Down & Derby: With the ma-Scott (May 8th Bout)

May 12, 2010 by

I don’t want to sound snooty or anything, but my alter-ego is better than your alter-ego!  Being the mascot for the Cincinnati Rollergirls allows me to do pretty much anything I want. I feel like a rock star. How many of you get to go somewhere and have 3,000+ people screaming for you? How many of you have people chanting your name when you walk into a place? You see, no one cares when Scott Livesay walks into a room.  But, when Wooly Bully walks into a room, people take notice.  They stand up and cheer, they scream my name, the WANT me to acknowledge them. And, for that…I love you all very, very much.

It was Scout Night at the Gardens, and Boy and Girl Scouts from all over the Cincinnati area came to learn what derby was all about.  Before the bouts started all the Rollergirls came out to put on an exhibition for everyone in attendance.  The kids all loved it.  And, not only did our Rollergirls spend about 30-45 minutes doing some demo jams for everyone, but after that they had a meet-and-greet for all the kids.  They signed autographs and answered all the questions that the scouts had.  This should show you what kind of family-friendly atmosphere we have.

Scout night was also the scene for my first derby injury.  At halftime of the Silent Lambs’ game I was in a race with a few boy and girl scouts-  one lap around the track for all the marbles.  Needless to say, I cheated.  I jumped the starting gun to get a 5 second lead on those scouts, when from out of no where, June with a Cleaver come barreling at me!  To give you an idea, June MIGHT weight 115 lbs….MIGHT. I, on the other hand, weight more than that. (By a small bit…or a lot).  She hit me so hard that I flew off my feet and landed hard on my caboose.  Apparently, I caught myself funny, and may or may not have broken my hand/finger.  Time will tell.

As for the games themselves, the Cincinnati teams made out with a clean sweep.  The Silent Lambs beat up on  the Chicago Shade Brigade 140-45, and the Black Sheep skated all over the Chicago Outfit 141-86.  Some of the stand-outs for the Lambs were Blocker; The Librarian, Maime, Nik Jagger and Penni Pusha. And, Jammers;  Bex Pistol, Pistol Whippin’ Wendy, Bombtrack and Polly Rocket.  The PTP-ers (Prime Time Players…Thank you Dick Vitale) for the Sheep were Dr. McDerby and Trauma for stepping into the Jammer position for the two Sheep jammers who weren’t in the game, Hannah Ouchocinco and K. Lethal.  Well done ladies!

Another Saturday in the books, a couple more wins for Cincinnati and another blab-fest from a Sheep.  Thanks for taking the time to read the nonsense I write.  Hopefully, you enjoy it.  And, hopefully the folks here at CincyVoices will keep me on! Make sure you become of fan of Wooly Bully on Facebook and Follow him on Twitter!  So…until next time, this is your ole’ pal, Wooly Bully, saying…”See ya at the Gardens!

Down & Derby: With the ma-Scott

I’m back, and better than ever!

Two big things have happened since the last time I wrote. First off, I was unveiled in the Cincinnati Reds Opening Day Parade. It was my first time in costume for the Cincinnati Rollergirls, and I had an amazing time.  This was my first chance to be in the opening day parade, and being a lifelong baseball fan, it couldn’t have been a bigger honor for me.

And, now for the second big things…My first Rollergirl bout! It was their 2nd home bout of the season, and their 5th game overall. Going in to this bout they were 3-1. While losing their first home bout, they went down to Florida and swept 3 games in a weekend tournament!

I started the evening off with a little bit of tailgating with some good friends (One of which decided it would be funny to bring lamb kabobs) And, I visited with some other fans in the parking lot.

I made it back inside in time to see that Sadistic Sadie brought me a razor scooter to ride around on! So, I took that for a spin, and fell off a few times. Then, it was time for the Silent Lambs game to start.

I’m not exactly sure how I’m going to write this section yet. When I watched my first bout back in March I was able to sit and watch the game. I was able to see what happened to whom, and how everything in the game unfolded. This time around I didn’t see much of the games. I spent the entire time in costume, and it’s hard enough to see what’s right in front of me let alone going on in the game. So, here goes nothing!

The Silent Lambs faced off against the St. Louis St. Lunachix. The Lambs were coming off their opening win of the season, but couldn’t handle the veteran experience of the St. Louis team.  But, good things came out of this game for Cincinnati. Saturday was the first game for Hop Devil, who looks to have a great future in derby! Polly Rocket came back from an injury, and Wheezy and The Librarian continued to be awesome as always. Unfortunately, the final score ended up being St. Louis 89- Cincinnati 39.

The Black Sheep took on the ARRG All-Stars (Arch Rival Roller Girls from St. Louis).  The home team kicked some butt in this bout.  The final score was Cincinnati 134- AARG All Stars 68. But, the real story of this game was Jammer, Hannah Ouchocino.  Who, at a point in the game, went down to the floor and sustained two broken fingers and a cut to the chin (that required stitches).   She then came back and finished the game.  I have to tell you, had I fallen and broken two fingers there’s no way I would have continued the game in costume. I would have found my mom who was at the Gardens and hung out with her for the rest of the night and let her baby me!

This biggest excitement of the night for me was halftime of the Black Sheep bout. The floor cleared out, and I decided to wander out to the middle of the floor. I didn’t really have any idea what to do, but I really wanted to be the center of attention. So, I stood in the middle of the Cincinnati Gardens and took a bow in all directions. Then, proceeded to rouse a crowd of over 3,000 people! I’ve honestly never been in front of that many people, and the rush was completely exhilarating! To have all those people cheering for me…needless to say, I’m a little bit more conceited than I was before. And, before, I already knew I was AWESOME!

Saturday was more fun than I could have ever expected, and I cannot wait for May 8th, which is the next home game. So, make sure you get your tickets now!  I know I’ll be there, so look for me! I’ll be the one who looks like a giant sheep!
