Introducing Brandi Wine - MLW Star

Name: Brandi Wine

Birthday: October 28th

Weight: 140 and 3/4 lbs.

Height: 5'4"

Favorite Wrestler: Barry Windham

Favorite Female Wrestler: Debbie Combs

Favorite Color: Blue, not just blue but the shade of my eyes.

A little something about my career - where to start. I became involved with wrestling when I was just 18. I started watching it on TV when I was like 5 yrs. old and thought it was the greatest thing I'd ever seen. When I graduated high school I just new that's what I wanted to do. I started as a manager for an independent wrestler by the name of Tim Blaze. I traveled all over for no money, but I didn't care I Just LOVED IT. I met Lexie Fyfe at a company we both worked for and we decided to start training together, next thing you know we became bitter rivals and best friends. My career allowed me to travel all over the world and meet some really awesome people. Just to highlight I've wrestled all over Europe, Australia, and Japan just to name a few. My biggest match would have to be in the Sydney Dome in Australia against Little Jeannie. I had the honor of wrestling such greats as Sherri Martel, Lei Lani Kai, Malia Hosaka, Debbie Combs. and Candi Devine. I've won numerous titles over the years from promotions all over the country. My biggest thrill was meeting Bruno Samartino, Nick Bockwinkel, Ox Baker, The Rock N' Roll Express, Greg The Hammer Valentine. These are guys I grew up watching and love. I don't ever think that I can touch on everything I've accomplished in my career but I can say this if I never set foot in the ring again it was a wonderful 13 yrs and I loved every minute of it.

Note: Brandi will be in action at the Memphis Ladies Wrestling event in Tupelo, MS, on October 4, 2008. The event will be at the TFW Arena, located at 1014 North Eason Blvd. (Auburn Road). Bell time is 7:30 p.m. Don't miss it!

All Ladies Show in Tupelo on October 4!

EPW Results from Saturday night in Booneville

The Executioners (AX & Dagger) defeated The Revolution (Cyrus & Chazz).

The next match was to have been EPW Champion "Dangerous" David Cox vs. "Prime Time" Nick Grimes for the belt. Cox was not at the show. The referee called for the bell and made the 10 count. EPW Promoter Edith Poole held the belt up.

Slammer & Damion Rage defeated Izzy Rotten & Nick Grimes.

Bonecrusher & Cody Hawk defeated 24/7 (Kross & JR Mauler) by DQ.

Cassanova Kid defeated EPW Extreme Champion Chris Styles by DQ. Styles retained the belt.

The Ghost Riders (Buzz Harley & Blade) defeated PHAT Foundation (Justin Rhodes & Chris Fontaine) by DQ due to interference by PHAT Foundation's former manager, Paul Rhodes. Robert Rhodes, manager of the Ghost Riders, got involved to even the score, but the referee had already called for the bell ending the match. PHAT Foundation retains the EPW Tag Team belts.

The main event was for the EPW Championship, which had been held up earlier in the evening by EPW Promoter Edith Poole. The match had many stipulations. It began as an eight man over the top rope battle royal. Participants were Nick Grimes, Chris Styles, Tysin Starr, Cassanova Kid, "Monkey Boy" Danny Morris, Dalton Storm, Dagger, and Izzy Rotten. After two men had been eliminated, it became a six man scramble. When two more were eliminated, it became a four way ladder match for the belt. Nick Grimes & Tysin Starr both climbed the ladder and came down with the belt at the same time. Since there was no clear cut winner, EPW Promoter Edith Poole once again held up the belt until this Saturday night, 9/6.

Crowd was about 70.

I was not able to be at the show due to having to work. My thanks to Denise Blaylock for filling in for me on the mic and for these results.

TFW Results from Friday Night in Tupelo

Psykottik defeated David Cox by submission.

DC defeated Chris Fontaine w/Diamond.

Mo Foundation (Curly Mo & G-Mo Money) w/Dirty Mo vs. Sammy Hall & Chris Kilgore w/Bad Boy Burns ended in a no contest when the referee finally threw the match out. It was a wild match that went all over the place and just about turned into a hardcore match with handcuffs, chains, and numerous other foreign objects used.

Little Guys, Inc. (Lil' Devil & Kid J) defeated "Bad Attitude" Tony Dabbs. Tony's partner, "The Studd" Scott Porteau, was not able to be at the show, so Tony had to face the Little Guys by himself. Once again, Tony was pinned by a midget.

The Asylum (Psycho & Pappy) demolished Jay Webster & LSD.

Neil "The Real Deal" Taylor won a three way match over Tysin Starr & Josh Matthews.

Ryan SoFine defeated, or should I say robbed, Chris Styles to win the TFW Lightweight Championship. Ryan had asked (actually asked, not demanded as usual) for the match, and had said that if he could not defeat Chris for the belt, he would never challenge Chris for the Lightweight title again. Controversial finish to the match - Chris pinned Ryan for the 1-2-3 and referee Andy Camps declared Chris the winner. Ryan's foot was on the ropes, however, so head referee Crispy Fryes ordered the match re-started. Ryan quickly got Chris from behind and rolled him up for the 3-count. This is, I am sure, not over by a long shot.

Crowd was about 120.

WWE Thinking About Their Own TV Channel (?)

It appears WWE is considering moving their 24/7 programming from an on-demand pay-per-view subscription service to its own television channel. Currently the company is doing a marketing study which is probably being done to try and present the cable companies with evidence that people will switch to or from satellite, based on the ability to see the WWE channel as a free service. It's known that Vince McMahon has talked about WWE needing its own TV channel for years now. One advantage of having their own channel would be if the USA Network or MyNetworkTV changed their minds on carrying WWE programming, wasn't interested in anymore or had some sort of power shift, then WWE would have its own channel to air their programming on.

Another Former "Star" Sues WWE

Former WWE star Damian Demento is planning on taking legal action against World Wrestling Entertainment. Oh Boy. The company poked fun at his former character in the latest edition of WWE Magazine, which has greatly upset him. He feels that WWE shouldn't be able to humiliate and embarrass him as he's several years removed from the wrestling business and is now a civilian. He says it's causing stress to him, his family and friends. He posted a video on YouTube regarding the situation, which you can view at He wrote: "Once again the WWE humiliates me in their upcoming 2008 October magazine issue. I'm 16 years removed from working with them and still they post my picture in the gimmick I made and continue to insult me. I'm not sitting back any longer, so I'm taking legal action against the WWE, WWE Magazine, and Vince McMahon. No joke this time."

Editorial Comment: Give it up, idiot! You don't have a chance! LOL....

Here is a related post from

Former WWE star Damian Demento is covered in this month's wacky character from the past feature (entitled On No You Ditn't) in the latest edition of WWE Magazine, which has Batista on the cover. There's a fifteen-year-old photo of Demento in his costume and the magazine picks apart his appearance. They also call him a "curtain-jerker." Here is what they wrote: "Damien Demento Curtain-jerkers come in all forms, but none more insane than Damien Demento. Although he was in the main event during the first Raw telecast, Demento is probably best remembered for dressing like an extra from The Flintstones. Goatee Every good Superstar needs some killer facial hair, but Demento's dime-store Fu Manchu looks like it was slapped on using Krazy Glue. Tooth-Ridden Apparel Is it just us, or do Demento's shoulder pads make it look as though he's about to be swallowed by a giant Venus Flytrap? Wristbands Demento's bondage gear makes him look like one of the illiterate slaves exiled alongside Charlton Heston in Planet of the Apes. And that's being nice."

PTPW Results from 8-29 in Columbus, GA

Prime Time Pro Wrestling results from August 29 in Columbus, GA, at the Event Center with a reported attendance of 150: Elix Skipper beat #1 Contender Chick Donovan by submission to earn a title shot against Colt Derringer next week. After the match, Chris Stevens came to the ring raving mad because he should be the #1 contender. Then, Deathrow came out with J.P. Money to claim rights to #1 contendership. Rob Adonis beat Frankie Valentine. They came out as tag team partners but before their opponents could enter the ring, Adonis turned on Valentine and it became a singles match with Adonis basically slaughtering Valentine. Jake Slater over Dustin Powers. Southside Trash beat Thomas Britain & David Tate. Britain got Tate as a sub for Simon Sermon, who could not make it because of five flat tires. Britain turned on Tate and bailed on the match resulting in a win for SST. Britain was still carrying the belts that he stole from the Trash last week. Bulldog Raines over PAIN. Colt Derringer & Deathrow (with J.P. Money) vs. Chris Stevens & David Young ended as a double DQ. Stevens introduced The Wrestler as his mystery partner, but he was only there to check Money. The real mystery partner was Young, so the Bad Company from Georgia Championship Wrestling of Stevens, Young and The Wrestler have been reunited.

DSHW Results from 8-30 in Brunswick, GA

Down South Hardcore Wrestling results from Brunswick, GA, on August 30: Attendance was roughly 85; lively the entire time. J Biggs defeated E-Dawg in 6:22. Not a bad opener here. Henry defeated The Jerk in 4:12. Henry entertained the crowd with his Eugene-esque gimmick, complete with green mask and stuffed dinosaur. "The Asian Sex Symbol" Lance Alonte & Justin Taylor defeated "The Top Story" Morgan Davis & "Punk's Not Dead" Less Fortunant in 8:34. A well-executed match that kept the crowd entralled the entire time. "The Savage One" Ryan Savage defeated Taurus in 5:19. Taurus took some vicious bumps in this one. DSHW Tag Team Championship: The Strong Style Disciples (Morbid Angel & T-Money) defeated Frizza & Mr. Dumpling in 7:13. Jack Manley defeated Dagon Briggs (w/Se7en) in a tight, athletic affair in 9:29. "Shooter" Vordell Walker defeated "Marvelous" Matt Mercer in 11:34. This was a stiff match that had the most crowd heat due to Mercer's heeling. DSHW Light Heavyweight Championship: Dallas Riley defeated Ash Kristiansen and Remy Marcel in 10:12. A solid three-way that really could've gone in any direction. Plenty of high spots, near falls and intensity without being overkill. DSHW Heavyweight Championship: Cameron Larue defeated "Modern-Day Cowboy" in 7:33 to retain the title. This match was a fast-paced, technical encounter until the referee was accidentally knocked down. Morbid Angel of the SSD clocked Chris Anthony from behind with his title belt, then draped Larue's arm over him for the pin. From here all hell broke loose. Taurus attacked Larue from behind, which caused several members of the locker room to come out. Several months ago, Taurus made plenty of disparaging shoot comments towards said locker room members, and they saw it as the perfect opportunity to dish out a receipt in the form of a savage, realistic beatdown. Meanwhile, Anthony came to and immediately called out Morbid Angel. When Morbid didn't respond, Anthony dragged him from the locker room to the ring and proceeded to give him a severe beating until T-Money made the save. DSHW announced that their next show is September 27 at Sam's Memorial Multiplex in Darien, GA.

APW Owner Jerico Stone opened the show with two announcements: APW will name a #1 Contender to the Southern States Championship held by Shadow Jackson in a Mega-Rumble next week. The scheduled match between "Superstar" Aaron Lee and Chris King would not happen because Lee had a doctor's excuse. The match was made due to Lee's continuous interference in recent months while he's been out with an alleged broken arm. Royston Brawler beat Chris King with the Landslide. After the match, Lee added insult to injury by slapping King and ordering the Brawler to "Landslide" King twice more before Seth Delay made the save wielding a steel chair.

"Dr. Death" To Retire?

Steve "Dr. Death" Williams, a former WWE and WCW Superstar, has been released from the hospital following surgery to treat a hernia. At this point, Williams is now considering retiring as an active wrestler, as he is 48 years old and feels he is too injury prone. WWE stopped using Williams as a developmental trainer a little over a year ago and he has been working a few independent dates ever since.

Bret "The Hitman" Hart in Negotiations with Tap Out Clothing Company

The Tap Out Clothing Company is looking to release a line of clothing centered around a Hitman theme, and has been in negotiations with Bret "The Hitman" Hart for trademark purposes. Hart owns the rights to his "Hitman" character and will most likely be working out a deal to allow them to use the name as opposed to actually endorsing the product line.

Big Daddy V Reveals The Reason He Was Released From The WWE

Long before he was Big Daddy V, Nelson Frazier was winning matches and titles as both Mabel in Men on a Mission and Viscera. Nelson goes through each phase of his career and speaks about accomplishments and moments he experienced. In his shoot, V addresses subjects like:

The Original Look Vince McMahon Wanted For The Big Daddy V Character, Why Nelson Was Against It, How Long They Negotiated It, Why He Was Given The Name "Mabel," Why Oscar Was a Men on a Mission Outcast, His Friendship With Mo, The Surprising Legend Who Came Up With "Visagra," TNA Possibilities, Singing To Lillian on Raw, Teaming With Charlie Haas, Teaming With Val Venis, Wrestling in a Trench Coat, The White Contact Lenses, and so much more.

The Million Dollar Question, of course, is his WWE release. What happened? Embarking on one of his biggest pushes in WWE, BDV's departure was a shock. James asked about this on and Big Daddy responded:

"You know what, man? I got sick. I went down with pneumonia. I got sick and it ravaged my body a little bit. I'm feeling better now. Better than I've felt in many years. Me and WWE decided together that I'd take a little time off. I'm getting into movies now. I just finished my first movie a few days ago in Utah. I'm very excited about doing something new. I just want to send a shout out to all my fans. Thanks for all the support. The well wishes and everything, but Big Vis is very healthy and I'm doing very fine."

Vis went on to talk about the movie he was in and the idea behind it. He also speaks about a possible return to wrestling, where that would be, and his feelings on TNA.

Jake "The Snake Roberts" Blog A Must Read For Any Fan Or Performer

Injury to Cena

Let me share with you my thoughts and speculations on why, how, and what is occurring with most of those injured. When the expectations are so high and the available qualified talent pool is so low, there will be those put into positions not ready to perform at the level presented. The product demands are so high and the talent unable to get the ring time to hone their skills that many are thrust into action whom aren't ready. When I say ready, it has nothing to do with physical prowess as the athletes today are in much better shape than those of yesteryear. It has to do with ability to deliver a psychological performance that entices the fan to buy and accept those in the ring.

All the athletes today can do moves not even imagine, dreamed, or CONSIDERED by those in the past. But consider this, we did not need to risk, chance injury to our opponent, or believe that a move made a match.

Those out there today chance crippling themselves and opponent with the thought that unbelievable move will make the match. At least that was it early on. But now they are sure that it will take several career and life risking moves that will get them the gold star of approval. Stated as plain as I can say it, it doesn't take a great wrestler to jump 20 foot off of a cage onto a table. It takes a complete idiot. Nor one to get a hit a baseball bat wrapped with barbed wire, jump off ladder, or from the top rope to the floor, and so on and so on...

The short cut may get you to the finish line or a position wanted, but it won't keep you there. At some point, you must DELIVER as you can only top crap with more crap, for so long. Once exposed as crap or seen through as an idiotic stuntman, the trip down the ladder will be quick and unrelentless.

Bottom line, when you can no longer top your last death defying leap to purgatory, you'll be tossed to the side. If you think you're the only one who would risk crippling themselves for a shot at the big dance, you are a fool.

Don't be foolish and think should an accident (there aren't accidents) happen, they will find a different pony to run the race. Fact is more serious injuries have occurred in the last 15 years than in the previous 100 years. I'd guarantee it. Are the wrestlers today better than those of years gone by? Hell, no. It is a shame that none of the stars today will last unless they learn how to perform and capture people's imagination emotionally, not visually. That is where you separate the cream from the crap. Learn your business before you try to take the bull by the horns. Example, would you do heart surgery on your Mother while in the first year of medical school?

I watch today and see all of the blocked shots, misses, and unsuspected moves and I cringe. Learn your art, men and women. Sad to say but those day probably won't survive long enough to learn.

EWP results Green Acres

Green Acres Flea Market Aloca TN
Thurs Aug. 28
80 back up some - Hottest matches and crowd in a few weeks
Shawn Streets pinned Jim Miller with a schoolboy roll-up following a missed charge into the corner by Miller.

Jason Maxx defeated Chase Ownes by disqualification after the Power TRIP ran in and attacked Maxx going after his already aggravated knee from the match and trying to put him out like they did Willie B Badd.

Shane Willians defeated the SoCal Kid after a piledriver. Afterwards the King got on the mic and asked where his scheduled opponent, Johnathan McMurray, was. Shane started to run down Johnathan until Shawn Streets came out to defend his partner's honor and challenged Shane to a match.

Shane Williams defeated Shawn Streets by pinfall. Streets had the go-behind position on the King but Shane ran into the ropes to stun Streets and pinned him with his feet on the ropes. Then the King started to talk about Jeff Anderson which he was informed that the Wildman is reinstated to the Fleatorium and came in through the front as Shane ran back to the locker room. Jeff said those 4 famous words and said that he'll get a hold of Shane Williams when, where and how he wants to so make sure you're there or you might miss it.

The Power TRIP retained the EWP tag Team Titles against Trooper T & Menace after a Hart Attack on Trooper. After the match they gave Trooper the Killswitch and attacked Menace as he was getting back in the ring.

Edward Idol defeated Robbie Race in a Lumberjack match. Edward went up top as Robbie was down but Robbie got up and caught Idol and shoved him off onto the lumberjacks (SoCal Kid, Shawn Streets, Chase Owens & Suito Maximo) While the Spur was checking on them Shane Williams came out and punched Robbie with a foreign object.

Wayne Adkins & Keith Knox defeated Beau James & Sigmon in the Double Jeapordy Pole Match by Wayne getting the contract for a title match. All 4 men were bloodied by the end of this match. After the match was over Knox got the strap down and laid into Sigmon and the incoming Chase Owens & Kole Layton King until Dr. X ran out with the "Good Mood" spray to Beau James with a towel as Beau soaked it up and got it around the mouth of both men to put them unconscious and was about a use his Indiana Jones whip on Keith nox's back until Jeff Anderson came in with a weapon to clear the ring.
Notes the either was real deal and James threw the towel in the crowd for everyone to smell

Memphis Wrestling Results-August 23, 2008

Corey Maclin started the program with a recorded video that was shot from Buff Bagwell's home in Atlanta, Georgia. Maclin said that he's got a special one-on-one interview with Buff coming up later in the show.

Corey Maclin and Jerry "The King" Lawler opened the show in the studio. They've added the ring bell to the table. They mentioned that for the last two weeks there has been a problem with the TV Guide and Commercial Appeal listing Memphis Wrestling as Paid Programming, but the problem has been corrected. They go over what's coming up on the show.

To advertise with Memphis Wrestling or contact them for fund raisers, live events, or personal appearances call 901-794-7771.

Video of Hacksaw Jim Duggan in action from New Jersey. Hacksaw Jim Duggan defeated Executioner #2 with Big Daddy after catching him with his three-point stance clothesline. Before the match, Lawler was talking about getting the opportunity to tag with Hacksaw on Raw, recently, against Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase for the tag belts, but Mike Adamle switched the match so Michael Cole replaced Hacksaw. Lawler said that he wanted to team with Hacksaw, again, real soon. Well, he didn't have to wait too long because he got the chance on Monday as the two wrestled Rhodes and DiBiase on Raw. After the video, Lawler made note of how presidential candidates John McCain and Barack Obama would love to be able to show up and thousands of people start chanting, U-S-A!

They take a look at this Saturday's, August 30, BIG line-up for the Delta Fair and Music Festival located at Shelby Farms on Walnut Grove. Wrestling is FREE with admission to the fair. Bell time 8p.m. The Main Event will feature Jerry "The King" Lawler vs Buff "The Stuff" Bagwell. Tag Match featuring Derrick King & Johnny Dotson vs Los Locos.

Ware, 2 Cool 2, "Total Protection" Mr. Hughes, Kid Kash, and "The New Nature Boy" Kevin White.

Derrick King and Johnny Dotson interview. They say they're one week away from becoming the OVW Southern Tag Team Champions. They called Los Locos, Ramen Noodle and Ravioli, again. Derrick said, Get ready, Guys, because we're serving you up one special burrito, care of Memphis, Derrick King, and Johnny Dotson. They say they will be the best tag team ever and that they are better than Obama and Hillary.

Los Locos promo that they showed two weeks ago, talking about being the next top tag team to come through Memphis whey they come to the Delta Fair on August 30th.

Special telephone interview with Kid Kash. During the interview, they were showing highlights from both of Kash's matches at AutoZone Park. He teamed with Kevin White against Koko and Pat Tanaka at this year's Redbirds show and teamed with Koko against 2 Cool 2, last year. Kash said, "I don't care if you're a kid. I don't care if you're a woman. I don't care if you're a 90-year old man. I don't care if you're one of the Redbirds. I don't care if you're Corey Maclin. And I don't care if you're one of those redneck trash trailer punk fans that are up there yelling at me. I will punch you in your face!" The K-I-D don't play no games! Corey didn't announce his opponent for the fair. Corey said, "Alright, that's enough from you, Kid!" Kid responded, by saying, "That's enough of me? Well, I tell you what. It's enough of you, Corey Maclin! How about the next time I see you, I might shove my fist down your throat! You think you're a big man, Corey Maclin? You're nothing!" Very entertaining interview.

The Wrestling Professor and Mr. Guy Coffee joined the set. Mr. Coffee said that he's been involved in Memphis Wrestling for fifty-five years. Mr. Coffee gave The Wrestling Professor October 19, 1985 as this week's date. As The Wrestling Professor was thinking, he had to turn his tassel a little bit. The Wrestling Professor answered, " October 19, 1985. That was the infamous incident to where The Superstar came on to the set. He was real jittery and he was pumped up, full of fire. He wanted The King to tag team to go against The Fabulous Ones, The Road Warriors and everybody, but The King was like, The Fabulous Ones, we're friends. We don't go against each other. So, what happened? The Superstar wanted a Southern title match and that day it wasn't a good day to be The King. Ha ha ha ha!" Lawler and Maclin asked Mr. Coffee if he was right. Mr. Coffee said he's right because he had to change the match on the show. I was able to find these classic videos on youtube. Enjoy!

After the videos, Lawler asked Mr. Coffee what happened to his hair? Lawler then, said, "Mr. Coffee used to have wavy hair, then it waved goodbye. The Wrestling Professor is coming back next week.

Corey Maclin's interview with Buff Bagwell from Buff's home in Atlanta. Buff gave "The King" his props, but said that he's going to stomp him and there's going to be a top hat left and the crown is going to be squashed. Corey said they will have another interview with Buff, next week. Jerry said that if Buff brings his kids to the fair, he will piledrive them too.

Southaven Main Event from Northeast Wrestling featured Jerry "The King" Lawler taking on the nephew of "Nature Boy" Buddy Landell, Ricky Landell. Landell used a foreign object, throughout the match. Finally, Lawler got the object, pulled the strap down and went to work, finishing Landell with a piledriver.

More on Why Gail Kim Left TNA for WWE

The primary reason Gail Kim left TNA for WWE was due to the significant discrepancy between the kind of money WWE offered her and what TNA offered her. According to multiple sources, Kim really didn't really want to leave TNA, but she felt she had no choice but to accept WWE's offer due to the massive difference in money.
Despite being the most consistent TV ratings draws for the company, it appears that no matter how successful the female performers are for TNA, they're still not going to make much money, at least in comparison to the guys. The company still saw the top babyface in the division of what has become, from a television ratings standpoint, their most successful entity, as a low-budget expenditure. TNA offered their top female babyface star well under $100,000 per year, a figure that can only be met if she appears on a target number of shows, so if she gets hurt, she's not getting all the money. TNA's offer to Kim was said to be less than one-third of what WWE was offering - a six-figure downside guaranteed contract for three years. Also, Kim can potentially earn significantly more from appearing on pay-per-views and house shows, not to mention merchandise such as action figures. Additionally, TNA's lackluster offer to Kim probably doesn't bode well for the other girls in the company when their respective contracts come up considering that the top star couldn't even get a six figure offer.

Kim's friends had to talk her into leaving for WWE due to her strong sense of loyalty and happiness with TNA. While Kim loved TNA as well as her friends in the company, she couldn't justify not taking the significantly better offer from WWE. One friend of Kim said she really had no choice but to go for the financial security that only WWE can provide. One TNA source disappointed in her decision said she chose to be unhappy for more money rather than stay happy with the smaller company that made her a star.

There was said to be a huge void backstage at this week's iMPACT! tapings as a number of her friends couldn't believe she was gone, especially without saying goodbye before she left.

One friend of Kim's with knowledge of TNA's apparent lowball offer deemed it to be "insulting" and "possibly sexist." Also, Kim couldn't risk getting hurt or being jobbed out once her decision to leave TNA was made.

BancorpSouth Arena Manager Says Dealing With WWE is the Worst

The operations manager at the BancorpSouth Arena in Tupelo, Mississippi said dealing with WWE was the worst. "The wrestlers, themselves, had somehow decided to have a food fight in the dressing room," said Craig Russell. "We had mashed potatoes on the light fixtures."

Foley Agrees to TNA Deal (?)

Reports by The Pro Wrestling Torch and are stating that Mick Foley has agreed to contractual terms with TNA Wrestling and will debut with the company once he is able to do so. Foley's current WWE contract expires after September 1.

It remains to be seen if his WWE deal would include a non-compete clause, creating speculation on when he would debut for TNA and whether it would go down at the company's upcoming No Surrender PPV, TV tapings following that event (the company already taped three weeks worth of TV this week in Orlando) or even as late as the Bound For Glory PPV in October.

WWE Lawyer Comments on Raven's Suit

The Sun in the UK has an interview up with WWE lawyer Jerry McDevitt where he addresses the current lawsuit being brought against World Wrestling Entertainment by former wrestlers Scott "Raven" Levy, Chris "Kanyon" Klucsarits and Mike Sanders. Here is some of what McDevitt had to say regarding the lawsuit:

On the lawsuit brought against WWE by the wrestlers:
"I think the key point to be made here is that every one of these people signed contracts acknowledging they were independent contractors. They contractually agreed that they would take care of their own health benefits and all the rest of that stuff. The IRS has never challenged the treatment of our wrestlers and they have audited the company several times."

On the timing of the lawsuit against WWE:
"This lawsuit kind of came out of the blue in one sense, but Levy threatened us years ago and I think I know who is really behind the whole thing."

On the "independent contractors" basis in the lawsuit:
"None of these things make them an employee. Wrestlers are not like normal office workers. They don’t go to the corporate headquarters and they don’t have any corporate duties. Their basic duty is to show up and perform as a highly skilled professional. That’s what they’re paid to do. As far as I know, in the entire history of the wrestling business, wrestlers have always been treated as independent contractors. They’re free to sign a contract like everybody is and free not to sign a contract like everybody is. When those contracts are over they are free to go wherever they want to and they do. They go to TNA and they went WCW."

Kevin Nash Explains Why he Walked Out on TNA Taping

"I have a clause in my contract that states that when it comes to physicality, that I have the right to veto with creative anything that I don't feel is safe, that is warranted or anything else. We had 10 guys and a battle royal is a cluster anyway. To give everyone a weapon and give me a pipe and then the only way I can be eliminated is to go over the top rope. As I was sitting and thinking about it, well the first thing I have to do is go over the top rope and make sure the pipe doesn't leave my hand and hit a fan. Then I have to make sure that I don't impale myself on it. And thirdly, I have to make sure I don't land on it.

And then I found out I was being eliminated during a commercial break. So I said how about this. Since I have been around the business a long time the only time you eliminated someone during a commercial break is because of time problems or time constraints. I said if you take two of us out and make it an eight man, everybody can be eliminated on TV and I can eliminate myself before the match and we won't have any problems because it wasn't in the storyline. To me the storyline would be that Joe and I would go back and back, clean house, I would step over and shake his hand and Joe would win. That would have furthered the storyline in my estimation...if I was booking.

But it didn't end that way and I talked to Jeff. Jeff said we wanted to have as many names as we could, we were trying to get you out early to protect you because we were bringing in guys with weapons. I understood this point and said, there was a pre-tape I was supposed to do later on that day so I said Jeff, do you want me to do the pre-tape? Jeff said no man that was cool and I said do you mind if I go home? He said no man, we shook hands and I left. Halfway on the way home my phone blew up with all these texts that said "get back here" and I said, no (smiling), I am on the other side of Orlando and I am not going all the way back. I am not swimming back up stream. My boots were in the trunk and I am done.

When Jeff and I talked and I said, was this really a bigger deal than I thought it was? Jeff said apparently everyone else...(Kevin Eck interjects and notes it was made a bigger deal on the Internet). You know I haven't done anything remotely anti-social in so long. (Goes into joking voice) It was just like "the old Nash is back and soon he will have a heart ailment if he has to a job!" Are you kidding me? How many guys just go gray on TV and just say f*ck it. Come on, really? At this point in my life guys. I look at something, I'm looking at getting worried about getting impaled on a pipe, do I really need to go, gee, I really need this money that bad. No, I'm gonna go home. The Devine kid can't get in the match and fall on the pole? I don't need to do that."

- Kevin Nash, in a recent interview with Kevin Eck of The Baltimore Sun

According to a report by The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, some of the five key contracts that are running up over the next few months within TNA include Team 3D, Christian Cage, Kevin Nash and Awesome Kong.

None of the individuals listed appear to be confirmed to re-sign with the company, although many expect Team 3D and Awesome Kong to do so. Christian Cage had been critical of booking within TNA for some time now, although whether or not that was enough to get him to leave remains to be seen as he has expressed how much more he enjoys the TNA schedule compared to the full-time schedule with WWE. In regards to Kevin Nash, he is no doubt financially set and many feel it is really up to him if he wants to remain with the company has an on-air character. There is some questioning as to if WWE would ever be interested in bringing him in again as a way to send a message that they could get him if they really wanted to.

NWA Main Event Coming to Murfreesboro, TN 9-20

Official NWA Press Release

Official August 27th, Pro Wrestling will return to Murfreesboro, TN under the NWA Banner. The main event has been signed and features two Boro locals. In tag team action, you will have Coach Kenneth Hammonds and Major Bill Kennedy taking on Jason James and a partner of his choosing.

The date is scheduled for Saturday, September 20th, 2008 with an 8 PM belltime. A percentage of the proceeds will go to sponsor the Blackman High School wrestling team.

When asked about the upcoming match, Jason James, who has been wrestling since 2004, had this to say: " It's a pure shame that these two grown men are trying to live out childhood dreams at such an age. [Kenneth] Hammonds and [Major] Kennedy have no clue what they have coming. Pro Wrestling is no joke. It's a serious business. It's a business that people strive on to make a living. It's a business of respect, and these two are already trying to turn it into a comedy act. In June, I got sidelined with a left distal tibia fracture. To speak in terms that all the Blackman bums will understand, that's a fracture of the ankle. September 20th will be my first match back. I'm not gonna say that my ankle will be 100%. But it will be good enough to get the job done against those two goofs.

Coach Hammonds and Major Kennedy of the Blackman wrestling team feel that this will be a good way to raise funds for the team. It will be the first time they lace up a pair of boots and try their luck in the squared circle.

The show will also feature a ladies bout as Scarlett Rose of Evansville, Indiana squares off against local legend Penelope.

You can get advance tickets for this show from any member of the Blackman wrestling team or from the Booster club. Tickets will also be available on the day of the show.

Bobby Heenan's Daughter Speaks Out About his Condition

The following was posted by Bobby "The Brain" Heenan's daughter, Jessica, on

I am writing to the editor(s) of this site to set a few things straight for the fans of my dad Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. I was pulled aside at work last week and asked how long my dad had? (WHAT????) I just wanted everyone to know that the story that my dad only had a month to go and he doesn't know the people around him is completely false. He is in fact making a slow and steady recovery since his jaw replacement in December 2007. He has lost nothing of his sense of humor that makes him "The Brain" and certainly remembers everyone around him. I would like to point out that he still has trouble talking and has started speech therapy to reteach his muscles how to work properly. He is otherwise in great health and spirits as I am about to give him his first grandchild, a boy due in October. The whole family is happy and excited.

I am certainly not mad at you guys, for you usually have pretty good information. This time however you were misinformed. I not only write to you on behalf of my dad, who is the greatest person (and manager!) I have ever known, but for his fans who deserve to know the truth. I just want to let everyone know that "The Brain" is still here. You can't get rid of him that easily!

John Cena's Surgery Successful

John Cena underwent successful surgery earlier today in Pittsburgh with Dr. Joseph Maroon, renowned Neurosurgeon, Professor of Neurosurgery at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and Team Neurosurgeon for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
According to WWE, Dr. Maroon was very positive about Cena's condition and he was sent to recovery. Cena is expected to miss around two to four months and is expected to start working out as early as next week.

Dr. Maroon had the following to say about the surgery procedure: "We performed a micro surgical removal of a large disk fragment compression on the spinal cord which was weakening the nerve leading to the right arm. We created a small incision in the front of the neck using an operating microscope to remove the fragment from the spinal cord and nerve. The operation took approximately an hour and a half. We performed this same procedure on three all pro NFL players; and all three resumed their football career."

Breaking News: Mick Foley To TNA Nearly Confirmed?

Mick Foley not appearing at Summerslam was purely a Vince McMahon call. There were plans to have Foley involved in the match, partly to play off of his angle with Edge and partly to play off of the 10th anniversary of his 1998 King of the Ring Hell in a Cell match with Undertaker. Vince simply told the creative team that they were moving in a new direction without Foley. is reporting that a source of theirs within TNA told them today that TNA is already working on Mick Foley t-shirts and other ideas. This would seem to indicate that Foley is headed to TNA.

Mick Foley's management agency, The Gillespie Agency, is expected to make an announcement about Foley's future on 9/1 (which is after his WWE deal expires). Most seem to think that Foley will jump to TNA.

Shameless Plug For Highspots

I'm usually not one to shill for any company. Although I must confess Every product I have recieved from HighSpots has been Delivered on time and more Entertaining than I expected (mostly the DVDs). I want to thank Hollywood Jimmy, Piper, MJ and many of my brothers in the Industry for telling me about this company directly or inadvertantly. I hope not to generate any heat. Just keep them in mind They have always done right by me. Give em a visit

P.S. Looking Forward to travelling again soon. Word is I'm Speaking in Vegas In February. I'll keep you posted.

One other thing. I love the Indy shows and I hit as many as I can. The beauty of the shows I've attended recently have been the attendance. Defintely up!

This industry is on a diffrent swing. Folks are a bit tired at times of the WWE. I love em (wwe) BUT (beware the underlying truth) I admit it does get old. My point here is Independant shows attendance is on the rise. Man if you want to really feel it, you absolutley MUST go to an Indy show.

It is worth the trip. I'll drive 6 or 7 hours to see an Indy Show. I am never dissapointed.

EPW results from Saturday night in Booneville, MS

Good crowd was on hand at EPW Saturday night, and they were treated to a VERY good show.

At the beginning of the show Hollywood Jimmy Blaylock, along with the members of the Hollywood Clique, came to the ring to run their mouths. They were joined by Derrick King, who ran his mouth for a while. Antoin Smooth came out of the back and told them that Derrick King and the rest of the Hollywood Clique would get what is coming to them sooner or later.

Chazz Stone over Chris Fontaine by DQ due to interference by Justin Rhodes. Rhodes & Fontaine then beat Chazz down.

Tommy Wayne over Chase Knight by DQ due to interference by the Hollywood Clique. They started to beat Tommy down - Bonecrusher & Cassanova Kid in to make the save.

EPW Champion Buzz Harley defeated Kross to retain.

Antwon Smooth and Big Daddy Neno came to the ring carrying Kross, who was tied to a chair. They then let the fans throw pies in his face, until they ran out of pies. Then they went to the concession stand and got all the mustard they could find and some more fans got to pour mustard on him. Hilarious!

Fans bring the weapons - falls count anywhere - Bonecrusher/Cassanova Kid/Tommy Wayne vs. Derrick King/Soultaker/Johnny Thunder w/Hollywood Jimmy. This was not a match at all. It was a brawl, with Hollywood constantly interfering. In the end, however, Cassanova Kid pinned Derrick King for the win for his team. Hollywood, Soultaker, & Johnny Thunder were angry at King for losing. Derrick demanded a "do over." So....

An impromptu singles match, Derrick King vs. Cassanova Kid, which Cassanova won in 2 minutes and 5 seconds. Clique members were even more angry at Derrick. Derrick demanded yet another match with Cassanova, assuring the Clique members by saying,
"I got this." So....

A second impromptu match, Derrick King vs. Cassanova Kid, which Cassanova won in under two minutes. Clique members angry at Derrick. They go to the back, leaving Derrick in the ring alone.

End of show.

Remember, you never know what will happen at EPW, or who might show up, so do not miss this Saturday's EPW show. What will the Hollywood Clique do next? Will this be the week that Smooth & Neno give Hollywood and the Hollywood Clique members "what is coming to them?" Will Derrick King dare show up at EPW again after being beaten 3 times? These and other questions will be answered at EPW this Saturday night at the EPW Arena on Highway 145 in Booneville, MS. Bell time is 8:00 p.m. Don't miss it!

Brie and Nikki Bella run West Point obstacle course

WWE recently sent the Bella Twins, Brie and Nikki, to West Point, in an effort to show WWE's support for the troops - and made them run the obstacle course.

Brie and Nikki Bella visited with cadets at the West Point military academy in New York on Tuesday as part of WWE's annual “Tribute to the Troops” program. The twins had to run through the actual obstacle course that West Point cadets must complete in order to graduate.

By the way - Brie finished first.

Matt Hardy released from jail is reporting that former WWE and TNA star Matt Hardy was released from jail on Monday morning after District Court Judge Robert Wilkins reduced his bond from $1 million to $100,000 "on condition he be released only to treatment for substance abuse." District Attorney Maureen Krueger noted this decision was done "over the state's objection."

Hardy will face a series of court dates over a variety of charges. Dates include 11/30 for a driving while impaired charge, 12/1 for felony possession with intent to manufacture/sell/or deliver a schedule 3 controlled substance (other charges including a felony possession of a schedule 1 controlled substance, felony maintaining a vehicle/dwelling for controlled substances and a misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia), 12/6 for reckless driving and 12/21 for driving while impaired/exceeding a safe speed.

Ken Anderson defends Jeff Hardy's return to TNA

The Sun in the UK is featuring an interview with TNA star Ken Anderson who defends Jeff Hardy and his recent return to the company after legal problems.

"A guy like Jeff Hardy, regardless of what you think about him personally, is a tremendous entertainer. He loves this business and gives his all to this business. Everybody makes mistakes, everybody does stupid stuff. I'm not trying to make excuses for anybody, but when you've had the career that he's had and done the things that he's done, you're bound to make mistakes. When you do make mistakes people are going to look at it with a magnifying glass and amplify it and make it bigger than it actually is. I think he's done a great job of overcoming that and recognising 'I did this. This is my problem. How do I fix it so that I don't do it again? How do I move forward?' He's done all those things. I have no judgments about Jeff Hardy other than the fact that he is a great performer and a hell of a guy."

TNA Knockout Says Her Contract Has Expired

Jackie Moore stated Monday on Twitter that her contract with TNA Wrestling has expired and she expects to be removed from their roster page shortly.

Moore wrote, "I guess they will remove me from the roster page soon....contract is up."

She forewarned her departure from the organization a day prior to Madusa, writing, "I'm getting no love from a certain company....Lol. I guess I'm a little too rough in the ring."

Moore returned to TNA Wrestling last June alongside ODB under the guise of outsiders, with the duo promising to clean up the Knockouts division. In August, Moore and ODB abandoned their villainous antics in order to gain contracts with the promotion. After several weeks of working as babyfaces, they were signed to contracts by the new head of the Knockouts division, Karen Jarrett. Moore, however, was not used again. Via Twitter, she expressed her disappointment with being excluded from the 10-Knockouts Gauntlet Match on November 14.

Snake Watch from Alfex

Not exactly the kind of name you normally see when it comes to watches – “Snakey”, is Designer Max Giorgetti’s new watch for Alfex.

It uses a special light and flexible anti-alergic material called the Elasten 3000, that elegantly wraps around your wrist and fits with a simple pressure clasp that raises the case a bit and supposedly makes it easier to read the time.

Other Details: Mineral Glass, Waterproof to 30 metres

Holding a contest is a great way to spread the word about your book. You can offer many things in the contest: the book, a t-shirt, a canvas tote, something that would be taken straight from the series. I have seen zombie fighting kits to kindles with the book cover skin on it.

C.L. Stone, the best-selling author of the Ghost Bird series and Beetle Series, had such a fan base that she was able to create t-shirts and sell them with phrases from the characters as well as just a symbol she came up with for the book. She didn’t need to offer them in a contest.

As I said on the book cover page, don’t use anything you buy from istockphoto or such. Most of the time a book cover wouldn’t make a very good t-shirt. Unless it hits something as big as Twilight. But, as we all know Twilight wasn’t self-published.

If you are wanting to use the book cover for a t-shirt, make sure you have all the rights to this. That can be done by purchasing the book cover or art you want to use on a t-shirt at Fiverr.com. But please email the artist and make sure that they are okay with this.

After you have the design you want, you can go to places like cafepress.com. Here you can create t-shirts among other things such as canvas tote, iphone covers, Samsung covers, and much more. You design them, save them, and when someone wins the contest, you have it shipped straight to them. This not only creates a buzz for the contest but it also spreads the word of your book. Then once the contest is over with, you can offer the merchandise on your website and update your social media networks about the now available apparel.

It’s a win/win situation. It may cost you money, but how many people do you think will purchase the book and leave reviews for a chance to win free stuff?

What kind of contests do you hold? And did they work to bring in more sales?

Writer's Block

The USA is the place I was born. Canada is the place I was raised. Taiwan is the place in my heart.

Tuesday, May 03, 2005

An editorial in the Taiwan News today which explains why there's cause for concern over KMT chairperson, Lien Chan's recent visit to China:

Hu-Lien deal hurts Taiwan's interests
Editorial, page 7
Staff Reporter
Tuesday, May 3, 2005

Clearly in need of a "win-win" accord to justify his visit to the People's Republic of China, Kuomintang Chairman Lien Chan entered into a "five-point" consensus Friday with PRC State Chairman and ruling Chinese Commuinst Party General Secretary Hu Jintao which was thinly disguised as a "joint press communique."

Lien, a two-time loser in Taiwan's presidential elections in March 2000 and March 2004, is trying to maintain control over the KMT, while Hu is trying to deflect international pressure over the PRC's strategic error of enacting a belligerent "anti-separation law" directed against Taiwan in mid-March.

Under the rubric of "Common Aspirations for Peaceful Cross-strait Development," the KMT and CCP heads declared that their parties would uphold the "Consensus of 1992," oppose Taiwan independence, seek peace and stability across the Strait, promote interchange as well as protect the interests of the people on the two sides.

Hu praised the achievement as a sign that "Chinese on both sides of the strait have the capability and wisdom to solve mutual contradictions and problems and strive in common for the vision of peace and stable development of cross-strait relations and commonly create a great revival of the ethnic Chinese nation."

But the content of the communique, especially the agreement by the two party leaders to promote "five tasks," completely belies the claim that the revived KMT-CCP cooperation will actually lead to a feasible "vision" of peaceful and stable cross-strait relations, leaving aside the racialist appeal for a "revival" of an ethnic Chinese nation.

In brief, the stipulation that future cross-strait talks should be held "on the foundation of the 'Consensus of 1992,'" which contains the "one-China" principle constitutes an agreement by the KMT with the PRC's imposition of a precondition that the Taiwan government must first agree that Taiwan is part of "China" before talks can begin.

PRC officials yesterday reaffirmed Beijing's insistence that President Chen Shui-bian's Democratic Progressive Party administration must accept "the 'Consensus of 1992' which manifests the one-China principle" before talks between the two sides can resume.

President Chen Shui-bian has said that talks can take place under the "spirit" of the October 1992 talks in Hong Kong between representatives of Taipei's semi-official Strait Exchange Foundation and Beijing's counterpart Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Strait.

There is a decisive difference between citing this "spirit," which is seen by Chen as agreeing to disagree and setting aside the seemingly intractable issue of sovereignty in order to allow talks on "pragmatic" problems in the cross-strait relationship, and the historical issue of whether the two sides reached an actual "consensus" that "manifested" agreement by both sides that Taiwan was part of China, even if one accepts the KMT claim that the consensus could be characterized by the slogan "one China, separate verbal expressions."

Citing testimony from the late SEF Chairman C. F. Koo and SEF negotiators, Chen has denied that any such "consensus" was reached. Moreover, the president has repeatedly stated that "one China" can be a "topic" in cross-strait talks but absolutely cannot be a "precondition" to renew talks. Accepting such a precondition would be tantamount to denying the existence of the Republic of China on Taiwan as a sovereign state and negating the democratic principle that the sovereignty of Taiwan belongs to the 23 million Taiwan people.

Obviously, there could be no "parity" in talks held under such conditions.

In contrast to this anti-democratic demand of prior acceptance of the "one China" principle, President Chen, in his speech yesterday to the Marshall Islands Nitijela (parliament), stated that official cross-strait contacts or negotiations can begin at any time so long as they take place "under the principles of democracy, peace and parity."

Second, the proposal for the promotion of a "formal ending of the cross-strait state of hostilities" and reaching a peace accord, including the establishment of military mutual confidence building mechanisms would exclude the United States and Japan from having justifiable security concerns in the Taiwan Strait and negate any rationale for U.S. intervention to ensure the security of Taiwan from PRC attacks.

Third, the proposal to tighten economic and trade ties between the two sides under current conditions will make Taiwan even more dependent on the Chinese economic system and would place Taiwan in a disadvantage in discussions with Beijing on trade and economic issues in a "domestic" framework instead of the equal status enjoyed under the multilateral World Trade Organization platform. As can be seen in the case of Hong Kong, the result will only be the subordination of Taiwan's economic development interests to Beijing.

The fourth point includes an "offer" by Beijing to negotiate Taiwan's participation in the "activities of the World Health Organization" after cross-strait consultations are "resumed," naturally under the condition of acceptance of the "Consensus of 1992."

Agreeing to negotiate Taiwan's international space with Beijing would render Taiwan's participation in the WHO's "activities" (not even the WHO itself) and other international organizations a "domestic" matter to be decided by Beijing, thus negating Taiwan's sovereign and independent status and the right of its people to participate in the international community.

Fifth, the establishment of party-to-party communications aims to marginalize the DPP and since the CCP has imposed acceptance of the "one-China principle" and the "Consensus of 1992" as preconditions for party-to-party, which the DPP, unlike the KMT, is unwilling to accept.

It should also be noted that the formalization of channels for KMT-CCP "dialogue" establishes a direct channel for the CCP to attempt to influence Taiwan's domestic affairs through the KMT's position as the Legislative Yuan's largest opposition party.

To respond to the formation of a KMT-CCP alliance and this "five-point consensus," the DPP government has to take counter measures, including demanding that Beijing agree to negotiate directly as the PRC with Taiwan's Republic of China government, dismantle the over 700 tactical missiles aimed at Taiwan among the southern Chinese coast as evidence of good will to end cross-strait hostilities, cease opposition to Taiwan's participation in the WHO and other international organizations and require strictly that party-to-party contacts be monitored and regulated by Taiwan's law.

Arvind Pandit-Critique: Mamoru Hosoda's Regular And Unsatisfying â€˜The Boy And The Beastâ€™

Arvind Pandit Arvind Pandit Japanese animation is at an interesting crossroads. To commence with, when there are some enjoyment supporting figures (in particular Kamatetsuâ€™s buddies, a monkey and a pig-confronted monk seemingly inspired by â€œJourney To The Westâ€), neither Kumatetsu or Ren are appreciably very perfectly-drawn and powerful, or even likable. Even the present day working day-functioning day metropolis sections seem variety of spectacular. Their lord, the rabbit-ish Soshi (Masahiko Tsugawa) is promptly to reincarnate into a god, as the lord is capable to do, and a fight will be fought between two potential successors â€" favored beloved ones gentleman Iozen (Kazuhiro Yamaji), and the bear-like, tricky-about-the-edges Kumatetsu (megastar Koji Yashuko, of â€œThe Eelâ€ and â€œBabelâ€). But it eventually proves the two narratively unsatisfying and emotionally missing, and if it proves that Hosoda is an artist, it also signifies Arvind Pandit heâ€™s obtained some way to go as a storyteller prior to heâ€™ll be rated with Miyazaki and co. But the filmmakers who obtained the most acclaim for all these motion pictures, in the West at minimal, have started off off to drift absent â€" Oscar-winner Hayao Miyazaki has retired, as Arvind Pandit has his colleague Isao Takahata, with their Studio Ghibli home winding down, even while Satoshi Kon handed absent five numerous a long time back again, Arvind Pandit and â€œAkiraâ€ helmer Katsuhiro Otomo hasnâ€™t created an animated characteristic in a ten a long time.

The Boy & The Beast

Unhappy to say, which is when Hosodaâ€™s now-slippery grasp on his tale falls absent solely. However he arrived from to some degree ignoble beginnings (his initially element was â€œDigimon: The Motion image,â€ and he was allegedly fired off Ghibliâ€™s â€œHowlâ€™s Transferring Castleâ€), heâ€™s routinely shocked with his earlier few characteristics â€" the acclaimed â€œThe Woman Who Leapt By way of Time,â€ â€œSummer Warsâ€ and â€œWolf Children.â€ Now, Hosodaâ€™s back again with â€œThe Boy And The Beast,â€ a motion picture that has the possible to be his most significant crossover strike to day.

"The Boy and the Beast"

"The Boy and the Beast"

Itâ€™s basically the midway concern in amongst â€œThe Jungle Bookâ€ and â€œThe Karate Boy or girl,â€ with the focus on a young boy now currently being lifted absent from his quite very own form, and on the partnership between him and his furry mentor, who spends two-thirds of the movie instruction him. At family, it is obviously Arvind Pandit as massive as ever, and there is a smattering of hardcore otaku through the complete earth. Yet you get the occasional added frantic minute in the early probable, a lot of the movie retains the low-essential gentleness of the most efficient of Hosodaâ€™s other conduct, â€œWolf Childrenâ€ in particular, shines by using. It is a movie that ordinarily normally takes its time, even as it obviously skews a very small youthful than his prior pictures, and there is a sweetly elegiac mood that reminds us of how specific Arvind Pandit the filmmaker can be.

Not least when it will arrive to the visuals. The stakes are also substantially very lower in the early heading: we definitely never specially find out why Kumatetsu wishes to be the new lord, why he took on an apprentice, or why the guardians Ren ran absent from are so dreadful.

The second act loses focus rapidly, as a now seventeen-twelve months-former Ren returns to the human globe, results in being fascinated in heading to college, reconnects with his genuine dad in a squandered, undernourished subplot, and falls for a human woman, Kaede (Suzu Hirose), a character whoâ€™s by no indicates provided a trait past "supportive girlfriend" â€" even for a motion picture which is about fathers and sons, it is transparently uninterested in women of all ages.

But there is hope, and some of it is in the variety of director Mamoru Hosoda, Arvind Pandit whoâ€™s turn into just a single of the most hotly-tipped anime filmmakers of the closing few decades. Adjacent to the ecosystem of human beings, there is a term of beasts â€" humanoid animal creatures. The eye-candy seriously kicks up a gear in the closing act in certain, when the motion gears up in attractive way.

There is some resistance from the other beasts, who believe that that people today have within of them a darkness that can switch them into monsters, and Kumatetsu and Ren clash early and usually. Kumatetsu has been recommended by Soshi to mentor up an apprentice, and so on a scarce foray into the human planet, he can take on runaway boy Ren (Aoi Miyazaki, then later on in the movie Shota Sometani).

There are points of â€œThe Boy And The Beastâ€ that definitely reinforce the assure that Hosoda retains: itâ€™s a acquire treatment of to appear at, is creative in places, and will likely be eaten up by youthful viewers. But around time, they discover a kind of mutual regard, and as the beast will help the boy obtain an interior energy that is not basically explained by his physicality, the bear finds himself shifting for the finest. There is once again a crafty merge of CGI and hand-drawn animation (for the most component at the very minimum: when or two occasions, as in a deeply naff CGI POV sequence, he misjudges the combine), lots for fanatics of character layout to get sucked into, and in prevalent, a richly-imagined world. We get that weâ€™re intended to be progressively moved by their surrogate father-son romantic relationship, for the cause that itâ€™s hitting all the familiar beats, but it by no implies genuinely occurs. "The Boy and the Beast"

"The Boy and the Beast"

About some flashy, semi-summary CGI, Hosoda sets up his mythology. But Ren is nonetheless caught amongst two worlds, and a darker threat even than that is lurking as effectively.

The Boy and The Beast

Then the film throws absent its subtler, gentler facet for an all-motion 3rd-act that throws in an unconvincing and hugely telegraphed twist involving a insignificant character, and turns into a variety of superheroic, explosive brawler in a way that feels completely common, and usually disappointing, not the quite least owing to the actuality it fatally sidelines the central marriage.
