People Asked Me Questions, Here I Give Them Answers :)
These came from FB messenger, email and Twitter.
What was
your favorite federation growing up?
AWA and Bob Luce/Dick The Bruiser's WWA in Indiana.
Knowing your
disdain for Dave Scherer and Mike Johnson( PWInsider), Jason Powell
(ProWrestling.net) and WrestlingInc, Do you consider yourself
'better' than them when it comes to being a columnist? Also, with
their recent blocking of you because you fact checked them do you
think they believe you're not in their league?
I don't know about better but I just have a very different approach
compared to them, I always have. While they over saturate their sites
with what I consider senseless WWE stuff I know there's more to this
business than WWE they're neglecting for whatever reason. So what
they're neglecting, (emphasis on indy and UK stuff) that's left a gap
which I've more than been happy to fill. There's always something
'MORE” than just WWE to write about so if they don't want to cover
it, I will. That's how I've gotten my name back into it since I
returned to doing this acouple years ago. What they fail or neglect
or ignore I've taken up so that has helped me stand out from them. So
by all means please have them continue to do that because guys like
me will continue to have my name out there because of it. As for
their 'blocking' of me or anyone else that shows them something I
wrote about them? As I keep saying, truth hurts, especially when I
provide proof to back up that truth. Proof is a mother fucker and I
seem to be a mother fucker who has a knack for supplying proof.
What the problem it seems for them is, they're not used to someone
publicly putting them in their place. For the longest time they've
had this feeling that because they're hiding in their little bubble
of their own web page, 'controlling' people's replies and comments so
that way it makes it 'appear' that they have the last word on
someone. But get them out of their bubble that they hide behind, like
on FB or Twitter and go heads up on them, they're not used to that
and don't know how to react when someone puts them in check on that
kind of a platform. So blocking is the only thing they have because
they really have nothing else. They don't have the balls to admit
they got put in check so they'd rather hide behind a block like a
bitch instead. I've said it before and I'll say it again. People can
access or message me on FB, email, Twitter and they want to engage,
pack a lunch and prepare ahead of time because I'll engage back.
Maybe it's because someone like myself hasn't come along before and
fact checked certain things they've written and exposed it, that
they're not used to it. Whatever it is that's on them if they can
dish it out but are too much of a pussy to take it when someone gives
it right back tot hem. They want to act like bitches, treat em like
bitches then. And by all means go ahead and tell all of them I said
that. Expect to get blocked immediately after you do though because
that's all they're capable of doing.
I wanted to
tell you how much I enjoy your blog, you bring such a wide variety of
things that I don't see on other wrestling sites. The podcast recaps,
YouTube stuff and old matches make visiting your blog very enjoyable.
Thank you for not writing a recap of shows but showing them. My
question is, have you had any promotion angry at you because you've
posted their YouTube material?
Thank you and I hope you continue to enjoy what I post there. Not one
federation or promotion anywhere has asked me to stop posting their
Youtube material. When it comes to like the indy groups or companies
like Defiant, ICW, OTT, etc. They've actually liked (on my Twitter
announcement of what's been updated) the fact I've mentioned them in
some way. It's added exposure they're not getting elsewhere, that
they are getting on a regular basis by me. Plus since I'm a fan of
these indy promotions and the UK companies I enjoy watching and
getting my wrestling fix from them. So since they're satisfying what
the major companies here in the states can't or won't do for me? I'm
happy to try and plug it in some way for them. I have the platform of
this blog, and acouple places on FB to post stuff so why not give em
a plug and hopefully have others watch and enjoy their product like I
do.
What was the
worst wrestling show you've ever been to?
Without
a doubt it was Ringside Wrestling, in Hooksett, NH run by Jeff
Costas. I actually wrote about that, which you could find right here
at this link. http://prowrestlingtapes.angelfire.com/worstshow.html I went to that show while I was working for WWA New England and
Costas wasn't happy with me being there.. You can read all about that
at that link.
What legends
did you wish you always wish you could meet but weren't able to?
Dick The Bruiser and Da Crusher. Bruiser Brody as well. Growing up
watching them to this day are wonderful memories that thanks to
Youtube, I can go back and revisit anytime. I would love to pick the
brain of Greg Gagne as I've seen his shoot interview but there's some
questions, as a long fan growing up on the AWA I'd love to ask him.
Do you watch
WWE, Impact or ROH on a regular basis?
Nope. Every time I try to watch them, they remind me again why I
don't. Which is why I'm thankful for watching indy wrestling,
especially the ones I follow on a weekly basis, along with companies
like WWA out of Kentucky, and the UK federations like WOS, Defiant,
PROGRESS, NGW, ICW, OTT (as of late has caught my attention and is
keeping it :) ). The UK stuff has more wrestlers I can get into than
most of the ones here in America working for the said companies you
mentioned. Plus the storylines are simple, believable, and the UK
shows I watch have that old “ECW Vibe” to them that I've always
enjoyed. Simple straight ahead wrestling shows that doesn't insult my
fucking intelligence. Something that seems to be too much of a
challenge for the big three here in America to accomplish.

WWE Can't Keep A Storyline Straight If Their Life Depended On It (Especially On PPV)
They micromanage so much there but yet, can't micromanage how a main story line is supposed to go? (rolls eyes). Not only is this pretty fucking stupid, it's too obvious and them trying to ignore it makes them look even more stupid.
Last night at Survivor Series, Raw dominated SmackDown Live on the main card, with the red brand picking up all six wins. WWE kept telling the fans that RAW had won all the inter-promotional matches, which surprised quite a few people as WWE said SmackDown Live's victory on the pre-show did not count for the tally. This led to a few SmackDown Live Superstars such as Xavier Woods taking to Twitter to remind the officials that the blue brand had picked up a win, and to respect the tag team divisions on both brands.
The storyline called for Raw to have a clean sweep at Survivor Series. Something was lost in the communication process, which led to SmackDown Live accidentally getting booked to win the pre-show match. This led to the announcers ignoring the results of the pre-show, and focusing only on the matches on the main card.
