Although I don't know her and have never met her, it truly was a shocking day when I heard that she had died. I remember what I was doing when I first heard the news. I was settling down to watch a taped Nitro and while I was rewinding the tape I was channel surfing (never did get to finish that Nitro). When I first saw the story, I thought it was bullshit or that they were talking about another Diana. Some people reading this might think I'm a little limp wristed...but the world has really lost a special, if not interesting person. She seemed to really care about the people who weren't as well off as she was. Bottom line is, she will never be forgotten by the masses and she will be sorely missed by the less fortunate.
Well, dammit, school has started again...or in my case University. Will this effect the number of times that I update this page...probably not, I never did update daily, so it shouldn't be a problem to maintain it...I know you people can't live without this site(yeah right).
Anyways, I have to complain about The Patriot also known in some countries as "I'm a jobber, but I wrestle under the US flag". WHATTA HELL IS THIS GUY DOING IN A PPV ALREADY???? Now, I generally try to always look at the good side of the WWF, but in this Bret Hart Vs. Patriot match, there is no good side. Senor Patriot has no business in the ring with Bret, I know that people say that Los Patriotos has been wrestling in Japan for many years...well, I can't see Japan TV, so I wouldn't know, but in my eyes, Patriot is slightly higher then Aldo Montoya. Look at the guys shitty finisher...Uncle Slam...more like Uncle Sham. The sad thing is that since Bret is a heel now, he will probably get his ass kicked around then he'll need a member of the Hart Foundation to bail him out.
Speaking about this US Vs. Canada angle, I must say that I personally don't really like it. Ofcourse Canada is going to win, and if you don't believe me, go rent Canadian Bacon, starring the late great John Candy(R.I.P.). Just joking, seriously, every single time the US has gone against someone in the WWF, the US has always won. Some examples that come to mind are the Iraqis a la Traitor Seargent Slaughter and ofcourse the Iron Sheik, then there was also the Japanese in Yokozuna and Mr. Fugi. There was also the Russians in the Bolsheviks, let's not forget the Finnish in Ludvig Borga or even the French Canadians in Dino Bravo and the Fabulous Rougeaus. Name me one time that the US has not ended up beating the foreign country up and I'll whip your ass for lying to my face. So, naturally, being a Canadian, I'm kinda already annoyed at the obvious outcome, the Hart Foundation is gonna get annilated eventually by the americans. There is already talk of other all americans coming to the aid of the Patriot...such as Mark Henry, the US olympic weight lifter turned pro wrestler.
I wonder why so many damn athletes find it necessary to turn to wrestling after they retire from there normal job??? First off, none of them can wrestler. Kevin Greene, "Mongo" McMichael, Lawrence Taylor, Dennis Rodman all fit into the same categories. There all pro athletes who have turned pro wrestler...oh and they all suck, almost forgot about that one. It really is stupid that a guy like Chris Benoit is passed over by a guy like Mongo. Maybe if Mongo actually had some talent in the ring, it would be different, but the guy sucks so much...he'd be a perfect companion to Syxx.
I still do not understand why in the name of Great Caesars Ghost did Vinman can Sycho Sid. What happens if Sid shows up in WCW??? There goes another top athlete to the enemy fed. Sid was fairly popular...maybe he couldn't pull off a move, but I still think that he should have been kept.
I really wish that Vince would spped up this goddam Undertaker-Kane angle. There has been talks of it being Dan Spivey(some of you may remember him as Waylon Mercy) or it could also be Doomsday(Glen Jacobs, the fake Diesel). I would rather have it being Doomsday, for the simple reason that I kinda liked the Waylon Mercy character and hope that Spivey comes back as Mercy, and not as Kane. I really liked it how just before destroying a jobber, he would shake the refs hand and shake the jobbers hand. I liked his "Southern chivalry" schtick, I remember one thing he said once just after he destroyed a guy, he said in his southern accent "I want to thank all you people for showing up here tonight" I just got a kick outta him saying that, I don't know why. I also liked his song...who couldn't like a song that started with Waylon himself saying "Lives are gonna be in the hands of Waylon Mercy, know whatta I mean." Anyways, back to the UT/Kane thing. I'd settle for it being Jimmy Superfly Snuka, just get the damn angle moving along already.
A quick note on WCW, mannnn, Vince has really got to get Buff Bagwell outta there, he is going nowhere in WCW. If Buff was in the WWF, I could really see him as a heel IC champ or European champ. The more I see of Bagwell, the more I like him. Everything he says is F'N hilarious. He is just too good to be in WCW. I also would like to see a character like Mortis outta WCW, I mean, it's a pretty cool looking costume and the music sounds cool, but Mortis is basically everyones punching bag in WCW. I really have to wonder how a guy like Alex Wright can win two belts in the same month, but Bagwell and Mortis hold nothing right now. Alex Wright is slightly lower then jobber status in mine eyes...he is sub jobber. The guy blows, the only good thing about him is his stupid looking dance. The guy has the shittiest wrestling skills I've seen in awhile. His main offense are those cheap kicks in the corner he uses so much. The only time Alex Wright's name should be in the same sentence as beat is when off is put in there(get it???) It's really stupid what the WCW is doing, they are just loading up there roster with wrestlers, just so that the WWF can't sign them, but the WCW is so stacked that they don't even use half there guys. I won't even talk about there hundred or so mexicans that they show case every week. I know they come cheap, but gimme a break(I'll get in trouble for that one).
I wonder what is up with Syxx. Does he think that just because he has Thug and Syxx PAC written on his tights and because he does the Westside(a rap group) symbol with his hands that he's suddenly cool??? I hate this guy so much, he is so damn gay. Out of all the NWO, most of my hatred is directed toward this punk assed faggot. Hey, if anyone goes to a Nitro taping someday, bring a sign that says "Syxx Swallows" or how about "Syxx PACks fudge" I also really hate, I mean I get sick when ever I see him, I'm talking about Lex Luger...good goddam I hate him. He has so little wresling ability, it amazes me that he can get above jobber status. I hate everything he does. I hate it when he flexes during his entrance, I hate it when he flexes during a match and I hate it when he flexes during an interview. Hey Lex, no one gives a flying fug about your muscles...it dosen't intimidate anyone. At least when Buff flexes, he makes it look funny, he has a personality at least...when Lex does it, he does it to supposedly impress us, gimme a break.
I don't understand it, a faggot nut like Lex Lesbian gets cheered, but Rocky Maivia gets booed. Can you really say with a straight face that Lex has better abilities then Rocky??? Once again, I'd have to whip your ass for lying in my face. It's too bad that Rocky received the shoddy treatment from the fans...he's not that shitty of a wrestler. I must admit that I prefer him as a heel then a face. It was definitely a good move, he was getting booed as a face anyways, so what difference does it make. I've really been impressed by the guy as of late...I also like his new attitude, the way he mocks his oppnents when he has them down. I know I'm going against the views of many wrestling "Smarts", well, they can kiss my left nut. There main complaint I think is because Rocky got the IC belt his first year in the fed...shit, look at The Patriot, he's been in the fed for a few months, and he's getting a HEAVYWEIGHT PUSH!!!! Put yourself in Rocky's shoes for a sec, Vince comes up to you and says, "Hey Rocky, how would you like to be the new IC champ tonight???" Would you really be stupid enough to say "Uh, no thanks Vince...I 'd rather not get this honour and recognition because I'm still too young and inexperienced", shit, you never say Martina Hingis turn down a tennis trophy because she was too young and inexperienced in the pro league. You never heard her say "Well, I just beat the shit outta my opponent, but hell, give her the trophy and winners money", if that happened, they's be institutionalized right there.
Well, that's it for now, on this Sept. 6, 1997. Look for updates eventually.
(Updated Sept. 9, 1997)
Some of you may notice a new feature in my monthy updates, I'm trying to snazz it up a bit with some music, anyways, since I'm doing this at my University with no speakers, could someone E mail me and tell me if the sound works. Thanks.
Well, what'd I say??? Ground Zero, did I not say that Bret can't win cleanly as a heel??? Sure, he got the clean submission on Los Patriot, but the fact remains that The Bulldog helped Bret out and The Patriot had Bret pinned, but the ref was unconcious. It really pisses me off to think that if Bret was still a face, he would have cleaned the arena with Patriot's mask, but as a heel, he wouldn't even be able to beat Jobber The Hutt. Maybe it's the role of the heel to suddenly suck shit...it just gets annoying, here you have the WWF trying to push this Canada Vs. US thing, trying to make us Canadians think that we have a chance, but the only victories we get are with screwjobs. Since the New Hart Foundation formed, how many clean pins have they had??? I have a really hard time trying to think up more then 5 at most.
I'm really wondering when the hell Kane is a gonna show up??? First it was rumoured to be at Summer Slam '97, then at IYH-Ground Zero, but he no showed on em both....gimme a F'N break Vince. First off, no one really cares who it is anymore, after you pulled Rockabilly outta your back pocket. We know not to expect anyone decent, so just get on with it already. Like I said before, I hope that it's Glen Jacobs. One reason is because I kinda liked Jacobs as Diesel, not the ripoff thing, but he still did impress me. He has pretty good size and seems pretty strong, hell, he knows more moves then Kevin Nash does anyways.
No one can defeat Los Boricuas, HUAH!!!....Does anyone really care about Los Boricuas anymore??? Personally, I think that they are a buncha jobbers. I'm surprised that there still around, what I'm more surprised about it that Los Boricuas is the more successful then the DOA. This "warring factions" thing is getting old real fast. Really, the only group that should deserve any success is the NOD. Outta all the "gangs", they have the best talent. Boricuas are jobbers and the DOA haven't really impressed me at all. I don't know what it is about them, they just don't look very good. The NOD is the group that has the most talent...granted Farooq kinda sucks, but Rocky is a future star, D-Lo Brown hasn't been the weak link I thought he was and Papa Shango...I mean Kama Moustafa has always been impressive, since his Voodoo casting days. I hope to see these teams meet at Survivor Series, with the NOD winning...hopefully the other two gangs will disband after that and just leave the NOD as the dominant gang in the WWF.
Boy, I've gone on so long complaining about WWF...it's almost like I'm siding with WCW. Well, I have to admit one thing...the NWO spoof of the Arn Anderson retirement speech was hilarious. I liked how when ever anyone said a word, Syxx would say "Whooo" and his little Ric Flair dance looked pretty funny too. The best was when Nash came out, holding that beer cooler...the makeup was Too Sweeeeet too. Other then the spoof though, it goes downhill from there. Kinda sad how the best part of a wrestling show is when there not wrestling....but then again, the main NWO guys never wrestling...hell, they probably don't remember the "difference between a wrist watch and a wrist lock". I have one question for all the people out there...is the WCW Tag Team and Heavyweight belt still in existance???? They seem to have dropped off the face of the earth, or maybe Eric lost the belts during his homo visits with the NWO.
I'm getting sick of seeing all these lame assed jobber mexicans jumping around and flying around in the ring. Sure they can do the moves and all, but c'mon, give us a story on them. One day there a heel, the next day, there the super face. WHATTA HELL IS GOING ON HERE BITCHOFF???? None of the mexicans are in a legit angle...sure, Rey Mysterio jr. is kinda in a feud with Konan, but other then those two, the rest are just on the show to pay for there Tequila and Burritos. Sure, people say there impressed by the mexican hurricana, plancha, asai moonsaults and whatever the hell else is out there, but given the chance to see Brian Christopher or a truckload of mexicans in space costumes, I'd rather see Christopher anyday. Sure Christopher dosen't do those flying moves, but atleast I know that Christopher is a heel...not only that, but does anyone out there really think the Corkscrew Plancha of Hector Garza is really that impressive???? I think Christopher's backward DDT looks way better. I hope the WWF dosen't screw up there lightweight division like the WCW did to their cruiserweight division. The WWF has some very good guys already, Taka Michi...whatever is already better than any WCW mexican, except maybe Rey Mysterio. Along with Christopher, Putski, and Sasuke, now they just need to reinforce their ranks a bit more and they should be set for one helluva division.

This commentary by Peter Medina
Bagwell in that all too familiar flex.
In one of the updates this month, V1 mentioned something about "Buff" Bagwell and that he shouldn't be in WCW etc. I totally agree with him. Vin Man could use someone like Bagwell in the WWF. I remember first seeing Bagwell in action on Nitro with tag partner "Flash" Norton beating on some jobber tag team. I admit it was the funniest thing I've ever seen! All of Bagwell's antics and gestures were too damn funny. His cockiness and comedic skills combined make one hell of an entertainer and wrestler. Bagwell has got great wrestling ability... his drop kicks just tear off some heads! The other things that make him entertaining to watch is: obviously the flexing he does cause he makes Luger look like a joke, the stuff he says in the ring like "Whoa look at the air time on that!" or "I am so incredible!" or the up close and personal one on one with the camera and he fixes his goatee and goes "whoo". That's it from me today, catch ya laters!
(Updated September 18, 1997)
Son of the bitch...I can't believe that THE HEABANGERS WON THE TAG TITLES!!!!! How the hell does that happen???? Now, I'll admit, the Headbangers are one of the tag teams that I like, but gimme a break. Just a couple of nights before they won the belts, they were still jobbing to the likes of The Godwinns. Other then the time they won the tag team belts, when was the last time they actually won a match???? Now, I'm not a big fan of the LOD, but I think they should win the belts very soon. Atleast LOD can job the Godwinns in pretty short time. The 'bangers are probably the worst tag champs out of the last ten champs. People will disagree with that, they'll say stuff like "Oh, but there cool" or "They work well together", but bottom line is, Furnas and Lafon have a better winning record, and y'all know how I feel about those guys.
Chalk up another injury to the WWF with Scott Putski. What is with these damned injuries that the WWF keeps racking up???? I gave my take on it last month, and I stand by it. Although, this time, I don't think it was because Scott Putski got overworked...since he dosen't do that many shows. Luckily for the WWF, Scott so far hasn't been a very good draw...hell, he kinda sucks even. Give me "Too Sexy" Brian Christopher over Putski any day. I was reading a little article where Scott's wife Missy Hyatt said that Brian Christopher "should learn how to wrestle". I think that "The Walking Riot" should just keep to looking good. Brian injured Putski when he attempted a slingshot outta the ring at IYH:Ground Zero. It's not the first time Brian has done that move though, and each time, the other guy wasn't badly injured...so, it's obvious that Putski Power landed wrong...not much that Brian Christopher can do to control the way a guy lands. I really do see Brian Christopher as a future star in the WWF. He's one of the best new guys to enter the WWF in the last couple of years. I mean Rocky Maivia is OK, not as good though, and he's already had an IC belt.
I'm probably one of the few wrestling fans out there who thinks that wrestling programs in general have gone downhill. I think that it can be totally blamed on the ratings war going on between WWF and WCW. I do realize that the actual wrestling has improved tremendously...since there are no more butt matches...I mean the ones where you have a total no name agaist a guy. There still are some jobber matches, but at least it's a jobber to the stars(ie Bob Holly) against a pushed guy. The main events and the midcard matches are also much more entertaining now. The reason I'm saying that the programs have gone down is because the shows now try to fill the whole two hours with matches...and nothing else. In the old days, they would at least have a segment dedicated to nothing but interviews...such as Piper's Pit, Barber Shop, Brother Love, Heartbreak Hotel. These interview segments really progressed the angles along. You actually knew what was more or less happening and the big PPV were actually hyped with interviews of wrestlers saying they were gonna destroy each other. Now, because of the need to put as much action in, there aren't any interviews anymore...well, hardly any, only the top draws get to talk, the rest of the guys are stuck without a word at all. This lack of interviews has really impeded the careers of some wrestlers. Leif Cassidy and Flash Funk would probably be doing decent, if they actually got to talk...hence they would actually be in an angle. Now, the two big feds don't really have time to develop angles anymore...they stick with there best ones and use it week after week. The NWO for the WCW and the Canada Vs. USA thing for the WWF. Although, in this department, the WCW is worse then the WWF, they only have the NWO beating on someguy week after week, at least the WWF gives attention to the NOD, DOA, Los Boricuas as well as some other minor angles. While, I do believe that the wrestling has improved over the years, the shows have actually gone down...which is sad, cause the wrestlers of today are defenitely better then from the 80's.
Shopt little ramble on the WCW now. First, I don't like how the NWO continually dominates everyone...they pretty much humiliated the 4 Horsemen. The Horsemen not only lose Curt Hennig(the guy that Arn Anderson INVITED to replace him) to the NWO, Mongo has also lost his belt, Flair is injured. Basically, the WCW and 4 Horsemen have been beaten. Which is pretty stupid, considering that WCW outnumbers the NWO. I guess Bitchoff just goes with the same F'N bullshit week after F'N week and people still tune in like mindless lemmings. I'm not real WCW fan, but I have to ask the WCW fans out there, don't you get tired of Sting/Crow doing dick all???? Don't you get tired of the NWO beating on who ever the hell they please???(Like we don't see that there's going to be interference in there matches) Don't you get tired of Hogan and The Outsiders not defending there titles??? I mean, you can only see The Steiners Vs. The Tag Team of the week for #1 contenders spot for the tag belts only so much, before it gets shitty. Don't you get tired of a new mexican croosing the border in a mask every week????
Another thing about WCW is there entrance music pretty much blows for most of there guys. The NWO music sounds OK, if your into porn music. Guys like Lex Loser, The Giant and Curt Hennig though, they all have the most pathetic music I've ever heard. Little guitar solos...pure balls. From Mr. Perfects cool sounding song in the WWF to Curt Hennig' new lameo song in the WCW. They really need to work on it some. I mean, in the WWF over 80% of there sounds sound good, they work with the wrestler. How does a cheapo little guitar solo go with Lex Lesbian??? or Giant and Hennig for that matter. Steiner Lines just makes me want to puke, American Males sounds like a song for faggots, Chris Jericho's song is a s gay as he is. The only song I really like is Mortis and the 4 Horsemen's song.
