Phantom Lord Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 I watched this past weeks Pro Wrestling Syndicate show on my DVR earlier and there was an amazingly fun match with Mario Bokara, Dan Maff, and Fallah Baah for the PWS Title. Maff has the PWS version of the MITB case and he cashed in and turned what was supposed to be a chairs match between Bokara and Baah into a hardcore triple threat. Mario Bokara is probably my favorite wrestler right now which says a lot. I wish he could get a shot on TNA or something. Anyway search out the match. I'm sure they put it up on youtube. So many great comedy hardcore spots with Fallah Baah (he's a sumo...so hardcore match + barefoot...you see where it could be going). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Thank you WWE.com! Looking at this I totally heard the Lesnar shriek. You know the one. And of course, it led me down the rabbit hole to this: which led me to this 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMN Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I purchased the three seasons of XPW TV. It was the promotion that got me back into wrestling (yes, yes, I know it sucks). It's still entertaining, as long as you don't care about the actual wrestling, which there isn't much of on the show anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zheroen Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 There was something oddly-endearing, in an MST3K kind of way, about the commentary team of Kris Kloss and Larry Rivera. Not to mention the great acting provided by the pornstar valets in the numerous vignettes. But yeah, Homeless Jimmy, Webb, Kaos were actual highlights of the promotion as far as in-ring performers, and it's unfortunate that they never really amounted to anything outside of XPW.

But yeah, Homeless Jimmy, Webb, Kaos were actual highlights of the promotion as far as in-ring performers, and it's unfortunate that they never really amounted to anything outside of XPW. Some of the bumps that Homeless Jimmy takes are absolutely absurd. He takes back bumps onto his shopping cart multiple times, and each time I swear he's going to break his back. Webb has always been one of my favorite guys from XPW, he's usually entertaining outside the ring, and he evolved as a character, which is all I really want from a wrestler. I think he deserved better, but he wasn't the one who lost the most from XPW going down. I think that was Kaos, who had a second chance with WSX, and almost got into TNA, but the package of him and GQ Money (Ryan Katz, who works with NXT now) was highly entertaining. He's still working, has his own wrestling school, so I think he's doing alright. Forgot about Josh Lazie too. Dude always seemed pretty cool to me. I feel like Kloss and Rivera had good chemistry, and Kloss got better as the promotion went on, until they turned him into even more than a Joey Styles clone. Rivera going on and on about 'lucha libre' was always cool, his digressions into Spanish, and Kloss correcting him on words. It's better than Cole and JBL.

The Nature Boy Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 WWE brought back Steve Austin after he assaulted Debra and even had him stun Stacy Keibler on live TV for not drinking a beer. There are tons of sleazy people involved with WWE and pro wrestling in general. Hell, Mayweather himself appeared on WWE TV and wrestled in a high profile match at WrestleMania. Has Beadle not been paying attention or is she desperate for attention? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMN Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Austin is supposedly Beadle's favorite wrestler, so there's that. Not defending Floyd, or Austin, but it makes her stance look difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cool arrow Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Sure it'd be fun while it lasted, but you know that ultimately Cornette would end up burning his bridges with... whatever governing body oversees horse racing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Commander Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Then after Cornette burned his bridges in horse racing, he would start podcasting about how horse racing used to be better in the 1970s and how the 2010s horses can't draw anyways 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
