A Friendly Disclaimer

Let me begin by saying how amazed I am by the number of hits the page has received since the weekend and the IYFW Coronation Cup event! Unique visitors have doubled since Sunday and have grown every day. Wild and fun to watch! Thank you for following the site, be sure to bookmark it if you haven't already, and stop back often. Knowing people are into your stuff is a huge motivator to keep things moving forward with it!

I did want to take an opportunity to make a brief, almost self-explanatory disclaimer about this page and my opinions:

I was recently approached via a private message on theburninghammer.com by an IYFW wrestler who took issue with my comments on his performance at the Coronation Cup event. I'm not going to name the guy or go into the details of our correspondence out of respect, but I think the exchange raised a point that should be addressed.

I am simply a fan. I am not at all a trained wrestler. I'm just a "mark" that buys tickets, buys dvd's, merchandise, etc. I get that. That being said, I AM a fan. Fans have opinions. Fans share their opinions with other fans. In an entertainment and performance industry such as Professional Wrestling, there is a certain level of critique that should be expected. I am an aspiring song writer and screw-around musician. When I perform in public, I don't expect EVERY person to LOVE what I am doing. Not every fan is going to feel the same way, or see the same thing, as every other fan. I understand that perhaps his concern was that other fans or his peers or people unfamiliar with him would read MY OPINION and thus their opinion of him might be tarnished.

I get that.

But that is kind of the nature of this blog and of what I do. It's about MY OPINION. I am sure that there was someone in the crowd that night that hated the show. Or thought that this unnamed wrestler was amazing. Maybe they will blog about it. Maybe they won't.

So, to sum it up... I am not here in an attempt to sabotage anyones career OR to act as a defacto arm of an Indy Promotions public relations department. I answer to no one and am basically in this to share my opinions with other wrestling fans - nothing more. If you don't agree with my opinion and are in a position to change my opinion... Have at it.

As always, thanks for reading.

  1. My guess is that it was Scarsdale.
    Good review, haven't been to an iyfw show in a long while. May check out the next one. You make them seem like a blast.

  2. Not looking to get into the who of the whole deal. I would add that I am sure Scott Scarsdale is watching the Dow, and not this blog
