NEWS & NOTES

SEPTEMBER 2001


2001.09.24 On Sunday, The Fraternity (Zach Avery and I) faced the Repeat Offenders (Homicide and Vandal) in tag team action at another amazing IWA Gym Wars production. We had a decent match but it was nothing compared to the main event: DDK vs. Super Hugo, those guys delivered something special.

The new IWA hotline (614/470-3893) is up and running.

In other news, (to steal a line from Jim Ross) business is about to pick up. I have events scheduled for each of the next 8 weeks. This Saturday kicks off the mini-tour as Al B. Damm and I will lock up (yet again) in singles action at the PCW event in Jackson, Ohio.

2001.09.17 In the wake of a horrible week, Fabulous Frederick of Hollywood, Al B. Damm, and I pushed forward with a trip we have been planning for several weeks. Friday morning we set out for Missouri. Click here.
New photos added to the media section.

2001.09.10 This was an exciting weekend featuring "The Fraternity" (Zach Avery and me) against the bland (pun intended) new tandem known as "The Minionites". I don't remember their names so for the purpose of this story they will be known as Zeke and Jebediah. The Minionites, are tough in appearance: black pants held up with black suspenders, black shoes, white button down shirts. They were quite a sight. The Holy Man did not do a very good job of preparing these gentlemen for action in the squared circle.

2001.09.04 Labor Day Weekend was wonderful. It was nice to spend the three-day weekend with close family friends. The downside was, I ate large amounts of food that didn't necessarily contain appropriate nutritional elements. One day or weekend (of poor eating) is not the end of the world.

I had a good chest and back workout on Saturday. I also ran 3 miles for the first time in years. On Sunday, I participated in the IWA Gym Wars show. Sunday shows are certainly fun. Fabulous Frederick of Hollywood and I had plenty of fun. On Monday morning, I ran just shy of 2 miles. It is important to note I am an awful runner. This morning (Tuesday) I arose at 5:30 am and made my way to the gym as I do 3 times every week. Upon my arrival, Carlton Cornelius Kaz, III was already hard at work on a stationary bike. So, my exercise routine did not suffer too greatly over the course of the long weekend.

Wrestling is just like anything else in life, you only get back [a fraction of] what you put in. If the only thing you are willing to put in is 10-minutes (a match) once a month, you shouldn't be surprised or upset with what you get back. To put it more eloquently, you reap what you sow.
