His own opinion.

From the 4/27/09 Wrestling Observer, regarding the 4/16/09 TNA Impact show: "I don't know if it was the best go-home show or best show in company history. Definitely not the best show."

So he wasted 56 characters to basically disprove a point. That he, himself, made. We approve!

In fact, we've gotten Dave Meltzer to write a Testimonial for YCPK:

"I don't know if You Can't Powerbomb Kidman is the best wrestling-related humour site. I haven't found another option, but it's definitely not the best site. "

Thanks Dave!

Loki: Beloved pet of Mickey Rourke
Lo-Ki: Beloved by Pavlovian Internet fans

Loki: is buried in a Pet Cemetary
Lo-Ki: was buried in the TNA undercard as Senshi

Loki: Small enough to be carried in Mickey Rourke's pocket.
Lo-Ki: Small enough to be carried by a good worker.

Loki: Is a Chihauha.
Lo-Ki: Is a former member of the Rottweilers.

Lo-Ki: Is bald.

Loki: Is a Chihauha. So, yeah, he's also bald. (Technically, WAS also bald.)

Loki: Has a surprisingly loud bark.
Low-Ki: Has a surprisingly deep voice.

Low-Ki: Criticized for his stiff way of working.
Loki: Is currently experiencing Rigor Morits-related sitffness.

Decision: You want either a tiny, decaying dog or Mickey Rourke's pet? Go for it!!

From UFC 98, Sean Sherk vs. Frankie Edgar (6/3/09 Observer) : "Sherk did better in a late exchange, but never once tried for a takedown, and he sure needed it in the second round because he had to win the second round, and he didn't. Fans sensed the upset and started chanting 'Frankie.' I was looking for a bird shitting on Mike Goldberg's notes."

Here, Dave hates:

Ripped From the Headlines

2009-06-13T18:56:00.002-04:00

Roxxi from TNA sent in a resume to come in to AAA.
(From the AAA section of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter--6/15/09)

An anonymous source has provided YCPK with a copy of the audiotape of the resulting Job Interview. (Actually, the Anonymous Source was a luchador whose mask we recognized who will remain incognito) (Sorry Incognito. Ur Bustd!)

Joachin Roldan: Come in, Miss...Rockzinsky?

Roxxi: Thank you. It's actually spelled "Raczynski." But, since this is an audiotape, it's pronounced like you said it.

JR: So I understand from your resume that you're interested in working for AAA. That's pronounced "Triplay Ahhh," by the way. Since this is an audiotape, you probably wouldn't have known the difference in what I said there, versus what was written, but I felt like we should be authentic.

Roxxi: Well, I really appreciate your time. Jobs in womens' wrestling are pretty exploitative, and I am a fan of the dignity AAA affords to their females.

JR: In looking at your cover letter, you say that your Objective is, and I quote, "To find a job in Triple A wrestling, possibly in a Romance Storyline involving relatives of Gran Apache or as Teddy Hart's girlfriend who shows her panties to the crowd. Ultimately, I would like to advance to a level where I'm involved with one of those Man/Woman/Transvestite/Mini matches."

Roxxi: One thing you'll learn about me, sir, is that I always aim high.

JR: That's good. 'Cause if you look up "class" in a Mexican Dictionary, you see "AAA Wrestling."
Question: Do you find it ironic that you left a Vince Russo-booked promotion, and now are begging to team with a transvestite?

Roxxi: Well, I did team with ODB in TNA. So, y'know, I'm used to it.

JR: Wait, ODB is...

Roxxi: Yep, ODB is a girl.

JR: No shit!

Roxxi: Can you say "shit" on YCPK?

JR: Fuck yeah!

Roxxi: Can you say "fuck?"

JR: Well, no. Not rea...

Konnan: OYALE!

JR: Ah, crap.

Konnan: I said "OYALE!!"

JR: /sigh
JR: What are you doing here?

Konnan: I'm the owner of AAA, and I'm here to interview Roxxi for a potential job. What are YOU doing here?

JR: Yeah, actually, I'm the owner of AAA. Antonio Pena passed away, and I took over. What we're doing with you being an owner...that's just an angle.

Konnan: Hee hee. You really believe that? In Mexico, the only things that are legally binding are pet ownership and Lucha stipulations. Everything else is pretty much a free for all...

JR: Man, I knew I never shoulda booked that match where Konnan, Electro Shock, Kenzo Suzuki, & Rellik won a "Steel Cage Elimination" Match over Latin Lover, Octagon, La Parka II, & Super Fly, thus giving you ownership of the promotion.

Konnan: Pretty much, bad on you. The owner of AAA could have been Super Fly if you weren't dumb.

JR: Or me, kinda, if I didn't book any match at all.

Konnan: Right. But I did have Antonio Pena's ashes, and you were all pissed off and...

Roxxi: So, and I hate to interrupt this cut & paste from places that aren't Luchawiki.com, but do I get the job or what?

JR: (/consults notes, since he's a lawyer and stuff) Konnan's right. I'll hang around, but it's his interview. That is--until I win ownership back at TripleMania!

Konnan: Yeah, but that's not til...

JR: June 13, 2009!! Only on (Mexican) Pay-per-view!! Shoot. I better get go...

Roxxi: Is this thing even about my resume anymore? Bill kind of requested a resume-related post.

Konnan: Fine...we'll continue the interview. (/snatches resume from Roldan)

Konnan: It says here that you've worked as both "Roxxi Laveaux" as well as "Nikki Roxx."

Roxxi: Right.

Konnan: My question is...would you be willing to shit in Juventud Guerrera's gym bag if he gets mouthy?

Roxxi: If I'm in Mexico, the water's gonna give me diarrhea anywa...

Konnan: OYALE!

Roxxi:...

Konnan: OYALE!!

JR (to Roxxi): I think the correct response is "Arriba La Raza."

Roxxi: Arriba la raza.

Konnan: Dude.

JR: Dude.

Roxxi: What now??

Konnan: "La Raza" should be capitalized there. It's disrespectful not to do that. I'm going to have to mark you down on that one. (/jots down notes)

Roxxi: How would you know that?? This was a verbal interview!

Konnan: And?

Roxxi: And your "pen" is actually Mini Charly Manson!! Mostly...how am I the straight man in this thing???

Konnan: Yeah, you sent a RESUME to AAA, looking for a job. (/giggle) Has any wrestler...ever? Sent a resume..anywhere? For a job? Y'know, except for DDP. But he's so charming, it's hard to resist.

JR: Pretty sexy, in his own way...

Roxxi: ARRGH! This is worse than those NECW shows where that one stupid tall guy used to give Sheldon Golberg "advice" like "bring Doug Williams back" and "I've heard from guys backstage that Talia is a slut."

Konnan: Whoa. Don't group us with HIM. I'm a heel, but I don't get THAT kind of heat. We should move on...Joachin?

JR: Uh, Roxxi...you were trained by Steve Bradley. Do you see your career being better or worse than his?

Roxxi: Wow. That seemed to be an actual question. Thanks. I would hope to be half the worker he was...

Konnan: ...'Cause he was pretty good...

Roxxi: ...but I'd also like to have a longer career than he did.

Konnan: ...since he OD'd at the age of 33.

Roxxi: The good news is that I'm...

Konnan: I'll wait while you consult Onlineworldofwrestling.com.

Roxxi: ...30. I apparently turned 30 in April. So if I make it 4 more years, I'm good.

Konnan: Touch my belt...THAT'S ENOUGH! Does anyone even remember that bit? Fine...I'll keep your resume on file and get back to you.

JR: Or, maybe, I'LL keep your resume on file, for when I win ownership back when my team of El Hijo del Santo, La Parka, Vampiro, Octagón, and Jack Evans defeats his team of Silver King, Chessman, Kenzo Suzuki, Electroshock and Teddy Hart...Saturday, June 13, 2009, ONLY on (Mexican) Pay-per-view!

Roxxi: Is that the end of the interview? I'm really confused here.

Konnan: HOLY SHIT ARE WE SEEING THE GI JOE MOVIE?!

JR: FUCK YEAH!! STORM SHADOW IS THE POOR MAN'S OCTAGON!!!

Roxxi: I'll, uh, just see myself out...

Moves You Shouldn't Do: Bodyslam

2009-06-12T23:11:00.000-04:00

You are: Hulk Hogan

Your Opponent: Some Fat Guy

The Setup: Hulkamania is running wild early, and you try to lift up a Superheavyweight within the first five minutes of the match.

The Result: You are not strong enough, so he falls backwards onto you for a two-count. Later on in the match (post-Hulk-up), you'll be fine. At the beginning, it's a transition, Brother!

Moves You Shouldn't Do: Throw a Killer Bee Outside

2009-06-12T22:28:00.004-04:00

You are: You and a partner.

Your opponent: The Killer Bees.

The Setup: During a match where you're supposed to get "squashed," you get the heat and throw either Brian Blair or Jim Brunzell outside the ring.

The Result: Both Blair and Brunzell go under the apron and put on masks. They emerge simultaneously, and, despite obvious physical differences, they switch places and pin you. I mean--they were gonna win anyway, why cheat like that???

Moves Ric Flair Shouldn't Do: Powerbomb Kidman

2009-04-04T00:06:00.000-04:00

We at YCPK like to commemorate things. Like birthdays and Solar Eclipses and stuff. In keeping with that tradition, we will commemorate Wrestlemania 25 and Ric Flair's pending retirement by providing Ric Flair-related content leading up to the big day. You're excited, right? You should b...oh. Hmmm...apparently, Ric Flair retired last year. But since we already have the content ready to go...

You are: The one and only, Nature Boy Ric Flair

Your opponent: Billy Kidman

The setup: You have Kidman set up for a piledriver but realize, hey, you're Ric Flair. So you try to powerbomb him.

The result: OK, at this point, you REALLY don't get it. Like it says right at the top of the page: You. Can't. Powerbomb. Kidman. That means don't effin' try it. Even if you're Ric Flair. Heck, ESPECIALLY if you're Ric Flair. Like 98% of your moves get reversed. Hang your head in shame for even trying!

Answer: Only if Vince McMahon told him to.

Moves Ric Flair Shouldn't Do: Attack a Guy While Dressed

2009-04-02T00:01:00.000-04:00

You are: Richard Morgan Fleihr

Your opponent: A young, fiery babyface from the 1980s.

The setup: You show up to the studios for a little interview time. You're stylin' and profilin' in your best suit (which apparently costs more than I make in a year). As some young, fiery babyface comes to the ringside area, you decide to show this punk a lesson.

The result: Well, you're pretty quickly overwhelmed by the youngness and fireyness of this young, fiery babyface. Not content to just beat on you, he proceeds to rip off your custom-made suit and leave you in boxers, black socks and shoes. How embarassing!

Moves You Shouldn't Do: Throw Ricky Steamboat Over the Top Rope

2009-04-01T20:59:00.000-04:00

You are: You.

Your opponent: Ricky Steamboat.

The setup: You are in control of Ricky Steamboat and decide to throw him over the top rope. Naturally he's going to go to the floor. It's not even worth checking on. Go ahead and turn your back and play to the crowd. You've earned it!

The result: Steamboat holds on and Skins the Cat back into the ring. Since your back is turned, your'e a Prime Target for a Dropkick or a Reverse Rolling Cradle. Many a heel has fallen for this one. Don't be a statistic!

Moves Ric Flair Shouldn't Do: Attempt a Hiptoss off the Ropes

2009-03-31T11:55:00.000-04:00

You are: Ric Flair. Really? You need this explained to you at this point??

Your opponent: Pretty much anyone.

The setup: You whip the other wrestler into the ropes and set him off for a hiptoss.

The result: If it's the middle of the match, your foe turns it into an Abdominal Stretch. If it's near the end of the match, he turns it into a Backslide. If it's at Texas Stadium, he turns it into a pinfall.

Corrections/Retractions: Dory Funk, Jr.

2009-03-30T20:47:00.000-04:00

Editor's Note: Dory Funk, Jr., did not wear facepaint and wrestle as the Ultimate Warrior in the 1980s. We regret the error.

Moves Ric Flair Shouldn't Do: Take a Side Headlock

2009-03-29T11:43:00.000-04:00

You are: Ric Flair. Obviously.

Your opponent: Anyone. Literally ANYONE.

The setup: At some random point in the match, you grab your opponent and take him down with a side headlock.

The result: The other wrestler turns it into a headscissors. No big deal--you flip out and land in a pinning position with your back on his chest. But he's able to bridge up, then turn it into a backslide for a potential pin. If it's that one match against Jack Brisco, it IS the pin. Whoops. Maybe you shouldn't grab the guy's wrists as he bridges up, huh?

2009-03-26T23:29:00.003-04:00

You are: Ric Flair. Duh.

Your opponent: Some big muscly guy.

The setup: You push your foe into the corner and chop him squarely in the chest. That'll show him.

The result: He no sells it. Your shock at this renders you defenseless to his pushing YOU into the corner. He then hiptosses you out, and follows with a move of some sort. If it's a good muscly guy like Sting, it's a dropkick. If it's a kinda sucky muscly guy like Lex Luger, it's a clothesline. If it's a guy who sucks and his finisher is a clothesline like Nikita Koloff, it's a weird back-elbow thing. In any event--reversal, hiptoss, move, and you have to powder while he pounds his chest or flexes or does whatever Nikita Koloff did (grow a flattop?).

Moves You Shouldn't Do: Receive a Ceremonial Headdress

2009-03-06T20:51:00.002-05:00

You are: A worker with a Native American gimmick.

Your opponent: Some dastardly heel.

The Setup: As a celebration of your success, your tribe awards you its highest honor--a Ceremonial Headdress. You thank the Chief and hang the headdress on the ringpost while you work your match.

The Result: Some heel comes out and destroys it. Despite only having owned it for like 3 minutes, you are unreasonably attached to this item, and you probably cry. Nobody likes a sad Indian...

Why I'd Be a Bad Pro-Wrestler: Reason #41

2009-02-26T21:12:00.000-05:00

I'd be more than happy to have the local police press charges against some heel who blinded my girlfriend with ink. There would be no need for me to try to "settle it in the ring." I really don't think that the heel would learn anything by main eventing around the circuit. He would seem to benefit from this, actually. No, a nice stint in jail seems appropriate.

Moves You Shouldn't Do: Show Up at a TV Taping in Tampa, FL in 1987

2009-02-25T21:05:00.000-05:00

You are: The British Bulldogs

Your opponent: Anyone, probably.

The Setup: As the reigning WWF Tag Team Champions, you and your faithful bulldog Matilda decide to honour your commitments and attend all WWF Superstars tapings, including in Tampa, FL.

The Result: Well...in January 1987, you get screwed out of your Tag Team Titles by that crooked referee Danny Davis. Then in December, the damn Islanders kidnap Matilda from right under your noses. Thank your lucky stars that there were only two tapings that year--who knows what else you would have lost.

Living the Gimmick: Devastation Incorporated

2009-02-23T20:51:00.002-05:00

Workers: Gen. Skandor Akbar's Devastation Incorporated

Gimmick: An army of monster heels bent on the destruction of all that is good and holy in this world. Or at least in World Class and the UWF.

By Definition: An association of individuals, created by law or under authority of law, having a continuous existence independent of the existences of its members, and powers and liabilities distinct from those of its members. Presumably this association was formed for the purpose of Devastation.

Do They Live the Gimmick?: No. Extensive YCPK research has found no records of any Articles of Incorporation for "Devastation, Incorporated" or "Devastation Inc." on file in the states of Texas, Oklahoma, or Louisiana. Nor are there any records of taxes being filed as a separate entity from Akbar's Army LLC.

Moves You Shouldn't Do: Renounce Anti-Americanism

2009-02-22T20:42:00.003-05:00

You are: A worker with an Angry Foreigner gimmick (ie: Yokozuna, Sgt. Slaughter, Nikita Koloff, Ivan Koloff, Nikolai Volkoff, etc.)

Your opponent: The U S of A

The Setup: Following years of an uppercard push based on your hatred of America, you reailze the joys of Capitalism and vow to defend the United States.

The Result: Your push goes down the crapper. Where you were once a World Champion or a top-level contender, you're now stuck in a low-end Tag Team with Hacksaw Jim Duggan or feuding with the Boris Zhukovs and Paul Jones' of the world. In some cases, you even die because you're fat. For God's sake--stay faithful to your hatred of America!

Jackass Booking: The Legacy

2009-01-10T22:00:00.003-05:00

So Randy Orton's putting together a faction called The Legacy. In story, it is to be a group of second (or third)-generation wrestlers who feel that they are entitled to...something. Booking-wise, it would seem that the intention is to use Orton to elevate some of the young roster members to close to Main Event status. OK. Got it.

Over the last few weeks, he has been putting the candidates through a bit of a "rush" period. If they win, they get to stay in consideration. If they lose, they're out. Pretty easy stuff. As of this writing, both Manu and Sim Snuka have been eliminated and Cody Rhodes remains as the only contender.

This is pretty clearly headed one of two ways:

Option 1: Rhodes will lose on Monday, and Orton will have no more potential Legacy members. How much of a SWERVE would that be? Nobody would see that coming!

Option 2: Rhodes will lose on Monday, and Orton will reveal his Grand Scheme. Out will come the REAL Legacy members--Chavo Guerrero Jr. and Goldust. Goldust will reveal himself to be Dustin Runnells, the son of Dusty Rhodes. I know! SWERVE CITY!! This will elevate Chavo and Goldust and also sets up a natural Cody vs. Dustin feud for Wrestlemania. Chavo will move to Raw and continue his role as "third wheel" in a main event angle.

Pro Wrestling Rulebook: Countouts

2009-01-10T21:40:00.006-05:00

Today: Countouts

5.00—Countouts.
5.01 Participants may not be outside the confines of the Ring for any longer than a referee’s Count of ten (10).
5.02 The Count shall begin when one Participant’s feet touch to the area outside of the ring ropes
5.03 If, after a referee’s Count of five (5), the Participant is still outside of the ring area, the referee shall stop the Count and plead with him to re-enter the ring area (the Plea). For example: “Get back in here!” or “C’mon!”
5.04 Should the Plea fail, the Count begins again at one (1).
5.05 If, after a second referee’s Count of five (5), the Participant is still outside of the ring area, the referee shall stop the Count and verify that the Opponent is in a neutral corner (see Rule 11.09c).
5.06 Once the Opponent is safely in a neutral corner, the Count shall begin again at one (1)
5.07 At the discretion of the Referee, the Count may be re-started at any point before 10. This shall allow the Participant ample time to shine his Title Belt, admire himself in the TitanTron, flirt with Lillian Garcia, or cut a promo.
5.08 If “Countout” is the Finish (see Rule 1.07), then the Count shall last no longer than 2.5 seconds.

6.00 Double Countouts
6.01 Participants may not be outside the confines of the Ring for any longer than a referee’s Count of ten (10).
6.02 The Count shall begin when one Participant’s feet touch to the area outside of the ring ropes

6.03 If, after a referee’s Count of five (5), both Participants are still outside of the ring area, the referee is to stop the Count and plead with the Participants to re-enter the ring area (the Plea). For example: “C’mon guys!” or “Get back in here!”

6.04 Immediately after the Plea, the Count shall begin again at one (1)
6.05 If, after a second referee’s Count of (5), both Participants are still outside of the ring area, the referee is to stop the Count and join them at ringside. A second Plea shall then be issued.
6.06 If, after a second Plea, the Participants remain outside of the ring area, the Referee is to restore order immediately. This is best done by following the participants as they brawl around ringside, while randomly Counting and Pleading.
6.07a When one Participant is able to return to the ring, the Count shall re-start on the Opponent (see Rule 5.00)
6.07b If the Participant then returns to the outside of the ring, the Count shall then be re-set to one (1).
6.08a The Count is “broken” and re-started when one Participant re-enters the ring.
6.08b In certain circumstances, Rule 6.08a can be waived and the Count is allowed to continue. This applies only in the following instances:
--A Participant is chased through the ring by an outside Participant with whom he is feuding.
--A Participant is chasing a Manager through the ring in order to rip the Manager’s pants off and show his undergarments to the crowd (eg: Heart-patterned boxers or womens’ garters).
--A Participant is chasing a Mini through the ring because said Mini has bitten him on the butt.
6.09 If “Countout” is the Finish (see Rule 1.07), then the Count shall last no longer than 2.5 seconds.
