respected indy pro wrestling vet, and would never do anything to anyone on purpose. Now Dave has been known to be a bit stiff or tight from time to time but he is just "old school" like that, a true pro. Again, this is not the case here or what happened.I am trying not to break Kayfabe here, I will say this as simply as I can. Moose got injured his match, it happens sometimes. Anyone who has ever been in the ring for a while can tell you about plenty of injuries, it comes with being a wrestler as a whole. Ask anyone that's been there for a while. I am sorry Moose got a black eye, but it happens sometimes. He did not need to go running out of the ring screaming for his wife, his bag and then out the arena door.
He should have just got out of the ring, came to the back (Dressing Room), and we would have sorted it out from there. Just like anything that goes wrong in the ring, at least we could have counted him out, while we checked him out and sent him to a doctor. That's what upset most of us. But he is still new, this is probably a first time injury. I guess he is still learning after only being in the ring for almost a year. And I don't say that in a bad way, everyone has to start somewhere. His journey is only just begun. He knew when he signed MEWA hold harmless agreements, and got his license to work, what he was doing was dangerous. Its dangerous to every wrestler. MEWA is a legitimate wrestling promotion, that is bonded and licensed by the state, we comply and do everything "by the book" here. There is no foul play here. Just a Rookie worker (and I do not mean rookie in a bad way, again you have to start somewhere) who got injured in a match and thinks it must have been some "conspiracy" out of his excitement and worry. That is all. He should have handled this whole thing better, rather than pointing fingers and airing it out here. Again, most of us have, been there, done that, so there is no heat, just disappointment.
There is no Anti - Moo
se conspiracy. lol That's just ridiculous. There was not any heat with him from anyone at MEWA. I, nor anyone else I ever worked or knew, ever made a spectacle of an injury unless it was written that way. That is not the case here. There is a picture posted here of when I had my nose broken in 2 places during a match, no one was to blame, I took a few the hard way that night and finished the match let the shot caller look at it, then went to a doctor. Pretty much standard procedure. It just happens sometimes. That is just one of many injuries you can receive in the ring, it is a dangerous sport.We here at MEWA are sorry for Moose's injury, but, what happened to Moose happens to every wrestler once in a while, again, sometimes you get hurt. Maybe Moose had his feelings hurt or something, again we are sorry. Everyone seems to elaborate something when you are hurt, excited and have the adrenaline flowing. If Moose chooses to leave MEWA over it, well all we can do is wish him well and all the best in his endeavors. This is all the attention this is worth giving from us. Buck up kiddies, wrestling is a violent sport. Is it not? Again, don't be ridiculous.
So please get your facts straight before you go posting anything. You should post this. You say you're not about putting anyone over, then why did you post that? That is very one sided and may even be slander or liable.
