June 21, 201510 yr comment_5679161 Link two posts up. I'm starting watching now. Chat in here or start a new message thread?
June 21, 201510 yr comment_5679172 He will be cutting even better promos in San Antonio, TX. Unless dedhemingway sees I jumped the gun and scoops him. In which case my undercard may be saved at the expense of me writing a promo that makes me laugh every week.
June 21, 201510 yr comment_5679177 Good old new Voldemort. Even just taking his WWF stuff into account I thought he was hilarious.
June 21, 201510 yr comment_5679178 I really WANT dedhemingway to stop me. His plan requires a lot of other shit that will continue to decimate my chances of having more than 5 matches per card lol
June 21, 201510 yr comment_5679179 Okay, I'm back. About Barrabas, he was one of the original Capitol Sports Promotion wrestlers when the promotion started up in the 70's. He was a masked tecnico called El Rayo de Bayamon. The story goes that he ended up turning on Miguel Perez Sr. during a tag match. This was basically the first big turn by a wrestler in Capitol Sports. In an interview addressing the incident, Perez angrily said "You are nothing but a Barrabas". He probable meant a Judas, but instead said Barrabas. El Rayo ran with it, naming himself El Rayo Barrabas, which eventually got shortened to Barrabas. He basically became the first notable heel manager in Capitol Sports, adopting Shag Thomas as his first charge. Barrabas would first lose the mask, and then lose his hair in his feud with Perez. This would lead to his trademark bald, sideburns and beard look. Barrabas would leave Capitol Sports for a long period of time (due to apparent legal issues), and would work on the PR indie scene during that time. He would return as a manager/wrestler in the early 80's. He would end up taking along sabbatical from wrestling from the mid-80's to about early 91 due to injuries suffered in the Dupont Plaza tragedy. Since then he has remained active in on and off spurts with different companies locally. Here's a clip of Barrabas in action in 1977: And here he is having a communication breakdown with Apolo during a match:
June 21, 201510 yr comment_5679182 Thank you! And for the video of El Gran Apollo and him almost getting into a shoot fight. That damn hot head Apollo might just cause me the locker room problems I was concerned about after reading his scouting report.
June 21, 201510 yr comment_5679184 I love Barrabas. In the early 80s PR footage I've seen he was basically the world's best JTTS. Really a super entertaining undercard worker. I was considering drafting him and putting him under a mask.
June 21, 201510 yr comment_5679189 There are still 6 guys on my last list left and I'm really hoping they are still there when I pick hopefully tomorrow
June 21, 201510 yr comment_5679193 I actually have added a lot of names over my youtube travels. I could see using a few All Star scrubs in some different gimmicks that I already thought of. Memphis would sometimes use a jobber's name to take a shot at another wrestling company so Tommy Rich look a like in a lone-ranger style mask as "The Masked Wildfire" is funny to me.
June 21, 201510 yr comment_5679196 Yeah if you spend some time on YouTube, you will find at least a few more guys with some value.
June 21, 201510 yr comment_5679197 I've got 19 names still left on my list, need to look over the available wrestlers to see who I can add.
June 21, 201510 yr comment_5679198 I have to say, I'm fearing less about the state of the "development" matches on WWF Challenge now.
June 21, 201510 yr comment_5679206 So dedhemingway is in front of me and then I go. Will take proxy picks for the people behind me (I am not trying to take your pick, it's quite obvious who I want to take now) Cross Face Chicken Wing, dawho5, Boon, JHawk
June 21, 201510 yr comment_5679210 I have to say, I'm fearing less about the state of the "development" matches on WWF Challenge now. Get scared because I am sending Apollo with instructions to take no shit and do this any time he feels inclined:
June 21, 201510 yr comment_5679212 Ok Grimmas is gone and our episode of Portland was watched. Anyone else want to sync up to search for youtube gold?
June 21, 201510 yr comment_5679214 That Gran Apollo match reminds me of a tag match between Choshu/Yatsu and Jumbo/Tenryu. Yatsu gets out of control after Jumbo refuses to brawl with him. Higuchi and Choshu try to calm him down for a bit and then the bell rings. I love that match.
June 21, 201510 yr comment_5679215 Ok Grimmas is gone and our episode of Portland was watched. Anyone else want to sync up to search for youtube gold? How dare you scout my territory for talent with discussing it with me ahead of time.
June 21, 201510 yr comment_5679217 Al Madril & Mike Miller are all yours. Everybody good we saw is gone.
June 21, 201510 yr comment_5679221 Al Madril & Mike Miller are all yours. Everybody good we saw is gone. One of those two guys is actually pretty good.
