I think it's all a ploy to brainwash the that, I've got some property in Florida you fans into thinking Backlund is a force to be might be interested in. The Hogan/Flair reckoned with and therefore a dangerous match wasn't a complete waste, however. We opponent. When Bret Hart destroys him at did get to see Sheri Martel's considerable Survivor Series, everyone will applaud Bret assets. (Those of you who saw Halloween and go home thinking that Bret actually Havoc know exactly what I mean!).... How accomplished something important. Please, about the masked man being none other than Vince, give us SOME credit....Power and Big Brother Brutae? I kept waiting for the Precision has broken into North Georgia Hulkster to utter the same quote that made wrestling, and they may go all the way to the Julius Ceasar famous: "Et tu, top....Here's my dream pay-per-view match: Brutae?"....Maybe I'm just biased towards Yokozuna and King Kong Bundy against all great wrestling, but Shawn Michaels and the vertically challenged people that have Diesel are the best tag team in the business.... overrun the WWF. Yokozuna could take out Has anyone other than me had enough of the several of the little guys with a Banzai Drop, Vader/ Guardian Angel feud yet? I like them and Bundy could just kill and devour the rest both, but isn't there anyone else out there who of them. (Ed. WAPLEworld is not politically will wrestle them? Maybe that's what correct. From now on, Dink, Wink, Pink, Avalanche (Earthquake) is here to do.... Sleazy, Queazy, and Cheesy will be referred Roddy Piper is a washed-up wrestler and a to as "midgets").... Did anyone else see Lucha terrible actor. BOTTOM LINE!....Abdullah Libre: When Worlds Collide on pay-per-view the Butcher is scheduled to wrestle Bob earlier this month?

It fan in simply has to be seen to be believed.... attenda Around the office, this issue is being referred nce, to as the "Jason Valentine issue." You see, we want to at Waple World have been following Valentine see since he was a preliminary wrestler for the buckets WCF in Calhoun, GA. I even predicted his and future success in a past edition of Larz Land. buckets His name appears no less thansix times in this of issue because of his recent victory in NGWA. BLOO Larz Land will continue to provide full D!... coverage of this"legend in the making".... The Why recent match between Sid Vicious and The the Undertaker in USWA was simply awesome. I heck hope that the WWF signs this match for has the Wrestlemania XI. It might even be better than WWF the ladder match between Shawn and Razor been earlier this year. On second thought, it giving probably won't.... Well, that's all for this Bob edition of Larz Land. I hope that everyone Backlu enjoys the new format of WAPLEworld. nd so See you in December! Match Ratings A scale from Bob Chic Chris one to ten This match was a lot more exciting than Hulk Hogan I thought it would be. I've always been a It was a disaster! It's not like I was Hulkamaniac and I'm glad he won. I I didn't like this match as much as I liked vs. was expecting Flair to bleed a lot during pulling against Hogan, it's just I was pulling for Ric, and now he's gone. I've their match at Bash. The steel cage the match, but he didn't... what's up with didn't excite me very much, but I liked that? How 'bout that butt? Where's never cried so hard in my life... other Ric Flair than in the squared circle. the surprise ending. (Halloween Havoc) Sherri been hiding that thing? I liked it. 2 I couldn't believe this match was even I've been watching8 Jason for a long time 7 Jason Valentine now, and I can honestly say that, he is shown. The announcers weren't even pound for pound, one of the best paying attention when Valentine vs. wrestlers out there. I'm glad I was able cheated to get the pin. And the post to witness his victory. Boy, can you Whatever Bob said, I fell asleep. match interview was a complete imagine actually losing to Valentine? Of tragedy. I rated it a one because that's Kenny Dee course, he's beaten the Waples. how many career victories Valentine is (NGWA) 10! going to end up1 with. 10! I gave this match such a low rating Shawn Michaels/ Shawn Michaels and Diesel kick ass! Then again, so does Razor Ramon. I because it wasn't on pay-per-view. (I Diesel vs. would have liked it if those three had would've given it a 10!) I didn't like What else can I say?! As long as wrestled the 1-2-3 Kid, cause the Kid having a commercial interruption in the Razor Ramon/ Shawn and Diesel win, I'm happy.

  • Samoan Submission Machines
    Samoan Submission Machines: Grappling with Representations of Samoan Identity in Professional Wrestling Theo Plothe1 Savannah State University [email protected] Amongst the myriad of characters to step foot in the squared circle, perhaps no ethnic group has been as celebrated or marginalized as the Samoans who have made their names in professional wrestling. The discussion of Samoan identity in the context of sport has examined Maori identity and masculinity in New Zealand, among other topics, but there has yet to be work which considers Samoans within professional wrestling. This research investigates Samoan identity through a content analysis of televised wrestling matches. This research identifies six primary stereotypes under which Samoan identity is portrayed. These portrayals of Samoan characters, I argue, flatten the representation of this ethnic group within wrestling and culture at large. Keywords: Samoans, identity, representation, gimmicks Introduction Among the myriad of characters to step foot in the squared circle, perhaps no ethnic group has been as celebrated or marginalized as the Samoans who have made their names in professional wrestling. This research investigates the identity of Samoans within professional wrestling, and the different ways they are constructed and presented to audiences. “Gimmicks,” characters portrayed by a wrestler “resulting in the sum of fictional elements, attire and wrestling ability” (Oliva and Calleja 3) utilized by Samoans have run the gamut from the wild uncivilized savage, to the sumo (both in villainous Japanese and comically absurd iterations), to the ultra-cool mogul who wears silk shirts and fancy shoes. Their ability to cut promos, an important facet of the modern gimmick allowing wrestlers to address their opponents and storylines, varies widely as well, but all lie within their Samoan identity.

San Antonio’s premier Halloween event features more than 30 acres of tormenting surprises and unexpected terrors around every corner, with three new terror-tories™ and a brand new haunted house featuring a bone-chilling backstory and a disturbing cast of demon dolls. This year’s theme, Evil Encore, is inspired by childhood toys gone horribly wrong as a troupe of demon dolls take on a life of their own. Once the charming creations of “Mr. Karver,” the dolls of Karver’s Kradle have developed an insatiable hunger for souls. Now these dolls are on the prowl. Citizens are urged to be on the lookout for Alfred, one of Mr. Karver’s most sinister dolls, who we fear will soon be out and about in San Antonio wreaking Halloween havoc. San Antonians are encouraged to be alert and help track Alfred’s whereabouts at #HowlOScreamTX and on Facebook, HowlOScreamSATX. Helping to find Alfred and getting him back to Karver’s Kradle will have its rewards. Howl-O-Scream’s Kreeptails Howl-O-Scream returns Friday, Sept. 30 for select nights through Sunday, Oct. 30. While SeaWorld opens at 10 a.m. for Halloween fun for the little ones, the frightmosphere of Howl-O-Scream kicks off at 7 p.m.

Honey, Master of Science Utah State University, 2020 Major Professor: Dr. Eric César Morales Program: American Studies This paper examines the shifting portrayals of Pacific Islanders in World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) across three generations. As both a popular and historically racially problematic venue, WWE’s politically incorrect programming has played an underappreciated and under examined role in representing the USA. Although 4 many different groups have been portrayed by gross stereotypes in WWE, this paper uses the family of Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson—the Samoan Dynasty—as a case study. The WWE originally presented Pacific Islanders using the most offensive stereotypes, and the first two generations of the Samoan Dynasty had to “play Indian” or cosign onto gross representations of their people to be recognized by American audiences unfamiliar with representations of Pacific Islanders.

  • Red Smith Wrote That Baseball Was a Dull Game Only to Dull Minds. in His
    Published November 3, 2007 at http://muchnick.net/HitmanReview.pdf Review of Bret Hart’s Hitman: My Real Life in the Cartoon World of Wrestling By Irvin Muchnick Red Smith wrote that baseball was a dull game only to dull minds. In his sprawling autobiography, Bret Hart sets out to prove that the genre “pro wrestling literature” is oxymoronic only to oxymorons. And Hart succeeds. Despite its intimidating length, Hitman: My Real Life in the Cartoon World of Wrestling (a runaway bestseller in Canada, not yet available in the U.S.) has a surprisingly high muscle-to-fat ratio. With the superb Have a Nice Day! , published in 1999, Mick Foley pioneered the picaresque wrestler’s memoir. But Hart, who doesn’t do goofy, is hunting bigger game. Inevitably, one turns to earthy details of mundane score-settling – both conscious and unconscious, both within the peculiar industry that defined him and within the even more peculiar Calgary-based clan that, for a certain population of fans, helped define the industry. Before getting to all that, though, it’s important to remark upon the sheer beauty of the prose in Hitman ’s best parts. Like his favorite writer, Mark Helprin, Hart occupies the border between phantasmagoria and realism. My favorite passages cover his foreign travels, during which he either reflects on the social conditions he observes there (Manila) or delights in lush landscape (Capetown). Domestically, you can all but smell the Alberta and Saskatchewan prairies; faithful depictions of hardscrabble life on the tundra, inside and outside the ring, make for something close to the Great Western Canadian Novel.

  • 10 Side Businesses You Didn't Know WWE Wrestlers Owned WWE
    10 Side Businesses You Didn’t Know WWE Wrestlers Owned WWE Wrestlers make a lot of money each year, and some still do side jobs. Some use their strength and muscle to moonlight as bodyguards, like Sheamus and Brodus Clay, who has been a bodyguard for Snoop Dogg. And Paul Bearer was a funeral director in his spare time and went back to it full time after he retired until his death in 2012. And some of the previous jobs WWE Wrestlers have had are a little different as well; Steve Austin worked at a dock before he became a wrestler. Orlando Jordan worked for the U.S. Forest Service for the group that helps put out forest fires. The WWE’s Maven was a sixth- grade teacher before wrestling. Rico was a one of the American Gladiators before becoming a wrestler, for those who don’t know what the was, it was TV show on in the 90’s. That had strong men and woman go up against contestants; they had events that they had to complete to win prizes. Another profession that many WWE Wrestlers did before where a wrestler is a professional athlete. Kurt Angle competed at the 1996 Summer Olympics in freestyle wrestling and won a gold metal. Mark Henry also competed in that Olympics in weightlifting. Goldberg played for three years with the Atlanta Falcons. Junk Yard Dog and Lex Luger both played for the Green Bay Packers. Believe it or not but Macho Man Randy Savage played in the minor league Cincinnati Reds before he was telling the world “Oh Yeah.” Just like most famous people they had day jobs before they because professional wrestlers.
