Sunday, October 12 at Pineapple Jack's in Rochester. It'll be a one-day, 8-person tournament. You'll see a champion anointed. It's history in the making. I'm sure you can come up with other cliches.
There's no reason not to be there. The show starts at 4 PM. There is NO Bills' game that week (bye week), so you don't have to paint your face red, blue and white (but you can if you choose.) The next day is a legal holiday, so you can stay for the duration and party like it's 1999...or 1492......
In other words, if you're a real wrestling fan, you have no excuses for not being there.
- A good question asked by some. WHO will be the 8 participants in the tourney? The answer: you'll have to watch Shakedown TV this Sunday (Monday in Suburban Erie County) to find out some of the names...HOWEVER, those who watched this past weekend's edition of Shakedown TV heard one wrestler pretty much imply that he WILL be in the tournament, even though the Championship Committee had not yet officially told him so. He's no Jonny-come-lately to P6W, so maybe he's right.
- This weekend 's show also contains the inaugural (and first) "Pier 6 Brawl." The Brawl is a 3-way match with NO Disqualifications. It's Frank Zimmerman (with the mysterious Mia Mauler) vs. Canada's Andrew Davis vs. The Mastiff. What role will Mia play, if any, in this match? Also, there's no guarantee that all 3 of these competitors will be in the Title Tournament, so a win will sure look good on somebody's resume.....
- Is Troy Buchanan playing headgames with Eric Everlast? Troy challenged Eric to a match WITHOUT any of Eric's cronies from the O'Sullivan Clan at ringside. Why is Troy trying to inject "right and wrong" into this dispute? There is no morality in pro wrestling (some would say). It's no secret to observers of the local scene that Troy and Eric go back a long way, both as friends and foes. A lot of past history may be coming to the forefront when they meet Sunday on Shakedown TV.
- Speaking of the O'Sullivan Clan, Mikhail Ruminov is said to be a good friend of the nephew of former Russian President Vladimir Putin. Word on the streets of Moscow is that Putin (who is still a high-ranking government official) has been following the career of the Stalingrad Strangler very closely. Might he have plans for Mikhail the next time Russia invades another country without provocation?
- I've asked several people about rumors that P6W is developing it's own Energy Drink. Everyone is silent on the issue, but an anonymous source informs me that Corporate has been trading e-mails with a well-known Nutritional Research Firm about "product development", citing repeated mentions of "tangy orange flavoring".
- Bring extra money when you go to P6W on Sunday October 12 at Pineapple Jack's. We'll have an expanded merchandise table with lots of DVD's to purchase. Nobody with a functioning brain can seriously dispute that P6W videos are the best produced in this region. If you believe otherwise, then, in my opinion, you're an idiot.
- The Bum Fight Club...I mean seriously, what is it with these guys? Yes, they're tough, but they really have to do something about that body odor problem. Then again, if you live in a garbage dumpster, you have two strikes against you......
-Speaking of two strikes, we're proud of the wrestling talent assembled in the P6W lockeroom. As at least one "wrestler" recently found out, entry is hard to obtain, and if you do get in, that doesn't make you a lifer.
-"Big Rig" Brodie Lee is still serving his 30-day suspension for attacking referees, TV announcers, innocent bystanders, etc. Since the suspension was set down on Sept. 7th, it will expire very soon....perhaps TOO soon, for some......
- I don't get the fascination with pre-season (exhibition) sports. Watching them on TV when nothing else is on is one thing, but paying money to see a game where the starters won't even have 1/3 of the playing time baffles me. When they are playing, they're trying not to get hurt. And the teams aren't trying to win. I don't get it. I know why the teams do it, but why do people pay to see it? (Unless, of course, it's a tax write-off).
-As always, when going to Pineapple Jack's for a P6W TV Taping, get there at 3 PM so you can watch that week's edition of Shakedown TV. Plus, by arriving earlier, you have an excuse to drink more. Not that you need one...(Please drink responsibly. Designated drivers are suggested, unless it's Nick Bollea).
