Response to the ignorant

Last night I was reading a statement by World-1 "promoter" Steve Goff and it got me pissed off. Check the statement out at http://miwcstaff.proboards52.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=general&thread=1159221604

You know, it's been a long time since I lashed out at something involving Michigan Wrestling because I have gotten to know some of the workers and promoters and have a lot of respect for them. Wednesday Night that all change, when I read Steve Goff's little "statement" on MIWC. I am a little pissed off at some of things there were said

1. First off, please do yourself a favor and realize that just because a "company" or "federation" puts on a show, that it's REALLY "Pro(fessional) Wrestling." If it requires a cage match between two hacks for the 1000th time to get over with you, go play in traffic. If you're paying exorbitant prices for tickets because your "friend" who is semi or more likely marginally (or worse, NOT) talented in the ring, go play in traffic. If you're THAT EASY, you're not a fan of PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING.

Who in the hell are you to tell how fans to act and how to feel. Are you trying to commit career suicide and put W-1 out of business. Let me tell you something, those two hacks are where they are because they worked their asses off. Don't people telling people they are not wrestling fans just because of what they like or don't look, get over yourself.

2. I love it when they want to be added to our "Friends" list on Myspace too. I love it when they try to work me to make sure there's no heat between us - would it matter if there was? I'm done with you anyway. I have no use for guys who aren't in it for the team - that are only in it for themselves. Guys like MARK WORKER here in Bay City (name changed to protect the guilty).

Why don't you have some guts and say it's Bull Wheeler, because we all know that's who you're talking about. Yeah so what if he is wrestling for UCW. Big deal. Since when Indy promotions have contracts saying that can't wrestle for certain promotions...never except TNA because its a nationalized promotion on TV. Ok if Bull is so damn selfish how come he drives from Bay City to Coldwater to wrestler for POG. How come he drives to Bay City to Kalamazoo to wrestle for HPW...Because he is selfish? No, because he wants to help promotions like them out.

I would really like know something. Before World-1 where were you a "promoter." Honeslty I would love to know. a "promoter" doesn't go around telling fans how they should act.

Lastly, I know I don't mean anything to anyone when it comes to Michigan Wrestling because I am not a wrestler. Unfortunately my health does not allow me to wrestle so I have to get in the hard way, by using my creativity and offering my services to anyone and everyone who would like them. I could really careless if I get a bad reputation again by what I am saying. If you got a problem with it you can email me at hollywoodsgimmicks@yahoo.com I am just a fan of wrestling, any kind of wrestling wether it be sports entertainment, freestyle, or professional. It's something I have a passion for and it doesn't matter to me if you respect it or not. All I got to say is God Bless all the wrestlers and promoters in Michigan and keep up the great work.

PS. I am not trying to get me or anyone else over. I speak my mind whenever and wherever I want to.

World War 2 in Wrestling is inevitable, Scottie Nice, and Noah Lott

The picture says it all. Kurt Angle signing with TNA changes everything. If the Sting vs. Jarrett match wasn't big enough. Add Angle as the enforcer then the match is money. I believe the this along with the new timeslot the momentum has swung in TNA's favor and here are my thoughts on both sides

TNA Advantages:
-Lesser work schedules is every wrestlers dream
-TNA Wrestlers work on the indy scene which allow them to make TNA more marketable, and have a bigger fan base...For example, I have watched Shark Boy wrestle for Price of Glory in Coldwater and I am a fan of his, therefore I watch TNA to see if he is on.
-They capitalize on WWE's mistakes and get wrestlers who are released aka, Dudleys, Rhino, Christian and now Angle.
-They have more matches in one hour then Raw has in too.
-They are building up younger stars

WWE Advantages:
-Bringing back old timers like Hacksaw, 2 Cold Scorpio, Henry Godwinn, etc.
-Possible DX vs. nWo feud in the works.
-Jeff Jarrett as NWA Champion
-More titles, which allows more competition
-3 Brands equals 3 TV shows which people see more


I believe there is going to be a lot of backstabbing in the next year or so and some primetime players from WWE will leave...My guess if I had to pick 5, they would be Chris Benoit, Batista, Shelton Benjiman, Kane(he claims he wants to retire), and JBL. All of them are unhappy, not being pushed and want to do more then just wrestle all the time. Can't wait to see how it pans out.



Now you're probably wondering who Scottie Nice is? Scottie is a good friend of mine who I met at Buffalo Wild Wings watching a WWE Pay-Per-View. He is someone I respect the hell out of because he knows his stuff. He's a great guy and is proud of his heritage. He is training to be a wrestler and I wish nothing but the best for him.



I haven't talked about my good friend Noah Lott in a while but he's doing good...Love him like a brother. He is in the Glory Cup next month so of course I am rooting for him but here are my predictions:

Round 1:
Noah Lott defeats Frank Stein
Jimmy Jacbos defeats Josh Abercrombie
CJ Otis defeats Keith Creme
"The Old Timer" Jeff King defeats Chance Lerado

Round 2:
Noah Lott defeat Jimmy Jacobs with interference from Severn
Jeff King defeats CJ Otis

Finals:
Noah Lott defeats Jeff King with help from Bull Wheeler


Well thats all from me. I promise to update more often. Peace out and God Bless

Kurt Angle, Gridiron Gang, the last month

Well I thought Kurt Angle being shipped to ECW was news, last night I recieved news that Kurt Angle is now part of TNA Wrestling. Just think of all the possible match-ups he could have. Sting, Jarrett, Alpha Male, Samoa Joe. I guess Kurt wants to be where the real wrestling is...and now TNA is a competitor. Once WWE guys notice whats going on I believe many will jump ship. Kurt Angle is now the only olympic gold medalist in TNA...It's True, It's True

As much as I don't like talking about the Rock, because of him not wrestling anymore, I went and saw the Gridiron Gang last night. It was a great movie and bery inspirational. I just wish the Rock would come back to the WWE or even go to TNA.

Sorry I haven't updated in last month but between being busy and nothing good happening in wrestling I didn't feel like posting. Summerslam was a huge disappointment, but Raw rebounded with a great ppv in Unforgiven. It was good from top to bottom.I will start updating once again because wrestling is now getting intereting. See ya next week unless something big happens
