Happy Thanksgiving from the APWF

Let me take this time to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! If I've learned anything in the last year, its that our loved ones can be taken away from us at anytime. Love and share every moment together! Thanksgiving was my late wife's favorite holiday, and this one will be hard for me. She so loved waking up and making her delicious breakfast rolls and danishes, and then watching the parades on TV. And then cooking and sitting down with the kids for a Thanksgiving feast. There is not a day that goes by that I don't miss her! But life does go on. And I'm happy, with my wife to be! Another great woman, who enjoys wrestling, and allows me to play and be an active part of it.













Congratulations to Scottie Gash, chosen by new NWA East/APWF Commissioner Maverick McCoy as the person to wrestle The Sheik on Feb. 28th, 2010. Having seen both of these guys at their best, all I can say is that it will be one hell of a match! I think this match will get a lot more interesting in the months to come.

Let me be the first to say that I disagree on the long delay between wrestling shows for the APWF. "Halloween Justice" was great, with an awesome crowd. And now here we sit for 5 months waiting for the next one. All this while APWF Owner Bubba Brewer pretends to know football, and believes he's the leader of somekind of special Pittsburgh Steelers fan club. New Commissioner Maverick McCoy might move fast in the ring, but moves at a snails pace to get anything else done. All this does is hurt the APWF! Wrestling Promoter 101 has always said, that you should run as soon as possible, coming off your most successful show to date. So while these two attend sporting events and wrestling PPV's, buy Christmas presents, and get drunk for the holidays, I'll do my best to keep the APWF hype machine going, for yet another 3 months.

What's the hardest part about promoting wrestling? Finding buildings! I have driven all over the Dayton, Ohio area, priced and tried to talk to realtors about buildings to remodel into a TV studio for our new Gem City Wrestling TV show. STILL haven't found anything. It will be the first time wrestling has been on Channel 2 in Dayton in 30 years. And its the first locally produced show of any kind since the great Phil Donahue started his career in Dayton. So needless to say, we are trying to find the perfect place to shoot and film.

Second hardest thing about promoting wrestling? Getting the people there! But I still believe that a weekly TV show can do that for any promotion. We shall see!

Is it me, or does the WWE roster for Raw just seem to be too small? Tired of seeing the same guys fued. Even though the Kofi Kingston and Randy Orton short fued as been entertaining. Oh and the recent TNA PPV was great! Sure wish their weekly Spike TV show was the same way. I'm not, nor have ever been a Russo fan! Oh and I hate the term "Writers". Its booker! Booker! Plain and simple! And these so called writers, can't book!

Again, Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Thanks for reading! Have a great week, and continue to check back to http://www.apwfwrestling.com/ for more updates.

The Hype Machine Continues!
