Week of: November 1st 2001

Alot has happened in the last few weeks in my wrestling career. For those of you who didnt know, I was on the road with the WWF for the first time 2 weeks ago. What an awesome experience. I’ll try my best to share it with you. Brock Lesnar and I, started our loop of shows on a saturday. We were to fly to St. Louis from Louisville, then drive to Columbia, Mo which is 100 miles away. I was in a tag match against Dreamer and Justin Credible.. What a great learning experience that was…….both Dreamer and Justin, were willing to hear my ideas, and wanted to help me out as much as they could with my ring work. I learned alot from both of them.

The next day, we drove back to St. Louis for No Mercy PPV . My father and brother Nathan, came backstage as well (they live in STL). It was cool seeing my dad re-unite with some old faces. Many of the refs, and agents, as well as Vince McMahon found time to say hello. I can tell my Father still has it in him, and he would love to perform again in the ring. Nathan got to meet SCSA, Rock, and even Mr. McMahon.

After the show, Brock and I drove 250 miles to Kansas City for RAW. We got up bright and early, and ate, then went to the gym. Then arrived at the building around 1pm. We got our boots on, and went on down to the ring, and got a good stretch in, then worked on some ring skills. When the doors were ready to open , we went backstage to see who we were wrestling, and I was On the card with Chuck Palumbo for the first dark match. The match ended up going good, and I got alot of positive feedback from the agents, as well as constructive criticism. That night we drove another 200 miles to Omaha, Nebraska for Smackdown. After a little nights sleep, we were up and off to the arena. I ended up working Palumbo again, and again had a decent match…….I find Palumbo to be very fun to work with, and look forward to being in the ring again with him.

After another long day, Brock and I went to the hotel, ate in the lobby, and got to bed for about 3-4 hours of sleep. I caught a plane out of Omaha back to Louisville at 7am. (which means be there at 5am :( Now it is wed. and our OVW tv show is taped that night. So after I catch up on some sleep, I go to the show, and end up doing just a small segment. I now have thurs. and fri practice, and a ovw house show on sat. Sun, we drive 150 miles to Evansville for a WWF house Show , were Mark Henry and I take on OVW’s BJ Payne, and Flash. Again a decent match.

Mon. was Raw in Louisville. I worked Kanyon in dark match. One of the most creative wrestlers around in my opinion, and a man i have great respect for. We had a great match , that ended with an injury……Kanyon, was the subject of a fluke accident, with neither him nor I at fault. He ended up tearing his ACL in his knee, which requires surgery, and 6 moths or so recovery. After the incident occurred, he was still able to pick me up for his finish, which many of you knows requires alot of strength, even with a healthy knee. So with a torn ACL, he does this maneuver. 4 words folks, said with the most respect – WHO TOUGHER THEN KANYON?

The next day for Smackdown in Cincinnati, i worked Lance Storm. This guy is good. Very good. He is so smooth in the ring, its unbelievable. Before i started my training in Louisvile with OVW, I remember watching Lance on tv, and imaging one day being able to move like he does in the ring. He was (is) one of the guys i like to watch , and learn from. It was definitely an honor being in the ring with him. Well, a very rough summary of the events that took place the last few weeks. I hope it was at least a little entertaining, but maybe just more informative….and I’m sorry about not answering questions, but i find that time for me and my computer is limited,lol……..thanks alot for all your interest in Pro Wrestling, and i also want to let you all know, that there is no greater feeling, then to walk to down that ramp and perform in front of 10’s of thousands of people.
