Beginning

OH no, could it be? The master of the ALEXCUTION has actually found his way onto the internet. In blog form no less. I can feel the excitement exuding from all my followers reading this right now. Take heart in knowing that while you may not be able to see me on TV every week like once before, now you'll be able to read things coming straight from my very own twisted head. What's that you say? Life, while not fair to have taken away your legendary hero, has perhaps thrown you a bone and given you back some reason to live? Understandable. I'll try and update this daily, to make sure I keep those trigger happy fingers at bay.

Let's get the formalities out of the way immediately. Yes, this is the very own Alex Moore typing this. I don't have a ghost writer or something along those lines writing this out for me for any of you skeptics out there. Anything you read from this blog from here on out, comes straight from my mind and heart. Sometimes I'll be writing while on a plane. Sometimes maybe it'll be right before I wrestle a match. Sometimes it'll be while I'm in a hotel room. Who knows when and where I'll be blogging from. As a matter of fact, I think I'll make note of where I am whenever I blog here. At least a general idea so that all of you people can envy me and such.

I'm going to point out right now, though, that what I say in this blog may incite people sometimes. I'm not about giving the good but not the bad. This is my blog and if you don't like what I have to say then quite frankly, I don't care. You don't have to read it. See that's one of the wonderful things about the internet. If you don't like what you read, there's this little X in the top right hand corner of the screen and you're more then welcome to left click on it.

The fact is, for anyone with a half a brain, you'd realize that the Wrestling business is not all peaches and cream. To start, I try and keep up as much as I can with the Xtreme's and other federations as well as fellow wrestlers. But when things like what happened with Harris happen, I just have to shake my head. But you, as fans, have to realize that this is the nature of the business. Harris went out probably thinking "I'm gonna have a ton of beers, and go pass out". I know Harris. The guy's a straight shooter and in honor of him, I'm gonna straight shoot when I talk about him. That thing that Harris and so many other wrestlers do, where they go to a bar and drink after shows; it's unneccessary. There's been plenty of times I've seen wrestler's from all different federations come in after a night of binge drinking and try and put on a show at only 80%. Or 50%. Or whatever they're feeling like at that particular moment. You know what though? That's a smack in the face to every ticket holder and fan of yours that wanted to see you go at 100%.

Look at it this way, say you pay $50-150 for a show. You have your huge foam finger. You got your favorite wrestler's t-shirt. You're hugging his action figure while sitting on his seat cover and sipping pepsi from a mug with his face on it. This guy is your hero. This is the moment you're waiting for. His music hits and everyone in the arena explodes. Your heart is pumping just to get a glimpse of him. You see him come down the ramp, hit the ring and you're begging for him to pound on his opponent. So what do you get? You get a guy who half-asses it. You get a guy who drank so much the night before that he's a little lethargic. Maybe doesn't take his bumps as hard. Maybe doesn't follow through on his clotheslines quite as clean. So what do you get? You get less then what you paid for.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not singling out Harris at all. I just wanted to bring him up and segway into this particular topic, which I think I've done nicely.

The problem with the Wrestling industry is such a huge roll partying plays in the scene. You gotta realize, we're damn near rockstars out there. We're noticed anywhere we go. If I left my house (where I am now recouperating for the next week) right now and went down the street to the corner store, I guarantee you I'll be stopped by at least 5 people. You think that's any different if you go to a bar? Not even. I went to a bar one time to celebrate Klash's birthday and was offered multiple drinks from regular bar patrons just for being me. I don't drink and I understand that everyone wants to be the guy that offered the wonderous Alex Moore a drink, but this is what we get every time we go out. So of course guys are gonna party and have fun. My main complaint, is when it effects what you do in the ring.

Guys tell me "Look, this is my free time and I want to enjoy it". Completely understandable. But don't let it affect the people who pay their hard earned money to watch you. After all, where would you be right now if not for them? You'd be wrestling in someone's backyard, that's where. And it's a shame too, because there's so many guys out there that have a ton of talent and are held back because they're lazy or they drink too much or they're slightly out of shape. This is a business and if you want to get ahead you have to treat it like it's your life. That's just how it is. Maybe it's different for me because Wrestling IS my life. I haven't wrestled in almost two weeks now and I'm starting to get a little antsy.

Just to fill everyone in, I had a slight ankle sprain in my match vs former XWA star James Moore (which might I add, I won) that needed a little rest. So I took the last couple of weeks off to recover. And I'm going fucking bonkers being cooped up in my house. But good news, the ankle is all better. I can run on it without feeling any pain. I'm ready to hit the ring. I've stayed in shape by doing other regimens mainly weight training. January 3rd I work a Indy show in Pennsylvania and that following Saturday, the 6th, I'm actually wrestling Masuka Takashai in Ft. Lauderdale. I'm excited to get back in the ring. Although I'm not looking forward to the sore-ness I'll feel after Masuka gets his hands (and feet) on me.

I think this is a nice long blog for my first post so I'll leave it here. But make sure you check up on this thing periodically as I'll be updating.

Oh and my next post will be about why the great Alex Moore turned DOWN a 6 figure WWE offer just recently. So stay tuned, because you'll all want to read about that. Trust me.
