Alright, pay attention all has-beens, wanna-bes, never-wases and never-will-bes. I need to introduce myself, I am the true King of Old School. I am one of the last true fans of this sport and I am the only person on the internet not brainwashed by the catch-phrased madness of Vincent K. McMahon. I am the Masked Marauder, look upon me, ye mutants and humans, and despair. Welcome to my column and my world.
For my introductory column I thought I'd address a subject near and dear to the hearts of the IAWA faithful and that's hardcore wrestling. Now let me clarify this to all the plebians. There's two different kinds of hardcore wrestling. The first kind is the kind used by the originators of hardcore, ECW. Their hardcore style is a thing of beauty. There's nothing better than a perfectly timed Vandaminator or a Gore from Rhino through a table. A perfect blend of plunder and wrestling.
Then there's the other kind.
And that includes all the 'I hit you with a cookie sheet, you hit me with a garbage can lid'. The type made infamous by WCW, WWF and IAWA. Listen, you idiots, who friggin' told you that was entertaining? Whoever it was lied to you. Do you want to know the real reason why this type of wrestling is so popular, especially among the wrestlers of the IAWA? Well, I'll tell you. Its to cover up the sheer lack of talent and creativty throughout the federation. Don't believe me? Just look at the last event the IAWA had. There are more weak, and I do mean WEAK plunder shots than lockups. C'mon people, its not that hard.
This is the Masked Marauder.
