12:15 pm	heat, drama, bullshit....buisness as usual well folks i forgot all about this journal gimmick but i figured it was time for an update. so lets see what the latest news is......we'll start with the fact that i picked up my first belt as i won the xmcw tag titles with partner and fellow ryda juggulator in what i consider the most fun i've had in the ring during my career as i took part in a 3 ring 12 man ladder match for all of the xmcw titles. the match was absolutely a thing of beauty. in what was destine 2 be a clusterfuck it turned out flawless. i'm really starting 2 feel at home when i work for xmcw they are 1 of the best promotions 2 work for and i truly love being there. next subject should probably be my return 2 NWA tristate.......i'm not gonna go into 2 much details as everyone probably assumes i am a contradicting asshole. i assure you the asshole part is right however my reasons for leaving were legitimate and i had good reason for going back. next......as everyone already knows fellow ryda flash fury was rushed into brain surgery after an incedent. all i will say is thankfully flash is feeling much better and when i last spoke 2 him is back 2 his witty comical self. now lastly i will say lately the drama has been flooding my world both in and outta the world of wrestling. all i can say is fuck the drama and if you got drama take it somewhere else i ain't got time for it.

10:32 pm	mind games sickness and 4 way scrambles well i figured i would do a quick update even though i'm not really up to the job. i've been deathly sick and had alot of personal shit going on lately thats been taking alot of strength out of me. however the professional end seems to be going ok. at the MADMAR show i worked a 3 way elimination with josh prohibition and mdogg20 and went over in what was originally suppose to be for the new title. i very much enjoyed working with matt and josh they are both super great guys both professionally and personally. as far as my opinion of the show well i'm not gonna post that but all i can say is i was far from happy with the people involved, the situations at hand and the lack of loyalty from certain people. after the MADMAR show the next thing on my list was a 4 way scramble with the E3 for XMCW. the match itself along with the rydas angle came off beautiful however a few things had me truly disappointed and quite honestly pretty pissed off.it had nothing to do with XMCW because i truly enjoyed working there. it had more to do with things outside of the promotion and the locker room.those involved know what i'm talking about. however i can say nothing but good things about XMCW and their locker room i had alot of fun there and was impressed with the entire promotion. plus it was a blast having all da rydas in 1 locker room(possibly for the last time). it was a very emotional time for everyone involved and the end of the show with all 5 of us in the ring as a family will be something i will always remember and something i feel truly blessed to be a part of. for those of you that know me well enough that you know my family situation you know that i've never truly felt like i was a part of a family and now i truly feel da rydas are my family no matter what. well thats all i got the strength to talk about for now i'll do another update sometime soon.

5:39 pm	Well all good things come to an end and so do SHITTY things its over and done with finally. I have officially parted ways with NWA tristate and all the bullshit that went with it. it was just finally to much to take. i appreciate everything that.........actually no i fucking don't. i got nothing but fucking bullshit and heat there. although i will miss the locker room thats the only fucking thing i'll miss. the games, the pointing of the (fat)fingers, being taken advantage of and treated like i was below everyone else, etc, etc, mutha FUCKIN etc. now i'm gonna be a man about this and tell everyone that said i should get outta there, that it was a waste of time and talent they were right and i was wrong for not taking their advice sooner.unfortunately there is alot of talent in the locker room and none of it is used the way it should be. MOST of the talent in the tristate locker room could main event any independent show without a problem if used and pushed the right way unfortunately when you have a promoter who is more concerned with where his twinkies are opposed to what is going on with his show your bound for disaster. but its over and done with now and i'm not gonna let this minor set back stop me from continuing to do what i love. i've got the biggest match of my career coming up this saturday and i've now gone into a zone to focus on it and away from all this bullshit.

3:25 am	and the fun keeps on coming(sarcasim) ya so how about the fact that the wrestling business truly sucks. josh prohibition layed out the way i feel in one simple saying "bell rings i love the business bell rings a second time i'm back to hating it" that is truly how i'm feeling now. pretty much it comes down to political bull-shit and mother fuckers who you think have your back but when shit goes down they pussy out. i really would love to just be able to quit and be done with it all and lately i've been considering it but thats neither here nor there. however if things don't change by the end of august there will be major changes made on my end of the situation and many of you know what i'm talking about. but enough about that lets run down a list of pros and cons from the weekend pros - got to meet and train with my new hero chase stevens and bullshit with him till 7:30 in the morning - the whole hotel deal was a blast without going into the details but it was a fucking blast. just wish i would of broke out the video camera although i'm not sure i was in any condition to run it. - got to chill with my fellow rydas the only true family i got. they are the only ones i trust in this business. - AMW and the naturals were all cool as hell and alot of fun to talk to. - got to break out some new moves and got to debut da rydas in tristate when me and juggz challenged for the tag straps cons -BULLSHIT POLITICS -COCKSUCKING HATERS -2 FACED BITCHES -CANCELLATIONS FUCK DA HATERS Current Mood: drunk Current Music: ABK dirty history (1 Comment |Comment on this)

3:32 am	they love that flippy stuff NEPW was this weekend. myself and the E3 headed out to DR.FEELGOODS bar for the show and after being slightly lost 30 minutes and a hey ASSHOLES later we found the spot were the show was. we ended up working a tag match that was myself and Zack Practor working aaron draven and wicked.in what was originally given 6 minutes we went 16 minutes with the crowd eating up every minute of it. wicked got pretty ruffed up during the match but it still turned out beautiful. it ended in wicked and aaron hitting a double shining wizard for a double pin. overall the trip was cool and i got to chill with all the boys i haven't seen in awhile. by the way honkey tonk man was cool as hell except i don't think he knows he's not IC champ anymore. lol. the juggulator also came up for the show which was awesome to see my big brother in da rydas at NEPW. we went back to NEPW on sunday although we weren't booked. we went just to chill with juggs and check out the show. it was kinda nice to be on the other side for once but i was really craving to be in the ring. basically the show went like this 1) we love dick 2)chris hamerick killed aaron andrews 3) who needs kayfabe? 4)julio dinero is my new hero i got a whole hell of alot of bookings coming up in august so i'm really enjoying the peace and quiet and time with the girl before all the chaos of the great world we call indy wrestling starts back up.

3:04 pm	joining a family ok i know what your thinking. 2 back 2 back updates?!?!? well i usually wouldn't do this but this is important. last night after a long conversation with trik nasty and the juggulator i was excepted into not only a kliq but a family. the ryda family. unfortunately i didn't save the conversation like i had planned however what it came down to was they had accepted me and just kept ribbing me and stringing me along knowing how bad i wanted in. but i guess i had all the right answers cause in the end i became the newest member of the ryda family and i'm proud to be a ryda. on a side note: NWA TNA is gonna be the top company sooner than you think. every week there shows get better and the product gets more impressive.

5:22 pm	how much heat can u get in 1 week? that seemed to be the question of the week. those of you that were there know what went down and those of you that weren't gotta ask me yourself. anyway i hit up the NWA tristate tour this week and including the match we taped to send to CZW and battle royals i worked 9 times. so as you can imagine i was a little worn out when i got back. most of the matches were decent but as i said if you wanna know the true story i'll tell you personally. away from the actual shows the trip was pretty fun. i spent most of the time hanging out with either fellow young gunz members or the rydas who had my back more than anybody else this week. by the way the rydas are a blast to party with but if you see juggulator setting up for a cross body off the bed don't antagonize him. he will do it lol. we had an extreme drunk fatal four way in a motel room that only by a blessing from god did we not get kicked out. and some help from juggs charm. lol. all and all it was pretty fun although alot of political bullshit went down i feel closer with most of the locker room then i ever did before. however when the heat is on you really learn who your boys are who is ready to RYDE and who gives in and sells you out.

1:53 am	how far would he go would he like....hit us? lol back from the craziest and most memorable road trip in history. it was myself, aaron draven, wicked, zack practor and of course our ring leader rocky reynolds with his always irritating wife. without going into to many details i'll run down some of the highlights of the trip to the first show. wicked(who truly lives his gimmick) peeing in a garbage can has to be the first thing that comes to mind. not to mention the gayest headlock in the history of pro-wrestling in the middle of a gas station parking lot. wicked making zack nervous as fuck with his balls to the wall driving. of course wicked made the whole trip what it was. he is just fucking hilarious. he had some of the funniest quotes in the world. well anyway we'll fast forward cause i'm sure i have forgot more then what i remember but trust me it was a blast. although i was told i was working aaron draven and we had an awesome match planned out i ended up working rocky reynolds in the main event wit rocky of course going over in a half way decent match. we then headed off to dinner where we once again prove when the madmar family is around no retard is safe. yes that means the ribs were a-roll-ing. the highlight of dinner was of course wicked once again. this time he made a newspaper rain coat(which later i decided to get wicked to help me use that paper to cover zack's car cause it was raining and it stuck all over his car. it was hysterical). we then headed to vance desmond's girlfriends house for the night were wicked refused to let anyone sleep without asking as many dumb questions as possible. by the way he also tried to look at my penis while he was brushing his teeth.lol. the next day myself vance and rocky went to the gym while the girls and the E3 went to the mall and we all met up at the second night of nwa tristate action. this time to my delightful surprise i end up tagging with tristate x champ JD escalade to work max power and tristate champ trik nasty in a #1 contender match for the tag straps. me and JD did the JOB in what i call my all time favorite and best match. the guys took good care of me and i really enjoyed myself. after the show we went to the......SURPRISE the mountaineer for the 565th time in history. a pepper attack, pink taco announcement, flying butter and a group photo later our epic trip came to an end. until next time..........u guys need to get a life all u talk about is wrestling Current Mood: chipper (2 Comments |Comment on this)

5:43 pm	another show over another weekend as FACE??!!? well this weekend was the tristate show and to my surprise for the second weekend in a row i worked face!?! it seems every time i have some great heel spots worked out i end up working face. o well. it ended up being me and mister x working shane storm and another guy who i never caught his name. we worked a comedy match with storm and his partner working a gay gimmick but we had alot of highspots thrown.the finish was i walked out after being kissed by one of the gay guys and left x to take the fall after a money in the bank finisher. i was happy with the match and everyone in the back complimented us about how crisp everything looked and how entertained they were. the crowd popped for everything so i was real happy. and i even got over as a face. the trip all around was pretty fun too. we just bullshitted about all kinds of illegal acts we used to do.lol. by the way zack practor learned why u never fall asleep on a road trip. the rib was beautiful. zack had this shirt air brushed with his logo and shit on it. he was so proud of this shirt. he had spilled a few drops of gatorade on his white shirt and flipped about it. so when he fell a sleep little by little we dripped fruit punch on it. by the time we got home his whole shirt was covered in fruit punch.lol. it was great. he was still asleep when they dropped me off so i don't know how he reacted but i bet he was pissed. well that all i got for now. NEPW is on the 8th then i'm gonna try to get on xmcw for the 22nd. by the way since everyone seems to have a kliq me and vance desmond decided to form our own kliq. unfortunately we haven't even been able to think of a name yet so if u got any ideas let us know.

11:02 pm	wow now that was interesting well here we go with another update. the union show was today and without getting into details i now know what its like when the worst case scenario happens.with that being said the show was fun regardless of all the bullshit. i ended up going over on zach practor in a decent match with a few minor fuck ups. and all though i had to deal with the entire locker room hitting on my girl including that colorblind bastard bruce(lol) it was a good time. the highlight had to be when they duck taped al b to the chair and sent him out after a match. although what was more disturbing was the original plan was to send him out without pants until it was revealed in a rather unpleasant manner that al b was wearing some sort of fetish leather underwear. the vision will scar me for life. ewww getting off that subject it was cool to catch up with all the guys i haven't seen in awhile. i also learned some new chain compliments to carlton. well i think i'm gonna call it a night. the only dates i have right now that i know of is tristate saturday NEPW on june 5th and the madmar show in august on the 21st although i will probably show up at NEPW on the 8th just in case(no not the mullet). until the next chapter...................?

12:18 am	well i don't want to feel left out well i've taken notice that everyone seems to have a live journal and since my website is being re-designed i decided to get one as well to have a place for my commentary. now although this isn't indy messageboard i still feel like this is my place to bitch. so first things first whats a guy gotta do to get booked around here. it seems everytime i get booked the show turns into as kaz would say an abortion. first it was the union/madmar show in t-ville that i was really pumped to work. it being my hometown and the place i got the most heat.i was really looking forward to this one.............CANCELLED. the next booking i had on my (very short) list was for NEPW and its already cancelled. however i did work for NWA tristate at their last show and had what i thought was one of my best matches with Omega aaron draven. but besides tristate(who doesn't run that often) i got no bookings what so ever. i've been in contact with a few promotions however nobody has really gotten back to me. i mean seriously what does it take to get booked anymore? i really want to know cause i'm not doing something right. well enough of that. i must say that things have been better as of late. i've been very happy with my last couple of matches, well with exception to my dismanteling by jabari and ddk. which i will state i voulenteered for everything i took in that match,except the back chop(damn you jabari). but anyway i feel i've been improving in the ring greatly and i'm ready for a few more bookings. we'll have to see how it all plays out but for now thats all i got. i got to get some sleep so i can go to my real job tomorrow(fun fun). until next time, I'm out, Dorian Rhodes Current Mood: crazy (1 Comment |Comment on this)
