LOTS O CRAP
WELL.. FIRST LET ME SAY, HELLO, AND HAPPY HO-HO! I DO NOT USUALLY PUT PERSONAL STUFF HERE.. I LIKE TO MAINTAIN THIS PAGE FOR DUSTY AND NOT FOR MYSELF..BUT DUE TO RECENT EVENTS AND THE NUMEROUS MESSAGES AND QUESTIONS I FELT I SHOULD PUT SOME ANSWERS OUT THERE... SO ....HERE GOES...
AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS OF NOT FEELING WELL, I FINALLY
FORCED MYSELF TO GO TO THE DOCTOR... AFTER MANY TESTS
AND A TON OF WAITING, I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH COLON
CANCER.. THERE WAS ALSO SOME CONCERNS IT MAY HAVE
SPREAD TO MY KIDNEYS....THIS WAS IN SEPTEMBER... WHICH
ALSO HAPPENS TO BE JUST ABOUT THE TIME WE WERE ABOUT TO
REALLY LAUNCH THE GWA/WAR PROMOTION INTO OVERDRIVE
AND TRY TO DO WHAT NOONE ELSE THOUGHT POSSIBLE... PUT
ASSES IN THE SEATS EACH AND EVERY MONTH WITH TOP NOTCH
STORY LINES AND SOME OF THE BEST TALENT AVAILABLE IN THE
MIDWEST.... NEEDLESS TO SAY... REAL LIFE HAS A WAY OF
SLAPPING YOU RIGHT IN YOUR BALLS.. AFTER MUCH
DELIBERATION IT WAS DECIDED THAT WE SHOULD PUT
EVERYTHING ON HOLD AND TRY TO GET HEALTHY... COULD WE
HAVE CONTINUED TO RUN SHOWS WHILE THIS HAPPENED?
PROBABLY... BUT WITH THE AMOUNT OF TIME,EFFORT, AND
MONEY THAT GOES INTO RUNNING THESE SHOWS, I DIDNT FEEL I
WOULD BE ABLE TO KEEP UP WITH IT.. ON TOP OF THAT, THE
GREATEST ALLIE AND PARTNER I HAVE, HAD JUST HAD TO MOVE
BACK TO COLUMBUS.. NOT TO MENTION I DO HAVE A REAL JOB
THAT PAYS MY BILLS AND LETS ME DO THE WRESTLING
THING'S.. WITHOUT KNOWING FOR SURE WHAT THE FUTURE
WOULD HOLD, IT JUST SEEMED FOOLISH TO TRY AND CONTINUE
AND TAKE A CHANCE ON HAVING TO BE OUT OF WORK FOR AN
EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME AND NOT BE ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF
MY FAMILY..SO ON OCTOBER 4TH, I HAD TO GO INTO THE UAW
HALL AND TELL MY OTHER FAMILY THAT WE WERE NOT GOING
TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE BUILDING OUR DREAM FOR THE TIME
BEING...LET ME TELL YOU..THAT WAS ONE OF THE HARDEST
THINGS I HAVE EVER HAD TO DO.. I FELT LIKE I WAS LETTING SO
MANY PEOPLE DOWN..PEOPLE WHO HAD DONE SO MUCH FOR ME
AND LIMA'S WRESTLING SCENE... NOT TO MENTION ALL THE
GREAT FANS WHO CAME OUT AND SLAPPED DOWN THEIR HARD
EARNED MONEY...EVEN IF THEY COULDNT AFFORD IT, THEY
SEEMED TO MAKE IT THERE SOMEHOW..THAT NIGHT I FELT OUR
GUYS WENT OUT THERE AND GAVE SOME OF THE BEST DAMN
PERFORMANCES I HAVE EVER SEEN... AS THEY ALWAYS DID..
LONG STORY SHORT...ON DECEMBER 5TH I HAD SURGERY TO
REMOVE THE GROWTH IN MY COLON..SO HOPEFULLY I SHOULD
RECOVER COMPLETELY FROM THAT...AND IN THE GOOD
NEWS/BAD NEWS DEPT. NO CANCER WAS FOUND IN MY
KIDNEYS..ON THE OTHER HAND.. I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH
ALPORT SYNDROME.. WHICH MEANS THAT EVENTUALLY MY
KIDNEYS WILL FAIL AND I WILL EITHER NEED A TRANSPLANT OR
DIALYSIS.. DONT KNOW HOW QUICK ANY OF THAT WILL TAKE
PLACE.. ALL I KNOW FOR SURE IS I AM HERE TODAY AND PLAN
ON LIVING MY LIFE TO THE FULLEST AS I ALWAYS HAVE..
WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE WAR WRESTLING? I HAVE NO IDEA.. I
WOULD LOVE TO GET WITH BIG TOM AND PUT TOGETHER THE
BEST DAMN INDY SHOWS PEOPLE HAVE EVER SEEN. SUPPOSE WE
WILL HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE...NO OFFENSE TO ANY OTHER
PROMOTERS OUT THERE, I JUST FEEL SOME OF YOU SHOULD
MAYBE PICK A DIFFERENT HOBBY BECAUSE ALL YOU ARE DOING
IS KILLING THE BUSINESS I LOVE AND HAVE WORKED HARD
FOR..THERE ARE A FEW WHO DO IT AND DO IT RIGHT..AND TO YOU
GUYS I SAY KEEP IT UP BROTHERS! AND TO YOU GUYS WHO FEEL
OFFENDED OR SOMETHING ALL I CAN SAY IS.. HOW MANY OF
YOU WERE TRAINED BY ONE OF THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS,
BOTH AT WORKING AND RUNNING A PROMINENT PROMOTION?
HOW MANY OF YOU ACTUALLY WANTED TO LEARN YOUR CRAFT
EVEN BETTER AND WENT TO TRAIN WITH A LEGEND IN THE
BUSINESS? HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE EVER ACCEPTED
CRITICISM FROM SOMEONE AND THOUGHT THEY WERE TRYING
TO MAKE YOU AND THE BUSINESS BETTER RATHER THAN
GETTING PISSED AND THINKING YOU WERE SO GOOD YOU DIDNT
NEED HELP FROM ANYONE ELSE? I CAN NOT TELL YOU EXACTLY
HOW MANY BUT I KNOW THERE ARE NOT VERY DAMN MANY..
FACE IT IF YOU WERE THAT GREAT YOU WOULD HAVE A JOB IN
WWE OR TNA ALREADY.. AND BEFORE YOU SAY ANYTHING.. YES
I HAVE BEEN THERE DONE THAT... MY PROBLEM IS NOT IN THE
RING OR IN MY THINKING.. ITS IN MY MOUTH..
LOTS OF RAMBLING I KNOW BUT I HOPE I HAVE SHED SOME
LIGHT ON THINGS FOR THOSE THAT DO CARE.. TOO ALL THE
FANS...THANK YOU ,THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! TO ALL THE
GUYS THAT I HAVE WORKED WITH IN ANY CAPACITY, THANK
YOU AND I HOPE I WASNT TOO STIFF.. TOM, A SPECIAL THANK
YOU TO YOU.. YOU ARE THE YING TO MY YANG.. THE BLACK TO
MY WHITE.. AS OPPOSITE AS WE ARE.. WE ARE BETTER TOGETHER
THAN WE ARE APART..I THINK SO AT LEAST...
WE'LL SEE WHERE THIS CRAZY RIDE TAKES ME... IN THE END ALL I
CARE IS THAT I HAVE HAD A GOOD TIME AND MAYBE.. JUST
MAYBE.. MADE SOMEONE ELSES DAY A LITTLE BETTER..
