Hello everyone,
I hope this little message is finding all of you well. I will get right to the most important topic at hand.As all of you know I have sold the promotion and school.Because of my eventual return to work I don't really see any reason for the TWA site. For the most part this site was here to let you in on the promotion and to keep in touch with those people who have supported me while I was away. I'm not going to be away anymore so you sort of get the point. I hope you will understand. I simply do not have the drive to become absorbed with the wrestling business anymore and can't really see taking my days off to write commentaries or even check messages. Again I mean no offense by this it's just that it seemed fun to do when you have nothing but time on your hands and needless to say I believe that going back on the road(even though it's not nearly as tough now)will create a large enough challenge for me. I hope you can understand.
I know the biggest complaint will be getting the truth as opposed the the
rumors. Or at least that's what one would think. Although as I read some of
the threads on the message board who knows. I have to tell you I shutter to
think how upset some of you would get if these people were talking about
you. C'mon lets try to remember they're talking about me so there really
isn't really any reason to be getting into fights. As flattering as it is
that you care enough try not to forget to be nice to one another. If I've
told you once I've told you a million times they're wrestling fans just like
you.Only you give merit to what they say. When your at a match would you
believe everything the person next to you was saying if you didn't know
them.Think about it. They watch RAW every Monday just like you, Smackdown on
Thursday, just like you and order the PPV views just like you. They tape the
WCW shows and watch them as some of you do and order the PPV's also. What's
the difference? They just choose to exercise their rights to write about it
and give you their opinions. It's really up to you as to how you choose to
digest the information. Sorry but they're just enjoying a hobby. You all have to lighten up a smidge. Besides if anybody should be upset it's me. I'm the guy they're saying stuff about. I'm the guy that knows if it's true or a
lie. And now it's time to let you all in on the big secret. It's all true. What can I say. My God the pain I've had to endure keeping these secrets from you all these years...for shame. Alright I'm being sarcastic. What you need to enjoy about this is someone will read this and take it seriously. That's why it has always been so fun for me. I mean I embellished a story years ago
about a wrestling fan leaving me money and to this day there are people that
think I'm rich because of that story. It never happened. A wrestling fan with millions of dollars leaves it all to me, C'mon. The greatest thing about the wrestling business is that the lines between truth and just plain doodoo is so blurred that absolutely no one knows the difference anymore. Some guy will still claim that story is true because he told it and has no choice but to stick by it or look like an ass because he's been telling people for years
it's true. I have fun with it I think you should too.
Alright on to the serious stuff. I have also seen some of you informing each
other of my return date. What I can tell you is whatever you're reading right
now is B.S. I have not been contacted even once since I met with J.R. I signed my new contract and have heard absolutely nothing so your guesses are as good as anyone. My guess is no one knows what or where to put me and quite
frankly, neither do I. None of the writers know me. I haven't been around for a long time, it's a tough situation. I think everyone should just be
patient. It's always better to have a well thought out plan as opposed to
just being thrown out there. I'm certainly not going to complain about time
with the family. I am as ready as I'm going to get I think. I'm very nervous
about my first actual wrestling match. I know I've still got the huge ego
and everything but I'm nervous as hell. It's been one hell of a long time
since I've done anything remotely close to really trying to have a good
match. Being visually in shape and ring shape is very different. That's what I think I'm worried about most. I used to never "blow up"or get tired. Now
though,I just don't know. Should be interesting though. Look at it this way, all the people that don't like me but always had to admit I could wrestle
well should have a field day. Now I'll be a prick and a shitty wrestler. LOL. Now that's entertainment.
Wish me luck. I'll try to write one more commentary before we shut the site
down. Close down day is March,30. And no that does not mean I'll be returning then. That's when the site is going down. I'll talk to you soon.
Bye,
Shawn
