Tom and Nick Maniwa talk indy wrestling [Nov. 12th, 2009|11:45 am]

http://www.themvzone.com/videos/sb4/Tom&NickManiwaTalkSideshowWrestling&IPWSuperJuniorTournament.mp3

Tom & Blank is back once again, as this time I sat down with the most nifty fellow in the entire world, one of my best friends, and the best independent wrestling sound engineer in history, Nick Maniwa! He took an indy wrestling voyage throughout central Indiana this past weekend which led him to Sideshow Wrestling in Nashville, IN and the Insanity Pro Best of the Super Juniors Tournament in Indianapolis (a show that included B-Boy, Ricochet, Flip Kendrick, Billy Roc, & Chuck Taylor, amongst others), so we talked about it. The discussion topics included crazy ladies in podunk towns who go to wrestling shows, modern mixed big person/midget tag matches, whether circus-themed wrestling could work as a niche ironic product in bigger cities, Super Chicken Tickets, show pacing issues, the importance of decent video production quality when trying to sell DVD's, B-Boy's hugs, and Dick Towel. Everyone else is, after all. 90+ minutes of friendliness and cleanliness!

Which day of the week do you least look forward to? And which one do you most anticipate?


View 500 Answers

I hate Sunday nights because I have to go back to work. Sunday Night/Monday Morning at Midnight.

I look forward to Fridays every 2 weeks because of payday, =). Office Thursday is another day I love. I love the weekends.

I did the Writer's Block, hoping it would make me want to write. Lot of stuff has happened since last blog.

Maybe I'll write about it one day, haha. I wrote out a blog at work like 2 months ago and never posted it.

Hope everyone is well.

Much love f-list,
Nick

Happy Birthday to Myself and Owen [Sep. 3rd, 2008|12:25 am]
[Tags|]

I turned 20 years old, 26 mins ago. Not a big deal birthday really. I'm no longer a teenager which makes me reflect on my life. Another year til I can buy booze, haha.

I've had Owen for 3 years. I can honestly say that is the best birthday present I ever got. He's my homie and I love him to death.

Me and Shaina are making the trip to Vermont today at 9. Both of us have never flown before. We have a layover in Cinci then get in at 12:47 or so. We start our trek back, driving, on the 5th. Yes, if anyone didn't know, Jess is moving in, :).

Cari, Myself and Stivers have a birthday bash on the 13th, that I can't wait for. I haven't seen Cari and Clayton in like forever. Can't wait for that.

Got some wrestling shows during the rest of the month. OVW House show with Tom and his lady on the 20th. IWA MS in Medora on the 21st then the Wrestlemania of Indy Tournaments, the TPI at the end of September.

Sami Callahan, Cari, Stivers, Amanda Hagan, Eric Gallusser, Colin Delaney, Danny and Christy all get birthday wishes in this blog cos they rock and stuff.

Hope everyone is doing good and hopefully they continue to be good.

Much love peeps,
Nick

I jacked this from [info]kingdomjames LJ, I think it's a neat little idea, everyone should do it....

This is the kind of thing I usually credit to </a></b></a>[info]suicideking but I think last year there were a couple of days where we all became fascinated with the idea of the ultra-short story. 2 and 4 and 6 words kind of short. I was thinking about it the other day while I was driving up north and I wrote a 6-word story that I'd like to share with you... and then I'd like you to write a 6-word story of your own.

It's still real to me, damnit.

So it's been a month or so.... [Jun. 15th, 2008|07:52 am]
Not much is going on with me. Jess is visiting on Thursday with is awesome. KOTDM is this coming weekend which is somewhat awesome. Depending on how smooth the set up and tear down is. Lemme get through that and I'll let you know.

I hung out with Clayton, Chris, Fat Corey and Colt tonight. Awesome times were had. Middle fingers were flipped. Hush Puppy Biscuit Bread was a random phrase that Colt spouted off for no reason. He also started to talk about slaves too. It was tremendous. I gotta get HPBB on a shirt asap. Pics can be found at the myspace.

Went to Churchill Downs 2 weekends ago. First time actually going to watch races and stuff. It was pretty rad. I think Jess and I are gonna go see Get Smart when she's in town. I do love me some Steve Carell.

Umm, besides that, I've been up way too long, so I think I'm gonna go to bed.

Love to everyone on the f-list. Hope all is well with you guys.

I have a really funny entry coming up but I'm lazy, so suck it.

Jess is visiting tomorrow and staying for 5 days, sweet.

The Office season finale is coming up on Thursday. I may not be able to see it. Anyone willing to tape it and send it to me? I'll gladly pay for the tape/DVD and shipping, :). COME ONNNNN

Umm... Yeah, I got nothing. I'm probably happier than you, =). Hope all is well.

WTF? [Apr. 18th, 2008|05:47 am]

Louisville just had a mini Earthquake and sadly it wasn't John Tenta


It was a mini one but I've never ever experienced that before in my life.

It wasn't terrible but I was like WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON? It's so insane. Everyone on the news keeps saying, a whole lot of shakin' going on. Kyle Cease rules. As does Jess and Coco, :).

That is all.

The return of the Seinfeld entry. [Apr. 10th, 2008|07:23 am]

Let's see... what's been up with me since the last time I forreal wrote a blog/LJ....

- Been hanging out with Cari, Clayton and Chris a lot. I feel left out cos I don't have a C name. I love them guys. We went to Gattiland (pizza/arcade place) on Saturday to celebrate Clayton's B-day (which was tuesday). It was awesome. We ate pizza and played games, it was the life. Clayton picked up a belt and said it was my christmas present. It was a little kid's belt then I look on it and it says NICHOLAS on it. It was destiny. After that, we went back to their house, Me and Chris acted gay for some dude for Denmark, he didn't react, sadly. We went to the grocery, I ate some ice cream and it was delicious. A perfect day.

- I've been talking to this girl for a while. She's pretty rad but she lives far away. She'll hopefully be visiting soon. Gotta work over the Mom on that idea. She's the shit. She knows people I know and she likes wrestling. Like forreal likes it, doesn't just go to shows to talk to people.

- I got IWA MS this weekend. Indy then Joliet. Should be fun. I haven't seen most of the people since March 1st. Plus a Chikara car is coming in, which I love. I get to see Tom too, who I haven't seen since December. Tom rules. I'm missing Thunder over Louisville, thank god.

- Johnny Bravo was on Parental Control this morning, me and Coco made fun of him. It rocked. Coco is good people.

- I made Clayton a figure of himself for his b-day, he loved it.

- It's felt really good outside then it started raining, fucking lame.

- I think I'm hanging out with Shaina next weekend, should be a blast. We got some ideas for things that should be awesome.

- I'm getting Chikara King of Trios soon which should be awesome. I love Chikara.

- Wrestlemania was pretty fun. Flair/HBK was worth the whole show. Incredible finish. WWE has been pretty good cept this past week's RAW which was TERRIBLE.

- The Office returns tonight and I'm super excited. I can't wait for it.

- I need a job, anyone need a soup cooler downer or birthday candle blower outter. I'd be excellent at that cos I blow.

Besides that, nothing else has been up. Same ol shit, different day. The Ian Rotten Roast is released on DVD, everyone should buy it and laugh at how awkward I look. The menus fucking rock though. Ian is opening up a new building/school, I think I may try to start training this year. Just need to get in better shape. I also want to do some standup this year. I think with the roast, it just made me think about it more. Hopefully I can do both and wrestle broads like Andy Kaufman.

That is all, hope everyone has a good weekend

Woe is me [Mar. 28th, 2008|10:18 pm]
Myself and Chris ordered some chicken wings from Domino. We watched Free Radio and we finally get the guy here. The guy opens the bag and BOOM, *wings go flying*

I'm so sorry man, I'll be right back.

Doesn't he know I'm barely surviving. I'm almost nothing now, how will I go on?

Good times.

RIP [Mar. 13th, 2008|09:49 am]
I shaved off my Lincoln beard last night. I kept my creepy mustache. I wanna see how that goes.

Going to Ohio this weekend. It shall rock the party that rocks the body.

Besides that, nothing else is up. I lost 5 pounds last week when I was sick, so that's rad.

I don't have another wrestling show for a month, so if anyone wants to hang out, lemme know.

Later skaters,
Nick

Happy Leap Day [Feb. 29th, 2008|07:20 am]



Hope everyone is having a happy leap day. I celebrated it by hanging out with Clayton and Cari and eating McSkillet Burritos. I have McGas now, wakka wakka.

If you're coming to IWA, I'll see you there. If not, have a good and safe weekend, <3.

Nick Maniwa's List of Cuddle Doom [Feb. 22nd, 2008|12:51 am]

*Edit* I already lost this once, so it's kinda half assed now.

Fannin and Stacy had some discussions about their "Laminated list". The definition of Laminated List is:

A list of the top 5 people, usually celebrities, with whom you could have sex with without repercussions, if the opportunity arose, regardless of whether you were in a relationship or not.

I really don't like the HAVE SEX part. I'm not all about that forreal. How about cuddle with? From here on, you can say my list is girls I would cuddle with, =).

I'm picking more than 5 people because that's how I roll. I'll be posting this on my Livejournal since I can resize pics and whatnot.
 

I have no order at all. This is just the way I searched for the pics and whatnot.

 
Elena Fox.
She's from Ace of Cakes and she's also in a band. She has a sleeve of tattoos and she can make cakes that look like dogs. What more do you need? That's the best pic she had on her myspace.

The rest of the list is under the cut, suckas )

Edit- I left Elena Fox on myspace and said like, this is gonna come off lame but I think you're gorgeous. She actually commented me back *squeee*

Overheard [Feb. 21st, 2008|08:50 pm]
So I was on a message board today and someone asked about if you ever overheard something funny. Another guy posted a site called OverheardinNewYork.com.

Basically it's stories that people have overheard. I've had a blast reading them, so I figured I'd pass it on to you guys.

After searching, there is a bunch of overheard sites. Here's the google search with some of them...

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rls=GGGL%2CGGGL%3A2006-41%2CGGGL%3Aen&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=overheard+in

Enjoy. Be sure to check out my laminated list entry as well, :).
