Jeff Jarrett and Dutch Mantel worked a match together on Saturday night in Princeton, Ky. "I actually drug Jeff Jarrett's lazy ass around that ring for 15 minutes before he somehow changed all the rules and made it a tag match," Mantel wrote in his latest blog. "I don't know how he got that crap in but he's a Jarrett so he's used to dealing under the table. Bastard. So for all intents and purposes, I claim victory in the match by default."

Mantel also shared a fun story about a Japanese tour he worked early in his career. "When the match started, Maeda came after me like a banshee," Mantel wrote. I don't know how banshees really come at you but I figure they must be pretty aggressive little bastards. He attacked me and started wailing away like I'd stolen something from him. I started wailing back. He hit hard and I hit hard. Hell, I had to hit hard. He was killing me. He wasn't hitting me in the face but he was throwing forearms and kicks out of nowhere and they were connecting." You can read the full blog at TheWorldAccordingToDutch.com.

Powell's POV: Wait, the match between Jarrett and Mantel started as a singles match, yet turned into a tag team match? I thought they stopped writing television with Vince Russo. All joking aside, it's another fun blog from Mantel, who also recalled being beaten so badly in the Japanese match that he wrote, "If I didn't know better, I would have thought I'd had sex with his wife or something."
