RAW Report - September 26, 2011
Monday was my sisters birthday (HAPPY BIRTHDAY!) so I didn't see Raw. I did hear about Jerry Lawler's anal bleeding.
Jerry "The King" Lawler is one of two pro wrestlers I've ever met. He came into the sports store I managed, and looked at our small selection Cleveland Browns merchandise (which was a lot for a store in New York). He said "You got a nice store here!" I said "You're the king, aren't you?" He nodded, and signed an autograph. Best wishes for a speedy recovery, Jerry.
Chordtype's Review - Urban Wrestling Federation
Here's a shitty long review of the latest Urban Wrestling Federation Show called 'Hood Justice.'
Show opened with a recap from First Blood. First thing we see is Murder 1 from the ATL stabbing Lowlife Louie, who I believe is associated with Uncle Murda (no relation to Murder 1) with a fork. Not knowing the back story I can only assume that Lowlife Louie deserved it. They also showed some multiple man match that didn't feature a stabbing. Disappointing. What followed was 3 minutes of men asking other men if they had their money. Then someone shot at a car, with a gun.
Anyway back to the present and the show is about to begin. Shit about to get real.
The show starts with two burly black chaps backstage. They talk about how they have a 'solid relationship' and 'fuck the baddest bitches' and one of them says that 'it's about to get real, real real.' Told you shit was about to get real. Some other unidentified black chap walks up to them. This cunt is apparently fucking with that fool Uncle Murda and that other fool Brisco. This cunt tells them that Brisco and Murda are his homies. I don't know who these people are but I know that they are both after the paper, which I'm guessing means the money.
''Fucking guns man, what the fuck are we seeing? I didn't sign up for this shit" is the first thing that we hear from the commentators.
Another of the commentators who may be Robbie Marino comes out with the solid advice that 'if you play pussy, you get fucked everytime'. Remember that next time you play pussy.
The seemingly 16 man strong commentary team does a good job of putting over the importance of winning on the show. In an era where people complain about championships meaning nothing Urban Wrestling Federation certainly bucks the trend. In WWE, being World Champion means you get a belt but in UWF that championship is about 'money, power, respect, houses, cars, planes, boats, guns, weed, bitches.'
Anyway it's time for the first match.
First out is Ricky Reyes, formally of the Havana Pitbulls. No sign of fellow Pitbull Rocky Romero, who I can only assume has been put down under the rules of the Dangerous Dog Act 1991. Instead Reyes is accompanied to the ring by Cuban Link (no relation to the Nintendo character) and BC Killer (no relation to DC Sniper). He's also accompanied by a tall leggy black woman, the first of many on the show. She appears to be having trouble waking in her heels.
Out next is his opponent Slyck Wagner Brown who comes with earphones in. I'm assuming that he's listening to the timeless classical music of his brother, Bobby Brown. One of the commentators mentions that Wagner may be shook up after getting shot at. What a pussy. Uncle Murda joins Wagner at ringside. In terms of sheer screen presence Uncle Murda is up there with other famous Uncles. I'd put him just behind Uncle Buck but ahead of Uncle Dave, owner of Wonderworld from Beverly Hills Cop III.
Before the match starts we get some high quality graphic to let us know that this is a 'Street King Title Qualifier Match'.

I don't think this has anything to do with the film Street Kings. I really hope it doesn't because that movie was shit.
Anyway the match is about to start. I won't bother recapping the matches because nobody watches the Urban Wrestling Federation for the in ring action. The commentary is for the most part largely nonsensical but great. One of them appears to speak only in rhyme. It's just like watching 8 Mile. Someone comes out and attacks BC Killer and they battle back to the backstage area as the focus goes back to the action outside the ring. The pinnacle of the in ring action was Wagner lifting Reyes for a delayed vertical suplex. As soon as he had him up one of the commentators immediately began his count at 4….5….6, then quickly said 'look at this' and somehow in the passing 3 seconds managed to make it up to 20.

I must note that there is apparently no rules in the UWF except the rope break rule, which I believe to be a knowing tribute to the Japanese UWF. Anyways Reyes locked in the crippler crossface and Wagner tapped out.
Next up we have a shit load of backstage stuff. I recognized Willie Mack but that's it. The apparent leader of this 'crew' leaves and some white fella walks in. Basically they are all trying to get down with the leaders bird.
Now two people are walking past each other trying at Uncle Murda's building. Two white chaps are leaving and two black chaps entering. It's like a big multiracial orgy.
The narrative of this show is proper confusing like Memento or the ending to Ocean's Eleven. Anyway I'm skipping loads of stuff because I don't know what's happening.
The artist formerly known as Sabian, Jeez apparently 'fucks up someone's pussy'. Not what you think.
There might have been a segment with the S.A.T. but they didn't speak so I can't be sure.
I think the basic point of this was to show that people want money. In between this someone bought someone's spot in a match and sealed the deal with a bro shake so quick not even the highest quality slow motion camera could capture it.
Also Uncle Murda commented that Beyonce looked nice. I don't think he used the phrase 'looked nice' though. He said something far more urban.
Right so, it's time for match number 2, which may turn out to be an appropriate name for it. Thankfully they have a graphic for each person that comes out because I'm rubbish at putting names to faces and all black people look the same to me. First out is someone called 40 Glocc with Willie Mack and Famous B. I know Willie Mack from PWG but have no idea who Famous B is or what he is famous for. They also have a leggy woman with them (the same one everyone wanted to get with earlier). Wonder why?
Next out is Billy Blue, who is actually black. He's the guy who's pussy got 'fucked up earlier'. He's out there acting an apostle to his main man Jeez.
Out next is Brisco, the third Brisco brother, who is related to both Mark and Jay and Jack and Gerald depending on which wrestling newsletter you believe and how you feel about the correct spelling of the name. He isn't given a first name so we'll call him Dark Brisco. Dark Brisco was apparently responsible for the name change of the famous Brisco Brother's Body Shop to Brisco Brother's Chop Shop. Brisoco's representative in the match is Bandito Junior, one half of the Danish Dance duo Junior Senior. Scorpio Sky comes out a couple of minutes after the match has started. Unreliable. He doesn't get a picture because of this.
Anyway the match starts and the commentators give a masterclass in urban similes. The highlight included the double whammy of 'he just shitted on him like x-lax' and 'sprung like a sack of shit.' Take that Gil Scott-Heron.
This was basically your old X Division PPV opener with black people instead of Chris Sabin and Petey Williams. Jeez won with a doublestomp off the top rope, or as it's also known the finish to every CZW undercard match from 2008 on.
More vignette shit. The two punks that were leaving Uncle Murda's 'crib' ran into someone else who wanted to talk to the Uncle. Murda tells him that money ain't rolling in like it's mean to be. See even Murdaing ain't recession proof. Should have gotten into selling crack or healthcare.
Now for a bit of drama straight out of The OC. Rasche Brown has been told that someone been fucking with one of his bitches and he ain't happy. He calls out "Rich Ortiz" which we're told is his 'government name'. When you have an actual shooting with a gun on your show, shooting with 'government names' seems rather redundant. Still it was an insightful look behind the curtain.
Out comes Ortiz, billed as Beast Ortiz. Beast Ortiz is an interesting fella. He's as big at four cats and rumor has it that instead of a mouth he's got four arses. My pictures are inconclusive. He tells Rasche that's he's too angry and needs to calm down. He says that he's got some cream for that and they both start fucking in the ring. The crowd love it.
That's what should have happened to end this bloodshed. Instead Beast insinuates that Rasche's bitch has an unshaven vagina. No conclusive proof is given. Instead of a close up of a vagina we are given another high quality graphic letting us know that this is another Street King Title Qualifier Match.
Anyway they both have a match where they trade forearms NOAH style. One of them teases a superplex from the top rope into the crowd about 30 foot away. That would have been good. Rasche won with a spear in what was a decent match. Nothing to write home about though. Not that anybody who bought this show can write mind you.
So that's the end of the wrestling. Now it's time for the street fighting. It's not actually on a street but a rather narrow back alley. Lowlife Louie, the kind of person you expect to be in a back alley calls out Murder 1, the same chap that shanked him with the fork OZ style. Ain't no Tim McManus here this time though to keep the peace this time. They start fighting in the alley and suddenly one of them starts making the fucking Cactus Jack noise. It's really annoying and makes you wish that the person doing it would get shot in a drive by, which statistically probably will happen. For some reason there is rings of barbed wire in this alley and naturally it's used, as is a plastic bag. I think Louie put the bag over Murder's face and I'm not sure If he died because my copy of the show just suddenly ends.
Just in case, R.I.P. Murder 1. Looking forward to reading your Hitman Observer obit.
Can't wait for the next show.

INSIDER NEWZ
One of my “Best friends” Sinbad sent
an article to Bryan and Dave instead of me, so he has officially been banned
from submitting anything to the Hitman Observer Newsletter.
I’ve taken a much more hands off
approach in my second week as the leader of Wrestling Observer/F4Wonline. Things seem to be running smoothly.
Due
to space restrictions, the review of TNA Impact for September 29 will be in the
next issue.
