...Call me crazy, but this might be my third attempt at writing my Live Journal this week. The reason I have had problems? Nothing to write? Come on, you guys no better then that. I can't think of a good subject for the subject line! Nothing came to mind. I need to think of like 5 in a row and then keep them in my wallet for later use!
I hope everyone has had a good weekend. If you live on the East Coast in the States you know that everyday has been about a hundred and hell (Credit CW Anderson for the one-liner). But me and the boys have been "braving" through by hanging out at the swimming pool pretty much everyday.
Thank you to everyone that emailed me and the 01USA site (www.ZEROONEUSA.com (http://www.ZEROONEUSA.com)) with your condolences and thoughts about the death of Shinya Hashimoto. For me, it was pretty sad because Hashimoto gave me my big chance in Japan and was my boss for three and a half years. I really didn't like how his association with ZERO-ONE ended but I guess he had his reasons. Either way I will always think of Hashimoto in a very positive light. No matter what you read about him (i.e. the alleged book he was writing, the widow Fuyuki, etc.)and his last year on this earth, I try to remember the Hashimoto that loved the sport and his guys. That was the Hashimoto I looked upon as a friend, boss, and mentor. Goodbye my friend. You better be in heaven because I still need to get that pinfall win over you!!!
On a totally different note and I know this has nothing to do with me because I don't work for either WWE and/or UPN but I think this whole Hassan thing is pretty F'n stupid. Since when do fans of pro-wrestling confuse sports entertainment (I hate that term but that is what WWE uses) and terrorism? Do we live in that sensitive of a world where the WWE has to bow down to the executives of UPN? Does anyone really think out there that Hassan and Davari make terrorism fashionable? If I looked at the UPN schedule I could no doubt tell you a bunch of things that probably would offend me. I feel bad for Hassan and Davari. Both of these guys have worked very hard and have done a great job of being HEELS. Not the regular tough guy heels, but guys you wanted the American wrestlers to beat up. Does anyone at UPN realize the business that is done with the anti-American wrestling heel? I guess not. I guess they would rather see a real life love triangle turned into a work. Me, I prefer watching just regular heel vs. babyface. Hassan and Davari are great heels and who didn't pop when Hogan came out to wrestle them? I know I did! I hope WWE finds something good for them to do or puts them back on RAW.
OK, off the soap box Steve.
A big thanks to everyone that is watching WORLD-1 Internet TV over at www.WORLD1Wrestling.com (http://www.WORLD1Wrestling.com). We are having a bunch of fun putting it together and the feedback has been great so far. Right now it is a work in progress and I hope that we get better every week. Six months ago I probably would have told you I wanted nothing to do with the promoting/booking/producing side of my own company again but with the small shows we are doing I think it is going ot be a lot of fun. I hope I get to see some SC fans out in NE Philly on August 6.
Well that is it for me for this edition. Its back to MLB 2004 for me. My Phillies are 49-12 but the O's have taken two in a row from me...Yes, I know, its time to get some sort of life Steve! But the boy is outside with his friends and my girl lives far away! Whats a man to do???
Take care everyone

I just figured you'd like to know the feelings of a non-WWE wrestler's opinions on some things.
