I live in the Midwest, a hotbed for Independent Wrestling. I have worked in Television for the last 13+ years. I have been a fan of wrestling my whole life, growing up with names like Hulk Hogan, Shawn Michaels, and Randy Savage. I was a big Hulkamaniac early on, but now I'm not sure why. During the last several years, I have become a bigger and biger fan of independent wrestling, watching Ring of Honor and slowly immersing myself in other Indy companies. During much of 2009, I had the opportunity to work with a small company based in the city I live in, Pro Wrestling Next, where I ran camera at ringside, writing columns for their message boards, as well as helping promote the shows. When PWN closed, I took a month or two away from working with wresting, only to come back and focus on my writing.

“Angles” – Why I Do It
Mar 5th
Often times I am asked by my friends and family why I go out of my way to watch and enjoy the wrestling business. I put forth a lot of effort watching wrestling, writing reviews and columns, and not getting paid for it. In fact, it’s just the opposite a lot of times. But, I defend myself because it’s not about the money. Well not completely. During my two trips over the last two weekends, I had a chance to give this some thought and felt that it was the best topic for this week. More >

AAW Presents My Bloody Valentine
February 27th, 2010 – Berwyn Eagles Club, Berwyn, IL
AAW, Wrestling Redefined had another banner moment in Midwest wrestling as they presented My Bloody Valentine. On the announced card Colt Cabana would defend his AAW Heritage Championship against “The Anarchist” Arik Cannon in a 2 out of 3 falls match. For the second week in a row, Shane Hollister would challenge Silas Young for the AAW Heavyweight Championship, having earned both title shots (defeating Tyler Black at The Chaos Theory in January and winning a Battle Royal last week in Davenport). The main event of the night would see Tyler Black and Jimmy Jacobs (the reunited Age of the Fall) have a rematch against the House of Truth for the AAW Tag Team Championships they won last weekend in Davenport. All this and more was scheduled for My Bloody Valentine and I can tell you it was well worth the trip. More >

We are on the heels of Elimination Chamber an it’s time for Friday Night Smackdown. We see highlights from the Elimination Chamber match for the Smackdown World Heavyweight Championship. Shawn Michaels, to get his shot at the Undertaker, screwed the Champ out of his title with a superkick. Chris Jericho then took over, claiming the prize for the 6th time, and that’s how this show starts off. More >
“Angles” – NXT Evolution
Feb 26th
Tuesday night, the WWE launched their new program, NXT, dubbing it the Next Evolution of Professional Wrestling. Eight young stars made their WWE Television debut on Tuesday night. They were all paired with a current WWE Superstar, the most prominent of which has to be The Miz and Daniel Bryan (aka Bryan Danielson). I’ve been a fan of Danielson’s since I was first introduced to Ring of Honor about two and a half years ago and on the first show, he looks to be the headliner, but he’s not the only name on the list for NXT. Here’s my take on the program. More >
