The story: The last show... Show #3 “The Boss Says” was rated the best show by our staff thus far out of the first four shows as far as lighting, shooting, and wrestling and cat fight segments go. Just when you think the lighting couldn’t get any darker we return with Show #4 “The Boss Gets It On” from the dingy Eagles Club in Lebanon, PA. Like we’ve been saying... only if we knew what value these tapes would have if shot and produced right on the date of origin.
However, we do get a bright side as we see the company debut two new female talents in Lacey and “Bad Ass Brandy”. Off this show are Nicole Bass, Ryan Shamrock, Ginger, Mimi, and Alison Snow aka Dana Dodson. As stated on the last show write up, the world lost Amy the round car to a car accident, as she passed away and was the company’s first official talent loss.
Heather the owner was in full charge as her counterpart was on the road with another wrestling company. There was an early rumor that the state or the authorities were poking around, as there was concern to the door money. As far as this writer is concerned there was no incident of any “legal or illegal” kind and the show went on as planned. So more controversy around the company, not sure if from the neighbors, or another wrestling company, the show still goes on.
With all the star power that appeared on the first three shows, and the lack of those “stars” and “regulars”, this show seemed to be on the level of a wrestling “house show” (a term referring to a routine wrestling show for a company to keep the talent working, and generating income, while not producing TV segments that would cost extra money in production fees. House shows in wrestling are used to practice and try ideas out, while giving the real “stars” time off from wrestling.) No Nicole Bass, no Ryan Shamrock, no Alison Snow (Dana Dodson), nor the local home grown talent in Ginger or Mimi, sure seems to be the making of the first DWOW house show, except we were not shooting for TV, because if we were the footage would look much better.
The new talent in Lacey and Brandy were really green (inexperienced), and really didn’t offer much in or out of the ring. They both (Lacey and Brandy) were okay at best in the looks department and both did not seem to have that certain “it” factor needed to succeed in entertainment. Oh yeah and they didn’t have a clue on wrestling, besides Brandy hitting a few body slams.
We would also like to address that wrestling is a very competitive business / sport, as people jockey for top spots in the company. From steroids, to drug use, to plastic surgery, and breast enhancements, some will go up and beyond to get to the top and to stay there. If you follow along the videos and shows of this company you will see different names used, different moves performed or duplicated, or even different outfits, all for the love of being on top and staying there. Devon normally would use that name, but quickly added Stone Cold to the front of her name trying to emulate to a point Steve Austin’s character, with her insatiable lust to be number one in the company. It seems Devon felt left out as Dana Dodson was given the Al Snow gimmick, as Sandy Beaches was given the Sandman gimmick. We guess she didn’t watch ECW too much, or at all for that fact. To be honest Devon would’ve been fine sticking with her own original name and gimmick, but always felt she needed more to stay on top it seems.
Security genius Mark Shaprio and his crew were on hand to keep the crowd under control, and to keep their hands to themselves. Mark and his crew seem to enjoy these cake security jobs, as we have had no incident since the start of the company. $25 got you into the show and all u-can-drink beer --not a bad bargain at all. We have digitally enhanced, re-mastered, and tried to brighten up the dark spots of the footage the best we could for your viewing. There really is not too much we can do to the dark footage besides try and lighten it up a bit.
If you watch closely enough you can always catch a nipple slip or great crotch shot --hey at least the camera guy tried to get a good shot for you the viewer.
***Disclaimer: Like stated before “only if we knew what we were doing from the start”, that statement also includes all video taping of the live shows. As each show goes, the camera work and production does improve. This includes the actual shot, content, and lighting. We will do our best in lighten up the dark video, editing dead shots, and dressing the video up with graphics to make it more pleasing to the eye.
