Worst pro wrestling idea. Ever.
By Jim Murphy August 15th, 2008Do you know how much ground it covers to suggest that something is the worst pro wrestling idea *ever*? A business that’s given us wrestling bears, the Gobbledygooker, Vince McMahon’s “Kiss My Ass” club, The Shockmaster, Robocop, octogenarian Mae Young giving birth to a rubber hand, Jerry Lawler fighting Frankenstein and “The Christmas Creature” and too many other lame gimmicks, angles, storylines, etc. to count? If you don’t believe us check out the excellent website Wrestlecrap.com, then come back and finish this story….
Wrestlecrap–the very worst of pro wrestling
We get that the only way to compete with the juggernaut that is the WWE is to provide a little product differentiation. ROH raises the bar in the ring, offering the best product outside of Japan. Shimmer features real women athletes who can actually wrestle in contrast to the silicon enhanced WWE “divas”. TNA features some of the best workers on the planet like AJ Styles and Samoa Joe, along with the nostalgia factor of convoluted Vince Russo storylines that bombed the first time he tried them during the dying days of WCW.
So we understand that the Not Rated Pro Wrestling promotion has to try and be different. And they’re different alright–here’s their business model:
Step 1: Porn Stars + Pro Wrestling
Step 2: ?????
Step 3: Profit!
For the record, we’re not saying that they’re doing a Val Venis-like porn star character, or a porno angle or storyline. They’re offering real porn stars in the ring battling for..uh…porno supremacy. Honestly, we can’t describe it as well as they can. Here’s the blurb on an upcoming event from their under construction website:
Once again, the battle between porn stars and wrestling greats heats up inside the ring with New Porn Order and Not Rated Professional Wresting!
At the upcoming NRPW wrestling card at the Crazy Horse Saloon, tempers will undoubtedly be hot! The next main event is this Sunday, May 18th, when NRPW sponsors two Title Matches between Evan Stone and Craig Valentine (defending his current title), and Sean Casey versus Scorpio!
In addition, six of the hottest female wrestlers will compete for the next Ladies Qualifying Match. Since good things often come in pairs, the next Tag Team Match with SBA (Scum Bag Agents, a duo) versus Loaded Cash and ATM (All The Money) will also take place this Sunday.
And that’s not all: Vampire Warrior will duke it out with David Young, and Mr. Montana will rumble with Bull Buchannon. Also, Pablo Marquez and The Contender plan to tussle, and Billy Blade and Jerrelle Clark will mix it up, too!
Special Guests scheduled to attend are adult entertainment legends Tommy Gunn, Mary Carey, Heddi Mae, Jetta St. James and more!
Join NRPW, the wrestlers and the porn stars for a pre-party this Saturday, starting at 9pm. The Sunday matches begin at 8pm. All events this week will be held at the Crazy Horse Saloon in North Miami, Florida (located at Miami Gardens Drive and I-95). As the feuds intensify, count on choke-holds, manhandling, and hardcore action! Of course, ringside adult bombshells will be there, as well!
And what title, you may ask, is Craig Valentine defending? It’s a belt that will soon be as respected as the NWA title, the IWGP championship or the All Japan Triple Crown championship: The “X-Rated Title”, symbolic of the best pro wrestler/male porn star in the world today.
“X-Belt” title holder Craig Valentine’s bio was “under construction”, but his rival Evan Stone’s bio was available:
Evan Stone (born July 18, 1969 in Dallas, Texas, U.S.) is a pornographic actor. In 2002 he married Jessica Drake whom he has since divorced. He’s currently dating fellow porn star Syren whom he thanked at the 2008 AVN awards. He has performed in over 583 movies since 1998. Stone is also notable for having a sizable penis, as well as for a resemblance to Tarzan. Stone has said in interviews that he had a difficult childhood, being ridiculed for his appearance (being called “butt chin,” for instance), and having a gap in his teeth, but has gotten over most of that, although it has also kept him “real” throughout his rise to notoriety.
Somehow its difficult to imagine Harley Race or Jack Brisco mentioning their “sizable penis” in a bio.
While there’s plenty of pro wrestling geeks on the Intertubes that are outraged by the “Porn/Pro Wrestling” connection the pro wrestling geeks here at SAVSCI are just amused. Pro wrestling has always pushed the envelope in terms of sleaze, from “Apartment House Wrestling” in 1970’s Apter-mags to the AWA “Lingerie Street Fight Battle Royal” to GLOW to the silicone enhanced WWE divas laying down for Playboy and other skin rags. This is just the inevitable progression of the symbiotic relationship between pro wrestling and good old fashioned sleaze.
Not that we want to see male porn stars wrestling each other…anyway, below is a picture of “X-Rated Championship” challenger (and oddly Fabio-esque) Evan Stone.

Evan is my hero! Unless Rocco is in the same room of course!

Gives a whole new meaning to “doing the job” now doesn’t it?

First of all mad respect to you for using the term ’sizable penis’ and ‘Harley Race’ in the same sentence. Let’s see Dave Meltzer do that sh*t!
I don’t need to tell you that Race was very possibly the baddest man to ever enter a pro wrestling ring. In his prime he would have strolled into the ring with both porno degenerates cowering in fear at the sight of his massive muttonchops. He’d beat down both dudes and would then demonstrate that his ’sizable penis’ dwarfed theirs.
Your probably the smartest fight guy around but I know you’re too much of a gentleman to outline where things are going to go with this promotion. So I’ll do it for you. The ’step 2′ in their business model will be a combination wrestling PPV/porno taping. After the main event a couple of porn skanks will enter the ring, the wrestlers will drop trou and try to ‘tap them out’ while the crowd of sleazebags urges them on.
Just the thought of it makes me puke. I’d rather watch a 24 hour retrospective of the Ultimate Warrior’s career with him narrating

We should just count ourselves fortunate that Pat Patterson isn’t involved with the booking of this promotion…
