[Critic's Corner] Year in Review By Mike G. ---Ok, first of all, I was going to post this anonymously and wash my hands clean of this bad boy before going out. But, that really isn't my style. So, the poster of this is Mike G.. I handled some characters, ran a fed or two, and like the freedom of speech, or in this case, written word. This is my summary of the top 200 and it's meant to be partly true, partly humorous, partly insane, and definitely carefree. Otherwise, enjoy. [email protected] [P.S. If a name didn't get a write-up, I passed it up for no real reason. If there is bad grammar anywhere or poor editing it simply is because I didn't bother to go through and edit.] =-=-=-=- TOP 200 LIST 2004 Top 200 199) Jeff Keenan [IGA/SCW] 10 -Hmm, works in perhaps the two most poorly wwritten feds ever to grace the scene, that's worthy of the Mr. Irrevelant award. 199) Reverand Gozo Shioda [Hardkore] 10 -A reverend with poor grammar ability, I'm ssure his in-ring work is just as awful. 199) Tobias Chapel Smith [NEO] 10 -His father has an arena named after him, thhis man merely has a chapel. 192) Alex Cross [IGA] 11 -He's no Alex P.

I just have that feeling. 134) �Fast� Eddie Cutlass [VWF] 18 134) Zombie Rogers [MLW] 18 134) Heath Starr [12DT] 18 -Cannot possibly be much worse than Sid Starrr. Of course, watching Sid Starr was like watching old people sodomize rabbits. 126) �The Mercenary� Adam Dunn [ECLW] 19 -A career .237 hitter, needs to improve his plate patience and glovework to become a regular All-Star. 126) Stevie Erickson [MLW] 19 126) Jason Keening [UWF] 19 126) Lonewolf McNeely [SWAT] 19 -Where have I heard of a Lone Wolf before? OOh, that's right ....... but i'm sure you're better than that one, sure, yep, right. 126) The Mercenary [NEO] 19 -With a generic name like this, there shouldd be #1 and #2. Then they can blind tag, roll in and out of the ring at will, you know, like the Conquistadors! 126) Marissa Monet [UWF] 19 126) Omega [WILD] 19 126) Adolph Schmutzhausen [Hardkore] 19 -The self-proclaimed Smuthouse is a force too be reckoned with in the porn industry. 116) The Bloodsucking Editor [MBC/EC] 20 116) Travis Cade [RPW] 20 -A walking billboard as to why mothers shoulld not drink while pregnant. 116) Tommy Creighton [WILD] 20 116) Syrus �The Enforcer� Embers [ECLW] 20 116) Justin Evars [WMW] 20 116) Makoto Jupiter [Hardkore] 20 -I'm really loving the names of these Hardkoore people, in a bad way of course. I think I must get my hands on a few shows for comedic purposes. 116) Damian Payne [IGA/ICWF+] 20 116) "Genocide" Jack Ripper [WILD] 20 -I'll give him this, his roleplays do have tthe ability to kill the masses; that is, if anyone read WILD in the first place. Seeing this guy at 116 is a fucking travesty, even on a fake award thingamagig. 116) Squiggy [NWC] 20 -And no Lenny? Bullshit I say. 116) Vyolynce (#68) [UWF] 20 -Thys guy ys absolutely rulage. Y love the wway he bends the rules of wrytten word and can only wish that he would sing "My Ymmortal" yn MY ear! 114) "Jester" Chad Allen (#142) [IGA] 21 114) "Mockingbird" Nina Grimsson (#92) [UWF/MBC] 21 -Hey, I actually think the Grimmson family aas a whole to be an interesting group of characters. It is odd seeing talent on this list. 113) Ruthless L. Reeve (#192) [SWAT] 22 109) Jaiden Andrews [PWR] 23 109) The Equalizer [VWF] 23 -That bunny is fucking everywhere. 109) Jean Paul Jaubergy [NWC] 23 -Jean Paul < Jean Claude. I think Double Teaam really drives that point home. 109) Marz [SWAT] 23 108) Doug 'Freakin' Mental [TKOW/HPWA] 23 -This soft-spoken, gentle giant has a very ggood head on his shoulders. He is by no means wacky in any sense, trust me on that. 107) Johnny Styles [HPWA] 24 -CATFIGHT! CATFFFFFIGHTT!! Huh? Oh, damn, neext. 105) David Crisp [IGA] 25 105) "The Extremist" Tony Thunder [Hardkore] 25 -Brody's retarded half-brother, proving he wwas no Lone Wolf afterall. He kept Tony in a cage at his summer home. 102) City Jack [PWR] 26 102) "Superstar" Stephanie Harper (#90) [UWF] 26 102) Tamara Sanchez [Hardkore] 26 -She is so dirty, I tell ya. 101) Uriah Hawkins (#61) [UWF] 27 The Top 100... 96) Anthony Alred [IGA] 28 96) Kirk Maclean (#74) [IGA] 28 -The ex-goalie hasn't grasped wrestling as qquickly as he once thought. I suggest going to russia during the strike, or any country that doesn't broadcast in the US. 96) "Dead End" Derek Martin [UWF] 28 -Not a very good moniker when trying to get another to do a program with you. 96) Pure X [PWR] 28 -I must wonder if the X is supposed to standd for something, as in an expletive, like "shit". 96) "Hardkore" Jonnie Valentine (#9) [Hardkore] 28 -More gratuitous use of K for C from the fedd that defines retarded. 94) AWS Man [WMW] 29 -Pales in comparison to his uncle, AKI Man. Those who do not know who AKI Man, go fuck yourselves, seriously. 94) One-Winged Angel (#27) [UWF] 29 90) Chris Courtade [RCW] 30 -I thought he retired pre-2004, bawh! Maybe not. 90) Juvenil Infierno [PWR] 30 -Fired by PWR in late August for habitually showing up late and usually high on angeldust, Juvy got his job back a day later by doing a fantastic job on Todd Michaelson's lawn and shrubbery. 90) "Deadly" Derek Irvin [NEO] 30 -a great character who is so good he still wwas worth a piss even after going to NEO. 90) Madison J. Valentine [RCW] 30 89) "Showtime" Rick Marley [BWA/RCW+] 31 84) "Sweet" Shane Destiny [RCW] 32 -Awww, how cute! He's a cute lil Shane! So ccute! Wait a second? This must be a fucking typo. 84) "Riffmonster" Samuel George [BWA/MBC] 32 -He's no Van Hammer, or whoever the hell wass the guitar-toting in WCW. Any help would be appreciated if I'm wrong with Van Hammer. 84) Werewolf Gregorson [WILD] 32 84) The Icon (#137) [HPWA] 32 -Shouldn't an icon be an icon before adoptinng the name? Until then, his new name is Cumdumpster. 84) "Golden Child" Justin Sayne [NWC] 32 -My favorite roleplay was when the Golden Chhild was forced to eat that oatmeal with the blood in it, only to be saved when Eddie Murphy destroyed the evil Noomse! 83) The Microshocker [Hardkore] 33 -He and The Mini-Fridge are a rather nasty ttag team tearing up the scene. 79) "Smiling Pitbull" Jacen Benedict [UWF] 34 79) Larry Gionet [WILD/IGA] 34 79) Chris O'Brien (#21) [UWF] 34 -I got nothing bad to say about this charactter in fear that the Old Guard will piss and cry and moan for a good six days otherwise. Carry on. 79) Phoenix (#76) [HPWA/TKOW] 34 77) "Last American Badass" Alex Martinez [UWF/RCW] 35 77) Jason Storm [VWF/WILD] 35 -Not a Storm, anything but a Storm. This lasst name in e-wrestling almost instantly declares the character to be a worthless waste of time and space on the page. 73) Calisto Dufresne [PWR] 36 73) Sly Fondell [SWAT] 36 -Better than his first character name, Craftty Pederast. 73) Speedy Irons [IGA] 36 73) Eerie Von [Hardkore] 36 -I'm beginning to love Hardkore the fed moree and more. With names like this how can it not be great! 71) Caliban [UWF/USJP] 38 -Some people get pushed for no good reason aand can even make a career of it [trust me, I know], Caliban is one such character. An awful character who seems to fit UWF well, if you know what i mean. 71) Kai Lewis [KAWF] 38 69) Donna Tetrault [UWF] 40 69) "God's Gift" Jeremiah Vastrix [Hardkore] 40 -Hmm, an almost decent name for Hardkore. Acctually, for Hardkore standards this guy should be champ on name alone. 68) Jean Paul Valley [SCW] 43 64) "Rodeo" Nevada Harris [BWA/NEO] 44 -I seemed to really like his old gimmick, "RReverse Cowgirl" Nevada Harris. 64) Kasady [IGA] 44 -Her DVDA scene in Assault That Ass #43 was to be admired, good job Kas! 64) Papa Legba (#43) [UWF] 44 64) Stan "The Tank" Wilson (#86) [Hardkore] 44 -Frank the Tank! Frank the Tank! We're goin'' streakin'! 63) Doug McCray [WILD] 45 -Come check out WILD! The federation for thoose that could never make it in a big fed because they sputter on the mic and fumble around in the ring! 62) Steve Liermann [IGA] 46 60) Hero (#115) [Hardkore/HPWA] 47 60) �Sex Pistol� Jaime Roberts [WILD] 47 57) Triple B (Big Bad Bill) (#71) [Hardkore/SWAT] 50 -Hmm, where do you start? When would it end?? Triple B! Hardkore! With those two in cahoots with each other it is another type of hardcore I'd be worried about. Hey Peter, watch yer cornhole. 57) Todd Bishop (#148) [IGA] 50 57) The Shootfighter [Hardkore] 50 -Only two behind Scott Daniels? Who filled tthese ballots out? Did anyone? 56) Tuxedo Mask [Hardkore] 51 55) Scott "Hot Spot" Daniels (#13) [UWF] 53 -Legendary character who is saddled with thee fact that he ended up only two ahead of a guy named the Shootfighter. Ridiculous. 54) "Nighthawk" Michael Bonn (#23) [UWF] 54 53) "Epitome of Evil" Serge Annis (#45) [UWF] 55 -Another case of a legend being placed worsee than a guy named Halloween Jack. Wow. 52) "Highlight" Chance McKenzie [BWA/NEO] 58 50) Halloween Jack [IGA] 59 50) Brody Thunder (#34) [SJPW] 59 -Anyone else get the feeling he would have mmade the list even if he was retired all year? 48) "Mr. Excitement" Alex Extreme (#93) [UWF/RCW] 60 48) "Violent" Victor Frost (#89) [UWF] 60 -Bring back Otto already, seriously. 47) LezKanic [KAWF] 60 -A decent middle reliever turned wrestler. WWhat Curt? Did you really think we wouldn't figure out the wacky name change? Silly you, I say! 43) Mark Davenport (#87) [IGA] 64 43) El Savaje [WILD] 64 43) Johnny Sledge [BWA] 64 -Reminds me way too much of Johnny Grunge. TThat is never a good thing. 43) Adrian Tanner, Jr. (#45) [SWAT] 64 41) Ktulu (#3) [NEO] 65 -Lovecraft would roll in his grave if he saww this character in action. And yes, I know it isn't spelled the same, but the similarities are there. 41) Siberian Experiment [IGA] 65 -So many creative names on this list, makes me think I would have been just fine making Poo Boy a few years back. 40) Axel Reed [IGA/WILD] 66 39) Syberus (#38) [SWAT/WMW+] 67 -Hmm, I find this funnier than most simply bbecause there is a very seedy "Lounge Inn" outside the city called the Syberus. I doubt you can get a hummer at his residence, unfortunately. 37) Trent Davidson [NEO] 69 37) "Cool Hand" Luke Kinsey (#16) [RCW] 69 -Not as good as the movie he shares a likeneess with. However, his cow tipping turns to cow fucking roleplay is quite classic. Maybe someday I'll write about the night I found Kinsey and Vasquez sodmizing a dead camel. True story. 35) Kilroy Evans (#50) [Hardkore/HPWA] 70 35) Stetzer Van Strife (#91) [WILD/BWA+] 70 -The evil twin of Setzer Van Strife, it mustt be because the SVS I know wouldn't whore himself to Shitville, USAWILD. 34) �Dirty� Doug Simpkins [WILD] 72 33) Quinn Brown (#12) [UWF] 73 -I offer my condolences to all those that fiinished behind Quinn Brown. This may be the single worst character in the history of e-wrestling, not just our circle of the game. Fucking atrocious and his roleplays have been known to cause blindness. 32) �Tigerheart� Rally Jackson (#7) [Hardkore/USJP] 76 -Oh how I wish he was named Tigerbeat. He'd be pop idolicious! 31) Scott Stylez [IGA] 76 -Much like the name Storm, Styles/z in any fform can be hazardous to your career. [See Rick/Paul/and now, Scott] 30) Arron Iron [WILD] 79 29) Mark Pure [WILD] 85 28) Psicopa (#6) [NEO] 91 -A rather fun character who can sometimes bee long-winded in his roleplays. One of, and one of the only, bright spots in this overrated federation. 26) Despair (#40) [WILD/NEO] 92 26) Paul Soutter (#58) [Hardkore] 92 The Top 25... 25) "Agony" Michael Augustine (#14) [UWF] 93 -A once great character who should have beenn put on the backburner two years ago. In fact, the entire fed should have been destroyed two years ago, but yeah. 24) Walking Contradiction "Sabbath (#184) [USJP/UWF+] -If this was Sabbath's coming out year, I hoope his parents took it well. 23) Lark Fenriz (#145) [WILD/TBNT+] 96 -I tend to call this man the new Jack Vars. If anyone gets this joke, welcome to the Old Folks home for e-wrestling! From what I've read he is a decent character who needs to pick a single organization and stick with it. 22) Tommy "The Dark Heart" Rowlands [IGA] 100 -Don't really know shit about this characterr, so I'll just let him go. He is in IGA though, so he's either not very good or just doesn't know the right fed to be in. 20) Death Gojira [Hardkore] 103 -His match with Mecha Death Gojira and Mothrra was an instant classic. 20) Lazz Sterling (#163) [IGA] 103 -Another IGA creation I know nothing about. So, next. 19) "El Cholo"Juan Vasquez [RCW] 104 -Should be #1, kind of by default of a lack of other powerhouses, but nonetheless. Although the previous rundown of his year is rather inaccurate, this former baggage boy is a very solid character, one of the best to come along in a while. Too bad the handler is Chinese, and I hate yellow people. 18) Roland Dean [IGA/NEO] 105 -"The Mystic" is a rather interesting monikeer, one I haven't seen yet, which is something to be impressed with as small as it may seem. If he survived the one-two punch of IGA and NEO he must have some sort of willpower and determination. I might have to check this character out. 17) Cobryn (#4) [Hardkore] 109 -He beat Adrian Tanner, who as we all know, is the son of Danny Tanner. And anyone who can take out the son of Danny Tanner must be worthy of a spot in the top 25. 16) "Doomsayer"Kyle Lee (#19) [UWF] 110 -Not another Legend Killer. Please God no, nnot another. At least Courtade killed legends, though, I'll give him that. This guy won the UWF title, that is pedestrian. 15) Travis LaGrange [WILD] 112 -Haven't read him in a while, but from what I recall he was good on the mic until he reaches the six minute mark, where the fans slowly fall asleep. This guy talks more than black man at a barber shop. 14) Vile Vince Viper (#37) [KAWF/USJP+] 113 -A fucking catastrophe. This guy is one of tthe single worst characters in e-wrestling history. He is right up there with Rick Styles, Jack Ripper, Quinn Brown, and Al E. Gator; so what does that say about this year in e-wrestling? Quite a bit. He makes trailer trash seem like royalty. 13) "The Savior" Jamie Underwood [UWF/DWO+] 120 -EW4 AND Underwood together?! Where are the blue pills?! I need the blue pills! Please, someone! Make the pain go away! 12) Steve Greedy (#67) [IGA] 122 -This is about the 5th IGA character who hadd the "year of his career". Now, that seems to beg the question that if almost everyone on the roster had a career year, who the fuck lost? Did they just fight Steve Lombardi all year long? Something doesn't add up. 11) Robert Hunglestien III (#11) [Hardkore/SWAT] 133 -How can someone named Robert Hunglestien NOOT be in a fed called Hardkore? I demand a RHIII/Mr. Excitement Dropkick feud immediately! 10) Justin Slayne [WILD] 141 -M.F.B.P, eh? Since it definitely cannot meaan what people demand it is, we must think of something new for him to use in the good ole year of 2005. Lets go smarky, shall we? How about May Fondle Bren's Penis? Ooooh, or May Fuck Baby Poontang. There, take your pick, either will be an improvement. 9) Hannibal Carver (#10) [NEO/RCW] 144 -Another fantastic character who seemed to bbe more of an indy hero rather than a big worldwide name. Some characters are just better that way, and it was nice to see him stick to what worked best for him. 8) Sid Starr (#32) [WILD] 153 -It was nice to see that 2004 finally answerred Sid's big question, who is his real father? Was it ex-Green Bay legend Bart Starr? Or rock legend Ringo Starr? The tests came back, and the father ended up being Ringo afterall. Ringo replied with a dejected "Bloody Pissah" or whatever the fuck you crafty tooth-poor Englishfolk say. 7) Adam Mitchell [WILD] 157 -One notch below Vince Viper on the Shit-O-MMeter, this guy has one mode, and one mode only: angry. No matter the situation, he becomes enraged. It leads to nonsensical no selling, ridiculous promos, and many folks in tears of laughter while perusing one of his matches. This guy gives the mentally challenged a bad name. 6) Spikyjim [WILD/NEO+] 158 -Spike lives, eh? Well fuck me. 5) "The True Legend" Buddy Drifter [IGA] 159 -Buddy Drifter did a great promo in his _hott_ boy-on-boy scene in the hit movie Fire In The Hole. ...uh, no, I didn't actually watch it! I read a review! 4) Hayden Grayson (#130) [KAWF] 163 -He feuded with VVV, which means he gets a MMedal of Valor. Other than that, don't know much about him and quite frankly can't say I care to learn more. 3) Edmond Winston IV (#2) [UWF] 168 -Right up there with Caliban in the bin of ""Characters who blow so much ass that only UWF will push them". Other characters in the bin include Quinn Brown, Vyolynce, Tigress, Erin McCoys, Kyle Backwood, and Chase Hunter. Overrated is an understatement, and hopefully a debilitating injury will cripple this clown sometime in '05. 2) Cyril Lesley (#45) [IGA/TNBT] 196 -He is considered underrated in the previouss write-up, but that is just horseshit. nobody can be underrated in an era where everybody is inherently overrated due to the lack of creative writers left in the hobby. He's overrated, too, I'm sure, as shown by his rating here on the 200. Leave the term underrated for people who actually have been looked over by people with sight problems. 1) Tommy Danger (#31) [IGA/UKWA] 266 -And here is the confirmation: either this iis the worst year in e-wrestling history or the people who voted are retarded. My guess? A little bit of both. Lets face it, people want to deny the fact that e-w is slowly dying by saying there are many great feds out there left. The problem is that when you ask them which feds they refer to they give a list that is about five feds long and about one fed deep in terms of feds with decent writers. I'll be honest, tommy Danger is a good character handled by a good writer. Good. Not great, not mind-blowing, but good. Danger is no Gremlin, he's no courtade, he's no Thunder, and he's no Hardin. In fact, he's not even of the quality of an IIWF, EMWC, LWC, GLCW, RCW, etc etc type midcarder. But, yeah, congrats or something. Let us just hope this new year brings better talent to the scene, or this hobby is fucking dead. Oh, and I really have to end with something about Frank Demola. Stop writing, please. Your opinions make my opinions look like modern fucking art. Please go away, please God go the fuck away. Thank you. Have an interesting perspective on the wrestling world?
