There are all sorts of rumors going on about UPW losing its developmental deal with the WWF. If this is in fact true the shows UPW puts on after this goes down will say a lot about UPW. Recently people have been complaining about how UPW doesn’t book for the fans. How they put big […]
Kayfabe
This is only my second column on this site, probably because I usually don’t have that much to write about. I only write about something that I am irritated by, hence my last column entitled “Marks”. This time I wanna write about the bullshit taboo known as “Kayfabe”. “Kayfabe” is a stupid word, and an […]

The Spirit of Revolution Stage 3 was hot. Literally. It was like an oven inside the Indoor Swap Meet. Now that the tournament is half over, Mr. Excitement is all but assured of a spot in the finals. All he needs is a win this Saturday vs. Shogun. What was up with the double countout […]

DORONS RANT’S AND RAVES
I must apologize for my lack of posting here. It’s finals and I am mentally drained at the moment but I continue to strive for the enjoyment of you fine readers. WHY WHY WHY? *Why is XPW-TV’s opening sequence so damn long? *Why doesn’t Pogo the Clown get a different gimmick? I always wanted to […]

I’m sad that I’m going to miss the second stage f the Spirit of Revolution Tournament. Stage 1 really kicked things off right. If everything goes right this tournament could be talked about in SoCal for a long time. My pick is still El Gallinero. Even if he doesn’t win it all, an appearance in […]

Rankings are out once again. The rankings don’t really show who is better than who, just who five people felt had the best showing over the last month. One thing the rankings do show is that SoCal has a ton of talent. In the three months this site has been doing rankings, only 6 guys […]

A lot of people have been asking who is this person I talked about in Steve’s View #4. Well, the answer is Vince Russo. I had gotten several e-mails telling me Russo is joining XPW, one from a respected source. I didn’t really believe it, mainly because I doubt Rob Black and Kevin Kleinrock would […]
Starting Your Own Federation
So you’ve decided to become a Wrestling Promoter and start your own Federation. Well, where do you begin? It’s not as easy as it looks or more people would be successful at it. First of all, there is NOT a whole lot of money in it. Most promoters loose money and some if lucky, just […]

What more is there to say about last Saturday’s MPW show that hasn’t been said? The show was solid and all the workers gave it 100%. Did the show live up to the hype? No, but it would have been hard for any show to live up the hype MPW recieved. Politics played a major […]
Long Live the King
May 23 1999 is a day I will never forget. It was a day that was supposed to have a pay per view filled with excitement and spectacle. Instead, it was a day that altered my life. I was watching WWF’s “Over The Edge” and all of a sudden Jim Ross announces something went wrong […]
This is for the Dead
May 23rd, 1999. Another normal day really. The St. Louis Cardinals walked on the Los Angeles Dodgers in a game at Dodger Stadium. At the conclusion of the game, a father would drive his son to a friends house. When that father picked him up four hours later, his son had a gloomy look. The […]
