jon and Myself took refuge in FWCs chat for the night while i sifted through the beginnings of what was about to become the very first proper version of VWWE as we know it.
    
    Of course, knowing absolutely nothing about our new members and being an era of little character development, a lot of people who should have got bigger pushes at the start didnt and started off in the midcard while some people who didnt deserve it, did get those shots. A lot of the initial push ration went off how much "trash talk" you did in the chat (The locker) as opposed to anything else. Some prominent original members of VWWF included Mav, Pimp, WDS, Matt Hardy, Showtime, Hulk Hogan, Steve Austin, Triple H, Unforgiven, Paz, Rediffusion, Forsaken, Razor Ramon, Diesel, Nitro, Kane, nWoKane and of course the members of the Creative Team and many more besides. The decision was taken early that SA would contest the WWF Undisputed Championship with HBK on the first Raw simply because we were the biggest names available at that time and once again, it would be good for the image if a "draw" was Champion. Something that almost every Indy company has done is presumed they can make their own stars and claim they're in the same league as VWWEs when of course they're not, just like TNA's own stars are nowhere near WWEs, to make new stars they need to feud with established stars in the business and thus, early VWWE was dominated with ex-FWC Stars. One of my mottos with VWWE is "image is everything" and its completely true, whether wanting to bury an opponent, get somebody over or dictate the entire style and direction of the company, how people perceive what you're doing is where everything is won and lost, a fact, just like booking, that Rhyno never got his head around.
    
    Im always one for "impact", making the big entrance and/or a huge scene, i wanted VWWE to be talked about and from day one it be everywhere, i wasn't here to be second best, i knew i could produce something FAR better than what was currently on the table. But at that point, in those initial days, there was no desire to run anybody out of business, i did believe we could have a three Fed system like the old WWF-WCW-ECW one with VWWF-FWC-EHW. Nevertheless, i knew that if VWWF was to succeed we were going to have to both get FWCs attention and its members. At this point i was leader of the D-Generation X faction in FWC as HBK, Rhyno still having not connected me to the new Fed. Id kept my identity secret simply because i wished to remain in FWC as long as possible. Rhyno still suspected nothing even when i decided to change the faction from DX to the nWo and despite another affront on his part - adding TT and Sandman to the group, it became the best thing on the show. Gore is War was fast becoming, along with FWC chat, dominated by the nWo members, myself and SA.
    
    On March 4th 2002, Raw is War debuted from Madison Square Garden, the nWo defected from FWC along with SA and the show, although very poor by todays standards, was hailed as a classic. The impact had been made and you could probably say the first shot in the coming Monday Night War had been fired. What followed was a calm, Rhyno began a few rumors of moles within VWWF, trying to unsettle the creative team and the like and of course he succeeded. At that time i was a rather paranoid individual, but of course, as somebody said, just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you, and despite very little being proven, there were almost certainly people giving information to Rhyno, as of course SA and to a lesser extent, Tony was to us. The real Monday War didnt begin for around two weeks and in this time of calm, VWWE was REALLY born.
    
    Within the first two weeks several people emerged as locker room leaders, people of strong personality who stood head and shoulders above the rest both in terms of the promos they were dropping in chat, enthusiasm, knowledge and general likability. These men would become known as the Kliq. Hulk Hogan (Sam), Steve Austin (Tony) and the three Creative Team members in myself, Tony and Jon. However at this time Kane (Danny)., Triple H (Will) and Urbie were all also prominent as well as a certain Hollywood Nitro who would go one to be a controversial figure several years after leaving VWWE in much the same way the Ultimate Warrior has in real life. One of the biggest locker personalities at the time was Pimp who was very much in real life exactly what his character was. Many nights were spent in his company in these days and all that were there will remember him as possibly the most missed personality from the chat in that period.
    
    VWWEs image as a shambolic rebel promotion was always half reality, half created image based of WWFs 1997-1999 image but also our own birth, "bad" attitude and lack of site facilities. The Hiugo site crashing on an almost daily basis, a fact that maybe in a small way gave VWWE members an attitude of fighting the "corporate like" FWC with a site that never crashed and built on a PC as opposed to our built on a cell-phone. There was certainly a "backs to the wall" mentality that was reminiscent of the WWFs defense against WCW, a war of course then still fresh in the memory with the Alliance angle having ended just Three Months previously. The VWWF members developed something that FWC nor any Fed previous or since has achieved, a real community spirit and a comradeship that may have all begun when faced with the FWC onslaught that was soon to come, Hogans Crew, Nova and other idiots. We lived together and we died together to give an overly dramatic turn of phrase.
    
    VWWEs first major problem came just prior to WrestleMania X8 when my phone was broken. I was only away a week but soon discovered that a week is a long time in E-Feds and in the time off-line, not only had SA and Banshee relieved themselves of their positions on the board, but left the Fed while SA was Champion and scheduled to defend the belt in the Main Event of WrestleMania X8. To say i was mad would be an understatement. SA was officially stripped of the Undisputed Championship and hasty rewrites began. It was at this point that Sam stepped up to the plate and his first official backstage involvement began when he came aboard on discussions for the proposed ECW angle and the huge mistake of Virtual ECW, a second Fed run under the VWWE banner (it would be four and a half years before i produced an ECW show, so you know how this one ends). What SA was doing E-Fed wise between this point and his return a few months later i don't know but we still conversed frequently.
    
    WrestleMania X8 was a disaster, not much better than a normal Raw show. Three matches stuck out as quality in The Outsiders vs Too Good, the RVD Cage match and the Main Event, though the rest was a let down and in particular the ending, where a new and previously unannounced ECW faction made a run in was lame. The power had swung back toward FWC and did so for the whole next month during the Kane vs Nitro feud. Danny was not the problem, he was one of the best players of the game at the time and ive no doubt would be a major player still today, the problem was Nitro. Nitro was a poor character, even in the era of poor characters, and was a poor promo as well, bland and boring. However, he'd made a number of friends backstage and was a massive presence in the chat. In essence, there was a mini-Clique around him, some names including Hunter (George not Stu), Nemesis, Trish, Max Pain and Suppz Monkey will be familiar. This "popularity" led to him being in an awful faction by the name of AWOL and he received a push and the Main Event opportunity, firstly winning the ECW World Title (which would later become the WWE World Title, a scenario i of course didnt foresee at the time) and then WWE Champion. Nitro winning the belt was poor for VWWF, i knew this and booked him against Kane till he lost it quite frankly and following that loss he didnt receive another push. Unfortunately, six months later when Steve took over writing SmackDown, it appeared he was a fan and Nitro received a second undeserved push.
    
    While we had won the day both in February and March, FWC had won it in April. Several attacks by the likes of TT, snide comments in FWCs news and poor angles off ourselves had left me demoralized and the company losing its way somewhat. When Hiugo finally went down for what appeared to be good, it looked like it could be the end for VWWF.... and it was, for when VWWF returned on Tagtag and MyWap, we were now known as VWWE. WWE had "Got the F Out" a week or so before and we followed suit, i myself seeing it as a new beginning for the Fed and with many of the worse aspects of the last month forgotten, began several new angles that would make the Summer of 2002 possibly the most creative ever seen and a genuine golden age of VWWE and welcomed in several new faces that would become known as the second generation of Virtual WWE.
    
    With VWWE finally finding its feet, producing a quality product, chat and clearly around for the long haul, we began to attract several of FWCs stars including Tommy Dreamer, Suppz, Sabu and famously Sphere who went as far as to produce his own site detailing his reasons for leaving. They were Radicalz style Godsends, some of the final indications that FWC was dying. They all slotted in perfectly to storylines and despite the disappointments of agreeing deals with both DD and AWO only to see them fall through, VWWE was firmly back on top again. But something was missing angle wise, both a "big" star Ala Hulk Hogan, The Rock or Steve Austin in the WWE and a big time angle to center the company around. Thus was born the nWo era.
    
    Before the nWo however, came that big star and at that time there was one man who stood out for his dedication and quality above all other - Tony AKA Stone Cold Steve Austin. Austin had already headlined WrestleMania X8 and of course, then received a push in FWC (which he left shortly after the war began), so his elevation to a permanent Main Event status was no great leap up the card, plus his feud with Kane was something that both he and Danny got totally into, making it the most successful feud up till that point in VWWE. After the let down of WrestleMania and subsequent poor month in April, we needed to do what we'd done that very first Raw and make an impact. There was only one match that could do it - Hell in a Cell. It would be billed as the biggest match ever held in E-Feds, Kane the monster versus Steve Austin, the massive face looking for his first title. And did we deliver? oh hell yeah. The match was at that time, once again the most impressive match ever seen and was hailed as such, but more than that - it was a great card, everybody had something to do, a match of importance and i feel felt they had a lot of input into both it and the direction of their characters.
    
    Every good face needs a strong heel opponent. Rowdy Roddy Piper once aswed the question, would Hogan have been as big a face if he hadn't had such strong heel opponents such as himself? every Sherlock Holmes needs a Moriarty. Austin following Judgment Day was the biggest face in all E-Feds but needed an opponent, Kane had been defeated and was out of the picture as of course was SA and i was uncomfortable pushing HBK so soon again after the disastrous push he received around WrestleMania. My mind however was cast back to the very inception of VWWE and the nWo, a group that in the defection from FWC to VWWE had created possibly the largest amount of GENUINE heat from the business yet seen at that time.
    
    So the nWo would return, this time however, it would be true to both the real life nWo and DX - it would be born from the Kliq. HBK, Hulk Hogan and Nightmare formed the core to the group, Urban-Wolf and originally Triple H as the second duo, even though Urbie was of course a big star in his own right. The angle cought fire immediately, the locker loving it and truely dividing themselves into nWo and WWE groups. The addition of Booker T and Max Pain following Wills 27th firing may have diluted the group slightly but no more than a faction. The nWos political games, internal struggles and battles against Austin, Kane, RVD, Randy Savage, Nitro and the like gripped the whole community and just as the angle had done for the real WCW in 1996 through till 1998, we dominated the business.
    
    In late May, FWC finally folded. The Monday Night Wars were over (for now). Its hard to pin point and actual definite reason for its failure. I always like to point out the similarities between our small wrestling community and the real life goings on in WWE and how many times, without design, the art has immitated the life and without a doubt, the parallels with the folding of WCW are there for all to see. While FWC originally was the big cat, it got taken down by VWWE who they tried unsuccessfully to put out of business originally. Why did they go out of business? again, the similarities are there for all to see. WCW pushed stars who were either hasbeens or neverbeens such as Jarrett, Savage, Sid, FWC did the same, allowing Main Event positions to be given to the likes of AWO, Kohl, Sandman and HHH, members who today, wouldn't even be allowed a curtain jerking position in VWWE. WCWs booking decisions in its last years, particularly after the addition of Vince Russo to the creative team were nothing short of shambolic - Rhyno couldn't book for shit. Booking is an art form, you dont just throw matches out there, you need to plan ahead, what if Superstar A wins, what will we do? what if Superstar B wins, what will we do? how to we protect Superstar A if he lose? how do we give him his heat back? and so on. Rhyno never considered such action, he didn't understand this basic principle of ownership as quite frankly, so very few owners ever have. The third reason I'd put down is image which i talked about before. Once it became clear that Rhyno was out to attack VWWE in every way, by both insulting us personally and allowing others to do it, obvious that there was no peace, it became a war and the main tactic VWWE used was to destroy FWCs image. Destroy an E-Feds image and who'll want to work there? make it a joke, and what value is it? this is the exact tactic used by the WWF in the Monday Wars and it worked again here and has done again since. As said, image is everything and Rhyno again failed to conduct a defense and make himself look good, his shows, matches and belts became worthless as he produced a string of lame shows with the worst characters pushed over actual talent like Tommy Dreamer, Sphere, Doomsday and the like, he played right into our hands. And finally? its those same names. When Benoit, Saturn, Guerrero and Malenko defected to the WWF in 2000, it was seen as the death knell for WCW and although they continued on for over a year afterward, essentially WCW died that night the Radicalz debuted on Raw. When Dreamer, Suppz, Sphere, the Dawg Pound, Sabu etc all came to VWWE within a short space of time, it sent out a message that FWC was dying. A few weeks later, possibly the final straw came when Doomsday left FWC. DD had been instrumental backstage within FWC, doing much of the writing and creative duties, his leaving caused the stack of FWC cards to come crashing down around Rhynos ears, the era of FWC at an end. Although FWC did attempt comebacks later in the year and again in 2003 and again since, it never reached the heights of the Monday Wars.
    
    Of course, peace didn't rain for very long and around the same time VWWE began to encounter a very different type of opponent - Hogans Crew and Nova. Where as we'd been at war with a group/organization previous, this was a new challenge, two individuals who had no agenda other then to act like complete and utter pricks. The motivation, i cannot guess, a psychologist may know more. For those who dont recall, Hogan (NO relation to the other Hogan aka Sam btw) led a small group of idiots known as Hogans Crew (later the Devils Crew) in WAPWWE Chat. However, WAPWWE Chat began to die, several members moving to the VWWE Locker and its usership drying up. So of course, Hogan followed to where the members were, his task? to "destroy the chat". Hogans Crew, like with FWC, always claimed to have people inside VWWE and i almost know for fact this was in fact true. Hogan always knew more than he should and several incidents spring to mind immediately that confirm he was no all he seemed. Was Hogan really somebody VWWE already knew? later evidence points to that being the case, but of course, we'll never know for sure. Nova was like Hogan in many ways, simply came into chat and spouted random bullshit and insulted people. He was clearly both a child and slightly retarded, hence his joining up with Hogans Crew at one point. It was at this time i first came into contact with Fi via an opposition group named Killcrew that we supported, Sam and Myself joining toward the end. Hogans Crew were finally defeated following a memorable and in retrospect, rather odd, night in the locker. Nova however, continued to make a nuisance of himself for two whole years.
    
    Creatively, VWWE was on a high. The nWo angle had divided the locker down face and heel lines and we were on an all time high. Jon had agreed to return to the fold and we'd made new stars of RVD and Hogan (Sam always insists btw that he debuted in late March 2002 as a main eventer, this is not the case and it was early March as a midcarder lol). The nWo were the most successful group in history, but as we approached SummerSlam, the steam was running out a little. If done now, it would last 6-8 months thanks to the lesser shows and more evenly handed out airtime, but back then, the nWo was EVERYWHERE, just like in WCW of 96/97. Every segment was filled with the nWo vs WWF feud. It was decided that the nWo would split Ala Hollywood vs The Wolfpac, but instead of the Wolfpac - we'd return to DX and it would take the form of HBK, SA and a few weeks later, Doomsday. The alliance of HBK and SA, bitter enemies, and the return of DX at SummerSlam, shocked everybody and shook up the angle, the objective was achieved. However, looking back, i have to consider the thing a failure. Both Silent Assassin and Doomsday left the company shortly afterward (SA leaving for a second time while WWE Champion) and DX became swiftly HBK and Triple H (a group that would have great success with the Outlaws and X-Pac in 2003, but for the fall of 2002, was not on the map). The nWo continued on for a sort while, its line up consisting of RVD and Austin at one point before settling on Hogan, Hall and Nash and then in December, splitting up for good. With the nWo era over, in October a new one began when VWWE announced the brand extension would be coming to Raw and SmackDown. Steve aka Sphere would be taking the reigns of SmackDown while i would continue as writer of Raw and Chairman, Sam would be CEO. The ingredients were all in place for what has become the VWWE of 2007, but that as they say, is another story.
    
    So there ya go, the story of VWWEs birth. Of course, theres far more to it than this and i apologize in advance for anything or anybody ive forgotten or anything I've deliberately glossed over. Like all good books, even those published by the likes of Flair, Michaels and even Foley, need a few pages left out and a few fact maybe bent a little to make it seem like VWWE knew what they were doing all along :)

• Inglorious Bastards: The Histo

  • From: VWWE
  • Description:

    Inglorious Bastards: The History of the New World Order
    

    Many of WWE's newer fans, and even Superstars, will not know of the (in)glorious history of the New World Order within the business. While originally a WCW concept, the first instance of the nWo we shall deal with will be the one former in January of 2002 in the now defunct Fantasy Wrestling Championship (FWC).
    
    Shawn Michaels had recently comeback from a career ending back injury, persuaded by money, by his own admission, he joined the upstart FWC, reuniting with Razor Ramon and Diesel, better known as Kevin Nash and Scott Hall. The trio would soon form the nWo and the FWC Championship around the waist of Michaels. Despite the accolades and plaudits Michaels received, he and many other Superstars were unhappy in FWC due to the booking flaws of the company.
    
    In March, he and the entire nWo defected to the then WWF.
    
    In a memorable month, the group invaded Madison Square Garden, declared war on the World Wrestling Federation and laid waste Superstars such as Silent Assassin, Kane, Hollywood Nitro and Steve Austin, spraying their familiar "nWo" logo on the backs of their enemies. Michaels in particular was noted for becoming the most hated man in the industry both on TV and backstage. The New World Order era not just a gimmick, they were for real. It wasn't to last however and after the WWF decided to turn Michaels face at WrestleMania 18, the nWo drifted apart, but significantly, all it's members left Skydome as a title holder, Michaels the Undisputed Champion and The Outsiders the World Tag Team Champions.
    
    With the Monday Night Wars against FWC in full swing, WWE decided they needed to hit FWC where it hurt - in the ratings. Hell in a Cell - Steve Austin - the nWo, three knockout blows from which WWE figured FWC would never recover.. they were right.
    
    The summer of 2002 was the summer of the nWo. Forming in May, this second version of the nWo is considered the "nWo classic", the definitive and most successful version of the group.
    
    Since being in WWE Michaels had formed a backstage Kliq, a group of Superstars closely allied and working to advance their own careers and "have some fun" as HBK put it in a 2004 interview. The Kliq were loved and loathed alike, many seeing them as the saviors of the business, the ones taking the war to FWC, while others saw them as arrogant, obnoxious and holding good Superstars down. The Kliq consisted of Michaels, Hulk Hogan, Steve Austin, Nightmare and Silent Assassin, the 5 men who would play a key role in what was to come.
    
    The nWo centered around three of the five members of the Kliq - Michaels, Hogan and Nightmare, with Urban-Wolf as the forth member and Shane McMahon in a management role. Triple H had been in the group for only a week but due to heat with the Kliq, was released from the company in the first sign of things to come.
    
    To feud with the nWo? Team WWE, led by Kliq member Steve Austin and later Silent Assassin.
    
    The havoc caused the first time around was nothing compared to the carnage this time, Steve Austin was stripped of the WWE Championship, Nightmare became WWE commissioner and split the brands, the nWo literally bought the company and fired Vince McMahon. HBK was awarded the WWE Championship and anybody who argued was beaten and abused. WWE was in the grip of an nWo dictatorship.
    
      A 5 on 5 elimination match for total control of WWE was arranged for SummerSlam 2002, but little know to the nWo, Shawn Michaels had become increasingly insecure about his own position within the group, Hulk Hogan having become Undisputed Champion several weeks before with Shawn struggling to get back into the title picture. Unknown to anybody, Michaels had a secret agenda and during the match betrayed the nWo to form D-Generation X with Silent Assassin, it was a tear from which the nWo Classics would not recover.
    
    Hulk Hogan immediately formed a new nWo with the returning Kevin Nash and Scott Hall, Nightmare being drafted to SmackDown and also leaving the group. While it looked like the nWo's time maybe over however, they received an unexpected boost as another consequence of the brand split - Eric Bischoff became General Manager of Raw. An nWo sympathizer since the WCW days, Bischoff brought Hogan to Raw and instantly made him World Heavyweight Champion.
    
    The nWo continued in much the same way it had, invading UWW at one point, ejecting Randy Savage from the company and creating all manner of havoc, but their power was broken - Nash and Hall were not Nightmare and Shawn Michaels. Hogan soon became disillusioned with the black and white and as America geared up for war with Iraq, Hogan's patriotic strings were pulled. In one memorable moment in early 2003, Hogan returned in the red and yellow, ready to do battle against the Iron Sheik and the Weapons of Mass Destruction tag team, finally headed to the main event of WrestleMania XIX against Steve Austin in the Icon vs Icon match. The nWo was dead.
    
    But as somebody once said, maybe everything that dies one day comes back... and it was certainly true for the nWo.
    
    With no competition, WWE's creative department became lax and by 2004 ratings had dropped like a stone. Coupled with a scandal concerning steroid and recreational drug use backstage at WWE events, WWE was in serious danger of being taken off the air. WWE decided that once again, the nWo were needed.
    
    At WrestleMania XX, Vince McMahon claimed that if the performers did not please him, he would kill WWE there and then. As he watched from a skybox at Madison Square Garden, it became ever increasingly obvious he was not happy, calling Evolution - Triple H, Batista, Ric Flair and Suffering, along with Goldberg into the skybox to watch the Main Event. As Hulk Hogan pinned Shawn Michaels, dethroning Showtime as World Champion in the process, it became clear this was no ordinary match. Eric Bischoff, X-Pac, Nash and Hall all came out - the nWo were not going to let the company die, Hulk Hogan proclaiming this was the "house that Hogan built", they were here to take what they could from the ailing company. Vince put his thumbs up, WWE lived and he accepted the challenge.
    
    The last nWo were more vicious than ever, throwing people through glass doors, belt whippings, not even interested in winning matches anymore - just taking all they could and making sure they remained on top as the likes of Evolution tried to save the company, tried to make new stars. The nWo died a few months later inside a Wargames match, the first and only such match on Raw. It would be the nWo versus Evolution, Silent Assassin and Goldberg. Suffering pinned Michaels, his future seemingly made, the nWo in crisis... but we never found out what happened next as the USA Network pulled the plug on Raw, taken off the air.
    
    And that would have been the end of the story, the final chapter ending on the last episode of the old Raw inside the cell.
    
    
    But the nWo... cannot die. Everytime WWE is in crisis, every time Hulk Hogan rears his head or Shawn Michaels hints at the past, the name is there, lurking in the background. One such moment was during the dark days of the New Generation war.
    
    The parallels are there for all to see, the upstart group led by Shane McMahon, trying to take over the WWE, even some of the same figures were present - Vince McMahon and Stone Cold leading Team WWE. But this time, McMahon had little success against his son and the New Generation, a group who's sole aim was to destroy the WWE Originals. McMahon became increasingly frustrated at the war he's fighting, ever more unhinged.
    
    Then one week he did the unthinkable - he signed a deal to reunite the original nWo, to ally Team WWE with the very men they fought such a bitter war against - a unified WWE and nWo to fight off the challenge of the New Generation.
    
    It never happened, Vince balked on the deal at the last moment... but was Vince as mad as he appears?
    
    The nWo made a career out of putting themselves over young stars, of beating down, holding down and throwing upstarts out of the company. Could it be that Vince saw this as an asset in fighting the New Generation? there can be no doubt that the nWo will stoop to tactics even Randy Orton, Suffering or Legacy would not even consider.
    
    
    The nWo were even rumored to be the power behind Eric Bischoffs half ownership just this year.... but now, we have the most interesting twist in the tale of the nWo for some time because with WWE's 2009 finincial crisis, the company was forced to sell a lot of it's trademarked names, logos and entities to rival organizations... and rumor has it one of those was the nWo.
    
    
    What would happen if the nWo were to invade TNA? would that company cumble under the weight and assault the nWo would inflict? or, like WWE, would the nWo build the company, would he lead TNA into a war with WWE that TNA could possibly win with the force of the balck and white behind it?
    
    Would buying the rights to the nWo be a smart move by Dixie Carter? possibly, but watch your back because the poison covered knife carried by Hogan, Michaels and the original Kliq will always be ready and waiting to strike...

• Men In The Mirror: How The Cul

  • From: VWWE
  • Description:

    When i was growing up in New York in the 1980s and early 1990s, there was no bigger star than Michael Jackson, his fame and talent cannot be comprehended by many younger fans and people who'll read this blog. He was the Barack Obama of his age and yet, so much more. He was Obama and Elvis Presley all in one. He united black and white, young and old, gay and straight, Christian, athiest, Jew and Muslim all singing and dancing to the tune of all those great albums and works of genius such as Billie Jean, Smooth Criminal and Beat It. Michael Jackson was as much an American icon as McDonalds and Coca-Cola.
    
    Michael Jackson made world leaders listen far more than even Bono could imagine, just like when Presley met Nixon, Reagan wanted to be in the spotlight with Jackson. He was the first MTV megastar, standing alongsode other icons of that era from Madonna to Arnaold Swartzanegger and our own Hulk Hogan. From Motown to the Staples Center, the career of Michael Jackson was played out before our eyes. Before the watching millions, before the fans that loved him and adored him.
    
    And the fans that killed him.
    
    You see when it's all said and done, a heart attack or a drug overdose did not kill Michael Jackson... you did.
    
    Just like you killed Eddie Guerrero... and just like you killed Chris Benoit.
    
    And when it's all said and done, you'll kill me too.
    
    You see, Michael Jackson was the real world Truman Burbank, for anybody who's ever seen that movie The Truman Show. From birth right up until death, the camera and media were on Michael Jackson, he was watched 24/7, fans across the globe wanted a piece of the King, wanted to know every last fact about him. At what point do we stop being a human being with free will and freedom of thought and simply become a prisioner inside our own existance with you the fans and the celebrity obsessed media as our jailers?
    
    But it's not simply some kid wanting an autograph in a resturant, not simply some new story on TMZ, some new lurid false rumor in the New York Post, oh no, it's far more.
    
    You believe we OWE you something, that because you buy our merchandise, because you "pay our wages" you have a right to make a demand of us.
    
    Of course we all love to perform, we all become addicted to the adulation of the crowds, we become high on the love you all give to us and when that's taken from us, just like Ric Flair or Scorpio who signed for TNA, we'll do anything for one last injection of fan appriciation, we're as much to blame... but the fans... well the fans always want more.
    
    "Tell me, can you ask for a little bit more?" asked the song, and you do. You chant for Steve Austin to have one more match despite the fact most of you know he cant and would risk paralysis, you chant for 60 year old men like Ric Flair to have one more match, you beg Jeff Hardy to put his broken, battered and drug addled body through one more table. The sicker of you almost pray at night that John Cena suffers an injury, that CM Punk would break his neck. From "Die Rocky Die" to "Cane Dewey" the wrestling fans have shown that they don't really care about us.
    
    Sat in your comfortable chairs, beer in hand, you demand that i perform for you like a monkey in a freak show or a puppet on your strings. You want me to perform in ever more athletic matches, giving our your little ratings and stars in dirtsheets, you chant "you fucked up" when i prove i'm human, cheer as my blood covers the canvas. When i'm injured, you feel sad for a few minutes... then you start to talk about who'll take my spot. You want matches with ladders and cages.. WWE are now even thinking about a pay-per-view all inside Hell in a Cell... all because you fans will pay a few extra bucks to see me lose few extra braincells. I have to perform like a machine every Monday night, you demand match after match, segment after segment, demand that i perform to your standards, that i serve you on your terms, you want me to be Michael Shane, WWE Superstar, 24/7 just like you demanded album after album from Michael Jackson, demanded he produce another Thriller, demanded songs and performances but called him "Wacko Jacko", mocked and ridiculed him when what he needed was help. Just like you disrespect me and the rest of us in this business whenever we don't come up to your standards or expectectations.
    
    See, Michael Jackson never had any hope of completing his stint at London's o2, it would have been a marathon for him in his prime let alone the man who died dependent on drugs to seemingly even get up in the morning. It would be like Ric Flair, no offense to him, main eventing WrestleMania 50 times in a single year and being expected to put on a thriller and potentially a match of the year each time. It's a ludricous suggestion.
    
    But Michael Jackson had to do it. Don't kid yourself that it was all about paying off debts, he had to do it because he, and you, believed he owed you one last spectacular, one last show, one last memory. Bigger, better, more, and more... and more... and more. Take, take, take. And the greedy music industry, the yes men around him were all to willing to let him kill himself for the money, the fans were all too willing to let him kill himself for one last show. It seems like a fair trade doesn't it... all your love and adulation in exchange for suicide, pushing the body beyond reasonable limits, pumping drugs into our vains to keep us going, our heads screwed up from every crazy little moment. Whether its through a concert at the o2 or just another match at a house show in some tiny town in Florida, this is the deal made between every celebrity and every fan.
    
    You people do not know us. You may think you do, you may watch the characters we play every week on television, read our books and blogs, listen to our music. You may see what you think we are, you may even believe you form a bond with us, like all those fans holding vigils for Michael this past week.... but you don't know us and you don't know me. You weren't there when i went to school, laughed with my friends, when i had my first kiss, lost my virginity or nearly died. You aren't there when i hold my girlfriend at night, when i kiss her goodbye, you aren't there when i share a moment with my parents, when i mock my brother or comfort a friend. You aren't there as i make bagels in the morning or do push ups, you aren't there as i watch TV, down a Coke Zero, workout or go to bed. It's the little things, the normal things we do offscreen that make us who we are, that make us human beings... and mean that you can never know the real us.
    
    You see, that was half the reason for us being in a state of shock and trauma over the Chris Benoit tragedy, we all thought we knew the man. Thought that what we saw of TV gave us a connection, led us to believe he wasn't capable of such an action.. but all we saw was what WWE and WCW before them wanted us to see, what Chris wanted to show us. We didn't know Chris Benoit, we don't know what he was capable of or what was going on inside his own head.
    
    So is it any wonder that Michael Jackson hid himself away inside Neverland and died pumped full of drugs just like Elvis Presley before him? any wonder that Kurt Cobain blew his head off or Eddie Guerrero pumped himself full of drugs as well? is it any wonder that Ric Flair just cannot ever have one last match or Amy Winehouse is drugged up in Jamaica, that Ricky Steamboat and Tommy Dreamer come back for one more chance, one last moment in the spotlight. That for every person we've already lost because of the demands of fame, dozens more are secretly already dying through drug habits and all manner of disorder.
    
    The pressures and demands that you the fans and the mass celebrity obsessed media put upon us is something that you cannot understand. While you think that we live an easy life, that we are rich beyond our dreams, that celebrity and money are a Godsend... it's not as easy as all that. We have to be perfect, beautiful and infallable, the new royalty. We are the World. One hair out of place and we're mocked, one move wrong and the message boards are calling us past it, too fat and WWE are sending you home, too old and you're consigned to TNA.
    
    So the next time Jeff Hardy is suspended for pumping his body full of painkillers and going off the wall.. the next time Mickie James is in the Observer for saying the wrong thing... or the next time i don't put on a 5 star match, or act how you expect... remember one thing - you don't know me. You don't know any of us, whats going on in our heads or our lives.
    
    So the next time you tell me i fucked up, criticize my performance in a match, shoot down my ideas and statements or demand that i perform for you, just picture Michael Shane aged 50, body shattered from years of abuse, pumped with drugs so he can make it down that aisle one more time. Picture his heart giving out before one last night in the sun at a WrestleMania.
    
    And realize... it would be all your fault.
    
    "I'm starting with the man in the mirror, I'm asking him to change his ways and no message could have been any clearer, if you wanna make the world a better place take a look at yourself and make a change"
    
    And to all the Michael Shane fans out there, please don't take this as a personal insult, you know you rock my world... but it's just the way you make me feel. Don't worry, no matter what.... I just can't stop loving you ;)
    
    Michael Shane (OWWW!, I'm bad, i'm bad, ya know it)
