After reading the newest late-night post Jerry Lawler put on his WEBSITE, I guess we might not be seeing him anytime in the near future. I saw they put Al Snow in as color commentator for WWF HEat on MTV and he seemed to do a good job. It should be interesting to see who they use for Raw and Smackdown since neither Ross or Cole usually do both days on a regular basis.

Chris Kanyon has posted a few words concerning his start in WWF/WCW on his WEBSITE.

WWF.com has an article on RVD you can read HERE. And they've updated his personal WEBSITE acknowledging his start for ECW/WCW/WWF.

I've also been reading that the WWF has no plans to stop using the ECW name and logos. I guess it can be assumed that they're not doing something stupid and that the lawyers have this worked out.

I'm re-listing over 250 autographs for auction on ebay this week. Check them out HERE.

Mike sent this email...

Dear Sir (If you can even be considered that!!!),

Earlier this morning I logged onto your site as part of my daily ritual of checking out EACH and EVERY wrestling website that I can find. As I was eating my 18th apple cinnamon donut and drinking my double mocha extra large frappachino I was astonished...ASTONISHED!!! I say to read your comments regarding Chyna. CHYNA, the love of my life, the reason for my being. Never mind that everytime I have ever seen her, she has spurned me. Never mind that every time I have asked her for a simple autograph I have been rebuked. Never mind that she is unkind to her fan base as well as disrespectful to the company that made her the star that she is today. She is CHYNA, the ninth wonder of the world!

On your website you stated "Have I mentioned lately how nice its been to not see Chyna on TV anymore?". This is not the first time you have spoken ill of her. I have stood by in the past...but NO MORE SIR!!!! No more, I say. You will show Chyna the respect she deserves. I do not care if she is a greedy, heartless, conniving bitch! Do you hear me!!! I do not!

Rest assured that I (and the dozen or so other fans she has) will follow her career wherever it may take her. In fact now that she is no longer with the WWF, I have a feeling that she may even come down to earth a bit. I expect that after another run in Playboy she'll be wrestling in the indy's. It's a shame that the WWF owns the rights to the name CHYNA... but alas Joanie Laurer will be headling wrestling cards up and down the east coast....DREAM upon DREAM...could I possibly hope for my DREAM match of Joanie Laurer vs. Reno Mero??? perhaps after that she'll end up doing comic book conventions in the basement of churches on weekends, sitting next to other superstars of yesterday (Jimmy Snuka, King Kong Bundy, Iron Mike Sharpe) charging $10 per autographed photo (or $5 if you bring your own photo)... I'll finally be able to get the autograph i've always wanted.

BUT ENOUGH OF MY TANGENT!!!! If I see anymore bad comments directed towards my Joanie I will take action!!! No longer will you be the 34th website I visit each day...you may drop to #79...or even lower. No longer will I visit your merchandise pages and droll over your wares... No sir! I will look elsewhere! Nevermind that I never buy anything anyway, the point is that someday I might...some day I might!!! You'll see...You'll all see!!!!!

And another thing! How dare you slight www.WRESTLINGVIXXENS.com. This site has brought me countless hours of joy!!! JOY I SAY!!!! Oh dare to dream...perhaps one day my Joanie will grace the site with her presence.... ahhhhhhhh

Enough...I have spoken. Good day SIR!!!!


Thanks Mike... We laugh because its funny, but we also laugh because its true.

What's the problem? If the creditors of the bankrupt ECW are causing a stink, the WWF should just buy everything and anything ECW. It makes sense to me, they'd then have the library of old footage. I can almost guarantee that Vince could find a way to make back his investment just on t-shirts that have the ECW logo on them... let alone selling DVD's of all the classic hardcore matches. I would also go ahead and sign the Sandman. He wouldn't cost much and represents (to the fans) so much of what ECW is about.

I've been reading some online information concerning Hulk Hogan's new wrestling promotion and while reading recently that Kid Kash will be on the shows, I'm not too sure who he's got lined up to work for him other than taking a guess at Brutus. Who else is available and not under contract with either the WWF or AOL/Time Warner that's worth using?

Have I mentioned lately how nice its been to not see Chyna on TV anymore? I'm also taking more pleasure than I should out of the firing of Buff Bagwell after being there less than a month. Speaking of fired people... I know he quit, but what are the odds Jerry Lawler will be back by Monday? AND, back to fired people, will the Kat be back as well?



I saw the Final Fantasy movie on Wednesday and while the computer work was amazing, after the first 15 minutes, you really get over it and realize the movie is B-O-R-I-N-G.

What was worth the 7 bucks was the Spider-Man preview that they had debut with the release of Boring Fantasy.

Save some money and see the same preview HERE. Or go to the movie's official WEBSITE.

Remember that the Macho Man Randy Savage is going to be in the movie, so even if you're not into Spider-Man or comic books, you might have to go and see it just to get an idea of what Savage is looking like these days.

If you're into Spider-Man specifically or comic books in general, you might want to visit THE LAST COMIC SITE. Its within the family of websites including FETAL FILM REPORT, CREATURE CORNER and CHUD.COM. All of which I occasionally visit.

Generally, I don't do too much linking to adult sites, but STILEPROJECT.COM is one of the few I go to these days. It often has some interesting things to check out besides all of the smut... not that I have anything against smut, I love anything considered obscene or filthy. But he also has fun things like the soundboards, webcam portals, flash movies, etc. Remember, don't go there if you're under 18 or easily offended by anything "porno". The link actually takes you to a "top 50" links page, and if you click it, I think it helps promote this website something I always appreciate from those who choose to help.

While we're in the gutter...

There's absolutely nothing wrong with having a girl stripping her clothes off in the bottom corner of your screen. Especially when the program is absolutely free to download from VIRTUAGIRLS. I love it when my friends send me links to cool things like this.

A brief AIM follow-up to the email I posted on the 13th...

losrudos1 (10:21:26 PM): I got your email the other day...what did you mean by saying that the past would come back to haunt me?
Theelite31 (10:22:54 PM): don;t know who you are but do you know shane maybe?
losrudos1 (10:24:06 PM): yeah, I know shane. who's this I'm talking to?
Theelite31 signed off at 10:25:56 PM.

I guess he didn't want to talk. Pretty weak when you can't put your name to something you write...anyway, hi Shane. I hope everything is good with you and you're getting your share of the chocolate bunnies. Funny email, especially the Jericho bit, but funnier if I had known it was from you.

Buff Bagwell must be the biggest loser of all time. Getting fired after 2 WWF television appearances is just pathetic. To rub the entire locker room the wrong way and live up to every negative rumor about you is quite a feat. I hope he saved or invested some of that WCW money he made.

Just when you think this whole WCW invasion is going to bite ass, ECW comes back from the dead to save the day...well, sort-of.

Monday's show was just an incredible event and a really great surprise. Along with the invasion angle, the Austin/Angle/Vince segments as well as the Tajiri/Regal sketches are so well written. However, just when I think I'm watching a perfectly flawless show is usually when I hear the Uncke Kracker song start to play.

I guess with what hindsight we now possess, it was pretty obvious that WCW wasn't going to get over with their top superstars being DDP and Booker T. Especially if WWF fans are supposed to care one way or another, we can assume they wanted to see Sting, Flair, Goldberg, etc. which just wasn't going to happen. And while saying never say never, I would expect Jerry Lawler to return to the WWF soon with both Tazz and Heyman gone from the announcing table.

The WWF and WCW websites have new updates concerning this week's events and 1WRESTLING.COM has been posting a lot of news too...if you can deal with all the pop-up ads.

What about Steven Richards? Is he going to ECW? I am curious as to what side Jerry Lynn will end up on as they really should have him fight RVD at the PPV to get them both over instantly. I'm also glad they kept Tajiri where he is with Regal. It will also be interesting to see where the Rock will fit into the current picture... that, and where they'll put Triple H when he's healthy enough to return to television.

While on the subject of ECW, some tool emailed me this:

Just remember that the past could come back to haunt you. Do you still get upset when you see Chris Jericho on TV?


Obviously, this person knows me but lacks the sac to put his name. That, or they've been visiting this website for a long time. Well, I don't know what past there is to haunt me. I've always liked ECW but during that last year as their roster got decimated, their show sucked. If the best they can offer is a 90 year-old fossil like Dusty Rhodes and Steve Corino then I'll thankfully pass on making sure I am home on Friday nights to watch that crap. ECW was always like shipping something book-rate with poor presentation (lighting and other production), and weak storylines. Wait until you see what the WWF does with ECW...music, storylines, etc.

The ECW that is being presented in the WWF never existed. Its an impressive roster...RVD, Tommy Dreamer, Mike Awesome, Lance Storm, Justin Credible, Rhyno, Tazz, Raven, and the Dudley Boys. I don't think Paul was ever able to keep that many good wrestlers on the roster at the same time.

As for the Jericho comment, I've never not liked him as a wrestler. I give credit where credit is due, the man is very good at every aspect of what he does. However, I do think he was a scumbag who wasn't very respectful toward the girlfriend he eventually married. He was a big-time skirt chaser who even had some involvement with my ex-girlfriend both while I was still with her and (according to her) also after we broke up.

Now call me crazy for thinking this but while its not his responsibility to not bang my cheating girlfriend (thats all on her) he should honor his girlfriend with a little respect and keep his dick away from other chicks. But to answer his question, no, I don't get upset when Y2J is on TV as there's really no grudge for me to be holding against him...Like I'd even register a blip on his life's radar. I guess while I'm talking about emails people send, I'll show this one too:

Hi,

Recently I stumbled upon your site (www.LosRudos.com) via E-bay. I noticed that you had a picture of you and Dean Malenko on your site and I was wondering if I could have your permission to use it on my Dean Malenko Fan Page. On my tribute site, I have a section for Dean Malenko photos taken with or by the fans and I would like to place your picture there if you do not mind. Of course, if you give me permission to use your picture, I will give you full credit and supply a link back to your site not only by the picture, but also on the links page and the news page, which is archived monthly. If you do not want me to use your picture, that is fine as well.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

Best Wishes,
Liz

Well go visit her website and if you have pictures of or with Stinko that you want to share with her email them to her. Personally, I don't need to have my personal photos posted on other people's websites especially those paying tribute to the one person that I most hate in the wrestling business.

The guy has always been a total load who has gone out of his way on several occasions to try and have my group of friends and I kicked out of the hotels for simply asking him for an autograph. An autograph that even if I got from him, is absolutely worthless an impossible to sell for more than the cost of the photo. He's also another married man I've watched booze it up at night and hit on chicks.

Have you ever been a wrestling valet?
Have your values slid since becoming a has-been?
Can you still fit into a skimpy bathing suit?
Are you really short on cash?
Then pose nude for WRESTLINGVIXXENS and join Missy, Tammy, and Rayn in baring it all for only $12.95 a month!

Good for them. They're cashing in before it becomes too late. Honestly, what else were they supposed to do? Its not like there's a high-paying job for them in the wrestling business, and they're probably not skilled enough to work a legit job. Even if they are, I would suspect it wouldn't earn them enough for their lifestyles and these chicks aren't used to doing real and honest work anymore. That's for after the last of their looks fade and they haven't married someone who can afford to support them.

Here's some clips of Steve-O from MTV's Jackass...

( CLIP 1 ) ( CLIP 2 ) ( CLIP 3 )

I'm too tired to do the rest now, I'll continue the update in a day or two.
July 5th, 2001
Well, I haven't done an update in awhile. The reason being that some dickless wonder "accidentally" sent me a virus that wiped my computer out for the week. I opened his two emails in the wrong order and got screwed. One would imagine that if you're aware of the fact that you're sending viruses with your emails (and aren't doing it intentionally) that you would have the courtesy not to be sending emails to people until you've got your computer fixed.

Call me crazy, but that sounds like the kind of common sense that this assbag didn't possess. I would bet that this rodsucker sent it on purpose. Do I sound pissed off?

Anyway, I wanted to do a whole big-assed post but I got sprung with a 6-day trip at the last minute to Atlanta/Flint/NYC and have no time until after I get back...which I think will be on Tuesday.

What I'll do instead since my email program still isn't 100% is do some brief announcements to get concerned people up to date.

  • I posted 265 auctions that you might want to look at by clicking HERE.
  • The winner of the free Lita autograph was chosen. I have a new Terri Runnels one to give away on the 15th of August. If you're not REGISTERED yet to win it, you've got until August 14th to do so.
  • I was waiting for a bunch of payments to hopefully mail things out to people. I got a large stack Tuesday which means (because of the holiday) that those payments won't ship until after I get back.
  • Any orders or auctions I've recieved payments for before Tuesday were shipped. If it hasn't arrived yet, it will.
  • Don't get pissed off if your emails are unanswered this week...My computer was down and I WILL BE OUT OF TOWN! So don't be stupid and make an ass of yourself with pissy crybaby emails of how I am ignoring you. I'll just make fun of you later on the website.
Well, sorry for the crappy posting but I have to pack now before it gets too late. I have some long drives ahead of me. Remember to check back next week after I'm back in town and also remember that I really do hate every single one of you.
