			<description><![CDATA[ Taking our esteemed moderator&#39;s advice (but of course, making it much better), I thought it&#39;d be fun to list some of the most famous backstage fights,
and their respective aftermaths. 
<br>
<br>
<strong>Karl Gotch vs. Buddy Rogers:</strong> This one took place back in the days where there was no one promoter controlling a certain wrestler&#39;s career.
 Gotch was becoming one of the top stars in America based on his highly athletic and highly technical style, and Rogers, who was the... ]]></description>

Again, it&#39;s WCW-lite, but the production is actually kinda&#39; decent.� I posted the Kishi/Scott Steiner/Vampiro feud wrap-up in the other topic.� The

Adams.� Adams is also new to the sport, having had his first pro wrestling match three years earlier, in 1978, but he&#39;s better known in England.� Finlay
actually wrestled his first match in 1974, in his father&#39;s promotion in Ireland.� Yeah, that&#39;s three years before Hulk Hogan had his first match.�

My, my!  Twin brothers Alberto and Alejandro Jiménez, formerly known as La Parkita and Espectrito II were found dead in their hotel rooms on June 29, 2009. 
Apparently, the brothers brought home a pair of prostitutes who, as members of the criminal organization La Filtracion, allegedly drug their victims and rob

			<description><![CDATA[ I just finished sitting through the first FMW anniversary show, Yamato Damashii which originally took place in late 1990.
<br>
<br>
At that point in time, FMW was an uneven mix of shoot-style, martial arts and garbage wrestling, with every misfit in Japan and odd over the hill/forgotten
gaijin being welcomed into Ohnita&#39;s family. Zen Nihon and Shin Nihon don&#39;t want you? Come in, my friend, and we&#39;ll talk.
<br>

You&#39;ll quickly notice a few of the bigger names from FMW... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Awaited by whom, you ask? Well, apparently, Micheal D. Ryan aka Llakor of IWS and ISW fame. Apart from him, I suppose some rabid nationalistic Canadian fans
might be chomping at the bits at the idea of tired old Kevin Nash, the man who injures himself simply by walking in the ring, squaring off against the man with
one eye whose career has been declining steadily ever since he left/was fired by the WWF.
<br>
<br>
Here&#39;s what Ryan had to say:

			<description><![CDATA[ The slim and trim poster boy for the blow away diet, &quot;Playboy&quot; Buddy Rose was found dead yesterday by his wife in their Portland home.
<br>
<br>
Rose may be remembered by younger fans as the portly jobber to the stars in constant denial about his ever increasing girth. Some might even reference his
&quot;blow away diet&quot; skit on SNME. Yet, Rose was once a top star all over the west coast, acting as one of the power players in Don Owens&#39; Portland
territory. As the WWF... ]]></description>

theme in this card: David vs. Goliath.  The card in itself seems to be a tribute to the cruiserweight, the underdog.

first five minutes; every time there&#39;s a pinfall, the title changes hands, and whoever scores the final pinfall becomes champion.  So, it&#39;s basically a
combination of an Elimination Chamber match without the cool cage and a Hardcore Invitational without the weapons and humor.  Chavo wins the first pinfall of

  Matt and MVP had.  The ending kind of sucked.  Hardy hits Whisper in the Wind and Shelton Benjamin does a run-in for no apparent reason.  Hardy goes off the
