The Creative Team Brand Split - Building The Rosters

Oh, I am doing swimmingly, Cole.

We went on a bit of a hiatus, and it feels like everything has happened since we went on said hiatus.

Has anything newsworthy, noteworthy, tragic, anything taken place since we last spoke on here to our area people?

I mean... we got way too many goddamn 10 bell salutes going on in pro wrestling right now.

Uh, it's, it's brutal.

Uh, the last two EWF shows I've done, we had to have a 10 bell salute for local talent that has passed away.

Um, So Cal crazy this last weekend, uh, local wrestler, he'd been struggling in his fight against cancer for a very, very long time.

Uh, and, and, and was a friend, someone that Ron worked with and, and, you know, I never actually worked with him.

uh on a show but he was part of the friend group he's married to you know someone that's that's in the close friend group so uh you know nestor um i you know i never i never saw him with his mask on like most people who never saw him with his mask off but uh Yeah, I'm sick of 10 bell salutes.

But then in the wrestling world, we had a 70-year-old referee taking a pile driver in Mexico and passing away.

And I think the big news since the last time we spoke, the day after All Out, we lost Pac.

And it's just been a brutal run coming just after we lost Andy Williams, a.k.a.

The Butcher.

Um, which might've happened as well.

So, I mean, it's just, it's insane to, you know, lose five or six people, uh, within a month.

Uh, and, and it's, it's never fun to talk about, but, uh, you know, it is what it is.

Uh, would you like to, um, you know, talk a little bit about, let's start with SoCal crazy, our local, our, our friend.

I mean, yeah, SoCal Crazy, he was like a fixture in SoCal.

It's not often that we get to label someone as a legend in a specific area, but I think he would kind of fit that mold.

He is synonymous with SoCal for the past 20 years.

He shared locker rooms with everybody that's your favorite wrestler right now.

He was just kind of always there and just kind of like... held down the fort didn't really go beyond this state as far as his status goes but like I'll be damned if he wasn't in every single locker room every single promotion not one person had a bad thing to say about him like he just had that carte blanche like even back then when it was very territorial like oh you can't go there you can't come here if you go there that type of shit that's long since been dead recently but uh back when that was a thing i felt like he had a past just because of how good of a person he was right and he just contributed positively to any locker room and didn't discriminate anybody you know even even in the early 2000s where work rate was like really stepping up he saw the value in someone that looked like me like he had the time to do so as well then so uh an irreplaceable person in the wrestling business.

One of those guys that if you retire, he'd be one of those fingers that you count on as far as friends left over.

And I feel like there's a big void that will never be filled in a lot of people's personal friendships as well as the wrestling community in SoCal.

And yeah, I'm going to miss him dearly.
