Journal 7
by Tony Kozina on 1999-11-24
Ohhhh,
it's been a hectic few weeks, and i've been running around
crazier than a hound dog in a hub cap factory. My girlfriend,
Chris recently bought me the Mick Foley book which is
an absolute must read. I'm well over half way done with
it. In fact on the long 6 hour drive to a recent ECCW/NWA-PNW
show in Port Hardy, B.C. I began reading aloud to the
others in the ECCW van. As the hours went by, we switched
off reading and we all laughed, cringed, and enjoyed the
drive while reading through the book. That was perhaps
my favorite driving experience. The book inspired all
of us. Especially Juggernaut, and Moondog Manson, who
in the finals of the one-night Hardcore Hell Tournament
ripped into each other like i've never seen. They went
through barbed wire, and thumbtacks, and used ladders,
and chairs. I couldn't believe my eyes. It was absolutely
incredible, and the people went nuts for it.
Later in the evening, I was joking with TORCH, and said
"just imagine what we'll try to do once we get our hands
on that Dynamite Kid book."
The next few months looks to be slow, but I'm hoping to
get out and wrestle in different places.
Again, a BIG thank you for all the support from those
who have absolutely flooded the NWA forum on my behalf
for a crack at the NWA World Jr. Heavyweight Championship.
Your support shows me I must be doing something right.
I did an interview for the Vancouver Sun newspaper recently,
and was supposed to do one over the internet for the Victoria
News, but my blasted keyboard broke on me so I missed
the deadline. Oh well, what can you do.
I have been getting more into the business side of wrestling
lately, doing some promotional work for ECCW/NWA-PNW on
Vancouver Island. It's a chance for me to really dig in
and learn about the business. What it takes to run a show
and all the work that goes with it. I read somewhere that
when ECW was first starting up some of the wrestlers did
advertising work, postering, or other promotional work
in an effort to help ECW grow and prosper. Well, it looks
like whatever they did has paid off, so I have decided
to try and do the same here in ECCW. Hopefully it will
help ECCW to continue growing into the new millennium.
Have a great Thanksgiving everyone!!!
