 Travis Blake: A Life Of Awesome Reaching for the Stars BLOG by Self-Made Travis Blake Posted: October 20, 2011 What if you could travel back in time to witness the birth of awesomeness?  Holding Out for a Hero Reaching for the Stars BLOG by Self-Made Travis Blake Posted: August 12, 2011 Steeler, the IWF's self appointed and totally unwanted "Guardian" has
been on a mission to right all the wrongs taking place here in the IWF. Well, who is Chris Steeler to decide???
He calls himself a hero but I think he's a fraud. I'd like to dedicate my latest blog entry to honor some real hero's: But I digress, my point is that every time Steeler stepped up, I always shut him down. In fact, it was Steeler that asked for the match at Summer Sizzler, and the end justifies the means, no matter how you look at it I came out the victor. Now I don't feel Steeler deserves a rematch.... but in the event the IWF Championship Conspiracy Committee grants his wish yet again I will find a way to overcome these constant obstacles as I am the true hero in this story.
Kraig's List Posted: August 11, 2011 Since his early days of training in Hamburg, Germany, Kraig Stagg has had one goal: to completely rule the wrestling world, proving that Das Vaterland is the dominant country. Now is the perfect time for Yours Truly to showcase the NEW IWF American Champion's "Kraig's List" en route to accomplishing that goal: As a young power-lifter, Kraig Stagg wanted to demonstrate his brute strength outside of the weight room. So, with hundreds of people watching, Stagg pushed over his neighbor's Volkswagen... WITH ONE HAND! (By the way, he never did turn the car back over onto it's wheels, and the car remains toppled to this day for fear that the German Menace would do the same thing to it's owner.) While soliciting to become a pro-wrestler, Stagg's menacing sneer alone instilled so much fear, no one wanted to train him, until Kevin Knight reluctantly undertook the task. Knight has regretted doing so ever since. Even then, Knight knew The German Menace would tyrannize his way through IWF competition. In this rare instance, Knight was indeed right. From day one, the IWF Championship Committee has held Stagg back in singles competition. Not once, in three years, was he granted an American or IWF Heavyweight title match. Menace had no choice but to dominate the Tag Team division and co-hold the IWF Tag Team Championships on three separate occasions. On July 30, 2011, the Championship Committee had no choice but to finally put my German Menace against the only man to simultaniously hold both the IWF American and Heavyweight Championships, "Real Deal" Flex Freeman. As the Championship Committee feared, Stagg handed the undefeated Flex Freeman his first defeat to become the first German to hold the American Championship. "Kraig's List" will be complete when my German Menace dethrones current IWF Heavyweight Champion Flex Freeman and presents the title belt to both the President and Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany. The question is, how long will it take the IWF Championship Committee to grant Stagg a Heavyweight Championship Title opportunity? Until that time, Yours Truly promises Stagg's Reign of Terror will continue in the Independent Wrestling Federation, completely decimating ANYONE who gets in his way!  No One Listens Reaching for the Stars BLOG by Self-Made Travis Blake Posted:
July 29, 2011 Everyone can hear, but no
one truly listens. Now, don't get me wrong, I've achieved some great successes so there's nothing
wrong with trying to copy what I do... but my excellence can never be surpassed. But since Steeler wants to make comparisons,
let's compare:  Casting Call Reaching for the Stars BLOG by Self-Made Travis Blake Posted: July 13, 2011 There was a time when I was obsessed with plastering my face all over every form of media, like my buddy Bright Lights
Jarrett Foster. However, my goals have changed and my #1 concern is the art of making money. With that being said,
I do still like to have my version of fun and use my knowledge of "behind the scenes" movie production to my advantage.
The good news is that you don't actually have to produce a major Hollywood film, or anything close to it. You can hold an audition for just about anything like a community theater production of "Spaceballs," a commercial for your dying eBay business specializing in McDonald's collectible cups or your awkward family lineage on film. Q: Do I have to make whatever I held auditions for? A: Of course not! If someone asks what happened to the epic shot-for-shot of the female lifeguard running in slow motion you can just deploy the old Hollywood standby: "The funding fell through." That's the art of lying. Now to get going, you'll need to get the word out with something called a "casting call." Here's the one I used recently for my company's corporate video: Casting Call for "IWF Championship Committee Cares" Major industrial production directed by acclaimed producer, Travis Blake. Role: Cindi. New IWF Championship Committee Member-Employee. Probably some sort of secretary or whatever it is ladies do in an office. Seeking: Hotties 18-29. (Please bring three forms of documentation to verify age. Seriously, if you're over thirty, I will find out.) Wardrobe has already been selected. Actress will need measurements of 34-24-25. Skills: Being hot, quick change artist, Being hot, Thai massage, being hot (can not be stressed enough) Please send one head shot, one full length shot (preferably in swimsuit) and a shot of you reaching for something. Actually, forget about the head shot. Audition Reading: IWF Committee Members Office ::Cindi enters the office. Mr. Blake "committee member" works feverishly at his desk:: Cindi - "Gee, Mr. Blake, you sure do look tense." Blake - "It's just these gosh-darn contracts." ::Cindi walks over to Mr. Blake and starts massaging his shoulders:: Cindi - "Here, let me help loosen you up" Blake - "That's great. Can I return the favor?" ::Cindi turns to camera:: Cindi - " At the IWF, we care about each other." ::FADE TO BLACK:: Casting calls like these are guaranteed to always attract females every time. Will not work for; Actual IWF Committee
Members or Kevin Knight, Flex Freeman, & Chris Steeler.  Arcade and Slade Brigade The Game Room BLOG by Live Wire Donte Arcade Posted: July 9, 2011 For a while now, Karson Slade and
myself sat back and let our actions speak louder than our words. Everybody had something to say about us, "how we would
be paper champions" or "how we are too young to be taken seriously." But, we are still here as the IWF
Tag Team Champions! Last time I checked, we even have a win over the IWF Heavyweight Champion Franciz
and The Illusionist Damian Adams. See, what everybody doesn't know is that Slade and myself, we're a classic case of
a dynamic duo. You could even go as far as to compare us to the greatest dynamic duo ever, Super Mario and Luigi. The "Arcade and Slade Brigade" is just starting to get warmed up, and we are making it our sworn duty to the entire IWF that we will not rest until we are one of the greatest tag teams in IWF history! We've already made our mark as being THE fastest rising tag team in the IWF, and we are only going to keep rising from there. The "Arcade and Slade Brigade" will take on any challengers, whether it's the First Team, Glitz & Glamour, Absolutely Menacing, a Hi-Def Mastodon, or even…a Real Deal Demon of the IWF! Whoever tries to challenge us, better bring some extra lives with them, otherwise they will experience GAME OVER!  An ABSolutely
Great Addition A Hole in One BLOG by Yours Truly, Larry Lawson Posted: June 25, 2011 As Yours Truly sees it, "out
with the old and in with the new" is the most appropriate explanation for the events that transpired during May.
Whether on the golf course or inside a ring, Yours Truly Larry Lawson, has an ACE ability for scouting real talent. At IWF Mayhem Day 1, my German Menace Kraig Stagg defeated IWF rookie Edwin.
Even though Edwin did not score a HOLE-IN-ONE against Mr. Stagg, Yours Truly was ABSolutely impressed in what I saw in this
newcomer. The next day, Yours Truly sent a couple of my associates to watch this ABSolutely gifted athlete train. The
reports I got back were ABSolutely favorable. All it took was a meeting on the GREEN, a hand-shake, and a couple of
Yours Truly's beautiful Argylettes... and ABSolutely Edwin was born! At Mayhem Day 2, The German Menace and Yours Truly discarded the DEAD WOOD that was creating a BUNKER in my Lucrative
Legislation. With ABSolutely Edwin being an ABOVE-PAR athlete, where others aren't even fit to be my CADDIE, the decision
to welcome him onto Yours Truly's side of the golf course was an easy one. Yours Truly was delighted when my German Menace reached out his powerful Deutsch hand in comradeship to ABSolutely
Edwin, welcoming him into the FRINGE prior to their teaming for the first time as "ABSolutely Menacing" at Commissioner's Cup Day 1. Edwin and Stagg battled Tag Team Champions Donte Arcade & Karson Slade in the opening round that night,
but were DUFFED by lousy officiating when the referee declared the contest a double-count-out. At Commissioner's Cup Day 2, my German Menace will hit an EXPLOSION SHOT to defeat Slade in singles competition. And Yours Truly knows
it's a GIMME that ABSolutely Edwin will have ABSolutely no problem stopping the game of Donte Arcade. Sorry Slade &
Arcade, but after June 25th, you will be GROUND UNDER REPAIR. With
such exceptional wrestlers in my Lucrative Legislation, Yours Truly hits a Hole-In-One each time out and continues to prove
that I have all the STROKE in the IWF. Just admit it, IWF fans, the jealousy felt each time ABSolutely Edwin walks to
the ring with Yours Truly by his side is... ABSolutely Yours!  Man of My Word In-Focus BLOG by Hi-Definition Chris Steeler Posted:
June 23, 2011 When I said I would do whatever I needed to do in order to win the Commissioner's Cup Tag Team Tournament, I meant it. When Rich Ross made me team with The Mastodon Franciz, I knew things weren't going to be easy. In the first round, it was myself and Franciz up against All-Star Austin Williams and Scrap Iron Joey Golden. Golden was the
replacement partner for Varsity Marc Corino. I did what I had to do, and that meant kicking Austin in his face.
I'm just glad that he understood that it was just business and nothing personal. I also told Rich Ross and Franciz that I would not hesitate for a second to kick Franciz in his fat jaw again, and as everyone witnessed, I did just that. I honestly think I may of actually helped Franciz though. I'm pretty sure he hasn't been able to eat solid food since. Maybe he even dropped a few pounds. As
a matter of fact, if things go the way I want them to go, Franciz will be dropping more weight. I say about 20 lbs worth,
20 lbs of gold called the IWF Heavyweight Championship. Something that I have held twice and look to hold for a third time. Fat man, just know that I am a man of my word, and when I say that I vow to win this Tournament, I mean it. When I say that when this is all over, and I am finally free from you and from Rich Ross, your IWF Heavyweight Championship is the next thing on my list.
A Life of Over-Achieving by
Self-Made Travis Blake It is with great sympathy and sorrow that I regretfully inform you that I do not engage in or entertain relationships. My concern is with one thing and one thing only: WINNING! Whether it be in the ring or making money, a relationship is a nuisance that can only bog me down. I already did the IWF a huge favor by not entering the Commissioner's Cup Tag Team Tournament after the IWF Committee begged and pleaded with me, exclaiming with the obvious logic that "it just wouldn't be fair to other IWF competitor's." So being the humble sportsman that I am, I politely issued an open challenge. And just who answered the call on June 11th? Jana. So the real question is, why Jana would want to step in the ring with the IWF's most decorated star: To make an impact? Nope. To establish female dominance in sports? I think not. To touch my body? Bingo! It's so clear, Jana wants a date. But I have a rule - put a girl on her back only once. Seeing as how I have beaten Jana via pinfall, sweetheart - that's it for you. So I hope you got your fix Jana, because I'm done with you. You can stop writing to me, stop texting me and stop calling.... unless you're going to set me up with a cute friend of yours, we're done here.  History in the Making!  A Life of Over-Achieving Reaching for the Stars BLOG by
Self-Made Travis Blake Posted: May 21, 2011 During Eruption I boasted about my self attained accolades as pertaining to my IWF career. My last blog entry
provided insight regarding the money I made during our county's "job drought." Right now, I'd like to take
this opportunity to show, not just tell, everyone how I've been an over-achieving man of action all my life. So I'm
posting a copy of the Ocean County Asbury Park Press newspaper circa 1991. Note the actual article could not be scanned
as it is now documented and displayed at the Smithsonian institute in Washington D.C. No Handouts and No Public Assistance Reaching for the Stars BLOG by Self-Made Travis Blake Posted: May 4, 2011 Turns out, my
suspension was the best thing that could have happened to me. Sure, I guess I could have went to the unemployment office
and took government handouts to get by, but that's not how I operate... I'm better than you. Face it, I can do anything, and with no assistance from you or anyone else. My cause is noble; my power is pure; my reach is global; my goals are righteous. Even with my expanded wealth, one fact remains... I always want more! So, I decided to include everyone in my brainstorming to gain more monetary value: - Design an engine 84 miles to the gallon of gasoline. - Motocross racer. - Bartender. - Veterinarian (solely because chick's like animal-lovers). - Reality TV. - Conduct a search for Obama's non-existent birth certificate. - OR, I could return to the IWF in time to pin WWE Legend Bushwhacker Luke's shoulders to the mat at Mayhem, therefore increasing my IWF net worth... and salary! A Letter to Commissioner Rich Ross A Hole in One by Yours Truly, Larry Lawson  Posted: March 24, 2011 Dear Commissioner Ross, Please consider this as a follow-up to our previous discussions regarding Flex Freeman's assault on Yours Truly at IWF Winter Warfare. I've consulted my attorneys about Mr. Freeman. His attack on myself was unwarranted. Because of his actions on January 28, 2011 I've been forced to wear an orthopedic neck brace and undergo physical therapy three times a week. You can rest assured that Flex will be deal with and I will do everything in my power to ensure retribution! Sir, I ask you: Do you want Flex as your American Champion? Do you want someone who I dislike to represent the IWF? "The Illusionist" Damian Adams already has physical possession of the IWF American Title. That's a good first step. Mr. Ross, my suggestion on how to handle this situation is three-fold: First, strip Flex Freeman of the IWF American Championship and declare Mr. Adams the current Champion. Next, fine and suspend Flex Freeman for an amount and duration that you deem suitable. Then, once "The Illusionist" recovers from his rib injury (which, by the way, was also caused by Flex) set-up a Triple Threat Match for The IWF American Title between "The Illusionist" Damian Adams vs. "The Bruising Bookworm" Frank Scoleri vs. "The German Menace" Kraig Stagg. Commissioner Ross, my dear friend, I believe this to be the only fair and just way to handle this situation. I know you will do the right thing, as always, sir. Yours Truly looks forward to seeing you at IWF March Madness. Sincerely, Yours Truly, Larry Lawson  Rebirth In Focus by Hi-Definition Chris Steeler Posted: January 19, 2011 The year 2010 ended with a bang for Chris Steeler. Myself and Dangerous Danny E took each other to the limit at December to Remember and wrestled to a 15-minute draw. This reminded me of Superman #199 where Superman and The Flash had a race around the world and came up even which made them even closer friends. Now, even though myself and Danny E have had our problems in the past I hope this match let Dan know how much respect
I have for him. This leads me into 2011. Every single year, everyone makes a new years resolution. But a fact is that 99% of people never keep
them. But Chris Steeler is the one percent. I
vow not only to myself but to everyone in the locker room and all of the IWF fans that I DO NOT plan on breaking my resolution.
My resolution is to have a new beginning or a re-birthing so to speak. I promise to do everything in my power to make
up for all the wrong that I have done in the past. I know that it may take time to prove to many that I am actually trying to turn things around but I am willing to do what it takes to prove it. I am willing to stand up to any who try to make me stray from what I know is my true path. I realize now what my true calling is, I know now that I am here to fight for the ones who can't, help the ones who need, and stop those who pray on the weak. Stop those who use their money, their size, or their smarts
to push and bully around those who may not be as fortunate or as big. Because I am the true believer that at some point
everyone needs a guardian.
Rebuilding The
Lucrative Legislation Posted: January 18, 2011 Think it over, big man! If you're lucky, I'll let you be my caddie. And MAYBE you'll have the privilege of carrying the putter of Yours Truly. I'll see you on the 28th, when assembling the new Lucrative Legislation begins!  Resolutions Unwrapping of a Gift From the offices of Aaron Stride Enterprises, Inc. Posted: January 13, 2011 The setting on New Years Resolutions is an annual occurrence. A time of year
where people look back on their failure and missed accomplishments and say this will be the year I get it right. Why
does it take the passage of time for society to accept they need to make a change? It's because people fear time and
its unspoken command over us. Time has a way of weeding out the weak and allowing the strong to flourish. As 95%
of the American society attempts to trim the fat, Aaron Stride Enterprises seemingly has followed suit. With a year of very few blemishes on the books, it appears the latest for the
Enterprises has one person to blame. 2010 closed with a defeat by the hands of WWE Hall of Famer Tito Santana and a 60 day banishment of Simply Stellar Travis Blake. Over the next 60 days, Travis Blake should focus on finding himself, improving
himself, and showing exactly what stellar is. The Enterprises has yet to make a poor investment and the early returns
on Travis Blake show that there might be a first for everything. God's Gift likes what he sees in the mirror and
for good reason. It's time for the rest of you to take a look at yourself. The blur you see in the background
is life passing you by. As you sit and wait for life to be handed to you, God's Gift is making the most of your missed opportunities.
Life will continue to pass those who wait by and God's Gift will continue living the life you were meant to live. Merry Christmas to Me: Reaching for the Stars by Stellar Travis Blake Posted:
December 16, 2010 I
love the holidays! Most people decorate with big red stockings by the fireplace, my place is decorated with disregarded
stockings as well, though most aren't big nor red. As I'm sure everyone's noticed, I've been extra special good this year. Now, I'm not asking the guy in a red
suit for much, just some advice, I'd really like to know how he sneaks out of so many women's houses undetected. I'm
good, but I'm not that good. But if you have to get me something (and I know you want to) I've comprised a short list: - 2011 Chevy Camaro - Silk Neck Ties - Foxy Boxing Season Tickets - Fully Operational Death Star - A Dad - Zune mp3 Player (Cobra Kai jiu jitsu limited edition) - Justin's Sister - For The General Public To Dress Better - Radio Flyer Red Wagon - To hear Justin Corino scream "I QUIT" at IWF's December to Remember this Friday!  T'was December
To Remember: Laying Down The Law by Yours Truly, Larry Lawson Posted: December 16, 2010 Twas December To Remember, all through the IWF. Not a soul is safe, not even the ref. In anticipation of bell-time, fans are getting unruly. Because deep down they admire The Bruising Bookworm, The German Menace, and of course, Yours Truly. Insignificant others will be there - a lover, a flexer, a knight and some fist-pumping dude. But all will pale in comparison to MY dictating brood. With our backs to the wall, tag-team gold we'll regain. But not before our opponents experience excruciating pain. Attention all foes, and so-called allies too! Spending the Holidays in the hospital won't be so happy for you! It's time to fold 'em Casino, Saturday WON'T be your day. The Fatal-Four-Way Elimination Tag Match will go MY way! As a momento, fans, you'll want to save your ticket stub. Because December will be the month to remember for The Imperial Dictatorship and the wise-man with a golf club.   WWE Legend Jim Powers Officially
Announces his Retirement by Young
Stallion Jim Powers Posted:
December 3, 2010 Hello to all of my fans, supporters,
and friends that I have had the pleasure of knowing and meeting throughout my wrestling career. You have no idea how much
you all mean to me. Unfortunately, you don't realize these things until you get up in age, and you're not made as accessible
as I was fortunate to have been in wrestling. The other reason I am writing this letter is because I am officially announcing my retirement from pro wrestling. This is not something I just decided to do. For the last few years, retirement has weighed heavily on my mind. Basically, it's taken me this long to come to grips that I can't physically be the performer I once was. I still love wrestling just as I did when I was young, it's just the sad reality that my body can no longer take the abuse, which explains why I have remained dormant over the last few years. Admittedly, I was never a "top guy," although I wrestled my heart out to put on the best show possible for all of you. It's like the cliche goes, without you, there is no me. From when I first got into the business in 1984 until my most major injury in 1998, the 14 years of abuse I put my body through has pretty much left me crippled. From the neck injury I sustained in '98 on WCW Nitro that ended my full-time wrestling career, to a hip that needs to be replaced, to stiff joints, bad knees, bad back, and swollen ankles...my quality of life is almost nil. I used to be able to wrestle for 30+ minutes and not be winded, but now I get light-headed and out of breath just getting out of bed. I have a beautiful daughter, that once she has children of her own, I want to be able to hold my grandchild and be able to get down on the floor with them. I also have some young nieces and nephews, that I want to still be able to toss a softball or football with. I have a gorgeous wife that I still want to be able to go to places as uneventful as the grocery store. The years of wear and tear that wrestling has wreaked on my body, has already taken the ease of mobility, and a painless quality of life. The past few years, my wife, my family, my friends, and even my business manager, have told me that I need to end my career before it ends me. Through these people and prayer, I have finally come to terms with it being time to hang up the boots, as they say in the wrestling business. I thought I could make a few non-wrestling appearances, but I have canceled them. I accepted them awhile back, because I was hoping I would feel up to it. I am not. My most sincerest apologies to anyone that was hoping to see me. Jim Powers was once on top of the world, but now James Manley is physically broken down and was trying to stay in the spotlight. Sadly for me, that spotlight has faded. I apologize for the rant, anyone who knows me knows I tend to do it. Please forgive me for not being able to perform for you, or attend any conventions to meet you. It truly saddens me to no end. I love you all, you have given me memories that no one can ever take away from me. If you happen to see me somewhere in my hometown, please say hello, so I can personally thank you myself. God Bless you all, and thank you for giving me some of the best years in my life. Yours Truly, Jim Powers
December to Remember: The Game Room by: Donte Arcade Posted: December 3, 2010 Two’s the magic number. I mean look at Batman
and Robin, Mario and Yoshi, SpongeBob and Patrick…. Well now you can add Donte Arcade and Hush Holiday to that list
of epic duos. And it wasn’t too long ago that Hush and I came moments away from capturing the tag team gold from those
two dumb Donkey Kong’s, also known as Stagg and Scoleri.  Picture Perfect: Reaching for the Stars by Stellar Travis Blake Posted:
November 26, 2010 Every time a camera flashes and I'm
in the shot, it's a picture worth framing. So after dismantling the self proclaimed "Premier Athlete" Flex
Freeman and the Wannabe-Stellar-Star "All Star" Austin Williams in the same weekend, I thought I'd give you a special piece of advice in this blog. Behold… the Perfect Camera Shot. “Okay, so how do I take the Perfect Picture” you ask? Easy. Look at any picture of me. “But Travis, I don't look like you.” True, but maybe that’s because I'm not wearing a backwards trucker hat or standing shirtless next to a pimped-out '95 Jetta. You need help. Here it is. How To Take Perfect Pictures, Every time: Step 1: Put on a suit. Let's face it; wind pants are for running, sweats are for the gym, pajamas are for sleep, zoobas are for the unsalvageable. If you're leaving the house for any reason, you need a suit Step 2: Stand in front of a full-length mirror and practice your “perfect pose.” Focus on: angling your body in relation to the lens so you appear strong and sexual (think Barack Obama). Also, you'll want to broaden your shoulders to appear extra manly (think Hillary Clinton). Step 3: When you're at a venue where cameras are common (parties, birthdays, a camera store). DO: Listen for clicks and beeps of digital cameras snapping away. DON'T listen camera bearer and her friends’ “amazing” stories about how smart their cats are. Just put yourself in prime position for a picture behind them. Step 4: Most cameras flash twice. After the first, you have between 1 and 1.5 seconds to transition into your perfect pose. Don't dilly-dally! Step 5: Review your photo. It should be perfect. If not, a few hours of Photoshop or B13 Photography can fix anything (exceptions: Meg Ryan & Austin Williams)
(Vengo de las Calles Mas Fuerte de Centro America) Coming from the tough streets of Central America by Chachi
Posted: November 17, 2010
Thanksgiving Thunder Weekend is coming up and as your New IWF Heavyweight Champion I’m here to defend the title anywhere and any place. Ill defend it against anyone big, tall and fat!
Steeler, did you say the mean streets of Middlesex County were tough? If stealing cookies from little girls and nuns is your idea of training then you’re in for a wakeup call.
Steeler, I come from a place where someone like you can not walk through town past 5pm. Someone like you would be missing for years. The sad part is Steeler if your face was on a milk carton no one would even bother to look for you. Time and time again, you treated the IWF fans with disrespect and you cheated them every step of the way. As long as my hips can still shake they will never see you as the IWF Heavyweight Champion.
Steeler no one likes you. I had the liberty to be introduced to MaMa Steeler last week. She wore that red devil tight dress with those 5 inch heels. I have to admit she looks nothing like you. After a couple of margaritas she opened up to the Latin Lover quite nicely. I asked her what was wrong with you? She laughed and said ever since your hair started receding you became obsessed with TV’s, cameras, pictures, electronics and watching the LOGO channel late at night.
Steeler...Enough is enough, Thanksgiving Thunder I am going to do the IWF fans a big favor and get rid of you and give them something that they can really be thankful for. Don’t take me lightly Steeler because I’m sure you know and MaMa Steeler definitely knows that these Hips…..they Don’t LIE!!!!
P.S. Oh and Steeler tell MaMa Steeler I’ll be a late for dinner tonight and I'll just have the dessert ;-)
OORRAAALLLEEEE!!! ~~~~~~~~@ ~~~~~~~@ ~~~~~~~@ ~~~~~~~~@
Taking
It To The Street: In-Focus by Hi-Definition Chris SteelerPosted: November 16, 2010 The street is somewhere you bring your trash, and that is exactly where I am going to bring the temporary IWF Champion Chachi this weekend when he faces me, Hi-Definiton Chris Steeler, in a "Paterson Street Fight." Chachi, just because you claim to have come from a tough town in Central America does not mean you have what it takes to beat me in a street fight. You see, to train for this fight I decided to take my training to the street. That's right, the mean streets of Middlesex County. Now trust me it was some tough and intense training. There were even times that I had to duck and weave around girl scouts selling cookies (thin mints are great) and nuns collecting change at intersections for the church’s thanksgiving celebration. Chachi, listen up loud and clear. This year for Thanksgiving, I'm going to save you a very special seat this year in the Steeler household. Where is that seat you ask? Well that seat is right across from me, so every time you look up at me, you will be able to see what you once were, as the IWF Heavyweight Championship rests where is has always belonged. This Thanksgiving will be the best, the greatest, the most...dare I say...PERFECT Thanksgiving ever and nothing, not even you Chachi will stop my day from being truly, PICTURE PERFECT!  Are You Really
Worthy? Reaching for the Stars by Stellar Travis Blake Posted: November 15, 2010 Imagine,
sifting through a landfill piece by piece in hopes to find a small gem. Well that's exactly what it's been like searching
for someone to be my sidekick. Therefore, I have to officially withdrawal my casting call. Especially with so
much happening with the merger between Travis Blake Productions and Aaron Stride Enterprises, as well as, the launch of Stellar Studios (thanks to the financial backing from Rich Ross), I just don't have the time to continue the search. Here, I'll give you 2 examples of exactly what I've been receiving: --------------------------------------- Dear Travis, You sexy stellar man you. Please allow me to be by your side. I need to be with you. I've enclosed a resume with this letter, please forgive the breaks in time between jobs as i was forced to take a break due to being incarcerated. Please don't let that affect your decision. xoxo Sincerely, Lindsay Lohen --------------------------------------- Travis, BRO, i miss you man. things
arent the same without you. i realise i mey never win anothar match without u. i need ur help. -Justin
Corino --------------------------------------- No, I didn't make any typos when printing this up, that's exactly how they were written. Actually, one of the letters above was written in crayon, I'll let you guess which one. I believe associating myself with either one of them would
devalue my own awesomeness. With things so hectic I'm sure I could use someone, but let's face it, there's very few
that measure up to the Travis Blake caliber. So if you think you have what it takes to hang with the IWF's best you
can still feel free to apply, but are you really worthy?!... I doubt it  A Lucrative
Legislation: Laying Down The Law By Larry Lawson Posted: November 11, 2010 Behind every champion is a great mind... a motivator... someone who can adapt to change and have his men come out on top, by any means necessary. That's why Bruising Bookworm Frank Scoleri, of The Imperial Dictatorship, contacted me to manage he and German Menace Kraig Stagg, after they regained the IWF Tag Team Championship at Fall Brawl Weekend. With my guidance, motivation and strategic defense Mr. Scoleri and Mr. Stagg will
continue to rape, pillage and plunder their way through IWF Tag Team competition. I promise you this: The Imperial Dictatorship's
second IWF Tag Team title reign will be longer than their first. I will see to it! What are the credentials that make me so confident? Well, I don't feel that I have to present my resume to a bunch of pea-brain pee-ons; but I will say this: I was recently asked by TMZ, "Mr. Lawson, what or who is your most recent success story?" My response: "I'll give you a hint: In 1958, their team moved from New York to San Francisco. They hadn't won a championship since 1954... until I became an advisor to management and ownership this year." Now, let's briefly talk about head coach of the New York Jets, Rex Ryan. Where do you think he learned his motivational skills that are going to take his team to the Super Bowl this season? You guessed it: Me, Larry Lawson! Take note, because Tiger Woods is an example of what can happen if you turn your back on me. That's right, Tiger Woods! Mr. Woods was well on his way to surpassing Jack Nicklaus as the greatest professional golfer of all time while under my tutelage. He made millions because of ME! But then, he got greedy. He felt he no longer needed me. Look at him now. His sins got the best of him. He's become a media mockery. His wife left him. Mr. Woods has become a shell of a golfer... no, make that a shell of the man that he once was. You should have stuck with me, Tiger! I think that's more than enough proof to convince you of why, with my guidance, The Imperial Dictatorship will remain the IWF Tag Team Champions for as long as they choose. As a matter of fact, they may be the first tag-team to retire with the belts many, many years from now. If your small mind is only capable of remembering one thing, remember this: "LL" are not only the initials of yours truly, Larry Lawson, but with me by their side, The Imperial Dictatorship will be a very LUCRATIVE LEGISLATION!  What I'm Thankful For: The Game Room by: Donte Arcade Posted: November 10, 2010 What is Donte Arcade thankful for? Well besides Spiderman comics, Playstation 3, X-box 360, Nintendo Wii, Gameboy's, Super Mario, Star Wars and Family Guy...I'm thankful for Commissioner Casino for giving me the opportunity month after month to show all the Arcadiacs out there that I am championship material. This month at Thanksgiving Thunder I won't be hungry for Turkey or Ham, but for a victory in the IWF! That's why I am working hard to study techniques
from Street Fighter, exercising with Wii fit, and honing my skills in Smackdown vs. Raw 2011.  All Hallow’s Eve: Web-Lecture by Bruising Bookworm Frank Scoleri Posted: October 20, 2010 If I may have everyone’s undivided attention, for just one moment? The clock continues to tick.
The season of evil is here at last. Even one as enlightened as myself is unable to resist the allure of All Hallow’s Eve. However, I find it appalling that this ancient day is sullied by the confectionary corporations and relegated
to crude costumes. Permit me to give you a brief history lesson. Halloween as we know it stems from the Celtic festival of Samhain, a time to pay tribute to the gods and ancestors. Animal sacrifices were common during this time and practitioners would don the face of the animal and dance around bonfires and chant to appease the spirits. I suggest you continue researching on your own. But in this time of “goblins, spooks, and demons,” perhaps I should yield to this time of year and tell you TRUE horror stories. Vlad Tepus, better know as the inspiration for Bram Stroker’s character, Dracula. Do any of you know his true story? Born in 1431, Vlad grew up around violence when he was held hostage by Turks. It was this brutal up bringing
that made him the man he was. In order to keep his throne, Vlad would resort to brutality to dissuade would be invaders.
His favorite psychological strategy was also his preferred method of execution. Victims would be staked to the ground,
alive, and have a greased timber spike inserted into their rectal cavity. Once a full two feet in the body, the stake
would be placed upright and gravity would take over. Truly a horrible way to die. Approximately 100,000 souls would suffer this execution. But most gruesome, would be that Vlad dined within the forest of corpses, dipping his bread in blood of the victims. One story tells of a servant who commented on the horrid smell. Vlad ordered him impaled on the spot, with a particularly long timber. Before succumbing to death, Vlad yelled to the servant, “How is the smell from up there?” For years, this story has both terrified, and inspired me. With such black information stored within my mind, it begs the question, what am I capable of doing? Hahahaha, only I possess that knowledge……

Intentions Weekend Chattin' with Chachi by
Chachi Posted: October 17, 2010 At Evil Intentions I finally get some my payback, you see, Chris Steeler if there is something that the Latin Lover hates the most is a cheat. Steeler you know I had you back in August at Summer Sizzler Weekend; the IWF Heavyweight Title was mine! But no, you cheated me and the IWF fans. They all saw how you poked me in my eyes to pull one over on me. You caught me off guard. There is no way in hell that you are going to keep me down for 10 SECONDS if you think poking me in the eyes will get the job done. IT WON'T! The Latin Lover is the only person in the IWF who can raise the temperatures while it starts getting cooler outside.
IWF Fans trust me no need for a hot beverage or sweaters on Evil Intentions Day 1 come in with a cold cerveza and your summer
clothes because I will bring the heat that you would expect from the Latin Lover. I will be united with my señorita
the IWF Heavyweight Title as she will be grazed upon my hips. And you Steeler will be lying on the ground, permanently downgraded.
Dancing into Evil Intentions Day 2. All I can say Damien Adams the last thing you should talk about is my señoritas and my dancing. When I looked for you last month, where were you? I asked Commissioner Casino and he too couldn't find you. So what does that make you? A good magician? No. It makes you scared. Adams when you see my dancing all over you on Evil Intentions Day 2 it won't be an Illusion, the IWF fans will see right through you. Bring yourself some magical water pal because unlike your magic these hips are real and so will be my punches when they meet your face, complements of the Latin Lover!! IWF Fans you will be in for a special treat as I will take my señorita, IWF Heavyweight Championship after Evil Intentions Day 2. The thing is fans…it just won't be my title…it will be OUR IWF Heavyweight Championship!!! ORALE!!! ~~~~@  Traitor Travis
Blake: A Diva's Diary by Alissa Posted: October 15, 2010  Acts of Revenge: The Casino Chronicles by Mr. Casino Posted: October 14, 2010 Evil Intentions is the ideal time for revenge. What happened last month to The First-Team and myself, is an action that will
never be forgotten and will be addressed with serious consequences. First act of business revolves around the Stellar
Star Travis Blake. Travis, traders go no where in life. Not only did you turn your back on your partner, but you
turned your back on me. Luckily for you, I have bigger problems on my mind, but what you've done will not be forgotten.
However, there are no free rides and believe me when I say Juicy Justin Corino will make sure you get what is coming to you. Jennifer, you are nothing but a small inconvenience. You cry and moan and make every excuse there is. When you came to me a couple of months ago asking me for your job back, I took you back giving you a shot to prove yourself. So, instead of blaming your problems on Alissa and Jana, why don't you blame your problems on yourself and face the truth that you're not good enough to beat them. And if you want a bigger problem then embarrassing yourself in every match, I can arrange it. Franciz, Doctor Hurtz, Lethal injection...I'm sure you two sick twisted lunatics like the month of October. I'm sure you like evil intentions. I know you like pain and torture. But what your not going to like is the end results. FRANCIZ!. When Kevin Knight is finished with you and leaves your pathetic carcass to us, you better regret what you have done, you better regret costing us the gold, because there's a hole out there with yours and Hurtz name on it. And, the last thing you two psycho's are going to see are the worms eating out every last drop of Lethal Injection.  Evil Hatred: A Knight's Tale by Kevin Knight Posted:
October 11, 2010 I HATE Aaron Stride! I HATE Chris Steeler! I HATE Travis Blake! I HATE Franciz! I HATE Rich Ross! See you ALL at Evil Intentions Weekend! Vengeance will be mine! P.S.
- Oh, I also HATE Flo, the red-headed woman in the Progressive Insurance commercials!    Projections of another
Healthy Quarter Unwrapping of a Gift Selections from Forbes magazine article featuring Aaron Stride Enterprise, Inc. Posted: October 5, 2010 Aaron Stride Enterprises, Inc. enters fourth quarter 2010 with its greatest potential surely to be ahead. The success of God’s Gift thus far will surely translate into increased revenue and amplified exposure for the remainder of the year. The Lock’s for Love organization has called the corporate offices daily for one single strand of Aaron’s
hair. Naturally, the hair created by the fingers of a God will not come cheaply, and surely not for charity. Success
is gravitating to Commissioner Richard Ross and Mr. Stride at an exponential rate and this demand is being answered by the staffing up of publicists and talent
agents. This duo refuses to rest on their laurels as the enterprises push into the final fiscal quarter of 2010. At Fall Brawl Weekend, the American Champion fended off the IWF’s resident demon Kevin Knight for the last time. Kevin has decided to ride off into the sunset of retirement, not before cashing in on a few minimum wage paychecks from the Enterprises. As a result of his defeat, Knight is now a full-time employee of Aaron Stride Enterprises, Inc. All the rules and regulations that any other employee would be subject to also apply to Mr. Knight, including harassment. As an employee Knight will be forced to tolerate God’s Gift whether he likes it or not. Every good company views their employees as an
investment. We here at the corporate offices are aware that Kevin Knight is an investment for the future of Aaron Stride.
it's no secret that Knight has defeated the current IWF Heavyweight champion Hi Def- Chris Steeler. In between
scrubbing toilets and picking up the dry cleaning Mr. Knight should expect plenty of closed doors meetings with the advisors
of Aaron Stride. Fourth Quarter 2010 presents God’s Gift with many obvious opportunities. The 4Q2010 goals have been set high. Two corporate objectives have been set by the shareholders and those are to become the next IWF Heavyweight Champion along with capturing the IWF Tournament of Champions trophy. Yes, this event is in December and it is only
October but Aaron Stride Enterprises, Inc. wasn't built on procrastination, it flourished with a proactive mind set.
With success and titles surrounding him, God’s Gift Aaron Stride will continue to live the life you all were meant to
live.
Ross is STILL Boss!  Takin' Care
of Business The Casino Chronicles by Mr. Casino Posted: September 18, 2010 There has been a lot of action going on in the IWF. As the new Commissioner, it has been a long couple of months
running the business. A lot has changed, but mostly in a good way. There are a few minor inconveniences, but nothing
that can't be handled. Before we address the jokers, lets talk about the Ace's. Back in June, I managed my team the First Team, a rookie team all the way to the Commissioner's Cup Championship. The First Team came up one card short of the cup. But instead of giving up and settling for just competing for the titles, they went all in giving it their best taking home the tag team championships and cashing in the ultimate jackpot. They earned the gold making myself apart of a championship team and giving me everything I could ask for. However, once the underdogs, the First Team has now become the favorites which means everyone wants apart of our gold. I must congratulate both Justin Corino and Kraig Stagg in their victories at the lucky 13 Casino Royale Rumble. Both have elected to cash in their chips against my team. That is why it's time we take care of business. Not only do we have to focus on Center Stage and the Imperial dictatorship, but the jokers of Lethal Injection Franciz and Doctor Hurtz. Franciz and Hurtz has been sticking their noses in business in which they don't belong. But I have a solution to their sick and twisted mind games. Since the Mastodon can't seem to stay out of Center Stage and The First Teams business, in assurance that there are no interferences I will be handcuffed to the Mastodon at ringside making sure he stays out of the match and doesn't get in the way of my boys title defense. Franciz, I assure you that at Fall Brawl Weekend, your actions will be taught a valued lesson when you see how your Commissioner Mr. Casino takes care of business.  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……….
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.
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.  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.  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…  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. 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.  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  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.
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.  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. 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.
