Some things have happened since my last post

One of my closest friends Dan Tanaka suggested I go to an New England Championship Wrestling (NECW) show last year. I really enjoyed their show and ended up going back for another show or two over the following months in the 2nd half of last year. I was talking to NECW's promoter Sheldon Goldberg after the show, and in doing so I realized how much I missed working actively in the business in some way. I know if I really wanted to I could do WAM events all on my own, but it is a lot of work and I wasn't willing to dedicate myself to doing it all by myself. I asked Sheldon if he could use some ring security for the shows and he said sure so I began to do that. Not long after that Sheldon and I were discussing the possibilites of me working with him to help expand NECW and I jumped at the chance at being an NECW local promoter.

So as of this year I am now working for NECW and am focusing on that.

Do Bob and I have any plans for WAM at the moment? No. I would not put the nail in the casket. I am sure some day we will do something again. It may be this year, or it may not be. I can't answer that. We will see what happens. But, working as a Local Promoter for NECW was an opportunity that I could not pass up and Bob supported this decision so I took the position with NECW.

I really enjoyed my history with WAM and am proud of what we were able to accomplish. We never made it anywhere near the stature of more respected independent promotions or never achieved the notariety of big independent promotions, but I always had fun with WAM. If I said it didn't have its stresses I would be lying. I got so nerved up sometimes I would be sick for days. But, in retrospect I enjoyed WAM events. It gave me some much needed experience which I can now use working for NECW.

Don't count WAM out. We may be inactive and have been since April of 2004. But, I would not say we are gone. Sometime in the future I am sure we will do a fundraiser for an organization or sports team. We may run on a periodic basis like we once did. You never know what can happen in the wrestling business.

But, my priorities are my duties with NECW. Not to discredit WAM, but working for NECW is like going from a baseball little league to AAA baseball. It is a wonderful opportunity for me and I am going to do my best working with NECW to help them further their operations.

Bob and I put a lot of blood, sweat, and tears into WAM. I will never forget that big run we had several years ago. Maybe some day that will happen again. Maybe it wont. I can't tell the future.

But, now I am learning from and working for Sheldon Goldberg and NECW and my plans are to use that knowledge with NECW and to do whatever I can to help NECW grow. NECW in my personal opinion is the elite of New England independent wrestling. Promotions come and go. Some last for years. Some run once and disappear. At any given time there may be 25 to 30 or more wrestling promotions running in New England. But very few stand out above the rest. NECW is one of those that stands out above all the rest. For about 5 years now NECW has continued to grow and will continue to grow.

I know I have so much more to learn working with Sheldon and I hope I am succesful in using that knowledge to aid NECW in continuing to grow. I am enjoying my work with NECW and look forward to a successful future working with NECW. I take great pride in working with NECW and am estatic over the chance to work with them.
