Why Rely On The Unreliable?
by Dave Robinson
I promised you a new column, and here it is. I havn't wrote a column for a while now, as I didn't really have a subject which I wanted to comment on. I know that this is a problem for the other columnists on the site. However, now I do have a subject and hopefully it will spiral off onto other tangents which may inspire others to produce a column.
So, why rely on the unreliable? Why are so many of the main eventers at St. Lukes' Church Wrestling the most unlikely to turn up? I feel that we have all got very complacent, and me included, have accepted this as a way of life. Well I am sick and tired of it. I know full well that I am going to be criticised for this column, but in all honesty I don't care. Why should I and so many other's sit back and work non-camera shows due to the fact that the 'superstars' can't make it?
I bust my ass every week wrestling anybody who I am booked against. I had a very good run last Volume as the Kid Napper, but feel that this has been swept under the carpet. This Volume has been an absolute nightmare for me. I have come very close to quitting this company on more than one occasions. My heart has not been with it this volume. I am hoping for a big payoff, but even if I get when, when will it be~? Volume 37?
And I have 'paid my dues.' Just because I havn't been at St. Lukes from the start doesn't mean I don't deserve the same privilages. Manson, Boden, Smith, Sid, Moriarty, Thanatos. All at St. LCW from the start. So what is the problem with someone else running with the ball? Is the company scared of change?
Mimic Master. Mark Clarke. Best Wrestler, Volume 10. Title shot? Yes. European. Please. Where is his World Title shot?
Se7en. David Robinson. Best Wrestler, Volume 11. Title shot? Yes. European @ Tides of Change.
See the pattern?
I do not need to name names though. Everybody knows who is unreliable and who isn't going to turn up unless they have got their own way. You may be calling me pathetic. But I need to let this out.
When is the torch going to be passed to Hayden Williams, Jason Sensation and the Daddy? Yes, Jason is IC champ - no offence to Jason, but it's more like IC chump due to the fact that he has jobbed literally every match since winning the 'prestigious' title, none title of course. None title? What's the point of being champ when you are losing to people who don't even watch wrestling, respect wrestling or f**king TURN UP.
There are many other things which I could touch on concerning this subject, but hopefully this will provide food for thought. I am going to leave it there, read your responses in the good old guestbook (cheap pop) and take it from there.
Please leave your comments in the GB.
