FROM THE HORSE'S MOUTH....8/18/10
We're going out of the pot and into the fire this month, upon posting
this I will either be understood or completely done with SHIMMER.
First, I really must thank whomever felt the need to repost my blog a
few months ago on the SHIMMER board. Not only did you misconstrue my
words and flat out put wrongful meaning to my thoughts, you also got
me heat at a company I emjoyed being a part of and censure from those
in charge.
I am not booked on the upcoming shows in September and
while there has been no verbal confrimation that it is because of the
reposting, I have a very good feeling it is because of the heat that
was unnecessarily caused by the person stirring crap up for no reason.
This person could have easily emailed me to clarify but instead
decided to take something I had written for MY site and repost it
without my permission and without complete understanding of what I was
saying.
What I actually said was "while at SHIMMER I came to the
realization......" Since SHIMMER is the only place I actually
watch the whole show, or at least as much as possible, it is of
course there that I would have revelations about the biz and my place
in it. It is also the place that I would see the evolution of
wrestling the clearest since it is comprised of today's top talent and
tomorrow's future stars.
In this case, my revelation was the evolution of
wrestling from the slower-paced matches that focused on methodical
psycology and telling an in-ring story to today's faster paced
performances with high risk moves done throughout between opponents
who are just stepping into the ring for the first time together in
front of that particular audience.
This was in NO WAY me "ripping" on SHIMMER in any way shape or form. It was simply a statement of fact
about the direction the industry has taken and the evolution of the
sport over the time frame of my career; which led me to question my
place in today's world of wrestling and question whether or not it was
time for me to exit the scene. SHIMMER has had some really good feuds
and storylines and while I cannot fathom having the ability of some of
these women, I can certainly appreciate the talent it takes and
dedication they have to have learned the high-risk stuff they do. After all, it really wasn't that long ago that Scott Steiner first did
the Frankensteiner and everyone was in shock.... ok, maybe it was a
while ago, but at the time it was HUGE. Then Vader with the moonsault!
These were not moves you saw often, much less done by the bigger guys,
now they are high-spots in most matches.
When was the last time you watched a match, the end of a great feud
and sat on the edge of your seat counting with the ref or babyface for
each pin that only reached 2? When was the last time you watched a
show and felt the agnst and frustration of the babyface, truely hated
the heal no matter how incredible their talent was? When was the last
time you had to actully wonder if tempers were lost or if the
submission hold was causing true pain? When is the last time the
energy of the wrestlers in the ring transcended the moves and you were
lost in the story being told rather than simply being entertained?
Until next month XXOO
