Things are getting serious in the Urban Wrestling Federation!!quote:- The Urban Wrestling Federation has just signed deals with EC Negro and KC Blade, a tag team known as the Dirty Rotten Scoundrelz. The two have worked for various Northeastern independent promotions and they are now booked for the promotion's debut PPV, which will be taping in New York City this June. quote:- The Urban Wrestling Federation has added Grandmaster Melle Mel, who is a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, to their PPV taping scheduled in June. Mel trained as a wrestler several years ago and will be getting physically involved. This is gonna break buyrate records and shatter our view of wrestling as we know it.

Guess who signed even more 'talent'!quote:- The following have been signed for the Urban Wrestling Federation's June PPV… Better than Wrestlemania already? You decide! In all seriousness at least they are focusing on signing wrestlers now that all the rappers who wont be participating in the matches have been signed and locked in for months.

Some people balk at working for a new company and spending two months with their face on the poster only for them to jump at the last minute is a bitch. Best to hire the workers two weeks from the first show.

Okay, so this isn’t exactly wrestling related… Unless I make a joke of it! Ahem... Osama Bin Laden was watching Extreme Rules. "John Cena... AGAIN??? gently caress this world, bring on the virgins. Hmmmph, bleh!" The dumbest man in the IWC

I'm pretty sure I've never seen the Grim Reefer wrestle, or even seen a photo of him, but he's one of those indie names I've seen listed on DVDs or shows and instantly hated. Is it wrong of me to assume someone is a prick based on their name alone? (I feel the same way about The Juggulator, although I think I might have seen him in a deathmatch or two a while back)

That name is pretty ridiculous. It's kinda funny for a split second and then you realize its a grown man that has been using it for years. It was probably hilarious when he first started using it in junior high. Mr. Carlisle fucked around with this message at May 2, 2011 around 15:24 |

But it seems pretty obvious that he was given the information as part of a congratulatory call from Obama on Fast Five’s opening weekend, currently the second greatest reason to be an American today.

The only way I could see someone using the name Grim Reefer being entertaining is if they were doing a way over-the-top rasta parody of the Undertaker, and even then it'd only be funny once in a while. I'm guessing he's painfully generic and takes himself very seriously though.

I'm sort of ashamed I know most of these wrestlers. Here's Grim Reefer: His finishers are the Chronic Crossface and the Swanton Bong. He's basically the most "indy-as-gently caress" wrestler I've ever seen who wasn't Arik Cannon.

I guess the name Grim Reefer is appropriate, cause he looks like the dumb stoner friend everyone had in high school. Y'know, that guy you'd only hang out with because he'd always let you borrow his car at 2 in the morning to go get McDonalds. Also, I will be very disappointed if the UWF doesn't have championship belts that are at least as garish looking as Cena's US spinner title.

Steele was really loving good in Ed Wood, it's the only time where I've seen a wrestler in a film and haven't felt embarrassed for them. Not that it should diminish Steele's effort because of his awful competition, if you can do a film with Depp and Bill Murray and hold your own that's a pretty big compliment to your abilities even as a supporting cast member, especially when you aren't strictly an actor by trade. I've never really seen a Rock film, just bits and pieces but I don't know it doesn't seem as impressive (although incomparable to other wrestler's in acting parts in terms of quality) to me because he still seems like himself in whatever role he's in, like a Schwartzaneggar or Segal, even if they're in a comedy for example, it still seems like the same character you've seen in every other film, but in a different light. Steele fit the tone of the film absolutely perfectly and it was like seeing a new side of him. I'm probably incredibly biased because of my love for both the film, Murray and Depp but I think Steele deserves a lot of praise for his work in that film. Edit: This probably sounds absurd but that new WWE film Orton's in I could see him doing well in, Orton would be a far from versatile actor but it sounds like the role they cast him in is an absolute perfect fit for him. The impression I get is he's supposed to be a fairly wooden, stern and slightly menacingly detached as a character, which is really just very a toned down version of what he does in WWE. From this I'm sure you can more or less see the most I hope from a wrestler acting is for them just to not stand out like a sore thumb.

Steele was great in Ed Wood. When I watched the movie I didn't even realize it was an actual wrestler, just some muscular dude who looked like Steele, until I actually looked it up.
