The Axeman Speaks, June 25, 2008

My Grandson, Isaak

Greetings, friends! It has been quite a while since my last column. After being silent for several months and not liking it one bit, and because the guy who was supposedly writing the column that replaced this column seems to have dropped off the face of the Earth, and because several of my friends have been trying to convince me to start writing Axeman Speaks again, I have decided to bring the column back for another run. So, ready or not, here we go!
.
First the old disclaimer: 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 agree, oh well....
.
I cannot believe all the stuff I have read on Hollywood's message board. That board is nothing but a haven for those who like to start trouble and bash others anonymously. After all these years a couple of anonymous chicken shit cowards are still bashing TFW. Hey, morons, get a life! TFW is here to stay. TFW has out lasted DCW, XOW, DWA, EWW, JWS. and a bunch of others. TFW is alive and well. They're not going anywhere. They are here to stay. If you don't like what TFW does, nobody is forcing you to go to their shows. Nobody is forcing you to work for them. Stay home! That's fine with us!
.
The naysayers are even bashing Kenny Valiant and All Pro Wrestling. Are you people freakin' crazy? Kenny has been involved in pro wrestling since before a lot of you out there were born. He is a top notch promoter. His shows draw well. His shows are always entertaining. He gives the people their money's worth. Are you so jealous of Kenny and the success he has that you have to hide behind a keyboard and bash him? You people are pathetic.
.
That brings us to those same people, who have started bashing JWS in Booneville. You can shut up, too. The fact is, JWS is history. It is no secret that Edith Poole is the new owner and promoter in Booneville, and that her organization will be called Extreme Pro Wrestling, or EPW for short. One or two anonymous idiots are already bashing her and her group, when they haven't even had their first show yet! Like it or not, Edith is going to do well, so say what you will, good things are ahead in Booneville.
.
I see where Lord Hugo and Lady Vixen are having a war of words on the board. You two voices from the past need to keep it to yourselves. It's old news.
.
OK, enough about the crap on the message board. On to other things....
.
Let's talk about the recent WWE draft. There is some good, some bad, and some stupidity in what was done.
.
Rey Mysterio moved to RAW. This was a good move. He had run his course on Smackdown, and it appeared that they really had nothing for him there. He is a very popular wrestler with the fans and will do well on RAW and help their ratings.
.
Jeff Hardy moves from RAW to Smackdown. Jeff Hardy will do well wherever he goes, and RAW's loss is Smackdown's gain. He will help ratings.
.
CM Punk from ECW to RAW... Well, I am NOT a CM Punk fan. I don't think he did anything for ECW and I don't think he will do anything for RAW. OH, they have put a belt on him already, but I don't look for him to keep it for long. Then he will be dead weight.
.
Matt Hardy to ECW is a good move. Matt may bring some excitement into a lackluster ECW.
.
Jim Ross from RAW to Smackdown.... Most people are saying that this was a bad and stupid move on WWE's part. While I happen to agree that the stupid way it was handled was an insult and a slap in the face to JR, I also think it was a good move for all parties concerned. Here's why: At some point in the not so distant future, WWE is going to stop taping Smackdown and do the show live. JR is a veteran with much experience doing live broadcasts. JR will be an asset and a big help when SD goes live. He has always, and will continue, to do more than his part to help carry the company to bigger and better things - for the next year and a half - until his contract with WWE runs out. I don't look for JR to stay with WWE longer than that.
.
Michael Cole from SD to RAW will prove not to be the best move for WWE to have made. Cole does a decent job, but I do not feel that he and Jerry Lawler will be a very good team. Maybe I'm wrong. We'll see....
.
Batista from SD to RAW is a good move. RAW needed a fresh face or two and it will prove to be a win-win situation for all.
.
Umaga from RAW to SD... Well... I like it simply because I rarely get to see SD, and I do watch RAW every week, and now I will not have to see Umaga every week. Umaga is talented, don't misunderstand, but it is always the same with him, week after week after week. WWE is going to change his character up some, so it will be interesting to see how the new Umaga evolves and how well the new character is accepted.
.
Kane from ECW to RAW will help RAW's ratings in the next few weeks, but on the long haul, he will not be that big a boost.
.
Mr. Kennedy from RAW to SD will apparently not do anyone any good. I don't really think WWE has any more for him on SD than they did on RAW. I just don't see a big push coming,
.
Triple H from RAW to SD was the big surprise of the draft. Triple H will do what he was sent to SD to do, and that is boost ratings and bring some excitement to SD, but do not look for him to stay there for very long. I look for him to be back on RAW in about a year.
.
One move in the supplemental draft that I do not understand is Trevor Murdoch to SD. Why move him to SD if you have nothing for him? Why not just release him? Makes no sense to me.
.
I'll tell you what else is dumb, and that's the Vince McMahon injury angle. How many times will Vince do himself in? If he wanted to stop giving away a million dollars a week, he should have just STOPPED. The angle is stupid. Maybe Vince just wanted some vacation time... It's just stupid.
.
There is a wrestling organization in North Mississippi that is going to change the face of wrestling in this area in a good way very soon. Memphis Ladies Wrestling is the group I am talking about, and you should expect big things from them!
.
The Hogan saga is getting more bizarre every day. Nick is in jail, Brooke is not speaking to her mom because her mom is dating someone Brooke went to high school with, Linda wants Hulkster arrested for stalking, Hulk wants to make a reality TV show out of Nick's "adventures," - what a dysfunctional family they are! They are all candidates for the Springer show! What a disgrace!
.
Candice Michelle has a new look! Now, she was always a gorgeous woman, but her new shorter hair makes her look even better. There is a picture of the "new" Candice posted at wrestlingnewscenter.com. Check it out!
.
Michael Hayes has returned to work at WWE after his suspension for making racist remarks to Mark Henry, among others. Has Hayes learned his lesson? Well, I don't think the ordeal has changed the way Hayes feels. I do hope it has taught him to keep his feelings to himself. We'll see.
.
And now... Here's the latest news about Hollywood Jimmy Blaylock:
.
Hollywood and his wife wanted to join a church. The pastor told them, "We have special requirements for new parishioners. You must abstain from sex for one whole month." They agreed and, after two-and-a-half weeks, returned to the Church. When the Pastor ushers them into his office, his wife is crying, and Hollywood is obviously very depressed. "You are back so soon. Is there a problem?" the pastor inquired. "We are terribly ashamed to admit that we did not manage to abstain from sex for the required month," Hollywood replied sadly. The pastor asked him what happened. "Well, the first week was difficult. However, we managed to abstain through sheer willpower. The second week was terrible, but with the use of prayer, we managed to abstain. The third week, however, was unbearable. We tried cold showers, prayer, reading from the Bible, anything to keep our minds off carnal thoughts. One afternoon, my wife reached for a can of paint and dropped it. Then she bent over to pick it up. I was overcome with lust and had my way with her right then and there," admitted Hollywood, shamefacedly. "You understand this means you will not be welcome in our church," stated the pastor. "We know." said Hollywood, hanging his head. "We're not welcome back at Home Depot, either."
.
That's all for now, Axmaniacs! More to come in a few days.

The Axeman has spoken.
