Hi Scott,
I've noticed the tryout reviews lately and was wondering if I could "audition" of sorts for Monday Nitro recapper. Here's an e-mail copy and a Word file if you think it's decent enough.

Scott,
This coming wednesday my new website, PWringside.com is opening up. I know you have you blog and you have taken to writing a couple books. However, people really enjoy reading what you have to say about wrestling.
This is me asking you to join my team and to write for PWringside.com
You can do as little as 1 PPV a month.
You can do as much as every wrestling show on Cable.
Hell you can plug your blog.. you can do a movie review..
I really don't care... I would love to see you write for us.
No, I’m quite happy doing what I’m doing now, but good luck with your website.

~ Raw comes on the air with Michael Cole meeting up with Vince McMahon who's conversing with the Stooges. Cole asks Vince about rumors of a major announcement on wwf.com when Gerald Brisco mentions a tournament. Vince explains a tag team elimination tournament will indeed be held tonight to determine the new #1 contendors The winners of each match will meet in a battle royal to see who faces the Dudleys at Wrestlemania. Pat Patterson then begs Vince to tell them about "the big one" but Vince isn't ready to reveal his surprise just yet; all he says is this match if it is signed will rock the WWF down to its very foundation. Sounds intriguing. Cole mentions the WWF's appearence on Saturday Night Live this past weekend and Vince decides to use its opening to lead into the credits. Read the rest of this entry »

Found this on another board, thought it might be of interest to some folks:
http://pojoslam.blogspot.com/2010/08/interview-with-jameson-part-1.html
Now if only we could figure out who the second Ultimate Warrior was...
You mean Jameson wasn’t the guy judging Last Comic Standing? You know, Greg Girardo?

Hey Scott,
Quick musical question for you and your readers. I've been racking my brain trying to find the name of an instrumental piece. It's the kind of sappy easy listening music that you put in a tribute montage to enhance the sentimentalism. I recall the WWF using it back in the late 80's / early 90's... perhaps in connection with Wrestlemania. I seem to remember it being used during an Andre the Giant tribute. But now I can't find any video with the same music anywhere. To go into a bit more detail... it's slow and mostly piano... I vaguely recall the main melody being played by a horn, somewhat reminding me of Chuck Mangione's "Feels So Good", but I might be mis-remembering that aspect.
Plus I'm fairly certain that I've heard it elsewhere in other contexts besides the WWF. Hope you guys can help.
I can’t help, but maybe someone else can.
