If I leave here tomorrow, will you still remember me?


Probably not! It is true, last night in Indianapolis for IPW, I announced that I will be saying "fairwell" to something I love to do, Pro wrestling.

There's a lot of factors for the decision.

1. Sophia Pilar Logsdon, my 2 month old baby girl. She already has me wrapped around her little finger.

2. My "Shoot" job. This is what pays the bills. It's time I start concentrating on this a little bit more.

3. My confidence. I'm about a decade older than most of the wrestlers in the same position as me. I don't feel like i'm giving the fans or promoters there hard earn moneys worth when I wrestle. That really bothers me. I know the fans deserve better.

I have loved Pro wrestling since I was 7 years old. I love it all. I have tapes and DVDs of it ALL!! Old school, New school, Lucha Libre, Japan, British style, Hardcore, WWF, WWE, WCW, NWA, AWA, ECW, WORLD CLASS to the great wrestlers like Tully Blanchard, Ric Flair, The Freebirds, Ricky Steamboat, Tracy Smothers and so..so many more. The flips, the flops, the hard hitting, the great promos, the great characters, Good v.s Evil, I love it all. I can say that I never made a living at Pro wrestling, BUT...I can say I lived my dream and did things that I thought would never happen. I have met incredible people whether they be wrestlers or fans. I wrestled legends and I wrestled some future greats in this business. People liked me, people hated me. I got to travel to some places, I got to eat a actual Philly Cheesesteak in Philiadelphia, and I got to visit Disney World because of wrestling. I wrestled in Flea markets, Pizza joints, on a demolition derby track, and all the way to the ECW Arena. I have not only got to meet some workers who I was fans of, but also became friends with them. It seems like yesterday, I was being trained by Dory Funk. Where does the time go?

On January 3rd my 8 year journey of a business that I love will come to a end. In Indianapolis, Indiana, for IPW, I will say "goodbye" to the "boys" and the "fans" one more time, against ROH and Japan star Davey Richards. I hope to see a lot of familiar faces. Lets make this night one big Party! And I won't complain if you want to give me any presents jk. Till we meet again!
