August 5th

 
         How is everyone today?  Well, I hope.  I know I’m personally sore as all hell.  There isn’t a place on my body that isn’t sore.  Saturday was a miserable fucking day.  Before the show I was working out in the ring and the top rope broke and I twisted my ankle in the process.  If that wasn’t bad enough during my match the top rope, yet again was loose as hell.  I hit it and the son of a bitch rolled up over my shoulders and then snapped the back of my neck giving me a severe case of whiplash.  I know accidents happen in this business so I’m sure as hell not going to complain about getting injured on accident.  What I will bitch about is TJ fucking Phillips.  That son of a bitch saw what happened with the rope and then took the cheapest way out of the match and targeted in on my already injured neck. 
 
         TJ beat on my neck mercilessly.  I was in so much pain I couldn’t focus on anything but the pain.  I can still barely move my head to the left or right.  As many of you may know TJ stole my snake last week in Greenwood, which pissed me off, so as soon as he got to the building in Sistersville I jumped him and took back what was mine.  Unfortunately, after the severe beating TJ put on my neck he yet again left the ring with my beloved Jezabel.  No, that is leaving one small detail out.  Before leaving with my baby, that mother fucker took a steel chair and beat her.  TJ, rest assured next time I see you in Sistersville your ass is mine.  I’m sick of the games, I’m sick of the bullshit, and I am sick and fucking tired of you!!!!  Just one fucking time I would like to see you be a man and give me a clean one on one match with no bullshit, but I am guessing that isn’t going to happen so next time I see you I am just going to stoop to your level and just beat the ever living shit out of you!!!!!  This shit is personal now!!!!!
 
         Many years ago wrestling was a very hard business to get into.  You had to know someone that knew someone that knew someone that might be able to get you a shot at a try-out for training.  Now a days it isn’t as hard as it once was.  Trainers don’t put trainees through hell anymore, they don’t make trainees pay dues anymore, hell a lot of them don’t even train the trainees.  In fact untrained and half trained people are the biggest problem with this business.  I’m not going to mention anyone by name (Rico or as the fans refer to him as “Super Queer”) but this son of a bitch gets on my nerves.  Most wrestling fans know what shoot interviews are, for those of you that don’t a shoot interview is when a wrestler tells his true feelings about whatever he or she is talking about.  In this case I am going to definitely be shooting on Rico. 
 
         Rico is the type of scum that doesn’t need to be anywhere near a wrestling ring.  He is a disrespectful pile of shit!!!  This guy shows up for training two or three times and then thinks he is a trained wrestler.  Rico has not been trained and does not know how to wrestle without getting hurt.  Every wrestler I know has spent years paying dues and training.  I remember when I got started I sat up the ring before the show and tore it down after, and I did this for years.  Not Rico though, he did it for a few months and then it became too much work.  Rico thought he was better than that, he was above paying his dues.  By not paying his dues, he is definitely going against tradition and pissing in the face of every wrestler that came before him.
 
         Now lets go farther, wrestling has always been a business based on respect.  When a trained wrestler gets to the building he walks around and says hello to each and every person there.  Not Rico, yet again he is above all of that.  Rico is so great that he only has to say hello to the people he feels worthy of talking to.  This mother fucker has no training and no respect and he walks around like his ass is made of gold. 
 
         The high and mighty Rico was put in a match that he never should have been in Saturday night.  When I say he shouldn’t have been in the match I mean he shouldn’t have been anywhere near the ring during the show.  Wrestling is extremely dangerous and if you aren’t properly trained you will either get hurt or you will hurt someone else.  As to be expected, the sorry piece of shit got hurt.  He was out wrestled, believe it or not, the high and mighty Rico fucked up everything that he did.  I know that it is hard to believe, but he did.  I watched the whole match.  He fucked up everything and couldn’t even do the simplest of maneuvers.
 
         As I said though, this dumb fuck gets hurt.  He got hurt in the middle of a move called a monkey flip.  Now, lets think about this for a minute, the name of the move is “monkey flip”. The name alone tells you that in the process of the move you will be flipping.  Not the great Rico, he wasn’t smart enough to put two and two together.  Instead of flipping, the dumb shit fell, driving his own chin into his opponents knees, and chipping his own tooth.  Had he been trained he would have never got hurt and that is a fact.  I can’t wait until the next time I see Sir Rico so I can tell him exactly what I think.  It was his own damn fault he got hurt and I will do everything in my power to make damn sure he is not in the ring again until he is trained and learns the meaning of the word respect. 
 
         Just one more interesting fact about the cock sucking Rico, not only did he get hurt he whined and cried to his buddy and blamed it on his opponent that he got hurt.  Even after getting hurt he still isn’t willing to admit that he fucked up.  Rico is not only untrained but that’s right ladies and gentlemen he is also a lying fucking baby!!!!!!!  He went and cried about getting hurt.  Rico had the nerve to say that his opponent intentionally hurt him, which is not true.  Everything is ok though, people like this eventually get what they have coming to them.  It is almost a guarantee that at some point in time someone is going to get Rico in the ring and teach him the lesson that he deserves. 
 
         Bottom line Rico is a bottom feeding worthless disrespectful fuck that has no business anywhere near a wrestling ring.  The ironic thing is after seeing Rico’s recent display or childishness and seeing what kind of man he really is I fully understand why his wife was caught in the back fucking the boys. She must have wanted to see what it was like being with a real man, because god knows Rico is nothing more than a whiney little bitch!!!!  Oh and just so you know, more than one of the boys had his way with your wife.  I’m not going to stooge anyone off, but from what I hear your wife loved being fucked by real men instead of by a bitch like you!!!
 
         Rico is a prime example of one sad fact in this business.  It doesn’t matter how talented you are, what matters is how well you can suck someone’s dick.  It is just a damn shame that a locker room full of talent has to be subjected to the disrespectful untalented fuck because he is willing to drop to his knees and suck a dick.  Oh well, the rest of us can go to bed at night knowing we are where we are because of our talent, while Rico will always know he only has a spot because of his fellatio abilities.  In simple terms, fuck you Rico!!!!!
 
         Enough about that fuck-nut I already wasted a lot more time and effort than he deserves.  I just recently watched ‘An American Crime‘.  Theatrically I didn’t like it, I thought that it could have been done a lot better.  However, I thought the story came across extremely well.  The movie was based on true events and actual transcripts from the trail of Gertrude Baniszewski.  Gertrude allowed and instigated the torture and murder of Sylvia Likens.
 
         The story is a very brutal story.  Sylvia and her sister were left with Gertrude by her parents while her parents were on the road working.  The first check that Sylvia’s parents sent was a couple days late and Gertrude beat both of the girls with a belt, setting the tone for the rest of the movie.  Through out the entire movie Sylvia was brutally punished for things that she did not do.  At one point she was forced to shove a coke bottle into her vagina and then was thrown into the basement.  Once she was locked in the basement that is where the real brutality came into play.  The neighborhood kids were allowed to come in, they kicked her, punched her, burned her with cigarettes and any other thing you can think of.  It even went as far as Gertrude carving into Sylvia’s stomach, “I am a prostitute and proud of it.”
 
         Ultimately the little girl died.  This is one of the most publicized cases of child abuse and neglect in American history.  I can’t understand how someone could stoop to those level’s to discipline a child.  It is one thing to smack your kid’s ass.  I get that, hell, I don’t see any thing wrong with smacking a kid’s ass.  My father smacked my ass and I turned out just fine.  It is just disgusting knowing that some people will flat out torture a child as a form of discipline.  Hell it wasn’t even her kid that Gertrude tortured.  I guess it goes to show that we as parents really have to scrutinize the people watching our children while we are at work.  I know if someone ever treated my daughter like that they wouldn’t have to worry about going to trial I would kill them my-damn-self.
 
         Unfortunately this is a crime that happens daily.  There are many children being abused as I type this and as you read this.  In my opinion abuse isn’t limited to just beating kids, I feel it also entails allowing children to become obese.  Childhood obesity is a problem we face here in America and I think that in some cases it is a form of abuse.  I know a little girl that is either seven or eight years old who wears a size 16-18 in women’s sizes.  That is a severe problem.  Not only is it going to cause many health issues, this little girls weight is also going to be the cause of lots of ridicule from other children in school.  The reason I think that cases like this are abuse is simple.  Every time a doctor tells this little girls parents that she is MORBIDLY obese, they switch doctors. 
 
         None the less, if you know of a kid that is being abused don’t just look away, by looking away you are part of the problem.  In the case of Sylvia Likens, the neighbors could hear her screaming and did absolutely nothing.  The neighbors would stand outside of the house and listen to her screams then discuss between each other why they should not get involved.  I think that had Gertrude’s neighbors got involved when they heard Sylvia’s screams, Sylvia maybe alive and well today.  I don’t know that for a fact, but it makes logical sense. 
 
         Now on the flip side of that I think that some people misconstrue child abuse as well.  I don’t think there is anything at all wrong with smacking your kids ass when they don’t listen or smacking their fingers for touching stuff they aren’t allowed to touch.  That is just my opinion and I will stick to that opinion until the day I die.  Hell, I have smacked my daughter’s ass on more than one occasion, but if you talk to anyone that knows Jezabel they will tell you that she is one of the best behaved six year olds in the world.
 
         I will not recommend this movie for entertainment value, because quite frankly I don’t see much entertainment in a young child being tortured and murdered.  I will however, recommend the movie as a great eye opener to the problems we have in this country and will continue to have until more people get involved instead of just pretending it doesn’t exist.
 
         Another point I would like to make about ‘An American Crime’ ties into something I was talking about recently.  Some people find porn obscene. So much so that there are groups against adult entertainment lobby congress to ban it.  I wonder if these same people also find it obscene to exploit a little girls torture and ultimate death so a few people in Hollywood can get rich.  I think what you see and hear in the movie is far more offensive than what you will ever see in adult movies.  Just a little food for thought.
 
         ‘Definitely, Maybe’ on the other hand is a movie I give two thumbs up.  The movie has the most adorable little girl in it.  I can’t remember the actresses name, but she made the movie.  Very mature and comical the whole way through.  In all honesty guys, it is a chic flick, but it is one worth watching.  You will laugh and you may even cry here and there while you are watching the movie.  I highly recommend it.  It has a great little story.  I don’t want to get into too many details because I don’t want to ruin it for those of you that haven’t seen it.  Like I said though, the little girl makes the film.  Go down to your local video store and rent or buy yourself a copy of ‘Definitely, Maybe’, you won’t be disappointed!!!!
 
         Suicide is a topic that is floating around in my head the past few days.  A friend of mine texted me at about 4 in the morning to talk.  I guess one of their close friends decided to hang himself.  So it got me thinking about many years ago when a friend of mine decided to blow his head off.  I remembered it like it was yesterday.  Seems I’ve been remembering things a lot lately, oh well. I’m not getting into details about my friend or theirs.  I just want to talk about suicide in general.
 
         I may have been a bit harsh.  I said, “Committing suicide is a very selfish thing to do.  Proving that he only cared about himself and not the feelings of others.” Those were the words from a wise old man said to me after my friend died. I didn’t think about how they affected me the first time I heard them. It wasn’t until a little later in life that I grew to truly understand them.
 
         I still stand by that statement and believe it to be right.  People that commit suicide truly don’t care about the people they are leaving behind.  If they did care, they wouldn’t kill themselves in the first place.  Anyway, there are two main points I want to make.  Number one, I don’t care how hard life gets there is no reason anyone should ever kill themselves.  We all get knocked down in life, life is about getting back up and fighting back harder than ever before.  If you kill yourself you aren’t fighting back you are taking the easy way out and doing nothing but hurting the people that loved and cared about you.
 
         Point two, watch how you give advice to your friends, they may not like it.  Since repeating the words said to me years ago my friend is no longer speaking to me.  I still stand by my words, I just wish that my friend had not taken it the wrong way.  I guess life moves on and perhaps one day they will realize that I wasn’t trying to be a dick, just trying to give them a little advise with the hope that they wouldn’t be as upset or would be able to get over their loss.  But as I said such is life.
 
         Last week I told you that I had some news for you that would blow your mind, and well, I still do.  There is a small problem with telling you the news.  There is video footage to go along with the story and due to technical difficulties I can’t put the video online at this time.  I don’t have the proper software to convert it from one type of file to another.  Once I have the ability to post the video online I will tell you what the exciting news is.  I will say this, it involves The Honky Tonk Man, Jake The Snake Roberts, and myself.  Unfortunately that is all I can say at this time until I have the video ready.
 
Until next time,
