I wasn’t surprised that our General Manager of RAW, Eric Bischoff put me to manage Carlito, the most un-cool person if not THE worst WWE superstar in the business. After Matt Hardy had to leave the company, I was left with no one to manage. I’m going to miss him. He didn’t deserve to leave. I was fond of Matt. I was intrigued by his raging determination to payback Edge for what he did (betraying him, let alone steal his woman). Eric Bischoff was impressed with my valet skill, he thought I could help Carlito out with his matches to prevent him from cheating to gain a win. Apart from Eric’s intrigued impression of my managing skills, he was also impressed with my wresting. During Matt’s last match against Edge in a Loser-Leaves-Raw match, Lita (who was now Matt’s ex-girlfriend and Edge’s new girlfriend) tried to hold me back from me from spearing him out the way so Matt could get up the ladder and grab the briefcase. …show more content…
I heard the crowd roar as if we were in a gladiator battle in rome. As she rolled out of the ring I could see traces of blood following her trail. She was bleeding from her nose. Next thing I knew, I was out of the ring from being speared by Edge, and Lita quickly locked her arms and legs around Matt from the ropes so he didn't have a way to free himself and prevent Edge from obtaining the briefcase and winning the match. From where I was at, I watched Matt being escorted out of the arena by security. At that point I felt pitiful for the guy. But here I was now being offered to be a part of a triple threat match against Trish Stratus, Victoria and myself for the Women’s Championship. Of course, this was an offer I could not pass

Ever since Vince McMahon prospered in turning the WWE into a global empire, there has been a bevy of competitors vying to knock him off his perch. In the 80's countless regional outfits tried to compete with the WWE (then WWF) on a national level. These companies contained the Bill Watts owned UWF, Verne Gagnes AWA and the renowned NWA. None of which had the resources nor the business acumen to match McMahon. In the 90's, the Turner owned enterprise World Championship Wrestling, fathered a viable foe to the WWE. During its peak, WCW was outdrawing the WWE at house shows and conquering them every week in the Monday Night War ratings. However, as the 90's closed, so did WCW. Spear-headed by "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and The Rock, the WWE once again triumphed. In 2002, former WCW Heavyweight Champion Jeff Jarrett, alongside his father, long time promoter Jerry Jarrett, the two started Total Nonstop Action. Throughout its rocky tenure, TNA went through many trials and tribulations. However, as of late, the decade old company has become reminiscent of WCW in its dying days. Here are the t...
The Creative was completely confused at this turn of events! Bethany asked everyone why she was being excluded from the script on this! When told there wasn’t any, she went ballistic! Was her Dad up to his old tricks, dabbling behind her back. “Dammit!”she bellowed “What is that old man up to this time!” The cellphone chirped to life as her nervous fingers pounded the speed dial keys. The phone was playing the familiar ring tone for WKM's private line at W.W.E. Wrestlers World Enterprises. Winston Kenny MacMan grumbled as the phone was disturbing one of his favorite pastimes checking the PPV ticket sales and counting the money. Wince was a sly old fox who had taken the old boxing promotion his grandfather started. learned the business diligently at his fathers wrestling promotions and then carved out his own personal empire ruthlessly and coldly, to where it is today.
"They (wrestlers) think they are indestructible. But I’ll tell you what -- those three athletes thought they were indestructible, too. And they aren’t around to talk about it."Wrestlers believe that it is mind over body; they can accomplish anything and nothing bad will ever happen to them. So, LaRosa’s behavior on that fatal day in November wasn’t anything out of the ordinary for many college wrestlers. He was wearing sweats over a rubber suit and riding a stationary bike in a steam-filled shower room. His body temperature reached 108 degrees. He was trying to make weight for his match the next day, and wrestling’s rules did little to discourage such dangerous practices. The logic in wrestling is to make the lowest weight you can in the weigh-ins, which are 24 hours before the match. Then you can replenish and rehydrate your body over the course of the 24 hours between the weigh-in and the match. This will give you an advantage in the competition because you really will be bigger and stronger then most of the wrestlers in that lower weight class.

The crowd roars with a deafening volume that could awaken the dead from their eternal slumber. He explodes through the doors, the crowd's cheers raise to an even higher decibel, as he sprits up to the ring it appears the only thing running through his veins is pure adrenaline, his muscles bulge as he slides into the ring. He rises to he feet, the crowd is still ecstatic, as he lifts his extended middle finger into the air as he screams, "Give me a HELL YEAH!", and the crowd, including people from all walks of life, answers back, "HELL YEAH!" He once held the Heavy Weight Champion belt of the World Wrestling Federation, making him number one, and he believes, and gets his fans to believe, he is still number one. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin is a prime candidate for the nomination of a modern day Anglo-Saxon hero. "Stone Cold's" immense physical strength, his courage, and his loyalty would have any Anglo-Saxon by his side.
In the short story “Big Black Good Man”, we see a third-person narrator who tells the story from Olaf Jenson 's point of view. The story reflects the time it was written where race was common in society. In this story we can remind ourselves of little lessons that can be applied every day in life. In the beginning, Olaf was a good man of relaxation and satisfaction. Olaf makes a decision that changes his life. In the next year he finally finds closure. Things take a big turn when a big black man walks through the door of Olaf’s hotel. In the last line of Richard Wright’s short story “Big Black Good Man”, it indicates that Jim remained unaware of Olaf’s feelings toward him. Jim had no idea that Olaf was a deep-seated racial prejudice. Although
Then one day, when he had to go in for a routine inspection, he fainted before the dentist could touch him. That night, he faced the dentist and got him to pull out a tooth because he wanted to preserve his reputation from the embarrassment. Similarly, when I was a black belt, I was known for being quite the creative and subtle fighter. However, people with strengths in that subject, I had a weakness, a fatal flaw in exchange for an advantage in other terms. It was that I never wore a groin protector, shin guards and arm guards as it hinders movement. My opponent knew that, he took advantage of it, and I was there on the mat, in agony and embarrassed. The next few days, I sulked around watching him spar and the next time I fought him, I utilized my newfound knowledge of his weakness, his back was unprotected, and I mopped the floor with him. Like Curt, I held my reputation as my first priority, and when it was hurt, we both went great lengths to repair
A known quote by Lou Brock, "Show me a guy who's afraid to look bad, and I'll show you a guy you can beat every time." Eddie Rake may not have spoken these words himself but he instills in his players to not be the guy who is afraid to look bad and leads by example at that.

Following the Fanfest portion, there was an exclusive cocktail party that limited the number of fans. Imagine being a fan, grabbing your favorite cash bar beverage. Nibbling on complimentary hors d'oeuvres while navigating through the room. Could it get any better? Yes! 90- minutes to mingle with The Assassin (Jody Hamilton), his son, Nick Patrick, who was a longtime referee for WCW, and WWF. Wrestlers Steve Keirn, Bugsy McGraw, Fidel Sierra (The Cuban Assassin), Ricky "Gladiator" Hunter, Lady/Mad Maxine, Downtown Denny Brown, Referee Frank Reyes and Scott McGee. Professional wrestlers jolted the crowd. As each one came through the door, you could hear random voices exclaim. Wow! I just saw so and so. You could feel the excitement. Almost like going back in time, waiting for the next wrestler to make his way to the ring. Bob Cook, known for one of the best punches in the business. Ray Lloyd "Glacier," The Southern Posse "Rick Thames and Sonny Trout joined the action. The Fanfest cocktail party ended with a celebration to honor Eddie Graham and "Cowboy" Luttrall. The rugged pioneers of Championship Wrestling from Florida, who demanded a strict code of doing things right. Both of their families were in attendance to receive special commendations from Hillsborough County, Florida. CWF Legend Jerry Brisco presented Referee Stu Swartz, and female wrestlers Bonnie Watson and Sherri Lee, with their CWF Hall of Fame Awards. Bonnie Watson and Sherri Lee recognized from an era
CLAP, CLAP, CLAP, CLAP, echoes through my head as I walk to the middle of the mat. "At 160lbs Aidan Conner of La Junta vs. Rodney Jones of Hotchkiss." All I can think of is every bead of sweat, every drip of blood, every mile, every push up, every tear. Why? All of this: just to be victorious. All in preparation for one match, six minutes. For some these six minutes may only be a glimpse, and then again for some it may be the biggest six minutes of their life. Many get the chance to experience it more than once. Some may work harder and want it more than others, but they may never get the chance. All they get is a moral victory. Every kid, every man comes into the tournament with a goal. For some is to win, for some is to place, others are just happy to qualify. These six minutes come on a cold frigid night in February at a place called the Pepsi Center. Once a year this gathering takes place when the small and the large, the best of the best, come to compete in front thousands of people. I am at the Colorado State Wrestling Championships.
