"Behind the GMz Screen (Interlude)" [/size][/color] "You don't know who your friends are ... until you're not like them anymore." — Jack Womack ("Random Acts of Senseless Violence") To lead apes in hell. So deep in the streets it's embedded in the concrete. Madness, insanity, live in profanity - then some punk claiming they understanding me??? You know that feeling, everybody does no matter how removed from the core product they may be. It's called gut instinct. Nature's course. Instinct, reaction and destiny. It's humanity reduced to its base animalistic element. Far beyond the crumbling, mortal walls we've constructed to distance ourselves further from this truth - and move us closer to this utopian idea of "civilization" or a "society". Right where it all started, the most basic element of mortal life. The rules of the jungle, Darwinian laws of extinction. Survival of the fittest. When all the laws, rules and regulations of the civilized modern Western world are stripped away, we're all reduced to our basest element. Savages. MSD's Eternal Wrestling Truths #8: WRESTLING is a ZOO [/color][/size] "I been in this game for years, it made me an animal" (Notorious B.I.G.) The rap game is the crack game, is a craps game, is the Pats game. When you let the inmates run the asylum, madness is bound to break loose. Wrestling is a zoo because in the fictional world of their competition, the basic, brutal, simple, savage human instinct always takes precedence over sane logic, reasoning or legalities. To become figurehead, CEO or GM of the company you must fight somebody for it. Somebody disrespects you, spills coffee on you, smiles in your face... you fight them. Hear the lions roar and see the antelopes flee. In the world of professional wrestling, we've seen the biggest and baddest of all the animals pass through. Pampero Firpo, the original Sheik to the backyard wrestlers of today who compete amongst razor blades and syringes. It's like a deadly game of freeze tag - and in the streets of Broken City, once you get hit with the .44 mag you're frozen stiff inside a body bag. The crack game is an admirable comparison; for any underground society that operates outside the laws of the Western land must in turn create its own system of checks and balances. AKA "techs and silencers". That's why murder is legal in that game; the snuffing out of one’s flame to make your own candle blow brighter is basic human instinct. And that's why "murder" is legal in the wrestling game. Only in a zoo, or the Amazons, or the concrete jungle is it not only expected you retaliate, initiate or devastate - it's demanded. It's all about survival, and surviving the dog-eat-dog world of professional wrestling means only one thing - becoming the champ. The literal, figurative and metaphorical King of the Jungle...

"Origin of Violence Hype-Show" [/size][/color] ”From the dawning of man, violence has always been one of the defining characteristics of humankind. Throughout all of history we see evidence of man's tendencies toward acting violently in response to his emotions - everything from anger, fear, to just plain enjoyment. But to where can we trace the true origin of violence, the place where it all begins? Does the root of violence stem from societal and cultural values or can we point the finger at a deeper cause, one with a neurobiological basis? Can we successfully predict the violent tendencies in individuals, and if so, how? And if there is a biological basis for violent behavior, where does that leave our society and our methods of control? These were the questions I sought to have answered.”
• Janine R. Fuertes ("IS THE BRAIN TO BLAME? SEARCHING FOR THE ORIGINS OF VIOLENCE") ”If we are primarily interested in tracing the roots of violent behavior, it would be most helpful to look back to the time when our thoughts and actions were only beginning to be shaped, when our minds were impressionable and constantly curious - our childhood… so that we may begin to paint a picture of the environment in which the violent individual is born.” Introducing the Announce Team for the evening: Gordon Solie & Matt StrikerAt “DEEPER than WRESTLING”, Vic Grimes and New Jack were mutually exterminated from the ranks of BCCW. But more than losing a “King of the Death Match” champion, the streets of Broken City were robbed of one of its most potent suppliers. With the apparent demise of “Vicious” Vic Grimes AKA “the Kilo Killa” – there have been a lot of dry spots as drought season set in early. There has also been a power vacuum within the ranks of the “Cannibal Cartel” – Grimes’ handpicked drug-running gang. Former right-hand lackey, now desolate chamber monkey, TRENT ACID in particular has been wilding. Buggin out, fiendin and seemingly disconnected from reality more and more, Trent Acid has gone on a wild, unpredictable streak in BCCW. Showing up unannounced for matches he’s not scheduled to appear in, disappearing for long stretches, random run-ins and backstage assaults on production members… Trent Acid has seemingly lost his marbles. BCCW sent in a liaison to help reel him back in, but is it too late for the disturbed Trent Acid? [/color] "CZW" = BCCWTrent Acid: "Best of the Best" ____________________________________________________________ “The human brain is remarkable in its ability to work in a use-dependent fashion - that is to say that the more a neural system is activated, the more it will change. Disruptions of the neurochemical signals during these periods may potentially lead to abnormalities in neurodevelopment - some of which are irreversible. Evidence shows that exposure to violence or trauma alters the developing brain by altering normal neurodevelopmental processes. Trauma influences the intensity and nature of the sensory and affective experience of events in childhood, while threat activates the brain's stress response, which can subsequently alter neurogenesis, synaptogenesis, and neurochemical differentiation.” The NEW Straight Edge Society [/size][/color] JAKE “the Snake” ROBERTS: Miserable. Miserable is a good thing, though. If you start the day miserable, nobody else can screw up your day. I guess you saw when I dropped them [Necro Butcher & Luke Gallows] on their head at ”DEEPER than WRESTLING”. You know that almost killed them? We did it and they’re gone for good. The swelling was so bad it was like four inches out. It was so cool. [/color] [laughs] It just goes to show you what idiots they are. I look at it like this: It's the sad thing about entertainment, it's not always about who is the best. Jake The Snake had a horrible time playing politics. I never had a belt, didn't need one. They tried to put me against Hogan twice, but when the people chanted for me, when they chanted for the DDT, that was the end of that. They couldn't ruin their marketing. We shot the angle in Phoenix where I DDT'd Hogan, but they only showed it in two markets. Unfortunately it's because the man who is in power points the finger and says "You're it." With television, he has the opportunity to turn chicken sh!t into chicken soup. It isn't talent that matters, it's TV time. Oh well, there are bad choice made every day. I can prove that any time. Jake Roberts didn't go out there and play games, I played mind games. I didn't need to dive off ladders through tables. It doesn't take a great wrestler to jump off of a cage and crash through three tables, it takes a damn idiot. Today it's kind of funny how the fans applaud people for doing all of these sick, foolish things. In the street, they'd lock you in a padded room and call you a suicidal maniac. That's not a great wrestler.
To me that’s like using a Lex Luger move where you kill something…whether that's a clothesline or a lady. Sorry, didn't mean that, but I did too. At least I'm an honest prick. Well, merry syphilis, happy gonorrhea. Get Bobby Heenan to talk about me, he knows me. I once watched Bobby Heenan get bitch slapped by Randy Savage for taking a piss outside the car, man, I've been there with all of them. Every moment is an experience. You don't put 20-30 men in a building, in dressing rooms, where it doesn't matter how great you are, what matters is who has their nose the furthest up Vince's ass. That's what made me so sick about that kiss my ass thing they did. It was the damn truth. It's true. But finding the truth through Straight Edge? I did it the stupid way, through trial and error. I never even wanted to be a wrestler, to tell you the truth. My father was a very large man, seven feet tall, four hundred pounds, and he wrestled. I was always scared to death I was going to lose my father; I was never around him anyway. I saw him twice a year for fifteen minutes, but it didn't matter; every child still wants that father. A child's hope is that your father comes riding in on that white stallion and saves them. You can't make somebody love you the way you want them to love you, it's not a Leave it to Beaver type world. This isn't television. Life's a lot crueler than that. I went to visit my father to tell him that I was going to go to college and become an architect…that was my dream. I was like, yeah I graduated from school, but it's not like you showed up for that. But all he was worried about is whether or not I wanted money from him. A few nights later, between the alcohol, the ignorance, and the youth, I was at a wrestling show watching him wrestle and decided in my idiot of a brain, mixed with a little beer, that if I was to ever get my father to love me, I would have to go in there and challenge one of those wrestlers. If I was able to beat one of them up, my father would have to love me. Well, it didn't happen quite that way. I was pretty much humiliated, went back to the locker room and proceeded to piss myself, puke, and everything else. The wrestler I challenged knew who I was, but he didn't cripple me, so I'm lucky for that. He damn sure did humiliate me for fifteen minutes, stretched me every which way. I was an 18 year-old stupid kid thinking how great and beautiful I was, and he really put a number on me. I walked back to the locker room and my dad said: "You're gutless, I'm ashamed of you, and you'll never amount to anything." That's when I gave up my dream of being an architect and chased my father's dream. I'm still chasing it because I'll never hear him say the words I want to hear. But I love going out there and giving people a ride. It's the only time my body doesn't hurt. The truth is a brutal thing, I just hope that the kids take the time to learn about each of the wrestlers in my new Straight Edge Society, and if the kids can learn from our mistakes, that would make me a happy man. Our first mission in BCCW?... Alexxis and Serena. That's two women, so that just shows you what the rest of them are. Oh, did I say that? I think it's great, it's funnier than hell.

”Other studies have been conducted in order to shed some light on the connection between the brain and a person's violent tendencies. One such study was performed where psychologists observed brain imaging data from a large group of people with aggressive personality disorder and convicted murderers. The project focused on specific brain regions: the orbital front cortex, which plays an important role in controlling impulsive outbursts, the anterior cingulate cortex, which recruits other brain regions when conflicts arise, and the small amygdala, which is involved in producing a fear response and other negative emotions. The results showed that in many of the study groups, normal activity in the orbital and anterior regions was absent, while the amygdala showed normal and sometimes even heightened activity. The inability of the two cortical regions to successfully counteract the actions of the amygdala may explain why threatening situations can become intense in some individuals.” "BRAIN POWER"[/size][/color] Bobby “the Brain” Heenan was a guest caller on the Modern Finance morning radio call-in show. The topic was the large amount of money Heenan and his Diamond Dynasty had attained, and how they planned to invest portions of the sum. Heenan said they were in the market to sign a new Diamond Free-Agent – platinum status. He promised to announce the acquisition at the next BCCW ppv “ORIGINS of VIOLENCE”. BOBBY “the Brain” HEENAN: They asked me if I would manage him and I said no, but I would be his sports agent. The owners and everything was first class, my checks didn’t bounce. It was in San Francisco. We gave him 10 grand to come out and do this. Our office wants to surprise the people. I will have had him on radio stations, I will have him in the Bay Area talking to people, I will give tickets to kids in the projects. I will announce to everyone that he is going to be at the next BCCW PPV!!! THAT’S how you promote! Not hide a man with the caliber and luster of the Diamond Dynasty!!!. [/color] _____________________________________________________________ At “DEEPER than WRESTLING”, The Gold Dust Trio Inc. announced their own free-agent acquisition: the Animal BATISTA. He made a statement by steam-rolling the Legends Guild, and incapacitating Sammartino’s tag team partner Pedro Morales (perhaps permanently). In retaliation, Sammartino has begun training at the famed Marciano Fight Camp here in Broken City. Some say the spirit of Rocky Marciano still walks the gyms halls, and can be heard piffing away on the heavy bag on some late nights. Bruno Sammartino hopes that same fighting spirit will inhabit him when he steps into the cage to fight Batista at the next BCCW ppv “ORIGINS of VIOLENCE”. BRUNO SAMMARTINO: At the Y where I used to train, they had a ring where three days a week they would do boxing and three days a week would be for us on the mat. The boxing coach was a guy by the name of Al Quayle who was a tremendous fighter in his heyday he was a top contender as a light heavyweight he never quite made it to the top because we had a guy at the time Billy Cohn who was the top gun at the time. Al Quayle was a terrific guy, he used to watch me workout and he said to me, “I was just watching you in there with that wrestling stuff and you really have fast hands. Did you ever think of trying boxing?” I said, “No. I like boxing and I’m a fan, I watch it on television but I never.” He says, “Why don’t you try it, why don’t you let me work with you a little bit?” I said, “Nah I like wrestling and weight lifting.” He says, “What have you got to lose?” I said, “Okay.” I started working out, he started having me do a little shadow boxing, hitting the bag, skipping rope, and all of that kind of other stuff. Before I knew it I started sparring with a few guys and he was impressed most by my ability to take a punch. I could take a pretty good amount of blows and not go down or be affected by them and that impressed him. He said to me, “You know anybody that could take shots like I’ve seen you take here and not even flinch, if you could be taught the proper skills you could really do something. I have a connection in New York, you’ve got nothing to lose, I want them to look you over and see what they think.” We go to New York and Sonny Liston I didn’t know anything about him at the time, absolutely nothing. He had been in jail and he was out of jail, in Stillman’s Gym working out, and there was a priest with him. I don’t know the whole story but he was kind of there to keep him straight because evidently he had been in trouble in his young days, I don’t know the whole story but anyway. So anyway they put me in the ring with him to spar and to be perfectly honest with you Eric I was throwing punches wild and stuff. Obviously he was more skilled. Evidently, he had a background in boxing and stuff like that before he went to jail. The skills were there and he would counter and to be honest (laugh), he hit me a lot of times and I don’t think I ever nailed him because I was throwing a lot of punches all over the place and he was blocking and countering and so forth. So they came to the conclusion that I needed a lot of work to be a boxer, but they were impressed that I could take really good shots. They wanted to get me a job at the shipyards during the day to make a living and then at night I’d be training at Stillman’s Gym. I had to really speak up and I told Al Quayle who flew up with me, “Look, I could never be really good at this because this is not where my heart is. I love two sports, wrestling and weightlifting and I want to continue with those two. I will not give up weightlifting.” I was told I had to give up weightlifting altogether if you were going to train for boxing. I said, “No I will not do that because I loved the competition.” I competed in both Olympic lifting and power lifting and it never interfered with wrestling. So with that, that was the end of my boxing career. [/color] ____________________________________________________________ "PUBLIC ENEMY #1"[/size][/color] For weeks leading up to this show, the Public Enemy of wrestling (Grunge & Rocco) have been promising us a huge announcement. Despite their recent losses to the BLK MOBB, the PE have looked good in the ring – and of course continue to retain their massive fan base. So many have hoped their announcement has something to do with a new challenge; an attempt to move up further in the suddenly stacked BCCW tag team ranks. Others have feared it may be the official Public Enemy retirement speech that we never received. Let’s bring you down to ringside for this historic moment… The DUDLEY BOYZ are in BCCW!!! In an effort to prove themselves in the last bastion of pro wrestling’s fantasy rankings – BCCW – the Dudley Boyz are determined to remove the OG Public Enemy once and for all. Who can assert their superiority and become #1??? _______________________________________________________________ "BLACK BASTARDS"[/color][/size] Meanwhile, Broken City street superstars the BLK MOBB (Ruckus & Sabian) have taken to the airwaves to explain their recent attack on BCCW Tag Team champions the Trust Busters (Lou Thesz & Jack Swagger) and subsequent challenge for the belts. SABIAN: Any vet that has been to the top, and are willing to share their knowledge and advice with us guys that are on the come up… the TrustBusters are not those guys! Guys that are respectful, humble and appreciative for getting this advice from them… we ain’t those guys!!! The greatest advice I’ve ever received is that no matter how long you’re in the game, you never stop learning. Also never forget where you come from![/color] (throws up BLK MOBB set gang sign) RUCKUS: The Trustbusters whole style is wack. Jack Swagger thinks he’s unbelievable?. Lucha Libre is unbelievable. I mean, you bring in a unique style of wrestling with Lucha. My style, I try to mix a little bit of Lucha Libre, plus some stuff you wouldn't see on a normal show. Fuck the Trustbusters. If you look at it right now, look at any typical match. That's all spots. Look at the stuff on Monday nights and it's just punching and kicking. No one wants to see that. My matches, I'd compare them to an old kung fu movie. You see a lot of different stuff in my matches. If a person thinks I'm too spotty then they don't have to watch me, you know? [/color] ** The Trustbusters had this to say in response: **LOU THESZ: There was a wrestler by the name of Ruckus & Sabian. Strange personalities, not very likable guy s. And kind of a smart ass. But they got lucky and made a lot of money, and they got a little louder when they did that. So they were watching us ( Trustbusters versus Cannibal Cartel from “DEEPER than WRESTLING”) go at it. And not to say anything unkind about either one, but neither of them were really sophisticated wrestlers. But they were fooling around, really getting after it. So th e BLK MOBB came to ringside, and he told me, "Hey, punk, you're not doing too well". I don't care if it was the President of the United States or who it was, I’d tell them what I thought, you know. They were really dark, not Negro, but very dark. And at that time "nigger" was not a bad word. "Look, nigger, if you want to get a piece of this action, just get your black ass and get a pair of tights and get your ass in the ring, and you try me." The guy just backed off and went his way. He left. But it was a good choice that he left, because we were gonna go get them! That's the difference in people… [/color] _______________________________________________________________ ”HARDCORE BEFORE HARDCORE WAS EVEN A BRAND…”[/size][/color] Since the removal of their leader, the Cannibal Cartel tag team of “Sick” Nick Mondo & Madman Pondo have been on an uncontrollable tear. They raised hell against the tag team champs, bringing them to the brink of destruction multiple times. As the stakes continue to raise, the razors continue to burn. Their most recent claim to be the most hardcore tag-team unit of all time in a recent magazine interview seemed to raise the ire of the entire wrestling world. But only one team was hardcore enough to answer that subliminal challenge – The SHEEPHERDERS from New Zealand! One of… if not THE…. Craziest, most insane, bloodthirsty tag teams in wrestling history. Believe it. LUKE WILLIAMS: The fans in Puerto Rico have always been very passionate. We developed matches like fire, barbed wire, and chain matches that catered to those fans. It drew a lot of people and was great business. Butch and I were hardcore before hardcore was even a brand! ”SICK” NICK MONDO: (chuckles sarcastically) Fight the Sheepherders??? That's a tough one. I think it would be quite a thrill, but I don't think I'd be willing to give up my entire style to work something like a fucking “Bushwhacker” gimmick or something. I'd love to work with Trent Acid, BLK MOBB, Bubba Ray Dudley, D-Von Dudley, etc. But I'm happy in BCCW now and that's where my thoughts are centered. [/color] ** At the next BCCW ppv, the Cannibal Cartel (Nick Mondo & Madman Pondo) will combat the mighty Sheepherders in a Do-or-Die Tag Team Death Match for eternal hardcore bragging rights!!! **_____________________________________________________________ "CHAIRMAN of the BOARD"[/size][/color] MISTER MONDT:[/color] (In conversation with partners Ed “Strangler” Lewis & The Grand Wizard) Back in the old days, Ed, we slept nights because we had you on top, a champion who could wrestle. Even Gotch and Stecher were fellows who could hold their own by fair means or foul, when called upon to do so. Now Cena has cleaned up Wolfe and I’m matching Dave with Bruno in Philadelphia. Dave will win that one certain, and after that we’ll have a champion who we know we can exploit properly and we won’t have to take any guff from anyone… In one last desperate attempt to rid BCCW of the rebel John Cena, and reclaim the Unified World Championship as their own – the Gold Dust Trio Inc has arranged for a penultimate battle of opposing forces. Toots Mondt himself will finally step into the ring one-on-one with the Champ John Cena. Of course, he’s seemingly stacked the deck in his own favor by recruiting his stablemates Triple H, Desmond Wolfe & Ed “Strangler” Lewis as outside enforcers and “lumberjacks” for his match against Cena. But John Cena has promised to unveil one last Ace up his sleeve… JOHN CENA: Yeah, I’m going old-school. Man, the timing was perfect. I had just started [with BCCW], and they did a special on what it takes to become a wrestler. It was crazy because I didn't even know how to become a wrestler, and I wish they would've done the documentary earlier so I would've known something going in. I really fell into wrestling school by chance. This person I was working with told me that they were going to become a wrestler, and I should think about doing it as well. No sooner did he say that he was going to become a wrestler that I was all over him about how to do it, where do I go, what do I do. I just wish I would've known about this stuff earlier, but the Gold Dust Trio got a big surprise coming their way at “ORIGINS of VIOLENCE”. A BIG surprise, brother… [/color] ”In conclusion, the true key in understanding the origins of violence remains in understanding the broader picture - the type of environment that raised the individual, the effect it had on his developing brain, and the already existing, genetic predisposition the person has towards violence. I have learned that the debate over nature vs. nurture has resulted in a tie, with both working hand in hand to create the violent personality, and that one without the other often leads to no signs of violence at all.” _______________________________________________________________ CREDITS: BRUNO SAMMARTINO: Camel Clutch interview July 22, 2009 JAKE “the Snake” ROBERTS: IGN Interview December 18, 2003 MISTER MONDT: Fall Guys: The Barnums of Bounce (1937) SABIAN: Myspace Interview March 9th, 2009 RUCKUS: SoCal Uncensored Interview LUKE WILLIAMS: SLAM!
