I saw a results-reviews-opinions blog of the show I worked last night. Seeing the card in print made something jump out at me: John Adams vs. Joe Falcone Pat Joseph vs. Garrison Michael Andy Trout vs. Claude Jean Jeremy Spokane vs. Dennis Walters Billy Chapman vs. William Palmer Vic Mercado vs. Rory Malone Alice HudsonContinue reading “Jack Johnson VS John Jackson”

Annoying emo title here
I used the last of my bare-knuckle fighting money to buy a 2007 Kia Sedona with 200,000 miles on it. At least it has room to sleep in it. I keep hoping that Royale’s trunk will show up in the back. I guess it’s really destroyed. Along with all his notes and things he wanted meContinue reading “Annoying emo title here”
At least no one was killed
I was offered a booking in Moline. I didn’t want to take it because of its proximity to Lyons. But I shamed myself into saying yes. What are you going to do? Avoid the entire state of Illinois because of a teenager? I should have done just that. Maybe she would have showed up anyway. Continue reading “At least no one was killed”
I’m looking at you, Ed “Strangler” Lewis
I don’t know if the Scrap Iron Papers are a joke or what they are. But I’ve often thought that at some point there had to have been a wrestling serial killer. It’s the perfect set up for serial killing. You have a profession where you’re on the road all the time, you’re isolated fromContinue reading “I’m looking at you, Ed “Strangler” Lewis”
Did you ever dance with the devil by the pale moonlight?
I don’t often meet fans. Probably because I don’t have fans. Usually my interactions are someone who was at the show sees me at IHOP afterwards and they say something weird about my scars. It’s good to know that so many douchebags would do me even though I’m “all cut up”. A few nights ago,Continue reading “Did you ever dance with the devil by the pale moonlight?”
Feel the power!
Last night I worked at the Alliant Energy PowerHouse. I want to make a joke about it, but I can’t because it’s one of the nicest places I’ve been booked. They got me a room at the Hilton that’s attached to the venue. That’s the first time I’ve ever gotten my room paid for as partContinue reading “Feel the power!”
Caddyshack 3
I worked a show last night at a country club. That’s a new one for me. It was some kind of benefit as far as I could tell. I assume one person on the board is really into wrestling and steamrolled everyone else into doing it. Country clubs and/or charities have boards right? There wereContinue reading “Caddyshack 3”
Hack/Slash
Sometimes I think this blog is just me venting about what I don’t like about wrestling. I don’t mind when someone has a prop they bring to the ring. Baseball bat. “Singapore” cane. Magic urn. Branding iron. Mjolnir. That’s all fine. What bugs me is when someone has a prop that can’t be used. TripleContinue reading “Hack/Slash”
Promotional consideration (not) paid for by the following (out of character)
I don’t know if any of the four people that read this are actual wrestling fans (I know two of them are not) but if you are, I wanted to let you know that if you like reading wrestling you need to know about Slammed!, which is of course an epic interactive professional-wrestling novel. AsContinue reading “Promotional consideration (not) paid for by the following (out of character)”
King of the losers
I answer my phone all the time to numbers I don’t know. When you’re at the bottom of the heap, the difference between calling someone back and picking up the first time can be the difference between getting booked and not. Ergo I talk to a lot of flakes and cranks. A guy called todayContinue reading “King of the losers”
