"Comatose" by Skillet hits
as we open to the travelling
Wristlock studio on our host
Mieke Janssen. The set is
similar to last week's,
except there's a second
chair on the other side of
the end table which is empty
at the moment. As the music
fades out, Mieke greets the
viewing audience.
Mieke: Hello, and welcome
back to the Wristlock. I've
got plenty I'd like to
discuss this week but first
I've got an interview to
start us off with. My first
guest here on the Wristlock,
Joe Dick.
"Motherfucker Of The Year"
by Motley Crue starts to
play, and Joe makes his way
into the studio. Surveying
his surroundings with a smug
look about him he leans back
in his chair.
Mieke:
I'd ask you how
you're doing today Joe but
to be honest I don't really
care because you're a
jackass.
Joe gives a wry smirk.
Joe: I love you too.
Not seeming to care about
his reaction at all, Mieke
continues on.
Mieke: Right, now getting
right into the questions.
First off, I as well as the
people watching at home
would like to know what the
story is behind your ring
name. Because really, I
think most people would
agree that it's pretty
stupid.
Letting out a slight chuckle
beforehand, Joe answers.
Joe: It's a moniker I've had
for a long time, well before
I became a grappler. And
it's not just a name, it's a
way of life. Can you
honestly look and me and say
that everything about me
doesn't scream "Joe Dick"?
Before she can say anything
he answers for her.
Joe: No, of course not. Now,
next question please.
She lets out a sigh and just
shakes her head.
Mieke: Right, just lovely.
Now, you showed up here and
attacked Brian Sasso on your
first night here.
Premeditated or not? It
seemed all too convenient
how things worked out for
you taking his place against
Ally. Not to mention there
just happened to be a pipe
there. I know you're one to
spontaneously attack people,
but the pieces just seemed
to fall into place all too
well there.
Stretching his arms over his
head Joe smirks.
Joe: Well then, cutting
right to the chase now
aren't we? Well I'll answer
you since you're giving me
those "fuck me" eyes I can't
resist. Yeah, I had a plan
to attack someone from one
of the top matches that
night. Seemed like it would
make an impact, so why not?
Just ended up happening to
be him. Was it a possibility
I could get inserted into a
match? Yeah, but I was
hardly counting on it. I
could have also gotten
shitcanned on the spot. A
risk I was willing to take
though, I was either
entering this place my way
or not at all.
He shrugs his shoulders, as
Mieke looks at him
unimpressed with his
nonchalant attitude.
Mieke: Well I don't think
I'm alone in thinking your
way of doing things sucks.
But you are on a roll and
seem to have a direction,
I'll give you that much.
Joe doesn't seem fazed at
all by that.
Joe: I don't expect people
to like it, in fact I really
hope they don't. Besides my
joy in seeing people who are
all pissed off failing to
kick my ass, the fact is the
more people pissed at you
that you've got the more
spotlight you get. I know
people around here have a
tendency to just sit back
and let shit happens, so hey
... I'll keep pushing shit
until they don't have a
choice but to react.
Mieke: Well I'm sure you'll
get your come uppance sooner
rather than later. Speaking
of people who have a gripe
with you, this week you're
facing Thomas Von Karstein
in the main event of Edge.
Do you have any words about
your first main event here?
Without pausing at all, Joe
deadpans back.
Joe: I do, and I'll say
those words in these crazy
little things called promos
this week.
Undeterred she fires back.
Mieke: It's a novel concept,
but sometimes people have
stuff to say that doesn't
fit in their promos. But of
course I forgot, this is
coming from the man who'll
ramble on about any
pointless bullshit he feels
like.
That only makes the cocky
smirk on his face grow.
Joe: I'm the undefeated
wrestler, you're the mark
who got given a talk show. I
think I'll be the judge of
what belongs in my promos
and what doesn't. I'll talk
about midgets giving rimjobs
to sheep if I feel like.
She rolls her eyes in an
exaggerated manner.
Mieke: Oh get over yourself,
you walk around with this
sense of entitlement like
you're actually something
special. Well, this company
has a way of making people
who have that attitude
either realize they're lucky
to be here and not vice
versa. And when the day
comes for you to be knocked
down a peg, what will you be
left as then? A white trash
loser that likes donuts.
Joe: Yeah, I'm not changing
who I am so spare the little
speech okay sugartits? Now,
do you actually have any
more questions to ask?
Mieke: As much as I'd love
to continue this discussion,
I do have the rest of the
show to get to so that will
be it for now. Thanks for
coming on the Wristlock Joe.
She smirks slightly as she
says that.
Joe: Oh, you'd better be
thanking me with the ratings
bump I'm gonna give this bad
boy ... later.
He stands up and walks off
the set, blowing a kiss
which Mieke ignores before
exiting.
Mieke: Well then, with that
out of the way it's time to
look back at February
Revolution. A show where as
usual, the SWA delivered on
Pay Per View. Starting us
off we had a promo by AJ
Angel, or should I say Angel
Acheron. Her admission that
she's Damien's daughter
while certainly out of
nowhere, makes a lot of
sense if you back and look
at everything. It seemed
obvious there was at least
some connection there. Now
what was really surprising
was this apparent new
attitude of hers. I'm still
a bit skeptical, but we'll
have to wait and see where
it takes her. And that
brings us to our first match
where as I expected, the
Bread Buddies were
victorious over JR and
Gidget. All I'll say on that
one is that at least Joe
Dick has some wins to go
with his sense of
entitlement. Honestly, what
makes JR so much more
special than every other
cocky prick to walk into
this place thinking he's
god's gift? If these matches
he's put in are such a waste
of his talent, and he's
above them then maybe he
should show it by dominating
this supposed lesser
opposition.
She stops, taking a sip from
her bottle of water sat on
the end table.
Mieke: Then we had Lexi vs.
Stivers, and Lexi looked
impressive as usual getting
a submission victory. I'm
not sure where she goes from
here, but I'd rather talk
about Stivers right now. It
seemed this match could be a
turning point for him and
he's starting to get that he
needs to make changes.
Here's hoping that happens
and we end up seeing a new,
improved Damien Stivers.
Before our next match, Joe
Dick decided to superkick
Persephone Waters over a
donut. Yes seriously, I
think it speaks for itself
really. Anyhow, that led to
my encounter with him that
set up the interview you
heard moments ago. After
that, Alex Shade beat Steve
Evans and I think Alex
rattled Steve a bit heading
into the match. They seemed
to be going the same route,
and then after Alex told
Steve to show him he wanted
it as much as he did it
seemed Steve kind of strayed
from the course a bit at the
end of the verbal exchange.
It was a hell of a match
though, so they can both be
proud of that.
She takes another sip of
water.
Mieke: The Xtreme Title was
on the line after that, and
before I get into the match
I have to say that Seth
Blitzer's entrance was
absolutely pathetic. There's
ego and then there's what we
saw there, taking it to a
whole new level. But
luckily, I'm happy to say I
was wrong about the outcome
of that match as we did
indeed crown a new Champion.
Hopefully Julio manages to
do some good things with the
belt heading into Bloodsport,
and this will only be the
start of great things for
him. He should really be
proud of himself. And
someone who will be proud of
herself surely is Michelle
Kramer, as I'm sure she
takes full credit for
Calypso beating Simon Kayne
in that Last Man Standing
match. I didn't like the
approach Simon was taking
heading into the match, the
level of hatred he was
portraying seemed forced to
me as an outside observer
and I think he might have
paid for it. Riz had better
watch out, as it seems
Calypso is more focused and
dangerous than before right
now. But on a more pleasant
note we had our main event
for the Tag Team
Championships. And it was
really touching to see the
dedication of both teams,
and what this company means
to them. Dirk and Billy
retained the titles and
should continue to be great
Champions for the division,
but what was really
important was seeing them
and the Coles focus on what
was truly important and then
go out to put on a great
show. Hopefully some people
end up learning a thing or
two from them. But now, it's
time to take a look ahead to
this week's Edge.
The Friday night Edge logo
flashes across the screen,
then a graphic for Cody vs.
Mideon.
Mieke: Opening up we have
the debuting Mideon taking
on Cody. Now, I know Cody
has had success against a
midget wrestler in the past
but I'm still going to have
to give the nod to Mideon
here. For one I think Cody's
actually gotten worse since
then, and secondly I don't
know what exactly Mideon
brings to the table. And
with that in mind, it's only
fair to at least give him
the benefit of the doubt
that it's more than Cody
does.
A graphic follows for Steve
Evans vs. Thomas Carmichael
vs. Dominic McManus
Mieke: This triple threat is
going to be an interesting
one, and one where all three
really could use the win
here. Evans to bounce back,
Carmichael to keep building
momentum on his new path and
McManus to just get a win.
I'm going to have to give my
nod to the veteran Evans
though. These triple threat
environments are
unpredictable and I think
his experience will be key
in helping him use some
veteran tricks to pick up
the win here.
Next is a graphic for
Stephanie Frost vs. Renee
Parfell
Mieke: Renee Parfell here
obviously comes from a
wrestling family, but she's
got her work cut out against
Stephanie Frost. While this
is a big chance for Renee to
make a splash right off the
bat in her debut, I have to
give the nod to Stephanie
here. She is the Anarchy
Champion for a reason after
all, and particularly
vicious.
Following a graphic for
Ventor vs. Lance King ins
shown
Mieke: I'm going to be blunt
here, I think Lance King is
a one trick pony who got
figured out against
Stephanie Frost. And I also
believe given his history
before making it to the SWA
he'll be too stubborn to
change his ways and step up
to make the changes he needs
in order to be successful
here. Unless Ventor
completely doesn't get what
Lance is about or
underestimates him, I see
him taking it.
Finally a graphic is shown
for our Thomas Von Karstein
vs. Joe Dick main event
Mieke: And in our main
event, I think Joe Dick has
the win here. Thomas will be
motivated for sure with the
history building up to this
match, but Joe loves his
opponents to be pissed off
and motivated. Plus, he's on
a roll that I don't see
Thomas being the one to slow
down. That's this week's
Edge card, now to finish us
off with your e-mail
questions.
She grabs a piece of paper
from the end table.
Mieke: This first question
comes from ... once again
our friend Nathan in
Bellingham. He wants to know
who the biggest tool in the
SWA is. And on that one, I'd
have to go with Seth Blitzer
easily. He's about as
despicable a human being as
you can get, treats people
like garbage, is only in
this for the money, has
incredibly tacky taste, only
stays in the spotlight by
leeching onto people and
cheap attacks, and he has no
morals whatsoever. I don't
see how it could be anyone
but him.
Pausing she takes a look
back at the paper.
Mieke: And our other
question for this week comes
from Zir in Blackburn,
England. What a lovely name
I have to say. He wants to
know if Legion is his own
stable. I'm not sure how I'm
supposed to answer that, we
barely know anything about
the guy yet besides that he
has a bunch of followers.
You know, this style of
question seems familiar. I'm
thinking this is Oliver from
Switzerland again under a
different name. Oh well,
either way that's all the
time we have for this week.
See you next time on the
Wristlock.
"Comatose" begins to play
again as the scene slowly
pans out before we fade to
the SWA logo and then to
black. |
