So, You wanna be a promoter?
by Ric Drasin on 2001-11-28

Ever wonder how to start your own wrestling federation? If so, Ric Drasin is kind enough to supply a capsule handbook on the art, which has been modified for reproduction here:

ASW at the Cloverdale Fairgrounds: A review
by Jeff Ranger on 2001-11-25

Well, that was well worth the trip out to the sticks.

It had been ages since I was out in Cloverdale to see wrestling, ages since I had written of Tim Flower’s moribund International Championship Wrestling (ICW). When word arrived that ...[More]

Go Outside and Play!
by Sam Halsall on 2001-11-24

There's nothing quite as entertaining as a backyard wrestler. Or at least, watching Dan Titus take the piss out of one.

At a wrestling show about a month ago, Dan got into an argument with local backyard wrestler New Ladies' Choice. We would ...[More]

ET CETERA - Smart fans are fickle, aren't you?
by Jay Spree on 2001-11-22

Well, SmarkDVD is gone, and I’m back to only having to do one writeup a week. Hopefully, this should encourage me to update regularly and on time, although as I write this, I’m already a day late. Still, just ...[More]

A column,ok?
by Dan Titus on 2001-11-20

First off, Manson's been whining about the length of my titles, so I opted to take the minimalist approach to placate him. It's really funny, I devote an entire column to women I wanna slip the hot beef injection to, and he complains about the length o...[More]

ET CETERA
by Jay Spree on 2001-11-16

Hello and welcome, once again.

Deepest apologies for my prolonged absence – essays and projects and all that. I’m actually pretty burned out – take today for example; having worked all night and gone to bed around 4:30, I got up for a four-h...[More]

Living the Dream...
by The NWG on 2001-11-14

First off, I just wanted to say that I thought the last ECCW show was very good, and wanted to congraulate the people on a good show. It was great to get a chance to meet Madison, Ray (after so long) and Scotty Mac during the show. It also ruled to f...[More]

Moondog Bites
by Moondog Manson on 2001-11-13

Well this one is a shocker and some thing totally out of the blue. I some how am booked to work shots for ECCW. This is odd for several reasons. Mostly I have up until a few days ago sworn to never work for them ever again. Secondly I see lots of things w...[More]

If I knew it was gonna be this kinda party, I would have put my dick in the mashed potato's.
by Dan Titus on 2001-11-10

I would like to begin this column by answering a question posed to me by Marty Goldstein on the Manson.com forum.

The question was: "How many backyard wrestlers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?". The answer is simple: Three. One to screw...[More]

Best Wishes for All
by Terry Joe Silverspoon on 2001-11-05

This artical may be a little premature, it's not quite the new year. Some interesting developments in the local area. Tim Flowers giving up Cloverdale was quite a shock to me. Personally I find it hard to believe that Tim would shut down ICW. As you...[More]

Injuries in Bodybuilding & Wrestling

Everyone has suffered an injury of sorts over time and it has limited their performance in sports or everyday living. In bodybuilding torn muscles are more common now than ever. This is mainly because of the use of steroids and steroid 'like' substances...[More]

Is Wrestling Fake?
by Ric Drasin on 2001-11-03

The standard question when you meet someone and tell them that you’re a Wrestler is, "Oh, Wrestling is fake". "You guys don’t really fall do you?" What a stupid question. No we don’t really fall, you just imagine that’s what you’re seeing. See we’re stil...[More]
