For the results I just posted, let me know if you know who Savage-T was paraphrasing in his quote about hitting Ted DiBiase with his left hand. It's based on a quote really spoken by an official LOW wrestler who was part of the first edition/boxed set.

The quote was from Harley Race.

You didn't give me enough chances, I would have figured it out after 22 more guesses!

I just heard that quote, which I had Savage-T paraphrase, for the first time while watching WWE 24/7 last week. On WWE 24/7, there is a Legends program currently offered called "The Bada***s of Wrestling" in which a panel led by Jim Ross discusses the bada***s of wrestling. Also on the panel for that show: Tazz, Michael Hayes, Mick Foley, and Pat Patterson and it was Foley who brought up that quote from Race. Bruiser Brody was another LOW wrestler discussed on this program.

I swear, after I read the clue you posted that I would have guessed Race.. but alas, I came to this thread a couple days too late for it to count for anything..

Mr. Vegas,

I came here wondering how the "Raping Red Bastien" angle was playing out in your fed (that's not a typo ), and didn't see it anywhere in the last three cards.

I do look forward to seeing Savage T not only serve as MDM's servant, but also take orders from Virgil as well. It would be a classic exchange! And Wargames should be sweet.

I also like the Mr. Canada act. Keep it up.

Breaking News:

With Smackdown's draft selection of Nikolai Volkoff on last week's episode of RAW, MLW Chairman Bruno Sammartino has declared the MLW Tag Team Championship, held by the Iron Sheik and Nikolai Volkoff, to be vacant.

Upon the conclusion of Major League Wrestling's (MLW's) draft in 2 weeks following the PPVs Vengeance and The Great American Bash, Sammartino has ordered that an 8 man tag team tournament comprised of wrestler's on RAW's brand will determine the new MLW Tag Team Champions.

Did Bruno say "Doggone it" when he had to vacate the tag titles? He has a real potty mouth.

Maybe he said, "Poppycock".

Bruno would never use such profanities.

Mr. Vegas, interesting angle by booting one of your champs to the opposite brand. Are these drafts random, or how do you come up with them?

or he might have said "poopiesmack" for all we know.


EDIT: someone would need to smack Bruno really hard upside the head if he really did say "poopiesmack."

Perhaps Bruno dropped an F bomb. ;D

Just like with the WWE's drafts, my current ongoing draft between my RAW and Smackdown brands isn't random. After using relatively the same rosters for awhile, I'm just using the draft to sort of shake things up in my fed and create some new matchups. For example, I am interested in teaming up Nikolai Volkoff with Ivan Koloff (they were former tag team champions in Eddie Graham's Florida territory) so I selected Volkoff as one of the draft picks to go from RAW to Smackdown where he can join Koloff. My draft is about halfway complete with 2 weeks to go.

After my draft is complete, I'm also going to release (but they may return in the future) a few wrestlers from each brand and replace them with some wrestlers from Legends International and with some of the other official LOW cards not currently on the active roster for either my RAW brand or my Smackdown brand. Because I wasn't using him much, I was going to include Red Bastien in these cuts. But since he's started rapping, Bastien may have saved his job for now.

Just like Cena's career was saved. Will Red reach the same heights?

OK, it's time to get Major League Wrestling (MLW) going again.

Major League Wrestling (MLW)

Preview for this week's show by MLW's RAW brand:

-"Pick Your Poison": The Crusher and World Champion Nick Bockwinkel will each pick each other's opponents' on this epsiode of RAW just 1 week before they fight each other for Bockwinkel's title at Vengeance.

- Another wrestler from MLW's Smackdown brand will be drafted to MLW's RAW brand

- Bruiser Brody vs Don Muraco (just 1 week until Brody wrestles both Muraco and Mr. Perfect -Perfectly Magnificent- at Vengeance in a handicap match)

- Rapping Red Bastien vs Iron Sheik

- Will Yukon Eric finally get the courage to ask out Ida Mae Martinez?

All this and much much more on this week's ediiton of RAW!

[Chad Olson]

Excited to see more MLW action! I'll be interested to see who Bock and the Crusher pick for each other leading up to the PPV.

Perhaps Yukon Eric needs to drink a Bud & Clamato for courage...

Yeah, although it might just be a token appearance, there will have to be some Budweiser & Clamato reference on one of my upcoming cards (either RAW or Smackdown) this week.
