Paid Members Statto Posted August 12, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted August 12, 2014 I don't see what the problem is with what Phillips said, and it's not the first time they've done it either. If the BBC continuity announcer this Saturday night said "After the news we'll join Gary Lineker and the team as we catch up with all the results and storylines from the first day of the new Premier League season in Match of the Day" I wouldn't bat an eyelid. It's just another way of saying "events" or "happenings", surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just another way of saying "events" or "happenings", surely? I hear what you're saying although for me it was the context in which it was said. In a business where they are trying to sell a story as reality, I don't want to be reminded of which is which, I want it to become one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krytie 2X4B 523P Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Glad Steen has a shot, it would be strange seeing him wrestle Sami Zayn if they get the chance which I hope they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forrest Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Didn't he get super kicked by HBK at Wrestlemania 12? Damn, sad to see a long time employee get the sack. I guess they figured they can employ someone young to do his job for a fraction of the cost. On that note, exactly what is a timekeeper's job in wrestling? Matches typically don't have time limits nowadays, so what do they do beyond bell ringing? I always thought that they were responsible for recording an official match time for the archives? In fact, do WWE keep records of results from every event they do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted August 15, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted August 15, 2014 Kriss Sprules and Death Threats... It was shortly after the Cage Tyler match; I essentially deflected the criticism by being as big an asshole as possible online and would get the odd email death threat. Anyway, I woke up one morning to find that some fucker had hand-delivered a note to my house saying that he was going to kill me and my family if I ever wrestled again. I immediately took myself off the card for the next OPWO show, made excuses to my then-fiancee (who owned the promotion) about wanting to let shit die down and just kept a low profile. I was genuinely scared that someone would harm my family over a wrestling match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShowOff Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I don't know why somebody would want to lie about something like that... but yeah, I think he's lying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 If true, imagine it was the fiance. Drop the death threat note on the carpet under the letter box, back to bed, etc. But I doubt it's true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted August 15, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted August 15, 2014 Since leaving wrestling, I've fulfilled a few semi-interesting jobs; I've been a journalist, writing for websites such as TheCarmineProject.com, Soccerly.com and for Piledriver Magazine. I've also been a screenwriter and offer tips and mentoring on writing for film through my own blog. I've also been involved in acting, stand-up, TV production and music, worked in bars, and all manner of shit.Bloody hell, what HASN'T he done? Talk about living the dream!

I don't believe the death threat at all. I've fulfilled a few semi-interesting jobs Screen writing? TV Production? Music (pretty vague..)? I'd like if he substantiated that list with specifics.

King Coconut Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 If he didn't become a screen writer, producer or musician he must have been shit at it too. Why would you broadcast the fact that you've never found anything you're good at and who the fuck would ask for his advice? Loves the Internet, I do.

DJM Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 (edited) Dean Ambrose is starring in the next WWE film, production starts this month apparently. From variety.com: “Lockdown” will become the second action film that WWE Studios and Lionsgate will co-produce and release through their “six-pack” movie deal. WWE star Jonathan Good, known in the ring as Dean Ambrose, will headline the film, to be directed by Stephen Reynolds (“Tomb Raider: Ascension”). Production starts this month. Written by Nathan Brooks and Bobby Lee Darby (“See No Evil 2″), “Lockdown” follows a police officer who finds himself trapped inside his own precinct and hunted after crooked cops stop at nothing to recover incriminating evidence of illegal activities against those closest to him. So pretty much Assault On Precinct 13. Edited August 15, 2014 by DJM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
