Wow, I thought that I was the only person that could type that much in one shot!

>First off Brian wasn't
>there yet, and he had to wait to hear from Brian what
>he wanted to do with me for the show.
Not a healthy sign when the promoter isn`t around by that time. I guess it explains all the running around he does from 6 to 7!

>Secondly
>Kingman had decided that after the North Sydney show
>they were all going to drive back to Halifax for the
>night, which couldn't have made less sense, seeing as
>they were in Port Hawksbury the next day.
I couldn`t figure this out- we found out that they were going to Halifax after the North Sydney show. Why?

>Apparently Brian has decided to be the typical lying
>promotor.
I wonder why people get into this business. There seems to be no money in it for the promoters, and it`s hell for the wrestlers until they make it to the bigtime (which most don`t). Truly for the love of the sport I guess!
Do any wrestling promoters NOT lie?

> NOW
>he's decided that I take too much of the attention
>away from Wildman, and that he's only going to use me
>to valet when it's needed for storyline purposes.
That could get very tacky. When you pop up people will know something strange is going to happen. It reminds how me of how Stephanie was introduced to the WWF.

>I just kind of gave him a weird
>look and was like....ummm...noooooo. About 10 minutes
>later he comes back, "You sure you're feeling ok
>Cathy?"
This is funny because one of the people I was sitting with commented on how you were laughing your ass off!

> Me and
>Tara amused ourselves by reading the little black
>electronic sign above the canteen...we were that damn
>bored.
Yeah that would get old in about 30 seconds!

Gary finally came out, and let me tell you, he
>was a mess. That was the most blood that he had ever
>lost during a match.
Wow. I knew it was a vicious job when I saw it, but I didn`t know if was that bad.

>He had arranged to get a lift to
>PH with Brian the next day instead of going back to
>halifax
Maybe it was part of an elaborate scheme to avoid going back to Halifax...

>He actually
>asked the girl at KFC if he could have a pint of blood.
Hah! This is hilarious!

> I slept for most of the ride,
>but Brian was talking about the Global thing there.
>They had a representative from Global at the Halifax
>show the night before, and the guy loved it.
Our "Halifax correspondent" Corey told me that there was a guy from Global doing some filming at the show, and that they did a spot on it on the news. I forgot to set the timer and I ended up missing it.

>Especially when Chaos was doing to whole Keintai bit.
>"Jooooooooooseph....you think you are legend, well I
>am Haaaaaaaaardcoooooooore legend!"
Interesting... they haven`t run that in North Sydney yet.

>All I know other than that is they are
>going to have 4 cameras there, and only use 3 sides of
>the ring for seating.
Hmm... I guess they`d take the side out in front of the canteen out in North Sydney. That would really screw up the dynamics of the arena. Everyone seems to love their front row seats, so with less of them, there will be some battles.

>Brian was talking about the
>Like the first time Brian reffed a
>match it was buddy lane and someone else, the guy had
>Buddy in a submission and brian is yelling "Do you
>give Lane, do you give!!!!" Buddy looks up and him
>and very matter of factly says, "YEP!" brian gets all
>confused, because Buddy is not supposed to give...he
>just stumbled over his words a few times and yells,
>"Do you give?" again.
Hilarious!

Gary was then telling a story
>about a ref out in Calgary who put push thumtacks in
>between all of his fingers, so when he was checking
>Gary's tights he had Gary dancing a jig because he
>didn't know what the fuck was poking in him.
Ouch.

>no such luck so we went outside and passed
>out in the grass for a little while, we were fuckin
>tired.
Yikes! Indy wrestling is as rough as I pictured it, sleeping on the grass!

>Custom asked me to do the
>same thing I had done the night before with the stooge
>job, so I was fine with that.
I can`t imagine this working in PH. I mean, I`m sure most of the crowd in North Sydney was like, "Hey`s that Wildgirl." But most people there would be clueless.

>I finally got to
>formally meet Massive Damage too...he's one funny
>mother fucker.
He probably came up with the Jesse/Nick schtick for himself.

>I was surprised to
>hear that he doesn't get paid to do the website.
That is surprising.

>It's so low that when Gary is standing on the
>second rope his head is touching the ceiling, and he's
>not even that tall.
That would really screw up a lot of workers. How does CCM do his frog splash?

> Apparently at this point Massive
>Damage was out back trying to make his leg bleed
>more...crazy fucker loves scars.
He`s a hardcore nut!
That glass must have really screwed up the show- that`s up there with the ring mishaps!

>Oh yeah, one more thing, Gary gave me a tape of his
>old band, Tormented, who are actually very good. He
>was the lead singer, they have good stuff.
I wonder if you can find them on any music search engines. I`ll give it a shot if I get time.

>It's

That should be good... I remember that BMN (BRIEFLY) talked to Emile about a rock and wrestling event... it should happen.
