The Official Wrestling Thread is the Longest Running Episodic Thread Of All Time!

[Gryphon]

Becasue he's awesome?


Bryan Danielson is too small. Why do they let him wrestle?

[Masculine Todd]

I'm the only one who takes this thread seriously anymore.

[Masculine Todd]

If Grehon had his way, we'd see nothing but little guys with stupid haircuts doing flips.

ESPN2 shows gymnastics.

[Gryphon]

The problem is similar to WWE's. We've built Todd up to be our John Cena, and without any real threats (really, is Gryphon a legit challenge?) we've grown stagnant, with a lousy undercard.

Im a challenge to anyone. My nose dont blood coal. Im'a kick all your asses.

[Gryphon]

I see zeke becoming enhancement talent very soon before he shortly gets wished well in future endeavors.

[Gregory]

That reference isn't really urban, Gregory. You gotta go for the urban demographic. 'ZEKE and M. Henry should be rappers who also deal drugs.

It's like you've never seen a Black person on television a few times before.

OK, one gets to be Freddie 'Boom Boom' Washington, and one gets to be Urkel.

[Gryphon]

ADR should be WHC with orton and christian chasing him for the title.

[SteveFlack]

I see zeke becoming enhancement talent very soon before he shortly gets wished well in future endeavors.

Com on, you know Im just teasing todd. Zeke has a couple more years till the E really realizes he is useless:p

[Gryphon]

Sin Cara vs danielson feud. Make it happen wwe.

Mark Henry and Zeke as the new APA.

[Masculine Todd]

Sin Cara's okay because he has a cool mask. Danielson just has a stupid haircut. He should bulk up and wear Affliction t-shirts.

[Masculine Todd]

Drew McIntyre and Daniel Bryan should team together, and their name could be "Guys."

[Gryphon]

Drew McIntyre and Daniel Bryan should team together, and their name could be "Guys."
Drew and Wade in a tag team. Bring back the empire form FCW.

[Masculine Todd]

Bryan Danielson should be responsibly for drafting Orton's apology tweets.

[Masculine Todd]

Who pays attention to FCW? What's your deal, Bendis Board user Griffon?

[Gryphon]

Only in FCW could you see ricardo rodriguez as a luchador agaisnt richie steamboat.

The United Nations, allowing Cena, Orton, and Swagger to be the US of A.

According to another user on the site, (I forget who) ECW was originally going to be relaunched by Paul and shane Mcmahon as a seperate company until Vince decided to make it a wwe brand.

ECW forever.

People really whitewash ECW. There was a ton of bad wrestling, gimmicks, promos etc. but because they're the "underdog," a term I use very loosely, people tend to remember only the good things when, frankly, there was quite a bit of bad with ECW.

So everything about ECW was amazing and awesome? There was never a bad angle or promo and all the wrestling was amazing all the time? I call horseshit ON YOU.

Dont get me wrong there was crap but there was also a lot of good.

Back when the original ecw was still around, My cousin Alan took his wife who was 7 months pregant with their daughter, to a bar to watch an ecw ppv. He was that hardcore of a fan.

Sounds like your classic ECW fan, classy enough to bring a pregnant lady to a bar, but too cheap to just pay for the PPV themselves. No wonder Paul E's checks were made out of rubber...

Okay. ECW would still be around had WWE not fucked them out of their TV deal. And why do you agree with Vince? A guy who has been running his company into the ground for the last decade?

I dont think Vince screwed them out of their tv deal, the network didnt really care about them and was only using them as a test run for wwe.

Wasnt Vince loaning Paul lots of money at the end?

[Gregory]

Any quality ECW had was destroyified by putting the belt on Justin Credible during their TV run. Inexcusable.

[Brad N.]

So everything about ECW was amazing and awesome? There was never a bad angle or promo and all the wrestling was amazing all the time? I call horseshit ON YOU.

Okay, I'll give you Chilly Willy and Julio Dinero. But overall I enjoyed ECW week to week in all aspects more than WWE and WCW.

[Gryphon]

Can we all agree that wcw at the very end, was garbage.

[Gryphon]

Tazz was the best.

[Brad N.]

Can we all agree that wcw at the very end, was garbage.

I think that's as sure as death and taxes.

[joeAR]

Jeff Jarrett was a multi time WCW Champion! WCW was the bestest

[Adrian B AWESOME]

Justin Credible gets the benefit of the doubt since he has THE GREATEST RING NAME EVER.

But really, while I love cats like Raven, Joey Styles, Tazz and others, there's stuff to counteract that love. Like Sabu, who would botch then RETRY THE SPOT AND BOTCH ON THE SECOND ATTEMPT! Come on!

[Adrian B AWESOME]

Jeff Jarrett was a multi time WCW Champion! WCW was the bestest

Remember when Jeff Jarrett hit a guy over the head with a guitar? Classic! That never gets old, slapnuts!

Ugh. I feel so fucking dirty now.

Because WWECW would never have been ECW, no matter how much fans wanted that. It's a magic trick that couldn't be pulled off twice. The type of show that ECW put on wouldn't work on the stage that WWE has set up. SyFy would have been like 'Hey, why isn't this show like the shows you put on for USA and The CW?" The only way it would have worked would be if it was put on like they do FCW, smaller, regional, and hidden. But that wasn't going to happen, the "ECW" name was too big for that.

[Gregory]

The attitude era really was just ecw toned down for mainstream consumption.

[Gregory]

I still hold that TNA could adopt that ECW attitude -- without relying on the ECW people -- to make itself distinct from the WWE. Spike has hours of UFC a week; that TV audience can handle blood and violence.

Justin Credible!

Haw!


(the name not the actual guy)

[SteveFlack]

I still hold that TNA could adopt that ECW attitude -- without relying on the ECW people -- to make itself distinct from the WWE. Spike has hours of UFC a week; that TV audience can handle blood and violence.

The problem is the TNA is too busy trying to be WWE with a smaller budget, when they'd have much more success if they tried to be ROH with a larger budget.

This title tournament has potential as it gives us a true longterm story to follow with an inherent definite ending. The Joe/D-Von fight exemplified the variety of subplots that can develop (how you win is as important than winning), and it remind me of WCW's old top-ten contenders list that made each midcard match-up significant. If two guys, like today's Dolph and Kofi, are gonna fight every week, their feud is given meaning beyond filing airtime before their blowoff PPV match which doesn't relate to their previous free matches.

But, Jesus fuck, Joker Sting is a ruin of the main event angle.

[Gryphon]

Watching smackdown now. WWE has stepped up their game lately.

The title tournament is confusing as a hell. Also, why run that tournament when you seem to be running some sort of XDivision tournament at the same time? And what happened to their "ranking system"?

[Masculine Todd]

Yeah, Paul Heyman made Justin Credible ECW World Champ.

[joeAR]

Yeah, Paul Heyman made Justin Credible ECW World Champ.


And surprisingly it worked. He was over huge as a heel.

[SteveFlack]

Yeah, Paul Heyman made Justin Credible ECW World Champ.

It's one of those things though that only seemed ridiculous in retrospect. At the time, it was kind of legit. Besides, it always felt like he was going to be a transitional champ to move the belt on to RVD, but that never happened.

[Gregory]

Credible's reign only underscored how paltry ECW's talent pool had become after the WCW/WWF talent raids.

I might actually watch iMPACT if Hogan, Sting, Steiner, and Bischoff weren't on television.

[Gryphon]

It would be better but it wont happen. Hogan wants himself all over the product. I wouldnt be surprised if he mad ehimself world champion at one point.

[The Human Target]

Dark secret time...

While he shouldn't be in charge of talent, I like Bischoff's tv character.

[SteveFlack]

I might actually watch iMPACT if Hogan, Sting, Steiner, and Bischoff weren't on television.

I'd watch it more regularly if it was just a two hour discussion show every week with Scott Steiner.

[Greenville 90210]

Yup. That's why I stopped DVRing it. I gave it a chance and there's just too much garbage. Hulk Hogan, Flair, and Sting have a lot to teach the young guys and it's not how to take up all of the TV time. Steiner in 2011 has no value.

[Masculine Todd]

And surprisingly it worked. He was over huge as a heel.

He was transitional champ to move the belt on to Jerry Lynn.

[Masculine Todd]

Bischoff's a good performer. He should only be a television personality.

[UltimateFactor]

Sorry. His time in the ring may have passed, but Sting will always be relevant.

[joeAR]

God, I forgot Jerry Lynn had the belt.

[Gryphon]

His feud with the english language is fun to watch.

[Gryphon]

Sorry. His time in the ring may have passed, but Sting will always be relevant.

I meant his new gimmick.

[The Human Target]

I think the general rule should be- if you're on the program, you should have no say in the business or the booking.

Talent should stay talent and management should stay management.

Don't cross the streams.

[Brad N.]

He was transitional champ to move the belt on to Jerry Lynn.

And to add, if memory serves I think the plan was for Lynn to transition to RVD but RVD was hurt, they put the belt on Rhino, and they lost their TV deal. Then it was over.

[Gryphon]

Was Jerry Lynn wwf light heavyweight champ at one point?

[Gryphon]

I think the general rule should be- if you're on the program, you should have no say in the business or the booking.

[joeAR]

Yep, Rhino was the last original ECW champion. Rhino as the man beast was good. Rhino as a talking character just doesnt work for me.

[Brad N.]

God, I forgot Jerry Lynn had the belt.

I was ringside for that PPV and got to hold the title backstage afterward. Fun times.

[Adrian B AWESOME]

Wait, wait wait...Joker Sting? Go back. When did this happen? Doink the Clown's going to be pissed, since he rightfully stole the idea from Dark Knight 3 years ago!

[Brad N.]

Was Jerry Lynn wwf light heavyweight champ at one point?

Yup. IIRC his first WWE match and it was on Heat before a PPV.

[Gregory]

Was Jerry Lynn wwf light heavyweight champ at one point?

Yeah. He beat Crash Holly.

[joeAR]

I think the general rule should be- if you're on the program, you should have no say in the business or the booking.

[Brad N.]

Wait, wait wait...Joker Sting? Go back. When did this happen? Doink the Clown's going to be pissed, since he rightfully stole the idea from Dark Knight 3 years ago!

To be fair Sting stole his Crow gimmick a few years after that movie too.

[Gregory]

Was Rhino in tna at one point?

He was the champ for two days. Nash took ill right before a PPV, and Rhino was given his title shot.

[Gryphon]

History has proven that this should always be a rule.

Kevin Nash is a good example why.

[Gryphon]

Oh I see.

[Greenville 90210]

Wow. I think I said Sting should have evolved into a Joker rip-off 2-3 years ago. Boy, was I wrong!

How is teddy long not a heel GM at this point?

[Gryphon]

No chance.

They had a commercial hyping mitb ( with big show reading a fairytale story to hornswagle) and then at the next break when the show came back, had a Daniel Bryan Highlight reel ( end of spoiler) when he then went on to win his match with a new submission move

[Briomega]

* SPOILER *

Yeah? Well that seals it.

:lol:

[Adrian B AWESOME]

Submission moves are pretty effective in a ladder match.....

[Adrian B AWESOME]

I'd like to think Todd's dad is going to celebrate Independence Day by lighting off firecrackers with's "Todd" written on the side.

To be fair, the WWE has made Danielsons signature move a dropkick.

Following in the proud footsteps of Maven.

So that works pretty well in MitB.

The following is an excerpt from a new John Cena interview from ChicagoTribune.com:

"WWE has a lot of events, but rarely do you see something this controversial and hostile. I think people will talk about Money in the Bank for years to come. It will be a great moment for Chicago. A guy like CM Punk on live TV, you don’t know what he’ll do. I’m prepared for anything."

"It’s weird. Usually when a guy retires, we give them one last hoorah. But after what happened Monday, I don’t know. You have to wait and see. There are two more weeks. I’m interested and excited about all this, even if some of it came at my expense."

Jim Ross has posted a new blog over at JRsBarBQ.com. Below are some highlights:

"(Shawn Michaels) hit me about going on a hog hunt with him in the future on his new Outdoor Life Network show. What's better than fresh, smoked hog with JR's BBQ Sauce. HHH went on an alligator hunt with HBK this week for an episode of Shawn's Outdoor Life Network show with an air date TBA. 'The Game and The Gator' should be the title of that broadcast. I'll stick to watching 'Swamp People' and leave the Gator hunting to others."

"Mark Henry's newest persona seems to be working better than any persona the big Texan has had in WWE since he was signed around 1996. I hope that the World's Strongest Man can continue to be loud, obnoxious and nasty....sort like the drunk, young, male Longhorn fans at the annual OU-Texas football game...and see where that game plan takes him. (OU has their share of these loud, obnoxious drunks, too, BTW.) At least Mark Henry is being noticed for more than simply being able to lift heavy objects. Good for him."

"Any one who thinks that simply adding 'cruiserweights' to a TV show ala Sin Cara vs. Evan Borne is a magic formula is mistaken. Bourne and Cara had a nice, Raw match last week but would one want to see regularly if there wasn't a personal issue involved.? Watching two, talented athletes fly is fine but it won't pay the grocery tab week after week if it's simply two men with no back-story. At the same time, any one who says that cruiserweights can't help a brand earn a better TV rating or sell more tickets simply because they aren't heavyweights is misguided."

Is wade barrett a lost cause in the wwe?

His character can be rehabbed. He's just lost in the shuffle right now. Smackdown is all emerging faces and RAW is all heels. Barrett will only be used to put guys over for the time being. He needs to be able to talk more and (I know I've said this a few times already) but he needs to LOOK DIFFERENT. I liked his look on NXT, the big coat with the different color flower every time. That was something unique. That's what makes someone stand out. Also he has the crappiest finisher on Smackdown.

In a bizarre new article recently posted by RadarOnline.com, a crazed fan reportedly rushed into the ring during a celebrity boxing match featuring Nadya Suleman, known most famously as the "OctoMom." The following is an excerpt from the article:

"Things went awry, however, when the belligerent fan jumped into the ring, tossing out marriage proposals.

"Will you please marry me? Will you please marry me? ... I'm a Paul Heyman guy! I'm a Paul Heyman guy!" the intruder said, making a sly reference to a controversial promo delivered by pro wrestler C.M. Punk on Monday Night Raw earlier this week."

His character can be rehabbed. He's just lost in the shuffle right now. Smackdown is all emerging faces and RAW is all heels. Barrett will only be used to put guys over for the time being. He needs to be able to talk more and (I know I've said this a few times already) but he needs to LOOK DIFFERENT. I liked his look on NXT, the big coat with the different color flower every time. That was something unique. That's what makes someone stand out. Also he has the crappiest finisher on Smackdown.

I agree with changing his look but also maybe new theme music that is just for him.

[Gryphon]

Isnt he a heel every few years?


Pffttt, it's not new at all.

I'd like to think Todd's dad is going to celebrate Independence Day by lighting off firecrackers with's "Todd" written on the side.

Bryan Danielson should have his name changed to Max Steel. Max Steel should have a shaved head, and approximately 50 lbs more muscle mass. He should refrain from kicks and flips and go for a string of scoop slams and clotheslines. He should yell alot and raise his fists in the air in a celebration of his manly vitality and power. His post-match celebration should be to bite into a thick, large slab of raw meat and spit the contents in his fallen opponents' faces.

Max Steel could win Money in the Bank. Bryan Danielson's just some little nerd who doesn't eat animal products.

TRIPLE H CONTEMPLATING BUYING BLU-RAY PLAYER WITH BOX OFFICE GROSS FROM "THE CHAPERONE"
By RD Reynolds

Greenwich, CT – Less than 10 days prior to his official in-ring return to the WWE, you'd think Paul "Triple H" Leveque's mind would be on his upcoming main event with the Undertaker at WrestleMania 27. But thanks to the reported box office success of the theatrical release of his recent movie entitled "The Chaperone", he has other things to consider. Namely, what to do with all that money.

"The kids and I really want a Blu-Ray player," said the 13-time World champion. "But Steph doesn't get why we need it. She said it seems like a lot of money when we already have a perfectly functional DVD player."

Hunter stated that no matter how he tried to spin it, his wife, WWE Executive Vice President of Creative Stephanie McMahon, remains unconvinced. "I explained to her the benefits of the better picture quality, enhanced sound, and all the additional features. We went over to John Cena's tour bus and I showed her footage of 300 in both standard def and high def. But she claimed she couldn't see a difference. I think she's just being stubborn."

When asked for comment on the story, Stephanie was quick to respond what she wanted to do with the money.

"I was thinking Hunter, me, and the kids could hit Red Lobster and just break the bank. It's Lobsterfest, and I am a huge fan of that!"

When asked for details on what the no expense spared dinner would include, Steph's eyes lit up. "For sure I would start with a Lobsterita, and it's gotta be raspberry. Mom likes strawberry, but not me! Then I'd then want the best appetizer ever made: the Crab Fondue in a Breadbowl! I could eat that whole thing myself. For the main course, I've been wanting to try out the new Parmesean Lobster and Shrimp Bake. That looks really good. And to finish it all up, I'd definitely go with the Chocolate Wave. I don't stray from the diet very often, but money coming in like this doesn't happen every day, so I would be willing to do a few extra hours in the gym in the morning to compensate for the extra calories."

When informed that Red Lobster no longer offered the Crab Fondue in a Breadbowl, Steph looked devastated. After wiping away tears, she then angrily turned to her husband and said, "Fine, you get your damn Blu-Ray player. But not until next weekend when Best Buy is running their Triple Reward Zone points sale!"



TRIPLE H RETURNING NEW BLU-RAY PLAYER TO PAY FOR WRESTLEMANIA CHAIR SHOT FINE
By RD Reynolds

Stamford, Connecticut – To casual fans, one would think that Paul "Triple H" Levesque's most painful memory of WrestleMania XVII would be his defeat at the hands of the Undertaker. Those close to "The Game", however, know he lost more than just a match that night.

He lost his coveted new Blu-Ray player as well.

"You have no idea how long and hard I fought to get that thing," Triple H told fellow customers at the customer service line at his local Best Buy. "Not only did I have to convince my wife that there was a huge difference between high and standard def, not only did I have to con her into believing that the discs weren't that much more expensive, but I had to wait until we had extra 'bonus' money that wasn't already budgeted for something else."

The bonus money came in the form of the box office gross from the theatrical release of "The Chaperone" in which Levesque played the role of an ex-con turned bus driver. "That was just enough to cover not only the player, but also a copy of "Teen Wolf". I didn't want it; I really had my eyes on "300", but I knew that Steph loved any movie with Michael J. Fox. So I got that along with the player, thinking it would be a good way to get her to "buy in" to the new format."

Sadly, the player wasn't to be in the Levesque household for long. During the WrestleMania encounter with Undertaker, a chair came into play, which is strictly forbidden under WWE policy. Following the match, both Undertaker and Triple H were fined an "undisclosed amount" for "the stunt of using a folded metal chair shot to the head."

"They may not have disclosed the amount to the public," moaned Triple H, "but let me tell you, it wasn't cheap. When the notice of the fine arrived in the mail, Steph just shook her head and looked at me, saying, 'There's only one way we can cover this. The Blu-Ray player has got to go back.' I was devastated."

One trip to Best Buy later, all Hunter had was memories of what could have been..and an unwanted copy of "Teen Wolf" on Blu-Ray.

"Seriously, they wouldn't refund my money because I had opened it. When they told me that, I asked if I could get store credit instead, and those bastards wouldn't even do that. So now I'm stuck with a copy of some stupid movie I didn't even want."

Shaking his head, Levesque muttered, "I should have just taken Steph and the kids to Red Lobster instead. Damn it. Damn it all to hell!"

MATT HARDY TO HEADLINE WRESTLEMANIA 27 ON "SMACKDOWN VS. RAW 2011"
By Justin Henry

Cameron, NC - Matt Hardy has finally realized his dream, and will get to headline the 27th annual grand spectacle known as Wrestlemania.

The 36 year old TNA talent has been feverishly playing “Smackdown Vs. Raw 2011” on his PlayStation 3, and believes he has leveled up his stats enough to take out would-be champion CM Punk at the big event.

“I made Punk the champion because he said some not-nice things about my brother,” said Hardy through his website. “So after I won the Royal Rumble from the #1 spot, things are headed for a collision course between Punk and myself, because he brought my family into it. And when that match happens, I’ll be more than happy to transfer the video to DailyMotion for all to see. I’d use YouTube, but you only get ten minutes on YouTube, and that may not be long enough for all 75 Twist of Fates I’m going to hit.”

Hardy has also set up the Wrestlemania card to favor his closest allies.

“I spent a good day and a half creating my brother, Shane, and Shannon on the game,” Hardy continued. “Jeff’s going to be facing Val Venis just to show him who the better worker is. Shane’s gonna take on Shawn Michaels in an Inferno Match because it just seems right. And Shannon, who is 6’11 at his insistence, will be in a six pack challenge with five guys who are over 300 lbs. Let’s see them call him ‘Hilary Duff’ to his face now!”

Hardy also notes that his celebration after defeating Punk will be epic.

“I created Ashley Massaro, who will celebrate with me by rubbing my manly body. I had to beat my created Paul London to win her back. Paul looks funny wrestling in the dress I gave him. I took cell phone pictures; wanna see?”

Fuck I wish that IRS story was true.

[SteveFlack]

So I just got back from the TNA show on Coney Island. Wow. What a debacle that was.

First off, the show was advertised to be headlined with a special appearance by Ric Flair. Well, Ric did the meet & greet for the people who paid about $100 a shot, but then no-showed the show, never making an appearance for the crowd. On the way out the door, they had Jeff Jarrett signing autographs for free at the merch table. I passed him on the way out and said "Hey Jeff, what about Ric? I'm pissed!" He looked up at me and yelled, "Yeah, I'm pissed too!" My friend then called him a slapnutz and he gave us a thumbs up.

Also, this rebranding is a fucking disatser. All night long, they kept calling it TNA. The only Impact Wrestling thing was the ring apron. As for the matches, it was a short card. An opening six man that was great, with British Invasion teaming with Robbie E to fight Red, Orlando Jordan and Eric Young. Hometown kid Red get the win. Followed by a decent ladies match where Angelina, accompanied by Winter, fought Mickie James, who won. Crimson beat Jeff Jarret, which was awful. Followed by a "eh" Dudley vs Dudley street fight, Devon went over for the hometown win. Then, there was a "20 Minute Intermission" that had to have lasted an hour. Followed the two main events, which were completely "eh": RVD vs AJ, Angle vs Anderson.

BUT...

On the way out of the baseball park, walking down the Boardwalk to ride the world famous Wonder Wheel ferris wheel, we stumbled upon this gem. I took a photo of my buddy Armando, just to make sure we could get a shot of him without getting yelled at for not paying for an autograph. Hanging out on the Boardwalk, trying to get whatever run off from the TNA show he can get...

I don't know if I've shared the full story before so here it is:

So I got a chance to go to Wizard World Chicago in like 2002, it was my first big comic show, had a great time. At the time I was probably a freshman in high school. At one point I was walking around and noticed Virgil's table. Of course I was kinda surprised, I recognized him from his WWF days with Ted DeBiase. So I walk up to his table just to say hello. He greets me and I immediately don't know what else to say, so I just looked at the crap he had on his table. I noticed one of the pictures had DeBaise in it as well as his autograph, so I pointed it out to my cousin who was with me. Next thing I know Virgil asks me my name, I told him, he then grabbed the picture signed my name and his name. He then proceeded to ask me for $20/5 (can't remember exactly). I was stunned, I was young and scared. So I coughed up the money and walked away without saying anything else.

And Virgil had his way with both of us! We should start a support group.

[ashland10]

virgil was at dragoncon one year having the time of his life. Some guy came by dressed as a warewolf and virgil commanded him to pretend he was trying to bite people, this went on for five minutes and everytime the werewolf prepared to attack some poor convention-goer, virgil would be shaking with anticipation, which would climax with a deep belly laugh when the werewolf would attack, it was like when you play peek-a-boo with a baby. Finally the werewolf got bored, which i dont think virgil ever would have, and walked away. Virgil then started talking to Raven about how awesome it was...

Yup, he mentioned it on Twitter. He was successful in this effort. Also, his latest show is up but I can't post it on my phone.

[Masculine Todd]

Virgil found my friend and I standing outside of our hotel for WW Chicago in '04. Noticing that my friend was wearing a Triple H shirt, Virgil asked us if we were wrestling fans - to which we both responded "we used to be." He asked if we'd like to take a picture with him. Neither of us did, but it seemed like one of those charitable things he was doing, and we didn't want to rescind the offer in a fit of rudeness or whatever.

So he takes a picture with both of us, and then, afterwards, says "I usually charge twenty a picture, but you guys are alright. I'll cut it in half." My friend informs him that neither of us carry cash, and, in a moment of awkwardness, promises to destroy the pictures when we get them developed because we couldn't pay. He looked really disheartened for a second, and then asked if we had a cigarette. My friend says "will a pack settle us up?" He nods his head, so he throws him his unopened pack and Virgil takes off.

[Briomega]

I ran into Virgil in Times Square many years ago. He saw me eating a Slim Jim and asked if I was a wrestling fan. I told him yeah, why? He asked if I'd like an autograph and I asked him from whom? He said from me. I said no. He begged. I told him to leave me alone while I started walking away. He followed after holding a picture up. I ran. He kept running and waving the picture like a knife.

Finally he cornered me in an alley and begged me to take the picture. I told him if he got on his knees I'd think about it. When he knelt down I ran.

To this day I still see Virgil sometimes following me with a picture in his hands. My friends tell me I'm imagining it but I know better.

I know better.

I wonder, who hurt Virgil as a young kid, was there some old man ripping Virg off for asking for a autograph.

Also, I was at that WW Chicago, but I stayed away from Virgil. I think Foley was there, or Kane, can't remember.

A steady rain fell that night, the wind whispered between the limbs of old cypress trees like words spoken thorough teeth. He was waiting for me when I returned home. It was Comic Con a few years back, a cold and arid Gotham October when I saw him. It was only a momentary glance as I passed his table, but we had locked eyes in that brief instance and in his black-brown orbs I saw a loneliness, a quiet desperation. "Would you like a picture?" He said to me as I walked by, but I kept going. There was a Bob Wayne hosted panels on the Fifty-Two Flavors of DCU where, in an attempt to cash in on their partnership with Ben and Jerry's, they were unveiling their brand new initiative "100% edible comic books" and I wanted to get in close before the toxic edible ink they used turned the aisle into a soupy river of bile and molding sugar. I just didn't have time to talk to Virgil, WWE Superstar. I was a busy man. I kept seeing him all over the place that day. Once at a line for a Oliver Coipel sketch. Once amongst the crowd at the Image booth. Once in the face of a booth bath hawking free 2-for-1 navel piercings. Once inside the rusted box of a prop zombie cage. Once standing behind me in the bathroom mirror....

This goes on for about fifteen pages and then it turns out that the narrator is Virgil all along.
