Question for the Sniper:
We are a week out from your fight on Sunday. How about you run us through your preparation for the past couple weeks and what you will be doing over the next few days.
Yep, serious question for a change, maybe good info for some of the younger guys coming through.

in that case Stacky, maybe I should have addressed it to JWP rather than the Snipper! hehe (sorry bro)

[sniper]

oh this does not include the mental preparation i have which is a personal thing. nor the nutritional requirements i have to fulfill to get me maximal energy and at fight weight. these things are other matters but this is a basic run down of this final week for me physically.

[jabout]

Hi Sniper. Hows it going at bulldog? good luck for sunday. i will be there i've got 2 boys on. or i will see you at the weigh-in.

[sniper]

yeah bro i look forward to it. absolutely loving it at bulldog gym. find it perfect for my needs and expectations. im sure the difference will be seen in the next few fights i have. cant expect too much too soon but will certainly give it my all anyway.
hopefully there will be loads of people out sharing a few quiet beverages after as well hehe!

[MadMatt]

Sniper,

Thanks for sharing your routine, it sounds as though you have a good formula working for you, there's never any substitute for hard work.

Smash em on Sunday mate!!

"Let's get it on!!!"

[sniper]

you are right madmatt. this has been made none more apparent since changing gyms 5 weeks ago. earlier it was easy to look for easier ways to go about things but it is very apparent in the ring. hard work is what it is all about as you accurately insinuate.

[Voice]

Snip,
why did you delete your training regime post. Top secret stuff huh??

-----------------------------
A man's gotta know his limitations...

[babyface]

A man's gotta know his limitations...

[babyface]

hehe il do that :P

[sniper]

hehe i would take my opponent out of the ring on sunday and throw you in it if you did that big fella hehe. maybe not actually you know a fair bit more about grappling than i do hehe!

i took it off purely as respect for the gym. of course it did not share any insight to what is involved in the lead up training to a fight and is purely what i and i only do with a week to go but still i am a bulldog now and think they deserve the courtesy and repect of not having any genaralisations made about the gym as a whole.

nothing personal of course!!!

[Voice]

think you're too good for the rest of us mate, don't ya!<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_clown.gif border=0 align=middle>

If you all want to see the Snipper airbourne and throwing knees like Leaping Lenny Poffo (WWF), come along Sunday night. His inaugural knee fight should be a good one, we will see what the Bulldog boys have taught him.

[shaunw]

voice pretty sure sniper fought mod thai against blizzard in qld. blizzard wanted full but snip didnt from memory(which i can understand) he gave away a few kgs to ya but same result as on amirs show in nsw. i think his only chance was with full thai rules and to try to cut ya. wit the extra weight you were to strong

Max Power, he's the man who's name you'd love to touch. But you mustn't touch! His name sounds good in your ear, but when you say it you mustn't fear! Cause his name can be said by anyone

[Voice]

Snip is going to be coming in at 77kgs, which i reckon is a bit light for him but unlike previously he has been sitting around 78-79 during training so not a problem. I think his newfound training regime has helped reduce the effects of his staple diet of KFC and Krispy Kremes.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

He certainly is fired up for this fight, no excuses.

Leaping Lenny Poffo? Oh my God, I didn't think anyone remembered the brother of Randy Macho Man Savage any more except for me (yes, Randy Savage's real name was Randy Poffo... yeah, I'd change it too!)... and if Snip is gonna throw em like Lenny Poffo, then I can't wait! I'll do my best Gorilla Monsoon calls ringside!

[Voice]

Shiv,
were you at the EntCent back around 1990 when greats like LLP, George the animal Steele, Ricky the dragon Steamboat, Junkyard Dog and Paul 'Mr Wonderful' Orndorf graced the shores of Sydney?

If you really want to go back to old times, I spent a childhood of Saturday mornings watching the likes of Killer Carl Cox, King Curtis, Ron Miller, Larry O'dey, Pat Barret (remember the Shahaley Twist, where he 'dislocates' the knee, then nicely puts it back after his victory) and Adbul the Butcher.
Ah, thems was the days...

[John Cav]

Michael,
I would prefer you did a "Jack Little" from ringside rather than Gorilla Monsoon!

Still kicking strong at 44!

[sniper]

shiv,
are you guys coming up for the show on sunday? thought it might be just a case of editing and commentating after the show.

[admin]

Hey Snip

YES we will be there live on Sunday night!

Oh guys, dont get me started on wrestling... Voice I interviewed JYD (Junkyard Dog) when I was a 16 year old... I'll never forget him, me and the legendary Mario Milano in his hotel room at the Hilton... JYD was a legend, may he rest in peace.

My FAVOURITE wrestler was The Ravishing One, Rick Rude and his finishing move 'The Rude Awakening'... when he defeated The Ultimate Warrior for the Intercontinental Belt with the aid of the Weasel Bobby The Brain Heenan (who held Warrior's foot while Rude scored the pin) it was awesome!

I grew up watching wrestling too Voice, but I'm only 30, so my start was in 1985 with WrestleMania I (Hogan and Mr T with enforcer Jimmy Snuka vs Roddy Piper and Mr Wonderful Paul Orndorff with enforcer Cowboy Bob Orton was the main event).

Man, even now I love to go to the video library and hire out all the old Wrestlemania's, Survivor Series, Royal Rumbles, etc... and I still reckon Andre pinned Hogan some 30 seconds into their bout a WrestleMania 3!

Anyway... hey John Cav... my nonno loved Jack Little... but before my time, I grew up idolising the commentary of Gorilla Monsoon and Jesse The Body Ventura, and then Vince MacMahon who I reckon was a great commentator.

Oh... the memories...

My ALL TIME 10 FAVOURITE WRESTLING FINISHES

10. The Million Dollar Dream -- Ted "Million Dollar Man" Dibiase
9. Shake, Rattle and Roll -- Honky Tonk Man
8. The Scorpion Deathlock -- Sting (also Bret Hart)
7. The Splash -- King Kong Bundy
6. The Jackhammer -- Goldberg
5. The Camel Clutch -- The Iron Shiek
4. Goodnight Irene -- Adorable Adrian Adonis
3. The Tombstone Piledriver -- The Undertaker
2. The DDT -- Jake The Snake Roberts
1. The Rude Awakening -- Rick Rude

[sniper]

oh you guys are such kids hehe!
i too was idolising the british bulldogs, the blue blazer (just cos of his back flip finish), the heart foundation, the ultimate warrior and the rockers hehe!
its just not the same now tho that i have seen events like k1.

see you on sunday big mike!!!

[admin]

Fark Snip...

The Brtish Bulldogs with their mascot, Matilda... Davey Boy Smith and the Dynamite Kid... RIP Dynamite Kid.

The Blue Blazer was, of course, Owen Hart... another RIP.

The Rockers... Shawn Michaels (still going!) and Marty Janetti. Great get-ups in their black and fluoro!

The `Killer Bees were Bee Brian Blair and Jumping Jim Brunzell (I think, cant remember)

Also, who can forget the tag team of Nikolai Volkoff and the Iron Shiek; or Tito Santana and Rick Martel (The Pan Am Connection); or the BEST tag team of all, Axe and Smash, DEMOLITION!

And the Hart Foundation: Brett "Hitman" Hart, Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart and "The Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart with his megaphone.

As for favourite managers:

1. Mr Fuji (the Fiendish One)
2. Bobby The Brain Heenan (The Weasel)
3. Jimmy Hart (The Mouth of the South)
4. Slick (Master of Style)
5. Miss Elizabeth (yum!!)
6. Jim Cornett
7. Virgil (well, he was more DiBiase's bodyguard)
8. Classy Freddy Blasse

Favourite quote: Bobby Heenna before Wrestlemania II and Hogan vs Bundy cage match: "Forget Hulkamania, Hulkamania will die, it'll be dead, and there will be Bundy-mania everywhere."

Yeah, not the same any more :( John Cena and Battista just don't stack up to Andre The Giant and The Big Boss Man.

[Voice]

Shiv,
it'll never be the same...those 90s legends were what it was all about. The Hillbillys, Mr Wonderful with the original piledriver and of course my all time fav, King Kong Bundy, unbeatable with the Splash!

The Rock was great, and he did a great episode of Star Trek- Voyager, and his own Conan-type movie but those earlier guys had a certain originality just likt Stan the Man does with kickboxing!

and btw, Miss Elizabeth, no more! RIP

Edited by - Voice on 18 Aug 2005 23:41:42

[admin]

Wow, yeah, I forgot that Miss Elizabeth died... :(... who didn't love her when growing up. Man, when her and Macho Man reconciled in centre ring, after Macho Man ditched that God-awful Queen-something and then Macho's music "Land of Pomp and Glory" struck up (I think it was at Summerslam) that was just awesome.

King Kong Bundy -- what a legend... rumour had it when I was in Year 8 that Bundy had died of a heart attack, but no, Bundy is STILL going I believe, not wrestling though. Remember in Wrestlemania 3 when Bundy splashed midget Little Beaver?? Not even HillBilly Jim could save that little monkey. Go Bundy-mania!

You know, watching the freaks in WWF was awesome when you had:
Andre The Giant - around 460lb and 7ft
Yokozuna - around 500lb
The Giant Gonzalez - he was around 420lb and 8ft tall, he was a real freak of nature, appeared in an episode of Baywatch, he was in Wrestlemania 10 (the one at Caesars Palace, or was that 9)
The Bezerker
Bundy (small by comparison to the later freaks)
Mabel (still wrestling in WWE)
Big John Stud -- RIP

These were just big blokes who could move incredibly for their size.

You know Voice, me and my mates were talking about the old wrestling days and how when we were in Grade 5 (1985) we were all terrified of Bundy...afterall, he pinned Special Delivery Jones in a world record 9 seconds at the inaugural Wrestlemania... the way they marketed him, and the way he looked in that black lycra bathing suit thing, with the pale bald head and deep-set dark eyes, we used to have "Bundy fear" whenever he fought... we remember feeling genuine distress and fear when Hogan stepped in the cage with Bundy at WrestleMania 2.

Oh, do you remember when Bundy appeared in an episode of Married with Children??? Here's a bit of trivia... what was Al and Peg's sirname in that show? - Al and Peg BUNDY - they were named after King Kong Bundy, as the show's creators were big wrestling fans. There are a few little wrestling references like that in the show.

man i loved watching wrestling in my childhood. i remember sneaking out of bed late at night just to watch it.

why do you think i've chosen the handle "berzerker"

old school wrestling rocks!

ricky "the dragon" steamboat was my favourite

who was everyone's favourite baddie?
for me it was definitely king kong bundy...that dude was just mean

[admin]

Great handle... The Bezerker was a scary Mofo dressed up in those brown boots and brown hides!

King Kong Bundy was by far the SCARIEST bad guy ever for me! I mean, I just s.h.i.t. myself whenever he fought.

Other great baddies:

* Sargeant Slaughter at WrestleMania 7 when he fought Hogan
* Psycho Sid Vicious WrestleMania 8 when he fought Hogan
* Yokozuna was a scary bad guy
* Ted DiBiase at WrestleMania 4
* The Big Boss Man was scary with his nightstick and he was a brutal SOB
* Andre The Giant at WrestleMania 3
* When Randy Savage was bad he was cool... circa WrestleMania 5
* Rick "The Model" Martel was better when he turned bad
* The Barbarian (he tag teamed with the Bezerker)
* Akeem the African Dream (formerly The One Man Gang)
* Diesel (aka Kevin Nash)
* Hercules Hernandez



Yeah, Ricky Steambout vs Macho Man at WrestleMania 3 I think it was, that epic match for the Intercontinental Title is still one of the all-time great matches.

Oh man, the memories.

rowdy roddy piper
jake the snake roberts
brutus beefcake who later became a goodie when he turned into the barber
what was the name of that big african wrestler who use to come out in his tradionaly gear with the white paint on his face...he was pretty scary for a kid?

ahh the good old days

[admin]

Oh yeah, that big African freak, he was scary man!

Who was Jimmy Valentine? You don't mean Greg "The Hammer" Valentine do you Bezerker?

Jake the Snake Roberts was good, then bad, then good, then bad, then terrible alcoholic! Have you seen Beyond The Mat? Alcoholism did Jake in terribly :(

Brutus Beefcake... wow... "The Barber"... when he and Rowdy Roddy Piper cut the hair of Adorable Adrian Adonis at Wrestlemania 3, I was gutted... remember the look on Adorable Adrian's face when he looked in the mirror? Unforgettable.

We need to find the name of that African dude. Was it Papa Shamba or something like that?

Yes you're right Bezerker, first time I saw the FF leg lock was Greg The Hammer Valentine. He was a great fighter, no nonsense. He was managed at one stage by Jimmy Hart.

how could you ever compete against ed o'neill seriously...i'd be pissing myself laughing at the sight of him cause he's al bundy character is legendary...nearly as good as homer simpson.

[supermario]

If they ever do a live action Simpsons movie, he's gotta be played by Ed O'Neill. Hey Michael, did you see Kamala wrestle Randy Orton on Smackdown a couple of weeks ago?? He's hilarious, I pissed myself laughing when he kept slapping his belly. What a freak.

[admin]

Nope SuperMuz, I don't watch much wrestling any more, only the old stuff... it lost its appeal for me when Goldberg disappeared... but Kamala is STILL wrestling? Reckon it's the SAME Kamala as the old days?? Fark, he must be like 50!

Man, one day I'll tell you about the night I spent with Sam Greco, Mario "One Man Gang" Phlorides, Tarik Solak and Bill Goldberg on the town in Melbourne... let's just say there's nothing like drive-thru KFC in the back of a limousine and that getting a lapdance in the private room at Bar 20 by American cheerleaders while Goldberg is sitting next to you is an experience not to be forgotten!

Damn!!! Must've been a great night, out with three tanks like those guys and Tarik... Recipe for mischief, hehe. Yeah, it was a one off match Kamala had against Orton, and he is about 50, to build up Orton's feud vs 'Taker at Summerslam. Tell you the truth, it's not the same, but I still like watching Chris Benoit wrestle, he's a machine, as well as the mexicans, Eddie Guerrero, Rey Mysterio and The Juice! Juventud Guerrera. Remember when he got arrested here in Brisbane when WCW came in 2000, he was naked in a hotel lobby high on ecstacy or some drug! Love Goldberg, at least he went out on a high and pinned Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania 20. I've got the last 5 Wrestlemanias on tape, should really start collecting the DVDs though, there's some good stuff in them. Fear the spear!!!

Just finished watching Summerslam with the kiddies- best match by far Eddie Guerrero Vs Rey Mysterio ladder match well worth the 30 bucks. Closely followed by the Matt Hardy Vs Edge (match for taking my missus from me) very full on.
Miss watching my all time favourite Mick Foley, what he put himself through- some may try but dont come close to equaling it.

King Kong Bundy is still wrestling--
"The Master of the 5 Count" KING KONG BUNDY is now set to make his IWC debut on November 20. Bundy is famous and infamous for a variety of reasons throughout his career. Spending most of his career north of the 400 lb. mark, Bundy has been known as one of the most agile big men in history.
http://www.iwcwrestling.com/index2.html
Alot of ex WWF/WWE wrestlers get into this "cartel" for limited contracts and shows.
Coming our way soon I beleive.

[supermario]

Beast 616, were some of the shots thrown in the Matt Hardy - Edge bout legit?? Some of the right hands looked stiff, as well as the kick that ended it... btw, love your username, and did you know Kelsey Grammer is playing you in X3 next year :)

[Beast 616]

Didnt realize that Beast is making an appearance in X3 wonder if Kelsey will need make up<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>. Wasnt even thinking that when I used that as a username.
Matt Hardy V Edge match alot of non legit stuff used plenty of hard straight fore arm clubs but the match was expected to be full on due to their past personal issues. Both seemed to be pretty much wanting to bash the living crappola out of each other rather than doing to many of the crowd pleasing/entertaining stuff. My kids loved it!! Only let down was Matt lost but is fast becoming the boys favourite now.

Michael, a friend taped it and I watched it this morning. HBK carried Hogan the whole match and kicked out of the super kick before hulking up and giving HBK the big boot and leg drop for the pin fall win. What a crock. Nice blade job by Hogan though. Batista power bombed JBL, went for the pin, changed his mind and picked JBL up and power bombed him again, this time on the steel steps, for the pin fall win. It was in Washington, Batista's home town, so he got a big pop. It was alright, but I'm glad I didn't buy it.

[admin]

Thanks SuperMuz

Honestly, you'd think after 20 years they'd give Hogan a new finisher than the BIG BOOT and the LEG DROP... I was over the whole "Hulking Up" thing years ago.

Also, the big boot to the face has now become the big boot to the chest. He can't get his damn leg up anymore, he looks like he's gonna stack it every time he goes for it, but HBK sold it excellently. At next year's Wrestlemania, it'll be the big boot to the nuts, and apparently there's rumours of a Hogan-Stonecold feud for that event... Could be interesting, wonder who the crowd would go for in that instance, they turned on The Rock when he feuded with Hogan, so who knows.

[Beast 616]

Yeah Hogan is too old for the ring but what the crowd wants they appear to get over there. Hogan should knock it back but if you watch "The Hogans" reality show I think he might be doing it for his daughters "music career" (hahaha) and money in the bank is exactly that and then again who doesnt want to hear the roar of a crowd chanting your name even if your past it.

Looks like the Nature Boy is back again appears Carlito and him are going to get it on in the near future for the intercontiental belt..

As for Batista dont find him to entertaining may be big but not good for much in the ring. zzzzzz
More interesting was Y2J losing his match with John Cena and getting fired, finishing with him begging for his job and Kurt Angle coming out to be the new No1 contender had enough of Cena as well may be popular but cant act for shiza..

[Voice]

Beast/Shiv, you might know this...
Hogan was arguably the biggest thing ever in wrestling (as a wrestler that is)...is the guy mega rich from it all? Or was it really a case of the big $$$ flowing to Vince McMahon?

-----------------------------
A man's gotta know his limitations...

[admin]

Good question Voice... one would think that Hogan would have to be loaded, given the enormous money in pro wrestling, royalties, his TV and movie appearances, merchandising, etc... but then again, he would spent a lot on singlets and fake tans!

Voice-- Dont think Hogan worries about the bucks to much. Wanna see the Ranch of his in the reality show (how many 14yr olds have a brand new supra to cruise around in?).
Have to agree with Shiv about royalties ect seeing so much red and yellow in the crowds at the latest wrestling shows the Hulk is back by the look of it. Cash in why he still can he cant keep going forever.

Hehe, I used to love watching George the animal. Almost as much as the missing link. Some of those head-butts of the top ropes he used to do looked friggen scarry.

for a bald guy, George had more hair on his back than a Persian rug.

Ah, don't the chicks really dig that look!!
