Hey guys, I'm doing the Meet The Press Slam podcast and I'm excited about the last three episodes I had with my guests Alan4L, Roy Lucier and goodhelmet from PWO. Here's the links to those shows Roy Lucier http://shoutengine.com/MeetThePressSlamVolume2/meet-the-press-slam-with-roy-lucier-45974 Alan4L http://shoutengine.com/MeetThePressSlamVolume2/meet-the-press-slam-with-alan4l-46076 Will from PWO http://shoutengine.com/MeetThePressSlamVolume2/meet-the-press-slam-with-good-will-from-pwo-45973 Enjoy!

What's the date of the draft?

I'm down definitely if you were to do this

Here's something I wrote in the VOW forums I'd like to share with you April 25th, 2015, my first day stepping foot inside the World Famous Monster Factory. To be honest, I was falling out of love with wrestling at this point of my life. I was doing a “This Week In Wrestling” type show called “Get in the Ring” at Montgomery County Community College and wasn’t getting the results I wanted. Trying to hard would be an understatement on what I was trying to do to get listeners. At the time, Montco Radio, the college’s internet radio station, had another show called Completely Damaged Radio with Cameron “RC” Hall, Matt Porter, and Fearon Derry; they would have guests from the local independent scene on the show. Two of their regular guests were Danny Cage, owner of the Monster Factory, and Ian Riccaboni, now ROH lead commentator but at the time was the lead commentator at the Monster Factory. My first impression of Danny Cage was a hard ass but I knew he was smart and savvy towards the wrestling business. My first impression of Ian was that he was a very humble and nice guy who wanted to succeed and I knew he would. One of the weeks Ian was on and I was already Facebook friends with, asked him if he would be on my show. He said yes and I interviewed Ian on my live Get in the Ring show but what changed my life was the conversation after the show. At the time, I was finding it difficult to get into wrestling and nothing really excited me about the business. Sure I was going to shows around my area and what not but it wasn’t the same love I had before it. Another contributing factor was I helped out at 2 CZW shows and things didn’t go well for me there, so I was skeptical about coming back to wrestling. What I really wanted to do was work in the production side of wrestling and felt that my door was shut because of what happened at CZW. So after I talked to Ian on my show and stopped recording, I asked him his advice on becoming a production person inside of the wrestling business. He said, send Danny an email telling him who you are and what you want to do. That afternoon I sent Danny an email expressing interest to doing production at the Monster Factory. I thought he was going to shrug me off and tell me no but he didn’t, he said come by the next event and I’ll do something with you. I go there on April 25, 2015 with an open heart and mind to what could happen at the Monster Factory. Boy was I glad I did that. It has led to me being there for the past 2 and a half years with experiences and meeting people I will have a lifelong bond with. Some examples include timekeeping for Nigel McGuinness for his drills. talking to Joel Gertner about the business, and other experiences. The people at the Monster Factory from Danny Cage on down to the new trainees didn’t treat me as some mark trying to get into the business without taking a bump. Part of the curriculum at the Monster Factory emphasizes the production elements of wrestling and how to wrestle for TV. I never felt that I was a step lower than anybody else. I felt I belonged and was grateful to be where I was. The moment I truly knew this became a part of me was a couple of weekends ago at the MF Supercamp. Before I felt like I belonged but doing radio would be my true passion since I interned at a local rock station and loved doing that. This past weekend, the MF Supercamp was not only one of the greatest experiences I had in wrestling but one of the greatest experiences I had in life. Wrestling has shown me the discipline and the structure I need in my life because I have Aspergers which is a high functioning form of autism. This weekend I made a connection with one of the coaches at the camp that I’ll surely never forget. Kevin Kelly, NJPW commentator and former producer of WWE and ROH, showed me great respect and admiration. We had a conversation Saturday morning that really changed my view on how people perceive me and other people with Aspergers. We talked about the similarities that me and his older son had and how we were almost mirror images of each other. That really humbled me because I hold Kevin in such high regard based on his work and to be reminded by a guy like him that I’m not alone speaks volumes to his character and as a human being. The moral of this story is don’t give up on dreams just because you or other people feel that they don’t make sense. I feel that sharing my everyday struggles can help and inspire other people to make them feel what Kevin Kelly made me feel. Anybody can belong in the place that they dream of and can strive for whatever they want. Just keep trucking along and don’t let people step over you. The Monster Factory hasn't only given me the inroads of experience to the wrestling business, it has given me a template of how to live my life and what passion people have for something they love. It has helped me through good times but also through the bad times. I was hospitalized a couple of months ago with issues for depression and rage, I called Danny Cage almost every night I was in the hospital and he answered every time.People don't realize how people can change your life for the positive and the Monster Factory has done that for me. I’d like to thank Danny Cage, Ian Riccaboni and every person I met through the Monster Factory for making me step out of my shell into a place I call my second home.

If I had a ballot, this is how I'd vote I FOLLOWED THE MODERN PERFORMERS IN U.S/CANADA CANDIDATES Edge C.M. Punk A.J. Styles I FOLLOWED WRESTLING IN JAPAN CANDIDATES Jun Akiyama Cima NON-WRESTLERS Jimmy Hart Howard Finkel Jerry Jarrett Don Owen George Scott Stanley Weston Justifications Edge: Very good career, drew as Cena's foil for many years and was consistent in the ring CM Punk: A candidate that has a strong case for influence alone and I feel that influence of being the indy guy in the grand scheme of things changed how WWE attacks those indy and international names when it comes to signing and packaging them. In ring, his WWE stuff holds up better than his actual indy run and draw I think being the number one merchandise seller for long periods of time constitutes people wanting to see you. AJ Styles: A pure in ring candidate and that alone if you actually watch all of his matches from different promotions, he is so overwhelmingly good. Jun Akiyama: The in ring alone makes Akiyama a slam dunk and if you add the other two criteria he saved All Japan from the dead and drew the biggest non New Japan Tokyo Dome house, yeah he's the most obvious candidate on the list. CIMA- The Dragon Gate influence is huge here, he's changed the way Japanese juniors are viewed as stars and influenced a great in ring style.

Hey guys, I'm restarting my podcast Meet The Press Slam with a series interviewing wrestling fans about their fandoms and about current and past wrestling. I've so far recorded with Kelly Harrass of Voices of Wrestling and Trevor Dame of ThROH The Years and you can hear those podcasts here http://shoutengine.com/MeetThePressSlamVolume2/ Working on getting the podcast on iTunes ASAP. And today or tomorrow be on the lookout for episodes recorded with Allan Blackstock of Letters Center Stage and Sean Sedor of Voices of Wrestling. Also have talked to Jeff Hawkins, Case Lowe, among others to do this series. Thanks and have a wonderful day

Thanks Alan for looking out. I gave the editing to Tom and I was wondering what was going on with that. I apologize for any inconvenience. Other than that I think the show is a great education. What did you think

Hey guys, As you guys know, I am one of the board members at my college's radio station called Montco Radio, Montgomery County Community College's Internet Radio Station which can be found on www.montcoradio.com. Today I made an agreement with Brad and Chad of the PWO PTBN podcast network to program their shows on our overnight and weekend programming. So what that means is there is another way to listen to your favorite PWO-PTBN podcasts via Montco Radio. What I want to do is make a block on certain nights between 10 PM EST and 8 AM EST and weekends to fill some programming. Your shows will be uninterrupted with no ads or PSAs. Some of the shows I plan on launching with: Letters From Center Stage Between the Sheets Letters from Kayfabe Greatest Wrestler Ever Series Puro Potpourri And more I am screening shows for content and language since this is a college station. I will be doing small edits to fit those requirements. Thanks for reading this and I hope you have a great day

The second episode of Meet the Press Slam will feature Tom Batista: Host of the Military Industrial Suplex podcast Kelly Harrass: Writer and Contributor to Voices of Wrestling And More to be Announced. The topics for this include: The linguistics of wrestling, what terms need to be updated and what terms need to be rendered obsolete? Is the Star rating system broken? With Meltzer rating Kenny Omega vs Kazuchika Okada 2 6.25 stars, it the star rating system broken from the wrestling authority ? Why or why not?

Here's the thread with my opinion on why I rated Naito vs Tanahashi ***** http://prowrestlingonly.com/index.php?/topic/38499-hiroshi-tanahashi-vs-tetsuya-naito-njpw-dominion-061117/&do=findComment&comment=5803570

I felt this exceeded my expectations and the selling of the arm by Tanahashi really convinced me as a viewer that he was really working off of one arm. I felt this surpassed Okada/Omega II later in the night in so many facets when it comes to continuity and the selling. Both matches are great but I felt that both Naito and Tanahashi's charisma shined through and had me at the edge of my seat at every turn. Probably my 2nd or 3rd best match of the year and we have seen a lot of great ones. *****

That would be great, I enjoyed it a lot
