I've heard of Riot Control before, but this is the first I've heard of them having a titantron. I'm dying. |

I loved that "You are NOT Getting Booked" site until I heard it was run by the guy who books NWA:Smokey Mountain... after that it just seemed petty. Their booking has been atrocious at times as well.

I like to think someone wheels out a tube TV and plays riot controls titantron from a dvd on it.

I once worked a show in Kingsport, Tennessee full of rip-offs - wannabe versions of Kane, James Mitchell, Ricky Morton (who inexplicably got to share a moment with the real thing) and "The Natural" Dustin Rhodes filled the show. The worst two, however, were the co-promoter, Tony "The Dragon" Givens...  ...And the King of Kingsport" Beau James.  Tony might have been an imposter (complete with Steamboat's music, finisher and family-centric entrance), but at least he could work a decent match. James couldn't even do that. He just stood there, waiting for the right moment to hit the world's shittiest piledriver. That show did what even Dale freaking Gagner could not: Kill my desire to work in the business. |

To add the "practice what you preach" there- wasn't Givens the guy who ended up making the "You are NOT getting booked" site, to boot? |

I have seen many a show with Beau James. I don't want to be a jerk, but I will tell you who the biggest Beau James fan is; Beau James. His wife is Misty James by the way. If that rings any bells. |

"Tag-Team Train Wreck" might be my new favorite match name ever. It's like, even the promoters (or at least the guy that made the poster) knows just how much of a cluster that main event will be.

The worst two, however, were the co-promoter, Tony "The Dragon" Givens... I'm sorry but I'm going to need more information on the meeting of the real and fake Ricky Mortons, and the fake Natural! The show began with totally not James Mitchell talking trash about Kingsport, Ricky Morton, Jesus (not directly, but heavily implied) and anything else that came to mind. Morton, who was only supposedly there for an autograph signing, hit the ring and told him to bring his worst. The somewhat-Sinister Minister called out his team: Fake Kane and a guy who looked like a seven-foot tall Chris Harris. (I don't remember their exact name, but it was something long, ridiculous and had a number in it - like "The 305s, The Devil's Own, The Monsters.") Morton started alone, but eventually called out his clone for help him take them down. It was supposed to be this huge moment, but it kind of fell flat. Morton looked like a corpse with a mullet, and "Ricky II" wasn't out long enough to do anything. Gigantic Chris Harris ate the pin. The Dustin Rhodes guy was Cody Ices:  (He also looked nothing like anyone from the Rhodes family aside from his fashion sense.) He was in a "summer surprise" match (four hand wrapped boxes were set in the corner of the ring - Three with gag prizes and one with brass knuckles) against some other guy whose name escapes me at the moment. It went on... and on...and on. Ices ended up losing after some manager came out to help the heel cheat. The man was over. I have to give him that much. |

On the topic of "Dick Foley"...has anyone tried a "Dick Flair"? Instant excuse to get Shane Douglas booked on the show!

You know you're built for success when your gimmick is "Aping the guy from Ready To Rumble, not even an actual wrestler", though I guess Jimmy King was in themselves a ripoff of various wrestler types, like if Jerry Lawler made Jake Roberts' life decisions. |
