I'm back. I apologize for my extended absence, but it couldn't really be helped. Well it could I suppose, but I was grieving. James funeral was as nice as a funeral could be. What was even nicer is the turnout. There was over 100 wrestling personalities (including wrestlers from XWW, XCW and XWA as well as announcers, scouts, etc) as well as fans who turned out to offer their last respects. It seems like I miss James more and more each day.
Kip and Bret had a match over the weekend for James. Kip's not supposed to wrestle because of his back. He did, for James. Kip won, but lost his career. After the match, through tears, my good friend Kip "the Machine" retired from wrestling due to lower back problems. It was a hell of a match that I wish I could have been involved in. It went 47 minutes and both Bret and Kip showed the absolute best of themselves. Honestly, it was the best match I've seen so far this year. It was so phenomenal to see the emotion and chemistry those two displayed. A shame Kip's now done with wrestling forever. He gave his heart and his back up the other night. But I guarantee you he walked out with his head held high, albeit his heart heavy.
For the first time since the announcement was made, I'm going to address this "WPW" issue. I'm gonna start with the most obvious statement possible: The former owner of XCW and current owner of WPW is the biggest pile of shit I've ever known in my life. The funny this is, though, I didn't really know him. This guy is one of those pricks who thinks he's too good for anyone to ever meet him. He never once met with me. Any talks that went to me came through scouts and talent agents. As far as I know, he never has shown his face to anyone. Honestly, I'd rather he never showed his face again. Or better yet, I wish he'd show his face to me so that I could bloody it up a bit. This guys is one of the slimiest, underhanded, low-life scumbags I've ever been associated with.
Let me be the first to tell you that I'm actually one of the XCW wrestler's who does NOT have a limited compete clause. I managed to work that out after I had been signed on a year. My extension came with a clause of it's own in which case if I was ever left out of work for any reason then I could sign on with another company. So, WWE trying to sign me was completely legit and I could have if I wanted to. However, the majority of XCW wrestler's, and quite a few of them are my friends, are not in that boat. As much as I hate the idea of a bunch of good solid wrestler's not being able to practice their trade to the utmost degree, there's a bigger issue here.
That issue is the apparent collapse of XCW. So you mean to tell me that XCW is simply gone because this ass wants it to be? All the fans, all the wrestler's, all the insiders... everyone who was waiting and hoping for the ultimate return, are instead going to be introduced to some unsung league while XCW lays by the wayside so that the money hungry owner can continue to increase his wealth from merchandise sales? This makes me absolutely sick.
Don't get me wrong... I love to see new companies come up with the ability to push good talent to the moon which there's never a lack of. But the blatant disrespect is too much to handle. You're only taking one XCW wrestler? Bane? You're taking Bane? This guy spent 3 months in XCW, and while he was dominant and a force... how is he even worth consideration for this? This is a joke. So is WPW.
Plenty of people are actually planning on striking this. I've heard XCW former wrestler's and fans. The ppv is tomorrow, but I won't be making the trip. I'll see what it has to offer, mainly because I'm a fan of wrestling. But no matter what happens, WPW will never ever be a good substitute for XCW.
My next wrestling match is Monday against Mr. H.M. Chan.
I'm gonna pretend he's the XCW former owner. And I might just really hurt him.
