The only lighting was the spotlight on the ring, so I still couldn�t see anything outside of the ring. Of course, the house lights stayed down while Rocca and Perez made their grand entrance to the ring. I didn�t see the people until they cut the spotlights and brought the house lights up. This is no exaggeration. I�m not just saying this. My jaw actually dropped and I stood there with my mouth open. I thought, 'My God! I�ve never seen this many people in one place in my entire life.'" — from "Assassin: The Man Behind the Mask" by Joe Hamilton There has always been something special about attending an event in New York City — sporting events, theater, movies, concerts — and even though wrestling fans in the Northeast loved their local venues, when push came to shove, the one place they�d rather see wrestling than any other was Madison Square Garden. Contrary to popular belief, pro wrestling wasn�t always a big draw in the Garden, even though NYC was the number one media market in the world.

  • Playing Catch-Up We, As in Both Ben and Myself, Are Back This Week For
    Cubed Circle Newsletter 238 – Playing Catch-Up We, as in both Ben and myself, are back this week for the first two author newsletter in well over a month. This issue is late, as has been the case for around the same amount of time, but I like to think that this is due to wrestling backlog more than anything else. Regardless, we have a ton to cover in this week's newsletter including TNA financial woes, Kurt Angle vs. Zack Sabre Jr., the go- home show for Money in the Bank, Lawler domestic violence allegations, the best New Japan matches from March through to April and so much more! – Ryan Clingman, Cubed Circle Newsletter Editor The Pro-Wres Digest for June 12th – June 18th Ben Carass. Top Stories: In a last ditch move to prevent the company from defaulting on its debts and finally going away for good, Billy Corgan purchased a minority ownership of TNA this week. Dixie Carter has been searching for months, and probably even years, to find an investor to inject some cash into the withering company, however the conditions of any sale were that Carter had to keep a majority stake and remain as a featured performer on television. Unsurprisingly there wasn't a long list of takers and earlier this year it appeared like the media company Aroluxe, which former wrestlers Ron & Don Harris are involved with, were all but set to take over TNA. Aroluxe covered costs like production expenses for iMPACT tapings and also made sure TNA had enough money to actually pay all the talent and production staff.

  • The American Perceptions of Colonial Korea (1910−1945)
    Representing the Invisible: The American Perceptions of Colonial Korea (1910−1945) Jimin Kim Submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Science COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2011 © 2011 Jimin Kim All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Representing the Invisible: The American Perceptions of Colonial Korea (1910−1945) Jimin Kim This study argues that American views of Korea during the period of Japanese colonial rule (1910–1945) shaped U.S. policy toward Korea in the colonial period and after, setting the stage for direct U.S. involvement in Korea‘s post-liberation years after 1945. Korean nationalists perceived the U.S. as a special ally and a model country, and expected it to play a positive role in resolving Korea‘s colonial status. In fact, American views of Korea in the early twentieth century were mixed, and depended greatly on the respective observers‘ relationship to Korea—whether as missionary, as scholar, or as diplomat. At the same time, Japan played a crucial role in mediating American views, reflecting the Asia colonizer‘s interest in winning international approval for its imperialist project. When Korean-American diplomatic relations began in the late nineteenth century, Americans observers typically regarded Korea as an uncivilized but distinct Asian country. This perception of backwardness persisted into the early twentieth century, even as Korea lost its status as a nation-state with the Japanese annexation of 1910. Awareness of Japanese subjugation of Korea would expand significantly in the period 1919-1922, as journalists and missionaries conveyed news of the March First Movement to the American public and Korean nationalists countered Japanese government efforts to influence international opinion.

  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} the Grapple Manual Heroes and Villains from the Golden Age of World Wrestling by Kendo Nagasaki International Championship Wrestling
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The Grapple Manual Heroes and Villains from the Golden Age of World Wrestling by Kendo Nagasaki International Championship Wrestling. International Championship Wrestling was an independent professional wrestling promotion based in Lexington, Kentucky that operated from 1978 until 1984. It was run by WCW Hall of Famer Angelo Poffo, the father of Randy Savage and "The Genius" Lanny Poffo. [1] Throughout its history, ICW was considered an "outlaw" promotion, in which International Championship Wrestling was not a member of the National Wrestling Alliance and promoted shows in direct competition against NWA regional territories. [2] Contents. History. The promotion was founded in 1978 as a rival to Ron Fuller's Southeastern Championship Wrestling and Nick Gulas NWA Mid-American territory, extending into Verne Gagne's American Wrestling Association and Dick Afflis' World Wrestling Association territories by 1981. Later on they'd come in direct competition with Jerry Lawler and Jerry Jarrett's Continental Wrestling Association [1] as well, operating in their territories and even managed to get several wrestlers to leave Southeastern and the CWA to join ICW. [3] This, among other issues, would result in a series of lawsuits between Poffo and other NWA-affiliated organizations during the late 1970s and early 80s. [4] The main stars of ICW were Poffo's sons Randy (better known as "Macho Man" Randy Savage) and Lanny (better known as "Leaping" Lanny Poffo) who frequently traded the promotion's heavyweight title between each other; [5] in fact only one other man (Paul Christy) held the ICW World Heavyweight Championship in the 6 years the title existed.
