In the middle of May, I had gotten pretty sick. I wasn't throwing up blood or anything, but my body was in pain, a lot of pain. It wasn't non-stop pa
Hello Everybody! Randomly updating this thing because I haven't since Feb apprently. Sorry about that. there's no excuse for me not updating this...just haven't done it.
So since I haven't updated this thing in such long time, I'll go ahead and talk about a few things that I've done here and there.
The first thing I'm going to discuss is my experiance working for a new company out here in CA called Big League Wrestling..or BLW for short. They were using DMW's ring so I got automatical
Two weeks ago, WCWA returned. WCWA was the promotion I started training with in California back in mid 2005, but closed it's doors by the end of 2006. When I found out that WCWA was returning, I was pretty happy about it. It was going to be nice working for them again. I never got a chance to Ref for WCWA when I started out as I was just there sound guy and training and I actually didn't start learning on how to Referee until I was training with Devil Mountain.
Going to go Referee for WCWA
Later today, I head down to CCW. I haven't been at CCW for the past two months. Lacks of funds and schduling conflicts, I couldn't make it, but I'm working the show later today.
It'll be nice to go back to CCW. I really like the locker room as the locker room is filled with guys who just want to put on a good show and have a lot of fun. Plus it should be pretty intresting because of where the locker room is. The locker room is outside and it's been raining pretty much all week long. So depe
There's still only a few more weeks of 2007 but wrestling wise, there's no more shows I'm apart of. So I can go ahead and give 2007 a review wrestling wise.
2007 was a great year for me wrestling wise. I did so much and I accomplished a whole hell of a lot, in such a very short span of time. If you would have told me in Oct. of 2006 that I would Ref outside of California, work with former WWE/ECW wrestlers along with current TNA wrestlers, Referee at the Cow Palace, and to end it all, work
On Saturday night (12/15) I had my first offical pro match at Devil Mountain Wrestling. Well technically my first match was the Halloween Battleroyal that took place in Oct, but I'm not counting that match, so the match over the weekend was my first offical match.
The night started with me cutting a promo after the first match..that I fucking butchered. I kinda had certain points I wanted to get over but I think I tried to structure it to much and tried to hard to get those certain points
Yup, next month in Dec. on the 15th, I make my in-ring pro wrestling debut and that's because 3 guys decided to beat me up at the last Devil Mountain Wrestling show. Yup....three international assholes decided to blantly take me out, so next month on the 15, Ref Toby doesn't count anymore, Ref Toby gets payback!
Yes, I know, that was corny. I haven't quite figured out the art of the face promo yet. It's a work in progress, and I'm kinda getting there but doing the face promo in all serious
If the WrestleFanFest weekend wasn't long enough, this past weekend certainly was. I ended up having a total of four shows over pre-Halloween weekend, two Rocky Horrors and two wrestling shows...but I'll skip the Rocky Horror shows because I know you guys read my blog for Pro Wrestling, not for my adventures in Rocky Horror land.
On Saturday CCW was running a show at their brand new studio. Well ok, it wasn't brand new as they ran there last month but it was at least new...right? I was imp
It's now Sunday, and I've overslept. I was asked to be at the Cow Palace at 9 in the morning and I might be booked on the AWA show that is happening at 11..or noon. There was a AWA show happening, around that timeframe and that's all I knew, but I overslept and woke up at 11:00 or 11:30. I didn't get home till about 4 in the morning Saturday due to be at Rocky Horror, and when I got home, I just crashed out. I was so dead tired.
I actually did wake up at 10:00, but that's because I was in
Now it's Saturday, and everything still feels surreal. I still can't believe I got to Ref the matches that I Ref'ed and I still can't believe I shared a locker room with guys who I grew up watching and being in awe of. Myself and the Ultimo Dragon got dressed in the same locker room and for those who don't know, Ultimo is one of my heroes. I honestly feel that if I quit today and never looked back, I'd be happy with what I've done, but I still had a weekend to finish.
So now it's Saturday a
(Matches I'm in will be told in Kayfabe. I'm not going to disrespect the guys who I worked with by talking about the behind the scenes stuff.)
Now it's showtime and I'm a wee bit nervous. I'm in the Cow Palace, around all of these big name workers, and the crowd is nice and hot. It's not a big crowd, but the first 4 or 5 rows are pretty much filled up, and the crowd is hot. I can't complain I'm just happy there's a crowd and they're not dead. The advertised card was changed all the way arou
Now that WrestleFanFest is over, I can happily blog about....well about my experiance anyways, but I'm doing to do it in parts, starting with day 1, Friday the 19th, which will be done in two parts. :0)
Friday was going to be a long tire-some day for me and I knew it. I was excited about it, but I just knew it was going to be a long tiresome day. Mainly because of my day job. For my day job, I have to be at work at 6 in the morning and I DON'T go to bed early, I really can't unless I take a
Hey everybody, I'm actually making a new post! Hooray for you! Truth is, even though I haven't updated in awhile....or for a very long time anyhow, I'm actually kinda bored and cooking dinner while waiting for Letterman to come on, so I figured I'd take the time to post something since I haven't in a long while.
First things first, for those who haven't seen the posts in the Indy Wrestling thread, Devil Mountain Wrestling (where I'm training) has been running shows for the past few months.
I haven't posted in awhile, there's really no reason why except I really haven't found much to post about. I am still training and I am still Refereeing for promotions and regardless of what the Khali mark says, are not backyard feds.
(check out the WWE comments that don't warrent a thread...thread to see what I'm talking about.)
-Training: Training has been going ok. I've just about completed 6 months of my 1 year training contract. While I'm still slowly improving, I'm still having trou
California Championship Wrestling got a tv deal! And not just some regular tv deal, oh no they got a deal with Comcast! The deal is that Comcast will run a show for a entire month...and it will be On-Demand. I'm very happy for CCW and I'm very happy to be apart of CCW. So BIG congrats to California Championship Wrestling and I can't wait to see what happens next with them.
For those who are wondering if California Championship Wrestling will reach you here in California. You can check out t
On Sunday night, I was in Modesto, Ref'ing for a promotion called N.A.W. or NAW if you say it as a sound, for the first time. Anyways, I got to Ref 3 matches.
Match 1: Mark Vega vs Kenny K vs Kassy Summers in a triple threat match to find out who will be interim champion for Chupacabra's NAW Light weight title.
Match 2: Was Jason Vega vs Sheik Kahn Abodi
and Match 3: was a hardcore match with Pogo and Rage vs The Body Snatchers
Match 1 and 2 went well. Match 2 ended kinda in
So after almost missing my flight (I woke up late), I flew from Portland and returned back to the Oakland airport, then I drove home to wash my Ref gear and try to get the blood out of my Ref shirt. On the way home, I stopped at a big 5 and bought a brand new Ref shirt just in case I didn't get the blood stains out when I got home. I already had 2 ref's shirt as it was, but one is a normal ref shirt while the other has a long zipper on it....and guess which one I prefer wearing, the one that doe
Over the weekend, I had two shows. I had BAW up in McMinnville Oregon and CCW which was in Newman California.
I'll write about the BAW show because that was the first show I did as the show was on a Friday. So BAW was holding a two day tournament to find out who would be their first Heavyweight Champion. I could only make the first show because at the moment there's been a lot a of drama with Rocky Horror and I have lost most of the lighting crew because of it and I'm not the kind of perso
Ok time for a update and I'm sooooo very sorry I haven't really updated this blog for awhile now. I've either been busy or just to lazy to take the time to type one or a few out, I'm sorry, but to make it up here's a overall update on things.
First off, so I finally moved out of my mom's place and moved into my own place a few weeks ago. I mention this for a reason, that reason, my roommate used to be a Godfather Ho. So thats worth mentioning.
Update on Training: Training...is going
Yup, I took my first chairshot on Saturday night at the CCW show, but before I get into CCW. I'm gonna take a quick second to talk about the BRAWL Show I did on Friday.
The BRAWL Show started really sucky for me. Way before the show even started. I was doing sound for the night and one of the first things I hear is that something is wrong with the sound equipment. So I go looking at the sound equipment and I'm brought this cord. Now the actual cd player and the play button are on two sepera
Alrighty, here's the post about the CCW show I did the next day after the 1/26 BAW show. Its up late, I know, I know, I really know and I'm sure you guys are bored about hearing about it but I'm gonna post about it anyways. So to bad for you. Though I think I'm gonna try and keep it short.
(The events take place on 1/27.)
So I flew back from Portland to Sacramento Saturday morning, I drove home and of course the first thing I do when I come home..check the internet. I'm surfing my we
As of today, I'm working with a new promotion and that promotion is called NAW. I get to be a ref on their 2/25 show. Can't wait, details will come after the show. I'm also booked for the two day tournament for the BAW Heavyweight Title with BAW in March on the 16th and 17th, can't wait for those shows.
Edit: So I fucked up and got myself doubled booked on the 25th. The Rocky crew and cast also do a show for the Oscars. Basically the theater that we perform out of, airs the oscars on one of
Ok, since ECW is on and I'm just sitting here and watching it, I have some time to post about me working the most recent BAW show.
I flew out of Sacramento, really really early Friday (1/26) morning. Before my flight, I saw this big Samoan guy who looked really familar. He was on my flight, I couldn't put my finger on it, but he looked really really familar. Anyways, I let it go and we flew out of California a little before 6:30 in the morning. I got into Portland a little after 8 and Portl
Ok, so I know I'm really lacking on my blog updates. I still owe you a BAW and CCW blog along with a training update. I'm lacking, I'm sorry, I'll get them up soon, I promise but right now I want to discuss how I recently found out how workers from South California hate North California workers and vicea versa.
The night I was in Oregon working the BAW show, another promotion here in CA was running. This promotion is called GZW. To be honest, I don't like the promoter of GZW, dude was very
