The Tower of Blackpool
Ron Knight
really a British lord. After thinking about my reply for another
24 hours, I am concerned that my answer may have seemed a bit
snotty to the questioner (2-word summary of answer: GET REAL!).
So if I gave offense, I am sorry. At any rate, I have further
info:
WON reports that the WCW programs are heavily edited before being
broadcast in the UK, with the major targets being violence and
outdated angles. They must also edit out Lord Steven Regal's ring
introduction, or else we would probably have had some posting
already from the British fans about what I say below.
Lord Steven is introduced as being "from the Tower of Blackpool".
(Okay, Brits, you've already had your chance, now let me talk.
I'm sure I'll say something ignorant you can correct, but let me
say it first.) When Regal received this introduction tonight on
Main Event, I decided to head for the Encyclopedia Britannica
(published in the good ole USA) to see whether there was some
castle or baronial manor known as the Tower of Blackpool. Here's
what I found out:
Blackpool is a seaside resort town on the Irish sea that attracts
many tourists, a large number of them being working-class people
from the industrial towns of Northern England. It has piers (not
peers), swimming pools, a nice beach of several miles long, and
several amusement parks. In 1895, just as the town was starting
to develop in popularity as a resort, somebody got the bright
idea of building a 520-foot-tall tower of iron girders, modelled
after the Eiffel Tower, as a tourist attraction. This is the
Blackpool Tower.
The American equivalent of Lord Steven's ring intro, or something
similar at least, would be "from the Parachute Jump at Coney
Island"! As I said in my last post, I don't actually *know* whether
Regal is a British lord or not, but I have a pretty strong opinion.
Okay, you guys from the UK, take your best shot.
Now, if you'll bear with me, I'll just tack on something here on
another subject. (I figure one post is less bandwidth than two.)
Last night on WCW Saturday Night, Jesse Ventura made a little
comment that the passage of NAFTA would mean that WCW could move
to Mexico City (to avoid high tariffs, he said).
Okay, it was not one of Jesse's best jokes, but it got me thinking
that if Vince listened to it, he might get a bright idea about how
to avoid the feds.
Of course, if either the WWF or the WCW moved to Mexico City, it
could give a whole new meaning to the phrase "giant sucking sound."

Hey Blackpool Tower is getting a raw deal here. It's not just a collection
of girders. It has in fact got several levels of entertainment ( Undersea
World etc. ) and a permanent circus ( I think this has closed down though..
do you know if it has Mike?? )
Mind you, I think Steve Regal does come from Blackpool.

>Okay, you guys from the UK, take your best shot.
OK, you are indeed correct ..... the Tower of Blackpool
is indeed a tourist attraction on the Irish sea.
And NO!, Regal (real name Darren Matthews) is not a
real Lord (like Lord Alfred Hayes isn't!!). He's
just a commoner like me ;-)
BUT, if you cast your mind back, UK wrestling fans,
Darren Matthews (Regal) made his debut in pro-wrestling
on the World Of Sport show in UK, when he was about
18 (3 years later than Davey Boy Smith!!).

Well, I've been following this group for quite some time (almost a year),
and frankly, I'm getting sick and tired of reading posts such as this.
Instead of setting yourself up for flames by posting this article, why
don't you simply unsubscribe to this group, if you have no interest in it?
Is it too much effort to do this? Does this mean that if I hate, say
basketball (I don't - this is only an example), I should go to the
rec.sport.basketball.pro group and post a "get a life" article to all the
readers there? Of course not. The same applies to this group and all others.
This was not intended to be a flame, just a word of advice so that you can
avoid flames in the future.
To all: Sorry for wasting bandwidth by not e-mailing this guy, I just want
all who are thinking of posting articles like this to read my post.
Thanx. And now, back to the ring....

As a flamer, good ol' Barry gets *** out of five. He loses points for ofcourse
bad typing and trying to impress us with his "bioengineering" job. For once
though, a flamer didn't outright say wrestling was phony. I respect that.

This makes me truly sad. No, not the bioengineer part, but the total lack
logic in this statement. What does spending time inside, smelling roses,
and thankfullness have to do with each other or wrestling ? Zippo.

What little credibility you might have had just went down the sewer with
this one. Since autoeroticism has never been mentioned on this newsgroup
(not counting the likes of P.S.), it must be coming from someplace else.
Hmm, practice much lately ? Oh, take Education 592 (human sexuality) - maybe
you'll feel more secure in this big, bad nasty world.

Top Ten Reasons why I Watch Wrestling:
1. It's like a second childhood.
2. It's just like soap operas, except without stupid people like Linda Dano
and Anthony Geary.
3. Everybody else is in to Star Trek, so I'm daring to be different.
4. Because with Japanese tapes, the commercials are as interesting as the
programs. The McDonald's ad with the giant chicken and the ad for that
baldness remedy come to mind.
5. What else is there to do at 11AM on Saturday mornings?
6. I get a certain feeling of intellectual superiority when reading Pro
Wrestling Illustrated.
7. Hasn't everybody wanted to do a moonsault at some point in their lives?
8. Dave Meltzer would be on food stamps if we weren't around.
9. There are no suplexes in football.
10.Two words: Jushin Liger.

I like the one where a wife puts her husband in an octopus hold. Still
don't know what they're trying to sell. Then there's the commercial that
Herb keeps telling me about -- the one with the dancing cow, whose
udders are flailing all over. Still haven't seen that one yet.
So, Herb, we'll play it next time Karen's around. I understand she just
*loves* that cow commercial. ;-)

For those that haven't seen it, this commercial features a very well
endowed cow dancing for a few seconds and then squeezing her breasts.
It's a keeper. Maybe a r.s.p-w tape of the future should devote fifteen
minutes to the best Japanese commericals. ;-)

has not yet been done enough justice. I remember not just one but several
udder shaking cows. Also, in addition to a huge jacked up looking udder,
they have human backsides. I mean, it goes leather, flesh-colored cheeks,
leather. Oh yeah, and the cows are standing on their "hind legs".
I think that about does it. Folks it's not a pretty picture, but
unbelievable and pretty damn funny.
Another cool commerical is one for a jewelry store. They show a
helicopter crashed into this pool, with some Caucasain girl swimming out
of it, just to show off her cool jewelry. This is set to some pop music
and done is slo-motion.

Actually Andy, I had the feeling we were throwing their names around
because they were the best workers AJW had to offer. I mean, anyone who
fantasizes about apartment rasslin' with Aja Kong and Bull Nakano has more
than a couple sandwiches short of a picnic, no? =) Besides, if that were
the case wouldn't somebody have mentioned Cutie Suzuki or Plum Nariko by
now? Or, to a lesser extent, Debbie Malenko?
Speaking of Malenko, what ever happened to her? Was she able to come back

So, who could play the roles? Preferably someone who will look good dressed

Cutie Suzuki and Mayumi Ozaki, anyone?

Her appearence is frightening, to be sure. But since she started losing
weight, if you look close, she doesn't have a bad face. It's hard to tell
pre-match, or for a posed pic. But post match, when the makeup comes off and
her hair is down, she looks more human. :-)
Whatever happened to La Rosa? I saw her on TripleMania, and despite that
silly Costume Ball mask she wore, she looked pretty good. The red hair left
a little doubt if she was Mexican, though.

All right, all right- so it's been awhile since I've seen her on Dave's
latest tape. Nothing against it- it's just that (to me) the matches really
slow down after that AJW-JWP 60 minute IronWomen's match. So maybe I
should give it a better look next time...

ROTFL! Excellent analogy, my man. Some of the things she had done to her

Nah, Akira couldn't hold a match to the Lovely Angels. They tend to wreak

Asheville NC (metro pop. 125,000) has a huge Mexican population; they came
here as migrants for the apple crops, and are now year-round. There's a
really fine Mexican market here, and in addition to five kinds of mole,
three brands of chipotle, and the like, they carry three or four lucha
mags -- including _Arena_, which like the others (_El Halcon_, etc.)
rely mainly on gory photos, lurid writing and fan drawings of stars (!)
Asheville is also, according to a business news magazine, going to be the
site of Jim Crockett's new promotion's first shows, along with Greensboro,
Spartanburg SC., and Greenville, SC. Wonder if Flair will come along,
if Heynman will show up, or if Konnan (!) will be the lead heel (!)
