Just so.They're having this big-ass supershow this summer with Kevin Von Erich, Marty Jannetty, a bunch of American indie guys and some IPWA\IWL folks (will get to that in a sec), called Rage: Make Von Erich Great Again. I'm still pondering on whoever came up with a name that in the same time makes no sense and makes the main star of the show look like a tool, though i have my suspisions. It is probably a creation of that same brilliant mind that gave us half a dozen "Season or Jewish Holiday + Random Wrestling Move or Word That Sounds Cool" concepts.
Regardless, Von Erich itself is in Israel to promote the show i figure,since it is only supposed to take place in Summer, and the IWL guys have already kidnapped the poor bastard and had him pose for pics in their arena and wearing the IWL shirt, despite the fact that this whole thing is not being promoted by them and their only contribution is sending the Leopards (like naturally) and the Candy Crushers to compete there. But Von Erich is IWL, yay! They pulled the same trick with Masters and Carlito a few years back,but then it was even more ridiculous, since back then there was no IWL to speak of.
Another thing, lo and behold, no AWO guys on the card. No Chris, who (in his own mind, it seems now) is buddy-bud-bud with Gery, no Smiley (nobody wants the poor bastard, but that is the whole other story), no Adam, who was originally trained by the IPWA and who is one of the best workers in the AWO, the other being Hellboy. There is Shachar, but he'll work for anyone, and Doron, but i'm not even counting him. Now that the old ass is back on the market he's back to kissing it, and the AWO must absolutely be boycotted once more. And naturally Doron never had anything to do with them and hated them all along.
While im on it, the AWO. Chris is back (like duh), The Volk is gone, but there is a new breed of kids there who were probably told investing in tights, kickpads and boots gives you herpes, so they all work in Ts, shorts and sweatpants. Save for one kid named Rio Wild, who actually gone and got himself a proper ring gear. Hellboy pulls double duty on every show and all this in front of packed crowd of 20.
Not crying sour grapes here, since i can not really go in the ring anymore and don't want to, but rather musing over all the retardness, hypocrisy and backstabbing going on on the local scene.
