Condensed from Robert Morning Sky's
"Terra Papers: The Hidden History of Planet Earth"
I am called 'Morning Sky.' I grew up hearing the stories my grandfather told of a Space Being he helped rescue. My grandfather was one of six young Native Americans who witnessed the crash of a spaceship in 1947, shortly after the now-famous Roswell incident.
When they reached the site, they found one being still alive. They took him back to their camp where they hid and nursed him back to health. They called him 'Star Elder' out of respect; as time passed he revealed his name. He was called Bek'Ti. He revealed to them the history of mankind and the planet Earth.
In the late 1960's, when I started college, I found myself entertaining the possibility that these stories might not be true. I thus enrolled in Religious Studies, an independent study program that would allow me an opportunity to research ancient records to prove or disprove the many stories of Star Elder.
I submitted to my Religious Studies professor a thesis that summed up my three years of research. It was entitled "Terra, A Hidden History of Planet Earth." Within days, he had labeled it "a work of blasphemy and outrage!" It nearly got me thrown out of school.
Having had no success in the academic field, I decided to contact then existing UFO organizations and researchers. The general response was to label the work "the stuff of myth and legend of Native Americans, not suitable to the serious study of a scientific phenomena."
The total rejection made me angry. For nearly thirty years, I refused to even pick up a book on UFO's or New Age Phenomena. I religiously refused to read or listen to what is out there.
Circumstances have changed. My Grandfather is gone, but not before he had elicited a promise from me to try once more to tell the story.
The history of mankind and Earth as revealed by Bek'Ti is both exciting and frightening. Man's creation and his place in the galaxy is made clear, but in the process, Man's nobility and pride are injured. The abduction phenomena and the attending grey beings are integral parts of humanitiy's history, and explained against a framework of the Star Beings' purposes for mankind.
The sources of Man's religions and the origins of legendary figures like Zeus, Osiris, Isis, the Minotaur and a number of other 'mythological' beings are explained and also placed into the framework of Earth's history.
Part 2: The Story of Man's Creation
In our galaxy are billions of Star Beings. Humanoid races are the rule, not the exception. These races descended from many life forms: reptiles, insects, dinosaurs, birds and other life forms mankind cannot begin to imagine.
One of the oldest Star Races in this sector of the universe is the reptilian Ari-An which descended from dinosaur ancestors in the star system of Orion. Ruled by Queens, they created the most powerful empire in this galaxy. Ari-An warriors were unmatched for ferocity and bravery, and the Ari-An Empire was unmatched in power and size.
Millions of years of countless battles had allowed this Empire to develop advanced war strategies. Among these, the Ari-An practiced "conditioning" or "reprogramming" to control conquered populations and make them assets rather than liabilities. Enemies became obedient servants of the reptilian queens' throne. In this way, the Ari-Ans eliminated resistance.
An unexpected evolution of another race in the star system Sirius posed a threat to the Ari-An Empire. Though not as old or as advanced as the reptilians, the warriors of the Kanus Empire, a doglike race (similar to wolves) made up for any lack with their fierceness. Even the most disciplined of the Ari-An warriors feared these vicious and barbaric Sirian warriors, who stopped to devour the flesh of their enemies on the battlefield.
Rapid advancement of the Sirian warriors threatened the very existence of the Ari-An Empire. As a result, the queens approached the Sirian kings to offer an alliance. A treaty was agreed upon that delineated which sectors of the galaxy each empire was to rule and, for a time, the warriors of both empires fought side-by-side.
With the birth of a new star system was born, the Sirian King was quick to claim it. As the Sirians began to exploit its resources, this new system became an outpost for both the Ari-An and Sirian Empires, and the power and wealth for both continued to grow. But eventually war broke out again, this time among rival Sirian kings. In the end, Ari-An forces joined King An. Entire worlds held by the opposition were totally destroyed, including their moons and colonies.
Much later, King An sent his son Prince Ea and daughter, Princess Nin-Hur-Sag (both genetic scientists) to rebuild the destroyed world of Eridu and once again tap into the valuable and much needed resources found there. They successfully restored the atmosphere; refilled the seas with life; recreated plants, trees and flowers; and hybridized many different kinds of creatures. The planet Eridu (Earth) was reborn.
New creatures were produced to inhabit the planet. One such creature, Apa-Mus, was an ape-beast hybrid whose only purpose was to serve and to slave in the fields and mines. But this beast was different from the others. It could understand orders and could communicate. Princess Nin-Hur-Sag had genetically engineered the ape-beast hybrid by using her own DNA. The beast grew in intelligence and began to teach his own quickly multiplying offspring.
When another species of genetically engineered workers -- underground - dwelling Sheti Lizards, revolted and seized power, the ruling Star Beings fled from the planet. With the opposition out of the way, the Sheti used mind-control and programming techniques they learned from their masters to alter the memories of the remaining Star Being descendants. Mankind's knowledge of Star Beings was replaced with myths and legends.
Sheti dominance has been and continues to be challenged by many other star races attempting to regain control of Earth -- and mankind -- for their own purposes. The struggle for power goes on.
Part 3: Overthrow Attempts -- Past, Present and Future
The reptilian Ari-An race has made several attempts to overthrow the present power on Earth. In the early 20th century, the world-wide Aryan movement nearly succeeded in conquering the entire "docile" world. If, as the author suggests, they are continuing in their efforts, new movements in the supremacy groups will appear. Reptiles will appear in all aspects of the media as friendly or heroic beings, fighting on man's behalf. Reptilian superheroes will become children's role models.
Religious uprisings have been staged throughout Earth's history by the Sirians. The Inquisition, the Papal Wars, the numerous "Messiahs" and the "Miracle Sightings" were engineered by them to bring mankind back into their influence. If they, too, are trying to take over the Earth as the author suggests, then a return to fundamentalism will also occur, as will the increasing appearance of angels and miraculous occurrences.
Patterns show on-going efforts to direct the people of Planet Earth and also predict upcoming events: Mankind will soon be surrounded with images of asteroids and falling fiery comets. Black pigs will be seen everywhere as will angelic figures and miracles. Dinosaurs will become children's heroes and violence will be the foundation of their play. New airborne diseases, immune to existing treatments, will surface. NASA will be rendered weak and impotent, if not terminated.
A galactic war of conquest rages over our heads. Earth -- and Man -- are the prize.
Crop Circles -- Visual Communications
In an attempt to communicate with the descendants of Star Beings - especially those who are able to remember the "clues" -- visual signals are being sent in the form of crop circles. Signs meant for the Sirian descendants usually have a striking resemblance to ancient Egyptian glyphs, football-shaped designs, circle-in-cross forms, or circles with a dot in the center. They may also appear as mathematical formulations.
Crop circles from the Ari-Ans often have a snake-like form, or insect or bug-like creatures. Whatever the form, crop circles are signs to the descendants that they have not been forgotten.
As a signal that a starship has been dispatched to the solar system and Earth, images of enormous planetary starships and crews comprised of heroic "saviours" of mankind and the Earth will be everywhere. To counter this image of a "good" heavenly body, images of falling asteroids and crashing comets will be used as justification for aiming anti-asteroid missiles skyward for "defensive" purposes.
Part 4: Forms of Control
Meanwhile, to maintain control of mankind, the Sheti have introduced new devices to continue the bombarding us with a numbing and controlling electronic blanket. Many of these electronic instruments are carried on the person: Tape and CD players with headphones, virtual reality gear, pagers, pocket games, cellular phones, beepers, etc. are now commonplace.
Drugs of all kinds, legal and illegal (including alcohol, tobacco and narcotics) are part of the control program to keep mankind docile.
Behavior modification to prevent us from being motivated to fight for ourselves, will require that no human being be allowed status as hero. Those who do not fight back, but endure great suffering will become the new "heroes" and role models: victims, martyrs, tortured POWs, and people who die in service to their country.
Population control will increase in intensity and only the select will be allowed to continue. Disappearances and abductions will increase, especially of women and young children. New airborne diseases will appear. Obesity will increase, sexual dysfunction will increase in males, and female menstrual cycles will decrease from 28 days to 25 days.
To maintain control of mankind and keep us stranded on Earth, NASA will be eliminated or severely restricted in its scope. Any evidence of extraterrestrial life will be strictly suppressed and denied.
Mankind's Hope: Royal Blood
The battle lines have been drawn for a coming galactic war for the domination of planet Earth. As long as mankind seeks salvation "out there," he paves the way for beings vying to become his Overlords. But mankind has another option.
Though born of beasts and bred to serve, mankind was created by the genetic scientists, Prince EA and Princess Nin-Hur-Sag using their own DNA and their own royal blood. This royal line of Sirian Blood entitles mankind to claim Earth its own. This is the story that has been suppressed, the truth that was kept hidden.
As long as mankind accepts Overlords and Gods, we accept an existence of servitude. When we finally remember that our own kingdom has been taken away, when we finally look to ourselves as our own Overlord or God, then and only then will we be free of extraterrestrials.
The author asks the reader to investigate for himself the information presented here. Accept none of it, challenge all of it. Decide for yourself if the words of Bek'Ti are true. You are your own god, you are the master of your destiny -- if you can remember The Truth.

Hau kola, my Little Braves. I'm sitting here on a plane, waiting to arrive for the biggest show ever in the history of this business...WrestleMania 25! I'm excited to be a part of it, Pre-Show Match or not. It'll be R-Truth, JTG and Shad (Cryme Tyme) vs. Jason Cooper, Jack Swagger and myself,Tatanka, in a big six man match to get the lucky fans who get to attend WM25 live all pumped up.
I'm not really too familiar with the other men participating in the match but that matters little. I will go out and give 1000% for all you fans out there each and every single time I walk that aisle, whether it be in a bingo hall, high school gymnasium or a capacity arena. I will always give my all and I will never do otherwise.
I've worked very hard to make my return to the squared circle and I am proud that WWE has given me the opportunity to do it here. The front office has been great to work with and they really seem to respect and understand what I want out of this stage of my career.
Titles don't matter as much as they used to to me at this stage of the game...though I wouldn't turn down any title opportunities that come my way, obviously. I'm more into simply making sure I give all my Little Braves the best matches I can. Period. If that means a golden belt finds its way around my waist, well then that's just a bonus.
I will see all of you in the arenas as I make a new name for myself in the WWE...a new name for a new warrior.
YIYIYIYI YI YI YI!
back again after a little away time and well in a way a lot has changed, but it all still stays the same.
Right now Im sitting back at the arena, where we are performing tonight, Although I dont have a match I decided to go down and have a chat with some of the guys. I've been a bit absent recently, so thought it would be a good idea to show my face.
The thing is that although we all need to take a break from eachother at times, there is always a place to return to. No matter if your name is Michael Shane, Jeff Hardy, Assasin, R-truth or Goldberg, the people in the lockerrooms across the country will be happy to see you, cause we can all get the feeling that we need a break from eachother, for whatever reason there may be.
For me this feeling often kicks in, when big events are around the corner, so it eventtually had to come this time as well. I think its because I need time away from people to prepare to deliver my absolute best at Mania, both physically and mentally, when I have these periods where I "hide away", I actually spend all my time training. This time though its been a bit different.
In recent weeks I have been moving and before you get all riled up, I havnt moved from Denmark to the states, I've been living there the last four years, but I moved to a new city, to a new apartment and away from most of the things I know.
Now I finally settled in in my new place, but still something is missing, I left most of the people I know back, and believe it or not outside the ring Im actually a pretty shy person, so I have a hard time meeting new people, but well one of the benefits with being in this business is that there is always a show near by, where you can catch up with old friends.
Talking of old friends I see some of them have arrived, so Im gonna head off and find someone to have a beer with.
catch you later.
I finally have come to my senses again, last night dragged out a bit as I met up with an old friend after leaving Jeff, Michael, Joe and Assassin at some bar.
It was nice meeting up with this guy again, he is one of the first people I met in the business, when I still was living in Denmark. He and I spend hours in the gym trying to perfect our ring work and characters... guess who had the most success with that lol.
Actually this guy is the person who laid the foundation for the style and moves I use in the ring today, he introduced me to the idea that a big man doesnt need to only do power moves in the ring, didnt seem right to me at that time, I just wanted to make an impact, it wasnt untill years later in Japan, when I wrestled as part of nWd with Forsaken and Unforgiven I started to see what he meant, and finally when I later met Doomsday that I fully embrased the idea.
Thinking of it now, I probaly have given many trainers and opponents headaches trying to develoap my skill and incorperate new moves into my repetoire.
The think is I love working out new moves, to add some more impact to my ring work, sometimes it goes well, sometimes not, as for example with the Roar Of The Beast. This was a elevatedb cutter of sorts, where I would lift the opponent into the Canadian Rack and then spin twist and turn him while in free fall, the move itself had great impact, but was pretty hard to pull off, in fact I think I only used it once on tv ending the feud between Tribal and me.
Back when I first signed with WWE I was also trying to demonstrate that big men can fly and reguarly used a springboard dropkick, this wasnt one of my greatest plans, cause I dont really have a hard time springboarding off to get elevation with my weight, so it mostly ended with it looking very clumsy and slowly faded away.
In WWE I never took the big risks with how I was wrestling I mostly took the advice from either trainers or other wrestlers on which moves and spots would fit, but back in the indies I did do the occasional high spot and portraing myslf as a more technical wrestler, especially while teaming with Joker in WVW where I reguarly pulled off moonsaults and used a varity of suplexes.
In the end there has been one move that has garuanteed me success The Primal Scream, the Scream has followed me since I started out in the states, although I mostly tried to tone it down in my indy work, in WWE it has become the unbreakable lock, only nearly broken once by Big Show, it has won me many matches and given me a Wrestlemania moment as it secured me the first and only TKO victory at Mania against Kill Crazy.
Although Im still trying to come up with new ways to improve I've gone a bit more traditional in my ring work these days, Im still trying to perfect the Vader Crush and making it work with the rest of my offense, also Im trying to incorporate a Sitout Dominator, but the rest is mostly the same.
Well I better get going, I'll have to hit the gym
See you along road
AHHHH nothing like a night backstage with the guys.
We have just finished off another houseshow and I have been sitting around with Hardy, Shane, Cena and Joe, having a very interesting conversation about all from Lord of the Rings to a tournament of death involving Barney.
Its been a long time since I last spend this much time backstage with the other guys, Ive been a bit stressed out with both keeping up with the houseshows and keeping some personal projects alive as well, but it was a great feeling being back.
Like I have mentioned in an earlier blog I tend to go nostalgic at this time of the year and so Ill do again lol
I remember back when I started in WWE, actually a couple of months before, when I first walked into the locker. Back then I was working for XFW and Scott Neaman had invited me down to a houseshow WWE was doing in the area.
The locker was filled with the stars and I nearly shit myself as Neaman suddenly pulled me over and introduced me to the crowd, the first one to react was Vince, who took a long look at me and told me to call him the next day before rushing off. I stayed close to Scott for about half an hour where I didnt dare talking to anyone, I mean all these guys were the big names, Hunter, Ryan Simmons, Michael Shane, James Steele and The Undertaker, believe me I was scared stiff.
After a while Hunter came up to me and we started talking, we had met earlier at some of SFW's shows where I had wrestled a couple of dark matches, but without any success and I didnt actually think he rememberred me. as the night went on I started to talk with some of the others, I got the hint from Shane that Vince probely would love to book me for some dark matches, due to my size. Sadly the Boogeyman heard that and quickly jumped into the conversation. Marty wasnt happy with the direction of his character at that point and was trying to find a partner to form a tagteam, first off I thought this is my big chance and we started brainstorming on ideas right there. Luckily Ryan, Michael and some of the others could see where it all was headed and they quickly jumped in to safe me.
Following that night I became a regular backstage, I also got to wrestle a few dark matches and eventually signing a contract which I still have lol
During my time here I made a lot of good friends, some better than others.
When I first arrived I remember I was terrified of James Steele, I was sure he hated me or something, then one day I walked into the locker and noone else was there but him, no need to say that the first few minutes were tence, but suddenly we started talking and to this day I think that this guy is one of my favorite persons in the business.
Around the same time as me, Adult Viewing signed with WWE and Butch and Romeo alongside James and I started hanging out backstage, often joined by Michael Shane and Hunter, we would spend very much time together both entertaining and annoying people with our own brand of humor (Im not totally sure if Butch and Romeo actually took it serious lol) later Min Sing joined the group and became somekind of running joke, who never had a momments piece.
A year or so later a veteran came back in the shape of Doomsday, I didnt know if I should run or pass out when I first met him, but he actually turned out to be an awesome person, Nik and I spend a lot of time working together off screen, he thought me how to be more than a generic big man in the ring, training with me develaoping new moves and facets of my ring work, but also taught me a lot about how to act in front of the camera in generel. when he wasnt in work mode, he was just one crazy sob who I loved hanging out withcause it was never boring.
Many others have passed through my live like that, people like Goldberg, Scorpio, and in newer days Jeff, Assasin, Tatanka and many more, I keep learning from them and I hope some of them learn something from me, but the one I learned the most from and who never learned anything from me (despite my efforts to teach him) was the Boogeyman, this guy taught everything I needed to know on how not to act in this business.
Well I better head off and grab a beer with the others before this turns into a dirtsheet rant on Marty.
Hygge All
Authors Note: The following are some of the opening passages from what would have become "The Rise, Fall and Rise Again of Virtual WWE" a full and concise history of VWWE. They form the origins of E-Feds almost exactly eight years ago as best i understand them.
As long as there has been sports, there has been fantasy, dream scenarios and matches. While the average man in the street dreams of the bright lights and glamor of his favorite sports teams, the big stadiums and moments, millions will fill online fantasy leagues of football, soccer, baseball... and professional wrestling.
Originally played via mail, fantasy wrestling exploded upon the internet boom of the 1990s. Created companies, characters, real companies and characters, every possible scenario was created and played out on numerous Internet message boards and forums, hundreds of Electronic Federations or more popularly E-Feds, came and went. Wrestling fans finally had the chance to fulfill a little of their dreams.
This is the tale of one such E-Fed and one community in particular, an E-Fed that some may call the Worldwide Leader in the genre, a company that has stood the test of time to last seven years and counting when most E-Feds last a matter of weeks, it is a name known and loved by many - Virtual World Wrestling Entertainment, better known maybe as VWWE.
Over those seven years, VWWE seen hundreds of members pass through it's doors and leave in so many different circumstances, it's members have grown from boys to men, their lives have been shared with their colleages, babies have been born, marriages held and in one case, two members ending up in a relationship of their own.
VWWE has provoked reactions from anger and fury to happiness and ecstasy, the tears have been numerous but so has the laughter. However if there's one emotion synonymous with VWWE.. it's passion. The passion that runs through WWE courses through the very foundations of their VWWE namesake, the love of wrestling kept these people together, kept the owners at the helm and helped the company survive and become the most successful E-Fed of all time.
This is their story, the story of the elite few, the story of the reality and the fantasy... and the story of one very special company....
2001: The World is Changed
September 11, 2001, a date that will forever be remembered and never forgotten. On that American morning terrorists hijacked four aircraft, crashing them into New York's World Trade Center, the Pentagon in Washington DC and a Pennsylvania field. It was an incident that had a profound effect on the entire World including that of professional wrestling, one wrestling community on WAP enabled cellphones and an individual 3000 miles away watching events unfold in a college computer room.
Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) was designed to be the first version of the internet on cellphones, debuting in 1999 with the popular Nokia 7250, the medium was considered an almost immediate failure, due largely to overhyping something later called "teletext on your phone". However, a small group of individuals seemed to embrace the concept and make the most of it, one such individual was Simon Parkhouse.
Parkhouse, a wrestling enthusiast, created WapWWF in early 2001, the mediums first wrestling news site, styled very much in the vain of WrestleZone.com and Rajah, these were the sites from which most of WapWWF's news was cut and pasted. The site was simple, created easily on a sitebuilding site by the name of WapJag and later moved to a similar utility named Tagtag, it would never win site of the year but by being the only WWF's only site on WAP, the site quickly gained a large following and it's chatrooms were regularly overflowing. It was here that WAP's first wrestling community was born and from here that E-Fed's on WAP would soon spring.
Over the summer, names such as both Jons (Rhyno and Silent Assassin), Dani, Jen, Sara, Graeme(Tommy Dreamer/Ryan Simmons), Mark (Dr.S), Fi (Rogue) and others all arrived along with notable future nuisences such as Mr Hogan and Mr Shaw. On September 11, these nuisances decided to insult the tragedy unfolding before the World, an event which offended the WapWWF Chat members enough to form an alliance, one of the first such alliances in the community - Team Bring It (TBI), a name taken from the WWF's current Invasion angle. The leader of TBI? a man who would become instrumental in the future of the community - Rhyno. Already the seeds of the coming months were being sown, Rhyno taking the leadership position he would follow through with the FWC E-Fed just a few months later. Meanwhile, the man who would become the nemesis of Rhyno for the majority of the next eight years, Mick, sat watching in horror the events unfolding on his TV. Just a few weeks later, Mick would pick up his cellphone and searching for WWF news, he'd stumble across WapWWF, never using the chatroom and only using the site he never became one of the WapWWF users or original E-Fed pioneers, the fateful moment Mick discovered Feds not coming for another two months at the dawn of the new year.
Rhyno and Mick's time would have to wait for now however as before that would come another individual - Diddy. In November 2001, Diddy formed WAP's first ever E-Fed - WWW, World Wap Wrestling. Enlisting WapWWF members such as Dr.S, Kohl, Rhyno, Silent Assassin and Banshee, WWW used a system that is unique to WAP E-Feds - a guessing system, it is the one, with slight modification, still in use today in VWWE.
WWW was a success, although a shockingly poor standard by todays comparison, the first company of it's kind drew plaudits from it's members.. and for the first time, a second chatroom sprung up. However, one individual had machinations in mind and Rhyno soon formed his own breakaway E-Fed under the same rules.... FWC or Fantasy Wrestling Championship.
FWC almost immediately had the advantage, Rhyno was a better writer, his position in WapWWF and TBI allowed him to recruit many more people and soon WWW stars such as Coops and Silent Assassin began to defect, FWC had become the number one E-Fed on WAP with ease.
All the stones were in place, but destiny had one more hand to play and in early 2002, while surfing WapWWF Mick stumbled across a link to a site called Wrestlenation left in one of WapWWFs guestbooks, the site was a fan site for wrestling made by Mark aka Dr.S.... with a section all about something called E-Feds, WWW and FWC. Intrigued as to what an E-Fed actually was, Mick clicked on the link to WWW..... and so was born a dynasty and an icon.
Wow A rare day off for me. Luckily the house show's are realitively close to my home town so I got the chance to spend some time with my kids.
Not many of you know but in my time away from WWE I was married and had 3 children. I guess their the reason I swallowed my pride and returned. I've been wanting to create my legacy (sorry for the gimmick infringement Randy)
I haven't seen Vince much these last few months. I've been a bit distant since the whole Donald Trump incident as I felt I was unjustly condemned.
But last week me and Vince sat down and had a meeting. It's weird I forget how much we actually have in common until we sit down and talk to each other.
Well as we chatted we basically booked Suffering's next YEAR... Yes YEAR!!!
This will come as a shock to my close fans/friends as I had intended on taking another hiatus after Wrestlemania as this last year has been a wreck on my body (I know it sounds like bitching but you try and work a part time schedule for 5 years and then jump straight into 5 shows a week)
But yes I am confirming here that I may have some time off but it won't be anything you guys actually notice.
For 10 years I have always had 100% faith in the Suffering character. I knew that one day it'd be the big character in pro wrestling. I now have somebody else who feels the same. Vincent Kennedy McMahon.
You know theirs a saying in WWE. Vince will only get 100% behind a character if he is a fan of that character. The fact that he had enough faith in me and Shane to allow us to book our own feud but he took an idea I had and intends on working it into a big angle.
Thank You Vince!!!
As you all know, WrestleMania is drawing ever so close, and during the last few weeks, many superstars have been updating you all on what they are doing, but i have not be one of them and i have kept myslef to myself so i decided that now is the right time to inform you on how i have been preparing for the grandaddy of them all!
During the last few days i havent really spoken to many members of the roster. I have been looking after my nan the last few weeks which has meant i have had to leave events as soon as i've finished doing what i needed to do. But things are looking up, my nan has had her kidney stone removed and is feeling fine and she is moving in with me until everything is sorted.
Today is also going to be a do nothing day for me as is it the deadline of the soccer transfer window, as you know im a supporter of Man Utd and i expect a few signings by the end of the day. While on the subject of soccer, i have to say it was a great result for us during the weekend and also my view on this Eduardo diving situatio. I think it is as now they have to do the same to everyone and so players will get banned left, right and centre.
Enough about soccer as i know a lot of you dont watch it and i have been keeping fit, doing push-ups and sit-ups every day, heading to the gym every day etc. I have also been playing the odd game of darts (If i wasn't such a great wrestler i think i would be darts champ!) and i have also just been sitting down watching the TV.
Now onto the serious business, WrestleMania XXV, the 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania and i have the chance to win my first title here in WWE when i face the largest athelete in sports entertainment, the big show, for the United States Championship and i know a lot of people are dounting my chances in the match, but all my hard work comes down to this, and im not making it come down to nothing without a fight.
Well here I am once more, sitting on the laptop typing up a blog. I can't say I'm very comfortable at the moment as I'm sitting outside waiting for someone to open the doors so I can get into the arena we are meant to be wrestling in. So now I'm stuck outside on a hard bench, which really isn't helping my back. See what we do for you WWE Universe? Anyway I decided to log on to the computer to keep myself occupied whilst I wait for the door to be unlocked and I saw that you fans have been treated to quite a few blogs lately. So I decided not to feel left out and to do a blog of my own to tell the WWE Universe about what has been going on lately in the WWE.
At the moment I'm alone and sometimes this is how I like it...I can see Jeff Hardy every now and then looking quite serious so I presume he is doing something important but beside that it is just me at the moment. I have to say the anticipation has been gradually building for Wrestlemania and were are now only 12 days away from what should be one of the greatest Wrestling moments ever. I certainly can't wait and I'm getting butterflies just thinking about it and I've spoken to several other guys and they seem like they feel exactly the same. Yesterday I had the opportunity to catch up with a recent signee, Jason Cooper who finally has broken into the WWE after spending alot of time in the Indies. I know it has been said earlier by Jeff in his blog but this guy is going to be a star and he has all the credentials to become one. The other day I got to see him cut a quick promo whilst doing a house show and he was fantastic on the mic for a new guy (far better than me I must add, after looking at some tapes of my earlier stuff). He is also a good guy to talk to outside the ring and yesterday we got talking about video games (What? WWE Superstars can't play video games?) and eventually it led to the new Smackdown vs Raw Video Game which brings me to the next thing I would like to talk about.
Just this last Saturday a bunch of us WWE Superstars, myself, Cooper, Jeff and Chavo to name a few, got to go to a big press conference thing about the new Smackdown vs Raw video game. First we got a run down by some dude, Corey I think his name was...wasn't paying much attention to tell the truth and after that we got the opportunity to roam around, get interviewed by some internet nerds (they said they were from Gamingfling...or was it Gamingring? Again I can't remember) and the main reason I went and I presume the others, to play the game. Jeff and I got to have the first go and when we first got on to the game it lead you to some sort of tutorial screen which we skipped right past. After that the main menu appeared and whilst some things were blacked out, there was still a fair amount of things we could chose from. Jeff persisted that we have a look at the new Create a Diving Finisher first (Typical) but I managed to convince him to play a First Blood Match first. I chose to be myself in the game and so did he and then we were into it.
At first glance I could've sworn it was real life the graphics are that good and everything was so detailed, like my tattoo's and scar and Jeff's face paint and arm bands. It then got me thinking about the time that we had to go into THQ and get scanned and speak lines and even grunts into a microphone a few months back. I suppose that payed off as everything looks great. We then got into the actual match and whilst Jeff was trying his hardest to beat me I was more testing out the new things you can do in the game like moves on the apron and leapfrogging an opponent. The one new thing that I didn't like however was the new momentum halo instead of a HUD which got a bit annoying at times. At the end of the match I made Jeff bleed after two Assassinations (which look great!) and a chair shot to the head.
We then took a quick look at two of the new Create modes - Create a Diving Finisher where we ended up creating a move that consisted of several flips and then the Story Mode Designer. The Story Mode Designer was very in depth and you could do a tonne of cool cutscenes (there was even a Michael Jackson based cutscene, maybe based off the time Cena and Shane entered to his music on Raw) as well as making matches and who will win and lose them. Our time was stopped short however as Chavo and MVP kicked us off claiming we had been on it for too long.
Overall it was good fun seeing the new game and seeing myself in Video Game form and I will certainly be buying it when it gets released! I even tried enquiring whether I could get it early but that idea was turned down fairly quickly. Anyway I think someone just arrived with a key so I better be off or I'll be in trouble. I'll hopefully get to speak to you in another blog soon but I'm making no promises as Wrestlemania week I'm sure will be very hectic!
Until then, farewell and I urge you to buy the new Smackdown vs Raw 2010 Video Game (Yes I was told by THQ to plug it lol).
Yours truly, Assassin.
The road stretches ahead of us as we travel towards Wrestlemania.
Im sitting in a car with Hardy and some others.... read his blog he has told everything about my current company and whereabouts, so I dont want to waste time on that.
It feels strange once again moving closer to Mania and taking another step down the path, that we as wrestlers have choosen. Everyone is looking forward to this, but still there is the fear of the day after, when its all over and the road again branches out filling our world with options, choices and challenges that we will have to conquer to get on our way to the next Wrestlemania.
I know I shouldnt think of the future, but live in the moment, but in my world Wrestlemania is the defining moment of my career, its where I prove, why I deserve to be in the spot where I am and why I should be in WWE all together. Now this may sound like I dont do anything else during the year, but its actually the direct opposit. The time between Mania's is what I defiened as the road to Wrestlemania, its in this time you earn yourself the privelidge to wretle at Mania, its in this time you prepare to go that extra mile when you enter the ring at Mania.
I remember descriping the road to Mania in my first Wrestlemania promo, it was back in 2006 and I was new crowned European Champion, management giving both me and my opponent (Roberto Rossi) a big chance here, as we both only had been in WWE for a few months, but had already started a heated feud. back to the promo I remember it being a video package, where I was walking down a dusty road, talking about, the blood sweat and tears I shed to be there, mentioning the people who helped me to get there as my then manager A.A Estrada joined me and in the end standing in front of the crossroad that is Wrestlemania, depending on what happens there you will choose what way to go, You can choose to go back to where you came from, stay where you are, take the high or low road, all this is how I experience Wrestlemania and is how I look at my road to Wrestlemania or rather to being a wrestler in the WWE.
Well Sergio is starting to yell out for a pit stop thanks to Jeff's healthy taco thingy, so I might as well head off and get some beers for the rest of the ride
see ya around
Hey guys, TJ here doing a little writing from the road to WrestleMania!!! So as you have probably noticed here at the pink and black attack, we have been kinda MIA, just wanted to send a quick apology as we all have been busy back in Canada tending to some family issues. All is well in Calgary, but it was good to get up there and spend some time with my friends and the people I consider family.
After Nattie's dad, my future father-in-law, made his appearance on RAW and questioned our alliances here in the WWE, it really made each of us take a step back and really consider where we are, and where we are headed. Needless to say, we had a long talk with pretty much the whole family, and now that everyone has had a chance to make their points, it seems like the Shawn Michaels situation is cleared up. How crazy is it that even as relative newcomers to the big time, here we are appearing at WM25 in a tag team title match!!! We all are extremely grateful for this opportunity, and regardless of the outcome just know that this match is one you do NOT want to miss. The work we have been able to do with the John Morrison, Joey Nebraska, and that other guy have done wonders for us in a very short amount of time. I can only imagine that the tag team division here in the E is about to have an extended run as a focal point of our shows, and to hold the titles will mean even that much more!
So the three of us are actually driving down to Texas and we cannot wait to get involved in some of the work up to the big day. We have not had a chance to work any of the house shows in Texas, but I am sure we will have some dates in the next day or two, nost likely get some work in with Chavo or Rey...keep a look out here for details. Also, I am pretty sure we will be at fan axxess signing autographs and taking pictures for anyone that wants to get some face time with the best young tag team in the WWE! The nerves of performing at WrestleMania haven't kicked in just yet, although I am sure they will come on rather quickly as the day draws closer...I can say, while we were home we had a chance to talk to Bret and Jim about the spectacle that is WM and how they dealt with the nerves, which really helped! We even brought back some tapes of their WM matches, and I think DH and I are going to sit and watch through them to see if we can bring back some memories of the Hart Foundation's WrestleMania history.
Somehow I got stuck in the back seat with DH driving, and unfortuantely that means Nattie has control of the radio...and don't tell her I said this, but her taste in music SUCKS!!!
I must say, I cannot wait until we get to Houston...I love traveling and seeing the country, but this trip has been nothing but lakes and corn...pretty boring if you ask me. Not to mention, I haven't really had the chance to talk to any of the guys lately and it will be good to catch up with them and get back to the normal banter we are used to. The few times I have had the chance to text one of the guys it was usually late or they were at a show, so we didnt really get to chat. All is good though, I hear from Jeff that Assassin is still a virgin and he shot me a text to let me know Arkham Asylum rawks (his word, not mine). It also seems like the guys are excited about the annual release of our polygoned clones for the Playstation and XBox, although the feelings about whether or not THQ did a good job of putting the game together seem to be mixed.
So DH just asked why I was writing a book in the backseat, told him I was blogging...he and Natalya say hello to everyone...oh lord, I hope she doesn't read it now that she knows I am writing one, she will KILL ME and probably cut off my beautiful hair! Anyways, it is time to stop and get some grub so we will catch up with you guys soon, much sooner now that we are going to be back in the loop!
WRESTLEFREAKINMANIA BABY! WOO!
Holy shit! It's 13 days from the biggest show of the year, the granddaddy etc etc i'm sure you've heard those sayings so many times already so i won't bore you with them here. I'm not here for long, Assassin has just returned my laptop after a lenghthy period, checked my history to make sure he wasn't watching some messed up porn like Sergio claims he has on now and again, it wasn't thankfully, it was some dutch pop group called aqua (man they suck).
Anyway back to the important bit, Wrestlemania! I have to be honest with you, the nerves are starting to creep in, i see guys backstage, like Ric Flair, Michael Shane (ass), Suffering and Jeff hardy and they've got these huge matches on the card, i think to myself, i'm on the pre-show card and i'm almost crapping myself, imagine how they must be feeling! For them this is another step on the ladder to the top, to legendary status, for me this is the beginning, i want to look back a year from now, be on that main card, be an established WWE superstar and say, i started somewhere, i started at the greatest show ever seen, this is the beginning of a new era for me and the WWE.
We're at a house show in Texas as i type, i'm just about to have a match with Jack Swagger, i took a look out earlier as they were letting the crowd in, this place is jam packed! It's going to be one hell of a night! Mr Swagger is about to get his ass handed to him.
I'll no doubt do another one of these before Wrestlemania, i shall leave you with this image that i saw as i arrived this evening.
Jeff Hardy teaching Michael Shane how to put Make up on.
Peace.
Again Haven't Blogged in months.
I recently lost a close friend who has been there for me for the last 7 years.
So RIP B.Ookie and today marks the rest of my life.
Wow Vince has forced me to countdown my days to the 3 Stages of Hell match. Which should be ultra boring for all you fans but hey... the boss is the boss after all
Can you believe this is only my 2nd Wrestlemania? I'm a 10 year Vet and I've only appeared at 2 grand daddy's of them all.
I don't think there has ever been so much pressure on me in the whole of my career. I've battled some of wrestlings biggest stars but still this match'll be the biggest ever.
Shane is his usual laid back self, drinking and screwing, as I'm bricking it (as my london bretren say). Maybe this is because my career is on the line in this match.
I've been in the wilderness for 5 years but I've always told everybody that I'm the best in the world. Wrestlemania will be my chance to actually prove this.
But hey if I can't have a 5 star match with Michael Shane then I've as much talent as Nova.
I'll log in tomorrow peeps
JOE OUT!!!
Busy, busy, busy. That's what things are like in the WWE right about now.
We're right around the corner from Wrestlemania 25, the granddaddy of 'em all, the showcase of the immortals, the grandest stage of them all....the most nerve wracking experience of my life.
I've performed live on Raw in a main event match, I've performed at big PPVs like Summerslam and Survivor Series, hell I've performed at Wrestlemania on the undercard....but never have I performed in one of the five big matches on an event of this magnitude, never. With all due respect to Ric he's not a young man anymore, in order for our match to be the match I know it can be we're going to need Ric's quarter of a century in experience and I'm going to have to bare the brunt of the physical work. Don't get me wrong, I have complete confidence that Ric can and will put on a fantastic showing and wow the crowd but it will not be easy. Can we do it? Will we do it? You're damn right.
Things lately in the WWE have been quiet, a lot of the guys seem to be a bit down to be frank. I'd theorize that like myself they're all worried and stressed out about Wrestlemania, this is make or break time for an awful lot of us, this show could send some of us to heights we could have never imagined....or it could end in heart ache. We're feeling the pressure. You know what though? I guarantee you that when they hit the ring, be it Assassin, Sergio Griffon, Simmons, Hansen, Edge, anyone of them, that the moment they hit the ring all of that nervousness flies out of the window and every single one of them will give the match absolutely everything they have. They're all out to steal the show.
There's been some humor backstage though, Assassin is still a straight-edge virgin, Ryan Simmons is still an offensive cross-dresser and the Texas Rattlesnake, Stone Cold Steve Austin himself has been backstage at a lot of the events. Steve appears to be going through a rough period in his personal life at the moment but he's just as good humored and entertaining as ever. His banter with 'Taker and Shawn is legendary. He's an assett to have backstage. As for a return......I don't know. Steve is pretty much finished with the business as far as I can tell but in wrestling one can never say never. Lord knows the fans would go absolutely ape-shit.
I wanna give a brief honorable mention to a guy called Jason Cooper by the way. Trust me, this guy is the shit. The dude has gone from more brands than Jimmy freaking Fatal (who is STILL a talented bloke imo) so he's never been given his time to shine but from what I've seen this guys got talent. I watched some of his TNA work which somehow got lost in the clusterfuck that is iMPACT but was impressive nonetheless. He's not a spot monkey who no-sells big moves like 99.9% of the X-Division this guy combines these flashy moves with a bit of ring savvy and an entertaining persona. From his mic work to his blogs, the guy has got undoubted charisma. Not to mention that he's a genuinely nice guy who's just been waiting for his chance to shine. I have no doubt that when he gets his shot after 'Mania he'll be a star. Who knows, this time next year I could be sitting here typing about Cooper/Hardy at 'Mania 26...never say never.
I've not much else to tell you my friends, I'm typing to you all from the magic of wireless internet in the back seat of a rental car, squeezed between the ample sized Morten Hansen and Suffering, Sergio Griffon having somehow commandeered the front seat while John Morrison takes the wheel. A diverse group to be sure. Travelling down this road gets lonely sometimes but having your wrestling brothers around you makes all of the difference. Be it Joe, Morten, Shane, I don't know where I'd be without them all. They keep me grounded, they keep me safe and despite all of the problems I've caused and had this year they've stood beside me and got me through it. I will forever be in debt to these guys and most of the others backstage, we really have to each other going as we cruise to the next show at 70 miles an hour. Wrestling is indeed an interesting business when 6'5 foot muscleheads (and not so 6'5 muscleheads) depend on each other for their emotional well-being.
I must away for now my friends, I'm hearing grumblings about the nearest grease bucket.....I must locate the nearest place one can obtain a nice healthy wrap. Tortilla bread = Life.
Later,
Jeff
Hello there WWE Universe, been too long since my last blog so I thought I'd update all of you on the goings on in the WWE. Right about now I'm sitting on my plush hotel room bed eating a nice healthy wrap having a very rare day off between shows and promotional appearences leading up to Wrestlemania so I'm going to use my time wisely and blog.
I've been working with Suffering, Flair and Shane more often than not during these house shows which has been a blessing indeed, I've worked with Joe so much this past year that we can put on a good match with our eyes closed and Shane.....well, he can put on a "5 Star Match" with Munk...'nuff said. Flair on the other hand is a lot more difficult to work with. Our personal differences haven't always been kayfabe but I have a lot of respect for Naitch and he's never taken liberties with me in the ring or acted in any way unprofessional, our differences come from our different styles of working. When I started in this business, especially in the indies, 90% of the action was called in the ring we only ever planned our the finish. Sometimes that can make for a great match but sometimes, especially for today's standards, it can be clunky and awkward. When I work with guys like Shane we prepare some spots before we even go out there and then we let some of the magic play itself out, same with Suffering. Flair is an older style worker, he likes to improvise in the ring.
We've only worked tag matches leading up to 'Mania but we're still trying to feel each other out, he's still getting used to some of my spots and I'm still getting used to calling it all in the ring. It's been hard adapting to the other's style of working but at this stage I have no doubt whatsoever that come Wrestlemenia Flair and I can put on one of the best matches of the night. Y'know what? Even at 60 I think Flair and I could quite possibly steal the show, you heard it here first.
I'd like to offer my congratulations to Assassin, today marks his first full year on the active roster. I can't say I liked Assassin from the beginning....he was hella green and (somewhat) impatient, though I was still on the lower-midcard so I said nothing. Within a month however, Assassin calmed down, became a very respectful and talented kid who I knew once he paid his dues that he was going to become something. It took a long time, months in fact, but at the Royal Rumble this year it all paid off for the kid, he joined Legacy and started his first major push into the midcard. I'm proud to call Assassin a friend of mine, I'm proud to see a young kid who actually reminds me a bit of myself at his age getting the push and attention he deserves. Ladies and gentlemen, this kid has yet to hold gold in the WWE but mark my words, he will be the Intercontinental Champion before the year is out. Despite his less than reputable father, this kid Assassin is going to be huge.
My plan tonight is to take the kid out tonight and perhaps even buy him his first beer but I fear he'd much rather stay in and watch a DVD......sigh, Shane and I have our work cut out for us.
Speaking of Shane, as many of you have probably read on the dirt sheets there's been some trouble backstage at WWE events....involving the always controversial Mickie James. Man, you all know my opinion of Mickie but.....this just takes the cake, the girl needs help, lots of it. It's probably best if I leave it at that.
I'm actually a bit nervous at present, I'm not usually a promotional tool for the WWE to use but apparently all of that has changed....they've booked me and Ric to appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live. If you want me to perform in front of 80,000 plus fans I can do it no problem, if you want me to get on the mic and whip out a promo I can do it, if you want me to dive off a twenty foot ladder onto a stack of tables, I can do it.....but outside the wrestling ring? I dunno. Some guys like Cena can do all that, some guys like Shane can extend their characters beyond the ring but I've never done it before....thankfully Ric is the best in the biz so I've got someone to hide behind but I suppose if I want to progress and climb further up the ladder I need to put up or shut up.
It's been a tough week for me, things outside the wrestling business have been weighing heavily on my mind. I've been feeling increasingly isolated, depressed and burned out for reasons unknown to me, there are certain things I'm sure are contributing and it may be the fact I'm ignoring the problems as best as I can but I remain unsure on this road to wrestlemania.
You've heard me vow to steal 'Mania, you've heard me make proclamations and you've heard me moan and complain, now it's time for me to get into the hotel's jacuzzi and rest this tired body before I inflict more pain and anguish on it tomorrow night.
Until then,
Jeff Hardy
Well, here I am. Sitting in the lockeroom here in Texas, preparing for Wrestlemania 25...exactly a year after I joined the WWE. We are currently doing a house show here in San Antonio which is scheduled to begin in less than twenty hours. Lately everything has been very frantic getting ready for the big one - Wrestlemania 25 and as I look back a year ago I wouldn't know how I would cope. But I have grown over the past year...immensely. My first match, in a 6 man tag team match, teaming with AKM and Kofi against Sphere, Showtime and Psycho Joe was a real big test, I was worried I would blow it all by botching a move or forgeting what I was meant to do but after hitting that first punch on Sphere...I never turned back.
I've worked with many different wrestlers over the past year, some good, some bad and some who taught me a whole lot. I've seen many wrestlers come and go, TNA rise...TNA fall and I've also made some great friendships along the way. It has been tough at times but through help and the will to keep keeping on...I have gotten through them.
There have been a lot of defining moments in the short career of mine so far...from when I teamed with Ric Flair at Survivor Series and being the last man standing for our team to working with Roddy Piper at Cyber Sunday but none, in my opinion, have been as defining as this years Royal Rumble. Going in to the event I had lost three straight to William Regal and a couple more at house shows. At the time I was working as a face and I hadn't really been getting over with the crowd much. After the win against Regal I felt over the moon. I thought I did well and the final Punt at the end I believe to be the turning point in my career. Later in the night I stood alongside my new mentor, Randy Orton in the newly formed Legacy.
Since that moment I have felt like I have developed well as a superstar and I hope that I continue to do so at Wrestlemania and then after it. Speaking of Wrestlemania, it is only a short period of time away and I can't believe I am going to be performing on the Grandest Stage of All against Mick Foley. I am a tiny bit dissapointed that it has been fairly quiet lately backstage and there hasn't been a real "buzz" like at the Royal Rumble but I'm sure that will come over time and until then I have to keep preparing and to make sure everything that I am involved with at Wrestlemania goes according to plan.
Well I think it is about time that I end my blog as I have a few things I have to attend to and prepare for the upcoming house show. So one year down and hopefully many more to come, many more moments to remember and more friendships to be made...I'll see y'all at Wrestlemania.
Have a nice day :D
The highs, the lows and how I got here!
14:28 pm Tuesday the 20th of December 1983 Oak park hospital Sacramento, that's where the roller coaster that is my life begun. First and only child of James and Eileen Cooper, Dad, C.E.O of Tratalic software inc, Mum a Nurse at the same hospital I was born, life was never a struggle for our family, I always had the best of everything, I was the never the boy who was bullied for the sneakers he was wearing or the pants he had on, when I was a kid all I had to do was point at something in a store and I had it there and then, though it was never my father who bought it for me, sure he paid for it but he was a busy man, he had a company to run he couldn’t waste time walking round toy stores when there was money to be made, so he said. I’m not going to sit here and diss the guy, I’ve had an amazing life and that’s most in part down to him, hell if it weren’t for my Father I wouldn’t be in this business today, My mother on the other hand was always there, I was her blue eyed boy, when I was born she never worked again, my father’s orders of course but she didn’t care, she was financially secure. She was the one who came to the ball games at junior high, who played soccer at the park, the greatest mother anyone could hope for. It was Friday July 30th 1990, a typical day, I went to school, last day before the weekend, in the middle of a lesson, my grandparents picked me up and took me home, they looked upset but didn’t say much on the drive back, I got home and Dad was there which was strange as he didn’t usually get back until 7 pm, he sat me down and told me that mum had died, he didn’t tell me the cause but I later found out she had a blood clot, I stayed with my grandparents for about a year after that, until one day Dad came to pick me up and take me home, he was a different man, he had appointed someone in his position to run the company. I always remember the day he sat me down, apologised for not being the father he could have been and promised me a fishing trip! He always made sure we had at least three a year, great times man.
As I began high school in 94 I had been watching Wrestling for about a year, the Wrestling business was just becoming a global entertainment, Hulkamania was going strong and I had watched many episodes of it with the old man, The Rock’n’Wrestling connection on MTV! I was a huge Hogan fan and had all of the merchandise, when he left after the steroid drama I was distraught but I kept watching as I had fell in love with the show, every little boys dream at the time to be a wrestler and to fight beside Hulk Hogan against Ted DiBiase and Irwin R Schyster at Wrestlemania IX in Las Vegas, that was one hell of a show, hell I still walk past Shawn Michaels, Taker and Tatanka and remember watching them go at it all those years ago, it’s awesome to think I perform on the same card as them these days, the day I share the ring with any of them will be the day I know I’ve really made. Going through high school it’s all us boys really talked about, we used to get into so many arguments about who would win up and coming matches and who would kick who’s ass if put in a match, there was a kid at school by the name of Josh, man I hated this kid, we got into this argument one day about who would in a match between Taker and Shawn Michaels, this was around 97, it all got a bit personal and being the way kids are he took a shot at my Mother, man I pounded that guy so hard he was off school for two weeks, my dad had to come to the school to discuss what had happened and I got detention for about a month solid.
After high school I got into American River College in Sacramento, taking a degree in Political Science, this is where my Wrestling career began really, Coach Paul branch was a tough guy to learn from but I owe him a hell of a lot, I went for six months undefeated on the freshman Wrestling team because of him and in my sophomore year I qualified for the State championships, I was the runner-up but my old man was so proud that he bought me my first car, A corvette woo! Although I enjoyed that style of wrestling I was always an adrenaline seeker, I used to watch guys like Rey Mysterio jr catch some serious air from a turnbuckle, the hardy boys flipping off ladders onto Edge and Christian, they’d say it set them free, flying through the air, a different high, we used to get a couple of guys together on the weekends and do some backyard matches, I was waiting for my match one day and thought I’d try some of these moves out, I was up against my good friend Brian, a stack of mats and a ladder is all we had but after that match I was hooked on the buzz of flying through the air and pulling off a big moonsault or a leg drop from a great height, it hurt like and you were sore as a you know what afterwards but the attention from the ladies made it all the more worth it. The last year of College I competed in the NCAA division but came second, as I left college I was seriously contemplating leaving my wrestling career behind and going a different direction, although I was good, I just couldn’t get to where I wanted to be and that’s the top! I had a long talk with my dad, I told him what I planned to do, he stood up walked over to me and slapped me across the face, “Don’t be so damn stupid son! Now you get out there and be the best damn wrestler you can be, make your mother proud!”
Two months later I joined Supreme Pro Wrestling in my home town ( I know it’s like I’ve never been out of Sacramento) working with guys like Mike Rayne and Sir Samurai, they did one show a month and the fan base was crazy, we used to do St Peter’s hall a lot and my old man used to come and watch the shows and we’d go for a beer with the guys afterwards, sometimes it was the hospital first then the bar. It was with SPW that I perfected the Shooting star press which I use as my finishing manoeuvre to this day, I say perfected because I botched it more than a handful of times, almost broke my damn neck doing it, almost exactly like Brock Lesnar did against Kurt Angle and I busted a guy’s ribs up too. I also invested some money into the company and whenever I’m home or near it I always pop in to see how the guys are doing, it celebrated it’s nine year anniversary in April so we had a huge hardcore show on, I was in between TNA and FCW at the time so I went down and took part, man did I get busted up but it kicked ass! Anyway we had this show on in November of 2007, we went out did the match it went great, it was a great night all in all but it was to get even better, as I was leaving the hall, someone taps me on the shoulder, I turn around and stood behind me is Jerry Jarret, he offers me a try out for TNA and of course I accepted it without even thinking about it. I jumped in the car and tore up the road until I got to my Fathers, I told him what had happened, I’ll never forget the look on his face man, he stood up gave me a huge hug and told me he was proud of me and that mum would be too. A week later after a dark match on Impact I was signed to TNA. I left SPW a 3 time SPW champion and part owner and apart from my blood sweat and tears I left some amazing people and I’ve been left with some amazing memories.
From then it’s been a whirlwind, back and forth, companies going bust, plans down the toilet, my life has been thrown around I once again contemplated leaving the business for good but luck struck a few months ago when I was resigned to FCW! I put my heart and soul into every match and it’s got me where I want to be and that’s on the flagship show of the greatest Wrestling company ever, as a small boy I dreamed of performing on TV, it may not be with Hulk Hogan but it is on WWE RAW! And I hope there’s kids out there dreaming to one day do what I’m doing and I hope they stick with it because there’s no better feeling than flying through the air in front of thousands of people in the arena and millions watching worldwide knowing that I’m not only making my parents proud but also myself. Cooper creates?
Cooper is creating a dream!
Peace!
Hello Chavo here and I got a couple things to say before us Latino Legacy will be the new tag team champions. Hart Dynasty if you think your going to steal our championships you got another thing coming. I will make sure that you will regret coming in the ring with the Latino Legacy. I respect what you doing though ese. Trying to honor your relatives is a great thing. Maybe the billion dollar princess owes your family of something. Either way I will make sure that we will be champions for our family. And with all that said I hope your at your best because we will not give till we have those belts around our waist. Adios mi hombres and bye Hart Dynasty!
Australians! Pythons and Wrestlemania!
We're on the road to Wrestlemania baby! woo! We're touring Texas at the moment, house shows galore. We've just arrived in Amarillo from Houston, 9 hours in Sergio Griffons clapped out Ford, would have taken 8 hours but Assassin can't hold his water. I usually get some sleep on the road but these two guys are hyped about Wrestlemania, we are all i suppose so they kept me awake. This will be my first wrestlemania competing and i've got some nerves but i just have this urge to get out there and show the world what Jason Cooper can do.
We were on the road for about 4 hours when we had to pull over for the third time at a rest stop, me and sergio wait in the car as Assassin uses the rest room, two minutes later the door flies open and Assassin jumps in the car as white as a ghost. A Python! A python! he shouts at the top of his voice. Apparently he goes into the rest room, closes the cubicle door and sits down, looks down at his feet as Python slithers into his cubicle from the one next to him, man i'd have love to have been there to see how quickly he got out of that cubicle.
A personal note here to my fans. I want to thank you all for your support over the years as i've gone from promotion to promotion but after a few meetings with Vince and Shane Mcmahon i feel i've got stability now and i'm sticking with WWE for as long as i can, i've officially been signed to the Raw brand so that's where all you Cooper fans can watch Cooper create controversy.
I'm starting to like these blogs and with Mania on it's way i'll be commenting on some of the big matches on the card over the next few weeks as we travel through Texas, YEEHAW!
They still say that right?
Hau kola everyone. It has been many seasons now since I was last in the WWE and I have missed my Little Braves dearly. A day doesn't go by that I do not think of the support you have all shown me throughout my long and storied career. I thank the Great Spirit every single day for great fans like I have.
I have been preparing for my return to WWE intensely. Every morning I enter the sweat lodge built by my grandfathers and sit and meditate as the sacred smokes fill the air and I commune with the spirits to ask them for their strength and guidance so I can be fully prepared for battle in the confines of the squared circle of WWE.I am quite blessed that Bear has given me his strength, Wolf his cunning, Deer his speed and Fox his intelligence. With my sacred animal brothers' help, I will ascend to the top of WWE.
After my time in the sweat lodge, I head to the gym and do whatever portion of my workout regime is scheduled for that particular day. I am usually at the gym for three to four hours before I head out to spar in the ring at my personal gym on the ranch. I spenmd many hours there, honing my skills and practicing new holds and moves. One of the problems with being a grizzled veteran like I am is that everyone else has seen hours and hours of your matches and have a pretty good inkling as to what you'll do. I need to keep my head in the game to keep trying to work new things into my move set. I have some things I believe will surprise everyone.
In the evening, I spend time with my wife and children until they go to sleep. Once the family is slumbering, I spend many hours studying tapes of the current crop of WWE stars, analyzing them so when I come to face any one of them, I will have a plan of battle already formulated and ready to execute.
My debut comes in but a few short weeks, at the biggest stage of them all...WrestleMania 25. Grated, it is a pre-show match but that is fine. I wil still be at Mania. That's all that truly matters, isn't it?
Ki-ka-wah-pah-min mino, my friends. I will see you all at the arenas following WrestleMania.
YIYIYIYI YI YI YI!
