April 23rd, 2008Wow, Missy Sampson is back with all that and a salute to Tod Gordon!
Missy Sampson — The Luscious Lowdown
Friendship, Loyalty, Respect & a Little Ass Kicking!
Don’t be shocked by another update so soon. It needed to be done. First the updates.
Last weekend was a busy one for me. Saturday I was at PWU where Tod Gordon retired. I was the ring announcer for this show. The show itself had an odd feeling to it. I guess it was because for now it will be the last PWU show held at the arena. I thought it was a great show. John Finegan and myself gave TBA two time limit extensions. The Best Around (TJ Cannon & Bruce Maxwell) is becoming my favorite tag team to watch. There is fluidity between the two of them that is spectacular. However as great as they are they were still unable to defeat AMIL for the tag team titles. I would have loved to keep giving them time extensions however.
The cage match was tremendous and Z-Barr showed me a lot in there. I was also happy that my girl Amy Lee got to take the open spot in the cage for Team PWU. She didn’t get eliminated and with Teddy Fine and 2 Cold Scorpio, won it for Team PWU. Unfortunately at the end of the match we realized Adam Flash was legit injured. Apparently he had blacked out during the match and had also injured his ribs on the left side of his body. He lay in a crumpled heap on the side of the ring. Now Adam and me have not always gotten along. Especially in PWU; however I have known him for years and I would never want to see another wrestler legit hurt. It was apparent that Adam was going to need an ambulance, which someone had called. The students took down the side of the cage closest to Adam and I had them remove the bottom rope so the EMT’s would be able to put him on a backboard and slide him right out of the ring. It was not a good scene. I told Adam for all the grief he gave me at PWU that I was going to tell everyone that I laid him out. So I’m taking credit for it!
I heard from Mrs. Flash the following day that Adam had a concussion and had broken his ribs. I got a picture on Monday from her of Adam giving me the finger.
I spent the night at Amy Lee’s house. I woke up early and Cindy Rogers met us there and we headed up to Lake Hiawatha for the WSU show. It was a crazy ridiculous car ride as anyone could have expected. We arrived at the building and seeing everyone was great as always.

I got dressed, did some promos, took a picture with Amy and waited for the show to start. And start it did. Somewhere between the start of the show and my match I got a huge surprise when Melissa Stripes, Donnie Johnson & Dan Gimondo showed up. All three I certainly don’t see enough of! I spent some time talking to Stripes and trust me people I am trying to convince her to put the tights and the boots on! I don’t know if it’s working but I’m trying.
My match on the first show was an 8 woman elimination match featuring Amy Lee, Jana & Alere “Dirty Indian” Little Feather against “The Beatdown Betty’s” of Annie Social, Rebecca Payne, Rick Cataldo & Roxie Cotton. It also happened to mark the first time I got to wrestle for WSU. I was super psyched about it. The match started off with a dance off (Jana made us do it!). We took turns and Jana schooled Cataldo, Alere schooled Roxie and then in came Annie Social who hit her split and gave us the finger. The crowd started to chant “You got served” and it was my turn. I knew I couldn’t top the split but I certainly could top the finger. I bent over and mooned the entire other team. The crowd then told them that they got served! Amy got in and did a little dance move and then charged the other side of the ring. The match started off with Jana and Cataldo. The match went back and forth with some tags in and out and I ended up in the ring with Cataldo and pinned him with my gutbuster finish. Then charged in Rebecca Payne but I laid her out and tug Jana back in. Jana finished off Rebecca and then in came Annie Social. Jana tug in Alere and for a bit Annie was knocking Alere around. Alere started hulking up and going nuts with her Tomahawk Chops and Annie after taking a few to the noggin rolled to her corner and tried to tag in Roxie. Roxie begged off and said she didn’t want any parts of the crazy Indian. Annie got fed up, rolled out of the ring and told Roxie she could do it by herself then. Annie went to the back and got counted out. This left all four of us against Roxie and man did we take it to her. I remember boot washing her while Jana had her down, giving her a wedgie and then ripping her thong out the back of her pants, back chopped her and then after Jana and Alere hit their finishes, I stopped Alere from pinning her to hit my gutbuster on her and allow Amy to hit her double leg drop on her for the pin. The four of us celebrated and headed to the back.
On the second taping was the Uncensored Rumble to declare the new 1 contender to the WSU title currently held by Nikki Roxx. It’s no secret I hate battle royals! I usually get hurt in every one of them! We drew numbers at the end of intermission and luck was smiling on me as I drew 15 (the last entrant). It also meant since everyone was entering every 2 minutes, from the time the match started I had about 25 minutes to wait around before hitting the ring. Amy drew 9, which also meant that if everyone else in the match ganged up on her, it would be 12 minutes before I could get in to help her! Well my number was finally called and I hit the ring. I hit a few people and then Amy and me stood in the corner for a few minutes talking strategy. I helped Alexa eliminate Annie Social and then single handedly eliminated Kaycee Carlisle. Amy and me took a look at the ring and what was left was Cindy working over Reyna Fire in one corner and Angel Orsini working over Alexa in another. Amy headed toward Cindy and I headed at Angel. I acted like I was going to high five Angel for laying Alexa down and instead hit her with some forearms. Angel stuck a finger in my eye and then chopped and hit me with some forearms, before tossing me over the top rope. I was eliminated. And while I was upset, I was also thankful because for once I didn’t get hurt. I argued with the ref for a few seconds and was told to get to the back. I hung out and watch Amy who came out the winner of the rumble and now is the 1 contender to the WSU championship.

After the show I kidnapped Becky Bayless (her ride actually left her) and she joined myself, Amy Lee, Cindy Rogers, Alere, Wrestlin’ Wally, Angel Orsini (hey she kept me safe), her boyfriend and another friend, Robert Payes, Donnie Johnson, Dan Gimondo, Melissa Stripes, Ref Hanson, Bison Bravado, The Mic and Sammy at the Hibachi place around the corner for dinner. A crazy dinner was had and we headed home. Victory is so sweet!
A special note regarding Tod Gordon. Tod was someone I met back when I used to go to ECW shows. He was always very nice to me back then. I hadn’t seen him in quite a few years when he came onboard at PWU. During his time in PWU he was amazing. An amazing person, leader and friend to me. When my family or myself were sick, he was always one of the first people to call me and see if there was anything he could do. He also was always open anytime I had a suggestion or question. He gave me a little bit of freedom and tons of encouragement. He was always telling me how great I did or how proud of me he was that I had grown so much from that young girl he had remembered. This past Saturday he took the time to sit down with me and do nothing but tell me all the positive things he sees in me and gave me a great pep talk. He complimented me on how far I had come in wrestling. The fact is I will always be grateful to Tod. Tod is one of those people who remembers me from when I was just a fan and instead of remembering me that way or treating me like I’m still that young girl, Tod treats me with respect for the woman I’ve become. Tod, I will miss seeing you monthly at shows but we will stay in touch and I will see you soon! Thank you for everything!
Now on to a more pressing issue for me. For years I’ve been a very nice person to everyone I meet. I go out of my way for people and try and be a true friend to those I can. Usually what it’s gotten me is stabbed in the back and walked all over. Well quite frankly I’m sick and tired of it. I’ve started re-evaluating friendship and respect. I’m no longer going to waste my time on people who are one sided. I’m no longer going to stand for people disrespecting my friends or me. I had to get into an argument Saturday night with someone who thought it was ok that they were complimentary to me but then said some pretty crappy things about 3 of my friends. I also had to take care of someone disrespecting me, laughing about it and then trying to smile in my face this weekend. I’m just done with it all. Fake people, disrespectful people and those back stabbing lying bitches that are only out for themselves. Consider this the only notice.
Well this is much longer then I anticipated it to be. So as much as I’d like to keep going on, I will end it now. Shout outs to my sisters Tracy, Dawn and Rose. Also shout outs to those who took my back this weekend. You know who you are! I hope everyone is safe and well and enjoying the warmer weather!
