Shootin' with The Snapshot

The ESS PROMOTIONS A - Z tour rolled into Toms River Friday night for NWS wrestling. They had there first of 2 Halloween shows. Despite the message board trashing of the show they actually had about 225 people there. It was there usual family style show with the Halloween theme. They went all out and it made for a fun night. Some of the highlights include Mike Kruel Vs Damian Adams, Ballz Mahoney Vs Johnny Candido and the intergender tag match with Slyck Wagner Brown and my favorite red head April Hunter Vs Justin credible and Mercedes Martinez. Somehow I ended up as the lockerroom agent for the evening. My role was to make sure the talent was ready for there matches and made sure they got to the ring on time. I want to thank the management of NWS for allowing me to do this. I hope to do this more for them in the future as I like doing this type of stuff. They even showed me there appreciation which came as a total surprise to me. On a down note one of the local boys named Little Ricky who asked to buy a few tickets for the show for some friends, instead of squaring up at the end of the show with the promotion, he ran out leaving his ring gear in the lockerroom and stole close to $300 from the promotion. In this business this a no no. Ricky you are playing with fire and you will get burned big time. Do the right thing before it is too late and square up with the promotion. After the show we went to the diner and was joined by my favorite red head in April Hunter and her better half in SWB. Everyone had a blast and April and I were talking about the interview I did with her and how some promoters and other people gave her some slack for it. She would not mention names but you people need to lighten up. It is only a work. I sort of hinted that I wanted her to do another one with me. She was sort of hesitiant. Normally, I do not do this but I might have to hit her with some Jewish foreplay in order for her to consider this. I have made it clear that I would never mess with female talent but in April's case I just might have to. That is to get the second interview. Just in case anyone was wondering what Jewish foreplay is, it is commonly known as begging. She is thinking it over.

The A - Z tour continued on Saturday with a double shot. My first destination was JAPW in Rahway. JAPW always runs solid shows and has a good crew in which they work with. Once I got there I was looking for Dan Maff as he had me make some promo photos for him. They came out good and with his photos and his new shirt that I also did for him I feel you should go and support him. I was also talking to Fat Frank as he wants to me to do some sweatshirts for him. As I was talking to him the lockerroom policeman, we will call him Deputy Dog or how about Quick Draw Mcgraw told me in no uncertain terms to stay out of the lockerroom. He did not know I was going to leave for the NWS show, but more on that later. I felt that Deputy Dog was talking down to me and talking to me as I was a piece of shit. This was the second time he did this to me at JAPW. I chose to let it go the first time but this time it just got to me. I am no rookie. I have been around for a while. Hey Mr. tough guy what are going to do if I went into the lockerroom, beat me up. I just looked at Frank and laughed. Some might disagree, but I feel my accomplishments in my close to 20 years in wrestling outside the ring are greater than your 6 years in the ring. Do you realize how stupid you sound. To get a bee you need honey not vinegar. Mr. Dog all you had to do was take me to the side and talk to me as a human being and as a gentleman. I would respect you more for doing that. Not to mention that I would never make a scene in the dressing room. I am better than that. I am sure Fat Frank would like to know how you manhandled his 5 year old son at the last show when throwing him out of the lockerroom. I witnessed it and so did another one of the top boys there. If that was my kid not only would you be fired from my company but I would have pressed charges against you. To my friend Fat Frank and the JAPW management team who I have known for a long and am good friends with, I would never do anything to embarrass or hurt the sanctity of your lockerrom or your promotion but you need to put a leash on Deputy Dog. To Deputy Dog you preach respect, you should learn to take your own advice. I am not the enemy. If you were a little bit cooler I could make or show you how to make money outside of the ring as I am doing for my good friend Dan Maff and a few others. For out of the ring promotion, I am his teacher and coach and I am sure he appreciates me hanging there and helping him to make a little more than just a simple pay day for wrestling. It is always nice to go home with a little extra. Especially if you have a lovely lady that your with. To get the honey you need money and without money you get no honey. But, hey what do I know. Everyone just thinks of me as a vendor anyway. It is all " BS B.S. . " right!!!

Once the dark matches started, I said my good-bye's and headed to NWS which was running in Manville. They had a good crowd there. Some of the highlights included, Damian Adams Vs Roman and the intergender tag match with Danny Doring and Simply Luscious Vs Justin Credible and Cheerleader Kara. This was a good match that had the crowd hot throughout the whole match. They had there Halloween costume contest there as well as a surprise birthday party done up to the nines for NWS super fan Mike Dillion. I think he really appreciated it and I think the talent involved had fun ribbing him. After that the usual crew headed to the diner for a good meal and great story telling.

Finally, the Iron Sheik Shoot interview 4 has been edited and I am awaiting the cover to be done. This should start shipping by November 13. Put your order in now for this one of kind shoot that will blow your mind. It is $20 plus $5 shipping. Everything you ever wanted to know or did not want to know about the Iron Sheik is on this tape. I also have some ring worn items on ebay from the Iron Sheik.
