Hey it's Baltimore county, and it is a Republican willing to run, that's what counts. Everything else is just a bonus
LOL. Yes the Austrian was a huge mistake but you a missing the nuance here so I'll be very loud and clear
this is freaking Baltimore County there's no freaking way any Republican is possibly going to win, unlike California where Tom McClintock would have won his statewide race in 2002 had it not been for a right wing third party.
Pencil-neck geeks need not apply ;-)
he's just trying to win over some Democrat votes
From PW Torch:
Joey Styles came in the Spirit Squad's office (a group of five Ohio Valley development wrestlers going with a male cheerleader gimmick given control of that week's show by McMahon. Styles was in there because he had a lack of spirit. They called his lack of spirit appalling and didn't need Styles' negative energy. They said that, if he doesn't improve, he's going to have to wear a red cheerleader outfit during Raw next week. They showed him the cheerleader getup and said they had four cheerleaders tonight, and next week, it looks like they'll have one more. They demanded that Joey Styles say "the new WWE Champion is Kenny!" A depressed Styles said what they wanted. They demanded it be done with more spirit. Styles tried again, but it wasn't much better. Kenny demonstrated how it should be done, doing a Styles "Oh my God!" and saying that the new champion is "Kennyyyy! Kennyyyy! Kennyyyy!" He wasn't pronouncing the middle very well, so it sounded like he was saying KKK at first. Yikes. They sent Styles off to practice for the main event.
Joey Styles walked back down to ringside. Jerry Lawler welcomed "lead announcer... and future cheerleader, Joey Styles!" Lawler asked Styles to say his line, and said it, then asked Styles to do it with spirit. Styles: "How about they just do their jobs and call a wrestling match? Lawler said if they were in ECW, he can imagine Styles showing spirit, and did an "Oh my God!". Styles: "If this was ECW, I wouldn't be working with a hack like you." (Oh, snap!) The crowd oooohed. Lawler was taken aback a bit, but then smiled and said that Styles was finally showing some spirit. Styles said, if Lawler wants to see some spirit, how about this, and then started shoving Lawler. Lawler said, that's good, we like spirit! King was taking it good naturedly, but then Styles slapped him in the face. Lawler called him a little idiot and shoved him down. An angry Joey Styles stomped to the back.
(Commercial break.)
Lawler said, during the break, he apologized to the fans, and wanted to apologize to Joey because he was just trying to have a little fun and things got out of hand. He invited Joey to come on back. An angry Joey Styles came out onto the stage. Styles then delivered the following awesome, awesome promo.
"You want to apologize like nothing happened, like you didn't knock me on my ass in front of millions of people worldwide, and I'm going to come down there and work with you? I'm not coming back. And now, thanks to the magic of live television, I'm going to show the whole world that for seven years in ECW, I was the unscripted, loose cannon of commentary! Six months ago, WWE called me. I didn't call this company because I was looking for a job. I wasn't looking for a job. WWE called me because they had fired and humiliated again Jim Ross. So I get J.R.'s spot. From week one, week after week, I got a lecture on the differences between professional wrestling and sports entertainment. (The crowd booed.) I'm not allowed to say pro wrestling or wrestler. I have to say sports entertainment and refer to the wrestlers as 'superstars.' I'm told to deliberately ignore the moves and the holds during the matches so I can tell stories. Well, ignoring the moves and the holds is damn insulting to the wrestlers, not the entertainers, who leave their families three-hundred days a year to ply their craft in that ring. They're the best part. Because I'm not a sports entertainment storyteller, I get pulled from WrestleMania. The reason given is I don't sound like Jim Ross, who is the guy they fired in the first place. That makes sense, right? So I swallow the bitter pill. I'm a company guy. I get bumped from WrestleMania. Then I get bumped from Backlash. I'm not good enough to call Backlash? On ECW, I called live pay-per-views on my own, solo, no color commentators dragging me down! Wasn't done before me. Hasn't been done since. But I'm not good enough to call Backlash because I'm not a 'sports entertainment storyteller.' Well, you know you what? I am sick of sports entertainment. I am sick of male cheerleaders. I am sick of boogers and bathroom humor and semen. I am sick of our chairman who likes to talk about his own semen. He mocks God! He mocks God and makes out with the divas all to feed his insatiable ego! I am sick of sports entertainment! And most of all, I am sick of all of you fans who buy into that crap, this sports entertainment circus! (That got loud boos from the crowd.) I never needed this job and I don't want this job anymore. I quit!"
Lawler put on his headset and said "We brought Joey Styles up from the gutter and it looks like he just got homesick. Maybe Joey Styles would seem more at home in a bingo hall kissing Paul Heyman's ass." (Oh!)
Not so fast... that USSR shirt may trick a few Democrats into voting for him.
Hacksaw Jim was a major pothead. Wonder if he is still tokin' it up around Glens Falls, NY.
I saw Mr. Wrestling #II use the atomic kneelift on the Professor Taro Tanaka live when I was a kid.
Wow. I hated him when I was a kid, I hope he wins.
He is from yugoslavia, nice guy, pretty conservative, but very naive.
He used to get scared about the pro castro folks.
I loved that. He supposedly submitted the script, got it approved and deviated from the script.
"Classy" Freddy Blassie would have made a great Dem.
At least he sang it in Russian, not Spanish.
They fought in the crowd, in the parking lot, backstage, and in the bathrooms in the arena. EVERYTHING was a prop. My favorite was when Sullivan ripped a paper towel dispenser from the bathroom wall and hit Benoit over the head with it. There was a rolling security team that kept the fans away from the two during the match.
They were something to see.
Correct. When Volkoff was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, his hatred of Communism and his love of America was very prominent in his speech. He mentioned running inthis election, because America is such a great country, and all these apportunities are available to him.
