The Real Truth

The Real Truth

Yes, It is true that we had a flat near Memphis Yesterday. The part that is untrue is that Hollywood & Death Wish claim to have fixed the flat tire. Hollywood, You say that you hurt your back fixing the flat tire.

How did you do that?

Neither you or Death Wish lifted one finger to help out. You two were to busy sipping on colas & eating hot dogs.

Death Wish & Hollywood continued arguing on who would fix the flat tire. I had to take it upon myself to fix the flat tire or we would have been there all night long.

I couldn't believe how lazy they were.
I had to do ALL the work.

All they wanted to do was boss me around.

Death Wish was to scared he was going to get his hands dirty.
Hollywood was to scared that he was going to pop a sweat.

The both of them were arguing due to it taking so long.
They were in a hurry to get to a restaurant to sit down and eat.

These two were incredibly annoying.

They were even selfish enough to celebrate bossing people around.

Take my Advice, don't EVER ride with Death Wish or Hollywood.

Where, O Where can Alex Wright Be?

Where, O Where can Alex Wright Be?

Alex Wright was born to be a wrestler. Alex Wright's father, Stephen Wright, was a professional wrestler for many years. Stephen began training Alex to become a wrestler at an early age.

Alex spent time performing in Japan & Germany before fully committing himself to WCW in 1994. During this time, Alex had many memorable feuds against top-notch stars, such as Dean Malenko, Eddie Guerrero, Diamond Dallas Page, and Ric Flair. Alex didn't get his big push until 1997 when he became "Evil" Alex Wright, a wrestler who believed that his good looks made others incredibily jealous of him. He won the WCW Cruiserweight Championship in 1997 from Chris Jericho on Monday Nitro. Later that year, he lost the title back to Jericho. Two weeks later, he won the WCW Television Championship from Ultimo Dragon. He held the belt for awhile until he lost in a match against Disco Inferno.



Alex became affiliated with WCW when WCW had a German Tour. At that time, there was a big TV talk show in Germany,which some wrestlers from WCW had to attend to promote the tour. It was Sting,Johnny B. Badd (Marc Mero), and Alex Sharpe, the WCW Public Relations. The topic of the talk show was pro-wrestling. At that time, he was just beginning to wrestle, and was the youngest pro wrestler in Germany, so the TV show called Alex. When Alex got there he met with Sting, Johnny and Alan. Then Alex had a try out match against Paul Roma. They liked his work very much. Alex finished the rest of the German tour. After that they made him an offer for a training contract. Which of course, Alex took.


Fact: Triple H's first PPV match was against Alex Wright at Starrcade in 1994.

In 1999, promotional spots began appearing on WCW television featuring Alex as a new Rivethead-style character named Berlyn. Berlyn wore all black and had a long trench coat. He had a black mohawk and goatee. Berlyn refused to speak English. The promos coincided with the aftermath Columbine school massacre, which threw a hitch in WCW's plans. Sensing the unintentional similarities in dress between Berlyn and the teenage killers, WCW delayed the debut of Berlyn for several months.



According to Alex, the Berlyn gimmick was created by Alex, Diamond Dallas Page, Dusty Rhodes, & Alex's wife.

Finally Berlyn debuted. Although it was well-known that he did know English, this was explained by having the announcers tell them that Berlyn hated America so much, he won't even speak its language anymore. He had multiple bodyguards, and appeared every night in a limo. Berlyn set out his first challenge to Buff Bagwell, and was slated to face him at Fall Brawl. However, due to Buff not making it in time to the arena, Berlyn faced "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan, another true American. Berlyn defeated Duggan with an illegal shot from one of the bodyguards, followed by a neckbreaker. On the next Nitro, Berlyn won in a similar fashion over Bagwell. His main bodyguard who did the attacks soon became known as Berlyn's Wall.

Berlyn would briefly feud with his former bodyguard for a time, with no PPV match coming out of it. He also competed in the WCW World Tag-Team Title Tournament, being paired up with "The Dog-Faced Gremlin" Rick Steiner. Unfortunately, the two individuals could not co-exist, and lost in the first round to PG-13. Berlyn then slowly drifted out of WCW, with his angle having run its course. For the next few months, Berlyn was not seen in professional wrestling, spending more time with his new wife in Germany.



In October '00, the Disco Inferno had broken away from his compatriots in the Filthy Animals, due to various miscues between them. In his feud with Konnan, Billy Kidman, & Rey Mysterio Jr, Disco was outnumbered. During a match-up with Konnan on a Monday Nitro, Alex Wright reappeared, bald but still dancing. He helped Disco win the match, allying himself once again with the Disco Inferno. They formed the tag-team the Boogie Knights, and soon had a major feud going with the Filthy Animals. The Natural Born Thrillers were also included, due to their problems with the Animals. At Halloween Havoc '00, the Boogie Knights fought in a Triangle Match against Kidman & Mysterio and the Tag-Team Champions, Jindrak & O'Haire. It was a wild affair, with three men being legal at all times. In the end, while Wright was fighting with others on the outside, Disco was hit by O'Haire's Sean-Tom Bomb and pinned, allowing Jindrak & O'Haire to keep the tag-team titles.

After that defeat, both Wright & Disco slowly faded out from WCW, rarely appearing on the major shows. Wright made one more big appearance in late January '01, when CEO Ric Flair tried to name him the next #1 Contender to the World Title, held by "Big Poppa Pump" Scott Steiner. Kevin Nash, however, disagreed with the call, and when Wright decided to attack him, Nash powerbombed Wright straight through the stage. Wright then did not make another appearance in the Turner-ran WCW.

Wright has not appeared on American television since then. In the years following Wright has stayed away from active competition, only wrestling on rare occasions in Germany. Despite this, Wright is still well-respected as a wrestler, as indicated by Ring of Honor fans chanting his gimmick name at ROH shows.

Today he is working as a banker and fitness instructor in Nuremberg, in addition to opening a school called "The Wright Stuff" in Germany.

At a ECW show in Revere, Massachusetts on November 23, 1996, an incident took place that has been talked about years later. It is referred to as the Mass Transit Incident.

The Mass Transit was a 350 pound teenager named Eric Kulas. Eric Kulas had a dream of being a professional wrestler. Eric had claimed that Killer Kowalski had trained him and he was age 19, which later both statements proved to be false. In reality, Eric had little to no previous training. Eric Kulas convinced Paul Heyman to allow him to fill in for Axl Rotten. Axl was schedule to work a tag team match with D-Von Dudley against The Gangstas (New Jack & Mustapha Saed). Eric Kulas replaced Axl in the match.

During the match, D-Von & Mustapha brawled outside of the ring. New Jack & Mass Transit fought inside the ring. The match was a squash match as New Jack severely beat Eric with foreign objects such as chairs and toasters. Eric was informed before the match that he would have to blade. Eric Kulas asked New Jack to blade him since he had never done it himself. New Jack agreed. After Eric had taken some brutal weapon shots from New Jack. New Jack ended up cutting Eric's forehead to deeply with an exacto knife and severed two arteries in Eric's forehead. The footage of the event showed Eric screaming immediately after being cut. Following the blading, Eric was hit with several more weapon shots before New Jack pinned him. As the camera zoomed in on the blood pouring out of Eric's forehead, a medical worker rushed into th ring to help Eric. New Jack grabbed the microphone and with one foot on the unconscious teenager's chest stated, "McMahon, Bischoff, look at this mother******.....As far as I'm concerned, that fat piece of s*** can bleed to f****** death, because I don't give a f***."

During this incident, Eric's father was at ringside. His father was yelling at The Gangstas to "Take it easy on him, he's just a kid."

The incident led In Demand to cancel the Barely Legal pay-per-view. Paul Heyman pleaded with In Demand, and was finally able to convince the company that they had been misguided, and were placed back on the schedule some time later.

New Jack was tried on charges of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon three years later. New Jack was later sued by the Kulas Family. The Jury discharged New Jack in the criminal trial, and he was later declared not liable in the civil trial.

The Rise and Fall of ECW book stated that as the medical crew carried Eric Kulas out, he was escorted by Tommy Dreamer. Dreamer held his hand to comfort him.

New Jack later stated in interviews that after he found out about Eric's fraud, he didn't have any remorse for what he had done.

Sadly On May 12, 2002, Eric Kulas passed away at the age of 22 due to complications from gastric bypass surgery.


Here is a video of the incident.

A Christmas Edition

Welcome to this very special CHRISTmas edition of On My Mind.

First, I hope that each and everyone of you have a blessed Christmas.

Christmas is truly the best time of the year. I love spending Christmas moments with my family & friends, sending and receiving Christmas cards, eating turkey and dressing, listening to Christmas carols, and most of all celebrating the birth of our Jesus Christ.

Earlier this week, I got an opportunity to speak to several superstars including Former WCW star "The Ragin' Cajun" Lash Leroux.

Lash Leroux has been showing off his talents all over the world. Lash has held titles in promotions all across the world including WCW.



I was also lucky enough to speak to Memphis Wrestling's Pokerface. He has worked with the top names from California to Florida and everywhere in between, and has held NWA titles.



I also got to speak with Pappy. Pappy is currently in the run-offs for Most Improved Wrestler on WrestlingNewsCenter.com. Pappy has worked promotions all over the Mississippi area including XOW, All-Pro, JTW, and many more.

I also got the opportunity to speak to Neil "The Real Deal" Taylor.

Neil has been a superstar on Memphis Wrestling. He has been showing off his talents to the entire world. Neil has worked with the top names of the business.



Cannon took time out of his busy schedule to speak about his Christmas plans & memories. Cannon is one of the most dedicated workers around. Cannon is a very well known name in the Arkansas area.

Chris Lexx also took time to speak to us about his memories and plans.
Chris is a popular name in the Memphis area. He has worked in many promotions such as CWA, TLCW, and many more.

What is your favorite thing about the Christmas season?

Lash: The lights and the cold weather. I absolutely love walking outside and
taking a long, deep breathe of cold air. It just seems cleaner and crisper!

Pokerface: My favorite thing about the Christmas season is the chance to do something extra special for my friends and family. Plus after all the money I spend on gifts, it warms my heart to see my six year old son's face light up when he opens his gifts. It makes it all worth it.

Pappy: I have always loved this time of year, mostly I like it cause I get to see alot of my family that I don't really see that often.

Neil: food...family...free stuff! lol

Cannon: Being with my family and friends.

Lexx: Eating and Family coming together

What are your plans for the holiday?

Lash: Laying low with my family. We usually eat a LOT of food and go to the movies. If there are several good flicks, we'll sometimes see up to three movies in a row!

Pokerface: I plan on spending sometime with my little sister who's flying in from Houston. And eating so much sushi that I start to grow scales.

Pappy: My plans are to have my Christmas with my family, and go see my grandfather's grave, after that I have to work.

Neil: Just being home and healing up my foot!

Cannon: Going to my mother-in-law home for Christmas dinner, etc.

Lexx: To be with the family and everything go smoothly lol

What is the worst gift you have ever received?

Lash: Once, someone actually gave me a book they had already read. I swear--
they wrapped it and everything.

Pokerface: The worst gift I ever got was from one of my ex-girlfriends. She bought me a bottle of cheap cologne, without even putting any real thought into the gift.

Pappy: The worst gift I have ever gotten is this ugly jacket that my aunt got me one year thank God that it was to small lol.

Neil: when I was it kid it was always clothes.

Cannon: Right now not being with my entirely family.

Lexx: ....coal, that darn Santa lol. Seriously, it had to be the year that someone gave me a sweater with every color under the rainbow in it. Oh, and too small.

What did you ask Santa for this year?

Lash: Oh, nothing overbearing. Just a Play-Doh Fun Factory and the ability to explain cold fusion to the masses. Cold fusion is the concept of a nuclear fusion reaction occurring at conditions near room temperature and atmospheric pressure.

A few scientists believe that they can produce such a reaction in electrolytic
cells. Skeptics argue that this is not possible and that the temperature required for thermonuclear reactions is well over one million degrees Celsius. Regardless, it's a lot less complicated than it sounds.

Pokerface: I asked Santa to ask God to let me see many more CHRISTmas's.

Pappy: I ask for the same thing every year is for everyone to be healthy, and also I want to see a white Christmas.

Neil: health and GAP gift cards and a new pair of Versace sunglasses.

Cannon: pray for my wife health to improve.

Lexx: Good health and happiness and a new wrestling action figure.

Any Christmas wishes you want to give to the viewers of HollywoodJimmy.com?

Lash: Yes... May you have a wonderful Christmas and may the New Year bring you that special ability to absorb large quantities of hydrogen (including its deuterium isotope), in the hope that deuterium atoms will be close enough together to induce fusion at ordinary temperatures!

Pokerface: For all the viewers I wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from Naughty by Nature and the Pokerface Family. God Bless!

Pappy: I would like to tell everyone to have a MERRY CHRISTMAS and a Happy New Year.

Neil: PLEASE! Keep talking about me! lol

Cannon: No matter what you think of me I want to wish everybody a happy holiday and a safe new year.

Lexx: Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!!




I know all of us have received bad Christmas gifts in the past. When I was 15, my elderly neighbor brought over a gift for me. She kept on and on about how it was the perfect gift for me. Finally, I opened it in front of all of my friends. It happened to be a Barney hat that had the lyrics to the Barney theme song on it. LOL.

Everyone thinks they have received the worst gift. These next gifts will make our worst gifts not look so bad. Here are the top ten worst Christmas gifts.

The Top 10 Worst Christmas Gifts

10. Chia Pets
9. Membership to a diet program
8. Donny & Marie Christmas CD
7. Dental Floss
6. Fruit Cake
5. Padded toliet seats
4. Scratched lottery tickets
3. A coupon for one dollar off paper towels!

& Wow what a great way to celebrate the season with the top worst gift
EVER..

1. Divorce Papers

This list makes our worst gifts look fantastic.


Christmas Carols are always a fun part of the season, but does everyone really know the lyrics?

Here are some Interpretations of Christmas Carol Lyrics

- Deck the Halls with Buddy Holly.

- We three kings of porridge and tar.

- On the first day of Christmas my tulip gave to me.

- Later on we'll perspire, as we dream by the fire.

- He's makin' a list, chicken and rice.

- With the jelly toast proclaim.

- Olive, the other reindeer.

- Frosty the Snowman is a ferret elf, I say.

- Sleep in heavenly peas.

- In the meadow we can build a snowman, Then pretend that he is sparse and brown.

- You'll go down in Listerine.

- Oh, what fun it is to ride with one horse, soap and hay.

- O come, froggy faithful.

- You'll tell Carol, "Be a skunk, I require."

- Good tidings we bring to you and your kid.


Now on a serious note, lets not forget the whole reason we celebrate the holiday:
To celebrate the birth of Christ.




The Christmas Star by Mary Garren

May the Light that shone
from the Christmas Star
On that night so long ago
Fall on you this Christmas night
and set your face aglow.
May it shine from your eyes.
May it rest in your mind.
May it burn in your Spirit bright.
May the Peace it spoke to a weary world.
Bring joy to your heart tonight.

I want to conclude this column by Thanking Lash Leroux, Pokerface, Pappy, Neil Taylor, Cannon, and Chris Lexx for their contributions.


Here on HollywoodJimmy.com & WrestlingNewsCenter.com, I want to wish each and everyone of you a wonderful Christmas filled with all of your favorite things.

Merry Christmas,

Tia Blaylock

Hey everyone,

Welcome to another edition of "On My Mind." I hope you all had a great thanksgiving.

ECW star Balls Mahoney has became a father after his girlfriend gave birth to a 9 pound baby boy on Thanksgiving. They named the child Christopher. What a very thankful day they had.

I have read that Dawn Marie noted that she's interested in coming to TNA. I think she has so much talent to offer to TNA. Although with relationship issues with a few major stars as well as road agent Pat Kenney, she may not be welcomed. I hope they can get their differences worked out & for her to come to TNA.

As you all know, Chris Jericho is back at work. How many times can he brag about how great he looks?



Shawn Michaels Heartbreak & Triumph DVD will officially be released tomorrow! I know that will be one thing on my wishlist this Christmas. ;)




Amy Winehouse is a HUGE wrestling fanatic. According to the Sun, Amy used to be addicted to watching the WWE shows Smackdown & Raw. Rob Van Dam & Chris Jericho are a few of her favorites. Amy finally met Chris Jericho & her friends claim she hadn't stop boasting to her pals it. Her friends claim that Amy was so excited about meeting him, she wouldn't stop talking about about it. She was much more excited to meet a wrestler than any musician & that she used to go crazy whenever Rob was on TV.

I hope you all enjoyed this week's edition of On My Mind!

Zac Hanson and His Wife Expecting a Baby

How exciting!!! I just had to post this.



Make way for the eleventh member of the Hanson clan: Zac, the youngest of the Hanson trio, and his wife Kate are expecting their first child in May, they tell PEOPLE exclusively.

"I am utterly thrilled at the thought of becoming a father," says Zac, 22. "I can't wait to meet this person." Adds Kate, 23, "This is the most amazing time for us. It's the most romantic thing we've ever done."

The newest addition to the Hanson family romper room will join Ezra, 5, Penelope, 2, River, 1 (middle brother Taylor, 24 and his wife Natalie's children) and Everett, 7 months (eldest brother Isaac, 27, and his wife Nikki's son). "It will be really fun to see five little ones grow up together," says Zac. "I know watching them is going to inspire a lot of music."

Not to mention a new logistics plan for the band, currently touring with their families in tow to promote their album The Walk. On a single tour bus. Says Kate, "We may have to start thinking about expanding to two buses!"

Welcome to another edition of "On My Mind".

I want to first start off by giving a big THANK YOU to all of my great family & friends for all the birthday wishes, phone calls, and e-mails. I really appreciate you all thinking of me on my special day.

I usually try to avoid writing about conflicts of the wrestling world, but this one involves our website.

I feel that if you take a jab at the website, you are taking a jab at me.

I have been designing HollywoodJimmy.com since I was 12 years old. There have been a lot of hard work, time, and dedication from all of our HollywoodJimmy.com crew including myself that has made HollywoodJimmy.com what it is today.

I have read claims that HollywoodJimmy.com is copying everything another website does. That is FALSE.

I have always created new features for the website. Some of these features have succeeded while others have failed. That is all apart of creating success. When I hear workers & fans at the shows talking about HollywoodJimmy.com & now WrestlingNewsCenter.com, that is an honor. That means we have succeeded in our website. It is an honor to hear people speak about the websites I have designed.

There is also talk about how the 2007 WrestlingNewsCenter Awards are copycats. That is also false. Axeman has been delivering the end of the year awards for many years now. A few weeks ago, I received a phone call from a friend that suggested we have a 2007 Awards that fans nominate & vote for. I thought the idea over & decided that the idea was clever. I figured everyone who visits our website would enjoy it. It would be a fun way to end the year.

I want to end this column by stating that all the claims of us copying any other websites are false.

HollywoodJimmy.com's success is a result of dedication from all of the team at HollywoodJimmy.com. I am THANKFUL for all the hard work our column writers put into their columns, for the people who post on the WrestlingNewsCenter, & especially those of you who visit our website. I appreciate it very much. If it wasn't for you all, HollywoodJimmy.com would not be as successful as it is today.

THANK YOU!!!
