Aaron Wilson sent this in Dave Kocotos sent this in Koco Sports Radio Hour Host's: Dave Kocotos & Chuck Carter Airdate: 11/26/02 Airtime: 10pm - 11pm Guest's: Bobby "The Brain" Heenan & Mideon Bobby “The Brain” Heenan Chuck and Dave welcome The Brain to the show. Heenan says he is getting better all the time; IPW show will be the first Indy show he has ever been at ever. When asked why, Heenan said he got started working territories, started in Indiana territory and they were territories not independents when he first started. He said the IPW show will be fun and will be like the old days of wrestling plus they are a bunch of good guys. Heenan says working with Gorrilla Monsoon was one of the best memories in wrestling; death of Monsoon was hard on him and his family. Working with Gorrilla was a once in a lifetime opportunity. They didn’t need a script to do the show and they had such great chemistry some of the funniest stuff was during the commercial breaks and off air. Heenan started working for XWF when Jimmy Hart asked him to get involved. He came back to help with his old freeing Mr. Perfect who he will introduce at the IPW and NWA Florida Nov. 30th Show. Heenan thought he had a jaw problem at first but after a doctor’s check up it turned out that he had cancer. Heenan through out the show had a very positive attitude. Heenan’s cancer treatment is getting better; health is improving more and more everyday. The gimmick battle royal was a lot of fun for Heenan (Wrestle Mania X8), got to meet a lot of old friends again, that he hadn’t seen for a while. When asked what was the difference between and WCW he said WWF was Vince Mcmahon’s company and he treated like his baby. Vince slapped its ass and treated like it was his own kid. It was run by Vince where as WCW was run my business people that had no idea about wrestling. Then he says money can’t make everything happy, you have to know what the hell you are doing. He said you can give him 10 million dollars and he would still have no idea on how to run a NHL team and that’s what it was like for WCW. The WCW people didn't know anything about the wrestling industry; Bischoff and others had no idea on how to run a wrestling company. WWF didn't have a health care plan and with his hurt neck is why he jumped over to WCW. Heenan wasn't under WCW contract; he was under Ted Turner’s contract. When they asked Heenan on his thoughts of WCW, then you heard a toilet flushing (Classic Heenan) after he said David Arquette was a class act and a great man all his earnings went to wrestlers that needed the money, but shouldn't have been WCW champ, The tag straps should have never been on Buff Bagwell’s Mom, Goldberg shouldn't have lost, that’s just some of the mistakes I could do on all day. Mark Madden replaced Heenan because WCW wanted a younger look. The guys laughed and said it wasn’t fair for Madden and WCW made a huge mistake on that move. Heenan agreed and said he had no hard feeling towards Madden and he is great at what ever he does he just wasn’t a wrestling guy and I was. WWE entertainment isn't what Heenan likes, he wants old school type wrestling, wrestlers look like the people who buy tickets they are no difference between the marks and today’s wrestlers in WWE, Vince will always find a way to succeed and is a great man. The Book is doing very, very well and will sign the book at IPW/NWA Florida, t- shirts and hats will be there to for you to buy. The book is in its third printing. Heenan did a few book signings, sold a ton of books during his book signings, claims to sell a lot because of his popularity, will have another book coming out, no release date yet. Heenan was in WWF when he was selected to all madden team, thought it was a joke and it came as a surprise because he never met Madden until after he was on the All Madden Team, but it turned out to be real, got a plaque after a few months and other items, Heenan’s name is amongst NFL legends with his name on the plaque, Heenan met madden in the Madden bus at Philadelphia while waiting for a car, the bus was a mess, Madden selected him because Madden thinks Heenan is off the wall and was a great entertainer, selected in 1988. The Brain tells a story how he got a pair of Joe Louis boxing trunks after Louis was a special ref for a WWF event but didn’t want to seem like a mark so never asked him for his autograph, his wife put them in a glass case and he joked that he has a pair of his underwear and there not even signed. Chuck said he would send him an autograph pair of his draws and Heenan laughed and said he looks forward to it. Heenan never realized how big Wrestle Mania 3 was going to be, thought Vince made the Wrestle Mania a carnival, after coming to the ring and seeing all the stars in the crowd Heenan thought Vince had a great idea, Heenan knew he was a part of history when he entered the ring for Wrestle Mania 3, Heenan and Andre were brought to the ring by decorated forklifts, Heenan was happy to be part of Wrestle Mania 3 and he knew he was a part of History. After the Show Bobby toasted and said here is to Wrestle Mania 2 and Vince said here is to Wrestle Mania 2002. Vince knew he had a great idea. Vince McMahon had idea for Bobby Heenan show, only lasted 4 weeks, because of a dispute of whether this was wrestling or a regular show because WWE had 2 hours of wrestling slotted for them and Vince said the show wasn’t wrestling and they said it was, with USA that ended the show, he said it was very fun to do, there was no audience go it was hard because you had no one laughing at the jokes, wrestling would benefit by segments like Bobby Heenan Show and The Piper’s Pit. As of now he is not interested in returning to WWE or TNA because of the schedule, doesn't want to be gone for long amounts of time. But will do one time deals. He goes on how the wrestling schedule for WWE is stressful. He said he is working the IPW show because he wants to have fun . Talks about his personal life and how his wife has breast cancer for 2nd time, Dave wishes his wife the best. And Heenan made a joke and said don’t feel sorry for me there are others go through a lot and haven’t even lived their lives. You should feel sorry for the kids I have lived my life. He says there was nothing better than his days working in the WWF, AWA was also a lot of fun, but the most fun he ever had was working primetime with Gorrilla Monsoon, working on Monday nights was Heenan’s therapy. Chuck said he remembers growing up and watching that with his grandfather. When asked about the fans he told the story when he was shot at in Chicago, the match he was managing ended and when he jumped on the apron, he heard gun shots, didn't even know because its always loud in Chicago, read about it the next day in a local paper, nobody died, Heenan returned in a tag match to Chicago, but refused to work there because he was still a little shaken up after the shooting. And he said you could never tell with wrestling fans. Heenan loves Hulk Hogan; Hogan wrote the forward in his book, Hulk got Heenan into the WWF because of when they worked in the AWA together. The feud between the 2 was orchestrated, Hogan is a once in a lifetime opportunity for pro wrestling, and he never saw anything like Hogan. Heenan liked Tony Schiavone when he started out, Tony was a company man, wouldn't tell Heenan anything, Schiavone never said anything to Heenan when he was let go by WCW, Tony didn't like the fans or wrestlers, doesn't care about the wrestling business, Schiavone wanted to be a baseball broadcaster. Tony called Heenan when Heenan was supposed to work for the XWF and asked for a job. Hennan said no and complained about him not even calling him when he found out about cancer. Heenan didn't like or trust him because he took care of him and invited to his house and family events, he even bought him sports coats because he couldn’t dress himself. When asked if he still invites him over to stuff Heenan said why I don’t need gifts from Walmart. Mideon The hosts welcome Mideon to the show and apologize for making him wait. He said he understood and said how he knew Heenan was great. Mideon was in WWE for 7 years, but only wrestled 2 matches as naked Mideon yet it was what most people remembered and what fans mostly emailed Koco Sports to ask him about. The naked angle started as a backstage joke, but it ended up being his character, it started in Montreal because Kurt Angle always hung around naked backstage. Dave asked did any one say anything to him. And Mideon said Wrestlers didn't care about angles nakedness, nobody confronted him about it. He wanted to beat Kurt Angle in a nakedness contest, and Mideon was just happy to be in the WWE no matter what gimmick he was giving, the crowd went crazy when gimmick debuted. He said he has a free spirit attitude so being naked really didn’t bother him. He had no hard feelings about not being resigned by the WWE, Jim Ross informed him about not being resigned, was burnt out after 7 years in the WWE, still remains in contact with WWE talent, writers couldn't find role for Mideon in the WWE, knew his release was coming. Dave joked that the WWE writers must get some great Christmas Gifts and cut people in line at dinnertime. He said it depends on who it is. He said they can cut him in line but would have to move for The Undertaker and Stone Cold. He toured overseas with a lot of wrestlers before going to WCW, Mideon was rooming with Johnny Ace, they didn't have a special permit to drive and they went to the store anyway, they turned into oncoming traffic because the roads were the opposite way and hit a car, they backed up instead of staying in exact spot which was illegal and went to a crummy jail, Him and another couple of wrestlers asked how they can get out. And the cop looked and counted how many cops were present and said it would cost him $500 so the wrestlers paid $500 to free him from jail and they went back to the states, never heard about it again. Everyone joked about how much a murder and other crimes would cost there. Mideon will be wrestling for IPW this weekend and thinks it will be a great show he puts over all the talent and thinks Corino is a great wrestler and it’s wrong he isn’t wrestling for WWE or TNA. Jimmy Del Ray and Steve Keirn trained him; he said it was a great experience. Then they ran out of time and said they would continue the conversation on the 30th at Koco Sport’s 4 hour remote from the IPW and NWA Florida Show.

Koco Sports - football, baseball, basketball & the balls to tell it like it is! LS from http://www.BrockSolid.com sent this in http://www.zentertainment.com/article.php?sid=6344 "Spider-Man 3: Zentertainment has received an interesting rumour about the baddies in a potential third Spidey flick: "One idea being tossed around is to feature Venom and Carnage as the main villains. Marvel has petitioned Sam Raimi to have these characters as the main villains instead of secondary characters in an effort to avoid the horrible mistake made by Warner Bros. in the megaflop, Batman & Robin, when Bane was made into a retarded henchman. Casting suggestions have also been thrown out inlcuding Vin Diesel, and The Rock for Eddie Brock and Sam Rockwell and Christian Bale for Cletus Kassady". Jimmy Van sent this in FIW Debut Show Results with Jim Duggan and Jim Neidhart in Concord, Ontario November 27, 2002 The Paradise Convention Centre Concord, Ontario FIW made its debut on Wednesday night, November 27 in front of a lively crowd at the Paradise Convention Centre in northwestern Toronto! TJ Harley vs. "Gnarly Hippy" Floyd Osbourne The young Osbourne looked to make a name for himself against the wily TJ Harley, and he put up a good showing against his seasoned opponent. Ultimately experience prevailed, and Harley was the victor. Tracy Brooks was next to enter the ring, accompanied by Marco Malaquias and his tag partner Ruffy Silverstein. Tracy has some surprising (not to mention controversial) information. She claimed that she represented Dane Jarris and the Impact Wrestling Federation. She accused Jimmy Van and Full Impact Wrestling of brand infringement, alleging that the company had stolen its brand from Jarris' IWF. Tracy mentioned Jarris' past partnership with Jimmy Van in the XWC, and asked how convenient it is that Jimmy Van went on to launch Full Impact Wrestling after working with the guy behind the Impact Wrestling Federation. Tracy next introduced Marco Malaquias and said that he was the last IWF Champion before the closure of the company. She then said that in order to ensure that FIW doesn't continue to supposedly ripoff the IWF, Malaquias should be recognized once again as the IWF Champion. The Notorious TID then appeared, along with Magnus. Tracy asked why TID was out there since her business was none of his, but he said his business is whatever he chooses to make it. He told Tracy that nobody knows what the IWF is. He also said that the only reason Dane Jarris worked with Jimmy Van in the XWC was that he was unemployed and fortunately offered a job. TID said that he'd just been informed by management that Marco Malaquias, one of the individuals selected for the 10-man gauntlet match via random lottery, needed a challenge worthy of an "IWF Champion". Therefore regardless of whatever number he selected in the gauntlet, he would now be entrant #1, while his partner Ruffy Silverstein would now be entrant #2. And due to Tracy's controversial allegations and questionable demeanor, her FIW roster status had been revoked and she had no right to be present. TID then hoisted Tracy over his shoulder and carried her out of the building while Magnus kept Marco and Ruffy at bay. Sinn vs. "Tornado" Mark Lucci Two of Ontario's best were next to compete. Sinn immediately had the crowd on him with a unique "Shave your pants!" chant. Both men were impressive, but in the end it was Lucci's night as he walked away with the win. JT Playa, who was scheduled to compete in the 10-man gauntlet, hit the ring for a promo in his own interesting fashion. He talked about how he was the greatest. He slammed Andre the Giant. He beat the Legion of Doom in a handicap match. He went to Japan and beat the Funks, Abdullah the Butcher and Mr. Pogo. Playa was promptly interrupted by The Notorious TID. TID took the mic from Playa, Playa swiped it back, and TID responded by beating Playa with his Singapore cane in and around the ringside area. "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan vs. "The Natural" Bobby Rude Rude was coming off a successful trip out east, as well as a recent appearance on WWE Velocity. Duggan came out to an enthusiastic response and didn't disappoint. During the match, JT Playa appeared through another exit, with The Notorious TID right behind him. Playa screamed and scurried while TID gingerly followed him, beating him at will with his Singapore cane. Playa managed to find another exit, and TID followed. Bobby Rude gave "Hacksaw" all that he could handle, but the veteran came out on top with his patented running clothesline. During intermission, The Notorious TID came out with a beaten JT Playa in a grocery cart. Playa had a box over his head, and as TID wheeled him to ringside in the cart, he beat him randomly on the head. TID then got a running start and sent the cart (and JT) into one of the ring posts. Playa spilled out of the cart, and tried to crawl and stumble to the nearest exit with TID right behind him kicking him. Reggie Marley and Toronto's own JQ Publik (known collectively as The Ebony Express) hit the ring. Marley had been selected via random lottery to participate in the 10-man gauntlet match. Marley commented on how great it was to be back in the GTA. Publik then took the mic and shared Marley's sentiments. Publik talked about the long history of The Ebony Express, and said he was proud that FIW will finally recognize the team via a berth in the gauntlet match. Publik then shocked the crowd by saying, "It's just too bad... they picked the wrong guy." Publik attacked his partner, grabbed the steel chair that ring announcer Arun Chatterjee had been sitting in, and beat Marley with it mercilessly. Publik then suggested that being the honorable tag team partner he is, he'll make sure that The Ebony Express is still represented in the gauntlet despite the fact that Marley would likely no longer be able to compete in the match. Fatal Four Way Match (with Tag Rules) Chris Chambers vs. The Hacker vs. Derek Wylde vs. Cody Steele The Hacker entered the ring holding a plastic bag. He ridiculed the people in attendance and commented on their apparent odor, after which he pulled out a bar of soap and suggested that the people say the word "soap" with him in hopes that they'll remember it. Hacker then glanced at Chambers (who had previously been introduced) and threw the soap to him, suggesting he could use it as well. Hacker next pulled out a tube of toothpaste, but before he had the chance to explain its usage, "Danger Boy" Derek Wylde's music hit and he came out. Hacker wound back for a bunch, but then stopped and realized that he was holding the toothpaste. He then put some toothpaste on a tooth brush and tried to give it to Wylde, but Wylde responded with a flurry of punches. Cody Steele then came out to join the frey, and the match was one. During the bout, Angel appeared carrying a clipboard, and was taking notes, apparently scouting the four wrestlers in search of a new protege. The match spilled to the floor, and The Hacker approached Angel, trying to charm her. She responded by hitting him with her clipboard. This angered Hacker, who grabbed his keyboard and tried to strike her with it. Chris Chambers got into the action, and Hacker ended up inadvertently hitting himself with the keyboard after it rebounded off the bottom rope. This match was fast paced and loaded with high risk moves as you'd expect from these four. In the closing moments, The Hacker dropped Chris Chambers with his finisher and opted to celebrate before making a cover. Meanwhile, Derek Wylde covered Cody Steele. The referee started the count for Wylde just as Hacker covered Chambers. The referee registered the three count, Hacker raised his arms in victory, but in reality it was Derek Wylde who had scored the win. The Hacker questioned the official's decision, but Wylde's three count stood. 10-Man Gauntlet Match for the FIW Championship The rules for this match were as follows: - 10 participants were selected via a random lottery draw - There were no DQs, no count outs, and falls count anywhere - Participants #1 and #2 would start the match. When a winner was determined, participant #3 would enter to wrestle the previous winner. The winner of that match would then take on participant #4, and so on until one man remained, and he would be crowned the new FIW Champion. Ring announcer Arun Chatterjee first introduced special guest ring announcer for the match, Angel. Introduced next was the special outside enforcing referee, Magnus. Angel then introduced participant #1, Marco Malaquias. Marco brought Tracy Brooks out with him, and announced that she was now his new manager, therefore she has the right to be at ringside with him. Marco also reiterated that he is the IWF Champion. Participant #2 was Ruffy Silverstein. Initially he and Marco didn't want to compete against each other, then decided to stick by the rules. But Marco eventually chose the FIW Title over his partnership, turned on Ruffy, and subsequently defeated him. Participant #3 was The Custom Made Man, who was accompanied by Flesh. Marco had a difficult time with Custom, and especially with Flesh, who on more than one occasion prevented Marco from delivering high risk offense to Custom on the floor by standing in front of him. Marco managed to secure the pin on Custom but post-match, Flesh came in and laid Marco out, making him easy picking for... Participant #4, Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart. Neidhart threw the groggy Marco around with ease while Tracy Brooks went crazy on the floor complaining about Flesh's interference. Suddenly, Ruffy Silverstein ran back in and brought the crowd to its feet by performing the Hart Attack clothesline on Marco with Jim Neidhart. Neidhart subsequently covered and pinned Marco. Tracy was now going ballistic about the interference, and this got the attention of not only Magnus and appointed official Robb Myers, but also of Neidhart. The distraction allowed Participant #5, JQ Publik (subbing for the now injured Reggie Marley) to sneak in from behind, nail Neidhart in the back with a chair, and roll him up for the pin (with the aid of a handful of tights). Participant #6 was Billy Boogie, accompanied by Mari. Boogie got Publik down, then signaled for the table. He went to the floor to set one up, but was cut off by Publik, who proceeded to lay Boogie on the table. Publik went to the top apparently ready to emulate Boogie's TTD finisher, but Jim Neidhart ran out and tripped Publik off the top. Neidhart then placed Publik on the table and motioned for Boogie to go up top. Boogie obliged, and the crowd erupted as he hit his TTD elbow onto JQ through the table on the floor. Boogie subsequently pinned JQ. Participant #7 was Tyson Dux, who was accompanied by Otto Bahn. Billy was feeling the effects of the TTD himself, and Dux took full advantage. Billy attempted a comeback, but Dux avoided his bionic elbow, rolled him up, and secured the pin. Participant #8 was Primo Scardino. He ran in a house of fire, dropping Dux with a series of stick and move offense. One of Scardino's dropkicks missed the mark however and dropped referee Robb Myers. Magnus then came in to take Myers' place. Scardino went up the ropes and tried for a high crossbody, but Dux dove out of the way and Scardino flew at Magnus, who caught him. Magnus tossed Scardino aside, Dux executed a Mahistral Cradle pin, and Magnus registered the count. Participant #9 (who turned out to be the final participant in the match due to JT Playa's injuries suffered at the hands of The Notorious TID) was "Showtime" Eric Young. Young and Dux dazzled the live crowd with a near 10-minute display. During the match, JT Playa again appeared, with his head wrapped in bandages. He stumbled and made his way to the ring, and tried to enter (apparently not wanting to lose his spot). Magnus prevented him from entering, after which The Notorious TID hit the scene and sent Playa scurrying one more time with his Singapore cane. Thanks to the distraction of Otto Bahn, Dux pinned Young to win the fall, the match, and the Full Impact Wrestling Championship. FIW's next show is this Sunday afternoon, December 1 in Burlington, Ontario (bell time 2PM).
