----I have been accused sometimes of writing too much negative stuff. I mean one of my favorite phrases [coined by my friend Brian Thompson] is “Do you know what is wrong with the business today?” So, I am going to try to do something a little different today. I am going to just try to write about what is good about the business.
----First, I am glad that we still have promoters in this business that try to put themselves over. It can only be good for the business when the promoter is the champion in their own promotion. They hold back the true talent in the promotion to put themselves over. I mean, why not put themselves over – they own the promotion – they can do what they want to do; right?? It can only help the business as a whole when things like this continue to happen. Every promotion could evolve into putting the promoter over as champion and then they could have a big tournament of promoters vs promoters. There would never be a winner, because none of them would want to put anyone over.
----Workers like Brian Christopher. We need more of them. It would be perfect if all the workers showed up late. If they did show up on time, then maybe they could just sleep until their match. Or sometimes they are so messed up that they have to have someone help them with their boots. If we had more workers like that, then the business in this area would be sooooooo much better. Just think the promoter could just start the show around 10:30 PM, since everyone would not show up until then. The fans would continue to come to the show – because the “stars” work there. Please do not worry about the guys that bust their asses every week to get $10, when you can pay “stars” $500 to show up and act like an ass.
----We need more promotions that continue to promote even though they draw 50 people a week and most of that is family. They usually are promoting so that they can get themselves and friends over. It usually has nothing to do with being a good wrestler or putting on a good product. It usually is a show full of workers that no one else will use because they are so bad. But, this helps the business and keeps guys working, so please continue to do this. It really does not matter where you promote either – get a garage, a hot dog stand or maybe the local crack house – put on that show dammit – it helps the business!!
----There really needs to be more promoters in this area that get pissed off at me and do not send me results. This helps my site and really does help their promotion. I mean why would you want to get free advertisement?? I mean if I say something bad about the promoter or a worker, then that will decrease the attendance; right?? I should just change the way I do my site and just put EVERYONE over; right?? I mean that would make the site great and would help the business in this area. I really do wish I had more promotions in the area like that.
----I also love workers in this area that have never been professionally trained. You know they don’t pay to go to schools. They just have someone teach them how to do a few moves and then they are workers. They do not even buy gear. It is good for our business to wrestle in your jeans and t-shirt. It gets over the fact that anyone – even the dude in the front row could beat your ass. And in the attempt to look like a star, the worker will get a bunch of what I use to call “jail house” tattoos, but damn the guys in jail have better tattoos. Those tattoos make you look cool and get you over along with those damn jeans you are wearing to the ring.
----In conclusion, I would like to thank those promoters that put themselves over, workers like Brian Christopher, promotions that draw 50 people, promoters that stay pissed at me and all those t-shirt nike shoe tattoo wearing workers. You make my job easier and keep me saying, “Do you know what is wrong with this business” every single day of the year!!
