W.W.W. featuring Jumpin' Jeff Farmer and The Brian Kendrick vs Scotty Goldman

On Wednesdays, we here at LOL, Wresslin' like to really pull out the stops and offer up a double shot of righteously killer content. Why Wednesday? Well, we could impress you with market research, work habit studies, and human psychology tendencies to show you there's a scientific reason the middle of the week is the best time to bring your A-game. However, truth be told, we don't have any of that stuff and settled on Wednesday because that was the only day that didn't have any content scheduled.

So, here you have "Watch Wresslin' Wednesdays." Please feel free to suggest a better title, because we are woefully uncreative when it comes to naming stuff.


Better at naming stuff than us

The idea of W.W.W. is we each send the other a video that is related to wrestling (a match, promo, interview, guest starring spot, etc.). The only restriction is that it cannot be user-created, so your Chris Jericho/The Miz/Twitter slash fiction reading ain't gonna fly here, pal. Neither of us know what kind of video we're going to get that day.

After viewing, we each write a response. This could be anything we choose: a straight commentary, a philosophical enlightenment, or classless ridicule. Just as we don't know what kind of video the other will select, neither do we know what the other will write or how they will write it. What you end up with is a mash-up of styles, which in our book equates to two-blogs-in-one, and we can take the rest of the day off.


Matt's Video to Adam- Jumpin' Jeff Famer Promo Collection: Vol 4



Adam's response...


Hmm, I suppose the new fad here is "Awful promos by rednecks that clock in at under one minute."

Regardless, this is part of a Youtube series about some former wrestler named "Jumpin'" Jeff Farmer. They are meant to show off some of his more memorable promos, and are in fact, video responses to Best Wrestling Promo Ever. Of course, the irony of the situation is that it was not, in fact, the best wrestling promo ever. It's actually fairly awful. So the Farmer series may be a continuation of this gag. But you know what, HoneyDewWilkens? Eat a dick. Eat a bag of dicks.

Is it a good promo? Lord no, but I've heard a lot worse (namely from a certain large hogged world champion who talks.....like......this.....for.....every.....word.....he....says.....in.....his.....long.....drawn......out....
redundant....promos....) But Jeff Farmer comes across like a real good dude. Someone who'd be fun to hang out with. Maybe talk a little wrasslin' with. Maybe, just maybe, his goal is not to be the meanest, baddest man ever. Maybe he's just an athletic guy who can provide for his family by wrestling. Maybe he's not an emotionally arrested individual who just needs to hit other men because his daddy touched his butthole. It's weird. I like Jeff Farmer.

Now granted, I had no clue who he was and there's really no information on him. I was able to find some info on a wrestler named Jeff Farmer who wrestled as nWo Sting in the mid 90's and is still active on the indy scene, but I don't think they are the same man. This tape looks like it's from the 70's. At the very least, it's a territory, and the territories for the most part were dead by 1992 when fake Sting started his career. As for the territory, it says it's IPW, but that's such a bland acronym that narrowing down the Miz's douchiest moment would be easier.

It's too hard to rank!

So Jeff Famer, you live on as a Youtube sensation. Congratulations! And don't let people who criticize a few stumbles and misunderstanding of words get you down. They're all posers.

You know (tm) what? That's stupid advice. Because Jeff Farmer has never been a cry baby, and he never will be.

Adam's video to Matt - The Brian Kendrick versus Scotty Goldman



Matt's response...

Enjoy the mid-card, Kendrick!

Now, I know that he probably didn't pick that gimmick, and I also know that Adam has a hard-on for it, but "The" Brian Kendrick just isn't over for me. Maybe it's the fact that he never has anyone decent to feud against (see: Scotty Goldman), but likely it's just that I don't like Brian Kendrick, "the" or otherwise. He's a great technical wrestler, but just doesn't do it for me with his personality.

Congratulations, Brian Kendrick!

And Scotty Goldman. You're good too, my friend. Very nice in the ring. The two of you had a quaint little match. But you will never make me laugh. Sorry. Try as hard as you want, but I will never find anything you do funny.

Tazz summed you up rather well: wacky. That's what you are. Wacky. And wacky doesn't do anything for me. "Ohhhh! You can break the fourth wall! You're aware of the conventions of Smackdown television presentation." "Tee hee, you use your butt as offense." "Your singlet has funny things written on it."

Ha. Ha. Ha.

Also wacky

How about Ezekiel? What can I say about him? Good luck with your future endeavors.

Same to you, Scotty.
