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 TNA2) 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 matchanother 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
