Hello loyal WMW Fans, it's me Jane Coughlin working round the clock to keep you up to date on the latest happenings in WMW.  I know I've been gone for awhile, but that partly due to a) me having to learn how Mixed Martial Arts matches work so I could be one of the judges in the Shoot Title match at Ides of March (and trust me, folks, that match alone is worth the price of the pay per view!) and b) I was doing research and preparing for the next round of news as WMW prepares to head into high gear.

On that note, here's our first major update.  As you know, with the growing threat of climate change and the increasing popularity of 'going green' and the resulting pressure that puts on businesses, WMW has decided to contribute positively in this effort by reducing paper as much as possible for starters.  This means we have shifted a lot of our corporate office filings from paper to electronic.  We've brought in the IT experts, built our servers, backed everything up and backed it up again for good measure and we're close to being online!  This has led to a delay in certain updates that we used to bring to you, such as contracts.

Well, Wayne Inkster and the guys in the Talent Department have been hard at work tying up those loose ends and I'm thrilled to have these confirmed Contract signings to announce for you!  Nearly every WMW wrestler has signed new contracts, so to prevent this list from being too long and ungainly, I'll be highlighting a few of the bigger contract signings.  Full Contract Details on each wrestler should hopefully be up and available soon, and fans can always email in to find out where their favorite wrestler stands at jane@wrestlingmidwest.com.

AWS Man – Has opted for a per appearance contract at the moment, citing that constant "Freakin' nagging" about contract lengths interrupts his porn watching sessions.

Druscilla – Has just today signed a 3 Month contract, ensuring that her appearance at Ides of March was not a one time thing and that the WMW will see her at least through June 17th, 2010.

Father Nathan – Signed a 6 Month deal back in January ensuring that the Conscience of WMW will be carrying his cross until at least July 30th, 2010.

Hecate – Is currently still under her contract from last year which will carry her through the entire year of 2010, as her contract does not expire until December 31st, 2010.

Jade – Signed a 1 year deal back on Valentine's Day ensuring that WMW's Jade Dragon will be around until February, 2011.

Jordan Keyser – Finished talks with WMW Management and signed an official WMW contract for 3 months, locking him up until June 17th, 2010.

Kronin – Just finished talks with WMW Management today and signed a 1 year deal that will keep him here until March 17th, 2011, and ensures that WMW still considers the Master of Rock and Shock one of their franchise players.

Valora – The name everyone has likely been wondering about has been going back and forth with WMW Management ever since her skyrocketing stock continued to rise.  But WMW fans have nothing to fear at the moment as Valora is still locked up and safe under contract until January 2011, having been signed to a 1 Year deal earlier this year.

I spoke with Wayne Inkster who was very pleased by the flurry of signings, especially his department's ability to retain top talent that has already proven itself and acquiring new talent that could be the superstars of tomorrow.  Talks are still ongoing with some WMW wrestlers and we will keep you up to date on the new signings as they happen and become official.

Until then, this is Jane Coughlin, stay tuned for more updates from WMW News!

So yeah, here's me.  On the raggedity edge once again.  Been a little busy for this fuckin web shit lately, it's tough kicking as much ass as I do, it tends to be somewhat time consuming.  But with so much happening, and a few people inserting their views on things… figured there was a moment or two for words between ass kickings.  On that note, he we go:

First to Stephen Greer.  You gotta tell me man since I've never fucked up and dropped the ball as epically as you have, just how did it feel when I pinned you?  Yeah, you gave me a nice cozy room in the med center for a night or two, but I was laughing all the way there, just remembering the look on your face when I pinned you.  Priceless.

Johnny Lightning.  Count yourself lucky, bitch.  Next time you step into a ring with me, I just might slit your fucking throat.  Little kids like you should stay the fuck out of the ring while the adults are working.  You're a fucking disgrace to the art, to the business, to the whole fucking thing.

Angus…  Oh where to start with this ignorant little fuck.  Firstly, I'm Mexican not Cuban, not Puerto Rican, not any of that.  Mexican.  You know, the same people inbred, racist, redneck fucks like you fucked over to get Texas and half of the modern day U.S. from.  Now we've moved north and basically taken the land back, and you all pay for it.  Payback's a bitch, ain't it?  Yeah, Chance Wolfington is a worthless piece of shit, I'll give you that.  But take Dane's Dick out of your mouth long enough to listen very carefully to what I'm about to say.  The Hardcore Icons… we ain't bitching.  We're acting.  We ran your little bitches, Team in Danger out of the Missouri Valley Wrestling show tonight, I demolished Dane's limo,   I very nearly took Cobra's head off with my lead pipe.  All in all, Team in Danger was runnin' for their fuckin' lives and Umbrage and I were the ones sending them running.  See, the Corporate noise… that ain't our kinda thing.  We're gonna be showing up, whenever we want, wherever we want, until we get our belts back and leave Team in Danger in a pool of their blood.

Sault St. Marie:  Noticed your little epic fail.  Way to piss the real boss off, though I gotta say, watching you stand out in the cold getting your old, rich white ass chewed out by Johnson was fuckin' gold.  Johnson knows how to make WMW work.  He handles the corporate shit, signs our checks and leaves the wrestling to the fucking wrestlers.  Take notes, bitch.

Dan Pollaski: Saw your little blog too.  You're dead on about Umbrage, he could walk into Defiance by himself, beat the piss out of all of those inbred hicks, wannabes and fuckin' disgraces to the business that call themselves wrestlers and get our belts.  But when he does that, he won't be doin' it alone.  I'll be there with him, which means Defiance is doubly fucked.  Oh and your welcome, by the way.  You have asked, I am delivering, and this is just the start.  I'll burn down the house that is Defiance.

Eric Dane: Isn't this cute, a little evil genius wannabe, Only problem is he's neither a genius nor evil.  He's a fucking retard.  He just went and picked a fight with a fed ranked 5th overall out of all the 50 some feds that EWTorch keeps an eye on.  WMW was the only fed on that list that is a member of the WWA, by the way.  No other fed, including Defiance, made the top 15 power rankings.  How's that taste, Eric?  Bitter?  Hard to choke down?  Cause I know it's pretty fuckin' tasty from where I'm sitting.  Tell ya what, go ahead and grow a pair of balls and hand over the belts to us and Umbrage and I might just leave your little fucking joke of a fed up and running, cause if you don't well then Umbrage and I will do what he's been doing for years and what I'm doing right now, beat down every mother fucker you send against us until it's just you, me, and Umbrage in a room, and I've run that scenario through my head a thousand different ways and none of them end good for you.

Lee Best: Suck a dick.  You're awfully eager to sign the death warrants of Scottywood-if-he-could and whoever the fuck his worthless shit of a partner is.  This is real simple.  You pay AWS Man and Myself a shit ton of money and we humiliate Scotty and his boy in front of your crowd, Oh and we'll probably raise your ratings a bit too since AWS Man and I are both worth more then your entire fucking roster put together.  So, least you got that going for you.  Better then nothing, I suppose.

That's about it for the moment.  If I got something else to say, rest assured, I'll be back, til then back to my two favorite things in the world, beating the shit out of people and having a drink at my favorite bar

There are times in any professional sport, that define a team, a player, moments that echo in history forever, to the point that even years later, people look on with pride and say "I was there."  These moments are too few and too far in between.  Moments when everything is riding on one moment.  When a game, a series, a season, a career comes down to one moment.  For those tens of thousands that sold out and packed into WMW Arena, and those who watched it on TV, they saw one of those moments.

Valora Salinas is known for many things.  Since day one, she has said she was a future legend.  She said she would be the best.  She said her name would be recorded in the annals of Wrestling history, mentioned with the greats and the legends of our business.  But unlike most newcomers, she acknowledged those who came before her, gave respect to the older generation that paved the way for her.  Then she dared herself to do more then they had.  She is WMW's version of Joe Namath.  She spoke out against Kronin, saying he had dropped the ball and failed WMW.  She butted heads with Sault St. Marie over those comments, and told him and everyone that if she had a chance, she'd bring wins to the WMW.  She and her tag team partner, Umbrage, tore through Jade and Hecate as well as Kronin and Ryven to earn their shot at history.  Valora wasted no time talking about the match, boldly stepping out from the crowd to answer Pollaski's and my call for a hero, a leader, someone to lead WWA against Defiance and the threat they represented by them.  She went up to the best team Defiance said.  A team no one said they could beat and said.  "I beat you, and I'll go ahead and be the heroine and leader that WWA needs while I'm at it."

That Damn Awesome! is often criticized for their words, their actions.  But after this Thursday night, the stable truly lived up to it's name thanks to two Gladiators.  Two Warriors.  Two Icons.  They walked out onto the big stage, in the biggest clutch moment possible, and with a crowd of fervent WMW fans chanting "WMW! WMW! WMW!" They did the unthinkable.

They won.

In the span of three seconds, the entire scope of the World Wrestling Alliance changed, and a team thought nearly unbeatable fell.  Through a trial of blood and fire, the Hardcore Icons lived up to their name and one more time, David beat Goliath.  It was a night everyone associated with WMW, whether backstage, wrestler, or fan will forever be able to look back on with pride.  Like her or not, Valora did everything she said she was going to do and Umbrage's presence is clearly limiting Valora's only real glaring weakness, that being lack of experience.  Umbrage has been going on ever since they formed their team that he was taking the mantle of Valora's mentor.  Valora had been named Umbrage's chosen successor.  He claimed he would make her a Goddess, a legend in this business.  He too, seems to be delivering everything he promised.  Valora herself, has just shy of 2 years experience in professional wrestling, a big part of what has made her meteoric rise so amazing.  Umbrage looked at the fiery, passionate newcomer and in a moment right out of Doctor Frankenstein thought to himself, 'She's awesome now, but imagine what she will be if I add my experience to all that raw talent.'  And in true Motor City industrial spirit, he set about forging himself a Wrestling legend.

But victory comes with a price, and both of the Hardcore Icons paid dearly for their victory.  First, Stephen Greer grabbed a lead pipe and nearly crushed Valora's skull, Valora's trademark quickness literally saving her life.  Next, Valora followed in her mentor's footstep's a bit too close for Umbrage's comfort when Johnny Lightning trapped Valora between two beds of nails and hit a 450 splash on them, driving the nails on both beds deep into Valora's trapped body.  That would have been a match ended for both people but Valora, like Umbrage before her, got up and kept fighting, despite the blood pouring from all over her body.  Later in the match, Umbrage hit the Detroit Breakdown, driving Johnny Lightning through a burning table.  One has to wonder if there wasn't a degree of payback in that move for Lightning nearly impaling Umbrage's protege in a crude Iron Maiden.  At least twice in the match, Valora sacrificed her own body to help her team out.  Her running Shooting Star Press up and off the top of the ladder, with a chair pressed tight to chest, taking out Team Danger and her mentor Umbrage.  Another time, she hit her Aztec Moonsault on Greer with a barbed wire 2×4 clutched to her chest and pinned him right after, pressing her own body onto the barbed wire to drive it further into Greer's body as well.  Later Greer would take that same barbed wire 2×4 and break it in half as he nailed Valora in the midsection with it.  Through it all, Valora refused to quit, refused to lay down and die, she forced herself to get up and keep fighting and in the end, it was a basic move, it was going back to wrestling 101 that saved the damn and sent a shockwave through the Alliance when a stunned and very excited crowd watched Valora roll up Greer in an inside cradle, using his size and weight against him and held him 1….2…3.

Valora was not the only hero in this match, however.  Umbrage more then lived up to his reputation and showed he is not nearly as washed up as people would like to believe he is.   He fought a young lion in Johnny Lightning and taught the kid a few things.  He and Valora teamed up on that same Johnny Lightning, as Umbrage hit the Riot Act from the top rope and Valora hit the Aztec Moonsault from the top of the ladder, a move that would have brought them victory, had Stephen Greer not broken up the pin.  It was Umbrage who rushed to Valora's side and dropped Lightning with a boot to the head and properly removed the nails from her before Valora, blinded by pain and anger, ripped them from her flesh, making the wounds worse.  It was Umbrage who removed Johnny Lightning from the match, brawling with him backstage before finally putting him through a burning table with the Detroit Breakdown, leaving Valora battling with Greer for the soul of the Alliance, and the fate of the WWA Tag Team Championships.  It was Umbrage's veteran experience to known when his partner was hurt and needed a breather and thus knowing when to step up and take the heat off her.  It was Umbrage who nearly destroyed a Steel Chair over Stephen Greer's head, and most importantly, it was Umbrage who laid the foundation for this, when he questioned Stephen Greer's hardcore.  An insult that seemed to really get under the skin of Greer and his partner and allowed Valora and Umbrage to lure Team Danger into a Hardcore Match, which then set the stage for the epic match we saw last night, a match that showcased how much these two teams have already come to hate each other and which some in the Alliance whisper just might be the match of the year.  Valora may have a big spotlight for her individual accomplishments and the press she gets, but Umbrage is far from a silent partner, delivering on his promise to bring tag team gold to Valora.

But Victory, as I said, comes with a price.  Valora alone, stepped out and said she would be the Heroine the Alliance needed and at Graveyard Shift 110, she learned the price a Hero pays.  After the match, and the post match beat down Stephen Greer gave her, Valora was carried from the WMW Arena unconscious, only the third time she had to be carried out on a stretcher and only the second time she left unconscious.  I have a preliminary medical report.  Severe Concussion.  Traumatic injury and blood loss.  Numerous unspecified internal injuries.  Valora will not be competing at Graveyard Shift 111, that is known.  What is known is just how long she will be out injured.  When she recovers, she has new challenges for her.  Stolen belts to retrieve.  A Defiance team that will be out for her blood.  Eric Dane will recognize Valora and Umbrage as a threat, maybe even WMW as a threat.  After everything Valora put herself through for WMW, for the Alliance, for herself, for the fans….

Her work has only just started, and from here the road only gets harder.

Still, Valora has proven time and time again that she thrives under pressure, thrives in the clutch moment.  She is cut from the same cloth as a Derek Jeter, Drew Brees, or any one of the elite few professional athletes who go out there night in and night out and deliver greatness, deliver moments.  Deliver memories.  An entire generation of Clevelanders will be able to look back at Thursday, February 25th, 2010 and say with pride:  "I was there when Valora and Umbrage beat Team Danger for the WWA Tag Team titles.  I was there when WMW drew the line against Defiance."

I was there.  I witnessed history.

AND SHANK FANS NEVER FORGET!

For those fans who tuned into Graveyard Shift 109, you were treated to a weird ending to the show when Valora won her match, pinning both Ryven and Kronin, and then, bypassing her usual celebration, bolted out of the ring and to the back, through the backstage area and to the TDA locker room, only to emerge seconds later with AWS Man.  After an interesting, and somewhat comical exchange between the two, they both rushed out of the arena, leaving everyone wondering where they went.  Well, we now have word as to where they went.  This is the ending moments of a tag team title match on HOW's Turmoil:

Benny pours another for his broadcast partner as Mario pulls Scotty up to his feet and get a kick right between his legs as Mario drops to his knees.  It seems as Scotty is about to set up for the Game Misconduct, but we suddenly see a hooded person slide into the ring with a lead pipe in hand and as Cancer yells out and tries to enter the ring but is pulled off the apron by another hooded figure.

That's right.  Valora said before she left she was going to pull off an amazing feat and she did so.  She took part in two wrestling shows, in two different time zones on the same night!  I called WMW General Manager Sault St. Marie to get his reaction, but was unable to get in touch with him and staffers told me he was 'furious'.  As you fans may know Valora and Scottywood had had a very public war of words awhile back and Sault St. Marie ordered that it be ended and that WMW wrestlers focus on WMW, so it's not too hard to see why he'd be angry.  It seems Valora has started two different wars here, one with HOW and she has amped up her battles with Sault St. Marie.  and all of this happening while she is supposed to be preparing herself to face Team Danger at GS110 for the WWA Tag Team Titles!  Stay tuned to WMW News and tune into GS 110 to see all the fallout from this latest turn of events.

Alright WMW Fans, as promised, here is part 2 of the latest episode of Jane Says.  You'll remember last night that I put out a little bit of a call to arms for various WMW superstars to start making the Alliance take notice of us and to, as I said, punch big bully Defiance right in the nose.'  Well some WMW Superstars have stepped up on that front.  We have some big, big news here folks.  First off, a slight change to my schedule as I believe my topics tonight to be more important.  No time to waste, so let's get right into the news!

As many of you loyal WMWers know, Kronin was the first WMW superstar to ever compete in an interfed match when he went into Dream and competed in a caged hell match against a rep from every fed in the Alliance.  Sadly, Kronin lost that match, but this past weekend, WMW took part in it's second interfed match.  Saturday night in Las Vegas, the WWA held it's Tag Wars event and WMW was represented by Jade and Hecate.  They were matched up agains St.Louis # from Appalachian Wrestling.  Folks, not only did Jade and Hecate win that match, they completely dismantled them.  This match was never in doubt from the get go and Jade and Hecate ran ramshod over them.  This brings WMW up to a 1-1 in interfed Alliance battles.  Though their opponents were a couple of rookies, Jade and Hecate fought and fired on all cylinders and won a big, dominating victory in a very high profile event covered by media from all over the WWA.  Let's not forget this match happened 3 days after Graveyard Shift, where Jade and Hecate were in a very close, very hard fought battle with the Hardcore Icons as well.  Jade and Hecate continued what Kronin began showing that the WMW can compete – and win – against the other feds in the WWA.  Hopefully we will keep this going as the WWA tag team title come to WMW at Graveyard Shift 110, and either the Hardcore Icons or the team of Kronin and Ryven, still WMW Tag Team champs, by the way, will have a chance to bring home the WWA Tag Team titles in only WMW's third interfed event.  Best of luck to those two teams coming up at Graveyard Shift 109, and a big congratulations to Jade and Hecate for their big win Saturday Night in Sin City.

Now, as to the answering of my call for action.  I spent the day trying to get a hold of every WMW wrestler I could.  I reached Jade and Hecate in their hotel room in Vegas and both indicated to me that they planned to enter Tag Wars 2 and would not rule out more interfed involvement for them as well.  I also got a hold of Kronin who also indicated that he had plans for interfed involvement and hinted that he too was getting tired of WMW being overlooked and written off.  I got a hold of Father Nathan as well who indicated indicated supreme disappointment with the the moral quality of Defiance's programming and even went so far as to say he considered them a bigger threat then the Daughters of Darkness and would put his issues with the DoD on hold to tend to Defiance.  I was unable to get a hold of Druscilla who is has returned to England and is not taking calls at the moment.  But I was able to get a hold of Valora who reiterated her frustration at being kept out of the interfed struggles and indicated to me that if Sault St. Marie didn't let her into thing officially she would have to "Take matters into her own hands."  I don't know about you fans out there, but Valora taking matters into her own hands scares the crap out of me.  I tried calling a whole host of other WMW stars but was unable to contact them, hopefully I'll be able to touch base with them and update things as they go along.  I will also keep an eye out, to the best of my ability, to update you all as to what actions follow up these verbal commitments.

As the first update, I come to Graveyard Shift 109, this Thursday Night.  Hardcore Icons, Valora and Umbrage squaring off against the WMW Tag Team Champs, Ryven and Kronin.  Winner of this match goes on to Graveyard Shift 110 and challenges Team Danger from Defiance for the WWA Tag Team Titles.  This is the third time these two teams, Hardcore Icons and Ryven/Kronin have faced each other.  The series between them is tied 1-1.  There are rumors that there might be some sort of stipulation to this match as well, something designed to force both teams to prove, once and for all, who the better team is.  There are rivalries and feuds aplenty in this match as well.  Umbrage and Ryven.  Ryven has sworn to erase Umbrage's legacy and match it with his own.  Umbrage, meanwhile, has already chosen the successor to his legacy.  Valora, and in so doing, hopes to cement his legacy, by passing it on to the next generation to carry on.  On the other side, we have Kronin, the former Great Lakes Champion, forced to stand by in the penalty box and watch as Valora ripped the briefcase holding his Great Lakes Championship off the metal hooks to win the Frostbite Brawl match at Blizzard 2009.  Add in Valora's accusations that Kronin and AWS Man screwed over Jade when she held the belt to ensure that the GLC stayed a "good ol' boys club", and her biting criticisms of Kronin's performance at Caged Hell, and you have a rivalry that is heating up quick, heading into Ides of March where the two will face off for the GLC. 

Additionally, expect some fallout from Graveyard Shift 108 when Gras-Dag was screwed out of the title by not one but two men.  Jordan Keyser and Wone both got involved in the match.Despite that, Gras-Dawg almost overcame the adversity and won the match and the title, but Hecate has just a bit more experience in the ring and she finally claimed a victory, albeit a somewhat tainted one, over the brash young man from New Orleans.  The first bit of fallout came right after Graveyard Shift 108, when a very angry Gras-Dawg demanded a rematch for the Heartlands title, putting his own contract on the line to get said rematch.  This is a horrible idea, in my opinion.  Not because I don't think Gras-Dawg can beat Hecate.  He clearly showed that he CAN do it.  But because of the huge risk he is taking.  We have seen this contract on the lines cost WMW great talent in the past, and I sure hope it doesn't rob us of another great young talent in Gras-Dawg.  But either way, Gras-Dawg will be in the building.  Thursday night and considering both Wone and Jordan Keyser have matches that night..  I expect to see Gras-Dawg return the favor to those two.

We also have a returning WMW Star, Matrix making his return to the ring against the Analog Kid in what should prove to be an interesting match.  That about rounds out the preview of Graveyard Shift 109.  Stay Tuned to WMW News for more news updates as we get them!  Til then goodnight!

Hello and Welcome, WMW Fans to another Edition of Jane Says!  We have a lot to cover today.  On the agenda for this blog, we'll be looking to give you an update on WMW News, a quick review of Graveyard Shift 108 and a look ahead to Graveyard Shift 109.  We're also take an overview of how things are panning out and shaping up as we head into the Ides of March pay per view.

Starting off with WMW News, we're going to try something new here this week as we have just confirmed a hot rumor out of Chicago.  Rumors had been circulating that High Octane Wrestling had decided to drop their affiliation with the WWA.  I looked into this immediately as this was a potentially big announcement and I can report that according to HOW's website, the Chicago based wrestling federation has in fact, left the Alliance.  I tried to get in touch with HOW management to try and learn the reason for their departure but we have heard that this decision as a result of information revealed on High Octane Radio this past week, which then led Lee Best, fed head of HOW to make the decision to withdraw his fed from the WWA.  WMW News will try to stay on top of this as HOW is also a Midwest fed and of course, earlier in the year there was a very public feud between Great Lakes Champion Valora and one half of the HOW Tag Team Champions, Scottywood.  Stay tuned and we will try to get updates on this situation as it develops.

In other news, it has been confirmed from WMW Medical staff and Amariie's private doctors that her neck did indeed suffer a minor to moderate sprain.  She will be out for an undetermined length of time.  Amariie becomes the second WMW Star to be added to the Injured Reserve list this year, joining Jack Reynolds whose knee was seriously damaged by Amariie at Blizzard.

For my last bit of news, I… have my first special comment.  WMW has been in the WWA just over a month now.  So far we've been the quiet new kids on the block.  We've sat on the sidelines and watched the feds of the Alliance try to stand up to Defiance.  I have followed Defiance programming, as I'm sure many have.  I and others have seen the type of thugs Eric Dane and his miscreants have.  And…after reading the latest issue of Polla to the People, I find myself agreeing with Pollaski.  The WWA has been waiting for someone to stand up to Eric Dane and his band of Miscreants.  So… why not us?

No one can sit here and tell me Kronin doesn't have a score to settle with Joe Drago.  He is also in prime position to become one half of the WWA Tag Team champions if he and Ryven can defeat the Hardcore Icons and move on to Graveyard Shift 110, where they will face the WWA tag champs.  Or, option two, the Hardcore Icons, Valora and Umbrage move to that match, either way you have some of the very best talent WMW has to offer in a big time interfed match up for an interfed title.  Jade and Hecate are in the tag wars tournament and Pollaski even has them favored to beat their first round opponents.  It's time for WMW to get off the damn bench and show the WWA who the hell we are.  It's my personal belief that WMW has much better talent then Defiance, so why are we waiting?  Valora was frustrated this week that WMW management has been holding her back, I say, take the leash off.  Unleash Valora in all her fury upon the WWA.  Remember folks, Valora came from nowhere.  She walked in practically off the street, was almost unheard of and became the first WMW superstar to attract national media attention and EWTorch named her the female fighter of the year for 2009.  She came from nowhere and now stands astride the WMW like a colossus.  Some people all her overly arrogant for entering to a song entitled 'Invincible' but she has proven to be pretty damn close to that.  So let her out, let her teach the WWA to respect her as she has taught the WMW to respect her.  I believe Valora could be the person to end Cobra's stranglehold on the WWA World Title.  Let her out, let Kronin out.  When Jade and Hecate return from Vegas victorious, let them back out too.  With HOW leaving, there is going to be a huge void to fill.  So… let's have WMW step up and fill that damn void.

We have a simple choice.  We can let Defiance run everything and sit by, looking out our window and shaking our head at what we see, or we can walk up to big bully on the corner and punch him right in the nose.  I personally prefer number two, but then, like Jack Reynolds, I don't like jerks.  And Defiance is full of them.

And it's late here, the special comment taking longer then I thought to write.  Stay Tuned WMW fans, Part 2 of Jane Says will be coming soon.  

Welcome WMW fans to the latest edition of Jane Says!  In this edition we will take you through a review of Groundhog Slay, a look forward to Graveyard Shift 108, and a special video blog showcasing an interview between me and the WMW Heartlands Champion, Hecate as well as news from around the WMW!  Lots to get to so let’s get started.

First off, WMW’s Queen of Controversy struck again.  Valora had made the trip to Orlando this past Sunday and watched Kronin compete in Dream’s Caged Hell WWA match.  During the week, she was highly critical of Kronin, stating that Kronin wasn’t up to the needed level and that he had choked during the match and perhaps Sault St. Marie should have sent her instead.  Then during the Groundhog Slay pay per view itself, she arrived at WMW Arena and greeted with a summons to Sault St. Marie’s office.  She responded by knocking the Stagehand out with her lead pipe, and blowing off the summons.  I’ve been informed from the WMW Front Office that Valora has been fined for her assault on the stagehand, but regardless, It is becoming clear, to me at least, that Sault St. Marie will have to step up and take action against Valora.  He can’t sit by and let his authority be challenged, but the question is… what action to take against WMW’s Franchise player?

On the subject of Groundhog Slay 2010, it was an action packed show that delivered memorable events and surprises in just about every match.  Gras-Dawg, once again found a way to win, delivering a Voodoo Plunge to Jordan Keyser from the top rope to net himself a win over the executioner in a very close and hard fought match and earn himself a Heartlands title shot at Graveyard Shift 108.  Hecate defeated Damian Knight one more time but then…is anyone surprised?  In what did turn out to be a surprise, Jade and Amariie had a tough, epic confrontation but in the end, Jade was just a bit better as she knocked Amariie out with a Jade Kick while Amariie was in mid air, trying for a moonsault.  We have heard preliminary reports that Amariie was injured in that match, we will keep you informed of further developments as that story unfolds.

In the Ace Superior Title match, Father Nathan pulled off a huge win as he earned both his first victory over Druscilla and his first title as he walks out of Groundhog Slay the new Ace Superior Champion,  A big win for him and a  devastating loss for the Daughters of Darkness who are now reeling from 3 straight losses to Irish Catholic Priest.

In the tag team title match, Valora’s tag team woes continued as she once again failed to win the Tag Team Titles.  Her and Umbrage took it to Ryven and Kronin, but Kronin and Ryven were just a few steps  ahead and came out with the titles, Ryven claimed after the match that he and Kronin would hold the belts longer then Umbrage’s record setting reign.  Valora’s woes continue in the tag team division, which continues to be the only division that she can’t find success in.  Everyone has an Achilles heel and it seems the tag team division just might be Valora’s.

This brought us up to featured bout of the night, the All-In Challenge.  Nearly every superstar took part in this big time match, which had it’s own fair share of surprises.  The biggest of which had to be AWS Man being eliminated by none other then WMW Commentator Bill Hughes, after AWS Man brought him into the match and began pummeling on him for no reason whatsoever.  This might seem odd to most but then, they don’t call AWS Man (Also Known as Bill) the Insane One for nothing.  The big winner of the night was Kronin who went from number 7 all the way through, ending AWS Man’s previous dominance of the match.  This win earns Kronin a date with Valora at Ides of March in a Great Lakes Championship match.

Looking ahead to GS 108, WMW is looking to get the MTL 3 tournament started and we also have the highly anticipated Heartlands title match pitting the Champion, Hecate, who is getting nearer and nearer to breaking Jade’s record as longest reigning Heartlands champ, defends against the brash, cocky, and athletically talented Gras-Dawg.  Also, we already seem to have what should be the official card taking shape.  Matches booked so far for the show are:

Wone taking on Damian Knight

Mo’Bad taking on the Analog Kid StormRider

Gras-Dawg vs Hecate for the Heartlands Championship

Eric Dillenger and Jordan Keyser taking on a team to be announced

The Hardcore Icons vs Jade and Hecate

AWS Man (Also Known as Bill) and Adam Pyre vs Kronin and Ryven

So as you can see, an exciting card taking shape.  Now, for my weekly overview of the Ace Superior Division and there have been big shifts here.  We have gotten word that Druscilla is still in the division but may be taking some time off from in ring action.  Adam Pyre, and Ryven have also left the division.  Wone and Eric Dillenger have been moved up to the ASC division to replace the departing ones as Ryven moves into the Shoot division, the same division that Umbrage has also entered, meaning that in the Ace Superior Division, Father Nathan will have a whole host of new challengers awaiting him and neither one of the new entrants are known for taking prisoners.  Early predictions for Ides of March are Father Nathan vs Wone for the Ace Superior Championship.

Now for our brand new feature here.  A videoblog post, featuring an Interview I did earlier in the day with Hecate.  We covered a lot of topics and this just might become a regular feature here on Jane Says.  Without any further adieu, here we go:

Jane – And now fans, for an exciting first for me.  Our very first interview  segment on Jane Says.  My first guest, is none other then Hecate, the WMW Heartlands Champion

[Hecate walks in wearing her ring attire with a black and green leather duster over top, the Heartlands belt fastened around her waist.]

Hecate – Thanks for having me on the Show again Jane.

Jane – Anytime, Hecate.  Now, I have a lot of questions and would like to get into it.  First off, Father Nathan shocked the WMW world by defeating Druscilla to win the Ace Superior Title and also earn his third straight win over the Daughters of Darkness.  Put simply.  Have the Daughters of Darkness underestimated Father Nathan and is the DoD in trouble?

[Hecate shakes her head slowly.]

Hecate – Father Nathan declared war on the Daughters of Darkness, all to appease his own self worth. Things like that carrry costs, costs that yet to be paid. Father Nathan has gotten a few wins, the victory over Jade was a shocker, the victory over Druscilla….that is a different situation. I will just say that Father Nathan will have to paid the price for his actions soon enough.

Jane – I see.  Father Nathan has said he expected to pay a price for things as well, we will have to see what the future holds in store for him.  I am glad for his success though, being something of a fan of his.

[Hecate smiles slightly.]

Hecate – He has earned some success here, but he’s allowing the fans to dictate what he does, not his God or himself and that will get him into situations he doesn’t want to be in.

Jane – Now, onto my next question.  You are a technical wrestler.  Jade is primarily a martial artist.  Traditionally, these two types have had a noted rivalry in Pro-Wrestling.  Yet, in spite of this, you and Jade have teamed up.  What made you try this pairing and how do you overcome the difference in mindset and style?

[Hecate chuckles softly.]

Hecate – Well lets start with the second part of your question, the mindset is actually easy to overcome because neither of us have that sort of mindset. We both are students of the ancient ways and have been trained to never stop learning and improving. Because of that, Jade searched for someone to help her with the weaknesses in her game and I looked to add yet another level to my game. Jade was sent to me and we just hit it off, kinda hard to describe what happened. After working together awhile, we talked about our lack of success in the tag team divisions and decided to give it one more shot and see if we could make a go of it

Jane – and speaking of hitting it off, there have been a few teasing segments and rumors are flying about just how deep you two have gotten in your team.  What exactly is the status of your relationship with Jade?

[Hecate quirks an eyebrow and grins.]

Hecate – Now that would be telling, I will say we have become very good friends, suppose you could call use BFF’s. Where it goes from there, time will tell..Jade is still dealing with the situation between her and Scott Vyper.

Jane – She does seem to be upset about that situation, for sure.  One last question on you and Jade as a tag team before we move onto a few other topics.  You and Jade have been chosen to represent WMW in the WWA Tag Wars Tournament, and entered MTL 3.  Why do you think you and Jade were chosen when Ryven and Kronin weren’t and can they be stopped as the tag team champions?

[Hecate pauses for a moment and thinks.]

Hecate – I can’t say for certain why Sault St. Marie and WMW Management picked us over the Tag Champs, but if I have to guess I would say WMW is trying to get as many of the top WMW stars out there for exposure plus Sault St. Marie is expecting big draws from the expected Kronin and Valora matches and he wouldn’t risk his money makers.

Jane - That makes sense.  And the other part?  Can Ryven and Kronin be beaten as tag team champs?  Or are they just too perfect a team to stop at the moment?

[Hecate shakes her head.]

Hecate – Anyone or any team can be beated, Kronin and Ryven are both very good but just like Valora they are not unbeatable. It takes a smart game plan and focusing on uncovering their weaknesses inside the ring and exploiting them.

Jane – I see.  Now, onto this coming week.  You must defend your title for the second time in 2 weeks, this time against the undefeated newcomer from New Orleans, Gras-Dawg, who seems to be simply on fire since his debut in WMW.  Now, I have a few questions about him.  First off, Do you consider him a worthy contender for your title?  And are you intimidated by him?  Not necesarrily by the man himself but by what he brings to the ring, given his size, strength and athletic ability?

Hecate – Gras-Dawg, he’s been impressive so far here in the WMW but he’s only had three matches, It’s hard to really know how a person will do after only watching three matches. Is he a worthy contender for the Heartlands Title…Jane, how many times have we talked now? I take every contender exactly the same, as if they were worthy and the best out there, Gras-Dawg will be no different

[Hecate pauses and takes a sip of water before shaking her head again.]

Hecate – I’ve wrestled all over Japan, I’ve being a training partner for Kronin and got broken down and rebuilt in the Dungeon for just starters, I’m not intimidated by any opponent, I respect his skills and what he can do in the ring, but I don’t fear him or am intimidated by him.

[Hecate smiles and takes another sip of water before answering.]

Hecate – I’ll prepare for him like I do all my opponents, I will devise a way to break him down and go into the ring and do just that. He’s an impressive wrestler, but he’s still learning how to translate from a street fighter to a ring wrestler.

Jane – It should be a great match to see, that’s for sure.  Now, about the All-In Challenge and Groundhog Slay as a whole, what were your impressions?  How do you feel about how thinngs went down?

[Hecate lets out a short little laugh]

Hecate – Well upsetting Pyre’s plans were fun, payback’s a bitch. And choking Damian Knight out after her tried to trick me out of the HL title was surprisingly enjoyable. For the All-In match itself, it’s always a let down to not win your the match your in, but those types of matches are so chaotic by nature as long as you last some time in there you can consider it a victory, especially being one of the smaller participates. Overall I think WMW put out another solid show and look forward to topping it at Ides of March

Jane – I’m looking forward to Ides of March too.  That brings us to the end of the questions.  Any final remarks to add in?

[Hecate smiles and takes another sip of her water.]

Hecate – Thanks for having me on again, and I have to say that things will be getting very interesting in the Heartlands division fairly soon, I got approval from WMW management to start implementing some of my ideas in the near future.

And that was my video interview with Hecate, and also brings us to the end of this weeks blog post.  Tune in next week to get the inside scoop about news and happenings inside WMW!  Until then, I’m Jane Coughlin, WMW News, heading out.

Right, so I was down in Orlando last night, went to Dream's interfed. Got a few things to say.  First off the bat, I know why no one wanted my ass in that cell, because WMW would have actually WON the damn thing.  But no, we got Kronin, handpicked by Sault St. Marie and what does he do?  Chokes.  He was obviously the most talented man in that ring, and yet he found a way to screw the pooch.  Next time Sault, send me, unless of course, you mean for us to keep losing.

-Sigh- I swear I'm surrounded by fucking idiots.

I don't know maybe someone should book a tournament, series of one on one matches.  Maybe that will be more Kronin's speed.  He's great in singles matches, tends to drop the ball in multi-person matches.  To be fair, he came close to winning but then again, close only counts in Horseshoes and hand grenades.  I don't know, maybe AWS Man is right and he is more deserving of a shot at my belt then Kronin is.  Maybe I'll just tell Kronin to show me can come through in the clutch.  Cause right now…I'm sitting in a spot where I've seen you come through in the clutch but in every big time match we've had in 2010, and he's about to lose another couple of big matches come Groundhog Slay.

This brings us to the inevitable question.  "Well what would have happened had you gone, Valora?"  Well, I'll tell you what would have happened.  I woulda beat the shit out of 5 other people and someone would have gotten an Aztec moonsault.  Who knows, maybe I would gone outside the cell and delivered it outside to in on one of them, But one thing is for sure, WMW would have won had I been sent in.  Now yes, I know people will bitch and moan calling me a sore loser.  But I'm not.  I'm not saying WMW should have won, or anything like that.  I'm simply saying I think Sault St. Marie picked the wrong person for the job, and I'm an equal opportunity critic.  If I think my own fed fucked up somewhere, I'm gonna call them on it.

Now, let's see… what else has me pissed off as of late…  I bet people are expecting me to go on a rant about Adam challenging the damn groundhog to a match, but I'm not.  I said I expected a slain groundhog or a groundhog slaying someone for some truth to our name and Adam went and decided to deliver one of those things to me.  It's kind of sweet, in a crazy, psychotic sort of way.

Ah yes!  Let's talk about Sam Hershey 2.0 or Padre Nate as I've taken to calling him.  Padre Nate says that he's shocked, simply shocked and appalled to find such a corrupt, sinful environment here in Pro-Wrestling and has sworn to do something about it.  First off… why the fuck are you surprised?  This is Pro-Wrestling, not Mr. Rogers fucking neighborhood.  As for cleaning up our act… careful Padre.  That kinda talk got Sam Hershey sent out of here, crying like a little bitch as he left.  Piss off too many people and that will be your fate too.

Oh, another thing pushing my buttons, and this one goes out to the clusterfuck of monkeys that call themselves WMW Management.  How the fuck about some singles matches, huh?  I mean don't get me wrong, Umbrage and I are unbeatable as a team and he's a shitload of fun in the bar but a month straight of tag matches?  There's gotta be someone dumb/brave enough to get into the ring with me one on one.  You assholes should get to finding that person and setting it up so I can kick their ass.

Fuck's sake, there are times when I feel like I am or should be running things around this place…

Oh, and before any loudmouths in WMW tell me to put my money where my mouth is, Tune in to Groundhog Slay.  Umbrage and I will beat the golden boys of WMW, RyKro down like the whipping boys they really are.  They later on, I get to kick the shit out of Kronin in the All-In.   Unlike certain people in WMW and outside it, I back up my talk.  Speaking of which, I'm late to meet up with Umbrage for some training.  Back later.

Everyone's favorite Priestess and Oracle here, time again for another edition of my personal thoughts on WMW, The Heartlands Division and anything else I have an opinion on. I've gotten a number of e-mails from the fans asking some important questions, at least from the fan's point of view, so I will be getting to those as well.

Lets get started with one of the most popular questions I've received lately, my thoughts on the whole WMW-HOW bitchfest and why I didn't post my position on Valora's blog. Lets see, HOW is a global fed who's ratings were dropping as posted by their own management and they see little ole WMW picking on on that and decide attack WMW for it, cause controversy and shock or trash talk generates ratings which HOW needs. As for why I didn't comment, why should I, all commenting does it give more ratings to HOW and does HOW pay my paycheck? Hades no, and until they do,  I don't give a frak what HOW does or says, clear enough for you now?

Graveyard Shift 107 was a good night for us overall, Druscilla dismantled the Knights and it's obvious that Damian Knight will be all alone when he faces me at Groundhog Slay '10, bet he wishes he could take that challenge back now. Then in the main event, Kronin, Ryven, Jade and myself all joined up and put down TDA! in a huge eight man tag match that turned into a no disqualification and no count-out match and when all was said and done, I covered Adam Pyre for the three count. Looks like TDA! will have to step it up at GHS to get the momentum back on their side, since they fell short of claiming "The most dominant" stable in WMW title this week, I'll set out the cheese and crackers for them so they have something to go with their whine.

Speaking of Adam Pyre…hold up what's this…just so you know, I just got an e-mail from Samantha wanting to know what I'm doing while I'm writing this blog up, talk about wanting to know everything. It just so happens that I'm laying on my bed on my stomach typing this up on the laptop while watching 300 on the HD TV set up in my room, all the lights out and just some candles to make things easier to see. I so love spending my late nights like this, nice and cozy…but back to Adam Pyre, you and I have some unfinished business Adam, and sooner or later we will be settling that. I haven't forgotten what you did to me at Graveyard Shift 101, but I'm also told you were the one who found me and got help after someone else jumped me back stage, I'm still not convinced it wasn't some big act on your part but I'm willing to wait and see just how you behave.

Hey! Stop it! This is my blog, get your own if you want to give people your thought. Help! Help! I'm being attacked……..

Don't listen to her.  She was the one who wanted this in the first place.  Hey there WMW fans, it's the Shoot Champion Jade.  I know most of you are probably wondering what I'm doing here, well that's an easy question to tackle.  Hecate and I are having a…debate of sorts.  She is showcasing to me how great the best of the Greek Warriors, the Spartans were.  I'm trying to drive home the need for intelligence as well as fighting ability and thus am countering with a few choice Jet Li movies, and the fact that for all their supposed power, the Spartans lost to the nerds of the Greek world, the Athenians.  Brains over brawn!  I'm also waiting for 'Deadliest Warrior' the game to come out for download later this year so that my Shoalin monk can beat her Spartan's ass.  Here's to hoping that the game is better then the show's so called experts, who are really nothing more then poorly trained trash talkers.  Anyways, I suppose I should write something WMW related.  Since WMW has opened up these blogs, I've had tons of email asking if I'll be getting my own, if I don't, I'll just keep hijacking Hecate's.  The answer to that is… yes, I hope to have my own blog real soon.  I've also had a good deal of email asking me how I feel about the stipulations of my title match against Amariie.  I'm fine with them.  Within recent months, Amariie has had 3 or 4 title shots.  If she fails in this attempt, someone else should get a chance.  Also, as much of a friend as I am to Amariie, I have to say, I really feel the Shoot title has allowed me to get back to my roots and of course, Hecate and I train together a lot and she has shown me a few things as well.  All in all, I must say I do not like Amariie's chances at all.  She has begun to realize her mistakes, but not all of them.  I believe another lesson will be in order and school will be in session come Groundhog Slay.  After all, I took out the Great Lakes Champ with the Lightning Spiral this week in the tag team event.  (Bet most people had forgotten I knew that little trick, didn't you?)  Alright, looks like Hecate is about to get back on the bed, time for me to sign off!  Have fun !

Damnable woman, hijacking my blog. She's just upset cause I keep spanking her ass all the time. One moment while I see what she wrote in this thing. Ha! Shoalin monk beat my Spartan ass? Keep dreaming wench, I'll show you how we Spartans kick ass and I've yet to hear you complain about it. Of course she's ignoring the fact that the Spartan's had plenty of brains to go along with their Brawn and the Spartans came up with the original model for what would turn into the European Feudal system, although my Spartans governed it much better than the Europeans ever did. Want to know a secret, she hates that I'm better than she is at UFC 2009 Undisputed, she can't believe someone who isn't as big a video game nut as she is can be better than her at something, but we're slowing working our way through her video game collection and yes she kicks my butt at most games, but she's good at making me feel good afterwards. Don't give me that look, you know damn well it's true you little wench.

Speaking of little wenches, I got this memo here from Mischa Barnes of the WMW Web department telling me that WMW management wants me to give my opinions and views on the Heartlands Division specifically. Everyone wants to know why I haven't dropped the belt to move up to the higher divisions as everyone expected me to, some people think I am shooting to break Jade's record for longest Heartlands Title reign, or perhaps going after Kinski's reign of longest title holder in WMW period. Well those things are nice, but I have a different reason for not dropping the Heartland's Title and soon I'll share it with everyone, but not just yet. Hey don't give me those looks, you have to wait just along with everyone else. Jade's pouting cause she doesn't want to wait, told you she was a wench. Now the Heartlands Division has some new blood, Gras-Dawg, Jordan Keyser and The Analog Kid, all trying to make a name for themselves with Gras-Dawg and Keyser in a match at Groundhog Slay to see who is the next person to challenge me, after I put the final nail in Damian Knight's coffin. Do I have a preference on who wins or who I face? Both men are big, although Gras-Dawg seems to be slightly bigger but have very similar styles in the ring, so honestly no I don't care which of them wins, when they face me at Graveyard Shift 108, they will fall short and I'll still be the Heartlands Champion.

Now you really are being a wench on purpose, Jade is distracting me on purpose here, so I'm gonna close out this blog here and go deal with her. What was that? Oh she's fighting dirty now….Until next time…
