even respond. So I've included a bunch here who never even had the COMMON COURTESY to write back (See if I return your calls now,
Miss Stratus!), as well as a number who did. As always, these are the complete, unedited transcripts from my correspondence
with the fairer sex over the past six months or so.
Oh, and a special shout-out to my trusty apprentice Johnny ITR for helping me track down
some of these addresses. Enjoy!
Peace, out, Canadian Bulldog
Dear Sensational Sherry,
Canadian Bulldog here (don't pretend like you don't know who I am!). I met you at a WWF TV taping back
in the day. Me and my partner Jeb Lund were destroyed by The Powers of Pain. I even ended up in the hospital
that night! Remember?
My question: I'm now booking indy shows out of Toronto and we have a GREAT idea that would involve
YOU making a special appearance. Here are the details:
On our Nov. 21 show (Winter Warfare '04), you would be managing our tag team champions, Harlem Heat
2004. You may have heard of them -- Brawlin' Buddy Maxwell and Rik Nakamoto. They are one of the best teams in
our territory.
Anyways, you would manage them against the challengers The Buschwhackers II (Dave and Jeff),
then drop Harlem Heat after they lose the belts. We would have a gimmick that every show you appear at, you'd dump the tag
team you're managing! Also, can you show up at our December 25th event. YES, we realize that's Christmas day. Blame the arena
folks.
Anyways, please let me know ASAP if you can make it. You were my favorite manager of Randy Savage,
Sean Michaels and Teddy Beassey EVER!!!
Peace, out, Canadian Bulldog
Reply: Hi Bulldog,
it's great to hear from you, please send a picture, bumped my head to many times, haha.
My fee is 750.00 plus airfair and hotel, don't forget the pic of yourself, also a pic of the tag
teams, please.........
Sherri Martel
Dear Sherry,
Thanks for the compliment!!! I have tried sending you the necessary photos several times (I don't have
one of myself; my agent is redoing my 8 x 10 promo pics). However, they keep coming back returned undeliverable from your
Hotmail account because of the size of the files.
How about this? I have attached a caricature of The Bucshwhackers 2004 that the two of them often use
as promotional pictures at indy shows. I know it's not the same thing... but at least it gives you an idea of what they look
like. Please advise me if this is acceptable.
Peace, out, B-Dawg

Dear Tammy Sitch,
Canadian Bulldog here (Don't pretend like you don't know who I am!). I was in a dark match on Raw during
one of your last appearances as Sonny.
My question: I'm in the livestock fair business these days, and we are looking for celebrity guests
to add to our line-up. Might we count you in?
It's fairly simple: you would pose for a few pictures with our prize cow, Bessie, then sign some autographs,
and that's it. Possibly some hog-calling as well (haven't decided that yet).
Anyways, if there's any interest on your part, please let us know ASAP. It's either you or that bitch
Jasmin Saint Clair.
Peace, out, Canadian Bulldog

Dear Nicole Base,
Canadian Bulldog here (don't pretend like you don't know who I am!). I got in your way once when you
had an appearance on the Howard Stein Show, and you almost beat me up!
My question: I'm now on the committee for annual Mister Mrs. Contest out of Toronto, and I'm in charge
of securing Celebrity Guest Judges. We want YOU to be on your panel! Already among the judges are actor/singer/songwriter
Stuart Stone and noted novelist Jeb Tennyson Lund.
For the uninitiated, the contest is a local Who's Who of men who want to be women, women who want to
be guys, and occasionally, men who are just fairly comfortable being men. They're judged by their clothing, etiquette and
speaking ability.
What do you think? A portion of the proceeds goes to the Oldline Onslut Fund of Dayton, Ohio.
Please let us know ASAP, as we've already printed brochures with your likeness on them.
Cheers, Canadian Bulldog
Reply: Big Bull,
Hi long time my rate is $1,000 air and hotel. Love and muscle, Nicole Bass
Dear Ms. Base,
Big Bull? You remembered me -- thanks for the compliment!!!
Regarding compensation, I have approached Johnny ITR on this subject, and he has informed me
that the judging role is completely voluntary, as per Ontario law. In other words, the Mister Mrs. competition does not have
a budget to compensate judges. Both Stuart and Jeb have said they'll fly in for free, though.
That said, we would be happy to supply you with the Canadian Bulldog T-Shirt of your choosing. We TAKE CARE of our guests, unlike some other competitions I could name (Little Miss
Universe, are you listening?). So it's all good.
Peace, out, Canadian Bulldog

Dear Medusa,
Canadian Bulldog here (don't pretend like you don't know who I am!). I was at a WCW meet and greet,
several years ago. We met and greeted.
My question: I am currently preparing for our annual "Canadian Bulldog Italian-American Female Sports
Stars Hall of Fame", set for December 29th in Toronto.
Our board of directors (Matt Hocking, Cory Harris, Stuart Stone, Rick Scherer) have nominated
YOU for this prestigious honor. Would you be interested in attending in person? It's very cumbersome to set up one of those
"live via satellite" feeds, so we'd prefer to have you accept in person.
All you would have to do is show up, accept the award, make a short speech that mentions your career
and mine, and land a (worked) punch to the gut of The Rick. Then we hold a fabulous dinner/dance, autograph session,
the works. Are you interested?
Please let me know ASAP. It's either you or you-know-who this year. I'm pulling for you.
Peace, out, Canadian Bulldog

Dear Tracey of NWA T&A,
Canadian Bulldog here (don't pretend like you don't know who I am!). We met at that trade show in '97.
In Scarborough.
My question: I have recently become Colonel for a new elite quasi-military organization known as the
Canadian Bulldogs (thus my new trade name) that helps to protect the greater Toronto area. As a local Toronto celebrity, we
would like YOU to help us "get the word out there" for our cause through local promotional appearances. Plus, Tritch Stratus
won't return our phone calls.
During the appearances (mainly held at shopping malls; one is scheduled at a Toyota dealership), you
would help us find new recruits by yelling at them, calling them maggots and slapping them (fake, of course). It's reverse
psychology! We're hoping to increase our force to at least 45 people by the end of the year.
Please let me know ASAP if you're interested in this new gig. That way, you can "Be All You Can Be"
(that's going to be OUR motto as well).
Peace, out, Canadian Bulldog

Dear April Huntor,
Canadian Bulldog here (don't pretend like you don't know who I am!). We met at an auto show years ago.
You were my favorite nWo member EVER!!!
My question: Plans are currently in place for the maiden voyage of our "Brawlin' Boat" cruise ship,
a new vacation experience designed ENTIRELY for wrestling fans. For example, Hacksaw Jim Duggan will be the honorary
captain for our first cruise, while one of the lesser-known Guerreros (Tito) will be serving drinks.
We would like YOU to sing in our lounge act (the main stage) for our first cruise, which departs from
Dayton, Ohio in May. What do you think? You don't even have to really sing, as most of it will be lip-synched anyways. Mostly
soft jazz music.
Please let us know ASAP as we have already started producing brochures to distribute to travel agents
worldwide. Your inclusion would no doubt be a highlight for our customers (marks).
Cheers, Canadian Bulldog
Reply: HI-I'll bet
ya tell that to ALL the nWo girls, huh?
Trust me, I can't sing...it's actually worse than my wrestling, but thank you for asking me.
Dear Goldy Locks,
Canadian Bulldog here (don't pretend like you don't know who I am!). We met at a meet and greet for
NWA T and A several months ago. You gave the finger to some guy; not sure who.
My question: I am the head and Past President of "The Pin Pals", a button-collecting group out of Toronto.
Our board of directors (myself and Matt Hocking) have nominated YOU to appear at our next annual general meeting in
December.
As the special guest of our AGM, you would be asked to make a short speech (about buttons) and sign
a handful of autographs. After that, we have our annual dinner/dance where we "party like there's no tomorrow!". Attendance
would be mandatory.
Let us know what you think. We would be happy to supply you with some rare collector's pins, such as
the IT F'N R and Orton Fears Jeb ones, for your collection. No questions asked!
Peace, out, Canadian Bulldog
Reply: I'd love to come.
Let me know the details & where it is. Travel would be the only issue. Thank you so much of thinking of me. I am totally
interested provided we're not on tour like the band & I are on now.
Thanks & let me know -Goldy www.goldylocks.com
Dear Goldy Locks,
Bad news.
It looks as though, barring a small miracle, the Pin Pals AGM I wrote to you about on 9/27 will be
CANCELLED FOR GOOD!!!
Why? Let's just say that, once again, the Canadian government has stepped in where it doesn't belong
and threatened to ruin our good time.
For the simple reason that we bring in U.S. talent to appear at our conventions, such as yourself and
actor/singer/songwriter Stuart Stone (who's actually a Toronto boy, but has "gone Hollywood"), the government is calling
our little convention "Un-Canadian"! They're also against our ceremonial flag burning.
However.... I don't believe this is over quite yet. We plan on petitioning Canadian Prime Minister
Paul Martin until he "sees the light" and allows us to hold the annual meeting. Letter-writing; national advertising
campaigns; you name it -- we'll do it!!!
By the way, any chance we could get you to be part of a sit-in we're planning on the lawn of Canadian
parliament (that's in Ottawa, Ontario)?
We'll keep you posted on the latest. KEEP HOPE ALIVE!!!

Dear Raw Diva Search Winner Christie,
Canadian Bulldog here (don't pretend like you don't know who I am!). I met you at some sort of event
several years ago; you told me at the time you probably wouldn't remember it.
My question: we are putting on a celebrity star-studded telethon for The Lund Fund, an organization
that helps children digest complicated prose. We would like YOU to be our special guest speaker during our December 9 gala
event.
The speech could be written ahead of time and shipped to you via Fed-Ex if you don't feel up to writing
your own speech. It would basically deal with the problems in America and why Dubya is all wrong for this country.
Et cetera.
Anyways, please let us know ASAP. It's either you or Carmalla. We'd prefer you. You won the
contest and she didn't.
Peace, out, Canadian Bulldog

Dear Jungle Grrrrrrrrrrrl,
Canadian Bulldog here (don't pretend like you don't know who I am!). I was once backstage at one of
the old WOW shows, but then they told me I wasn't needed because I wasn't, technically, a women's wrestler.
My question: I am now the "special events coordinator" at East Toronto Elementary School and we are
looking a special guest speaker for our second grade class. Are you available?
We are trying to teach children that they can be anything they want to be, including a professional
wrestler. Your appearance would involve discussing your career, answering questions from the class and perhaps blading.
Please let us know ASAP if you are available for this appearance. Our second choice is a clown from
the local strip mall; we don't really think that's an appropriate guest for children that young.
Peace, out, Canadian Bulldog
Reply: Hello there.
I would need to know the date. When you let me know that, I can better answer your question. Hope all is well.
Erica...JG
Dear Jungle Girl,
Thanks for the compliment. The event will be held on January 8th, 2009.
Cheers, Bulldog
Reply: I'll probably
be dead by 2009!
Dear Jungle Girl,
Dead?????
I'm so sorry to hear that. If it helps at all, we could kick Gimmick Man out of our show for
2008. Please let me know ASAP, as I hate doing things at the last minute.
Cheers, Canadian Bulldog
Reply: Well, okay,
how can I refuse such an offer!
Excellent. The children will be so glad to hear it!!! Look forward to seeing you then. Please let us
know if you need directions to the school, et cetera.
Peace, out, Canadian Bulldog
Reply: I will be
there with bells on!!!
Dear Jungle Girl,
No need for the bells, but.... if you have something with chains, we could probably work it into the
event!
Remember -- "Things will be great in 2008"!!!
Cheers, Bulldog
That about does it from here. Email me with your thoughts, comments or suggestions (especially if you're
a female wrestler) at bulldog@onlineonslaught.com. And remember, if you heard it here first, it's… Inside The Ropes. |
