We use to have a lot of members that did. I started in pro wrestling when I was only 14. Went from sound guy, ring announcer and time keeper to working in matches at 16. I was blessed to work with Terry Funk, Bobo Brazil and The Sheik. Later on it was with Butch Reed, Ron Simmons, Al Snow and Sabu.
Got to later work with Edge and Christian when they started.
At 18 started my own promotion where we ended up being one the highest drawing in the Midwest. I booked legends like Tito Santana, Greg Valentine, Jimmy Snuka, King Kong Bundy, The Bushwackers, Don Muraco, Ken Patera and Mick Foley. Gave matches later on to CM Punk, Rhyno had one of his first matches with us. We're still friends 25 years later. Former UFC champion Dan The Beast Severn was responsible for me getting to meet my wife. Because he was late to an autograph signing.
I was real close to signing with WCW on a 4 year deal to work on creative for Thunder and PPV's. But Eric Bischoff got fired and since I never signed the contract, it was voided.
Left wrestling in 2001 after my daughter was born. Still try to be a fan and the only way you can really be in that business is to be a fan.
The product in the last few years has really gotten stale. WWE or for that matter Vince is creatively bankrupt. New upstart AEW is not investing in creating new talent and instead following the blueprint that killed WCW.
Was just curious if any of the current members watch pro wrestling.
