It's been awhile since I have written my thoughts for the web page. Although I can't help but to give a big compliment to Michelle Starr, one of the promoters of ECCW out of Canada. I hired Michelle to have his ring and some of his talent brought out to Seattle, Washington for an event I helped do the booking for, Jonathan Knudson's PWA promotion.

Michelle is originally out of Southern California, and worked locally and in Tijuana for some time. One of my former students Bulldog Sampson arranged for Michelle to wrestle in Canada for Al Tompko many years ago. Evidently Michelle stayed and now has a family there, and is part owner of a promotion, and I doubt he will ever come back to SoCal.

I was impressed with how well he takes care of his wrestlers and how well they return the favor and take care of him. He pretty much runs things the way I did awhile back, with an out of sight, out of mind attitude. He uses wrestlers that help him. In the past he, too, has had his share of problems with individuals that when they don't get their way they turn on him with lies and bull to try to stir others into following them. None the less, those that are with him are a good bunch of hard working individuals that seem to apreciate what's given to them. I was impressed with Michelle Starr's wrestlers he brought in from Canada as well as the locals from the Washington area. The two gals on the show were awesome and couldn't believe they actually helped with the ring after the show was done.

Special thanks for the fine work the talent I took from Southern California.

I am looking to change things a little here at the EWF, as some of our students seem to be getting too comfortable. Till next time.
