Disclaimer – Sometimes you might wonder what the point of these stories are… I’ll be honest, sometimes there isn’t going to be any meaning to what I’m blogging about. I just simply want to share these really cool moments I get to experience. I get to experience these wonderful moments because I work in “The Business.” I work in wrestling, that might not mean much to a non fan, but to wrestling fans, being a full time wrestling employee, like I am, is the Holy Grail.
The wrestling business is my full time job, my “shoot” job & this blog details the fun I experience in our wacky world of wrestling… ENJOY!

I worked my second event for Heroes of Wrestling last week. Color Commentary. I freaking love it. I love the job, I love the promotion, my commentary partner (which is also my boss lol), the wrestlers, everything is going great there.
I want Heroes to be my one constent. I want to travel everywhere to wrestle but I’d love for Heroes to keep me right where I’m at so every 3rd Sunday of the month I know that I’m going to either be on Dish Network, YouTube or Facebook doing Color Commentary.
As far as I know we haven’t gotten any new info on when & where we will be on Dish Network… BUT I CAN’T WAIT!
I am jumping at the chance to show off that I have what it takes to be a great commentator to a large audience & that is exactly what I’m going to do when we do get on Dish.

Being an employee of Heroes of Wrestling has given me the oppertunity to become friends with some great up & coming wrestlers based out of Houston Texas, Booker T’s Reality of Wrestling Training Academy to be exact, two of them being Brock Baker & Will Allday.
Let me tell you, these two guys are going places. It’s not “If” they’ll make it big, it’s “When” they’ll make it big. mark my words on that.
Plus, they are just all round awesome guys, I’ve been picking their brains about my character & they have both been so helpful. Guys, if y’all are reading this, I’m sorry if I’ve bored the shit outta you with questions about my character & in ring stuff. hahaha. I will make it up to both of you! Thank you both!

Yesterday on our DAILY show (Indy Wrestling Radio) my co host, Floyd, mentioned Iceman King Parsons & so i wanted to share this story about my experience with him.
We were working a show in Dallas in April & after our pre show meeting he grabbed me by the arm & told him that he wanted to make sure that I was proud of what i was contributing to the business.
he had heard me tell my boss all the websites that I was in contact with about getting our show results out to them. I had been working hard on getting our name out there & he just wanted to make sure that I knew that i was appreciated & that I should be proud of that.
It was such an awesome thing for him to do. It didn’t take him but 20 seconds to tell me to “be proud of what I’m doing in this business.” 20 seconds & it left a huge impact on what I think about the business. 20 seconds & here we are 5 months later & I’m still thinking (& blogging) about the moment.

You know, the meeting that we were in, one of the topics was making sure that your punches looked crisp. Chavo told us that if “your punches looked like shit, you don’t need to be throwing punches.” lol well, i obviously wasn’t wrestling yet but at that time i was thinking seriously about starting, so i was hanging on every word that all the veterans were saying. He saw me analyzing every word that was said & so he took a second to address the whole lot of us.
So he gave us some huge tips on how to work on our punches. He gave us those tips while looking at me the entire time. The whole time I’m sitting there thinking about how this was “Iceman” King Parsons teaching me how to throw a punch, HOW COOL, RIGHT?!
I’m not going to share his secrets, but I’m going to take full advantage of knowing the secret now that I’m training.

Speaking of training, I have not trained in over 45 days. I sprained my ankle & I haven’t been back in the gym yet. IT. FREAKING. SUCKS.
I did run for the first time today, though. So, that is a step in the right direction. I’m going to do cardio everyday this week & if I don’t feel any major tightness or swelling or any problems at all for that matter, I’m going to start back at the academy next Tuesday.
It’s been extremely disheartening not being able to train. I feel like a wimp getting hurt so quickly into my training.
Chandler Hopkins, one of the wrestling Blue Chippers in Oklahoma (seriously, one of the absolute best in the state) gave me some great advice on taking care of the injury, getting an ankle brace & MOST IMPORTANTLY how to deal with it on a mental level.
I was getting really down, it didn’t seem to be getting any better & I was growing antsy & restless. He reminded me that if i went back too soon I was only going to make things worse.
Thank God that he talked me down because I was seriously about ready to go back & now looking back on the situation, I know that I would of just made matters worse, I would of been out longer & I might of done some serious pernament damage to my ankle.
So Chandler, if you are reading this, THANK YOU!

Dude, What the hell happened last night on RAW to Liv Morgan?? Who in the hell made the call to keep her in the match?? Whoever it was should be fired.
Last night Brie Bella was performing some “Yes Kicks” on her & accidently kicked her in the face… twice.
Now I know that that is her husbands gimmick & it makes 100% sense that she is doing the move set, I get it, I’m not really blaming Liv getting kicked in the face on Brie. Accidents happen, I get that. But, Brie, just like everyone else in that ring & the crew around said ring should of known that she needed help.
The minute she went out cold they should of stopped the match & taken C-spine precautions to ensure if there was a neck injury that they didn’t make it any worse.
I think I’m gonna wait & see what happens with the whole situation before I go into great detail about it, maybe I’ll blog about it at length later in the week after I see the replays & get some other opinions about it.
But I worked in emergency medicine for 7 years as a Firefighter/Paramedic & Flight Paramedic & I can tell you that it was extremely dangerous to be jerking her around like that instead of securing her neck.
That match was not so important that you couldn’t stop the match & use a backboard to get her to the back. So what if it turns out her neck is fine, better safe than sorry.

Thank you guys for checking out the blog!! It’s been getting tons of traffic & nothing but great reviews, so truly, thank you!
