I can’t believe it’s been 10 years since the Publication of Insane Plan hit the World Wide Web…
Believe it or not, 2001 is not my first year In professional Wrestling… actually 1998 is when I use to work for a newsletter that was mailed out to subscribers Monthly way before the Internet became the hottest thing since Sliced Bread..
I debuted in the Newsletter with my first Article Jump In the Time Warp with John Mikels recapping WWF history PPV’s with King of the Ring 1998 being my first Recap since I was present live at the Pay Per View just months before accepting this offer. I wrote a different recap Monthly for about a year and a half maybe less than that until Owen Hart Passed away at a Pay Per View in May of 1999 and I believe the newsletter continued a month or so after and than closed down. I still have every copy of the newsletter till this day… well Once the year 1999 was about to come to an end as well, I met former WWF Women’s Champion Leilani Kai who at this time was working for WCW and as a simple fan of hers during the rock n wrestling era. I expected it to be a one time deal, requested an autograph which she did and I still have the autograph till this day and we became instant friends after that… After the year 2000.… WWF at this point was making a mockery out of Fabulous Moolah and Mae Young and The big Three WWF, WCW, & ECW was paying more attention to the ladies as sex symbols and not athletes and Once the internet became a Big hit, all the popular Websites were paying tribute to sex in wrestling and not there talents… Leilani very upset at the change in the wrestling product and truly believes in old school wrestling was venting to me how she felt about it..
I simply responded by saying if I knew how to make a website, I wouldn’t do that at all… She than made a deal with me if I learned how she would grant me an online interview which she rarely does….
The Interview was done December of 2000 but didn’t get published until May of 2001 the debut of Insane Plan making her my first Major update!
Since Than… Insane Plan has interviewed literally thousands of personalities, indy stars, legends, big names, and Promoters. Insane Plan has also worked on many projects in raising money for charities, such as Autism awareness, Breast Cancer Research, Children’s charities. Insane Plan also took a turn in helping Book tons of indy stars and also have done Live event reports and partners with the top indy feds in Pennsylvania, Delaware, West Virginia, Vermont, Baltimore & New York and even the Man with the Plan has done work behind the scenes, ring announced, run in’s and connected with my own small fan base.. Insane Plan has guest on Trash Talking Radio and mentioned on In Your Face wrestling and First State Championship wrestling Dvd’s…
All that and more in the last 10 years of working for the sport I never thought I would work for.. Growing up my dream was to be a professional wrestler and in my heart I knew I could never accomplish that dream due to personal issues that stood in my way and every chance I would mention this dream… it got crushed by my peers every time.. So I just gave up and never really did anything to work for it, however I would still never stop being a fan and if it wasn’t for Leilani kai who influenced me into building Insane Plan, I would never expected the opportunities I have gotten over the years in this business.
The Number one opportunity I got was the fans and friends I made over the years… If it wasn’t for Insane Plan I would not have ever met the fans, staff, and workers who all became my friends in the course of the 10 years… It’s because of them is why I am still working in wrestling and I cherish every Feedback weather it was negative or positive, opinions, suggestions, and ideas that help Insane Plan and myself to be what we are today. The People is what makes my plan INSANE!
With that being said, In all my years doing what I love to do best… and could go on and on with many highlights I have had in this business but my ultimate highlight is reaching ten years.. It truly is an honor to be serving all of you the very best in pro wrestling and I wouldn’t have it any other way.. This truly is an accomplishment in my professional life in wrestling and I thank all of you for keeping me more Insane now than I was when I started in 2001..
