March 21st, 2001 This little piggy... 
This conspiracy to kidnap Russell Crowe is awesome.
Too bad the FBI seems to have foiled it.
I kinda wish it had happened just to see how much money they would have gotten.
I think it would have been an obnoxious display by the Hollywood community.
Imagine if they had actually cut a finger or two off to show that they meant business.
I'd have raised money for this...not to help pay his ransom, but to hopefully buy a finger on ebay.
I'd keep the gladiator's finger in a little jar and it would sit on a lit wood stand on a shelf in my home as the crown jewel of my collectibles.
I'd even have a little roman helmet made for the top of the jar.
I'd never get tired of showing that little finger off to everyone I know.
It might even get its own websile like www.russellssadlittlechoppedofffinger.com. A friend e-mailed this personal ad to me the other day... "cutmemore" I am interested in meeting a sadist for cutting I am married, 34, live in Miami Lakes, Florida. I have 2 kids, daughter 14 and a son 9. My husband does not understand kinky sex at all, so he is not inolved. I am 5'7", weigh 135, light brown hair and brown eyes, 34b. Last Visit: 3/18/01 Ideal Person - I am looking for a sadist who is interested in cutting me while I am stimulated. This chick has some serious mental health issues. March 20th, 2001 WWF threw a nice surprise by finally having Rhino's debut. I always hated him in ECW mostly because I always felt he was too fat to be put over as a bad ass. He came out 20-25 pounds lighter and I'll admit he looked great. Then, later in the show, to bring in Spike Dudley (I wonder if they've signed him to a contract) as a counter-swerve was pretty cool and a total surprise as I had not heard any rumors about him doing any work with the WWF. Having Paul Heyman in my opinion is already starting to pay off. Its looking more and more like almost anyone from ECW worth a damn will be showing up in the WWF. I'm very much looking forward to seeing Tajiri and Jerry Lynn perform again. I hope they sign RVD soon and it would be nice for Tommy Dreamer to find a secure job where he can earn some decent greenbacks. It makes you wonder if there will eventually be an ECW/WWF feud in the future... I had theorized earlier that a Linda McMahon vs. Vince Mcmahon angle could put this ECW idea to good use... That, or have Paul Heyman be the insidious insider with a grudge against Vince and TNN for the destruction of ECW. Either one is a good idea...or both, having Paul and Linda working together. However with today's news, there's an even bigger possible storyline... Today it was announced that Fusient has withdrawn from attempting to purchase WCW. As a growing sub plot, it looks like the next interested party to buy WCW is Vince McMahon. Wow. Now imagine this, an incredibly strong WWF led by Vince (infused with all the new blood coming over from ECW) is threatened when Linda McMahon (freed from the sedatives) walks out (with Shane) for a major announcement... She has interrupted him, their daughter Stephanie, and HHH who have been gloating over their accomplishments following Wrestlemania. She begins by saying that she has no interest in a messy public divorce from Vince, and will give him what he wants. She says however that she plans on some revenge and intends to humiliate him as he did her all these months. Linda continues in saying that to accomplish this, she plans to beat him at his own game. At that announcement, 5 or 6 large figures step out to join her on the platform. They would be WCW's finest...Sting, Hogan, Goldberg, Booker T, Nash, Scott Steiner, DDP, etc...(whoever would represent the best of the best). After the cheers subside, she says that the reason Shane has been absent recently was that he has been secretly working the deal for Linda to purchase WCW. That's when the fun begins. This feud could last years and years with wrestlers jumping teams, betraying one another, the usual wrestling stuff. They'd be able to feed on the fantasies of every wrestling fan. A WWF/WCW feud has been an impossible "what if" for over a decade. If they can cash in on this and make it happen, it would be a phenomenal success. 
Not to make this the Vince McMahon fan club here, but that Costas interview was amazing. Costas tried to smear him the whole time taking things out of context and citing outdaded events. Vince got in his face and basically told him what an ass Costas was and how uninformed and ill-prepared he was for this interview. Vince stood up for himself and the intellignece of his WWF fans. The greatest hypocrisy is that Vince gets hammered for the character he plays on TV and is expected to be responsible for the morality of this country when the truth is that he is a smart, shrewd, and successful business man and a devoted husband and father. Essentially, a model person in terms of how to live a good life when it comes to his family, and a true American success story. He has an understanding of his fans and the marketplace his business is in. He definitely shows a lot more responsibility toward his viewers than shows like NYPD Blue, Big Apple, the Sopranos, Oz, and Queer as Folk. If the absurd notion that television and movies force people to do evil things, then the WWF is so tame compared to the rest of what's out there. Anyone so weak minded to not be held accountable for his/her own actions should have been aborted before birth anyways. Then, Costas has Coach Bobby knight on and kisses his ass through the whole interview. Forget the fact that Knight in reality is a raging maniac that chokes his student players and has vulgar displays of anger and violence. There's tons of videotape of his immature and unprofessional outbursts. Costas doesn't even address his numerous fuck-ups or show any bad footage as he did with Vince. Costas worships a man who in reality is more like the "evil" Vince McMahon television character when in reality Vince is by far the more stand-up and respectable human being. Everyone has such an axe to grind with the WWF and Vince that he gets treated like a criminal and a criminal like Knight gets treated like a national treasure. No wonder the XFL is getting no support through the media and sports community. Also, Vince will be on Howard Stern Thursday which should be a much more fair exchange of comments and ideas. Even though Stern isnt a wrestling fan, its obvious he recognizes and respects McMahon for the successful visionary he is. 
That Lionel Tate kid is getting the celebrity treatment and should soon be out playing golf with OJ and Puffy.
Look, even at 12 years old, you need to have some evil in you to kill a 6 year old girl. I'm also fairly certain he would have had to pound her excessively to have killed her. A life sentence is excessive but considering he is going to jail at the age of 14, even if he spends half his life in jail and eventually gets parolled at the age of 28, he's still got more than two-thirds of his life left to live. I can't imagine a life sentence wouldn't be paroled out eventually. Now, we've got Al Sharpton, the Black Panthers, and Johnny Cochran all down here working toward the same goal. What's the goal though? A reduced sentence or to get him set free? That kid needs to do time...a reasonable amount, at least 10 years. Tate needs to be held accountable for what he did and serve as an example that people need to be held responsible for their actions. Chronic "I'm full of shit" disorder is not an excuse. Neither is "the TV made me do it". At 12 years of age, you know right from wrong and even if he was doing wrestling moves, he knew it was wrong, and he chose to do it anyways. Don't bullshit me that he didn't know that you can get hurt doing these things. Trying to make professional wrestling the scapegoat was ridiculous and desperately weak. The naked guy at my gym... I spend as little time as possible in the locker room at Ballys. The only reason for me to go in there is to go to the bathroom. Everytime I walk in there there is some bare-assed naked guy prancing around with no agenda toward getting dressed anytime soon. I just don't need to see naked guys unless I'm watching (or making) a porno movie...and definitely not live and in-person. I don't understand why these guys have to feel the need to drag their old rotten sacs around the locker room for other dudes to see. Especially since the only people strutting around bare-assed are the fat, old, and ugly. This morning some guy I could guess with 99% certainty was gay, was standing totally naked (and fat) drying his body under some of those hot-air hand driers. It was disgusting and he needed his ass kicked...after he got dressed. March 16th, 2001 I heard memos were sent out stating that WCW will stop all shows at the end of this month. I also hear that they are no closer to selling the company then when negotiations began. Dissolving the company sounds extreme to me but if they can't sell it, a lot of people may soon be looking for a job elsewhere. Too bad ECW couldn't last to possibly get some talent and worm into the empty television slots on the Turner channels. It would be interesting to see who Vince decides to give work to and who he'd ignore or punish if WCW is no more and the talent is free to work for the WWF. 
Steven Seagal rules.
As a true and loyal fan is expected to do, I went and saw an early showing of Exit Wounds Friday...and its easily my early choice for movie of the year. As far as I'm concerned, the man can do no wrong, and I like even his "bad" movies to a certain extent. As usual, Seagal kicks ass throughout the entire movie. Every move breaks bones and snaps necks. The action was great, the sound was awesome, and you could tell there was a great cast and high production values with a decent story. Some other bad-assed people in this movie were Bill Duke (Predator) and Michael Jai White (Spawn). Tom Arnold like in True Lies is hilarious, as is Anthony Anderson (the fat black dude from Romeo Must Die & Big Momma's House). Even if he does a movie that isn't great, Seagal always provides the best, brutal, and most memorable fight scenes. However, Exit Wounds tops the list of his great films like Above the Law, Under Siege, Under Siege 2, and his 30 minutes of Executive Decision (I'll always remember being surprised that he was in it and even more surprised when he got sucked out of the plane to his death). This is definitely a movie that deserves the full theater experience. It will provide constant, intense, and well shot action, brutal violence, and a lot of humor...and Steve never breaks out a guitar to pick a country tune. This movie delivers on every level and Seagal more than lives beyond anyone's expectations. Also make sure to visit Seagal's official website... 
March 15th, 2001 Does it seem coincidental to anyone else that the stock market has been on a continuous diarrhea mudslide spiralling downward through the toilet just a month or two into the Bush presidency? Maybe his spending 4 of his first 6 weekends in office as President vacationing at Camp David while his vice president is rotting on his feet has something to do with our confidence in the current state of affairs. Clinton may be a corrupt sonofabitch, but he was into the job and worked hard. He didn't vacation there until his second term. This dude sent me a link to his site where he trades wrestling tapes. Check it, maybe he's got something you've been looking for... 
I'm excited to see Smackdown tonight. I don't read the spoilers as I like to watch the show and be surprised, but I suspect they're on the road to starting the McMahon civil war. It will probably be Steph and Vince against Shane and Linda. Maybe they'll split the company like an NWO or ECW invasion angle, but for now I see a possible Shane vs. Vince match at Wrestlemania... with a surprise appearance of Linda (off the medication) right around the time of Wrestlemania or shortly afterward. I visited some newsgroups the other day and was amazed by the fact that there are a large number of people who believe some of the stuff they see on TV every week. One dude actually posted a question asking if Stephanie is really married to HHH. Maybe I'm just giving the average person too much credit in the brains department. I remember seeing Goldberg beat Hogan for the strap in Atlanta, and I saw a toothless dad with his wife and 2 kids all excited over the show. It looked as though he hadn't bought his children new clothes in awhile but he had bought himself a new Goldberg t-shirt for 20 bucks. I'm sure he had also drank a few 8 dollar beers, so we know where his priorities are. Anyways, I'll never forget what he said to them, He said "Boys, we just witnessed history tonight". Forget about the Berlin wall coming down, or something like the Gulf War... Goldberg had beaten Hogan, and they had been there to see it live! PRAISE JESUS, HALELUJAH!!! Reality is, sad to say, that that's still a surprisingly large percentage of the wrestling fans out there. And, when you tell people you're a fan they may think of you as that guy. March 14th, 2001 I absolutely love reading stuff like this...its taken in its entirety from 1wrestling.com's website: AN OPEN LETTER TO SABU by Steve Boucher 3/13/2001 7:16:00 PM Commissioner’s Corner Dear Sabu, I don’t know you and you don’t know me, but I have to be honest. I’ve been hearing a lot of things about you lately and I’m worried about you. Many people are questioning your character and it bothers me to think that you might be destroying the legacy you’ve spent your whole career building. Last week, I read about you skipping out on two dates for promoters in Ontario and Winnipeg. Ernie Todd, the NWA Canadian Wrestling Federation promoter who had booked you for both an autograph show and wrestling appearance, claims that he sent you a $1,373 plane ticket, $500 U.S. retainer and a $150 money order for a work permit. He says that you cashed the $500 check for the retainer and headed out of the country saying, “Screw everyone, I’m going to Mexico for two weeks!” A couple of years ago, I wouldn’t have believed this story, but given what I’ve seen of your behavior over the past year, I might be having a change of heart. I saw you before a World Wrestling Alliance card in Massachusetts a few months back and you were clearly in no condition to work. Sure, you showed up as planned, but you had no business being in the building let alone a wrestling ring. You stumbled into the ring at intermission and repeatedly yelled at the announcer to ring the bell and get the match started. Thank God Big Dick Dudley was there to tell you that it was simply time to take Polaroids with the fans. If you didn’t notice, many of those fans kept their distance that night – you were clearly impaired and people were nervous to be around you. Later on, you were scheduled to do a run in and perform the triple jump moonsault on Tim McNeany, but you slipped off the ropes on three different occasions while the crowd mocked you. I was embarrassed for you – I’m the type of person who believes in preserving our legends even when they screw up – but I was more concerned that you would carelessly injure McNeany or yourself. You’ve been in the ring long enough to know that one badly timed move can leave someone paralyzed, but I can’t be sure what, if anything, you were thinking about when you climbed through the ropes that night. Thankfully, the following evening you showed up for the second show of the swing and looked fantastic. Your moves were crisp and the crowd applauded every legdrop, moonsault and dive. You were the Sabu of old and I thought you had turned the corner. However, not long after that, I read that your performance at a Southern date was just as shaky as it was at the first Massachusetts show. Let me be perfectly blunt with you Sabu – the wrestling highway is littered with the sad tales of Brian Pillman, Rick Rude and countless others. And how can we forget Louie Spicolli, a close friend of yours who died way before his time was due. I’m not claiming that you have a substance abuse problem because truth be told, I don’t know you in the least. However, if you do, consider the lessons that the wrestling world has been forced to relearn each time one of its superstars dies at a young age. If not for your health, consider changing your ways in order to preserve your reputation and the legacy you will leave behind when you retire. When you decide to hang up the tights at some point in the future, here’s what I want to remember. I want to remember the Sabu who participated in one of the best matches I’ve ever been fortunate enough to witness – a 30 minute war against Taz and Bam Bam Bigelow at the ECW Arena. I want to remember the Sabu who despite knocking out a row of teeth and bleeding like a faucet, continued a match to its completion in Waltham, MA. I want to remember the Sabu who set the standard for hardcore wrestling by being one of the most innovative performers the sport has been blessed to feature. But mostly, I want to remember the Sabu who could always be counted on to conduct himself as a professional and never shortchange a fan or a promoter. Like I’ve said Sabu, I don’t know you and I don’t know of the problems, if any, you’re dealing with. What I do know is that I, and countless other wrestling fans, think the world of your skills and abilities and want to see you reclaim your spot as one of the wrestling world’s premier performers. You’ve spent years punishing your body and enduring some of the most intense pain a human being can experience in order to earn a living and build a name for yourself. It would truly be a shame if the final chapters in your story are anything less than the ones that preceded it. Just think about it…… Steve Boucher is the deputy commissioner of the New Hampshire Boxing & Wrestling Commission. All feedback, questions, etc. can be directed to Steve at GsteveBoucher@cs.com credit again to 1Wrestling.com for this letter. March 13th, 2001 Raw was good tonight. I was glad to see Shane return. That whole Underetaker/HHH scene with the motorcycle looed like a setup for a UT/Kane v. HHH/Show tag match for Thursday. Maybe it will evolve to a Kane/Big Show hardcore match at Wrestlemania...I'm just glad I didn't have to watch a brutal crapfest matych between Undertaker and Big Show. I thought Paul Heyman did another good job and I thought Tazz did fine calling Smackdown last week. Nitro on the other hand was pretty bad. The Shane Helms match was good, and there are some gems still working for the company. What I don't understand is how they release someone like Crowbar and keep so many other useless boat anchors working there. I read they took Jim Ross off of the Saturday night XFL game to take away some of the wrestling stigma that has been attatched to the games. I don't think anyone thinks of the WWF because JR is calling games...especially when they have JESSEE VENTURA AS THE COLOR GUY. Sometimes I don't understand how people's brains work. I sometimes give my business cards to girls I know or meet. Generally, they find out I do artwork so I give them the card as it has my website address on it where they can see the art. I seriously wonder if any of them have ever gone and looked. Seymore Willis... 
I was in line buying breakfast at the grocery store coming home from the gym and I was a tabloid headline about Bruce Willis dating a porn star.
The caption with his photo said "he calls her Demi in bed".
Coincidentally enough, when I got back in the car, Howard Stern was interviewing Alisha Klass, the girl porn girl seeing Willis. She's famous for being in the Seymore Butts movies. She used to even have "Seymore Butts" tattooed over her ass...I think she's had it changed since she stopped doing his videos. She's done some legitimate acting in movies like Cruel Intentions and television shows like Beverly Hills 90210. However, she is really best known for direct to video hits like Assgasms 2 and Tampa Tushy Fest (love those porn titles). She's in a new movie called Center of the World that will be coming out soon and has a really cool flash website featuring her.  Number Ratings for multiple partners... Okay, you understand the rating scale of 1 to 10 for chicks... 1 being something that survived being burned by acid and then surviving a horrible disfiguring train wreck, and 10 being a Pam Anderson. Basically, you will never see a 1 or a 10 in person, and a 2 or a 9 are rarities. Most good looking girls are between 6 and 8. I've always maintained that a girl's number should be bumped up if you can get her in bed with you AND another chick at the same time. Essentially, I'm saying that getting 2 chicks at once, your minimum standard is quite understandably lower than what you would consider for having sex with one chick on her own. My friend and I came up with an equation for this... 2 on 1... For a threeway with two other chicks, you add their numbers, double it, and divide by 3. So if you have a girl that is a 5, and a girl that is a 6, their collective new number rating is a 7.3. 3 on 1... For the unrealistic opportunity that you can get 3 chicks with you at once (and not paty for it), you would add the three, and divide by 2. The concept of quantity over quality applies as girls rating 4, 5, and 3 would have a collective new rating of 6.
