Thank You

I've tried a few times to be clever and verbose with this like I'm prone to doing a few times already. And as much as I'd like to blame fatigue, the trauma of concussions past, or some early onset dementia ... the fact remains is that I don't have any witty words, here.

So, thank you.

Last Friday - prior to the start of the Blaze Pro Wrestling: Anarchy in April event - I was "lovingly ambushed" by the entire crew and roster, called to the ring and presented with a very classy plaque, celebrating my goofy self for surviving 30 Years in the Wrestling Industry.

To say I was moved would be an understatement.

I'm sure that there is / will be video footage of the moment. So brace yourself to see a giant man struggling to keep it together for a good minute or so.

It was a lovely surprise - and this is from a guy who famously hates being surprised.

Anyways. 

To Billy. To Diamond. To Tony.

To everyone who works with BPW. To every one of the trainees and veterans who show up to training every week and works their butts off to get better - inspiring Me to Stay Better. 

To everyone who's ever shared a ring with me- yeah, even those of you who think I'm a jerk, a Liberal Leftie, or just the shits in general - you know who you are, enjoy your podcasts.

To the people in attendance last Friday, hell to everyone who's ever bought a ticket either to explicitly see me (or begrudgingly stayed once they saw I was on the card).

To my family. To my loved ones. To my little girl.

Thank you.

I'm not done yet. The long, winding road is getting closer to it's destination. But that final stop isn't here yet.

Looking forward to getting my boots back on and doing this all again.

That said, let's make it official with an actual plug:

June 27th, 2025
BLAZE PRO WRESTLING

Winnipeg, MB
440 Tissot St

MAIN EVENT for the PROVINCIAL CHAMPIONSHIP
"The Zombie Hunter" MENTALLO vs "The Outlaw" ADAM KNIGHT

Mentallo and I have trained together, travelled the roads together, flown to foreign countries together,  battled on two different continents dozens of times over the past quarter-century. Mentallo remains one of the greatest athletes and wrestlers I know and one of my favorite opponents.

The truest lesson I've learned in thirty years? Nobody deserves anything in the wrestling business. 

So, I have two months to make damned sure I've earned this opportunity to shine at Mentallo's level once again.

Stay Tuned.
