Shimmer turns 20 and I talked about their history and influence.

This Omni card with the Ole-Dusty 'Minnesota Loggers Match' was brought up by @philschneider.bsky.social on his Piper/Buzz Way Of The Blade episode. It's actually a Blindfold Match and of course they cut great promos on TV to build it up.

I got to help run a show in the ECW Arena last night in honor of my friend, his family was in the front row. Some of my best friends were there and helping Blue Panther wrestled on the show. Blessed beyond belief

D3AN~~!!! was so much fun. The lucha maestros trios blew my high expectations away. Demus/Mad Dog was an excellent wager match. Undercard and Collision were super solid. The tributes to Dean were awesome! Thanks @philschneider.bsky.social @actiondean.bsky.social for an awesome night.

I was at the Demus vs. Connelly dog collar match. It's one of the most insane things I've ever seen live. I can only imagine what they have planned without a tether at the former ECW Arena in a lucha de apuestas.

Here we go! We are cooking up some awesome stuff for this show! Stay tuned!!
