The AngusBlog Version 2.0 [01.18.10]

Jesus freebasin’ Christ.
That’s what I’ve got to say about the last couple of weeks.
First thing’s first, though, I want to address that useless blimp of a man Dan Pollaski. This fat fuck falls off the face of the earth four years ago, probably worked at an Arby’s somewhere, and now just because he’s still got a few Whirleybirdz t-shirts to hock he’s got the “official” blog of the Alliance?
You see, it’s ignorant shit like this why Defiance was formed in the first place, and why a war has been declared. Instead of coming to me to do an official column, that retired lump Chance Sr. gets a guy who’s claim to fame was not fucking Wendy Briese.
All because he kisses the Alliances ass.
Well let me tell you this, fat man, you’re a real big man, running your mouth from behind your cellphone. You got something to say about Defiance, why don’t you bring your bubble-but to my studio and get it off your chest.
I’m sure I can get a couch moved in that’s big enough for you to sit on without crushing it.
In other news, HOW’s champion, Aceldama, made it his business to call out Eric Dane personally last week on their Turmoil television show. I was in the office, helping Eric with some post-editing for the Defiance show, when Turmoil came on. So, we stopped, decided we’d take a look at what they had to offer since we’d already promised them some talent for their little D1 Champions Carnival tournament ripoff. The show wasn’t on for five minutes before this guy started running his mouth.
I can say in all honesty that Eric actually “lol’d” during that promo.
Predictably, Eric shot down the match that Ace wanted. However, it turns out that Frank Dylan James, our newest interviewer and resident wild hillbilly, has accepted the challenge on Dane’s behalf.
Now, the paperwork hasn’t been finalized yet, but unless something drastic happens in the next couple of days this match is going to happen. Frankly (ha, get it, “Frankly”), I’d say Ace would have been better off wrestling Dane. At least he has an off-switch. Sort of.
Frank is just balls out crazy.
We’ll see what those pricks are made of. In the meanwhile, I’m officially picking Cobra to win the Lee Best Invitational. If he doesn’t, I’m calling for a riot.
And then there’s the eGG Bandits.
You know, I’ve seen some outlandish, stupid things go on in the wrestling business. But egging a guy’s car? Seriously? What are they, twelve? Well, we already knew Adrien was like fifteen, but these guys...
I can’t even wrap my brain around it.
I mean, they do understand that they’re going to have to answer for that, right? And we’re not exactly in the business of playing practical jokes on people that cross us. Somebody’s going to get hurt, and badly, all because these kids thought they’d get their faces on TV by egging a car.
Tsk, tsk.
Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
So, now that I’ve (again) said enough about all of the idiots around the Alliance, I’d like to concentrate on Defiance Television. Last week’s show was all around great, if you forget about the Bandits. The Champions Carnival is getting to the nitty-gritty, feuds are heating up, partnerships are forming, it’s almost like we’re running a wrestling company!
(ZING~!)
Episode 4 is shaping up to be even better, as we bring you the best that Defiance has to offer from the Big Easy. And right now, I’d like to take a few minutes and break down all of the matches and give my thoughts on a few things.
Solaine/Box/Dean/Fujita vs Fiasco/Hart/Langston/Skull
Talk about a hell of a way to start off a show! First, I want to say that as a wrestling fan it’s a dream to see Fujita work in person. I’ve been collecting tapes since I was a teenager, and I’ve seen my fair share of his matches in Japan, but for him to be inside of a Defiance ring, it’s just surreal. That said, the heel team is going to have to work their asses to the bone to even have a hope in this one! Solaine’s finally gotten on the winning track, Box is riding high, even BBD looked good last week! And Fooj, let’s just say I don’t see J.D. Hart or Xavier Langston being able to hold a candle up to his burning spirit.
Throw in Justin Brooks as a special guest referee, and you’ve got all sorts of possibilities. This match has some serious connotations, as all contenders are being reviewed for future title matches and opportunities. I can say this, whoever shines in this match is going to shine in Defiance, and that’s a promise.
Greer vs Kongo
You know, I don’t have any excuses for Greer. He’s been a friend of mine for years, and I’ve been accused of being a shameless Team Danger mark at times, but if he doesn’t get his shit together D.R. Kongo is going to kick his fucking teeth down his fucking throat. Kongo needs this one to stay near the top of the Block A points table, and Greer needs it so he can be taken seriously as something other than an attack dog again. I’m not saying that Greer’s not totally capable of stretching Kongo and knocking him cold out, I’m just saying it depends on which Greer shows up for the match.
And if Kelly Evans, Johnny Lightning, or Cobra have anything to say about the issue.
Drago vs Kort
This is another important match in the A Block. Kort has been impressing anyone who’s been watching as he’s rededicated himself to not only knocking heads in the ring, but making Justin Brooks get his coffee too! If Kort gets hot, or finds some way to cheat or get Brooks involved, he could very well walk away with the points in this one. However, you can expect Murray Monroe to be on hand to keep the shenanigans to a minimum, and straight up in the ring, Kort is a dead man when Drago gets his hands on him...
Southern Hospitality vs The Foreshadowing
Okay. Now, Malik and Junior have definitely put on their game faces. The question is, aside from the best promo this side of The Incomparable Hero, what exactly do Tom Sawyer and Lucas Harper bring to the table? I know one thing, if they wrestle anything like they talk, Sawyer’ll probably submit to the ringsteps.
This is a serious one though, with Tag Team Titles on the horizon nothing less than a win here will be acceptable for either team. We’ll have to wait and see who wants it more, though.
Booth vs Vasquez
This is my sleeper for match of the night. Booth hung with Cobra last week and he’s been consistently putting on entertaining promos and matches since the inception of Defiance. However, Chico Vasquez is an animal, and he’s not in a very good mood. It’s make or break time for both me, though, as this is a crucial two points at a crucial time in the Champions Carnival.
I will say that this is either going to be the most entertaining match on the card, or the bloodiest. We’ll have to see how it unfolds on Friday night.
Cobra vs Lightning
You know, on paper this is a great matchup. But then, if you factor in the fact that Lightning has just been thrust into the position of one-half of the World Tag Team Champions with Steve Greer, and the fact that Cobra just had an LBI match, and has a World Title match with Jack Amethyst just two days later, this match could be make or break for either guy.
And then, factor in that Greer and Lightning have apparently aligned with Cobra, and who the hell knows what’s going to happen. Could we see the end of this faction before it even gets started? Who knows, the one thing I do know is that these guys can both go, and they both know what’s on the line in this one!
Now, let’s take a look at the Points Table:
Block A:
1. Bronson Box [4]
2. D.R. Kongo [3]
2. Joe Drago [3]
4. Jimmy Kort [2]
5. Stephen Greer [0]
Block B:
1. Aaron Vasquez [4]
2. Cobra [3]
3. Josias Solaine [2]
3. Leon Booth [2]
5. Johnny Lightning [1]
Remember, the top two scorers in each block will go on to the Sudden Death tournament finals. So with that in mind, it’s still anybody’s game. Anybody can get hot or cold at any time, so these next two rounds are sure to be full to the brim with guys looking to make their mark not only on Defiance, but on the Alliance as a whole.
Like I said before, Episode 4 is going to be stacked.
As far as the rest of the Alliance goes, well, we’ll see if anyone’s got the balls to show up in some capacity that doesn’t involve eggs. I can already tell you what’s going to happen if those idiot eGG Bandits show up again, but what about the rest of the Alliance?
I doubt anybody’s got the sack to step up to Defiance.
I guess we’ll have to wait and see...

First thing’s first, let me address Mark Zylbert:
Fuck Mark Zylbert.
Now that I’ve got that out of my system, let me elaborate. Zylbert likes to take pot-shots at other promotions, places like Hostility that’s on it’s deathbed, or Uncensored that’s embroiled in it’s own controversies just brought about by their name and style.
And he talks about places like HOW, shitting on them in one breath and then praising them in the next. It’s like he wants people to think he’s got balls, but in the end he doesn’t want to lose his precious contacts and affiliates.
(For more on my own thoughts about HOW, please continue reading.)
Then he fucks around as let’s the word “defiance” fall out of his mouth.
Maybe Mr. Zylbert has forgotten who facilitated Dream’s inclusion into the Alliance. Maybe he’s also forgotten who let him into Florida in the first place. Let me make it perfectly clear, if and when Eric Dane files a discrepancy on territorial incursion, Dream will pull up their skirts and go on back to wherever they used to run their shitty shows at.
If he thinks that just because the rights to a promotion that used to be respected and kept the doors from falling off for half a year he should be given some kind of award then he’s in for some disappointments in the very near future.
Besides, as far as Defiance is concerned, DWF isn’t even the best thing going in the state of Florida, let alone the Alliance. So of those corporate wannabe’s want to stick their nose in Defiance business, fine, so be it, but when it turns out that the eGG Bandits and… wait, do they even have anybody else?
Adrien Cochrane maybe?
Okay, so, Doozer, Jiles, and Adrien are going to save the Alliance?
You know what, never mind. I shouldn’t even have to comment on how little a chance that revolving door of a shit-factory has in a fight against Eric Dane and Defiance. And I mean that physically, politically, and monetarily.
This is the final warning, keep your nose clean and fall in line, it wouldn’t be wise for anyone to unnecessarily raise the ire of a man like Eric Dane.
Trust me.
There is only one Savior of the WfWA, and that man is not Mark Zylbert.
Now, moving right along, that man isn’t Mike Best, either. And, as it turns out, he’s one of those cock-hounds. So, HOW’s big ploy is that one brother takes it in the ass in prison, and the other takes it in the ass on purpose?
I don’t get it.
Defiance stomped their asses in the ratings at HOTv, Defiance is going to stomp their asses in their own tournament, and if anyone gets lippy about it, like that idiot Aceldema, then somebody from Defiance will gladly come on up to Chicago and stomp their ass too.
As for Wrestling Mid-West, those guys run a hell of a promotion up there, they’ve got some future stars in the ring and they’ve got the good sense to do their thing and sit back and wait on this little “War” to be over. WMW are to be praised for understanding their role in the new WfWA and accepting their spot in the hierarchy from here on out.
The same goes for Uncensored. I can tell you for a fact that Eric Dane has met with Spyder Gainey on at least one occasion and has nothing but good things to say about him and his promotion. It’s ties like these that will hold the Alliance together in the new year, while blowhards and cum-guzzlers try to razzle-dazzle you with their bankroll.
Well fuck that, and fuck them.
I’ve said it before, but allow me to reiterate:
Our Dicks > their dicks
End of story.
Now, moving along to something that people may actually have some modicum of interest in, the race to the Defiance Heavyweight Crown heated up on Episode 02 of Defiance TV as Aaron Vasquez and D.R. Kongo took leads in their individual blocks, and Bronson Box, Cobra, and Johnny Lightning made statements with their wins as well. The D1 Champions Carnival is shaping up to be the hottest thing going in the Alliance as 2010 gets up and going in January and February!
Here’s the points table after Round 2:
Block A:
1. D.R. Kongo [3]
2. Jimmy Kort [2]
2. Bronson Box [2]
4. Joe Drago [1]
5. Stephen Greer [0]
Block B:
1. Aaron Vasquez [4]
2. Cobra [2]
3. Johnny Lightning [1]
3. Leon Booth [1]
5. Josias Solaine [0]
It’s still wide open, and any of these ten men could take home the trophy and the title! There are a lot of points left on the table to be earned, but If things keep going the way they’ve been going we could see a very interesting Final Four Sudden Death after all five rounds of the League portion of the tournament are in the books!
Speculation has been tossed about recently about a secondary singles title as well as the planned Tag Team Titles that I spoke on last week. I can say for sure that we will be implementing another belt in the near future as our roster expands and we develop the need and the means to support one. I know that Eric wants to run this thing with a very oldschool vibe, and part of that vibe is a title belt for those guys on their way up the ladder toward bigger and better things!
So, don’t be surprised when you hear the announcements!
That’s all the time that I’ve got for you today, we’re gearing up for the first show of the New Year and Eric’s got me running all over the South trying to secure the venues as we build toward our first big event in late February or early March.
Keep it locked here and on the Defiance website for more news and notes as they happen folks, from everyone here in the office have a Defiant New Year!
