    FLOSLAM/WWN HAS OFFICIALLY HIT TIRE FIRE THREAD STATUS

    in FEDS JUST TRYING TO MAKE A BUCK

    Posted

    I tried to cancel my annual Floslam/Flosports. I have been with them since January 9th. Because I ordered through ROKU I was told I have to go through them to get the refund. Problem is I cannot understand any of them. I was on the phone for 90 mins Friday night and they are closed over the weekend so I have to try again tomm.  Makes me question ever doing an annual membership with anything ever again.

    I apologize if this has been asked/answered  but is the G1 going to have English commentary for all dates? Does anyone know if it did for 2016? Thanks in advance for any help.

    Mine worked pretty good. It's kind of annoying difficult to just watch a full show though. You have to skip past the post and pre interviews etc.  It's still easily worth the $$$ especially with G1 season ahead.

    Chris was the kind of guy who would give a fan a free shirt or free DVD just to see them smile. There is a reason why all of these wrestlers are paying such great tribute to him. It's not just that he always paid them it's that he treated everyone with respect. He really took Cleveland wrestling to a whole new level and brought national spotlight to an area that never was known for wrestling. Promoters like him are a very rare breed.

    This is just a fraction of my timeline today. There's a level of respect shown akin to when Dusty Rhodes and Roddy Piper left us. 

    I've known Chris since he was just a fan coming to shows and heckling the guys.  Watch some old Capw (cleveland all pro wrestling) and you can hear and see him all over the shows.  The guy loved wrestling and it was his life.  A lot of people talked down on him and Thorne for being fans who have money and ended up running a promotion. They would often go to the bars and wait to get pics and mark out with the wrestlers. I don't see anything wrong with it but they had a big stigma around them for a while.  It is impossible though to not mention how great of a job Chris has done with AIW.  From day one to what they have become now is impressive.   I will miss Chris.

    I was fortunate to work a series of shows with Shane Douglas.  The guy is still a great talker and can make one of the tightest blades of anyone I have ever seen. He is also a hell of a locker room leader.  I wasn't a huge fan of his later WCW stuff but I do think his 92-93 WCW run is criminally under-rated.

    I fucked my neck up literally two rolls into my proper training (which came after I had already done two shows).  I've had problems with it ever since.  Also, two documented concussions.  Probably more considering I got horsecollared with a chair once.

    I think people would be surprised at how bumps are given/taken prior to some completing their training. I took a bump on Big Bully Busick's retirement show while wearing a suit. It was a simple slam that ended up hurting my back pretty bad. It just makes me respect what these guys do on a nightly basis even more.

    I work for our city's minor-league hockey team and we had a post-game meet & greet at the casino last night since it was the last game of the season. After being there a little while, I look over at the Casino bar and see a guy sitting by himself having a Miller Lite. He looked familiar but I could only see him from the side. A short time later while the hockey M&G was still going on nearby, I see the guy fully turn around to check out the scene and holy shit it's RICKY STEAMBOAT. Turns out IWC out of Pittsburgh ran a show at the casino earlier in the evening and brought him in for the weekend. 

    Needless to say, at that point, I completely abandoned all work duties and introduced myself to him. We literally spent the next hour bullshitting at the bar. Everything from Mid-Atlantic to Jay Youngblood to WM 3 and the buildup with Savage to the Flair Trilogy(his favorite was the Clash VI 2 out of 3) to working with Rude & Austin before he retired. Super, super nice guy. He actually asked me for a picture since I bought him a beer which was unexpected and cool. Definitely one of those moments I'll remember for a long time.

    Ricky was in Wheeling for the show as was Ryback.  Ricky is super amazing and polite as you said. He was letting people wear his hall of fame ring and taking pics of them with it on also.  Total class act and I hope he comes back to the area.  Also Kurt Angle and Booker T are in monroeville for a signing today.  Sting was there yesterday.

    I don't know if that's a joke, but I would seriously plunk down money towards this.  You might be onto something there.

    I'm trying hard not to go "Fuck JBL" for Mauro's situation, but it's hard not to.  Unless Mauro denies JBL being the reason given the track record it's hard not to believe he had a huge hand in this.  If it was one person taking issue with stuff JBL's done, then it can go either way.  But when multiple people have come out and said all the heinous things he's done?  Now that'd be cause to really pressure WWE to cut him immediately.

    So try as I might I just can't avoid saying it:  Fuck JBL.

    Can't we just have Joey Styles beat his ass again and take his seat?

    Oh, I understand why they're doing it.  I just think it's stupid.  Nikki is not a bigger star than Cena, despite the Total Divas/Bellas success, unless I'm grossly misreading WWE's numbers.  

    I don't even think of it as a popularity point but what about the fact that Maryse hasn't worked a match in how long?  It's odd that WWE would have Lana's first match at a wrestlemania and now have Maryse in a big match at Wrestlemania.  We may not think it's big but any match at Mania with Cena in it is considered huge.
