Everyone complains about not getting an opportunity.

I used to be one of those people.

Now, I’m hungry, jumping at the bit for more and more opportunities.

No matter how big or small the opportunity is; you have to make the absolute most of it!

Mike Morgan gave me a shot doing commentary within pro wrestling at ACE. That led to BWO, NWA on Fire and WSU spots doing play-by-play. I got to call four totally different companies with four totally different products.

Snapmare.com gave me the opportunity to write a column for that particular website. That led to writing press releases for ACE and feeling confident to start my Blog of Professionalism.

Mo Sexton and Jay Lethal gave me an opportunity to interview them for the start of my Hardway Podcast. That led to me interviewing Bill Carr, Lenny Leonard, Alex Wright, amongst a plethora of unknown, yet extremely talented, competitors within wrestling.

I started #PROFESSIONALISM for the simple fact that I had an opportunity to counter-balance the air of Beyond Wrestling. That led to me really believing in what being a professional is all about and “living the gimmick”.

Seeing is believing; it is the absolute truth. I was given small opportunities to attempt something and I made the ABSOLUTE MOST of it and continue to do it. People complain about never being given a chance to shine. Again, I used to be one of those people. Now, I stand tall and try different things. The world is a scary place and you have to overcome your fears to try something.

Being able to work with both Beyond Wrestling and WSU have given me the opportunity to handle some serious creative business within the new regime of WSU. That led to…

Only time will tell. Am I scared? You are damn correct. Am I ready for the challenge? Absolutely.

I’ve basically been non-existant over the past week or so. With no Hardway Podcast this past week, all I will let the world know is that when the podcast comes back next week, Tim Hughes and I will be discussing the sale of Women Superstars Uncensored, what the future holds for WSU, and quite possibly, the new CFO of WSU, Nick Santos, on with me. This will be a groundbreaking episode.

Literally, this has been an overwhelming week for me. With a lot of doubts and uncertainty going into this week, I’ve been stressed out like a mug. For those that don’t know, I’m normally a serious person to begin with, but combine unnecessary stress with a little insanity, that has been my week. Quite prolifically, many people have complained about my commentary from the iPPV of WSU and all I can say is that I wasn’t able to separate the major things going on over the past week and my work at the booth. The Mic has been ribbing me about it, but it is just, even if it does gnaw at me a tad. All I will say is that when it comes down to it, I am still one of the best commentators in the game right now, and the next time WSU runs, I will be a positive contributor to the footage, not a detractor.

Other than that, nothing really major has been happening in my life, other than the fact that I am going to see a man that was a major influence on the Hardway Podcast being created tomorrow night at Scotty’s Comedy Club in Millburn, NJ.

The man…

The myth…

The legend…
