I think one of my college friends used to work for SSW.

I like how they're using the same ad backgrounds as SMW (hell, probably the same video equipment as SMW) and their advertisers consist of a Republican comedian and a church.

Go to church.

Beau James has a poor reputation with other local indies because he's taken advantage of kids in the ring. One time got cold cocked backstage for it. He's eased up on that with age.

His wife is a good person, tho.

Well this explains why Dutch Mantel wouldn't shake his hand after their "match".

I got a copy of Beau James' book with my Kindle Unlimited subscription. It opens with like a million forewords.

quote:

He reminded me a lot of Jim Cornette at [17].

Beau James has an undying passion for our sport, and respect for everyone who came before him in our sport like I have never seen.

Wrestling fan or not, I know you will enjoy this book. I have watched Beau James change from a young upstart into a true and respected veteran known to the world as �Handsome� Beau James, The King of Kingsport.

�(Beau James) is awesome, a fountain of knowledge that all young wrestlers could learn from.� Jerry Lynn, Former ECW, WWE and WCW Champion

�Beau James is the only guy I know who�s been wrestling 40 years and he�s only 37 years old!� David Young, TNA wrestler

It's a legit story where he talks about meeting Dusty Rhodes when he was 8, but :laffo:

this line:

quote:

My fondest memory of Sunday afternoon wrestling didn�t take place at The Gym. In fact, it took place of all places at Kentucky Fried Chicken.

His first show as a professional referee:

quote:

The national anthem played and off to the ring I went. I got in the ring and out came the first match. It was two masked guys. When I went over to check them, one told me a dirty joke. The other one had nothing to say but farted when he lifted his leg. That was the two highspots of the match. For the next 5 minutes, these two guys did what seemed to me as play-wrestle and laugh. The match ended with an attempt at a schoolboy rollup and I found myself rethinking not only being a ref but also a wrestling fan.

I spent the next three-plus hours reffing 10 matches and in 8 of them the participants should have been thrown in jail for impersonating wrestlers. This was my first taste of many to come of bad wrestling. It was a joke that was not funny. It was a disgrace to all the great men and women who had came before and paved the way and built wrestling . It was a slap in the face to fans who paid hard-earned money.

The PWA was a good-old-boys system headed by a few guys named Carroll Dickerson, Cowboy Williams, Billy Lawson and Otis Roberts. It was what wrestlers of that time would call outlaw. It was a group of guys who never took the time to learn the proper ways. They never learned to talk , act, or carry themselves as pro wrestlers. They were �play wrestlers.� They were all buddies who got together and played wrestling. The older guys trained the younger guys, showing them what they knew, which was nothing. If a new guy came along they would take turns beating him like a drum with cheap shots, sucker punches, or any backstabbing tactics they could use. They were all as good as gold to your face, but once someone bucked the system they were all out to get him.

quote:

The dressing room was like a jail cell. Your spot was your spot. You sat your bag on one side of your chair, your briefcase on the other, a towel in your seat, and your jacket on the back of the chair. No one invaded your space. No one sat in your spot. Nowadays, guys will step on your stuff, sit in your seat, and move your chair , yet you�re an a** hole if you jump on somebody about it. I had to learn the lesson and they should too.

When I started, I was around grown men. Many were in the twilight of their careers, but I would never for a second have thought of calling any of them an old man. Yet I hear these punks today use that phrase in the dressing room, in the ring or even on the mic. I have even been called an old man. When that happens , I then take a few seconds to educate them to the old days and a few holds they have never seen. Then I will ask them, �If I�m an old man and I had you screaming in the ring, how does that make you look?� I�m not tough by wrestling standards, but I have a lifetime of experience learning how to protect myself. And I do know more wrestling than most �wrestlers� today.

Right at the top of the �drives-me-crazy� list is when a so-called wrestler calls me �bro� or �brother.� Just because you get in the ring and �wrestle� your buddies around your hometown a couple of times a month, that does not make you a wrestler, and even less so my brother. In fact , you�re not even really in the wrestling business. I have heard wrestlers call each other �brother� for most of my life. I call the boys my brothers whenever I see them, but these so-called wrestlers who think they are in the same profession as me are not my wrestling brothers.

quote:

Your lessons back then were learned in the dressing room and the car rides. This does not happen now because the dressing room has turned into a zoo with play-wrestlers running around horse-playing, parading their wives and kids through, or rehearsing. Beyond that, most wrestlers don�t go more than 75 miles from home now. Why? Because they are wrestling for free or for whatever they can get and can't afford it.

That leads me to one of the biggest changes I have seen . Like I said earlier, when I started , pro wrestlers were for the most part grown men trying to make a living or extra money, or else trying to get a break to move on to a bigger area. Even the ones who were really bad at it had a dream of making money. Now it seems like every time I do an Internet radio show or post on a social page my feeling on the subject , I get 100 emails from goofs attacking me, telling me they do it for the love of it, for fun, or for whatever reason. If you are one of them reading this book, pay attention. YOU DO IT FOR FREE BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT WORTH PAYING! YOU ARE TAKING MONEY AND A LIVELIHOOD AWAY FROM HARD-WORKING MEN AND WOMEN, SO GO BACK TO BUYING TICKETS.

I come across these guys every week. I always ask them what they do for a living, and if they are just kids, I ask them what their moms or dads do. Say someone tells me he is a diesel mechanic. You have to be well-trained to work on a diesel engine. I know this so I would never try it. But I tell them, �What if I start toying with it? I learn the basics. I get OK with just the basics, but never go past that, but I think I�m a lot better than that because my wife, family , friends , or one person tells me so. So I go down and teach my buddies what little I know. They don�t get it even as good as I do, or maybe one of them does. Maybe that one guy gets better and opens up a shop. He works in the shop only one day a week or a couple of times a month , but people go to him, only to get ripped off because he said he was a professional. They trade their diesels in. They tell everyone they know about that shop in town. Everyone in town gets rid of their diesels and soon not only has that shop shut down, but YOU are out of work as well. How would you feel after all the time and money you spent to go to school to learn your trade? Twenty years in and you are done. Time to go to work at the bottom doing something else. Your teacher comes by to tell you he is ashamed of you for what you let happen. How would you like it? � They always answer very fast, �I would not like it at all,� to which I reply, �GET OUT OF MY BUSINESS!�

quote:

Some go so far as to publicly attack people they don�t like or promotions that are smart enough not to use them. Funny, not too many years ago if you had trouble with another wrestler, you settled with flesh on flesh. Now they run home and hide behind a keyboard and take it to Facebook. The thing they don�t realize is that someday someone will slap them in the dressing room in front of everybody to prove a point. I had a wrestler a few years ago that I really liked until he started online with his take on wrestling and disrespected my opinions that I have gathered from years spent around a lot of smart people and my brothers who have passed.

I talked to the guy and told him what I thought, and said that if he had something to say then he should say it to me. The next day he was online, at it again, so when I saw him that Friday, I slapped the pee out of him in the dressing room. We get along good now as far as I�m concerned, and I think that slap made him a better man. I will keep his name private, but many people witnessed it. From what I hear, he is doing a good job these days helping a promoter in his home state, and he probably wants to slap some young wrestlers himself.

In the early days of me being on the Internet, Bryan Wayne, a guy that Ricky Morton and I helped get started, was upset because he felt I was holding him back. He was young in wrestling and did not realize there are stooges everywhere. On his promotion�s message board he would go on rants about me. I would not answer him, nor do I answer anyone else. There is no reason for me to acknowledge another promotion that is out to hurt me, or a wrestler who is not making me a dime. So after a few days he came over on my page and went on a rant and closed it by challenging me to a match, any match. He said that I could pick the rules and place. So I decided enough was enough.

I said, �OK , Friday at my event. Anything goes match, fight to a finish. I will have a loaded gun at the announcer�s table. The loser will put the gun in his mouth and pull the trigger, because if I can�t beat you with all my knowledge above yours, I should be ashamed enough to kill myself. What about you ?� Five minutes after posting, he called and wanted to make up. He ran his mouth in public and was in return embarrassed in a public way. Another rule, kiddos : NO ONE EVER GETS OVER ON YOU.

quote:

Question: other than the actual boys who were in ECW, can you name or remember any of these hardcore hopefuls? Then came the American Lucha Libre boom, where events will reach a bigger audience. Every promotion that has based its product on Hardcore, Lucha, or whatever else I may have missed has had to stop doing it at some point or another. Why? Because they have limited their audience. They have either gone out of business or else stripped it down to the basics and gone back to WRESTLING.

quote:

K.C. and I had been somewhere around Lenoir to wrestle for a lady promoter we had both known for years named Kandy Ryan. As we walked in the building, a local wrestler named Tommy Ace came up to K.C. and started talking to him. Within 30 seconds, he had disrespected me and K.C. and had no clue he had done so. The boys who have known me and K.C. for awhile tell me that they know it�s about to hit the fan when they see K.C. put his hand on my shoulder. That is him trying to talk me out of what ever is in my mind.

So K.C. put his hand on my shoulder and we found our way to the dressing room. As we were sitting there, the guy came up to us again. This time it only took him 15 seconds to get me hot. I got up and just walked off as he was talking. I went and looked out at the crowd, hit the head, and then came back to my seat. K.C. was sitting there and now he was hot. I said �What�s up, Cuz?� and he informs me, � We are going to beat the $!#% out of that guy .�

We were on last, so the hurry up and wait game was on. There were 7 or 8 matches plus an intermission. Tony Givens and my cousin Wade Adams had just started wrestling. They might have had 50 matches. I told them to watch our stuff while we were in the ring and to also keep an eye on those guys if it got bad in the ring.

At last , it was time for us to go to the ring. K.C. had wrestled there a few times but this was my first time there. As we went out, the people made zero noise; they just sat there. We got in the ring and out came Tommy and his partner, whose name I can�t remember. There was one section that got very vocal for Tommy, so we knew that was where his family was. As they climbed in the ring, Tommy looked at us and said, �Ya hear that? These are my people.� K.C. replied, �I would hope so; you all live in the same house.�

Most of the time I would start our tag matches, but this night K.C. told me that he was starting . As the ref was giving the rules, Tommy hauled off and slapped K.C. in the face with everything he had. It shocked everyone , but before he could draw his hand back, K.C. had kicked him the manhood harder than anything I have ever seen. Tommy just fell to his knees and when he did , K.C. started slapping him in the face. K.C. looked at Tommy�s partner and the guy said that he didn�t want any of this.

K.C. continued to pound Tommy and he scooped him up and tried to slam him through the ring. K.C. then tagged me. By this point the guy was done. He did not have any fight left. He just got schooled in front of his family who were now on their feet close to the ring. K.C. looked at me as I came in and said, �Stomp his %&!# guts out.� So I bent down and told Tommy to tighten his body up. I jumped in the air and landed with both feet on him. He had not attempted to tighten up. Shoot, he couldn�t; he was lying there beat up. When I came down on him he tried to get up, which knocked me off balance and I landed butt first in his gut. I looked down at him and wondered if he was asking �The Question.� He said, �Get off me, you fat bastard.� And with that, the smell hit me. The guy had crapped himself.

I got up and tagged K.C. back in, and he kept the hits right on coming . The fans started getting louder and louder. There was not an ounce of doubt in anyone�s mind that this Carolina boy was getting it handed to him. His own partner turned on him and started beating on him. The ref threw the match out and stopped it, but K.C. kept on. He tossed Tommy out of the ring and went after him. The next thing I know, K.C. went after the guy�s family at ringside, and it was on. The next couple of minutes got wild.

As we walked into the dressing room, Kandy came over and paid us and said, �Please, just leave , guys.� She was afraid that if we stayed it would get worse. As we headed out we saw Tommy�s family tending to him in the lobby. We went out the back door and home to Tennessee. That�s was Tony and Wade�s first experience with a wild evening at the matches.

Pro wrestling is one of only a few professions where you may be lucky enough to grow up and perform with your childhood heroes. Really, other than music or acting, I can�t think of any others. An NFL star�s career may last 10 years. A Major League Baseball star�s career may last 15 years, and a lucky few may reach 20 or just past that. If a wrestler keeps healthy and a good business mind, he can continue to be booked for as long as he wants.

Those of you who are long-time fans of mine and of Southern States Wrestling know that wrestling is the family business. My wife Misty and I not only wrestle but we also promote the events. I edit the weekly TV. My mother Fay and next-to-oldest sister Patricia run the concessions. My oldest sister Mia runs the box office. My nieces Katie and Belle (who is her Aunt Misty�s biggest fan) help with the chairs and merchandise. Their Dad is wrestler Steve Flynn. My father Roy has promoted towns, done ring announcing and is always there when we need help building or repairing a ring.

Beau James posted:

I have told you about Boogie Boy, so let me tell you about my other little brother, Claudio. I only saw Boogie Boy in the summer months, but I saw Claudio all the time. I first met him when he was just a little boy. He had a sense of humor like his Dad Soups. He was well-liked by everyone. He would come down with Soups to Fall Branch, and I would let him get in the ring before the matches. I was getting in there having matches with him when he was 10 years old. He wanted to be a wrestler, and I could see that he would be a good one. He always wanted to prove himself to the boys. Sometimes, he was too eager to prove himself. He would be at ringside and jump up in the bad guys � faces trying to provoke them. Claudio would not back down. I used to tell him, �One of these days someone will have to give you a beating to prove a point.�

This night in Princeton would be the night. In the main event, Boogie was wrestling a huge wrestler called The Warmachine, who at the time was my regular partner. The match was an �Anything Goes, New York City Street Fight.� It was wild and went all around the building. When they came back to the ring, Boogie was getting the upper hand when mine and Warmachine�s manager P.J. Sharp jumped into the ring. Boogie went to work on him and I came in and nailed Boogie from behind. As we were doing a number on Boogie, I felt someone hit me across the back. I turned around and there in the middle of the ring was Claudio. Without hesitation I decked him. The Machine dropped an elbow on him. I picked up a kendo stick that was lying in the ring and I wore Claudio out with it.

Fans and wrestlers came after us and to help this young teenage boy. When we got out of the ring, the fans came after us with chairs. When we made it to the back, one of the young wrestlers asked why we had done that. I was fast to tell him that if we had let Claudio get away with it, then the people would think any of them could do it to me or to any other wrestler. We had to stay in the dressing room for long time until all the people either left or were made to leave. One of the security guys told us they had to carry Claudio out on a stretcher. After the building was cleared, I made my way over to the other dressing room. I walked in and the only people left in the dressing room were Soups, Boogie, and Claudio.

I had no idea how Soups was going to be. After all, I had just beaten the tar out of his 14-year -old son. When I got in there , Soups was looking at the whelps and marks on his son�s back. I looked at my work, and Claudio looked up at me and said with a huge smile, �We almost started a riot.� I just laughed. He had just had his butt handed to him by three grown men and it was the happiest moment of his life. He had also earned the respect of the boys. From that day forward he was never looked upon as a kid again.

I wonder if this is on their Youtube channel?

quote:

Now before we go any further let me say this: I have had complete idiots give me ideas, and I have been able to toss them around and turn them into some entertaining TV or a match that the fans like, so I listen to everyone. Well, everyone but Bobo Brown. Zach gave me his answer: �What I would do is take that crown, poop in it, and then put it on his bald head.� That got a huge laugh out of me and K.C. Then as we rode a little further down the road, I asked K.C., �Could we get away with putting a turd on a bald head on TV?�

Here is how it went down on TV. Ken Bowles, a longtime area wrestler and SSW�s matchmaker at the time, was in the ring to enforce the stipulations from the Christmas night match. He first brought out Scotty Ace and told him that he knew how Dr. X won Christmas Night, but his hands were tied and he could not do anything but enforce the agreement. Scotty Ace was standing tall in the ring in his nice red jacket and Stetson Cowboy hat. I made my way to the ring wearing a shirt representing Ace�s Ohio group . I started telling Ace that I had had enough; he had beaten me for the last time, and now I was going to join up with his group. The crowd started yelling �No!� I had Ace sit in a chair and told him, �Now, I will crown you, Scotty Ace, the �New King of Kingsport.�� After Ace sat down, I went through this spiel and placed the crown I had been holding upside- down on his bald head.

Only a handful of people knew what was coming, and I was the only one in the ring who knew . Scotty was sitting there in all his glory as I crowned him. I said, �Wait a minute. I need to straighten it.� As I lifted it up, Ken Bowles saw a wad of wet toilet paper and a melted Hersey Bar sitting on that bald head. He yelled out, �Oh My God, EWWW� and shot out of the ring about to puke. I then grabbed the mic and said, �I will never join you and your men, because everyone knows you are a poo-poo head.�

On Thursday , after we taped the SSW program, I took the tape to the station to air that Sunday going into the following Friday. I left the station and went home, but before I could make the 15-minute trip home, the program director had called and left three messages. I called him back to hear, �You can�t show a turd on Sunday afternoon TV.� I then tried to dance around it, telling him it was just a melted candy bar, etc, but he wanted no part of it . I told him that we had to show it; our event next Friday was built around that �turd.� Back and forth we went until he agreed to show 2 seconds of the �turd� before blocking it off with �CENSORED� over it.

All week long I�m wondering if the �turd� would draw? Was it in too bad taste? What am I thinking using the idea of a four-year-old? That Friday night we did our regular every-other-Friday night event in Kingsport, and I think we were all surprised. Not only was the attendance up from first of January but it was better than Christmas night. During the third match, when Ace walked one of his men out, the crowd started in on him with all kinds of one-liners. So it all turned out well in the end. There is a lesson to be learned in this story. But I�m not sure what it is.

And there isn't clear face/heel work because the PWG crowd is 'smart' enough that they're going to cheer people they like watching wrestle regardless of alignment. Chris Daniels does a lot of old-school heel tactics when wrestling in PWG and still gets chants. When the booking commits to building a heel (Cole and Roddy being the recent examples) they do really well with it. O'Reilly finally beating the weasel heel champ Cole after Cole had his Mount Rushmore buddies interfering in his title matches for months was a huge star-making moment for him. Of course, Kyle took the ball and ran with it by having an awesome reign as champ before the ROH stuff went down.

Roddy's been such an incorrigible bastard in PWG for nearly a year now that when someone (probably Ricochet) finally beats him for the belt the place is gonna go nuts.

I know one thing he complains about is that to him it's impossible for heels to get heat because everyone's all smart and cheers them for being good wrestlers and back in my day people tried to stab me while I walked 12 miles uphill both ways to the Mid-South Coliseum (twice a day on Sunday) so I could see why he wouldn't like that.

Especially since Cornette supposedly believes that what makes a good wrestling product is if it draws money and the crowd reacts. Sure PWG is a small-scale operation, but it's (reportedly) doing better business now than it ever has, and the crowd is still crazy hot for the product even though it's allegedly devoid of psychology.

I think his response to PWG as a draw would be "I sold out the Gardens every week for a year and they run a Legion hall in LA once a month."

There's another story where Kevin Nash was doing a TNA house show loop as tag champion against the Young Bucks. He tried to convince the front office to do the old trick of letting them drop the titles to the Bucks at the beginning of the loop and getting them back at the end of the loop, but TNA refused and Nash got irate that they weren't doing more to put over the Bucks.

He seemingly runs out of the gym where he goes to church and draws a large portion of the crowd from the BLAST, WAKE, and LIFE classes

Does that make SSW the 3D Bible Study for Adults?

Huh, someone's promoting a wrestling card here next month. Not just a wrestling card, but a lucha libre card, headlined by... Silver King vs Dr. Wagner Jr? They're both old but that might be interesting. They want $50 for general admission though so uh, the card had better have someone else that I've heard of or was born after 1970.

So apparently Legends of Wrestling this weekend was Heroes of Wrestling-quality. I wonder when I'll get to see video of 2015 Goldberg saving 2015 RVD from a beat down by 2015 Scott Steiner (who ate a spear, ouch) and Doc Gallows (who got jackhammered).

I can't believe Steiner with his shot back actually took a spear.

PRLog (Press Release) - June 15, 2015 - LAS VEGAS -- Beginning Saturday, July 4th, Paragon Pro Wrestling will air on POP TV every Saturday at 6:00am across the country. When informed of the debut date and time slot, PPW commentator, Jeff Akin, said, �This is incredible! What better day to launch a celebration in pro wrestling than the 4th of July! This reminds me of waking up with my older brothers and watching Saturday morning wrestling back when I was a kid.�

With a roster of top competitors, Paragon Pro Wrestling will finally bring the excitement of �old school� professional wrestling back to network television. Competitors like Gangrel, �Big Money� Tyshaun Prince, Wes Brisco and the Paragon Pro Wrestling Champion, Jessy Sorenson, have found the arena in which they will face the best in the sport today.

AJ Styles has a rather large following in the gay community I hear.
