Alrighty...let's see if I can remember the chain of events here...

Well last year in May I attended my first GPW show. From there I went to all of the shows they had that year, in North Sydney, and really started to think, "Hey, this might be something I'd actually like to do". I saw the link to the old GPW message board on a sign at one of the shows. I visited the board for a little while, and eventually I saw an ad on there for the newly formed Island Wrestling Federation. They were having a sign up session in Sydney at the beginning of July, so my friend Tara and I went and signed up. So I joined the IWF, and valeted 2 fundraiser "shows" with them. I quit before I could recieve my training (I quit at the beginning of May this year).

I ended up attending a RAW show back in November and had a lot of fun. Sometime in December I emailed Kowboy about doing a website for him, and ended up getting the go ahead. Kowboy mentioned to me about wanting to get me booked for RAW sometime in January, but the promotor then (Skot Gallant) wanted to see pics of me wearing what I would wear to the ring first. I didn't have any pics like that, so nothing ever really came of it.

In April after me telling off numerous people on the RAW message board for thinking I was a rat, someone commented that they thought I should be a valet with RAW, they got a kick out of how I told the guys off or something, and that I should valet for Wildman. Wildman and I had just became really good friends at the time, and I was talking to him like the next day. He had seen that on there and was all for it, he thought it would be a great idea to have me valeting for him.

Then after a show in May RAW co-owner Brian Marchand came up to me and asked me about putting some posters up around North Sydney for them. I said sure, and a few weeks later when he was dropping off the posters to me in North Sydney he said that he would like to bring me in for some shows this summer, he could see that I really was serious about doing it.

I told Gary about Brian mentioning that to me, so of course he called Brian and told him that I was going to be valeting for him, and no one else of course. Brian then talked to me after the North Sydney show on June 21st, and told me he wanted me to start at the next North Sydney show, plus I could do whatever shows I could get to other than those...possibly touring full time next year when they have more money. Gary called me, filled me in on what was going on for the show, and the rest is history LOL.
