I’m definitely in the camp that Jey is the new Boogie Woogie Man.
Also, visiting Jimmy’s school/museum in SW VA is amazing. I also did with a pod with him for those interested.

Buddies went up to the camp about 8 or so years ago around Thanksgiving IIRC.

I think its more (with me) that I just don't get the marking over Jimmy. The gimmick is just soooooo weird. I get that it's super enthusiastic and family friendly and wacky, but... guess you had to be there.
Jimmy just has this charisma that works better in person. Had seen him for years on TV and liked him. Then a decade ago was helping out on a show he worked in North MS.
(yes same show where he got asked about the glass table story and replied with Brother I am tired of the lies and half truths about me on the internet... it was the Midnights that walked in not the Rock n Rolls)
In person there is something about Jimmy that just makes you smile. And he had to be late 70s when I saw him that time.-

Next week will be the best birthday week/weekend for me. Day before is Dynamite, turn 36 on Thursday (Collision), I'm off work that weekend and that's when Supercard of Honor, All In, Evolution and SNME happen. Not to mention whatever indies are running shows in the Texas area that weekend that'll be on IWTV or Fite. I'm gonna overdose on cake and wrestling, y'all.
I suck at math but if that is july 10th congrats.
I hit 51 that day. Got a show 2 days afterwards,and unlike every other show happening near my birthday most years,this one is inside and they got A/C.-

Got on the VS Red Rock West Blu ray. Already a mega improvement on the old 4:3 DVD i found 20 years ago at a Dollar General.
Loved this film since the now ex wife rented it one night in the mid 90s. Neo Noir with Nic Cage,Dennis Hopper and Lara Flynn Boyle. Cage is a drifter in Wyoming. Gets mistaken for a hitman that is coming in to kill someones cheating wife.-

I enjoyed it for its friends getting together and making a movie aesthetics. The disc came doubled with the same director's previous film Night of Terror, which I enjoyed a lot. It's more of a straight ghost story. The noble Confederate stuff in both of them have not aged well at all, as both movies are about a troop of soldiers that suffered atrocities at the hands of the Union army
Seems like every video store back in the 80s had that one horror movie that was never in and had a great box cover. Curse of Was that film for me.
Then 2003/2004 ish Brentwood licensed a pile of titles from Troma and put out multipacks. One I got had Curse on it.
Hell yea,called the buddies. Talked the then wife into going to see her parents with the kid that evening. Gonna sit there drink beer,smoke and just enjoy a film I had wanted to see for over 20 years.
If I had seen it in the mid 80s I would have enjoyed it enough to make a copy. But by early 2000s it was another that I saw once off dvd and it sat on the shelf until someone I knew moved and had nothing to watch but dvds. Gave her close to 200 different horror films on DVD. Not all as bad as Curse.-

Got a gift card for my favourite video store a couple months ago and finally got a chance to use it today. Had an unexpected day off so went to a matinee of The Phoenician Scheme (loved it) and the theatre is in the same mall.
The Curse of the Screaming Dead aka Curse of the Cannibal Confederates (1982, dir. Tony Malanowski)
If I'm thinking of the right film... Got it on dvd from Troma and the cover is better than the film. Film aint horrid but can't live up to that title.

Sting vs. Cactus Jack
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=So8L4evPR9c
They had another singles match in TNA in 2009. Mick Foley gimmick instead of Cactus Jack.
For a long time this was my favorite match I saw in person. 5th row right next to the ramp. Drunk as hell with my Dad and two cousins. Vender started serving me beer once he learned I was shipping out in 2 months for Army BCT.

Why was Davey blacklisted? Did he do a suplex that ended up going all the way out of the ring, out the front door and in through the back?
Short version I got told was asked to get paid in advance. Then never contacted booker to let them know Davey was taking a closer booking. Might be more to it not sure.
Byron Willcot is on the list. I know of more non-wrestlers on the list than wrestlers. No one yall would have heard of. A few refs,some ring announcers and a commentary team. Last one was a combo of one guy already having heat with most of the roster and having never been to a show so far,and the other guy then trying to get paid twice...

I've never heard of this guy before. *Looks him up*
Oh, he's from Waco. That explains everything.Pretty sure he is blackballed from most feds in TX.
I know he is on my local fed's Davey Richard list. So named cause Davey Richard was the first to catch a ban from the fed 16 or 17 years ago.-

Masada also beat his wife or girlfriend too apparently.
In 2009 or whenever I was watching regular Big Japan, Masada was the big stiff gaijin dude with all the facial piercings who beat the crap out of people. I don't even remember seeing the skewers, I just remember him being a crowbar.
Yea he beat his GF. And was one of the ones implicated in the Andy Dalton speaking out stuff.

Jinder Mahal is a TV wrestler. Masada is a long time hardcore/deathmatch wrestler, and the originator of the yakitori skewers to the head when he was in Big Japan Pro Wrestling. mahal showed up and refused to do hardcore and walked out on the match. I think that it is storyline.
Masada is a dick. Was at at VIP <DFW based fed> show. Promoter made sure everyone knew the rules.
1.No brawling near the new projector2.no grabbing anything off merch tables to hit each other with.
Masada ,who was tehre when the rules were laid down. Brawled out of the ring knocked over the projector. Then tried to grab my laptop off the table. I told him to stop got called a "F@g mark ass bitch" Then refused to catch Keith Lee on a dive out of the ring.Someone not booked that day,who was in Texas at the time and had a Peacock Docu-series made on them,went into the locker room and told Masada "I'm walking to my car either you got balls and will come fight me . Or you are a pussy ass fucker and wont"
Masada got up got his pay and went out the other door and left.-

Ringside cam
Round 2 Down on the Bayou tourny
Rey Fury vs RJWTwo faces. RJW normally in BIW tags up with Gio Savage as Muddy Waters.
Rey is one of those guys that wrestles 2 or 3 times a week. Spending most of the weekend traveling. Has a great table set up. And merch...He sold Rey Fury F Bath Bombs at one time.
RJW is one of the funniest guys in the area. Always love seeing him. He sells whips at his table.
Best RJW moment,and his wife was next to me filming from the balcony when this happened.
Ocean Springs MS is a former sundown town. AWA PRO for 2 years ran at least once a month in the OS civic center.
RJW was facing Nightmare Jeremiah. Jeremiah carries a chain to the ring. RJW got the whip. Spot was he chains Nightmare to the cornerpost with Nightmares back to the inside of the ring. Then RJW whips him.
I had been told this was gonna happen so had went up in the balcony to film it. Get up there there is RJW's wife with their camera.
I see Nightmare getting "chained" to the ring post. RJw gets back gets his whip and yells "REPERATIONS!"His wife just shook her head and started laughing. I was trying to no laugh since I was filming handheld.

Main event DOG COLLAR MATCH
If Steve Anthony wins Southern Royalty must disband. If King Rob Love wins Steve must rejoin SR and "Be my BITCH"
So years back Steve pulled a massive heel move on everyone. Dude faked dying in the ring...
He retired and came back 2 years ago for limited dates.
King Rob Love took over Southern Royalty after steve left,and really made it better. At one time they controled the tag and Southern Heavyweight titles.Last dog collar match left a bloody handprint on the wall and a chair covered in blood. that was apoc vs nightmare jeremiah,footage is on the channel.
This one,i got clued in early on "Going all over,there will be blood,all of SR does a run in. Keep the kids and idiots back."
Which means stay close while filming and anyone gets close throw an arm out.I haven't seen Steve uses the Mythian Warrior outfit since he faced Pentagon Jr down in Meuraux LA right when LU was hitting the airwaves.
As of right now,it's wrestling retirements do not stick,this is the last in ring action in BIW for Nightmare Jeremiah.

Round 2 BIW Down on the Bayou Tournement match
Was suppose to be Exodus Prime vs Apoc Adam AsherAnd yes the town this was held in LOVES Apoc. I dont think you could fill a venue out in Texas where he is from with his family and get a louder pop when he came out. APoc had to pull out. No replacement was mentioned.
I see Exodus Prime come in. Talked to him for a second. Then later I see this guy that looks like Grady and Rollo from Sanford and Son had a kid. Just figured he was a buddy that rode in with one of the cars from TX, BIW mostly uses LA and TX talent.
That Grady/Rollo looking dude is Chip Mandalay. And I wasn't expecting much out of this match. Stole the show for me. So glad I got it filmed from ringside. Great back and forth action. Wish the crowd was a bit more into it.Odds are this will make my top 10 matches i saw live in 2025 list.

Same show as last match I posted. This is from my camera on the stage,i am ringside in a grey shirt filming
Rey Fury vs RJWRound 2 of the Down on the Bayou tournement.
BIW is running this tournament. Most shows having 1 or 2 matches from it on the line up.
Rey Fury is a FL based now wrestler that has been all over the south. Worked NWA,AEW Dark and IWA MS.He also since about a year into his career ,2014ish is when he started,has used Yeet Yeet as a catchphrase
"Gimme two claps and a Yeet Yeet"Not long after Rey left the Jackson MS area to move to Pensacola Jey Uso started using Yeet. Now sure Rey never filed the paperwork to own the phrase. And with Rey being a masked wrestler one of hte local jokes is it is Jey Uso under the mask.
The day of this show was 2 days before Rey's birthday. So I had him two small gift. I know his snack of choice is gummi worms. He walks in and I tossed him a bag.
What he didnt know was I was the one to set up the locker room. WWE has these blind bag wrestler heads. That you put oon your thumb for thumb wrestling. I got a box cheap. Opened every pack and sell them at my table 3 bucks each or 4 for 10 bucks. I had kept a Jey Uso head.
As I was setting out the chairs in the locker room. Knowing Rey normally sits in the corner i left that head on the corner chair.RJW is another in the area that should be better known. Big dude,height and mass wise. But like Terry Gordy he can move when needed.

I passed by the vacuum store again earlier today and got another look at the ancient, yellow sign in the window -- the kind where you fit the plastic letters in the grooves, like an old fast food restaurant or movie theater, or just some shit on the roadside. It read something like: "X VACUUM CLEANER, 10 YEAR WARRANTY" and below, "SURRENDER TO JESUS, LIFETIME SALVATION"
And yeah, Seth is his top performer, not an accountant
Most local business got something like that on their signs. But then a town of under 5k with 200 churches I am not surprised.

Great.. searching Gia Michaels on Google to try to find out and apparently there's a porn star named Gianna Michaels. Time to delete the browsing history.
(It's Gia Michel by the way... and her WOW name is Gigi Gianni. lol)
SHit sorry I am horrible with names.
She took on a rookie out of Texas named Catalina. Decent match. Crowd had no idea who either was. But got behind the match and both ladies had a big line at their tables. I got a signed pic and need to add it to the wall. Just gotta figure out where I put it.-

There's actually a vacuum & sewing machine repair shop in the town I reside. I was there once to have a vacuum repaired for the funeral home I was working at. It was run by an old man who had his dog in the store. I think I can safely say it wasn't a drug front.
When I first moved to this area I was wondering why a town this small and this poor had 12 or so boutique clothing stores on the main street and then a shoe repair shop.
Figured at least one was a front. Shoe repair place is one that has been in that family for 3 generations. The locals go there to get new dress shoes and boots. Do think they do much shoe repair.
And the clothing boutiques are mostly used by folks from outside the area. One is a wedding place that you got people coming in from Jackson and the coast to get dresses.

Independent Wrestling in 2025
in FEDS JUST TRYING TO MAKE A BUCK
Posted
Got a show tonight about an hour southeast of me. Small new indie that has had 2 show so far.
No names outside this area on the card. Still should be fun. Worst case I can see how many just odd conversations I over hear when out front taking a smoke break.
