en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xtreme_Pro_Wrestlingaccording to the end WWE purchase their tape library yesterday for use on WWE 24/7. Is that true, because even though the promotion sucked it'll be cool to use for things like Best of Sabu and stuff like that.

I'm gonna guess Jimmy Hart had a hand in getting this done - I thought he owned some part of the company (he definitely got Hogan to show up there a few years ago).

You're thinking of a different promotion, for sure. I forget what it was called, even though it has a match on Hogan's DVD. XPW was the one run by Rob Black, the porn guy. Had some ex-ECW guys, was around for a little before ECW even shut down.

XPW was the crappy ECW knock off owned by Rob Black. Whoops, I was beat to it. I wonder if this is true, because more footage on 24/7 and WWE DVD's is a good thing.

Well, Damien Steele is under a WWE developmental deal. Perhaps they are going to use the XWF footage to introduce people to the "Real Deal" He was the XPW champ for quite a while as I recall.

Cool, maybe we'll get to see such classics as the Chris Hamrick vs. Kaos ladder match and a series of Supreme vs. "Hardcore Homo" Angel matches on 24/7! With 80% of Kris Kloss' commentary bleeped out or dubbed over by Michael Cole!

That's two different Damien Steeles. The guy you're thinking of is white. The Damien Steele in DSW is a black guy with a "Carlton" gimmick.

He is part owner of this horribly sleazy fed out here in Southern California. Oh, and on the undercard of this event...The Hardcore Homo was featured in a dildo on a pole match that ended in the mens room.

Well, it's one of the few times Michael Cole is an improvement. To be honest, I still almost prefer Kloss' ridiculous falsetto screaming and "HOLY F****** S***" type catchphrases to Michael Cole's announcing.

I have only read bits and pieces about Steele being under a developmental deal, so I naturally assumed it was the real deal. My dreams are now shattered. Though, soon, I will remember how much the "Real Deal" sucked, and I'll feel better.
