Sunset Flip Presents Stop the Screwjobs
From Jim Boy Star
This past Thursday, we witnessed the “Olrando Screwjob” and of course the wrestling community is up in arms. For those that missed it, TNA did a screwjob ending for Kurt Angle’s match against AJ Styles. AJ puts Angle in the ankle lock and then the referee rings the bell.

Funk’s Corner – Gene Kiniski
My Father, Dory Funk Sr. always said you can never learn the wrestling business unless you face the best.
In my first year in the wrestling, I faced the best. I wrestled Verne Gagne to an hour draw, defeated Sonny Meyers, Fritz Von Erich, and Pat O’Connor and I wrestled Gene Kiniski to a one hour draw in what I still consider one of the toughest matches I ever had. At about the 40 minute mark, Gene grabbed both of my legs and gave me his “Giant Swing” until I nearly blacked out, then dropped me in the center of the ring and jumped on me with all 6′ 6 280 pounds, then crossed my face with his forearm and said, “Your Mother is coming to ringside, Dorothy is worried about you, here she comes to help you.” To this day I still consider wrestling Gene Kiniski the most demanding athletic event I have participated in.

Alan Wojcik: Let’s take it from the top. Talk about the process you went through during the tryout that got you signed by WWE?
Steve Lewington: It was rough at first. I was pretty nervous because I knew it could’ve been one of my only chances to prove myself to the WWE and I wanted to show them I had the skills to be in the number one company in the world. The staff at WWE had my number because I had worked a few shows for them when they were touring and they called me and said that they were coming in for a Raw event and asked if I’d be interested in working for the night. And the rest is history. (more…)
