Did he work for Wildside? Not sure other than the WCW Power Plant. He was booked to debut on Nitro for the following week. Yet, the very next day, they broke the news to the crew that WWE had just bought them. |

One of my best friends since the age of twelve, a former WCW developmental worker, and a future groomsman for my upcoming wedding, Tarryn Hoff, hosts fitness YouTube show GoTarryn TV. I just wanted to share his latest episode, a half hour interview with Stevie Richards; about fitness, technology, and his wrestling career. Check it out.

I loved the Bam Bam segment, and Brian Lee's debut. Question: Have you gotten rid of Wrestling Challenge entirely? Just curious. Good work!

One positive you can find out of this, is years later, he finally figured out what you must've seen in it that was so cool. I'm sure if he met you today, and remembered who you were, he'd apologize.

Felt the same way about Del Rio, after he won the WHC from Big Show, on a random SD taping my now-fiance took me to. It's awesome when you end up live for surprise title wins.

Okay, so with my gift-card windfall for my birthday back in September, one of the first things I bought was a pre-order of two copies of the now-released TPB of IDW's Ghostbusters Get Real. It's a miniseries where the cartoon 'Real Ghostbusters' end up stranded in the alternate universe of the Ghostbusters of the original films, and the plot coincides with classic RGB cartoon episode 'Janine Melnitz, Ghostbuster'. I bought one to read, and another copy to save to share with my future kids, so they can watch the episode and read what happens, themselves. Anyway, ever since the beginning of the month, my order status told me 'Expected Delivery Dec. 11-16', with no signs of shipment - even though tomorrow's the 11th. I figured something was fishy, so I contacted Amazon's phone-back option, to try and get to the bottom of it.
I get a human being and explain the situation. I fibbed a little and said the reason I was concerned was that one of the copies is meant to be a Christmas gift. They checked into it, and admitted there was a problem with the order (they didn't bother specifying). At first I was annoyed that I had to re-order at what would be a higher total price than I paid, but realized that the freed up gift card credit would apply to the re-order. No harm done. However, to my surprise, the lady on the other end of the line, applied free two-day shipping for the inconvenience. I should get the books on Sunday, waiting for me as I get home from a road trip this weekend. I'm glad I thought to contact them when I did, and happy they did something to please the customer.

Anything WWE comes from gifts from my fiance. Figures, shirts, event tickets. She knows it makes me happy, she can afford it, and it's easy come gift-giving time.
Who else can say they have relationship tent poles based on WWE/wrestling? I'm lucky enough to say that we do.

If I got a gift subscription from someone who only had a vague notion of what I liked, that'd be one thing. However, I don't bother with them myself, due to liking very few and specific fandoms. I'd end up with a lot of items I normally wouldn't be excited for.

Great work. I know it'll be a while yet, but I'm looking forward to seeing how you book WM 11. Keep it up!

He'll forever be the guy that almost landed in my lap at the last ECW show I ever attended.

I'm interested in creating an arena that is similar to the 80s-90s syndicated Superstars show. Small arena, 1980s screen filter, that sort of thing. Is there a way to use the ECW arena model as a base? I seem to remember other people complaining that the shrubbery in the aisle couldn't be taken out. So, I imagine it could be done.
While I'm at it, I can't believe that even with the WM 12 and 13 arena models, they're not available in CAA, that I can see. I'd love to make the WM 11 arena.
I'm using 360. Any help either way is appreciated.

Balor could be gambling on the expansion of NXT that is coming up. If NXT can become a viable brand, where they tour and generate dollars....Finn could be sitting on an absolute gold mind. NXT has the ECW like cult following. They are putting out a whole new product and attracting eyes. They are basically a modern day ECW. The biggest difference is ECW fell because of inability to manage money and suffer through some losses. NXT will not have that issue. NXT can suffer losses and they will have the money and notoriety to run under the WWE banner. I think Finn will only have so much room to keep himself in NXT. HHH may be able to stall for a bit, but if Vince decides he wants Finn on the main roster...Finn is going to the main roster. Right, wrong, or indifferent. I think 2016 is gonna be a very interesting year for NXT. If the plans for expansion reach the levels that HHH believes they can, the alternative to WWE might be its own product. Exactly what I intended to say, but you put it better. |

Not music, but I remember having a very ordinary dream with not much going on. However, I could hear very familiar dialogue. Even my dream-self was thinking "This sounds very familiar, but from where? And what does it have to do with what's happening?" Long story short, I fell asleep to Nick-At-Nite, and woke up to a 4 am Fresh Prince rerun.

Seeing the tournament pairings this is how I see the tournament working out: Quarter-Finals Ahmed vs Sid= Winner: Ahmed Bulldog vs Liger= Winner: Bulldog Helmsley vs Kid= Winner: Helmsley Goldust vs Hart= Winner: Hart Semi-Finals Ahmed vs Bulldog= Winner: Bulldog Helmsley vs Hart= Winner: Hart Final Bulldog vs Hart= Winner: Bret "The Hitman" Hart (#1 Contender for WWF Championship, will face WWF Champion at the 1996 Royal Rumble) I agree, with the exception that Bulldog wins it all. He deserves a solid push to the title, since it never happened in real-time. |

Just cobbled together a CAW of Blue Pants. Came out better than expected. Sorry I can't share, but I don't have online capability. Though, as someone who wasn't going to mess with CAWs this year, I'm happy I can now play as my favorite diva.

This was fabulous!
The debut of Public Enemy (Grunge was the first wrestler I ever met in person), Dusty on commentary, Goldust as IC champ, Austin's debut, the Diesel turn, and Vader as the WWF champ.
Everything I could've asked for. Bravo! I can't wait to read more.

Sent you a PM with my award picks.
I sincerely hope you don't put Hogan back in WWF title contention. In 1995, it was the New Generation. If you keep Hogan in your WWF, he should be more of a Babe Ruth figure at this point.
I enjoyed the Bret-Owen segment. I think it really set Owen up as a strong heel.
Good job putting the tag titles on Tatanka & Vega. It makes the tag titles interesting again, and keeps Simmons' stable fresh.
Royal Rumble should be interesting. It was always my favorite event behind Mania. Keep up the great work!
