Before I start rapping, I would like to state that free speech in this country has taken a MAJOR blow. If you ever wanted to say what you think to anyone about anything, you better be prepared to fight to the death cause they will CRUCIFY YOU! If you don't believe me, ask Rush Limbaugh. And if Donovon McNabb doesn't have a winning season or make the playoffs, we conservatives will be demanding apologies from all these liberal sportswriters. The Crimefighter has his nightstick ready to defend himself from anyone who tries to crucify me, cause bustin' ain't easy! Speaking of people blasting those who speak their mind...

"The Gunslinger" who represents Pipervision decided to get all mad and obnoxious at me following a review of a GIWA match in Streaming Video Review #11 and posted the following:

CF: "Ahem...I have watched pro wrestling since Wrestlemania One and heck no I wouldn't want to become a pro wrestler."

GS: "'I've watched all the WrestleMania's' bhahhahahahhahahahahhahahahhaha Little man do you even have enough money to purchase (not rent) all the WrestleMania's?"

Gunslinger makes two grand assumptions, one that I've watched EVERY Wrestlemania (WRONG) and I do this as my primary source of income. I never claimed to have seen every Wrestlemania, I said I started watching wrestling since Wrestlemania One which refers to the point in TIME when I started watching, not WHAT I've watched since then. Thus, I started watching in 1985 or so. Secondly, I write these sheets AS A HOBBY. He doesn't have a clue who I am or what I do for a living but that doesn't stop him from making big assumptions. And to be blunt, I'll bet he's NEVER used a firearm and the only thing he's ever shot off is his mouth, which would make him the "Tongueslinger". Moving on to another stupid comment:

GS: "You can't even afford a real hosting company. You have to use tripod???!?? If you want people to take anything you say seriously, you first have to take yourself serious and putting a site up at tripod isn't the first step in that direction."

So what if I'm using Tripod? Why should I pay for web page space when I can get it for free instead of paying so many bucks a month? It's a WASTE of money. The only reason that I should pay for webpage space is if I was running a commercial business and sell products through the Internet, which I don't. And I could get some space from my ISP for free because I am a subscriber, but the downside is if I change ISPs, I lose the space and I have to go around and update the links on every search engine I am listed with. And THAT is a royal pain in the arse. I've had to do that at least twice, first with the greatly despised Geocities of the infamous superimposed branding logos that you see on EVERY TV channel now, then with NBCi that bought out XOOM then closed it down cause they apparently didn't know what they got themselves into buying the company in the first place. And all my reports go to the Usenet newsgroup rec.sport.pro-wrestling.info which brings me to the next dumb thing he said:

GS: "Uh...hey buddy...you have 97 hits...TOTAL!!! I'll let you look up what HITS are on the internet. (HINT) They are not the number of people that have looked at your site. You yourself could cause 97 hits on 1 website a day."

I just put the counter on the site recently so of course it's going to be a low number, and the counter is set up in a way where it only counts one visit per session, not by how many times you hit the reload button. But that's besides the point, because I post all the reports to the wrestling newsgroups and the websites of the promotions I review the shows on, where they can be read and the Rap Sheet Dossier is merely an archival site. And I don't expect high traffic because the site is geared toward readers in the central Illinois area, not a national audience!

GS: "I noticed....after seeing Mr. T you became a wrestling fan? BHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH - nuff said!"

And just what made you start watching? The WWF has used the celebrity tie-in for years and it's snagged in more than a few people, that cannot be denied otherwise the WWF wouldn't do it. And finally the last stupid comment:

GS: "Do me a favor, save yourself from future embarrassement and close your website immediatly---your the reason that web designers are having a hard time finding work, because people think you actually pay someone to put that thing together."

I WORK in the information technology field, people seek MY ASSISTANCE with end user problems and the problems get fixed. I don't NEED a web designer. Lastly, take a look at this list and see that there's a number of wrestlers and promotions that are using places like Tripod: http://www.1wrestling.com/columns/web/default.asp?B1=View+Column By the way, I don't give a XXXX'in XXXX if you don't like the appearance of the page. Why should I put up a graphics/java intensive site for some hot-headed jackarse that has his six-shooter jammed up way up his pie-hole the way HE thinks it's supposed to look? I won't, cause I don't want to and I don't NEED to. It serves it's function and it functions the exact way I want it to.

It continued from there, "Tongueslinger" shoots off his mouth and challenges me to a wrestling match but any matches with me or anyone else will have to stay as a war of words cause I have no desire to be a wrestler. Another individual has a personal problem with ANYONE who reviews a match good or bad cause he wants to judge for himself. Well then, WHY THE FREAKIN' HECK ARE YOU GOING OUT AND READING WHAT OTHER PEOPLE SAY??? Hey, Vince McMahon pretty much does the same thing, ignores reviews...and cause he's not paying any attention as to what many are saying are the problems with the WWE booking the shows are getting worse and worse and the buyrates smaller and smaller, but Vince sits there completely clueless as to why attendance is lower and lower. The big hole in his complaint though is that HE'S ALREADY SEEN THE MATCH FIRST BEFORE READING THE REVIEW! So he ALREADY KNOWS what to think about what he saw. So the problem really is that he has a problem with someone who watched the same stuff he did and didn't like the reactions of the other viewer! But the real message is this, if you're gonna review something and didn't like what you saw, if you post a negative review to where the person's match was held, you're gonna get blasted, fairly or unfairly. The idea of getting any publicity at all good or bad is lost upon these people.

More videos are showing up for me to download, even if it is from just a couple of sites and it's all WWF and WCW videos. I shall soon start reviewing matches offered on www.clickwrestle.com which is a site that offers matches for download either streamed for free or $2 for downloading to a file. I have resisted doing reviews of the matches there cause the first one I tried to view had the bit rate at 512K which is higher than DSL can handle without frequent pausing for the buffer.

GIWA Heavyweight Championship - Cage Match
"Platinum Playboy" Preston Paradise 220lbs. Jacksonville, FL w/ Precious Platinum & Big Bank Barfield vs. Mad Mac Davis 205lbs. Lubbock, GA w/ Firewalker - This match was filmed by the Pipervision company on 9/27, though Pipervision on the web is now defunct. PPPP of course is slow to get in the cage and Davis finally jumps out of the cage and chases him inside, but PPPP locks himself in and kicks the cage to keep Davis from climbing up the side. One kick knocks him off and he messes up his knee. Firewalker checks on him as PPPP mocks Davis, then exits the cage and heads toward Davis. Whoops, he was playing possum all along. Davis attacks PPPP and throws him back in the cage and we finally start the match. PPPP kicks back, arm wringer, clothesline, elbow.

Davis slugs away, PPPP catches him in a side rib breaker. PPPP with a leg choke, then a hand choke. PPPP walks around to pose, pickup, takedown, hey Davis is handcuffed to the bottom rope! PPPP is on the top rope but does not leave the cage and goes to stomp on Davis some more. PPPP just takes his time, now climbs to the top rope again, has one foot over but he STOPS AGAIN! PPPP drops down and hits Davis with a chair and kicks away. PPPP climbs up again, Big Bank tries to climb up the cage, PPPP argues with Firewalker then drops down into the ring again. Guess he doesn't want to win that bad. Davis is free, where'd he get a key? Spear Davis. Tarp is all torn up in the middle of the ring. PPPP gets back up and clobbers Davis in the corner like a boxer, uppercut. PPPP mocks him, Davis goes low uses the cuffs as a weapon then locks PPPP on the bottom rope. Davis has the chair and whacks him with it. Davis makes sure he can't get free, take the chair, stands over him then throws it down. Davis heads for the door, PPPP has gotten free somehow, charges with the chair but Davis throws a forearm and knocks him out and drops to the floor for the win and the title. Davis says something on the house mike, PPPP throws the ref into the fence and Davis and PPPP have another brawl on the outside. The faces come in the cage and celebrate the title win. Replay of the finish is shown from another angle. This appeared to be a lot better than their previous cage match.

WINNER and NEW CHAMP: Mad Mac Davis KO -> 20:55 mins. **¾

That’s all the indy stuff I have this time, so let’s go to the plethora of streaming videos from the WWF. First up, a couple of matches a new site I've found, and it has a lot at http://www.btinternet.com/~ogeese_classics/wwf_wcw_classics.html with shockingly a whole PPV from last year and a bunch of old WWF promos.

One Man Gang w/ Slick vs. Mario Mancini - This was from a Saturday Night's Main Event site from August of 1998. Mancini I don't believe did anything of note in the wrestling business, other than be fodder for super heavyweights. The gang clobbers Mario to the mat, then chokes him on the ropes, and flings him off. OMG drops a big elbow, and slugs some more. Oliver Humperdink cuts a promo against the gang. Knee lift, boot to the face, then OMG finishes him off with the 747 a.k.a. a face first suplex and wins it easily. Total squash.

WINNER: One Man Gang pin -> 1:30 mins. DUD

"Ravishing" Rick Rude w/ Bobby "The Brain" Heenan vs. "The Birdman" Koko B. Ware w/ Frankie - Rude cuts his classic spouting of shut up so the women can see my body crap. This was also from the same Saturday Night's Main Event site. Koko pretty much served as the first major opponent for any debuting wrestler in the WWF in the years he was there. Joined in progress, lockup to the corner, Rude slugs away, elbow to the back and hits him repeatedly in the lower back stopping only to pose. Rude snap suplex, to the top, flying punch then poses for the camera again. Rude chokes Koko on the ropes in front of Frankie. Rude whip dropkick then poses again. Rude whip second drop kick misses, Koko whip back body drop Rude lands on his knees, Koko with a charge and Rude dodges hitting the top rope neck first. Rude with the Rude Awakening inverted neckbreaker and it's over. Total squash.

WINNER: "Ravishing" Rick Rude pin -> 3:05 mins. shown *¼

The Rockers - Marty Jennetty & Shawn Michaels vs. Steve Lombardi & Tom "Rocky" Stone - Lombardi at this time hasn't transformed into the Brooklyn Brawler, and the Rockers were making their WWF television debut a year after they were supposed to appear originally before a mishap kept them stuck in the AWA and in Memphis. Tom Stone was another regular lay-down man for the AWA and WWF, but managed to get one major WWF victory against Jake "The Snake" Roberts albeit by DQ and when Roberts just came back after being blinded by a perfume shot to the eyes. The Rockers for this match were using their AWA music "Rocking Out to Midnight" by Judas Priest. Shawn and Stone start, hammerlock, Stone sends Shawn to his corner to hold by Lombardi and hits his man by mistake. Whip tag Marty flip off Stone, hip toss, Marty arm drag, Steve's in and gets arm dragged and drop kicked out. Stone is slingshotted in, Stone with a rake and a tag Lombardi. Marty armdrag, Lombardi arm wringer, Marty flips off the ropes to get out of it, slam Marty, arm wringer, reversed, reversed again, tag Shawn, double whip double hip toss, double elbow. Stone in and gets slugged. Shawn backbreaker on Lombardi, tag Marty, whip dropkick. Marty whip, back elbow, tag Shawn, double whip double punch. Shawn snap mare, flying punch, elbow, Steve punches back, turnbuckle smash, slam Lombardi, he goes up and gets slammed off. Stone in, Shawn slugs him, tag Marty suplex crossbody combo and it's all over. Another squash but pretty spirited.

Moving on we jump to these offerings that came from http://www.wrestlingzone.ru which are also being rotated out every week.

WWF Heavyweight Championship - Casket Match
(c)Yokozuna w/ Jim Cornette & Mr. Fuji vs. The Undertaker w/ Paul Bearer - Ah this is the infamous match from Royal Rumble 1994 that was deemed the worst match of the year for the looney and unbelievable overbooking that went on during this bout. Yokozuna by the way, had his management write up all the title defense contracts where wrestlers would get their one single title match and never get a rematch after that. Yokozuna just refused to defend his title against the number one contenders and frankly I would had stripped him of the belt and fired his rear to send the message that the champ does not decide his challengers, it's the championship committee that decide the challengers, period. The sad thing is, the president at that time was Gorilla Monsoon who had just taken the place of the clueless moron Jack Tunney. This match, was signed with the stip that this is the ONLY title match the Undertaker will get against Yoko. The 600 pound wuss was terrified of Taker at this time. This is a casket match, the winner must stuff the loser in the box and it's no DQ, no countout, no pinfall. Yoko charges and crashes in the corner, Taker hits three clotheslines then a throat thrust to send him out. Yoko rams Taker into the stairs, Taker no-sells and rams him into the steps. Back in, Taker armwringer, rope walk, flying forearm shot. Taker charges and misses a flying knee. Yoko with a chair, Taker steals it and whacks him in the head. Vince McMahon and Ted Dibiase are doing commentary. Yoko grabs a handful of salt and throws it in the face of Taker. Yoko whacks him with a chair. Headbutt, stair ram, toss in by Yoko, clothesline. Yoko rolls Taker toward the coffin, doesn't quite get him in before Taker gets up and slugs away at him. Yoko with a belly to belly, which Taker shrugs off, and does a chokeslam, barely. Taker whip reverse, Taker with what looked to be a DDT. Taker signals for the coffin to be opened, Taker rolls Yoko toward it and he's in! Crush comes out of nowhere to attack Taker before he closes the lid, forearm shot by Taker sends him out of the ring. Two Japanese guys come in to attack next, Taker double clotheslines them down. Bam Bam Biglow tries his hand next, but now the four thugs quadruple team Taker. Mr. Fuji and Paul Bearer fight over the urn, and he clocks Fuji and Cornette with it. Yoko is out of the coffin, now Adam Bomb has joined the army along with Jeff Jerrett and it's six on one. The Samoan Swat Team are in the ring joining the brawl and it's EIGHT on one. Note that NO ONE has come to the aid of the Taker. The heels have beaten down Taker and force him into the coffin but he fights out. Yoko KO's Paul Bearer and steals the urn, he opens it, green smoke billows out. Crush suplexes Taker, Jerrett with a flying forearm shot, Bam Bam with a flying headbutt, Fatu with a splash off the top, then Samu does one. The heels drag Taker to the coffin and Yoko kicks him in and Bam Bam lays on top and it's over. I would had stripped Yokozuna of the title right there, what a travsity this was. The heels roll the coffin away but smoke comes from it, then Taker appears on the video wall supposedly from inside the coffin. Taker gives a farewall speech, then turns into a "ghost" and the Taker rises up from behind the video wall. I can't rate this myself but I'll note what someone else gave it. Thankfully Bret Hart ended this ridicious title reign of dodging contenders. Remarkably this match was not voted worst of 1994, somehow Steve Austin vs. Jim Duggan got the nod.

WINNER and STILL CHAMP: Yokozuna KO -> 14:05 mins. -****

Giant Gonzalez 450lbs. Argentina w/ Harvey Whippleman vs. The Undertaker 328lbs. Death Valley, CA - This is from Summerslam 1993. Harvey has possession of the urn, and Bobby Heenan says he urned it. I never liked El Gigante as a heel. Taker goes to the attack slugging away, chokes him in the corner. Harvey up to draw him away. Taker eats a boot from Gonzalez, whip clothesline misses, Taker tries a clothesline and he doesn't go down, a third and Taker is floored. Giant throws Taker outside, slugfest, Gonzalez with a rake and a stair ram. The giant fetches a chair and whacks him with it. Wonder who would had won between El Gigante and The Big Show? The giant whips Taker into the stairs. Gonzalez throws him back in, Taker tries to grab the urn but is pulled back. The giant clubs him with forearms, Taker fires back before being knocked down again. Giant whip to the corner, Taker crumples to the mat. Gonzalez drags him away from the urn, Paul Bearer comes out from the back with a black wreath. Harvey removes his jacket, charges and Bearer knocks him out. Taker whip clothesline Gonzalez as Bearer has the urn again. Gonzalez with a slam, sees Bearer and jaws with him until Taker gets up. Taker slugs away, four clotheslines don't take him down, Taker up top for a flying clothesline and that gets the pin. Gonzalez is mad at Harvey for losing the urn, and gives him a chokeslam before putting the black wreath over his body. Gonzalez puts in an appearance in a battle royal at the following RAW then leaves the sport for good. Undertaker has ended more careers than anyone, not by injuring them, but by having just the worst possible match with them and cause he's Taker, he stays and the other guy is always fired. The Wrestlemania 9 match they had prior to this was graded -***, and this feud was voted the worst of 1993.

WINNER: The Undertaker pin -> 8:05 mins. ¼*

Hmmmm...not much of note in the pile I gathered this time around, I basically threw in the short matches I found just to round this thing off and get it out. Next time, a look at some of the offerings at www.clickwrestle.com. Until next time, bustin' ain't easy, but whipping Tongueslinger in a debate is too freakin' easy!
