More About Me

Get an audio summary of my skills and experience below:



Since the "About Me" section of this blog is limited to a specific number of characters, I decided to write a post that discusses more about what I have done in the pro-wrestling industry, beginning with when I first started in it and leading up to now.

Technically, I started back in the 1990s, contributing to "Pro Wrestling Illustrated" and then "Pro Wrestling Torch". In 1997, I contributed to The Official Website of the NWO. That same year, I briefly published my own newsletter, "The Wrestling Express".

In 1998, I taught myself how to design websites and served as a consultant for various independent promotions. That next year, I worked as a website designer/maintainer for Dylan Summers (Necro Butcher), who was running the Texas-based Power Pro Wrestling Federation, and later was involved with Texas Outlaw Promotions.

During the period of 2000-2002, I was involved in many different projects at once. I was working as a website designer/publicist for talent, contributing to WCW.com, writing columns for independent promotions and the website of former WCW star The Stro, and writing for a variety of pro-wrestling media sites (including WrestlingObserver.com and PWTorch.com). In 2003, I began running my own website, World Wrestling Optimum, which consisted of news, articles, and interviews.

From 2001 to 2013, I worked as a Sports Desk Assistant for Southern Westchester BOCES Athletics, responsible for inputting schedules and assigning officials for all public high school athletic events in the greater New York metropolitan area. This gave me an opportunity to hone my skills in organization and logistics. I acted as in-house technical support.

In 2004, I started working for the Michigan-based Ultimate Championship Wrestling as a publicist/columnist. They were an affiliate of American Wrestling Association Superstars Of Wrestling, and I soon became the publicist/columnist of the main governing body of AWA as well. During my time working for UCW, I played a major role in bringing in new talent, due to my having come into contact with many talents being underused and going unnoticed in the industry over the years. Also, attendance increased by a significant amount.

In 2005, I started doing a column for 3PW. With DVDs sold nationwide, they had the potential to become much bigger than they already were at the time, and they were very open to my ideas. I pushed for many changes behind the scenes. I had encouraged management to improve the production quality of their DVDs, which led to them dealing with a different production company. 3PW management had planned on waiting for its fan base to increase before getting TV for 3PW. I explained how getting TV for 3PW is what would increase its fan base, and I was then given the green light to find networks that were interested. Two networks were very interested, and I encouraged 3PW management to meet with them as soon as possible. Unfortunately, the owner of the company instead opted to shut 3PW down, due to losing interest. Working for 3PW put me in connection with the UK-based 1PW, where I worked as a columnist.

After 3PW shut down, I began working as a publicist for independent promotions, including CHIKARA. I also worked as a columnist for CZW. Interestingly, though, it was 2006 at this point, yet I was still most recognized for the work that I had done for 3PW and AWA/UCW.

In 2007, I started working as a columnist for XCW, a promotion that was seen nationally on MAVTV, had a national DVD deal, and also had PPV events. Working for a promotion of national status was my biggest achievement at that point, and two years later, I reached a bigger achievement- Big Japan Pro-Wrestling. Along with working for them as a columnist and an Administrator for their Facebook page, I helped bring Big Japan Pro-Wrestling together with Combat Zone Wrestling to form a working relationship after a previous working relationship between the two promotions had fallen apart. This new working relationship led to Big Japan Pro-Wrestling having its first event in the United States.

In October 2009 I assisted publicity & promotions company MGM Management with the HULKAMANIA- Let the Battle Begin tour by distributing their press release to pro-wrestling news sites that are popular with Australian fans, and conducting an interview with Solofa Fatu Jr. (better known as, "Rikishi"). Also, in 2012, I wrote a number of columns for Women Superstars United, which was known as Women Superstars Uncensored at the time.

In May 2018 I did social media for Great North Wrestling.

In April and May 2021, I did blogging and social media for Kyushu Pro Wrestling. During that time, the promotion gained 220 new subscribers and 52,746 new views on its official YouTube channel.

Recently, I have done blogging and social media for Yanagase Pro Wrestling. Since the time I began writing for them, Yanagase Pro Wrestling has their anniversary events at a venue where they have had 300 fans. All previous Yanagase Pro Wrestling events took place at a 50-seat venue.

I have also recently written for the China-based Middle Kingdom Wrestling in a Publicist capacity. My work is an essential piece in the multilingual activation, with it being adapted to traditional Chinese for readers in China. I am the first native English writer to have written for a Chinese wrestling organization in history.

In 2019, I began writing for Michinoku Pro Wrestling, in charge of international wrestling. Since the time that I began writing for them, Michinoku Pro stopped choosing Shin-Kiba 1st Ring for its Tokyo events and began focusing on the much larger Korakuen Hall for its Tokyo appearances. The Korakuen Hall is known as a place where many historical moments in the Japanese pro-wrestling scene have occurred. It's to Japan what Madison Square Garden is to the pro-wrestling scene in the United States. Michinoku Pro had a sellout, standing-room-only event on December 13, 2019 at the Korakuen Hall. The event had an attendance of 1,890. That was the highest reported attendance at the Korakuen Hall to date for a pro-wrestling event since April 2015.

In addition, I have blogged for the Allied Independent Wrestling Federations.

My articles, "A Look at the History and Future of WOW" and, "Will WOW Go From Las Vegas Residency to an Even Higher Level?" were endorsed by WOW - Women Of Wrestling on social media in August 2025 and October 2025, respectively. My articles, "WOW Hits the Jackpot: Women Of Wrestling Secures Season 4 & Groundbreaking Las Vegas Residency", A History of Women's Wrestling in America", "The 11 Most Must-See WOW Matches Right Now", "A Potential Game-Changer for Sophie Cunningham: The WOW Opportunity", "Independent Gaijin Dreams and the Japanese Experience of WOW's Superheroes" and, "A History of Wrestling Managers" were endorsed by WOW as well.

In July 2025, I developed the core corporate communications and original strategic press release for the founding team of youth sports platform True Lacrosse announcing their strategic partnership with the incoming Private Equity partner, TZP Group, launching the new national platform, True Sports. The final deliverables were used as the basis and foundation for the final, official, public-facing, published corporate release and announcement. The document passed final approval by the founders and TZP Group.

I am also a Technology Writer specializing in AI, VR, AR, NFTs, 5G, Web3, streaming, and the metaverse in the context of wrestling, and a subject matter expert in the business side of Japan's MMA scene, soccer/football scene, and other sports.

In additon, I am currently working for TELUS Digital as an Online Data Analyst, developing and improving AI models by contributing data, assessments, and insights via writing and data collection/annotation/labeling.

The 11 Most Must-See WOW Matches Right Now

To truly understand why WOW - Women Of Wrestling is a compelling product, with its utilization of the late-1980s/early-1990s style of having a big focus on characters, and family friendly & nostalgic tone, you have to watch the action, which is defined by athleticism, championship chases, and unpredictable drama.

I have compiled the eleven most must-see matches available right now. This list serves as your essential guide to understanding the history, style, and the past & present main backstories, rivalries, and epic feuds of WOW. They are listed in chronological order.

1. Terri Gold vs. Jungle Grrrl

Two legends of WOW, Terri Gold and Jungle Grrrl started as close friends, but this dynamic changed when Jungle Grrrl prioritized dominance and defeating opposition, viewing Terri Gold as top competition.






2. Battle Royale for the WOW World Championship

Historically important as it established WOW's top title, this was a part of David McLane's vision- female athletes front and center as the sole focus of the action, competing to be champion of the only all-female wrestling promotion on syndicated television. This is where the WOW World Championship lineage began.





3. Terri Gold vs Jungle Grrrl Rematch

After their first match, Terri Gold went on to become the first WOW World Champion, which made her an even bigger target for Jungle Grrrl. With the championship on the line in this encounter, there was more at stake than establishing superiority, resulting in the competitiveness of this match topping their previous one.





4. Selina Majors vs. Thug (Lumberjack)

Selina Majors was a standout member of the WOW roster during the promotion's beginnings, adding credibility to WOW and establishing it as a valuable platform for women's wrestling. She had a major feud with Thug, with one of their most notable and over-the-top matches being a "Lumberjack" match. It was so wild, physical, and out of control that they battled into the crowd and even into the backstage area. This match led to David McLane booking them in WOW's first "Steel Cage" match, so that the action could be controlled.






5. Jungle Grrrl vs. The Beast

At odds with The Beast since the moment she joined WOW, Jungle Grrrl and The Beast were each other's toughest challenges in the promotion. Two dominant forces, their matches were a meeting between the ultimate predator and the unstoppable force.




6. Santana Garrett vs. Abilene Maverick

WOW features larger-than-life characters, some good, some evil- and two perfect examples of this are the respected Santana Garrett and the devious Abilene Maverick (now one of the managers in WOW). During Garrett's reign as WOW Champion, she displayed hard work and integrity. Maverick, on the other hand, was a calculating champion who did whatever was necessary to keep the title. This match, where Maverick defends the championship against Garrett, is the perfect example of a challenger relying on their technical skills as they go against a champion who is always willing to bend the rules and doesn't care how the match ends, as long as they leave the ring as champion.





7. 12 Woman Championship Battle Royal

This Battle Royal was the beginning of a new era for WOW, as it crowned a new champion after the WOW World Championship had been vacated as a result of The Beast relinquishing it and departing. This match marked a return to the company's roots, being that WOW's first singles champion was decided in a Battle Royal. After this match, WOW Superheroes including Holly Swag, Penelope Pink, Tormenta, and The Classmaster became more prominent, as the company went in a new direction and shifted its focus.




8. Scout Parker vs. Keta Rush

This match is a solid representation of WOW because it showcases three of the promotion's core elements: characters, backstories, and athleticism. Scout Parker is an environmentalist who is on a mission to protect the natural world- at all costs. Keta Rush is an all-around super athlete who was severely beaten by bullies, which later motivated her to become a superhero and founded the nonprofit organization, Team Bully Buster, to teach others self-defense and confidence. But once the bell rings, the main focus goes from the characters & backstories to the in-ring action, as they utilize their athletic backgrounds. Parker is a Division I athlete in diving & weightlifting, and Rush has a trackstar background.





9. Penelope Pink & Holly Swag vs. Big Rig Betty & Jessie Jones

In this match that was a clash of styles with family drama as a centerpiece, Holly Swag -the daughter of Big Rig Betty- was now aligned with Penelope Pink and the rest of Lana Star's upper-class, "Fab Four" faction, separating herself from the backwoods lifestyle that she was raised in. Betty & Jessie Jones were defending their WOW World Tag Team Championship against Pink & Swag in this match, and it's a perfect representation of WOW's tag team action.





10. STEEL CAGE MATCH for the WOW World Tag Team Championship

This "Steel Cage" match for the WOW World Tag Team Championship was the culmination of an intense and escalating feud between Penelope Pink and Holly Swag (who were the champions at this point) and the challengers, Miami's Sweet Heat (Lindsey and Laurie Carlson). Originally, Miami's Sweet Heat were members of Lana Star's Fab Four faction, but the faction came to an end when Star turned her back on Miami's Sweet Heat and focused her support on Pink and Swag. After both teams engaged in a regular match that ended in a disqualification, and chaotic "Hardcore" and "Lumberjack" matches that ended in No Contests, it was decided that a "Steel Cage" match would be the only way that the feud could end. At the end of what was only the second "Steel Cage" match in WOW history (with the first being in 2001), and the first one featuring a WOW championship being on the line, would the feud end with Pink and Swag still being WOW World Tag Team Champions, or would Miami's Sweet Heat defeat them and hold the championship for the fifth time? The feud ended in a way that no one saw coming.





11. Penelope Pink vs. Holly Swag

With Miami's Sweet Heat reunited with Lana Star and Penelope Pink to reform Fab Four, and Holly Swag betrayed by Star and Pink, Swag was out for revenge. That led to this singles match between Pink and Swag, which took place at the iconic Fremont Street Experience in Las Vegas. Already talented performers, the enthusiastic crowd motivated Pink and Swag to raise the bar.

Who Will Be John Cena's Last Challenger? Retirement Odds Predict Final Opponent

The finale of John Cena’s legendary career is upon WWE, as the Last Time Is Now Tournament to determine who will face the 17-time World Champion in his final match is underway. Meanwhile, the shifting betting odds predict the tournament's outcome.



Online casino database and online gambling authority Casino Guru News has released the latest odds. Note that in the betting world, the lower the number, the higher the implied probability of winning.

The Frontrunners

Gunther (+160): John Cena has never had a match with Gunther, who is currently at the top of the betting board. If Gunther wins the tournament, Cena's final match will be a fresh, never-before-seen match.

Cody Rhodes (+175): Since Cody Rhodes returned to WWE, he has had two matches with John Cena, with both men claiming a victory. If Rhodes is Cena's final opponent, the match would be a rubber match.

The Rock and The Miz (+180): The Rock and The Miz have the same odds, but with The Rock's extremely busy Hollywood schedule, it's unlikely that he's fully prepared to perform in the ring at this time- although he has been full of surprises as a WWE Superstar. In The Miz's case, he is among the short list of Superstars who have defeated John Cena at WrestleMania- will The Miz also add to his resume that he was Cena's final opponent?

Beyond the frontrunners, other notable odds include:

Rusev (+200): In Rusev's first singles match with John Cena, Rusev was victorious by referee decision. If he is Cena's final opponent next month, Cena will be facing a competitor who not only had pushed him to his limits before, but is more experienced and versatile than he was 10 years ago when they had their first match against each other.

Sheamus (+225): Only seven months after making his debut on WWE-TV, Sheamus defeated John Cena for the WWE Championship in December 2009. Cena regained it in February 2010 at Elimination Chamber in the match of the same name, but Sheamus became champion again in June 2010 at Fatal 4-Way in a match of the same name, pinning Cena for the win. If Sheamus is Cena's final opponent, he will likely deliver a challenging match.

Dominik Mysterio (+250): After recently losing the WWE Intercontinental Champion to John Cena, Dominik Mysterio has two reasons to want to be John Cena's final opponent- not only to receive that distinction, but also to get an opportunity to try to even the score.

Jey Uso (+300): 2025 has been a significant and largely successful year for Jey Uso, marked by major career milestones- winning the Royal Rumble at the beginning of the year, being a part of the main event scene, and becoming a world champion for the first time in his career. Having a singles match with John Cena for the first time, in Cena's final match, would make the end of Uso's year just as noteworthy as it began.

The betting lines confirm that the speculation around the outcome of the Last Time Is Now Tournament is a powerful driver of interest. And for whoever John Cena's final opponent is, it will be a monumental moment in their career.

Whatever Happened To...?: WOW Superhero The Beast

One of WOW - Women Of Wrestling's most memorable homegrown talents is The Beast, the notably athletic Superhero who became a two-time WOW World Champion and also the first African-American Superhero to hold the championship. More than a competitor, she was the embodiment of "Beast Mode," as she dominated her opponents in the purple ring with animalistic intensity.



As WOW grows in popularity and pro-wrestling fans seek out information about the company's history and watch matches from its past via Pluto TV in the Americas & Europe, and Wrestling Central in North America, they wonder: Where is The Beast now, and will the OG master of disaster ever return to the ring?

The Beast's WOW Career

The Beast’s career is partly defined by her two reigns as WOW World Champion, with her first reign being the second-longest in the championship's history, and her second reign being the sixth-longest. A top-tier performer on the WOW roster, not only was The Beast a strong athlete, she was also a fighting champion, known for her strength and always being ready and willing to defend her championship.



However, The Beast's first reign ended in an unexpected fashion, when an injury and subsequent attack outside an arena by an unknown assailant wielding a baseball bat forced her to relinquish the WOW World Championship.


This setback fueled her recovery, and upon her successful return, The Beast quickly reclaimed her status at the top of the WOW mountain, regaining the world championship in less than a year.



During The Beast's second championship run, she successfully defended her title against Tormenta, Penelope Pink, and The Classmaster. The Beast was scheduled to have a championship defense against Jessie Jones, but moments after The Beast entered the arena, she was sneak attacked by three masked and hooded assailants, one of them smashing a bottle over The Beast's head.



The Beast's Exit: 'I Quit' vs. Retirement

For The Beast, this was the final straw. After previously being attacked outside of an arena, and now being the victim of a violent sneak attack inside of an arena, The Beast shocked WOW by relinquishing the world championship in her final televised appearance, making clear that she was quitting in order to protect her family.


While most WOW fans interpreted this as an official retirement, to "quit" is a sudden departure, while "retire" is a planned, definitive end to a career, which is not what The Beast announced. And besides, a wrestler isn't retired until they stop coming back.

Where Is The Beast Now?

Moving on to the next chapter of her life, The Beast became a contestant on Amazon Prime's reality competition show Beast Games. Released between December 2024 and February 2025, the show featured 1,000 contestants and she reached the final two in the competition, winning a total of $190,000. In a show of goodwill and support towards a former member of their active roster who had achieved a significant public accomplishment and gained widespread attention on a major streaming show, WOW publicly congratulated her on her success via social media.

As for The Beast's future, being that she relinquished the WOW World Championship due to sneak attacks and not being defeated in a match, The Beast didn't truly lose the championship, nor did she lose her dominant presence- if she ever chooses to return, the championship title is still something she can legitimately stake a claim to. It's also worth noting that while her legacy is secured, the shadow of her unavenged exit remains. Until someone pins or submits The Beast in a WOW World Championship match, the question of "Whatever Happened To..." will always be answered with: She is the champion who never lost.

Why Major Japanese Companies Invest in Lacrosse Clubs and the JLA

When the world looks at Japanese sports, they often see sumo, pro-wrestling, women's pro-wrestling, soccer/football, MMA, baseball, esports, women's football, and rugby. But a quiet financial engine is driving another sport to global prominence: lacrosse.

Japan is a world power in lacrosse (ranking 5th globally in the Men's Field game and securing its first-ever world-level medal in the 6s format), yet its success isn't built on wealthy individual patrons or massive broadcast deals. It’s built on a unique, deeply ingrained business model that prioritizes corporate culture over consumer revenue.

The Japanese lacrosse scene is an interesting business rarity, funded by major Japanese companies like AKTIO Corporation and Nissin Foods, who don't treat it as a revenue stream- they treat it as a talent development and support initiative.

While players in the U.S. and Canada start young, the vast majority of Japanese lacrosse players begin in university (more than 80% of players). This makes the collegiate system the central talent pipeline.

The Japan Lacrosse Association (JLA) has a large ecosystem of clubs- around 320 teams and approximately 13,100 registered members. This structured collegiate environment creates the ideal entry point for corporate support.

The fundamental difference between Japan and the U.S./Canada lies in how Japanese corporations view "sponsorship." It often aligns with the traditional Jitsugyodan (corporate group) sports system, where companies treat elite athletes as employees.

Major corporations help sports clubs as a way to attract and retain talented university graduates. Supporting a lacrosse team is viewed as a commitment to employee wellness, offering a strong work-life balance and a structured extracurricular activity.

Companies invest in university leagues and championships to be known as supporters of local student athletes and their personal growth. The JLA's partnership with companies like AKTIO (a Gold Partner for the Kanto Student Lacrosse League) emphasizes support for student athletes' challenges and growth.

For companies like Nissin Foods, which present major events like the All Japan University Championship, and even the All Japan National Lacrosse Championships (the top event for post-collegiate club teams), the company gains exposure and reputation. Being that the company is not looking for a direct return on investment from ticket sales or merchandise, this long-term stable backing enables Japanese lacrosse to develop world-class talent like Negai Nakazawa, Shinya Tateishi, and Hiroki Kanaya without short-term financial pressures.

The JLA actively pursues partnerships that aid in efficiency and development:

Veo Technologies: In September 2025, the JLA signed an agreement with the Danish AI camera supplier, showing a forward-thinking business approach focused on using global technology to improve player growth and tactical analysis for Japan's national teams.

AKTIO Corporation: A construction equipment rental company that has partnered with the JLA to support student athletes and the Kanto Student Lacrosse League. Their stated motivation -resonance with the creativity and self-sustainability of the students- highlights the cultural value placed on the sport's character.

Nissin Foods: A key sponsor of the major national championship events, providing vital funding for high-profile tournaments.

This distinctive funding model -built on stable corporate employment and collegiate development- is exactly why Japan is so well-positioned for the sport's new era. With the Women's World Championship coming to Tokyo in 2026 and the Men's in 2027, and the sport returning to the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, the Japanese business model provides a solid, domestically funded foundation, setting the country up to be a stronghold of Asian lacrosse and a major global power.

The Ultimate Global Wrestling Streaming Guide for TV, Desktop, and Mobile

While traditional TV and cable remain valuable options, particularly for pro-wrestling, the landscape of home entertainment has been significantly expanded by streaming services, leading to the "cord-cutting" phenomenon and over 90% of internet users watching TV content via streaming services each month.

The Living Room Experience (Television & Consoles)
Generation X (ages 40-56) and Baby Boomers (ages 56+) generally prefer watching wrestling on traditional television broadcasts rather than streaming, as a result of lifelong habits and a general comfort with television, a media platform that was established many decades ago. They feel that television is best for live events and that it has the best video quality.

Casting and Screen Mirroring
If you can't put an app for the streaming service on your device, you'll need to cast the stream from your phone or PC. Casting is the wireless process of sending video from a source device to be displayed on a different, larger screen.

Chromecast (Google Cast): Start the stream on your phone or PC and tap the Cast icon to push it to your TV.

AirPlay (Apple): Best for iPhone or Mac users, allowing you to mirror your screen or cast the video directly to an Apple TV or AirPlay-compatible smart TV.

Suggesting on Casting: If possible, cast directly from the video player within the app (using the Cast/AirPlay icon), rather than mirroring your phone or PC's entire screen. Casting provides a dedicated, higher-quality video stream.



The PC Experience (Laptops/Notebooks, Desktops, and All-In-Ones)
When watching streaming online, the PC is often the default for productivity or multitasking. Since you're dealing with a browser, the experience can vary depending on which browser and which service you use.

1. Browser Choice Matters
Chrome generally offers the most stable performance for streaming services.
Safari is optimized for Apple hardware.

2. Multi-Tasking and Performance
If you're watching wrestling while working or gaming, close unnecessary browser tabs. Streaming video is resource-intensive.

A powerful gaming desktop or laptop handles streams easily. However, streaming live video (especially 4K) can quickly heat a non-gaming laptop and drain its batter- consider reducing the streaming resolution (if available) or using a laptop cooling pad.



The Mobile Preference (Phones & Tablets)
The mobile preference is about convenience, portability, and data management while commuting or traveling.

Essential Mobile Features

Picture-in-Picture (PiP): Most modern mobile apps support PiP, allowing you to minimize the wrestling stream to a corner of your screen while you check social media or respond to texts.

Wi-Fi Priority: Whenever possible, connect to Wi-Fi. Streaming live wrestling can consume 1GB–3GB of data per hour, which can quickly exceed most mobile data limits.



The wrestling streaming landscape is constantly evolving, but with these tips, you can ensure you have a great seat- no matter which screen you're using.
