| PSYCHO'S COMMENTARY |

| May 17th, 2002 HELLO EVERYONE! I'm back! Well, actually, if you have been to any of my shows lately you will have known that I never really left. But for those of you that rely on my website to keep up with me, then for you I am back. I wondered if I had lost any fans with the switch of websites and with what happened to the other website. Maybe I did. Maybe I didn't. But what I can tell you is that with this being my first week back, I've gotten a lot of traffic to my website this week. In fact, so much so, that it was the third highest ammount of hits in a week that I've ever had. This site only suffered a drop of 23 hits from the last week before it got hacked into. And that week before that had happened was the most traffic I'd ever gotten in a week. So that should tell you that I haven't lost that many fans. But then again, maybe I did lose fans, but I've just gained fans also in the process? I don't know. It's hard to tell. It's just good to be back, and I hope to keep growing my fan base and hopefully soon it will surpass the number of fans I used to have. Now, I have a lot to talk about. First thing I want to address is the changes to my site. As you can see, this site looks completely different from how it used to look. I've had several people tell me that it's much improved. I agree, and I only want to keep improving so that my fans get the most out of my site that they possibly can. You may have already noticed that there are new pics up on this site. I will be posting even more pics over the weekend, so you'll want to come back and check that out. Another change is that I will no longer be reporting my Match Of The Week here in my commentaries. Now before I get lots of e-mails asking me why, let me finish. The reason you won't be seeing those in my commentaries anymore is because they are getting their own section here on the site. Yep, that's right, starting tomorrow there will be a page here on the site letting you all know what my Match Of The Week is each and every week. Look for it on the main page starting tomorrow afternoon. In the coming weeks, I will be adding new features as need be on my site. If you would like to see a chat room added to my site e-mail me and let me know. I'll probably only add that though if there are at least a few people that would want that. I'd hate for there to be only one person in there all the time LOL. It'll probably get added eventually though as my fan base grows. Gosh, this is turning into a book and I haven't even gotten into me leaving IPW yet. LOL. A lot has happened since I last wrote a commentary so I'm going to fill you all in right now. As many of you know, on April 21st, my old site got hacked into. I just got back from being out of town at the time to see what had happened to the site. I'm sure you all know what it had been directed to. But not only my site suffered this fate. It was also the IPW site. Now that I am no longer with IPW I'm sure I can let you all know that I was indeed running both my site and the IPW site. However, now seems like a good time to dispell some rumors and some misconceptions. Everything that I put on the IPW site I was either told to put on there or I checked to see if it was ok to put on there. As far as the IPW Year End Awards go, I did not give myself any awards. I didn't have anything to do with who those awards went to. IPW Promoter, Jamon Chiniquy, gave the final "OK" on who got those awards. Some of you already knew that I was running both sites, but many of you did not, so I thought I'd address that. It was very stressful running both sites, and dividing my time between both sites meant that one of the sites had to be neglected. And too often my own site was the one that was neglected. I apologize for that. But the good news is that I can now focus on one site and one site only. Since April 21st, I also wrestled at IPW's Power Play event on April 27th.. It was a great show and I had a great match. Hworang brought out the best in me, and in the end my hand was raised in victory. The fans were great in Orem. Now to the reason I no longer wrestle for Intermountain Pro Wrestling. There are really a lot of reasons that forced me to part ways with them. It basically came down to the fact that I didn't like what was happening with the promotion. First of all, they decided to run a show that consisted of mainly backyard wrestling teenagers on the show. That, to me, is bad business. I couldn't be working for a promotion that was letting untrained backyard wrestlers work matches in the ring. These kids were young too. I pray that none of them were younger than 14, but I'm not so sure. It just makes everybody look bad. Most of us trained wrestlers have trained for a long time before getting a match and there's a reason for that. You have to be trained before you can work a match in front of a crowd. It gives us all a bad name when you let kids play around in the ring. This isn't supposed to be something that just any kid off the street should be allowed to do. It is a privelige to work in the ring in front of a crowd. It's not something that we should just give to everybody before working hard for it. Grogenstein, Brick Alexander, and I all trained for a year before we had our first match. Storm trained almost that long too before she had her first match. You can't train yourself either. You have to have somebody who knows what they are doing teach you. I'm not the only one that felt this way, cause just about every big name they had quit the promotion in protest. One other thing that doesn't make sense is that IPW changed it's name to All American Wrestling (APW). I don't understand that when IPW was building a name for itself here with all the good press it was getting from Fox 13 News and Fluid Television on UPN. That doesn't even take into account the radio advertising. It's just something that doesn't make sense to me. IPW was starting to build a name brand here in Utah, and now they have to start all over with the name change. Although, now, I don't know what talent they will be using to fill a whole show with. So that about sums up why I'm no longer wrestling for Intermountain Professional Wrestling anymore. I, however, am not missing a step as I have shows lined up with the Global Wrestling Alliance (GWA) and I also have agreed to work for Power Omega Wrestling (POW). I am also in discussions with a few other promotions to get booked in so as soon as there is new information you'll hear about it right here on my site. Now, let's end this very lengthy commentary with some WWE Judgment Day predictions. Hulk Hogan vs. The Undertaker "Undisputed WWE World Title Match" Prediction: The Undertaker Triple H vs. Chris Jericho "Hell In A Cell Match" Prediction: Chris Jericho Steve Austin vs. Ric Flair & The Big Show "Handicap Match" Prediction: Ric Flair & The Big Show Kurt Angle vs. Edge "Hair vs. Hair Match" Prediction: Edge Rob Van Dam vs. Eddie Guerrero "I.C. Title Match" Prediction: Rob Van Dam The Hardy Boyz vs. Brock Lesnar & Paul Heyman Prediction: Brock Lesnar & Paul Heyman Trish Stratus vs. Stacy Keibler "WWE Women's Title Match" Prediction: Trish Stratus That's all the matches I know, although I'm sure there will be others added. Come back soon for all the updates to my site over the weekend and I'll be back here with another commentary next week. Laterz. -Psycho |
