Straight Shootin

By Carmine Sabia

Another week of professional wrestling has gone by and not much new. The biggest star in the business left the biggest company in the business and then proceeded to beat his wife who then refused to press charges. But other than that........

WHAT was he thinking? WHAT was his motivation? WHAT is wrong with him? I wish I had the answer. I don't know if ever anyone has fallen so far so fast in this business. This is a terrible situation for him but maybe not such a bad one for the business. Situations like this always bring forth new blood. And when one moves up a level many follow suit. Thus possibly creating opportunities for some of our favorite Indie stars to catch a break and get a developmental deal. Who knows? WHAT? Time will tell. WHAT? Wait and see. WHAT? Ok, enough.

This past week JCW had it's 3rd annual Jersey J-Cup tournament. And much to my surprise, and enjoyment, it was won by the man who at one time was known as the King of the Indies, Reckless Youth. Hopefully this will get Reckless back to the top of the Indie scene. Reckless is a great talent who never could catch on with any of the big companies. Be it for size reasons or what have you. But regardless Reckless is one of the top workers in the business and it's good to see him get his just due. For more info on the J-Cup and JCW check out www.jcwwrestling.com.

Calling all tag teams. HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!! The indies are chock full of over hyped tag teams that aren't really that good. Why are the young guys not training in tag team wrestling anymore? We need some GOOD team out here. If anyone who is currently going to wrestling school is reading this pay attention. There are 100,000 Indie singles workers right now. wanna get booked? Get a good partner, develop some chemistry and practice, practice, practice.

What's up with being stiff? Read this carefully. Stiff IS NOT good. This is not a quality you should strive for. I don't think people in the WWE offices are looking around going "Yeah that Jim kid is pretty good but he's just too smooth. We need someone to injure our top stars". The point is too LOOK stiff. LOOK stiff. Not actually BE stiff. But trying to change the minds of people who don't have much mind to change is kind of pointless.

NWA - TNA. What can I say about them?Good company run by wrestling people, doomed to failure. Why? Well, would you buy a used car without going for a test drive? Asking people to purchase your product sight unseen is ludicrous at best (WWA). Asking them to do it on a weekly basis? Suicide. Here's hoping I'm wrong.
