Black & white movies all night long ...
Well first things first. I guess I will be hip and trendy and comment on the Knoxville show. I was very happy with it. This comming from an enternal pesimist! Good crowd, only wish it was bigger. I actually felt pretty well all day as well. That surprised me alot considering I only got about a hour of sleep and I walked around the track around 10 times. Had a nice long chat while I was doing that. Well actually a couple chats while I was walking the track. Learned alot of things while doing that from everyone that either walked with me or the opposite way I was walking. And for the most part didn't have any real problems from anyone the entire day. The matches I was out during were great. Sinnister worked probably the best match I have ever seen him work. The tag match was ... well how to say this. It was the first time during a wrestling match I actually somewhat feared for my well being. Those high school kids were nuts. But the person I am most proud of from that entire show was someone who probably went unnoticed. That was Robbie, our ref. He was great out there. Even helped me get heat from the crowd a couple of times, and made me get to the other side of the ring when some punk ass jock with a sign came charging at me during the tag match. I know he probably won't ever see this, but he did one hell of a job conisdering this is like only his 3rd week being a ref. I hope what I heard of us going back in September is true as well. Becasue I know after this time the crowd will probably double in size.
I just got done watching probably the most accidently depressing movie I have watched in a long time. The original black and white Frankenstein. It depressed me on how much the monster was misunderstood. No one, not even DeNerio's version, of the monster will even do Karloff's version justice. Yeah I know when everyone thinks Karloff in that movie they just think of him stumbling around with his arms out reached moaning and groaning. But he did so much with his eyes and face to show the pent up anger and childlike reasoning going on inside. Then at the end the compassion that is human nature came out.
A somewhat random statement: Be careful what you wish for ... you just might get it.
Just got done watching a shitload of stuff from E3. The last thing I watch might have been the coolest. 3 trailers for Tekken 5. The arcade intro was awesome. You actually see the death of Heihachi. But fret not, a new Mishima is in the game. I think it is probably another offsrping of Kazua, but don't quote me on that. But the other game Death by Degrees, is a Nina solo game. The trailer reminded me of Metal Gear Solid but no steal. In fact Nina was being quite bold and just kicking the shit out of everyone she came across. The other game from E3 that sticks out in my mind is of the new Zelda game. My god it looks great. Link looks just like he did in Soul Caliber 2. If you are a gamer at all I recomend going to gametrailers.com and just looking around for a few hours at all the new shit comming out.
The only other thing I have to say before I go to bed is this. I am going to say I am sorry for this week's up comming show. I know it is going to suck. I am down 4 people on the roster. The person the show was going to focus on told me on Saturday that he isn't going to be there come this week's show. And with only a little over a month till Ace of Spades it is going to seriously hurt the credibility of the character. The major build to the supercard is going into full effect. And before anyone asks or jumps on me about stuff like, "well why don't you just do it next week?". I will answer that this way. I can't there isn't enough time. Everyone will get equal time for build up for their matches ... if they are there. If you aren't there, I can't build you up. Not enough time and things are already planned out, for the most part, on every card up to and including Ace of Spades itself.
One last bit of random advice - If you have a problem with something or someone. Be man enough to ask to speak to them about it face to face, rather than talk about shit behind peoples backs. Because if you talk to someone you will know the truth and gain their respect in the long run.
Oh yeah to the person who asked to speak with Alex and myself on Friday. You have gained my respect for doing what I had just talked about. Anytime you wish to have another sit down, and I speak mainly for myself becasue I won't talk for Alex, you are more than welcome to. Not that you never had my respect before, you just reinstilled the respect I had for you. Keep up the good work.
