V1 Update - Dec 12/97
Merry Christmas and all that rubbish...ofcourse, if your not the Catholic type, then just do it for the gifts...I know I do. I just wanna say something first...which incidently has nothing to do with wrestling...but a HELL of a lot to do with your life. I was on my way to University today, and on the radio, what should I hear you ask???? The NEWS you fool, what else is on in the morning???? Anywhoo, I heard about how this young man was rushing to get somewhere in his car, and he nailed a mother and her two kids who were crossing a crosswalk. Two little kids, a brother and sister, aged 7 and 8 were both killed in their MOTHER'S arms!!!! To top it all off, the cops said that they smelled booze on this dipshit. MY PLEA TO ALL YOU PEOPLE, TAKE IT EASY YOU FAGGOTS!!!!!! I'm sure that those little kids parents are gonna have one hell of a Christmas. Now, I ask you, where the hell could be so important that you HAVE to be speeding around like a psycho???? Just take it easy...as I'm sure the guy who ran them over must feel pretty hot right now...or maybe he dosen't even care, I don't know. Well, that's enough of my plea, as I'm sure most people don't give a rat's ass what I think...if your an ass, no one is gonna be able to change you.
OK, now I've been out of the Wrestling World for the last 2 weeks and have to get caught up on the next few weeks of my holiday here. Hmmm... let's see what have I heard about that I can actually talk about, well how 'bout DX?
First off, ast month I REALLY hated the DX group, but nowadays with the Hart Foundation non-existant, I kinda like what DX is up to, I find 'em so F__KIN' hillarious, especially the crotch shots! hahahah... but I REALLY would've liked to see Shamrock holding the WWF Belt, he deserves it and I think he's a cool wrestler. And oh yeah, Owen's back!! I applaud what Owen did and didn't bail out like his traitor brother Bret. With Bret gone, Owen's got the spotlight on him now, hope he puts it to good use! I would also like to see Owen sometime in his years in the WWF clinch the Heavyweight Championship!
Now for the Austin/Rock 'bout... seems like Austin cleaned house there but it kinda sucks what he did the next night on RAW, although this could get awesome with his quest for the big WWF gold! Oh yeah, speaking of Austin, do you dig that truck he has?!?! I think that's pretty goddamned cool! "Austin 3:16" on the door and the smoking skull on the hood... WHOA! That truck kicks ass!
Finally the HHH/Slaughter 'bout. I would've like to see Slaughter win, would've been good on the guy and recognition but well guess it didn't happen.
If I'm correct I think Taka won the Lightheavyweight Championship!! I really like this guy!! Now tell me this isn't stupid, they made Taka job to Flash Funk. MAAAN, I don't remember the last time I saw Flash win until he wrestled Taka on Shotgun. I gotta admit, with about a 40 pound weight difference between Taka and Flash, Taka did pretty good against Flash. I almost thought he won the match, but well Flash toasted Taka at the very end with the leg drop he does off the top rope. Congrats goes out to Taka! Way to go for being the first LHC in the WWF!
Well I'm kinda out of ideas right now cause that holiday season feeling is just SLOWLY sinking into my brain, right now I'm still in school mode so the wrestling ideas aren't coming to me. As you heard from V1 at the beginning of his view for this month you probably read about the kids that got killed. With this Christmas and New Years coming up, a little extra holiday cheer will be much pronounced for all you legal aged drinkers and non-legal aged drinkers... ;-). I have one tip for all you tough guys out there who think they can get behind the wheel under the influence, "If you drink and drive, you're a bloody idiot." Happy holidays everyone!!

Additional Commentary, P. Medina - Dec 12/97
OK, now onto the thing we call wrestling...while the outside world calls it two homos grabbing each other. First off, I'd just like to say that if it wasn't for Christopher St. Laurent, this site would not be what it is today...I view many of my RIW material from his tapes. YOU DA MAN!!!!! There I said it.
OK, now onto wrestling. I personally didn't see IYH:DX, but from what I heard, it sounded pretty damn good. I know there are those people out there who hate every single PPV any company has ever put out. I'm sure if there was ever a PPV with the main event being:Jesus Vs. Satan, for the control of the world, there would be people out there would say that the match was too predictable or some other lameo thing. In IYH:DX, I especially like the fact that good 'ol Owen Hart has decided to stay in the WWF and probably receive the push of his life. Make no mistake about it, Owen is going to be the NEW Canadian sensation in the WWF...not only that, he's younger then Bret and every bit as good as Bret. He also seems to be just as over with the fans as Bret. I'd predict that we could be seeing Owen finally holding the main WWF belt, sometime in the near future. I'd even go as far to say that he might hold it before the end of the summer in 1998.
I for one cannot believe that the NO-Talent-Stiff-always- constipated Interrogator(or is it Kurrgan now???) is actually getting a push. This guy is beyond being terrible...he makes Kevin Nash and Sid look like Dean Malenko. Kurrgan is a joke, he has no mic skills other then an occasional growl, he look pug ugly, and I've seen the guy do maybe two real moves. Hell, he can hardly even walk, he looks so damned clumsy in the ring. Now, I sure as hell ain't no wrestler, but I do know that EVEN I could pull of more wrestling moves then Kurrgan. I've done a Razor's Edge before, a gutwrench suplex, a fisherman suplex and a snap suplex before, a DDT and a side Suplex(just call me V1 "The Suplex Machine"...hell, I even climbed on top of a table and done a flying elbow before...and I'm not on the WWF's payroll too. Your telling me this Kurrgan, who can't even walk to the ring without looking like a fool is going to get a monster push...while Flash Funk(who incidently can walk) is going to stay a jobber???? While I'm ripping Kurrgan, what the hell is with that lamer than shit finishing move of his???? First it was a sad looking side suplex(yeah, like that's gonna really put someone down) and now he's got a clawhold/slam thing??? Good god, if he's gonna do a move that lame, at least get the big ox to do it right...other wise it looks lame. Hell, even Hulk Hogan is a technical genius compared to this guy. In my view, the only push The Interrogator should be getting is a PUSH RIGHT OUT THE GODDAM WINDOW OF TITAN TOWERS!!!!!!
I truly have to wonder just what Vince is thinking with his Goldust angle. I don't like it, I know that many other people don't like it either. If Vince wants to make Goldust into a freak, have him go back to his old hmo angle...atleast I likes that angle. This new one, with Goldust being some kinda sexual slave to Luna "Butt-nasty" Vachon is insane. It's too damn much for wrestling...even the Extreme ECW has never had an angle quite this strange...although they did have that lesbian angle between Beulah and Kimona Wanalaya(now that's an angle I could really sink my teeth into), but ECW has never had an angle that features a wrestler dressed up as a...something and crawling around with a ball in his mouth and a chain around his neck. Ok, so the Pitbulls have a chain around their necks, but that's because their called The Pitbulls and not called "The Guys Who Get Lead Around On A Leash Like A Sex Slave Ready To Do Whatever Their Dominant Master Wants Them To." I know that Vinman is trying to appeal to a more mature and adult group...but damn Vince, I think your aiming for an audience that's either TOO MATURE, or an audience fulla FREAKS!!!! Seriously, what kinda mature person goes for half this stuff???? I know that the Goldust angle is one that I wouldn't touch, the race angle is one I wouldn't touch...hell, this Sable/Marc Mero angle isn't all that mature either.
The only people I can imagine who would get all giddy with seeing Sable(or any of their females valets) in a bikini would be the adolescent, pre-pubescent boys. Now, I know that in my Female Picture thing, I sound a tad immature with some of the ways I describe the pictures. I know that, but I also know where to draw the line and that Sable shouldn't flount it too much. Over saturation can suck too...too much of a good thing, well you know tha saying. What I'm trying to get at is that I liked Sable better before she started running around half buck, with two watermelons on her chest. She had more...class when she was atleast 85% covered up with a reasonable sized chest...now they just look TOO DAMN FAKE.
OK, now onto WCW. I just have one thing to ask. WHAT IN THE NAME OF ALL THAT IS HOLY IS ERIC BITCHOFF DOING????? Does he really think that he's such a big star that people will wanna see him in the ring facing "The Living Legend" Larry Zybisco??? No one gives even a quarter of a rat's ass about Bitchoff, but everyone knows he is going to clean house with Larry. A non-wrestler against an over the hill wrestler. Everyone knows that Larry should be able to kick Eric's ass all the way up to his face...I mean, look at Eric, he's a little prick. Ofcourse this will never happen, Eric Bitchoff(will win the match with, you guessed it, NWO screw job) and and the NWO will claim NITRO as their own show, with WCW stating their show on Thursday. This has got to be one of THE WORST played out angles I have EVER come across. This is terrible, Eric has no business in the ring, he has no business in the wrestling business. This guy dosen't even know how to use his wrestling talent...other then a handful of NWO members, what else has he actually done...oh wait, I forgot he gave us THE YETI!!!!!!!!
OK, last topic for the day, then I scram. DDP. Is it just me or is this guy TERRIBLY overrated??? I don't know, I don't generally watch WCW all that much anymore, but all of DDP's matches are the same. Let me run it down for you from beginning to end:"Self-High Five" DDP walking to the ring with his patented bandaged ribs. Bang! to the fans over here Bang! to the fans over there. DDP enters the ring and faces (insert name of anyone here). DDP gets in a few punches, attempts a move, but misses. His opponent counters and for the next three days, DDP is getting the beating of his life. The announcer go "Oh my God, is DDP still alive??? His brains are gonna get smushed out soon". DDP still getting beaten...still...still...still... second coming of Christ... still getting beaten. BANG!!!!!! outta his back pocket, DDP lands the DIAMOND CUTTER...1..2...3...it's ALL OVER...VICTORY DDP!!!!!!! The announcers then go "MY God, this has got to be the GREATES NITRO EVER!!!! AND YOU ROMANS THOUGHT YOU HAD IT GOOD WHEN YOU WERE FEEDING YOUR PRISONERS TO THE LIONS, YOU'VE NEVER SEEN ACTION TILL YOU'VE SEEN NITRO...wait, what's this, THE NWO ARE RUNNING IN!!!!!" DDP nails Buff, nails Konnan, by wait, the actual important guys in the NWO are coming in, they swarm, DDP is getting the pounding of his life. The announcers "FANS, WE'RE SORRY, WE KNOW YOUR ALL GLUED TO YOURS SEATS, BUT WE'VE RUN OUTTA TIME!!!!!!but don't worry, this beating is going to go non-stop till next NITRO, a week straight of DDP getting beaten on" Ok, V1 back here, how can a guy like DDP get over so much with the fans...I know they all say that he's a great worker, had to work for everything he's got...yada yada yada. Bottom line, he always gets his assed kicked till he pulls out the Diamon Cutter. Come to think of it, a DDP match is pretty simialr to a Lex Loser match, just change Bang with No Charisma over here and No Charisma over there and Diamond Cutter with Torture Rack.
Speaking of DDP, but how many people out there know of a man named RichinKC???? if you've never heard of him, consider yourself lucky. If you have, isn't he the most annoying prick on the WWW????(I'm a gonna get burned by the fine people at SCOOPS for this) This guy is such a DDP suck up...I'd be surprised if he can even talk, the way he's always got his lips planted on DDP's ass. His reports always go like "I was hoping to meet DDP before Nitro, but DDP was busy, oh well, I'll just meet DDP's wife, Mrs. DDP. I met Kimberly at the lobby, and she hugged me infront of everyone...they all thought that I was cool, cause a pug ugly troll like me hugged Kimberly(but that cool thought didn't last long, they could see right through me, they knew I was a loser). Next, Kim took me up to her room, and she changed right in front of me...can you believe that, DDP's wife, CHANGED INFRONT OF ME!!!!! Natuarally, being the stud I am, I his my woody under the bedsheets. She tried to seduce me I think, but since I'm DDP's best friend, I won't do it. Anyways, as I was walking out, all these dumb assed Marks wanted Kims autograph... and they wondered who the hell I was, can you believe that, I thought everyone knew that RichinKC was a friend of the DDP's. Anyways, I finally met DDP and he ditched me and left me with some other wrestling friends of his...that's actually good, these new guys didn't already know that I was a loser. All in all, it was a good NITRO, cause I know DDP, and DDP knows me. Oh yeah, by the way, if any of you common folk get invited, go to DDP's Christmas party. DDP snuck me into his house at last year's Christmas party and I had a blast in the washroom(DDP didn't want the rest of the guests to know that he(DDP) knew a troll like me, so I had to stay in the washroom). I plan to go again this year, I found my invitation in DDP's trash can the other day. Till Kimberly stops calling my house and when I get a life...I'm RichINKC" I think Rich just wants to let everyone know as often as possible that he knows DDP...big DEAL.
That's it for this update...on the 12th of December. Later folks.

Chris Farley
R.I.P.
Like I said before, I really hate doing these damned In Memory things. Although, I don't know much about this man or the circumstances surrounding Chris Farley, I do know that when he was with Saturday Night Live, he was one of the funnier actors on the show...defenitely better then the jokers they have on now. It's a shame really, that so many actors with so much going for them always find a way to screw up their lives...it's fairly common knowledge that Farley was into drugs and a pretty heavy drinker...I'll never understand why people even take drugs in the first place. Although Farley's death was not drug related, his previous drug use may have sped up the process. That's all I gotta say about this.
Rrriiiggggghhttt, onto wrestling. I got so much I wanna cover and such a bad memory. First off, sometime earlier in this month, Shawn Michaels and Hunter Hearst Helmsley were involved in a near riot in the Southern parts of the US of A. It seems that on TWO consecutive nights, when the WWF was touring in Memphis and Little Rock, the brillant, in no damn F'N way a bunch of goddam redneck animal barn raping fans(Having decided that they needed to give mainstream media another reason to look down on wrestling) began to whip all their garbage(ie cups filled with tabacco spit, beer, spare change) at DX, with one of the objects beaning HHH inbetween the eyes, after this display of respect and intelligence(of which we all know the rednecks are loaded with), Shawn Michaels took the mic and basically told the fans that that hit just cost them the main event, and they promptly left the arena. At the Memphis show, Jerry Lawler came out and pleaded with the fans to act like human beings for ONCE IN THEIR NO GOOD REDNECK LIVES!!!!...those university graduates fans in attendance(and we all know that the south is fulla university educated rednecks) began to whip their garbage at Jerry Lawler. It may not seem like such a big deal to anyone else, BUT IN MEMPHIS, JERRY LAWLER IS WRESTLING!!!! He made it there, Lawler is USWA wrestling, all the big names(Hogan, Savage, Bret Hart, Shawn Micheals, Curt Hennig, Scott Hall, Owen Hart) have spent time in USWA and one way or another, Lawler has BEATEN them all. Is this how those faggots in Memphis show respect to the man who made wrestling there???
Anyways, after Lawler got showered with their appreciative garbage, the show ended..and the fans, seeing the error of the WWF ways for walking out on them began to boo, chant WCW, set chairs on fire and damn well nearly start a riot. Several of these fans then went on the Internet and called Shawn Michaels a primadonna who couldn't take it, and URGED all the fans to boycott the WWF, saying that for the amount of money the WWF wrestlers get paid, they should just stand there and thank the fans for endangering their careers by pelting them with whatever they could find. I'm totally in agreement with this briallant redneck animal lover. So what if a wrestler could slip on a spilled drink, blow out his knee and end his career, once the fan pays the ticket, IT'S HIS JOB TO BE AN ASSHOLE...so what if a fan whips a penny, nails someone in the eye and blinds him or her in that eye...and if it should be a fan that gets hit, well, serves those fools right, they shouldn't have gotten in the way of a fast moving penny...as long as it's not me getting hurt or I'll sue. I mean, I'm sure lots of doctors, teachers, nurses, business people, store owners put up with this everyday. I know whenever I order a anything at a restaurant, I whip all my garbage at the waiter before I even let him bring me any water, and if he dosen't stand there and take my dirty banana peels, my half empty glass of Pepsi, my spare change, then I'm walking out, cause he isn't doing his job.
Look, you damned rednecks, NO ONE is going to stand there while you whip your shit at them, how would you like it if I showed up where you work and just started chucking stuff at you, just because I damn well felt like it???? and if you don't like the way I do business, I'll just buy my stuff somewhere where they like to have stuff chucked at them. Now, I'm sure many of you who actually bother to read my views know that I'm not a huge Shawn Michaels fan, BUT, I have to say, my respect for HBK went up a notch or two after he showed the GUTS to walk out on these ungrateful redneck swine. I just wish that someone from WCW had the balls to do this when they get pelted...if someone from the NWO just took the mic and said "To hell with this bullshit, you fans are a buncha faggots, we're outta here", I'd gain infinite respect for WCW if that became their policy. For these "fans" to actually put the blame on Shawn Michaels and the WWF...it's just mind boggling...what do you readers think about this crap???? Mail me at [email protected]. You know what's really funny, on most news broadcats, wrestling gets dickall air time, but when this near riot broke out, it got air time plus some. All TRUE fans know that pro wrestling gets a little less respect then nose picking, wrestling fans are considered as a buncha dumbass retards who really think it's all real and who have the collective IQ of -700, so why do you people give them a reason and a chance to burn us all???? Like they didn't have enough already, why give them more material to work with??? To you Memphis and Little Rock, Arkasas people, think about that the next time your going for a late night visit to the animal barn.
Well, that was quite a bit I wanted to "shoot" about. Now onto WCW, Starcade, the most hyped matched of the year, Hollywood Hogan Vs. Sting for the main event. WHAT THE HELL????? WCW hypes this match for the whole year...and a screw job happens. Sting gets cleanly pinned for the 1-2-3 by Hogan after the legdrop and Bret Hart restarts the match and Hogan then submits to Sting via the Scorpion Deathlock. OK, not only does Hogan get his first CLEAN pin, no outside help since the NWO started, but he does it on Sting, the man that was supposed to strike fear in the NWO. Help me out here Bitchoff, Sting can't even beat Hogan cleanly???? Why does Bret have the ability to restart a match after Hogan won it fair???? I'm no fan of Hogan, hell, this is the first time he's wrestled since...the coming of christ, but the fact remains, he beat Sting in the ring(hey, that rhymes) If that's the best Sting can do, then he's nothing but a paper champ.
As a sort of filler paragraph, I was reading a Bret Hart interview and he said that Kevin Nash wrestled his best match when he wrestled as Diesel in the WWF against, guess who, Bret Hart. I saw one of those Bret Hart Vs. Diesel matches and I don't really remember anything special. It was your typical Bret Hart match against a big man. Bret went after the Diesel's leg for almost the whole match. The match I remember most with Kevin Nash is at Wrestlemania 11, Shawn Michaels Vs. Diesel for the WWF Heavyweight Title...that was one helluva match. That Wrestlemania 11 match and Randy Savage Vs. Ricky Steamboat at Wrestlemania 3 are the two matches I remember the most.
Now, since this is going to be my Last view....of 1997(I had some of you worried there didn't I???, yeah right, you people could give a rats ass about this site...you ungrateful bastards), I thought I'd close it with the Top Ten Good Happenings in wrestling during 1997(I don't expect many of you to agree with me, so if you have one that you really think belongs here, mail me), here goes:
10)
The emergence of Ken Shamrock into the world of wrestling. I know many people don't like him, but believe you me, he WILL be a force in this business someday.
9)
Rocky Maivia turning heel. This man was getting nowhere as a face, but now as a heel, he's given the chance to talk on the mic, which has made him one of the most hated heels out there.
8)
The LightHeavyweight division being put together in the WWF. This would probably been higher if the division actually had more wrestlers in it. TAKA Michinoku can only face "Too Sexy" Brian Christopher so many times before it gets old. I womn't even mention how shitty Scott Putski is...the only way he could ever draw crowd heat was if he was set on fire.
7)
The WWF adding the European Title...this title could be potentially as important as the Intercontinental Title...if it only got defended once in awhile.
6)
The WWF/ECW alliance...this would be in the top five, if it actually lasted past a month. Basically, both the owners of ECW and WWF refused to allow any of their own wrestlers to job to the other fed, thus killing an angle that could have possibly been the angle to put the WWF ahead of WCW...dumb, dumb,dumb.
5)
The Formation of the New Hart foundation. This had the potential to become the elite stable in wrestling history. You had the power in the Bulldog, two awesome technical wrestlers in Owen and Bret Hart, and a designated jobber in Anvil. Too bad it got broken up before it had a chance to do anything.
4)
The surprising popularity rise of Steve Austin. Who can ever forget that he started off as the laughable Ringmaster and that he lost to Savio Vega..on more then TWO occasions. Now, he's the most popular wreslter out there, with the possible exception of Sting. His Austin 3:16 shirt outselling any other wrestling shirt in history.
3)
Undertaker finally getting to hold the WWF Heavyweight belt for more then a week. This man is without a doubt one of the most loyal people out there...he's been screwed over way more then Bret Hart ever was and he never complained once. His matches are always entertaining and I just enjoy his gimmick.
2)
The rating wars between WCW and WWF. This war to outdo each other for the viewing audince provided wrestling fans with one of the most entertaining Monday in a long time. Both shows had to pull all the stops in order to lure fans away from the competition, ultimately the winner here is the fans.
1)
Drumroll Please. The Absolute best thing to happen to wrestling during 1997 was...THE Emergence of V1's WWF World. Hard to believe that this site is already a year old. Look for this site to only improve during 1998. It's already the talk of the internet.(Yeah right)
OK, that was kinda a screw job number 1, so here's a possible replacement for number 1, although I can't imagine anything more important than V1's WWF World. The second choice for number one is The Formation of the NWO. Without a question, the NWO formed the direction of wrestling in 1997. The NWO was the ruling stable in WCW. The NWO signaled the heel turn of Hogan, and it basically helped WCW kick WWF's ass in the TV ratings week after week. The WWF pretty much formed the N.O.D. as a counter for the NWO, when that didn't work, they tried to form an ECW/WWF alliance to fight back in the ratings, when that didn't work, they formed DX...a group that tries to act more idiotic then the NWO in order to win the ratings. Will it work, will the WWF ever pull outta second place??? I guess we'll have to wait till 1998.
With that being said, see y'all later and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!
