Timeby Joshua
MaddoxPosted: July 18, 2010 Summer time is a time for the world of entertainment (mostly TV & Movies) to take a break and recharge their batteries for the fall season. This down time within "the biz" gives us industry folk time to evaluate and discover NEW talent, and there is no better place to find that talent, then the Independent Wrestling Federation. I recently took time out of my busy schedule to evaluate the IWF roster. As I looked at the names such as Hi-Definition Chris Steeler or Gods Gift Aaron Stride I realized a few things, 1. I can’t sell arrogance, people don't want to see a narcissistic cry baby, if they did they would become high school teachers. 2. Someone needs to tell "Hi-Def" Chris Steeler that its now a world of 3D & Blu-Ray and “Hi- Def” has become obsolete. Walking into a casting call with one of these goofs would get me shunned from the entertainment world quicker then Mike Winner is to lather on the sun tan lotion on that cue ball he calls a head. So who is Hollywood's next Big Star? It could be one of the hard working individuals on the IWF roster, like Chachi, Travis Blake & Juicy Justin Corino among others. And with the upcoming match-ups of Chachi versus the previously mentioned soon to be obsolete Hi- Definition Chris Steeler for the Heavyweight Championship and the one on one bout between Travis Blake & Juicy Justin Corino. Summer Sizzler Weekend is one that will let the IWF stars shine and show that they can be taken seriously as contenders, not only in the IWF but the entire world of this business we call show!  Giving the IWF Some More Sizzle Chattin' with Chachi by Chachi Posted: July 12, 2010 Summer Sizzler Weekend Day 1 Mi Gente que pasa!!?? (what’s up, my people) When Commissioner Casino told me that he would take care of me he went above and beyond for his amigo (friend). I am the newest number one contender for the IWF Heavyweight Championship. They say people who are lovers are not fighters, pero escuchame bien (but listen up) Hi- Definition Chris Steeler do not take the Latin Lover lightly because if you have not been paying attention I am a fighter! Steeler, watch where you step because you may find yourself lying in a bed of roses with the thorns still attached and without the IWF Heavyweight Championship! Órale! Going the Distance. . . Summer Sizzler Weekend Day 2 The sun is getting hotter and the señoritas will need to put on their sun block. But Chachi will be their to assist them put the lotion in areas that they can’t reach, weepa! The Latin Lover loves the summer because it’s the best time of the year where he can kick back on the beach with a cerveza on one hand and señoritas on the other. To add to that, after Chachi leaves Summer Sizzler Day 2 he will walk out that night having two of IWF’s most prestigious titles the IWF Heavyweight and American Titles which make this summer extra caliente! God’s Gift Aaron Stride I have unfinished business with you and your comb over. You seem to be cheating all the IWF fans from having an American Champion that they can be proud of. Your always looking at your reflection in the mirror and don't pay mind to any of the IWF fans. They come to the IWF to see an American Champion not a sneaky one who is more concerned about how his hair is placed. Stride, I will make sure to have my eye on you because there is no way I am leaving that ring without my American Championship and my new IWF Heavyweight Championship title. IWF fans, I have a special treat for you, I will be featured in the Open Challenge Match for IWF Heavyweight Title NOT Hi-Definition Chris Steeler. Fans, you will see after a long hot weekend that the Latin Lover will make history in the IWF as its very first IWF Heavyweight-American Champion. Órale!  Summertime Blues The Winner’s Circle by Mike Winner Posted: July 10, 2010 I am a busy, busy man. When I am not gracing you people at the IWF, you can usually find me out and about town at either the latest hot spot or art gallery opening. However, I always have time for my friends. Recently, Aaron Stride and I caught Damian Adams’ latest show, and lemme just say it was awesome. But Damian’s performance wasn't the only magic, I witnessed that evening as Stride made all the guys’ girlfriends’ phone numbers appear on our table. And afterwards, the invited me to tag along on yet another one of their month long Commissioner’s Cup celebrations. Of course such a perfect night had to be spoiled, because when we reached our planned party destination we were met with uninvited guests. Those party crashers Dangerous Danny E. and Kevin Knight were already there! They seemed to be surrounded by a bevy of women and a couple NY Yankees as Danny was trying to teach Knight to fist-pump. Luckily, I got a text from Dr. Hurtz telling me
that he had a scoop and that I should meet Lethal Injection at their favorite watering hole. Stride and Adams said that
was a good idea that we meet up with them just so they wouldn't embarrass Knight and Danny in front of their friends (besides
they want to get in their shots in front of the IWF fans). I had never seen a tougher part of the city as I arrived to meet with Lethal Injection. I inquired with the bartender where I might find the two roughnecks. I was informed that they had taken a couple other patrons out to the back, but before I could find them they burst back in and proclaimed “that’s nothing compared to how Corino and Blake are gonna look after we're done with them”. The very next thing I heard was a woman crying to the barkeep to call 911 and get an ambulance. But who knows, maybe Center Stage will dissolve before they reach that fate. After that night, I knew Summer Sizzler will be hot. Heated rivalries will only burn greater and new feuds may be ignited. All this from I learned from a couple hours with just a handful of the participants. I haven't even gotten into the phone call I got from your new heavyweight champion, Chris Steeler where he told me what he was going to do to Chachi and subsequently said some pretty un-publishable things about “the Latin Lover’s “mother. But I'll save that for another time...  Lethal Injection will
not take CenterStage Reaching for the Stars by Stellar Travis Blake Posted: July 9, 2010 Commissioner Casino announced the line-up for Summer Sizzler Weekend, and I've already been asked a thousand times: "Why am I fighting Justin?" "Has the tension
built up so much that it really had to come to this?" "Is this the end of Center-Stage?" Well, truth be told, I asked for this match. I believe Juicy and I make a great tag team because we were always equals. All of that changed at the December Tournament of Champions when Justin and I were forced to fight and he came out the victor. Now, I can admit that we haven't clicked as a team as of late and I believe that in order balance as a team, I have to even the score and beat Corino one-on-one. In order to prove that there are no strong ill feelings towards each other, Justin
and myself are teaming up the next night against the largest tag team in the IWF ever. Though Franciz and Doctor
Hurtz are the largest team in terms of mass, they are the smallest men I've ever met, in fact I can't even call them 'men'
at all for the sole reason that a real 'man' doesn't threaten a woman ever. Normally, I'm the calm one in sport where tempers flare on a regular basis but Hurtz and the Mastodon have made this
way too personal by stalking and threatening MY valet! I promised Alissa that after Summer Sizzler, there will be no
more "Lethal Injection" to worry about, and "Center-Stage" will once again shine as the IWF's best tag
team.  WWE's Darren Young Makes
an Impact A
Knight's Tale by Kevin Knight Posted: July
8, 2010 The date was September 8, 2002, and I remember it like it was yesterday.
That was the day that current WWE Superstar Darren Young, fresh out of high school, entered the Independent Wrestling Federation Training School in West Paterson, NJ, to begin his in-ring training. As a former standout football star and amateur wrestling
champion at Union High School, he had a presence about him like no other. His first match took place in December 2002 and
BoneCrusher Fred Sampson (as he was known in the IWF) made an immediate impact. He is the youngest man to ever hold
the IWF Heavyweight Championship, having defeated me in May 2003. He would hold that title on two occasions, as well as become an IWF Tournament
of Champions winner in 2004, and a three-time IWF Commissioner's Cup Tag Team Tournament winner with three different partners
in 2003, 2004 and 2006. Young was signed by WWE in May 2009 and began training at Florida Championship
Wrestling in Tampa, FL, under the supervision of WWE Developmental Coach Dr. Tom Prichard. It took him six and a half long years to finally get his big break. After making his mark on season
one of the NXT program, Young is now making a big name for himself on Raw and SmackDown. And he truly deserves it. During his time at IWF, he was the first one to show up for training and live events, and the last one to leave.
He had an insatiable thirst for knowledge and stopped at nothing to achieve his goals. He is a shining example that
if you want something bad enough, work hard enough, and spill your blood, sweat and tears, you will succeed. Another former IWF Heavyweight Champion and IWF Wrestling School graduate, Fady the Arabian Bull, follows in Young's footsteps after signing with WWE in June. Hats off to future WWE Champions Darren Young
and Fady the Bull, who will always be remembered fondly in the IWF for their positive contributions!  Looking to Right a Wrong Reaching for the Stars by Stellar Star Travis Blake Posted: June
4, 2010 The Commissioner's Cup Tag Team Tournament is upon us. When you look up tag team wrestling history in the IWF, only one name is jumps out...Travis Blake! I've won the Commissioner's Cup three times with
three different partners, in addition to being the only IWF star with six different tag team title reigns. Justin Corino and I won the Cup last year, only to be handcuffed to the ring ropes as we watched the trophy get smashed. Well, this year will be different, as Justin and myself hope to win the trophy yet again with the intention of keeping it. This way we get to right the wrong and put the trophy on my mantle with all my other accolades. Plus, this year I've added the managerial services of Alissa to be the "eyes in the back of my head" so
to speak to prevent any repeat occurrences. Now, I know everyone thinks there's friction between Justin and myself after Mayhem Weekend. However, I assure you that is not the case! We've both developed as a team and even as friends. Sometimes friends have their hardships, but Justin and I have the same goal with the same drive and determination to reach that said goal; winning the gold!  WHERE IS OUR COMMISSIONER?! The Winner’s Circle by Mike Winner Posted: June 3, 2010 With Commissioner’s Cup right around the corner, I only have one question. WHERE IS OUR COMMISSIONER?! Ever since Rich Ross has been (unrightfully!) disposed as our commissioner, the IWF has been sailing along on the whim of the championship committee. Who will award the cup? Are there any candidates? Can Rich Ross once again rise to power and steer the IWF back on course? What if they pick someone else? Chachi? Yeah I can see it now everyone donned in roses and pressing two on their keypads to translate. Mr. Casino? I don't like his odds. Franciz? (no comment don't hurt me Franciz). Aaron Stride? I don't think the committee wants to wall the IWF center with mirrors. Me? Hey championship committee I've done it before….hint hint wink wink. Evan Schwartz? He may “nose” all things but being commissioner, I don't think so. Fady? See Franciz and multiply by ten. But no matter the scenario, I can only see one solution. Rich Ross. Maybe it’s a bit biased because he did bring me back in to the IWF, but I think he is the best man for the job. Look at his track record. Not one man has had as much integrity and honesty as our deposed leader. So let us look ahead to June 25 and 26 because I can guarantee this will be a weekend of action and history. Oh one last thought, hypothetical tag team for the tournament Fady and Mr. Casino. High Steaks. Get it? High stakes for gambling, steaks like bull/cow. Oh whatever. Until next time………. Turning
“Trying” into “Doing”Air Timeby
Joshua MaddoxPosted: June 3, 2010 With the news that Fady the Arabian Bull will be heading to Florida Championship Wrestling in July, the IWF Wrestling School once again proves to be a stepping-stone to not only FCW but also the WWE, as IWF Wrestling School graduate and former IWF Heavyweight Champion Darren Young (BoneCrusher Fred Sampson) recently competed on WWE’s NXT program. But there is one thing that the IWF Wrestling School can’t teach, and that’s dedication. I’ve been around the IWF for some time now and I have seen plenty of students come and plenty of students go. But the one thing that you could see right from the get go in Young & The Arabian Bull is the dedication to get better and to improve every aspect of their wrestling game. From their physical appearance, to their in ring ability, to their mic work and beyond. It always baffles me, not only the world of professional wrestling but in life itself, how some people think that things will happen for them if they just “try”. Life doesn’t work like that. I learned that the hard way and was just waiting for things to happen when it came to my acting career, but once I got fed up that nothing was happening, I stopped “trying” and started “doing”. Within a 2 month period I booked work on a prime time TV show and a Day Time Soap Opera. Once I started putting the work in, the results came back 10 fold. Now sure you could come “try” at the IWF Wrestling School but if you want to DO and SUCCEED then you need to dedicate yourself and put the work in outside of the ring. Stop “trying”, because “trying” is a word for people who fail. If you put the work in and dedicate yourself like Young & The Arabian Bull did, you too, can turn “Trying” into “Doing”.
Full of Bull Posted: June 1, 2010 America thrives on the theory
of capitalism, get rich or die trying. It is a nation ruled by an every man for themselves mentality. America
is young, beautiful and on the rise. What better exemplification of these traits then the IWF’s new American Champion
“God’s Gift” Aaron Stride. You are welcome IWF fans for once again its safe to say you are proud to
be an American. But with jubilee
comes the reality that time moves on. While celebrating my glorious (and expected) championship victory over Chachi
at Mayhem Weekend, I couldn’t help but look ahead in my calendar. The 2010 Commissioner’s Cup Tournament is upon us and with this comes many burdens. The burden of apologizing to all
my fans that pay to see me month after month. Not only do they not get to see me defend my newly captured American
championship, but I am forced to share my time in front of them with a “partner.” This will be a partner
that will no doubt be a hindrance upon my success. Who in the IWF is a suitable partner to match up with God’s
Gift? People have a hard enough time standing in the same room as God’s Gift, none the less being surrounded by
his presence. There is no reason to be alarmed by others shortcomings. Aaron Stride will capture the 2010 Commissioner’s
Cup regardless of the lesser talent he is paired up with. Being the 2005 Commissioner’s Cup champion, history
has shown he can climb to the top of the mountain (no matter how heavy the burden is to carry). You are welcome for the enjoyment you have received from this reading. You can personally thank me at the IWF
Centre on June 25 and June 26.  Overcoming Obstacles to Succeed A Woman's Point of View by Jana Posted: June 1, 2010 Summer is one of the busiest times of the year for me. With the upcoming Commissioner’s Cup and all the summer events, it is a nonstop ride and one of the things I enjoy most about this time of year.
Now, I have never been happy just settling in where I am so this summer, you will be seeing some new things coming down the pipeline. While I can't go into the detail in this blog, I can say this: sometime you have to step outside your comfort zone and dive in to a new opportunity headfirst to get where you want to be. One of my favorite
quotes is by George Washington Carver. He says, “Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one
has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed.” Over
the last six years, I have overcome some large obstacles and while I know that I will have to overcome more, in the
end it will only make me more successful. I think that by the end of this summer, you will find new and hopefully
improved Jana walking to the ring.  Hunger for PainMastodon Memoirby FrancizPosted: May 31, 2010 Empty is one word that best describes the Mastodon. Ever since I left the Ross Family, there has been a void missing…and no its not friendship or camaraderie. It’s deeper then that. MORE LIKE A HUNGER! A hunger for pain, for suffering, and above all else, a hunger for gold. From this day forward, don't mistake this as an actual blog. Read this as a warning to the IWF roster to whoever tries to question my hunger. I have an appetite for destruction. Whether going for gold or inflicting misery, I hunger for one thing PAIN. I follow my own method of madness, ready and waiting to satisfy this hunger with anyone that crosses paths with the Mastodon!
When it
Reign's, it Pours Posted: May 30, 2010 It is very magnanimous to share my thoughts with the uneducated masses once again. My mind has been aquiver with many thoughts, ideas, and theories over the past few weeks. Mostly, on evolution and the natural course of it. Welcome the June Web-Lecture. Evolution is the natural course by which a species develops over time. Herr Stagg and I have been evolving much over the last year. But rather than becoming a higher state of human being, we have evolved into something grander. Many of you questioned whether our dictatorship was truly omnipotent and powerful. Well, Masters Blake and Corino were the first to learn just how absolute our power was, and is. When we liberated the Tag Team Championship from those two vermin, honor and dignity was restored to them. Stagg and I are the most formidable force to ever hold the titles. We are the personification of raw power and pinpoint precision. Mr. Casino, The Arabian Bull, young Mark Corino, and even legends such as Jim Powers and Tito Santana failed to dethrone us. Even the virtuous Kevin Knight has failed in his quest to topple the monopoly we have established. Why have they failed, the answer is simple. Stagg and I operate as a single cohesive unit. We need only look at each other, and know what the other is contemplating. We have evolved. We are the pinnacle of tag team wrestling, our power is absolute. In fact, our grip on the tag team title division is so iron clad; we are on the verge of achieving immortality. According to my research, the longest tag team championship reign was eight months. Ironically, that record was established by myself and my former ally, Justin Corino. Stagg and I have held the championship since November. And by the time the Commissioner’s Cup Tag Team Tournament has arrived, Stagg and I will have tied that record. Another fascinating thought, is that the Tag Team Champions are heavily favored to win this tournament. If you doubt that logic, you need only inquire to Mr. Casino, and he will confirm what I have said. When Stagg and I stand victorious at the end of the tournament, we will solidify our place in the annals of time. Our reign will never cease, our dominance is everlasting. And immortality is within an arms length. Prepare two more champagne flutes Master Steeler. Stagg and I will be joining you in an elite group. Those who have the Longest Championship Reign.  Finding Happiness in MayhemA Diva's Diary by Alissa Posted: May 29. 2010 I have loved every minute of my short time here at the IWF! It has been a blast being out there, getting to do what I love, hearing the crowd behind me. Thanks guys! <3 And who wouldn’t be happy getting to manage the amazing and always stellar, Travis Blake? :) But last month
will always stand out and have a special place in my heart. That’s because at Mayhem Weekend, I got my first-ever singles win! (Learning from the best really paid off, thanks Travis!!! :D) Sorry
it had to be against you, Jana. As much as I respect you, I have to put my all into every match I’m in and I know
you wouldn’t want it any other way. Although it was great, Mayhem Weekend wasn’t completely
perfect. Once again, Evan Schwartz decided he needed to get involved in my match with Jana. I don’t know
why he keeps doing it, but I hope that next time we face off, he keeps his nose out of it. And I don’t know what
was going on with Blake and Justin after their tag match. Really guys, even the best tag team in the IWF is allowed
one bad day. I hated walking away from Justin like that, but a girl’s gotta stand by her man! Whatever’s
going on with them I just hope they can work it out before the Commissioner’s Cup. Well, now that I’ve gotten started, I don’t want to stop! Hahahaha :)
I know I still have a lot of learning to do, but don’t underestimate me, because if heart and passion count for anything,
I think that this is just the beginning for me in the IWF.  Gold Rush The Casino Chronicles by Mr. Casino Posted: May 28, 2010 Growing up, all I ever wanted to do was to make money. I was an earner, a worker who always knew how to keep
the captains and bosses satisfied. I enjoyed the lifestyle. Get greeted with a smile and do what your told to
do and you will be greatly rewarded. Atlantic City has now become a business and that's how it should be. I started off as the slots manager at our casino, I remember how the cash flowed and the accounts grew knowing this was the life for me. After that, I made so much money rather it was playing the odds at the race tracks, or playing the lines on the football games. But know matter what, I always knew how to pick the winners. And now, I have it all as the Casino Manager of the Casa Da Gioco. And to this day, I continue doing what I love doing best and that's making money. The Rolex says the first and the calendar says it's June which means one thing, the Commissioner’s Cup Tournament is once again upon us. Now, you may know my fascination with gold. From bracelets to rings, and watches to necklaces, gold has always been my rush in life. Last month, I was one day away from taking home the IWF American Championship. God's Gift Aaron Stride, we will meet again and when we do, this time when I cash out with another victory over you, I'm taking the championship with me. But for now, I have my eyes on that Commissioner’s Cup with full intentions of adding it to my collection of gold.  A Hot Summer Chattin' with Chachi by Chachi Posted:
May 28, 2010 The roses will be blooming and the temperatures will continue rising. Señoritas will be wearing a lot less and I'll be there to help them out if they need to have sun block put on in places they can't reach, ORALE! I've been on a hot streak since winning the Tournament of Champions as I captured my American Title. My fire got put out by a pretty boy who is more into himself than anyone else I have seen or faced. Stride, where I come from a man who is that into himself and looks at his reflection... all I can say is that it raises a lot of questions. I saw where things went downhill, the only reason you have my American Title is because you had to use the ropes to hurt The Latin Lover, south of the border. I've been training
day and night because I can't have the IWF fans be disappointed in their IWF American Champion. Stride you better hope
God answers yours prayers because the next time we meet the IWF fans will have their American Champion back. Bring your sun
block because Im going to bring that fire that will not be put out anytime soon and trust me these hips Don't Lie! "El Torneo de la Copa Comisionado" (Commissioner's Cup Tag Team Tournament) Mi Gente que pasa? (What's up, my people) With the Commissioner's Cup Tournament on its way I could not be more excited to compete. The Championship Committee still has not told me who my partner is but whoever it is I'm sure we'll take it straight to the top. Me and my partner will be sipping on some piña colada and ice cold cervezas on the beach as we show the señoritas what happens when it gets dark. I'll make sure when we get the trophy we'll have a fiesta so big that the IWF fans will be partying for days. I hope my partner can keep up with me because if there's a fiesta involved The Latin Lover is there!  All Things to All People Evan's Two Cents by All Things Evan Schwartz Posted: May 27, 2010 Mayhem Weekend always brings back memories because it's the event where I bravely, and heroically, fought for four different
titles in one night, something no one else in the IWF has ever done. This year I did something else that no one has
ever done, I had the privilege of taking on three IWF rookies in the same weekend....Hush Holiday, Uncle Pat, and
Varsity Marc Corino. I proved to be too much for Hush, so much that he probably went back to the
Bronx and cried his eyes out. And in case he hasn't heard, that's actually the third time I've beaten him.
Uncle Pat should have stayed in Wheeling, West Virginia with the rest of his inbred friends and family (even though he
fit in very well with the IWF fans), because I was too much for him too. I'll give him credit though as he
did surprise me, but no one can expect anyone whose parents are probably brother and sister to beat me. However, Marc Corino lucked out. He beat me, and the only way any rookie could possibly beat me is if he took
advantage of the fact that I had already wrestled earlier in the night. Not only that, but the matches were back-to-back.
I was tired, and requested a break that was denied by a crooked referee named Jana. Marc Corino better understand
that I was the 2007 Rookie of the Year (as voted on by myself and my EVANgelists), and no rookie since me, has
ever been as good as I've been, or had the success that I have had. So, the match doesn't count. The next time
Corino has the guts to step into the ring with me, I promise the outcome will be different. Now, as we
get closer and closer to Commissioner's Cup Weekend, I can't help but realize that 2010 marks my third Commissioner's Cup tag tournament. In previous years, I
haven't had much luck in this tournament, but I'm also not at fault. Clearly, inept tag partners, unfair referees,
and cheating opponents caused me to take first round losses both times. Minus those people, it's obvious
I'd already be a two-time Commissioner's Cup champion. I realize I don't need anyone with me in order to win.
I can do anything and everything without any help. I hope I don't even have a tag team partner and
enter the tournament myself. But regardless of whomever I team with (whether it's new IWF Champion Fady the Bull
or maybe even that redneck, inbred hillbilly Uncle Pat), I will win the Trophy. And just as
sure as the Philadelphia Phillies and the Tampa Bay Rays will meet in this year's World Series, whomever I team
with will be handing me my trophy. :-D.  Tale of Glory The Locker Room by Varsity Marc Corino Posted: May 26, 2010 Last month at
Mayhem Weekend, I proved myself to the entire IWF roster and the great fans that I too
have felt the glory of getting my hand raised. I'm no stranger to winning, but for All Things Evan Schwartz, in the long run I
was the one to leave the match with my head held high. Somebody had to shut you up and that's just one of the many things
I have accomplished. With this in mind, the 8th annual Commissioners Cup Tag Team Tournament Weekend is coming up. With this being my first Commissioners Cup opportunity,
I better prepare myself for a fight that will not be lost.  The Trip to West, By God, Paterson Get Er Dun By Uncle Pat Posted: May 26, 2010 All ya'll have been asking me how I made it up here on a small tracta. Now, I have to be honest with ya'll, it wasn't an easy journey. I had to deal with all the rain from them there storms comin up the coast, the truck drivas beeping at me to go fasta, and the cops be pullin me ova for some crazy stuff like "unregistered tractor thingamajig" or somethin like that, and kept givin me these white pieces of paper, supposedly called "tickets." My pa is gonna be so mad at me if he eva finds out 'bout them. I finally get up to the garden state, home of the I- Double U -eff, and find out upon my arriva. That there's this here boy who claims he know all thangs. His name is Egan Swors, or somethin like that. He claim to know everythang there is to know. I betcha he don't know the first rule when it comes to hogtyin' though. At Mayhem Weekend, I gave that boy a small sample off what the country life is all'bout. Though he pulled a fast one on me and had his hand 'aised in victory, his life will neva be the same. Now that I have come all the way up 'ere, there's only one thang that I care 'bout, and that's bein' the best wrassler' I can be. It will only be a 'atter of time before I'm on top of the world Get Er Dun! -Uncle Pat  A Time for
Celebrations Web-Lecture by Bruising Bookworm Frank Scoleri Posted: April 1, 2010 It is only proper, for one to apologize for tardiness.
However, that is beneath oneself when surrounded by the retched vermin of the world. 'Tis been quite sometime since
my hallowed words have graced the uneducated. Fear not, the educated one has returned to enlighten you once again. This should be a joyous occasion, a celebration that should rival the Easter celebrations around the world. April the 24th is upon us, the glorious anniversary of my 25th year. It is difficult to fathom that such a young individual can possess such an immense wealth of knowledge. Though I should be celebrating, I find myself in a disgruntled mood. My birthday will be spent doing battle with low class vagrant. Bushwhacker Luke, Kevin Knight, Mad Dog Jenkins on the 23rd, and Fady The Bull on the 24th, I can feel the bile in my gullet rising. Nevertheless, all shall fall victim to the Imperial Dictatorship. Perhaps most disturbing of all is addition of another to the melting pot. Thomas Prichard, a man whom fancies himself a Doctor. If any man is worthy of the title of Doctor, it is no one but myself. I possess the aptitudes, I possess the credentials, and I am the superior intellect. And nothing would make me prouder, than to challenge and claim the Doctorate from Thomas Prichard. However, I know for a fact, that title came not from an accredited institution. It is merely a moniker, designed to make you seem more appealing. Therefore, the title is literally worthless to me. To take it from you would be beneath me. I shall say not another word, for it is time to prepare for war. To arms…  Latin Lover Advice Chattin' with Chachi by Chachi Posted: March 24, 2010 Oye Mi gente que pasa??? (what's up, my people) People have asked me for love advice and now movies. I love going to the movies but I really prefer watching movies from my house its more intimate, ladies I know you know what I'm talking about. Having the lights off in mi casa (my house) and the windows open, and yes it may be March but it is always hot when the Latin Lover is around. Now people always ask me what type of movie I like to watch with the senioritas (ladies). The "NOTEBOOK" really gets ladies in the mood. GUYS trust me if you want to have your own after party the "NOTEBOOK" is the way to go and trust me you will be left with a happy ending ;-) Last Month, Senior Knight won his IWF Championship so I decided to throw him una fiesta (a party) and let me tell you after a couple of cervezas even he was able to shake his hips like me and was able to get the finest chicas (ladies). But there is always someone trying to ruin my fiesta.!! This goes out to El Gordo! (The Fat One) Franciz, who crashed the fiesta. I seen you staring at my hips the other night, and let me tell you, ChaChi does not go that way.!! So I suggest you better keep your distance, because you might find yourself running through a bed of roses, and we all know, that every rose, has its thorns! ~~@~~@ ORALE! <3<3<3 love, Chachi <3<3<3  Dealing with Short Change The Casino Chronicles by Mr. Casino Posted: March 5, 2010 It's great to be back updating you
on the Casino Chronicles. A lot has been going, and over the last couple of months, things have been going great. The house has been on a roll, and the ponies have been treating me really good $. And last month, business
really picked up as WWE Legend Tito Santana, Fady the Arabian Bull, and myself laid down our winning hand and cashed out on
The Imperial Dictatorship and God's Gift Aaron Stride. But there is still a lot of business to take care
of. Some people just can't seem to keep their noses out of other peoples' business. Which brings me to this months
blog... "Dealing with Short Change." All Things Evan Schwartz, I think we need to clear one thing up right now. Out of all your lies and outrages comments, the first paragraph of your blog has to take the cake. If I recall, last month when you and Jennifer stayed at "Casa da Gioco," you busted with a 25, losing your all-in bet of $5.00. That table was actually a $50.00 minimum, but we let it slide realizing that was all the money you had to your name. We even comped you with a free room. When you left the next morning, all the soap, towels, bathrobes, and even the shower curtain was taken from the room. So, if you are making money, your welcome. And in regard to your comments about Rich Ross. I gave Rich more than enough opportunities to pay off his debt.
I gave him loans, jobs, anything you can think of to get him out of the red. So while Rich is finding ways to come up
with my money, you should think of a way of some how backing up your statement at Reckless Abandon. I know Travis Blake wants to get his hands on you just as much as I do. And when everything is all said and
done, the only thing you'll be left with is a bar of the "Casa De Gioco's" soap.
Short Change for Everyone at March Madness
Weekend Evan's Two Cents by
All Things Evan Schwartz & Jennifer Posted: March 1, 2010 It's been a while since we both wrote blogs, so we figured why not do one together? As the IWF's power couple, we feel it's necessary that our voices be heard. It's a brand new year and brand new accomplishments are in store for All Things Evan Schwartz and Jennifer (winning even more matches than we already do, making even more money than we already have, and acquiring even more world championships to add our collections), but there are some issues we must acknowledge immediately. We've about had it with Travis Blake and Alissa. In our lives, we have never met or seen sore losers like the two of them. I mean, the IWF fans qualify as sore losers of course, but maybe not even as much as Blake and Alissa do. It's not our faults that they can't take losing. We don't really know what it's like to lose, but we beat them, and we should never have to face them again. It's a waste of our time. We have more important things to do, like doing anything and everything in life that we feel like because we know, and can do, all things. But
since those two can't fight alone and have called on Juicy Justin and WWE Legend Bushwhacker Luke to fight their battles for
them, we have news for them, we beat Justin Corino in 2007! He's old news. And Bushwhacker Luke? Well he's old
news too, L-O-L!. And the two of us, along with our BFF's Hi-Definition Chris Steeler and the Mastodon Franciz,
will have no problem Bushwhacking all four of them, and hopefully Blake and Alissa will be out of our lives forever.
Now, if anyone didn't see this month's Eruption Webcast, the way Mr. Casino treated the amazingly talented Rich Ross, during the Casa da Gioco was completely unacceptable. If it wasn't for Mr. Ross, Casino wouldn't even have a job in the IWF to begin with. Furthermore, for Casino to not return the favor and hire Mr. Ross back into the IWF, shows how much of a jerk he is just because he is. Just because he's jealous, that he lacks the talent of a Rich Ross, doesn't mean he has to be such a poor sport. We have never been fans of poor sportsmanship. Luckily, we know all things, and at March Madness Weekend we know that Short Change will seek revenge for Mr. Ross, and it will be a 23 and Jackblack or us, and nothing but a fold for Mr. Casino. With a new outlook and Short Change clearly in control of its own destiny at March Madness Weekend, we're not going to pull a Team USA Hockey move and blow it like they did in the Olympics to Canada this year. No no, we're going to do just like the Soviets did when they beat the United States in the Miracle on Ice, and etch our names as one of the greatest teams of all time! Heart of a Lion The Locker Room by Varsity Marc Corino Posted: February 2, 2010 Being a varsity competitor,
in high school wrestling and in professional wrestling, isn't easy for such a youngster like me. Many athletes
look upon my size and have false judgments. What they don't know is... its not the size of the lion in the fight, its
the size of the fight in lion. In the ring, with the IWF fans behind me, my size
never matters as the adrenaline in the air makes me stronger than any other opponent that I see before my eyes. Varsity isn't just phrase, its a lifestyle that I have earned and its one I'm going to continue living.  Yield to the Imperial Dictatorship Web-Lecture by Bruising Bookworm Frank Scoleri Posted: January 9, 2010 Forgive me, vacant minds of
the world. There will be no Web-lecture this month. Instead, I shall directly address Kevin Knight and Jim Powers.  The
Perfect Gift The Casino Chronicles by
Mr. Casino Posted: December 11, 2009 Christmas is
upon us, and this is going to truly be, a very Merry Christmas. Traditionally, houses are decorated with lights
and decor but for me, the only lights I need are the ones flashing over my gaming tables and slot machines. However, this year, I'm in a little more of a decorating mood. The other day, I sent Pauly and Anthony to go
cut down the biggest, most beautiful tree they could find and when they returned, the smell of the freshly cut pine filled
my lungs with joy and thankfulness. It made me want to share my fortune with the rest of the world. I know how
much of a hassle it could be Christmas shopping for friends and family, and that is why I came up with the perfect gift. My friends, I have created the perfect stocking stuffer. Now at IWF Centre, you can purchase the Mr. Casino
playing cards. Inside, contains 14 different pictures of myself doing what I do best. So, while you're drinking
your eggnog and spending quality time with each other, I bring the greatest holiday game to you and your entire
family. Now, there is one more thing to complete my holiday. Tournaments have
always been one of my favorite hobbies, and that is why I entered this year's Tournament of Champions. And while everyone empties there stockings and opens their presents, I will be holding up the only gift I need this
year, and that is the golden trophy. I hope you enjoy the gifts you receive this year and I wish you all a very Merry
Christmas.  Dawg and Hush The Dawg Pound by Mad Dawg Jenkins Posted: December 8, 2009 So everybody
wants to know why Mad Dawg Jenkins rolls with Hush Holiday. To the best of my recollection, a few years back,
the Dawg and Hush were shootin dice with the boyz near the Bone Yard on the East Side of Jenkytown. The kid Hush
was on fire. He kept hitting seven, seven-eleven, seven-eleven, seven-eleven, seven till them boyz couldn't play no
more. Dawgie Dawg and Hush tripled our bank rolls and we partied all nite long with a fine pack of female
dawgs. We all howled at the moon until the sun dun shine. And then howled a little more. Word on the
street is that Hush don't say much. Now, I may get hit in the head a lot, but you can't fool me. Hush is
always rappin, rhymin, free stylin and profile-lin. He also has quite the sense of humor. Occasionally, he even does impressions. My favorite is the Obiwan Kenobi with a little Yoda mixed in "Mad
Dawgie, use the Jenk FORCE One." Luv that one... Now that I think about it, I hear Hush Obiwan and Yoda even
when Hush isn't around... well life is too short to try to go and figure it all out... Rock On, Bow Wow Wow Yippie
Yo Yippie Yay.  The
Gift of Enlightenment Web-Lecture by Bruising Bookworm Frank Scoleri
Posted: December 6, 2009 “'Tis the season to be jolly.” Once again the time has come for the most “joyous” time of the year. In just a few short weeks, Christmas will be upon us. This time of year is supposed to bring on brotherhood, peace, and good will. Even one as superior as I cannot help but feel…utterly disgusted. I bid you all welcome to the December Web-Lecture. In the spirit of the holiday season, I give you all a gift. The gift of enlightenment, Lord knows you all could benefit from it. December the 25th, the holiest day of the year, the night of our dear savior’s birth. Each year, I receive nothing but a hole in my heart when I see what madness befalls the world. The botanical genocide of cutting down magnificent trees, the mass hysteria caused by rampant commercialism, and the trivial wishes of peace on earth, is makes the bile creep up my gullet. What right do we have to destroy entire groves of magnificent trees, and for what? To be trimmed with soulless symbols of what this holiday has become; shallow, vile, and corrupt. Trees are the lungs of the world and we destroy countless acres to heighten the festivities of the times. Même maintenant je deviens malade. Lest we forget the hysteria brought on by the commercialistic selfishness. Just last year many people were injured, a few unlucky souls were killed, trampled to death in the shopping rush known as “Black Friday.” Where is your peace and good tidings, when people a killed to purchase a paltry piece of plastic and some crude electronics, imported from China. You would benefit from a good book. I suggest Voltaire, but do not assume I wish provide you with my copy of his manuscript. Combined with this hysteria is the hypocrisy of this holiday, is shallow trivialities of the tidings spread during this season. This incongruous hollow charade, force jollity on every living being, and the notion of good will within all hearts, indeed. Truthfully, if we believed such trivialities, they would be practiced on a daily basis, not relegated to one day out of the entire year. As much as I would love to expose more points of interest with this discussion. I feel my time would be better used perusing my library, since I mentioned Voltaire earlier, I think I shall indulge in the works he wrote during the Enlightenment. Additionally, I feel it would be best to end this lecture by deviating from my usual conclusion of, J'ai offert vous tous, Bonne nuit. Instead I shall leave with the words of a very wise man, whose gave a brilliant account of what Christmas is, “Bah, humbug.” I'll be Thankful for Carving up The Ross Family Reaching for the Stars by Stellar Travis Blake Posted: November 16, 2009 Thanksgiving is almost here and I have so much to be thankful for. But I can't focus on it right now with Thanksgiving Thunder just around the corner. We finally have the opportunity to remove Rich Ross from the Commissioner's Office once and
for all. I spent the majority of my career trying to make the commish happy and what did I get for my hard work?
FIRED! So now, Rich is going to find out how it feels to be removed from office. Ross made sure I haven't had any singles title shots since my departure from The Ross Family over a year ago and as luck would have it, I have a shot this weekend at both of the IWF's prestigious singles titles. Steeler...unlike you, I've been an achiever even without Ross Family backing. And Franciz...we used to be Tag Team Champions, but that was many moons ago. However, if anyone knows how to dismantle the mastodon, it's me! Thanksgiving Thunder is going to be WAR! I'm confident in my own abilities as well as the individual abilities of my allies; Juicy Justin, Kevin Knight and Mad Dawg. I believe the four of us are the IWF's best and have all the necessary tools to take down the Ross Family. In fact, I think by Thanksgiving Day, I'm going to be thankful for my new well polished IWF belts, as well as, a Ross-free IWF.
The Things I'm Thankful For The Casino Chronicles by Mr. Casino Posted: November 12, 2009 The time of giving thanks is before us, and we all know Thanksgiving is the time to share what we are all thankful for. There are many things I am thankful for, like the way the slot machines chime when I sit before them, or the way the dealer looks at me when I tip him big as he hands me my winnings. I am also thankful that the Indianapolis Colts are back to their old ways of not covering the spread with a tight
finish victory defeating there division rivals the Houston Texans. However, I'm sure there are others who are also thankful,
like how both the Detroit Lions and the Oakland Raiders get television time on Thanksgiving Day. Or, how my tag team partner
Fady The Arabian Bull can easily bench press 400 pounds of turkey. But most of all, we are all thankful that we only
have to read one of Frank Scoleri's Web Lecture a month. Thanksgiving is a time when families get together and gather around the dining room table; giving thanks for all that is brought to them. Carving their turkey's and drinking their wine talking about the good old days as the football game plays in the background. So, while Frank
Scoleri sits in his library drinking his tea all alone, and Kraig Stagg studies Frank's books on speaking English for dummies,
it will be a gloomy day for the Imperial Dictatorship as they hand their tag team titles over to me and Fady the Bull.
This is Mr. Casino wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving and for Lion and Raider fans, you never know!
What
Thanksgiving Means to Me Web-Lecture by Bruising Bookworm Frank Scoleri
Posted: November 4, 2009 As much as I wish you could hear this lovely concerto by Mozart, it would mean granting you access to my personal library. And let us be blunt, the only business you have of being in my library is, well, I can really see no reason to let you into these hallowed halls. Shelf upon shelf, column after column stuffed to the brink with knowledge, what more could a member of academia ask for. I bid you all welcome to the November Web-Lecture. I hope you all took notes from the last two. Fear not, there will be no exam, but frankly your pitiful minds could do with upgrade. My apologies for using your scie, Maître Steeler, but it was the most apt phrase available. November, a lovely time of year, the month that best personifies Autumn, please refrain from calling it “Fall.” Show a little class please. But what is November in terms of history. It is the harvest month where many farmers will gather the last of their crops and prepare their lands for tilling, come the spring. Many of our animal brethren are busy preparing for hibernation, and we in America prepare for Thanksgiving. Officially made a holiday by Lincoln in 1863, it is meant to commemorate brotherhood and close ties to our fellow man. Traditionally, the image we see is off the Pilgrims sitting down to a meal with the local Native Americans. I find this terribly ironic considering the vast European expansion in the New World, the rape of this land’s resources and the blind oppression of those very Natives are what truly occurred during those first 200 years and continuing into the late 20th century. From Plymouth Colony to Jamestown in my beloved and historically significant state of Virginia, the rightful owners of this land were persecuted and forced off their ancestral soil by your ancestors. Thankfully, my bloodlines can be traced to a country that didn’t indulge in this geological pillaging, my conscious is clean. But I digress. Once forced off their land, the natives, those that survived, took refuge in Appalachian Mountains to the West. Even there, they found no peace. Hostile winters and the ever expanding European territorial gains, it is enough to make one sick to his stomach. The Island of Manhattan for a cup of beads, dear me that was a horrible trade. You may all continue your “traditional celebration” with your feast, but I shall spend Thanksgiving in my own fashion. With a cup of tea and three books, that is all that I require. Until my December Web-Lecture, J'ai offert vous tous, Bonne nuit. Imperial Dictatorship Begins Internationally Speaking by German Menace Kraig Stagg Posted: October 29, 2009 Am vergangenen Wochenende in böser Absicht Blake und Corino zum Opfer fiel die Macht und intelligance der kaiserlichen Diktatur der deutschen Bedrohung und der Bluterguss Bookworm. Und am Tag 2 haben wir unseren Titel erfolgreich verteidigen gegen die ungleiche Paar von Herrn Casino und Fady, die herausfanden, dass Imperial Diktatur nicht nur brillant und kräftig, aber rücksichtslos wie gut ist. - Kraig Stagg This past weekend at Evil Intentions, Blake and Corino fell victim to the might and intelligence of the Imperial Dictatorship of the German Menace and the Bruising Bookworm. And on Day 2, we successfully defended our new IWF Tag Team Titles against the unlikely duo of Mr. Casino and Fady the Bull who found out that Imperial Dictatorship is not only brilliant and strong, but ruthless as well. -Kraig Stagg
More Fuel for the Fire Posted: October 28, 2009 Words cannot express how regretful I am to myself
and especially the IWF fans, for many reasons. The first being not able to capture the American Title against Franciz,
and second is unfortunately still being an un-official member of The Ross Family. I'm
glad that Rich had to send in the mastodon to do his dirty work for him. Rich make note of this: Anytime, Anyplace,
Anywhere! Believe me when I say that you can send anyone you want against me and I'll be willing to do it all over again!  My Evil Intentions Juicy Details by Juicy Justin Corino Posted: October 19, 2009 As a proud member of arguably the greatest tag team to step into the IWF, things just haven't been the same as of
late. You see, there are two delusional goons named Frank Scoleri and Kraig Stagg who walk around with OUR belts, calling
themselves IWF Tag Team Champions. The fact of the matter is this; they know the two of them combined don't have what
it takes to beat Blake and I, so they had to take the sissy route and steal our title belts. Come October 24th, bet your money that we are going to wipe those stupid smirks off your ugly faces, take our belts back, and EARN the right to call ourselves not only the best, but the undisputed Tag Team Champions (something you two clowns can't do). In conclusion, I am not going to sit here and talk any more crap. Unlike Stagg and Scoleri, that isn't what I'm about. This Saturday, if it's a war you want, then your wish is our command. Make sure you do whatever it takes to attend Saturday, October 24 to witness in person, what Stellar Travis and Juicy Justin's Evil Intentions are.  Kevin Knight with Shannon Tweed,
star of A&E's Gene Simmons Family Jewels, at KISS - Madison Square Garden, October 10 Rock n' Roll All Night, IWF Every Day A Knight's Tale by Kevin Knight Posted: October 17, 2009 Last weekend was only the third weekend all year IWF did not have a live event. All three "off weekends" occurred
on holiday weekends. We have been extremely busy with 70 shows so far this year...51 children's birthday party
events and 19 regular events. We will end up with 90 events for 2009. So last Saturday,
October 10, I saw KISS at Madison Square Garden on the Alive/35 tour. They are celebrating 35 years of rockin' and rollin' all
night, and partying every day. Having been to over 50 concert-type events (music, comedy, plays, etc), this was
the best show I ever saw. So I got to reminiscing and looked through all the ticket stubs I saved from all live acts
I have been to... Kiss, Paul Stanley solo, Van Halen, David Lee Roth solo, Sammy Hagar solo, Alice
Cooper, Hall & Oates, Journey, Def Leppard, Queensryche, Eagles, Don Henley solo, Sheryl Crow, Bangles, Madonna,
Bon Jovi, Jason Mraz, Skid Row, Bryan Adams, Kenny Rogers, Rick Springfield, Til' Tuesday, .38 Special, Simply Red, Genesis, Paul
Young, Glass Tiger, The Hooters, INXS, George Michael, and Joan Jett. Heck, I've even seen comedians such as Lisa Lamponelli, Bea Arthur and Don Rickles. What memories.
I just love attending live shows. So I know how important it is when fans and children come to an IWF live event.
We work on improving the live experience for our fans and party guests with each performance. Since our debut 12 years
ago in 1998, there have been 425 IWF live events. At Evil Intentions, we will debut a new wrestlers entrance stage, and some new lighting effects. Being successful is always a work in
progress, and you learn something new every day. We've come a long way baby, but you ain't seen nothing yet!  Earning the Right to be Called a Champion Reaching for the Stars by Stellar Travis Blake Posted: October 16, 2009 Evil Intentions is almost here and I'm just as psyched for this weekend as I was for my first-ever match. I love to compete and look
forward to every event, every time. The competition is always fierce and the titles in the IWF are prestigious.
Every champion...past, present and future...had some undeniable quality to obtain gold, no matter the means. Every
titleholder deserved the right to call oneself a champion. However, somehow Scoleri and Stagg slipped through the cracks. They didn't win the tag team titles, they literally STOLE them! To make matters worse, they proclaim on Eruption and post 'web-lectures' that they are the rightful title holders! Obviously, this gets under my skin in ways they can't fathom. Juicy Justin and myself beat the most ruthless
team in IWF history to win those titles, and Scoleri and Stagg have no right to announce themselves as champions. So at Evil Intentions, I'm not just looking to compete, I'm looking for revenge. Both Justin and I are determined
to leave IWF Centre STILL tag team champions, and have the belts fully in our possession.  The Odds Of Winning The Casino Chronicles by Mr. Casino
Posted: October 10, 2009 Let's discuss how the odds come into affect. The odds can be tricky, but if you know how to play them, it could lead you to a high stakes victory. Odds are used in all types of gambling, rather it be at the race track, a football game, poker, or even in the wrestling ring. They tell the story of any wager, so lets discuss how to play them. Football- in last months edition of making the right picks, we talked about how the Colts had trouble covering the spread against division rivals. Lately, the Colts have been impressive in covering the spread dominating both the Cardinals and the Seahawks. However, here is the real test. This week, they visit the 0-4 Tennessee Titans. What are the odds of the Titans really going 0-5? Tennessee is only the 3 point underdog, which shows how Indy struggles every time the two meet. This time, Indy has a fairly easy line to cover but it will be difficult week for the Colts as the Titans always play them tough. The Race Track - whether you bet on horse racing or dog racing, playing the odds are the same. The two most common wages are betting to win, or win, place, and show. In every race, there are 8 horses. If you play to win, you have a 1 out of 8 chance of winning. If you play to win, place, and show, you have a 3 out of 8 chance of winning. However, all three of your horse choosing's have to rank in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place which can be quite tricky. But if accomplished, the payout is well worth the gamble. The odds determine how much money you could win. If the odds show that the horse is a 2-1 favorite, the chances of winning are excellent, but does not pay as much as a 15-1 horse which chances of winning are a long shot. To make a long story short, the chances of a horse with 15-1 odds is equal to the chance of Evan Schwartz winning a match. Now if the line is even, that means the odds are equal. Last month, Bright Lights Jarrett Foster stated that in our fatal four way match, the odds aren't going to be in my favor. I have to admit he was correct, but this month it's different. There are no odds and there are no lines, it's him against me and I am sure, I will be adding yet another piece of gold to my fortune.  30 Day Prison Sentence A Women's Point of View by Jennifer Posted: October 8, 2009 After weeks of shining Mr. Ross' shoes, tailoring Chris Steeler "dressy suits'', babysitting Dan McGuire, cleaning Damian Adams apartment, and finally feeding Franciz 12 times a day (which takes up most of my time), I finally have a much needed break! Chris Steeler, last month you walked away still the IWF Champion but only by the skin of your teeth. To say that I gave you a run for your money would be a understatement. If you or your ''family'' disagrees with that, then you guys are even dumber then you look. Chris, ever heard of something called sweet revenge, I have, and I can't wait to see the look on your miserable face when you finally get yours!!!!!! Now, onto the Mastodon Franciz. It seems out of all the lame people in your family, that you've taken it upon yourself to bark your orders around at me the most. Need I remind you Franciz that you were not the one who got the pin against me, and to be honest, if it was you and me in that ring, I have no problem standing toe to toe with you. I know most people in the IWF are scared of you, but I'm not 1 of them and if you want to try me, then I suggest you take your best shot. Hey, everyone knows I'm all about trying to make history and I think "American Champion Jennifer" has a nice ring to it..don't you :) !!!!!! A huge thank you to the IWF fans for supporting me when I need it the most, and lord knows having to deal with this mess, I'm going to need it. Well, I have Boss Ross yelling at me to get back to work now. Maybe I'll vacuum for him again. I know how much he loves it when I do that :)!!!!
Change is in the Air Web-Lecture by Bruising Bookworm Frank Scoleri Posted: October 5, 2009 Can you smell the change in the air? The crisp smell of Autumn bestows it’s aroma to us all. It also signifies the arrival of Frank Scoleri’s October Web-Lecture. As I sit here in my vast library, a hot cup of Jasmine Tea resting at my side, I ponder what subject to grace you with. Though All Hallow’s Eve is upon us, I find what the confectionery companies have done to this once fascinating celebration most repulsive. As I mentioned before, the season has changed at the same time, the IWF Tag Team Championship has changed hands. As of now, the German Menace Kraig Stagg and I now sit atop Olympus among our fellow Gods. But as I understand it, there is some controversy as to whom the titles belong to. Though Stagg and I were victorious, Masters Corino and Blake claim the titles cannot change hands via count out. Many men have made claims of this dated rule for decades; the entirety has cowardly invoked this rule. Ha, I laugh at this charade. Is all you have in your arsenal a dated rule? Such childish logic is laughable. But if you insist, I shall cite historical precedent on why Stagg and I have a rightful claim to the titles, against Corino and Blake’s claim of the sanctity of the rules. This is America, though I prefer my blood home Italy, we have never been ones to honor the rules bestowed on us. The American Revolution began with the Stamp Act of 1765, where the colonists refused to pay the take mandated by His Majesty King George III. Later on December 13, 1773, Bostonian “loyal” to the colonies, committed acts of trespassing and piracy when they boarded the ship Dartmouth and “heroically” threw the fine British tea into Boston Harbor. Tis such a waste. A mere three years later, July the 4th, 1776, these loyal subjects of the British Empire committed the act of High Treason by severing all political ties with His Majesty’s government. This “fine” nation was founded under acts that would warrant execution for the late 18th Century. “I only regret that I have but one life to give for my country.” Ha, Nathan Hale deserved to hang from the gallows on that day in September, 1776. Ergo, we are a nation of “rule-breakers.” If your “intellect” prefers something more modern, let us visit the middle of the 20th Century, when mankind lost it’s “innocence.” The Manhattan Project, 1942-1945, was America’s military project to develop the Atomic Bomb. A weapon that would change the face of the world forever, and instilled so much fear, it has not been used since. When we deployed “Little Boy” and “Fat Man” on August 6th and 9th of 1945, we did so with a minor threat that the Japanese faced “total destruction.” The United States gave the Japanese no concrete proof of the how “effective” these bombs were, thus the treat was ignored. Soon, the United States government would claim the lives of almost 550,000 Japanese civilians. Hundreds of thousands dead, millions effected from radiation poisoning, and Corino and Blake have the unmitigated
gall to claim we have not followed the rules of conduct. I have just proven does not bend the rules, we break them or
write new ones. We were victorious, the IWF Tag Team Champions now belong to the German Menace and the Bruising Bookworm.
If you wish to dispute our claim, visit Hiroshima’s Ground Zero and ask, “アメリカは規則に続くか。” “Does America follow the rules?” Blake and Corino are beaten, Stagg and I reign supreme. Until November’s Web-Lecture, J'ai offert vous tous, Bonne nuit.
How to talk to a girl for the first time Chattin' with Chachi by Chachi
 It's Great to be Chris Steeler In Focus by Hi-Definition Chris Steeler Posted: October 1, 2009 Wow, what a great day it is to be Chris Steeler. Well actually, everyday is a great day to be Chris Steeler,
especially when you're the first and only Grand Slam Champion in IWF history. That just makes everyday better than the last. Now, after the rest of the Ross Family treated me to a great birthday at some of the best nightclubs in New York City, it was time to focus on getting back to business and doing what I do best. First up was acquiring the newest member of the Ross Family staff, and that person was Jennifer. You see, I did exactly what I told everyone I was going to do and that was defeat Jennifer and make her property of the Ross family for 30 days, and I know once these 30 days are over she will not want to leave as being on the Ross Family pay roll (even though Jennifer is not getting paid) is a privilege that any IWF Star or fan would kill for. Now, onto Mr. Bright Lights Jarrett Foster, you see after what you did to me at the end of the Fatal Four Way match at Desperate Measures, I had a bone to pick with you and by the end of the match you were given a much needed upgrade. After putting your lights out, Foster, I walked out IWF Centre still the Independent Wrestling Federation Heavyweight Champion. Oh, and don't worry, I saw the tape and I saw exactly what Jennifer did and Franciz made sure to put her in her place and she was disciplined. Well, my back is hurting and I think it’s time I find Jennifer and get myself a massage. I hope she isn't too tired since she was up all night...cooking and cleaning.  Welcome to My Knightmare A Knight's Tale by Kevin Knight Posted:
September 30, 2009 Last week, Mad Dawg Jenkins and I went to see
legendary heavy metal rocker Alice Cooper in concert at the Bergen Performing Arts Center in Englewood, NJ. The BergenPAC
is a fantastic intimate venue to see a show and the building has great acoustics. Alice Cooper is 61 years old, but performs like he is still 21. He has been on stage for over 40 years doing
what he loves to do...kill babies, strangle women, then get executed for his crimes. It's a rock n' roll horror
show at its best. His desire, dedication and passion are still
there. I am fascinated to see any legendary figure in action, no matter their field. Whether its a musician,
an athlete, a painter, or broadcaster...I love watching and learning from the best. Even though John Layfield questioned my taste and asked me if I was "mad at myself" going to see Alice
as some type of self-punishment, I thoroughly enjoyed the show. Coincidentally enough, by night's end, Mad Dawg and Alice both had a dog collar and chain around their necks.  Welcome to NutritionMarket.com
It’s Your Body. Make The Most
Of It.™ by John Bradshaw Layfield Posted: September 29, 2009 Swine flu is the most contagious flu in the history of mankind, the first phase 6 pandemic stage by the CDC. While not as fatal, as yet and hopefully won't be, as some diseases- we all are going to be affected in some way. Children and elderly are the most susceptible. The government could run out of antidotes by year’s end, and that is before the worst of flu season. The best way not to get it is to prevent it. Vitamin D has been shown to be the most effective way to fight swine flu. The problem is the way most people get Vitamin D is through the sun and flu season is in the winter- not much sun. NutritionMarket.com is the place to get the high quality Vitamin D you need to be preventive for flu season. CustomMuscle.com has changed its name to NutritionMarket.com so that there is an appeal for a more broad audience. NOW Vitamins have won awards for the quality of their vitamins and this is what NutritionMarket.com is proud to carry. We have the best prices and the best service of any website in the world. NutritionMarket.com also carries the world’s best fat burners, proteins, pre workout boosters, testosterone boosters and anti-oxidants to name a few things. NutritionMarket.com is being completely redone to become a full service site and with our marketing by Talk Radio Network (TRN)- a 60 million weekly CUME, we feel good about the level of quality we can provide. The recommended level to take by most articles and sources is somewhere around 2,000 IU daily. However, check with your doctor before taking anything.

The Entrepreneurs Entourage and Fall Brawl Evan's Two Cents by Evan Schwartz Posted: September 23, 2009 It seems as though blog fever has hit and everyone wants to get their two cents in, but we all know that what the
Entrepreneur has to say is far more important than anything anyone else has to say (although I do recommend Frank Scoleri's
Web-Lecture). Today, I come to you with a few things that have been on my mind, so once again the Entrepreneur
can show you why his pennies shine, and everyone else comes up....with short change. Mr. Casino Frankie Amantea has decided to teach us all how to make the right picks, in his blog entitled "The Casino Chronicles". He's decided to let us know that the Indianapolis Colts can't make anyone money in their own division; that the Colts are worthless when it comes to facing three teams whose combined winning percentage over the past five years is probably as good as Mr. Casino's winning percentage since he debuted in the IWF. I have no idea how this greaseball, who looks like Arthur Fonzarelli, can tell anyone how to make money. If anyone should be teaching others how to make money, it's me, the Entrepreneur. Now, it turns out that the Entrepreneur and Mr. Casino are also in the same division, the IWF Junior Heavyweight division, and it just so happens I have a pick for Mr. Casino: pick to get lost, because your chances of winning at Fall Brawl are about as good as the Jaguars winning the AFC South, no chance. I hate gambling. Speaking of the Junior Heavyweight division,
I've sat by for three years and watched many people get opportunity after opportunity for the championship.
Me? I've had on average about one shot per year since I have been here, and each time I lost unfairly. To say
that the championship committee is biased against me would be the understatement of the year. I have never lost fairly.
But the past is the past and I have never been anyone to dwell on the past. I'm the Entrepreneur, I only live for the
present and the future, and the present and future is Fall Brawl and beyond when I take that Junior championship right off
the ever growing waist of Mr. Lights and place it around my own slim, trim waist. When you own a business sometimes you realize when something isn't working and sell off what is still valuable, and
that's exactly what I did as I've sold off the remaining piece of Foreign Relations, German Menace Kraig Stagg.
Unlike most of you who work a 9-5 job, and couldn't dream of what it's like to own their own business, I realize this
decision had to be made. I wish him the best, but I wish myself better, and that is why I have started a new business
venture, the Entourage. Over the past few months I have been training Chachi very hard, and I think he finally understands
if he doesn't listen to me, he has no job. Chachi, despite popular belief, did not come cheap. If I remember correctly
he cost me about 1000 pesos, which I believe is equal to about $2.00 American...or half a taco. But
with the Entrepreneur's guidance, Chachi will help turn a profit and win titles whether he likes it or not, and allow me to
treat the other half of the Entourage, Jana, to finer things in life. I pay Jana good money to accompany
me to the ring, even though I clearly don't need to. It's obvious there is a certain glow in her eye when she sees me,
and frankly I don't blame her. So for all my fans, this Junior Championship win is dedicated to you...but dedicated
more to me :-D. Ross Family Business
Downfall of Parents and Students Web-Lecture by Bruising Bookworm Frank Scoleri Posted: September 19, 2009 Now I can share my vast knowledge with the less informed on the global level. I wonder if Aristotle himself could have fathomed how we could unify the universe with the World Wide Web. If only our elected officials could accomplish such a feat. But I digress. I would love to welcome you all to the Inaugural Frank Scoleri Web-Lecture. Please refrain from calling it a “blecture,” I find it disgraceful. In fact, my first Web-Lecture will focus on just how disgraceful the students of this country are, if you dare call yourselves that. The new school year is underway, and I find it frightfully embarrassing how many of you younger students are handling it. At a recent lecture at Rider University, I noted many students were busy texting, day dreaming, and Twittering while I was lecturing the class. I spent several months studying the socio-economic strife of Third World countries, wrote a brilliant paper on the subject, and while I try to enlighten the “students” to the world, and they could care less. This impertinent behavior is not just relegated to our universities, but our secondary and even primary schools. Parents wonder why their students fail in their studies, and have the fortitude to unjustly place blame on teachers. This is absolutely detestable. Perhaps if parents take more responsibility and ensure their children open a textbook and study, these United States wouldn’t be the laughing stock of the educational world. But I suppose the old saying stands firm, “Incompetence breeds more incompetence.” Forgive me, I seem to have gone on a rant of how lazy your children really are, and robbed you of a chance to broaden your horizons. Aber es konnte nicht geholfen werden. For those of you whom have been scratching your head the last few minutes, allow me to enlighten you. A proper education is a privilege to be had, yet too many treat it as a proverbial “chore,” thinking you can go through your life with you head in the clouds. Texting is a large distraction, day dreaming is for underachievers, and Twittering is for the social inept who have no concept of reality. If you do not wish to have a proper education, that is your purgative, but do not squander the system’s valuable time. I am sure young gentlemen who text during class can find a meaningful life flipping burgers. And young ladies constantly Twittering, well lets pray you marry a man who did pay attention in class. For now I shall retire to my library with a cup of tea. Until my next Web-Lecture, J'ai offert vous tous, Bonne nuit.
How to Make the Right Picks! The Casino Chronicles by Mr. Casino Frankie Amantea Posted: September 16, 2009 After a long summer of cashing in the chips and winning big, a new season brings excitement to the eyes of a gambler.
The cool, crisp breeze of autumn means one thing, and that my friends is football. Now don't get me wrong, it's great
to just sit back and enjoy the games but for me, that's just not enough. When money is involved...I am there, which
brings me to today's blog: "How to make the right picks!" Picking the winning team could be tricky and to be honest with you, anyone could beat anyone at any time. "Hang in there Lion fans, your time will come." But what happens when you play with the line? How do you know if your team is going to clear that spread? Today, we are going to discuss a great team that just can't seem to cover the points. The Indianapolis Colts.
It seems Tony Dungy wasn't the only head coach who couldn't get the job done...Jim Caldwell is taking over right where the
Colts left off last year. Last week, the Jaguars were the 7.5 point underdog. After missing the two point conversion, it led the Colts to yet another close victory. The Colts can't cover a spread over division games. So, rather it be against the Jaguars, Titans or Texans, if they are getting the points take the underdog. This is Mr. Casino signing out for week one. We will have to see if the Colts can pull off some point clearing action when they face off against the Miami Dolphins in week two.
Desperate Times Call
for Desperate Measures Posted: August 19, 2009 Summer is almost over and Jersey still smells as bad as ever. With that said, what better time to bring back the most popular blog in history, Evan’s Two Cents. I'm sure you watched August Eruption. I'll tell you that I sure did. Over and over. And you know why? Because of the mistreatment I received
at the hands of Fady the Bull. I was busy addressing my fans of my current setback (I have a very itchy shoulder), and
he storms in while I'm not looking, and pushes me out of the way because he wasn't given time to speak. Well that screams
sore loser, and I don't like sore losers. See, when you're clearly not as popular as the Entrepreneur, you have to stoop
to such repulsive, desperate measures.
