Isaiah 9: 6-7 (KJV)
"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this."

I want to take this opportunity to wish everyone a very merry Christmas. That's right, I said Christmas, not happy holidays, not season's greetings. This year, let's remember the reason for the season, Jesus Christ.

Jesus has been kicked out of our schools. We can't even have a nativity scene in a public place any more. It has been said that The United States of America is no longer a Christian nation. How sad. Our country - not just our country, but our world - is becoming a darker and more evil place every day.

Christ has been largely removed from Christmas and been replaced with Santa, shopping, presents, partying, commercialism, and so on. Now, there is nothing wrong with any of these things, as long as we keep them in proper perspective. They are fun. None of these things, however, can replace Jesus.

So this Christmas I hope all of you will include Jesus when you celebrate. He is the light that shines in the darkness of our world. We need Him now more than ever.

Wow, two columns in one week. Now how unusual is that? This one will be short and to the point.

Every year WNC allows our readers to nominate wrestlers, announcers, referees, etc. for the end of year awards. Nominations are made by our readers, NOT the WNC staff.  The top 3 or four nominees in each category are then posted at wrestling news center, where our readers can vote on them. The top vote getter in each category is, of course, the winner, Again, the winners are NOT selected by the WNC staff.

Every year there is some hot headed, shit stirring, trouble making IDIOT who posts something negative on the board about the WNC awards. This year is no different. The following was posted on the Southern Territory WrestleBoard by someone who, of course, posted anonymously:

"wnc is a biased and friend based website. There our many great wrestlers, and tag teams, as well as gimmciks. But yet, the asylum is in numerous categories. Horrible in ring work, horrible gimmicks, yet they always win. That's just an example. Promotion of the year? Now crossfire, saw, Tcw ect. But country ass hick town Outlaw shows. All Of the "workers" get together and vote for each other. It's a bunch of hicks nominating themselves, and then voting for themselves. Simple"

LOL, this post was obviously made by an illiterate fool who has no knowledge of grammar, punctuation, or spelling. Be that as it may, this idiot has made several other mistakes.

First of all, WNC is not biased against any organization. We post news and information from any and all organizations who want the coverage. 

Next, like I said before, THE READERS nominate in each category. The readers vote for the winners. With the voting system WNC uses, it is not possible to vote more than once from the same computer. So how does that make WNC biased? Now, I agree, there are many talented tag teams and wrestlers out there. However, only a few were nominated. How does that make WNC biased? There are many good promotions out there, but only a handful were nominated. So how does that make WNC biased?

Bottom line: If you are not happy with the nominees this year, that's too bad! Perhaps you should have gotten up off your rosey red rear and sent in some nominations yourself, instead of whining about who was nominated. Are you pissed because you were not nominated? Well, like I said, the readers (fans) do the nominating, so maybe you should stop whining and trying to piss people off, and go find some fans of your own who care enough about your miserable carcass to nominate you! Oh, and if you do not like the way the voting is done, stop bitching about it and suggest a better way.

Greetings, my fellow wrestleholics! It has been too long, I know, since I last posted an update to this column. Hey, guys, I been busy! But I have some stuff on my mind, so here we go with more ramblings from an old wrestling announcer. I just call it like I see it! So, here we go!

OK, I am getting text messages and emails and calls wanting to know why I am parting ways with EPW. Rumors are already starting that I was fired. Simply NOT true. This has been planned for several months. So, here it is, straight from me to you. I have no heat with anyone from EPW. I have no heat with Edith. I have no heat with the booker. I have announced in Booneville for years, way back since the days of MCWA. I have loved it. However, things change, circumstances change. Fact is, I have announced just about every weekend, sometimes two or three times in one weekend, for a very long time. It is simply time to step back and devote my time to other priorities, especially my grandkids. I have five grandkids and one on the way, and I simply do not want to be booked to announce every weekend any more. I also want to be able to travel around to different shows once in a while and do write-ups for Wrestling News Center. So, does this mean I am not going to announce again? NOPE! If I happen to be at a show and they ask me to announce, I will be happy to for a reasonable fee. Just won't be doing it every weekend. One thing I do intend to do is help Magnificent Ladies Wrestling up in Memphis. I plan on being at most of their tapings and helping Darrell and his crew in any way I can. So, as you can see, I am still in circulation, just slowing down some. So there you have it, nothing more, nothing less.

Speaking of Magnificent Ladies Wrestling, go to http://www.magnificentladieswrestling.com/ and check out the line-up of ladies coming in for the next taping in January. You can order custom matches with these ladies (and/or guys) - order it YOUR way - you can call the shots, you can decide exactly what you want in your match. Order now, because there is a limit to the number of custom matches they can do in one session. There are also hundreds of great ladies matches available for download, so check the site out & order! You'll be glad you did!

OK, let's talk about TFW Wrestling. A few weeks back I read a post somewhere, I think it was on Facebook, that said TFW was for sale. The following weekend I went to the TFW show here in Tupelo, which turned out to be the last TFW show in Tupelo. Lacy announced that TFW was moving to another city and would be re-opening, and would continue to run shows in Selmer every other weekend. They moved out and that was that, until I read the following on Facebook: 
  
"So here's what's up ... TFW Wrestling is officially for sale, I have dedicated the last 2 years to treating all the boy's as good as possible, they say the best PO in the Indy circuit. In turn to be talked shit about by alot of them one kid in paticular Caleb Byars aka Chris Cade I trained him for free i put alot of heart and Soul into this kid to try and make the best he could be I drove from memphis to Tupelo just to train him and for What? For him to turn his back and talk shit about me! Thanks alot kid I am through with wrestling. I will take the first reasonable offer for TFW! What goes with TFW is... 1 16x16 steelwrestling ring show ready, 1 16 ft tandem axle trailer, 16 ft steel cage, approx 100 + chairs, 8 tables, PA system (with 2 speakers with 15 in woofers, 1 cordless mic, 3 hard mic's, compaq laptop computer w/ all TFW music, 4 smoke machines, 6 strobe lights, 1 multicolored light system that goes to beat of music, 2 TFW signs, all concession stand equipment (2 coolers, deep fryer, flat grill, 18 quart cooker, industrial size microwave, 2 cash registers plus more I'm sure I'm forgetting you will also buy all rights to TFW. Tfw has been is buisness for over 15 years! Just ready to move on to something new. I will take any resonable offer it must go so I can get over it!! Serious inquiries only inbox me!!"

Then, a few days later, we read on Facebook:

"Ok rib is up I never had any plans of selling TFW It was just to make the shit stirring people think they had won when the whole time we had leased another building in an undisclosed location. we have been working on the building for a month in half over 12,000 sqf it will have ringside seating and bleachers there will also be a complete gym we will also have 4 tanning beds we also have a mma area...really excited today are mma cage come in does anyone no how to set it up? LMAO..... If you choose to join the wrestling school and mma school together it is $75.00 a month if you wanna join just one it is $50.00 a month this will be a state of the art facility When we are threw with it. TFW will have its first show February 1st doors open at 7 pm bell time 8pm this will be a card like tupelo has never seen there are only 3 original TFW wrestlers that is left on the roster but i promise it will not be the same tupelo bunch that you normally see the first show will have current T.N.A. T.V. Talent .I have all new talent for the weekly shows sorry I had to keep it on the down low but I just had to see who truley was on my side so for all you haters put that in your pipe and smoke it TFW never left tupelo just growing to greater things . I would like to thank all of my sponsers true friends and family .further announcments soon to come watch Facebook and wrestling news center for further information"

OK, let's talk about all this.... Is TFW opening back up or not? Talk about mixed signals here.... If TFW is opening back up, well and good, tell us where! If it is for sale, OK, sell it. Just quit sending mixed signals. You say "TFW never left Tupelo, just growing to greater things." Really? REALLY?! If TFW never left Tupelo, just where in Tupelo is TFW? TFW did leave Tupelo. To say otherwise makes no sense. Oh, and you talk about "the best PO on the indy circuit." Well, next time you contact someone to announce for you, you might want to pay him something. Just saying....  Just my opinion....

Bottom line, I have no heat that I know of with Lacy or TFW. However, I will also probably not have much to do with TFW in the future since they have left this area, except to publish their information and results here on WNC if they choose to send it in. I do wish Lacy and his organization well in their future endeavors, whatever they may be, where ever they may be.

On to other things.... It's time to vote in the different categories for the year end awards here at wrestlingnewscenter.com. Check out the awards section and cast your votes now. There are some interesting nominees there! It will be fun to see who wins.

 

Let's talk about Hollywood Jimmy Blaylock and the Hollywood Clique. Pictured above are apparently the two newest Clique members. I have been told these are the two girls Hollywood took with him on his recent trip to Arkansas. Hollywood did boast recently that the clique was getting bigger and bigger. I guess he wasn't kidding! 

That's all for now. If you have any feedback, positive or negative, you can email it to me at axemanchopchop@yahoo.com - or simply leave a comment on this blog. Thanks for stopping by!
