8 years of driving you insane & Deaf Wrestlefest Results

WOW, Has it been 8 years already? After all these years I have No idea where to start about since there has been way too many changes and ups and downs the last 8 years. I am going to start in the beginning and discuss the History of Insane Wrestling









I was a Hugh Fan of wrestling pretty much my whole life, but started to really be a fan in 1993 and haven't stopped since and once I got into High school I wanted to do and be much more than a Fan of the Business... With a Bunch of Ideas Popping through my head when I first got a computer at the time, I got in Contact with former WWE Women's Champion Leilani Kai which was a one e-mail type deal that ended us being extremely good friends. She was nothing like the character you saw on TV... She was a complete opposite from the person we saw in the 80's & 90s damaging her opponents. At the time when the World wide web was getting big, there were thousands and thousands of wrestling websites but not enough Women of wrestling websites, something Leilani Kai always had heat about women not getting enough credit in wrestling. So with an idea of women wrestling I wanted to focus on that as my idea of building a website. and As I talked to Leilani Kai, I mentioned to do an interview with her as my first since she encouraged me to build a website. She agreed and the interview is still posted today... However I was very green in that department and the Interview was kinda bad and what I know now had i known back than, I would have gotten that interview to be a sucuss considering all the stories bad and good that Leilani Kai shared with me for almost 5 years.. However out of respect for Leilani Kai, I choose to keep what she shares about the wrestling Bizness to myself. Once I completed the Intrerview with Leilani Kai I saved it for 5 months as I was developing a Women of wrestling website which I called WOW..















So The Interview was December 2000, and The WOW Site didn't hit until May 1st 2001.... Although it only received 2 hits a day and very little was on the site... What was featured was the Fan's View, WWE,WCW, ECW Roster History, WWE Women's Championship history, where are they now?, Obituaries, Guest Book, Polls, and the Glory Interviews including Fantasia, Stacy Hunter, Valerie, Erotica DeVine, Infynity, Beth Phoenix, Brandi Richards, Tracy Brooks, Lexie Fyfe & Lady Vendetta.... Since that time, I remain only good friends with Lexie Fyfe and Beth Phoenix went on to become a WWE Diva and Valerie (now known as So Cal Val) and Tracy Brooks went on to become TNA Knock outs... So although back in the Day I was new to interviewing and web building, i knew what women I wanted to interview and although I feel my interviews back in those times could of been better, I am proud of what I accomplished and due to it I have interviewed Ladies that were new to the sport at the time become top TV Divas and Knock-outs years later and I got the honor of being the first to know there goals and watch them grow in this Sport.















Pretty Much all of 2001 and 2002, I kept the web site a low profile only working on it here and there as I was new to HTML Codes and etc. and not that I was embarrassed of my work but wanted the site to be professional as Professional as it can be and at the time it was far from it... it didn't even have a lay out. the first year of the site..















Come May 1st 2003, I believe was still a WOW Site at the time, The Unthinkable Happened and The First Lady of wrestling Miss Elizabeth Passed away... I have been a big fan of the Macho Man & Miss Elizabeth storyline for many years that later contuined into WCW and Since she is the First Lady Of wrestling, I decided to Pay Tribute to her on the Website with a Poem and a request to all her fans to sign the guest book honoring Miss Elizabeth. Even my good friend Leilani Kai jumped on to do the same since she has worked with her in both WWE and WCW. This was the turning point of the website with the hits.. Since i allowed the fans of Miss Elizabeth to talk freely of what they thought of Lex Luger since he was apart of the tragedy... That was when I met Renee better known to all of you as Nay Nay on the site. What was once us being E-mail Friends turned into good friends that ended her up being on the staff of Insane Wrestling. Although I wished we met under better circistances.. none to less I am happy i did as she has been a big asset to the site for many years.















In between May and June I decided to expand the web site to do both men and women and have sections for fans of both genders and decided to bring in interviews of local indy wrestlers....
Since the Tragedy and the amount of Hits I receive I decided to focus more and more on the site with me Landing my first Big interview since Leilani Kai, actually a trainee of Leilani Kai, Lolipop with the recommendation of Leilani Kai.. She was a TNA Dancer, Remember Back then TNA was in it's first year and was known as NWA-TNA and was not known or seen by many fans...But TNA was growing fast with the right people directing it to the right Path. Anyway's Lolopop agreed to do the interview and discuss the newly formed TNA, Leilani Kai, her goals and her feud with Tracy Brooks at the time.















In the same month of June, With the connection of a mutual friend I was able to land an interview with Percy Pringle better known to the world as former WWF Manager Paul Bearer who was released from the WWE at the time, This Interview was the turning point for me as an Interviewer. I remember how nervous I was and shocked I was able to land such a high profiled interview. again I was new to the behind the scenes of the site and web building and still learning how to be a better interviewer and learning HTML Codes. That I wished my Interview with Paul Bear was much better but still an Honor none to less and with that being said The Interview is still posted today...















This Interview led me to my next high profile interview with David Heath better known to the world as former WWE Star Gangrel. This was done in September 2003 and again I was so nervous and I really took my time in this interview as I really wanted it to be great for the site and it was... That would be one of my better interviews I have done for the site.















so between 2001 and the first half of 2003, The site was at it's lowest point in history of Insane Wrestling and with the help of Leilani Kai, the tribute of Miss Elizabeth, and Interviews with Lollipop, Percy Pringle and David Heath, The site gained a little more attention and due to this I focused more and more on Interviewing, learning the art of wrestling, html codes, and Layouts... as the Site led into it's 3rd year I consider it the biggest year as I met Eric Shea better known as Crazii Shea a Local Indy wrestler from Maryland, what was supposed to be a one time Interview deal led us to being best of friends that still goes on today... One of the best things about the web site is you meet many great people and due to it... I remained friends with Leilani Kai, Lexie Fyfe, Renee, and Eric Shea who all became a part of history of Insane Wrestling.















Once I do interviews normally that is it and The interviewee goes on with his/her career and I move on to the next project for the site, but I do cherish the friends I made after the interviews are made public such as Leilani Kai, Lexie Fyfe, and Eric Shea... with Eric Shea, he was a struggling worker that was proud of the site for asking him for an interview and with me as his new friend, we helped each other establish his career as well as the web site. Eric Shea was a Big supporter of the site for focusing on indy workers and as I was starting to focus on The mainstream stars, Eric was able to get me into focusing more and more of my time on the indy scene..















which went over well with the fans of different territories... So I split my time working with Eric on pushing Local Indy guys and gals while I also maintain a way to looking for more mainstream talent on the site as a way to gain media attention as well as a fan base that also will notice the local men and women featured on Insane Plan..















That was the start of Insane Wrestling and I went on to focus on Facts of wrestling, The Fallen Stars, More and More Interviews, Crazy Bookings, Film, Music, Christina Applegate, MMA, and much much more.... It def. help me understand how the world of wrestling works and due to it, it was one of my biggest highlights creating something I never thought I could do and almost giving up on it several times in the last 8 years as well..















Now that the 8th year has come I thought I would Discuss the latest with this special update...
I for one Never thought I could land interviews with Gorgeous George, Shelly Martinez, and Lauren Brooke esp. under one update, as well as Lacey Von Eric which was an interview that was suppose to be from last year that is never before seen on the site...















I got to do a phone interview with George which I got to admit I got star struck because I have always been a fan of Randy Savage my whole life and she is part of Randy Savage's legacy and she came into her own after they both parted ways and for her to take the time and discuss her time in the Biz, is a HUGH HONOR for me and a memory I will forever cherish.....















I also got the honor to Interview Jason Cage from Pittsburgh.. For the last few years I have tried to find ways to work with wrestlers from Pittsburgh and it never goes according to plan and when I hooked up with Jason it was a big deal for me simply because he from my hometown and that interview is a MUST SEE!!!!!















After the day I interviewed George Frankenstein, I attended Deaf Wrestlefest that included such legends as Missy Hyatt, Brutus Beefcake, Shane Douglas, Dominic DeNucci, J.J. Dillion, Virgle, and many more. here is the results

1) Jason Gory drew Justin Idol (10:00)

This was the perfect Match.. I have seen Jason Gory wrestle in IWC a couple times and I am never disappointed in any of his matches, I do see a bright future for him in TNA


2) Private Twinkie pinned Eric Xtasy w/Krystal Frost



another good match and I have always wanted to see Eric Xtasy wrestle due to his popularity in Pittsburgh and I finally got the chance at deaf wrestlefest, I am also a Big fan of Krystal Frost and have been watching her perform for PWX since 2006 and was glad I got another chance to see this indy diva prance around the ring.



3) Powerhouse Hughes pinned Bill Collier



Great Match... Powerhouse Hughes is a great wrestler and knows how to make the fans go rowdy!


4) Patrick Hayes over Bobby Shields & Super Hentai




I have seen Super Hentai in IWC and just like Jason Gory, I see a bright future for him in TNA, this was an awesome match!!





5) Kris Kash & Anthony Alexander won over Shawn Blanchard & Lou Martin w/Frank Durso



This was a real good match and was glad to finally see Shawn Blanchard wrestle in person, There Manager Frank Durso is up there in age and was able to jump in and do what he has to do... he most def. did a great job being hated at ringside




6) Tennessee Ernie Nord & Seymour Snott won over Devin Devine & Dash Bennett w/Stacy Hunter



This was another awesome Match, I have been watching Devin Devine, Dash Bennett, & Stacy Hunter since 2006 in PWX and they never ever disappoint me as a fan... very good match






7) Brutus the Barber Beefcake over King Kaluha-disq. w/Stacy Hunter (Stacy got her hair cut!)



I was waiting for this match and got the honor to shake Brutus The Barber Beefcake hand at ringside, and talked to him for a quick sec. at his merchandise table... what's so cool about this Match was that Brutus came out in his old WWF gimmick and attire and even brought his shears with him.. a gimmick I haven't seen him do since he left the WWE back in 1993, another cool thing about this match was I talked to King Kaluha a couple years ago and was glad to see him come back to wrestle Beefcake and he was entertaining watching him on the Mic.... and last but not least Stacy Hunter a veteran in pro wrestling Pittsburgh was a big asset to the match and was glad to see her work with big names such as Kaluha and Beefcake as I think she deserves it.

Stacy Hunter got a haircut after the match which got a HUGH POP from the crowd



8) The Gambinos (Marshall & Mickey) w/Vicki Gambino won over

The Wrong Crowd (Brian Anthony & Paul Atlas) w/Curtis N. Stevenson



I was esp. happy to see Vicki Gambino, I spoke to her before the match and she is really nice and beautiful and sitting at ringside, I watched her cheer for her team and I swear she sprained her wrist at ringside, the match ended when Vicki interfered... great match




9) Dominic DeNucci & Dr. Cody Michaels & Shane Douglas w/Missy Hyatt
won over
J.J. Dillon & Beef Stew Lou Marconi & Handsome Frank Staletto
w/Count Grog



What I thought was the Main event wasn't which I am kinda glad it was earlier because I was waiting for this match for so many reasons, One I talked to Missy Hyatt for like a half an hour before the match and about 15 minutes after the match, She is so very very nice and one of the reasons I had to attend was to meet Missy Hyatt... She shared stories about the Nasty Boys, World Class, The Von Eric's, her up coming projects and so much more... she truly is a ledged in wrestling,....and me sitting at ringside I was able to see up close and personal the work Missy Hyatt does that I have seen do for so many years between WCW & ECW... She even smiled and winked at me while she was at ringside during the match



another reason was to see Shane Douglas, he pretty much came to the show right before the match and left right after the match, I never even got the chance to meet him... however he brought his little son who was about 3 or 4 years old to ringside and gave him to one of the fans sitting next to me holding him during the match so I was able to sit with his son and see Shane calling out to him while he was on the ring apron lol


Than there was Dominic DeNucci, a Famous Pittsburgh Wrestler that ended up in the WWE in the 60s and 70s, I never saw him wrestle and only know stories from my aunt who was a Big fan of his when she was a teenager and told me her many encounters of meeting him during the old territories

he has to be in his 70s but still was able to run the ropes!!
and also what headlined the event was JJ Dillion's return to the ring since 1989, which he was not much involved until the end when he tried to choke out Shane Douglas and he ended up getting pinned... after the match they shoved Dillion face into Missy Hyatt ass, which was her only involvement in the entire match




10) J.T. Hogg won Battle Royal!





I don't even know where to begin... there were tons of wrestlers everywhere that ended up J.T Hogg winning the match... he is very good wrestler!





11) Sara Brooks & Hailey Hatred won over
Morgan Rockefellor & Brittany Force w/Stacy Hunter




Great Match.. I do see a future for all these ladies to make it to the WWE or TNA, all great esp. Hailey Hatred, she is such a great wrestler and I had the honor of meeting all of them





12) C.J. Sensation won over Jimmy DeMarco & Apollyon




Another great match esp. seeing Jimmy DeMarco, he was really good

13) Sheriff Steele w/Mayor Mystery pinned Seth James



I was actually interested in Mayor Mystery, he really was a mystery



14) Leviathan pinned Wraith w/Johnny Demonic



Great Match and really was a battle of the giants




15) Dennis Gregory pinned Crusher Hansen w/B.C. Steele



From what I seen, this was a good match but I left the show in the middle of the match

16) Dynamite Dean pinned Bubba the Bulldog w/Aaron Lester



I left before this match took place

INSANE, INSANE, & INSANE

Hi, I first want to apologize for the extreme lack of updates on the web site which I wanted to write this thoughts of insanity column in place of my views and thoughts on wrestling and explain myself why I was MIA.....

This has been a hectic year for insane Johnny as I lost my Grandmother and Uncle (her son) not too far apart from each other and That I had major dental Surgery that was also a factor in my time to update the web site on a regular basisBut due to the dental surgery.. My life took a turn for the better and also for the worse as.... I realized it was time to be happy in my life after Surgery as I felt confident to go out and live a night life and have fun with a bunch of new friends and enjoy what little life I had left in me as it came at me.. of course I also risked a lot in the same sense as my personal life with my girlfriend, older friends and family went down hill. Not to detail the personal issue but lets just say that I will not be spending the holidays with the family this year.and on top of it, my computer is not working the way it should be and I have also picked up a lot of hours working at my job 6 days a week and over time that also keeps me MIA.

I know, your all thinking this is nothing but excuses and there is no reason I shouldn't make time for the web site and for all you fans that expect it to be updated all the time..

The thing of it is... what a lot of wrestling and non wrestling fans don't understand that I have been working on this web site for 8 years straight around the clock... If I did not have any work to go off of on the web site... I was gathering ideas for it... if not that I was promoting it, and if not that I was proof reading the whole web siteand if not that I was discussing it with the staff... This web site was my life since 2001 and I consider this my greatest accomplishment in my life as I have experienced more just doing this web site than an Indy worker wrestling.... there has been ups and downs and I wouldn't change it for the world.. Due to this web site, I got to go to indy shows as a reporter, I got a volunteer staff, I was able to interview Beth Phoenix (WWE Women's champion) her very first year in wrestling..I was able to investigate the death of Miss Elizabeth & the mystry of Sweet Georga Brown, I was able to interview the likes of Paul Bearer, Gangrel, Jacquelyn, and many more. The website was mention on Trash Talking Radio and I have met and stayed friends with MANY MANY MANY wonderful people due to this website

I was even offered spots on shows, and took a hand in booking wrestlers on shows as well as writing storyline scripts to help promoters seeking my thoughts... so for me to easily give up this web site is not possible as I do have a responsibility to maintain what I have worked so hard for the last 8 years....

I however will make an announcement that I will be retiring the web site after 10 years and possibly only maintain the pages with the most hits such as interviews, Dr. Wrestling column, Pandora Brew, tributes and etc. I have two years to think about it but just a warning that you should expect it if I come to that decision.

but on a more positive note.... I do want to Thank Nay Nay and Dr. Wrestling for still being loyal after months of not updating the site by sending me there work non stop.. and Honestly I do save everything I get..

So.. here is my Current Plan for the web site.... As you can see. I am way behind on the Wrestling recaps by Nay Nay and Dr. Wrestling Columns and also Will be debuting a new Column by Mat called stone cold Thoughts...

I will also will be posting In the vault hosted by Dr. wrestling and will start a section on MMA fighting by Dr. Wrestling as well...

I am also contacting for new booking clients as well as new fresh interviews. and will be updating the minor pages as well.

so stay tune for new fresh updates coming your way.

Thank you for all your support and loyalty to the web site

OLD IS BETTER!

I thought I Would discuss the wrestling product of the past and why I think it should be revive in today's wrestling world.
for starters WWE Sky rocket in the biz from the 80s and 90s and has come a long way from what it is today... but there were SEVERAL mistakes WWE Did along the way that I think should be Pointed out....
The competition, In the 1990s was the best time to be a wrestling fan..... You had the Monday night wars and ECW and local indys on the weekends...... It was pretty much wrestling on TV Every night depending on what company you watch on that day. in 2001 Vince McMahon bought out the competition and all that time to watch wrestling and a variety of your favorite stars were cut.
WCW and ECW might not have been as good as the WWE in a lot of ways but they were original with there products esp. ECW!! TNA however is the only company that has decided to give WWE a run for it's money and in a lot of ways has been successful with the TV Deal, signing over former WWE Stars, drafting high flying talent from ROH, building up the TNA Women's division and I am sure a lot more stuff down the road. Back when I was growing up.... You saw three companies go all out for the ratings, the stars, the attention and so much more.
Wrestling has pretty much died down a lot since the Death of WCW & ECW and the hugh mess of the benoit family tragdy and needs a lot of improvements....
here is a few things I would like to see back and improved.
1) Competition..... TNA is a very STRONG START and has brought great pride to there product... but we need to see a 3rd, wheatear it is a hard-core company or ROH or even if Ted Turner gives it another shot at opening up a company. We need to see a variety of wrestling out there and a variety of jobs for indys who want to move up in there careers.
2) Storylines... although there are a few storylines through out the years. We need to see a lot of good acting and interesting storylines to bring in the fans to watch... I give Stephanie McMahon credit for taking part in a lot of storylines WWE has done over the years and is responsible in most of the storylines that happen..
3) Gimmicks.... TNA has done good with there gimmick ideas and WWE has some good ones on there roster but we need to see a little more entertainment. and more creative ideas,, not relived gimmicks from the past.
4) Managers.... one of the things that drew me to wrestling as a kid was the managers, They were entertaining, they knew there place and how to get the job done and more importantly they made there stars look good when they came out... now days if I am not mistaken between WWE & TNA there are two male managers. one in each company. I think they should bring in a few more to help the younger talent get a push further in there career...
5) Women......I am a little impressed with the WWE & more so with TNA Women's division, however not with the women that enter a contest and than are called wrestlers..... I believe in the female part of the biz, that a wrestler is a woman that can run the ropes and take a bunch of bumps, and valets are women who make the men look good and get involved if they have to... and in the WWE, a lot of those women can be the perfect valets not wrestlers.
6) Former Stars....... TNA is pretty good at giving former stars a sec. run in the biz, but I would like to see more of former stars work full time in the WWE..... it would be nice to see Hulk Hogan, Macho Man, X-Pac, Scott Hall, Chyna, Steve Austin, The Rock, Sable, sunny, or even Luna Vachon and Gangrel come back for one last run, I am sure a lot of there fans would love to see it!
7) Hardcore....... Hard-core has a very big place in wrestling and in the WWE it doesn't even exist like it use to... Wrestlers took pride in putting there bodies on the line to give the fans there money's worth and ECW is responsible in bringing Hard-core to wrestling and with WWE reviving ECW as it's own brand, do we see hard-core hitting matches every Tuesday night like we did on Fridays and Saturdays when the REAL ECW had hard-core matches? it's almost a joke WWE brought back ECW because it is no different than what we see on Raw and smack-down, only it's an hour long and newer wrestlers... how many of the original ECW Stars even work in WWE now days?
So there you have it... I believe with changes to the current wrestling product, it could be as good as it was in the 80s and 90s.... But don't get me wrong.. I like new and fresh ideas to the product but at the same time i think they have a better chance by going what got them famous and that was The stars, the fans, the media attention and so much more...

Thoughts on 7 Years!!

Just a quick history of the big update once a year... After 5 Years was when I wanted just to do the 5th year annual as an honor for a free website to stay on the net as long as it did... and had no intention of making this a big thing every year as I would have every 5 years...

However, I saw the Hugh success on the 5th year anniversary when it came down to the amount of Hits that one day I posted everything from the insane past and new features...

I believe it also was the revival of the Miss Elizabeth Tribute which stars like former WCW Diva Daffney and WWE Star Lanny Poffo took part in honor of her life and tons of quotes from indy stars I first Interviewed, feedback, and columns in honor of the website

So a year has gone by from that point (last year) and was talking to Nay Nay about doing a 6 year annual update and if I should go for it... As Nay Nay always does is tell me to go for it.. and I did ... and it was even bigger than the 5th year update from the year before when it came down to the amount of hits...

That was also the year I got an Interview with Julie Hart and became good friends with her, Pandora Brew returned with a hard-core photo shoot, Nay Nay's journey to Miss Elizabeth's finial resting place, & Coffeenole's beautiful artwork which still stands on the main page, However, I was a little disappointed that I could not get any quotes for the website expect two from Amanda Violet which was my 2nd Interview I ever did at the start of Insane Plan and Crazii Shea who has been a big part of insane plan and also any quotes in honor of Miss Elizabeth as well....

but all the other updates for the annual update made up for it all as it was bigger than the 5th year... so Seeing the facts of the 6th year anniversary made me decide this will be a yearly event on The insane empire.A lot of great things That happen this years update. Interviews! I never interviewed so many under one update before and what better way to interview the list of stars that I did. First, TNA Knock-out So Cal Val and a quick fact about her is that The Website Interviewed her at the very start of her career back in 2002 even before TNA was ever a thought in the biz. And She was kind enough to return to the website for a new interview. Than you got Pierre The Beast Vachon from the famous Vachon wrestling dynasty and was nice enough to take part in this annual update. As far as Pierre Vachon goes, I learned in my own interview that he was a son of the icon Paul "Butcher" Vachon who I also Interviewed a few years back which is cool to have for the website. I got to also Interview former XPW, TNA, & WSX star GQ Money which is a must read interview and also an honor to have part of the website.I also was able to get the chance to interview Hyjinix and Meatball which is the first for the website and awesome to have part of it. However Crazy Bookings was hard to keep updated as I only was able to gather two to join the page such as D.J. Pringle and Eric Cooper.Than of course you got the Pages That never gets updated such as Pro Wrestling Mail Bag, facts, & Obituaries all set and ready for the fans looking for information with the research found for those pages.The Tributes were a big thing this year as I set up a poll and the winner would be the next tribute spot and that was Mr. Perfect which I have always been a fan of his since the late 80s. So next to Miss Elizabeth and Sensational Sherri, Mr. Perfect joins the two to be honor by the website.The Tributes I must say were a lot of work this year and I had to start early in order to keep up on everything else and not get set back due to it. New pictures for the three tributes, fan tributes, polls, and Timelines. However I will work on Mr. Perfect timeline later this year.This was also Tough to continue all the work as I have had to deal with personal Issues away from wrestling that set me back a lot during this project and a lot of incomplete work for the website as well. As schedule I had several more interviews planned but haven't got any back in time for May 1st but never too late to post them at a later time for the website....Of course Pandora Brew was announced for a Pandora shoot but has been post pond until the summer of 2008, and I planned a trip to Kentucky with Nay Nay and Chrissy which I canceled due to a family emergency.So a lot of UP's and down's in order to get things done by the deadline..

I also would like to Thank a list of Names who has helped with this project as well as the website history, Nay Nay, She has been working for the website since 2004 starting off as a staff mod. Than taking on the job as a TV/PPV Results reporter a year after that and has contributed a lot of her time to the Miss Elizabeth & Sensational Sherri tributes featured on the site. She has stuck by me when I was the most hated person on my own board after one opinion I stated and she was on point in backing me up... I most def. have to thank her for what she has done for this 7 year annual project as she kept up on the In the corner with Nay Nay results that links the board with the website's page. and contributed a lot of missing info, pictures, and columns to the tributes featured on the site. And the most toughest challenging job she did during this time was keeping me sane... THANK YOU!!! LOVE YOU NAY NAY

Next, I have to Thank ALEX!! She has been working for the site since the fall of 2006 as Pandora Brew. She has full control of the Insane Sex Kitten gimmick and does much more for the site than the fans see... She does a lot of promotional work for the site, has helped the website form a working relationship with slam all star wrestling (saw), slut puppy and has helped most of the SAW Roster gain interviews with the website... She truly is what keeps the website INSANE when each and every time Pandora Brew puts on that black wig!! Although Plans for Pandora Brew was post pond until the summer, She next to Nay Nay has took on a tough job for this 7 annual update project by Keeping me SANE!! Thank you Alex, love ya lover girl!!

Coffeenole, he has been working for the website since 2005 as a Staff mod. and the backbone of the Insane board... For this big annual update, he added and changed the board for the better and has worked so hard to keep the board INSANE... as well as me SANE as... THANK YOU COFFEE FOR EVERYTHING YOU HAVE DONE FOR THE WEBSITE!! the board would be nothing without you!! it's a real honor a million times one that you are on the INSANE TEAM!!

Crazii Shea, GOTTA THANK MY BRO!!! He has been apart of the website pretty much since the start of the site and the site has been apart of him since his start of his wrestling career and we just grew from there and still keep up on each other.. He has been a real friend to me and has been there for me and has helped pick the website up when it had bad days to a point I almost retired everything I worked for to keep up on the site.... I love you bro and thanks for keeping the website INSANE!!!Dr. Wrestling has been apart of the website since 2005, writing columns faithfully and kept them as real as they come and did not beat around the bush on how he felt about the standers of today's wrestling.. Thank you Doctor for all you have done for the website... A real honor to have a Doctor of wrestling on the team!!I have to thank everyone who took the time to be interviewed, Sol Cal Val, Thank you for returning to the website after nearly 6 years since your first interview with the site...Thank you goes to Meatball, Hyjinik, GQ Status and Pierre Vachon... Thank you for bringing it to the table for the fans to read how much you work hard in this Biz. Thank you goes to Eric Cooper & DJ. Pringle for becoming crazy booking clients!!

And most importantly I have to thank the wrestling fans who keep the website INSANE and the staff working all the time to bring you the best a pro wrestling website has to offer!!

Thoughts of Insaniry

Welcome to the First column of Thoughts of Insanity, Even though I have been missing in action on the Internet due to problems with my computer as well as personal issues within my life, I have however kept up on WWE & TNA on TV and I am not sure about the rumors and the gossip that goes on around the Internet at this time. Thoughts of Insanity is supposed to be a column that speaks harsh reality of my opinions only within the crazy world of professional wrestling and the Insane updates within the Website itself. Way before my Computer Crashed, The debut column was in the works and I could not find the appropriate time to post my first column due to the Benoit Family Tragedy as I wanted to stay clear from the situation until all the facts are on the table.



It's been almost three months since the Benoit Tragedy and I can safely say that I can throw in my opinions as to what I think of Chris Benoit, Nancy Benoit & there little boy Daniel Benoit.



Growing up watching wrestling the way I did, I believe Stephanie McMahon said it best, you connect with the character and persona you see on TV growing up and with Chris Benoit, I did.

So when the news first broke out that Chris Benoit and his Family was found dead in there Georgia Home, I immediately thought of an attacker that committed murder to all three of them! I would have never thought in a million years after 10 years of Watching Chris Benoit that he could be capable of such a horrific act.



However as Millions around the world including me were shocked and proven wrong that he did what the media said he did and even after that I still tried to find ways around what would come out as the truth that still stands today.



I feel no pity towards him as a Man, a wrestler, and a Person. There is no excuse to his crime and the way I look at it is that, If your that dam depressed and wanted to die that dam bad, than FINE DO IT!! But don't take your family with you!! Nancy Benoit side of the family, the two older Benoit kids and Chris's side of the family as well as Million of Fans of both Chris & Nancy Benoit better known as Woman in her wrestling days have all suffer a big lost to Nancy Benoit and the thought of Daniel Benoit and the memories we all cherish during the WCW days have all been damaged due to the situation....



Nothing good came out of the situation but one thing I was glad to see over was that Vince Mcmahon Limo explosion angle... I mean, the cars blowing up everyday in Iraq wasn't good enough to not go forward with the storyline, the real death of Sensational Sherri a former employee of Vince Mcmahon wasn't good enough to end the storyline. It takes a current employee and his family to die to make Vince McMahon realize that a Fake death storyline isn't so funny any more.

What's wrong with this picture? I am starting to question the wrestling world as the worst form of entertainment than Rock N Roll when it comes to sex, drugs and politics. Just a year ago The WWE started the Wellness policy to assure that what happen to Eddy Guerrero won't happen to anyone else in wrestling and than all of a sudden The death rate in wrestling is more higher this year than any other year in history and one died the worse way just within this year so far.



As far as Vince McMahon is concern he has lost a lot of fans for the WWE due to the drugs that was caused in wrestling that harms all of our favorite superstars past and present. I am not Blaming Vince McMahon for the death of Benoit and his family as if drugs or roid rage was a factor in this case than that was done by Chris's choice and no one else but lets face facts here, if it wasn't for Vince McMahon there would be no Hulk Hogan, Macho Man, The Undertaker, Shawn Michales, Ric Flair, and the wrestling industry itself. He had a vision and turned it into an empire that we have seen grow through the years. Which means due to the tragedy of all the unexpected deaths in wrestling, Vince McMahon has to act fast in order to keep the WWE on top of it's game or if not than if were lucky TNA would be our only choice for wrestling TV.



I strongly believe that in order for Vince Mcmahon to make WWE stronger and over come the politics and media, he should bring back stars that have made an impact on the WWE such as the rock, Steve Austin, and anybody from the attitude era. and come up with a better storyline than the search for his bastard son.



Because we all know if Vince Mcmahon finds his son, he will be his manager for a month and then by Fall the story won't even exist.



Anyhow that is my INSANE thoughts of Chris Benoit, Vince Mcmahon, and the latest deaths and storylines.... Hopefully by next column it will circulate my opinions on rumors and other storylines within the WWE and TNA.



Thank you Insane Fans for reading the thoughts of Insanity and as always keep getting INSANE!!!!
