The opinions expressed in this column do not necessarily reflect the opinion of Hollywood Jimmy Blaylock, the Webmaster, or anyone else connected with this site. They are mine, and mine alone. If you agree with me, OK, and if you don’t, that’s OK. The fact is, when Axeman writes it, you read it, and that’s what counts. So, love me or hate me, here we go….

Greetings, wrestleholics! I have a number of things to talk about, so here we go....

.

First of all, I would like to welcome our newest columnist, Lord Humongous, to hollywoodjimmy.com. I have enjoyed his columns so far. All the Hugo haters who are posting crap on the board are just jealous. Lord Humongous has been around the wrestling business a long time and knows what he is talking about. He is an asset to this site.

.

That reminds me, the following post appeared on the message board a few days ago:

.

Name: Doug in West Point
Country:
Date: Wed Oct 31 04:29:14 2007
Comment: I'm almost certain that this man "Hugo" was a jobber who has never amounted to anything in the business. Who all has he worked for on a regular basis? He's probably another one of those "legends" like Sammy Hall and Sarge O'Reilly. He's almost probably just a stupid backyard mark like Dudley.

.

Well, Doug, I hope Hugo gets hold of you one day and does to you what I saw him do to Concrete Cowboy one night in Ripley, MS, a couple of years back. Then maybe you will shut up. Hogo is certainly not a jobber. He has worked for organizations all over the country and overseas. He is not stupid nor is he a back yarder.

.

OK, on to other subjects....

.

I sure do wish that stupid chimp would update his column. If it is not gonna be updated, the Webmaster needs to take it off the site.

.

I have been contacted by an individual who is looking for workers for a show near Dickson, TN. If anyone is interested contact him at chrisshivan@yahoo.com. I assume this is legit. He says the name of the group is Tennessee Wrestling Revolution (TWR).

.

I have read and have also been told that Chris Styles and a couple of others from TFW will be going to Chicago to work on a show for EPW. Congrats, guys.

.

Kudos to MAW, Memphis Wrestling, TLCW, and LAW for joining forces and working together for a worthy cause, Toys for Tots. The event is called Thanksgiving Throwdown and consists of four shows, the first of which is Thursday, November 22, at the National Guard Armory in Dyersburg, TN. Then the following night, Friday, November 23, a show in Rector, AR. Saturday night, November 24, a show in Ripley, TN, and the four day event concludes with a show on Sunday, November 25, at the New Daisy on Beale Street in Memphis. For more information, go to http://www.wrestlingnewscenter.com/. I encourage all of you to attend one or all of these shows if at all possible. It is great to see four wrestling organizations working together. That does not happen very often at all.

.

Changing the subject... Has anyone noticed an improvement in the TNA product lately? Now, I know there are those who do not like TNA. Frankly, I did not really care for TNA until recently. I have noticed a real improvement in their overall product. The last couple of Impact broadcasts have been very good. Their story lines actually make sense now. They have some excellent talent. Their women's division is outstanding. TNA will, I believe, evolve into a top notch wrestling organization, and they will give WWE a real run for the money. Oh, it's true, TNA has made numerous mistakes and struggled big time in the past. They have, however, apparently learned from their mistakes, and it is beginning to show. I thought Thursday's Impact was a tremendous improvement.

.

As I posted Wednesday on the Wrestling News Center, there was major conflict backstage after the Smackdown taping. JBL apparently decided to stick his nose into business that did not involve him when he berated Miz & Morrison for their color commentary work on ECW. He then yelled at them for their in ring work during their match with MVP & Matt Hardy. All of this apparently took place in front of other WWE workers. It's one thing to offer constructive criticism. However, from every account I have read, JBL was way over the line when he did what he did in the way he handled the situation. JBL stuck his nose in where it did not belong and tried to humiliate Miz & Morrison. He should be thankful his nose is not broken.

.

Adam "Pacman" Jones will not be coming back to the NFL early. He must serve the entire suspension. That is good. Why should he be let off easy? He's nothing special.

.

It's time for YOU CAN'T FIX STUPID. This week we focus on a group of first-year students at Texas A&M University's Veterinary school who were receiving their first anatomy class, with a real dead cow. They all gathered around the surgery table with the body covered with a white sheet. The professor started the class by telling them, "In Veterinary Medicine it is necessary to have two important qualities as a doctor. The first is that you not be disgusted by anything involving the animal body. For an example, the Professor pulled back the sheet, stuck his finger in the butt of the dead cow, withdrew it and stuck it in his mouth. "Go ahead and do the same thing," he told his students. The students freaked out and hesitated for several minutes. But eventually took turns sticking a finger in the anal opening of the dead cow and sucking on it. When everyone finished, the Professor looked at them and said, "The second most important quality is observation. I stuck in my middle finger and sucked on my index finger. Now learn to pay attention." Hmmm... College is tough. It's even tougher if you're stupid, lol.

.

That's all for this week.

.

We're one column closer to the final one!

The Axeman Speaks 11-02-07

The opinions expressed in this column do not necessarily reflect the opinion of Hollywood Jimmy Blaylock, the Webmaster, or anyone else connected with this site. They are mine, and mine alone. If you agree with me, OK, and if you don’t, that’s OK. The fact is, when Axeman writes it, you read it, and that’s what counts. So, love me or hate me, here we go….

I have a confession to make. Now, Jimmy may get heartburn when I say this, but I am gonna say it anyway. I am a frequent reader of RasslinRiot. Yes, I read the stuff on BT's site several times a week. So, imagine my surprise when I read the following in BT's latest column:

.

.

"THUMBS DOWN: To the other guys that try to do “news” sites. They don’t do retractions and seem to believe anything they are told. And, damn, they say “imitation” is the greatest form of flattery, but when the hell are you guys going to stop copying EVERYTHING this site does???"

.

.

Now, I may be wrong, but it seems to me that BT is taking a shot at this site. It would seem that BT is accusing hollywoodjimmy.com of copying "EVERYTHING" his site does. Well... I am not the owner of this site, nor am I the Webmaster, so I speak for only myself here. I am giving only my opinion. I don't think this site has copied anything.

.

.

Long before BT created rasslinriotonline.com, this site was the #1 wrestling site in this area. We had a message board. We had columns. We had year end awards (Axeman's Year End Awards). We had interviews (In the Spotlight debuted in 2003).

.

.

A couple of years ago BT decided he wanted a wrestling site. He started rasslinriotonline.com. Soon he had the site up and running. He soon had a message board. He got some people to do columns. He has year end awards. He has even had interviews. Who copied who?

.

.

A major feature on BT's site was the news board. It was a good idea. And it was successful. A while back Jimmy & Tia decided it would be a good idea to have a news board on this site. Now, you might say that they copied BT when they started wrestling News Center. I don't think so. Wrestling News Center is formatted quite differently from the news board at rasslinriotonline.com. The main difference between the two is that Wrestling News Center was started with the intention of eventually separating it from hollywoodjimmy.com and making it a separate site. This is now a reality, and the separation of the two sites will soon be completed. If you don't believe me, go to http://www.wrestlingnewscenter.com/. Hollywoodjimmy.com will have a link to the news site, but the two sites will be separate.

.

.

Bottom line: I fail to see why BT is getting so worked up. He is doing his thing. Jimmy and Tia are doing theirs. The projects are separate products, similar in some ways and different is some ways. Both are frequently being changed, upgraded, and improved. For the life of me, I fail to see the problem. Of course, BT could be jealous, but I would hate to think so.

.

.

That's all for now.
