The Craps Shoot

It is time for me to clear the cobwebs, break a 2 and a half month silence, and address you fans of Old Time Wrestling, for the last time. Yes the posting you saw on The Old Time Wrestling Facebook Fan Page is 100% accurate, I, “The Highroller” Michael Anthony Busciacco Jr., have resigned from my active duties in Old Time Wrestling as of Sunday, August 22nd, 2010. I have choosen this options in regards to a number of personal matters, It was an extremely hard decision for myself to come to, however in the end after many consultations with my family and friends, I have decided that it is best decision for me, and I will stand by it, I have no regrets, or think any less of myself for this decision. It has been a great 4 year career for me in Old Time Wrestling, starting out as a referee in June 2006, to becoming “The Highroller” Michael and having my last on record match with Craig Nash, June 5th, 2010. I have nothing to be ashamed about with my career, I was a 2x time Old Time Wrestling Junior Heavyweight Champion, I’ve managed a number a men who have held all 3 active titles in Old Time Wrestling, I wrestled my way to the finals of OTW’s: Sole Survivor 2009, I was the winner of The OTW Junior Heavyweight Battle Bowl 2010, I’ve soared with the eagles and slizzered with the snakes, I was former OTW’s Senior Offical, Color Commentator alongside Danny Miles during OTW’s short lived Weekly Live stream, also co-host of OTW’s Wednesday Night’s On The Mat. It was living out a dream for me and I don’t regret a single minute of my career.

In my last months in Old Time Wrestling a lot of changes came over me, I didn’t feel like the same person, It was like being on a long road trip and not knowing where you were gonna end up. The feeling of power and intigrity that I once felt each and every time I stepped through that curtain was long, long gone. This past year in Old Time Wrestling, things didn’t feel like they use to, still the matches where increible, but the emotion wasn’t there. The crowds were pouring in heavy one week and looking weak the next. In Professional Wrestling, it’s not the size of the crowd that makes the event, but the emotion they show. I didn’t feel that emotion anymore being targeted towards me, I lost my edge, my keen managing skills, I lost self respect, I lost self esteem, when I wake up every morning I look at myself in the mirror, and I didn’t see “The Highroller” anymore. It was like I had reinvented myself without actually knowing it. Every once in awhile people change, sometimes for the worse, sometimes for the better, I felt like I had run my course with “The Highroller” all the gambling, all the horrible remarks I made, all the wonderful life style I lived didn’t matter to me anymore. This past year I was very fortunete to meet the most incredible person I could ever meet, my wonderful girlfriend Amanda, she taught to love, she taught me to respect life and everything around it. She showed me the light in a lot of ways I thought I would never see. I love her and she is a part of me forever and ever.

This past season in Old Time Wrestling was so out of place I found myself not having fun anymore. Despite how we appeared to together in front of you fans, behind the curtain I could not stand IM Smarter, The man is an accomplished wrestler, no one can deny that, but his attitude truely lives up to his name “Smart”. His remarks and his statements, which he believes are well thoughtout and well oriented are anything but the truth. IM Smarter, on a personal note, I don’t know why I never seemed to appear “On Your Level”. Times that you neglected to include me in things, acted like I wasn’t present during your affairs when I was, and just your stuck up attitude are long forgotten by me, I hope you do accomplish what you set to do with your life, but remember along the way, the people that did go out of there way to help you in times you needed it, because in the end, no one will be there for you when you most need it. John Graber, you were my last prospect, I thought and still do think the world of you. I know you will be the future in this business, keep learning and being the strong charactor that you are, I will miss you, and hope to one day see you walk out onto the big stage infront of millions and millions of people. As I leave there are many other people I would like to personally thank, As much as this business is so strick on kayfabe, but I feel as I need to break out of my shell to express me true feelings to the great men I’ve had the honor of working with over the years.

“Sir”: You were not just a friend, but a true friend, true blue to the end. Took time to listen to what I had to say.
Always took your time with me in training with me and pushed me until I got it right. You gave me great advice and I used it to be in the shape that I am in now. You are true to the end and I will miss you the most.

“Awesome” Eddie Hawkins: My sparring partener, each and every training session you were my crash dummy, and took everything I dished out with heart and devotion . You never complained and were always in high spirits, I wish you all the luck in the world, and know you will have a great future.

“Pretty Boy” Brain Johnson: Always you can make me laugh, always you know how to turn a lousy time to a great time just by having the incredible personality that you have. You ooze charisma and will always be a star as far as I’m concerned, thank you for always being you.

“Full Throttle” Chris Bohren: Master of Everything in the squared circle. You move like a bullet and have so much athletic skill, you took that skill and took me though some of my best matches. You have all that it takes to make it big. Thank you for all the tremendous training and walkthroughs you helped me with along the way, I extremely apperiate it.

“The Thriller” Andd Bivans and Ms. Yvonne: You both are so great, it was a pleasure working with both of you both inside and outside the ring, we had lots of fun in the locker room goofing around between matches, I’ll never forget all those times.

Craig Nash: Friend till the end, out of every man I had the priviledge to manage, you and I just stuck together like glue, we’ve had so many moments inside that ring that were truely unforgettable and can only be cemented in our minds forever. You will always be big man both outside and inside and a great friend.

The Miles Brother, Danny and Matty: The brothers that showed me to not care about the negative and live for the positive,you brought me out of my shell and made me the man that I am today. We have the best times every time we got together and I hope to have many more down the line.

Rob Espada: The only man I could talk about wrestling with 24/7, yes we are marks till the end of time.

“Glamourous” George Zlotnicki: Heart of Gold, you truely were there every time I needed to talk about something deep. And told me to keep my head up and become stronger, thank you for always being there.

Jim Molineaux: Thank you for all the oppertunities and the hook up with UWC, you were a great mentour and trainer, and always willing to talk about anything.

Ed Atlas: Despite the road we all went down and the way it ended. You always truely were out to find my best interest. You are pro wrestling and everything that it is meant to be. I will never forget all your advice and all your training. I may not see eye to eye with you on everything, but hey, were two completely different people and that’s what this world is all about. Everyone has a purpose in life to fufill and I think both came out better in the end.

It was a great 4 years that I wouldn’t trade for anything, I worked with and met a lot of great people through out this entire experience and the good times will never fade away.

Last but not least, despite remarks I’ve made about all of you. The dedicated fans that spent their hard earned money to come out each and every week to see us, no matter if the building was to hot, to cold, in the snow, flooded, the ring a mess, the sound system not working, I thank you all, You helped me live out my dream, where you threw trash at me or cheered me on you will all be a part of “The Highroller”, thank you so much for you dedication and your support each and everytime I stepped through that curtain.

Before I close I once heard a quote that was so true, so enlightening to every pro wrestler that has ever had the priviledge of stepping through those ring ropes, former Multiple Time NWA Heavyweight and former King Of World Wrestling Entertainment, “Hansome” Harly Race, Upon receiving his 2004 World Wrestling Entertainment Hall Of Fame Induction: “There’s Not A Better Spot On Earth, Then Under Those Bright Lights” I was under that bright light and those words couldn’t be anymore right.

One Last Time:
I Live The Wonderful Life(And You Don’t!)
I Am “The Highroller” Michael Busciacco
Signing Off From The Garden State

Good Day Everyone, It is I, the man who can hit a jackpot on 5 machines in a line in one day, the man who sits ringside for the best prize fights Las Vegas has to offer, and the man who was once wearing strips and now wears tights, “The Highroller” Michael Busciacco, with a special edition of this weeks Craps Shoot, “The History Of Sole Survivor”. Last January I enjoyed delivering “The History Of Battle Bowl”, I figured, hey, I’ve been to the first two of these great events aswell, why not tell the uneducated fans what this great event is all about. It is another OTW orginal concept. Very unusal, yet exciting, and when it comes to the event itself, you never know what will happen. All the wrestlers on the OTW roster who choose to take part in this event, have no time to prepare, have no time to tape study, have no time to do their homework, have no idea when there match will take place all for once simple reason, it is a pull of their name. Yes every participant name is simply written down on a piece of paper, crumbled up, and placed into a plastic bin. When the event begins, all the men leave their lockerrooms, dressed fully, and ready for action. The General Manager Jim Molineaux travels around The Monster Factory and chooses a random fan to choose two pieces of paper from the bin, first Molineaux will read the first name of the wrestler who will be wrestling, followed by the reading of a second name. The despite the mens relationship, they must battle, whether they are dear friends or bitter enemys, they must a complete all out wrestling match in order to advance in The Sole Survivor single elimination Tournement. The man who wins, must be prepared to wrestle again, the man who loses unfortunely must hit the showers, cause his day is over. Now in the past two years of the event the rules were altered from the first year to the second due to the hold up of the OTW Heavyweight Championship at the time. However the orginal concept was taken on with 16 men, after the drawing of the first 8 matches and the 8 winners advancing. The names of the winners are put back into the bin. Then that is followed by the drawing of the final Sole Survivor match, as a fan now gets to draw 4 random names at a time, then another 4 random names, those 4 random men drawn first must the form a 4 man team, followed by the other 4 men. This all procedes to an 8 man elimination tag. Now the teams stay a unit until thoughout the match, however it one side is completly eliminated and there are still remaining memebers on the other side, those men then must have either a 4 way, 3 way, or 1 on 1 contest until their is only one man standing victorious. That man is deemed the Sole Survivor. Last year due the Championship being vacated at the time, the event was altered to a single elimination 4 round tournement to crown the new champions, however the fans still got choose the matches for every round until the final round. After the past two years of being such a sucessful event, this year we will be presenting our 3rd installment, we will be returning to our 1st year concept of 8 matches and and the final Sole Survivor 8 man tag, however this year, seeing as we currently have an OTW Heavyweight Champion, CK Cross, this year we will be presenting a Speical Night Event, following Sole Survivor and the man who wins Sole Survivor earlier in the day, will get a guranteed title shot againist CK Cross at this Night Event. It will indeed be interesting, 16 men on the OTW roster, including myself, have to strive to survive for a chance to become the OTW Heavyweight Champion. But before I get ahead of myself let’s go back in time as I deliver the results of the past 2 Sole Survivors:

Sole Survivor 1: Little dusty on the exact date, however I know it was July 2008, and also at the time was boardcasted live on our short lived video stream of Weekly Live Event on streamingmartialarts.com, Yours truely and Danny Miles were calling the action. Besides the matches other highlights saw Matt Walsh supposely win $500 dollars of my money, slamming the then unslamable New Jersey Strong Man Steve Adzima, and also yours truely taking a hiatus from OTW, not giving into Jim Molineaux’s demands that I honor my contract to be his slave, after not attending a strap match with Estebon a few weeks earlier, however I decided before I left to lay Molineaux out with the chair shot heard round the world, and start on a road that I try to tend to forget, but anyway now onto the listing of the matches:

In the first 8 hand drawn matches here is how it panned out:

Matt Miles defeated Irish Mike
Project X defeated Michael Francelino
Shane Hagadrone defeated Tiger McAdams
Bazooka Joe defeated “The Thriller” Andd Bivans
“Gorgeous” Greg Hogya defeated Estebon.
Sir Gaylord Fauntleroy defeated “Pretty Boy Brian Johnson
Anthony Digati defeated IM Smarter
Mitch Franklin defeated Mr. Atlantic City Sal Defalco

Then those victors were put onto two 4 sided teams and here they were:
Greg Hogya, Sir Gaylord Fauntleroy, Project X, and Anthony Digati vs. Shane Hagadrone, Mitch Franklin, Bazooka Joe, and Matt Miles.

I’m a little dusty on the order of eliminations, however through think and thin it would be “Gorgeous” Greg Hogya who would become The 1st Sole Survivor. This was the last summer in which OTW would run through consider the heat wave that would endure and come to the decision that Old Time Wrestling would not have their Weekly Live Event from June to September, to give our loyal fans a chance to enjoy their summer, it was also decided that Sole Survivor would be the perfect event to close out what was now becoming the OTW wrestling seasons. Now lets move onto last years edition, one I actually like to not remember, however for the sake of you fans I will review it. Going into the event, 2 weeks prior during a controversal match between then Champion Craig Nash and “Pretty Boy” Brian Johnson, after and illegal exchange from Craig Nash’s father, it was decided the title would be held up and the man who won Sole Survivor would be crowned the new champion after wrestling 4 times in 1 day in a 4 round single elimination tourenment. The fans where once again the match makers and here is how it all went down. I ofcourse forced into this after being floored by Craig Nash after a misunderstanding, I decided that I had some aces up my selve to get back the OTW Heavyweight Title and this time have it around my waste, I may have failed, but in the end I learned from the experience, and heck I’m still sucessful and I’m entering again this year, and this year I won’t make any mistakes. Once again though I’m getting ahead of myself, lets review the matches:

1st Round:
CK Cross defeated Sir Gaylord Fauntleroy
“The Highroller” Michael Busciacco defeated IM Smarter
“Pretty Boy” Brian Johnson defeated Dan De Man
Matt Miles defeated Luis “The Punisher” Martinez
Adam “Aces” Chandler defeated “Glamourous” George Zlotnicki
“Awesome” Eddie Hawkins defeated Michael Francelino
Con Or Gello(”Full Throttle” Chris Bohren) defeated “The Thriller” Andd Bivans
Danny Miles defeated Irish Mike

2nd Round:
“The Highroller” Michael Busciacco defeated Con Or Gello(”Full Throttle” Chris Bohren)
Danny Miles defeated Adam “Aces” Chandler
CK Cross defeated Matt Miles
“Pretty Boy” Brian Johnson defeated “Awesome” Eddie Hawkins

3rd Round:
“The Highroller” Michael Busciacco defeated Danny Miles
“Pretty Boy” Brian Johnson defeated CK Cross

Final Round:
“Pretty Boy” Brian Johnson defeated Luis “The Punisher” Martinez after “The Highroller” Michael Busciacco opted to reliquesh his spot, “Pretty Boy” Brian Johnson was crowned The New Old Time Wrestling Heavyweight Champion.

I will not go into details of what happened after that match as it seems a blur. But anyway, it is Old Time Wrestling’s honor to once again present to you fans this great event in it’s now 3rd installment. To be followed by the Final Night Event of the Old Time Wrestling Season. The best thing I see about this whole event, is letting the great fans, get involved and have fun, despite all the horrible things I say about you people, I still have a heart, I may dipise you all, but I do respect that fact that you loyal people, spend your hard earned money every week and come out and see us Old Time Wrestling Superstars do what we do best and that is wrestle.

This is your last chance to check out what Old Time Wrestling is all about before the Summer hits, don’t miss out on all the action. Be There June 5th, 2010!

Ah another tremendous weekend, between flying up to Jersey and back to the Bahamas, it was from pillar to post exciting, unpredictable, and hey not only one but straight victories in one day for “The Highroller”. You know I don’t like the fact that our so called General Manager and the homeless man feel it is their duty to make us hard training wrestler pull automatic double duty because of the lack of commited talent in Old Time Wrestling, with Zlotnicki still of the shelf, the departure of James Pasquale, and The Miles Brothers, it has been a struggle for us to fill out an entire wrestling card for you fans, well as they say when it comes to double mint gum, double your pleasure, double your fun. I did what was asked and wow two tremendous victories for yours truely and my main man IM Smarter. It has been one fantastic ride after another this season in Old Time Wrestling, however even the most exciting rides must take a season break. Well in 2 weeks, that is the definite plan for all the talent in Old Time Wrestling. Yes after the 5th of June OTW like every school in the country goes on Summer vacation. But were not going out on our backs no, we promise to deliver to you, all our dedicated fans, a day and night event to remember for ages. In two short weeks, after our Memorial day off, we come back with full force, with Sole Survivor, An event so unpredictable the wrestlers have no way to prepare themselves for who they face because the power of match making is put into the palm of your hand. All the contenders who choose to enter Sole Survivor, have their names written down on a piece of paper and then are put into a bin and shaken up, then General Manager Jim Molineaux travels around the arena picking a random fan to draw two names from that bin, all the wrestlers await outside the lockerroom to see if their name is called. When both names are drawn, despite the relationship between the two men, they must face one on one to a deceive winner. The winner will advance in the tournment to the final Sole Survivor match, and the loser is sent to the showers. Last years yours truely made it to the finals, I faced friends and I faced foes. You never know this year I could be facing “The Thriller” Andd Bivans, or I could be facing Bazooka Joe. I will have no clue, but that won’t stop me for the insentive this year is that the man who Sole Survives gets a title shot at the reigning Heavyweight Champion CK Cross. It is a lucky chance for anyone on the OTW roster to get a crack at the title, all they have to do is survive. I don’t know what to exspect, however I compare this to a simple game of blackjack, as long as I count my cards right, I’ll always be a winner at the end. Hope to see all you fans come out and see “The Highroller” break the bank in OTW.

So as you know the best of 5 series between “Full Throttle” Chris Bohren and the next OTW Junior Heavyweight Champion “The Wild Thing” John Graber came to a sudden hault this past weekend. After being tied 1 to 1 in the series, your down home, moonshine drinking, bumpkin, and the man who lady’s melt over, who has had offers to appear on the cover of Teen Magizine, The Wild Thing engaged in a speical Out of the Ring match, the first man to knock the other out of the ring with both feet touching the floor would be declared the winner. Well between and arguement with the referee and myself, I clearly missed who hit the floor first, as both man fought tooth and nail and knocked eachother to the floor. I assure you after reviewing a tape I stick to my guns and proclaim that Bohren touched first, although once again using the power they have, the GM and the guy who cuts in line at the soup kitchen have declared the match a draw thus tieing the series again at 2 to 2, there will now be no need for a 5th match, just one more to culminate at our last night event on June 5th, and what a stipulation that has been chosen. A 20 minute Iron Man Match, yes for 20 solid minutes these men must face off, and at the end of that 20 minutes the man, who has the most decisions in the match whether they be by pinfall, countout, submission, or DQ, will be declared the winner and the Undisputed Brand New Old Time Wrestling Junior Heavyweight Champion. And as unfair as it sounds to be, the crybabies have proclaimed that I tend to interject myself in “The Wild Things” matches to much, that during the entire duration of this contest, I will be handcuffed to the man I have extreme dislike for General Manager Jim Molineaux. You know I didn’t know this so called upper management likes to treat it’s employees like pisoners, As much as I don’t interfere in my protege’s matches, I will concur with this. After all “The Wild Thing” as already proven time and time again, he is not only the lady’s choice, he is his own choice. He will be the next OTW Junior Heavyweight Champion mark my words on it. Bohren, you’ve had a lucky year holding onto that title, but it’s time for you to go back to what you do best, feeding your pigs and milking your cows, for 20 long minutes, “The Wild Thing” is gonna destroy every bone in that skinny body of yours and prove that he is not only the better Jr. Heavyweight, not only the better wrestler, but The Better Man. Start counting your chickens, your hens, and your roosters, cause there gonna be in the pot come June 5th. Lady’s go to the one hour photo and grab all the film you can get, because “The Wild Thing” is gonna deliver the kodak moments of a lifetime, and I can gamble right now and say the odds are highly in his favor, as I always say “The Highroller” never makes a gamble unless he knows he’s gonna win!

Well another week, another Craps Shoot, I am sorry to disapoint all you loyal readers out there that after June 5th, The Craps Shoot will also be going on temporay hiatus, as I will be moving to my Summer residence in Atlantic City and enjoying sun, gambling, relaxation, partying, clubbing, seeing my family, spending time with my lovely girl, and all the great things that Summer has to offer. Next week, you fans will be treated to a speical edition of The Craps Shoot, as I lay out “The History Of Sole Survivor” to give all our new fans an insight into what the last two years of this great event had to offer as we enter our 3rd annual event this coming year. For all the up to date news check out www.oldtimewrestling.net and for all you facebookers out there, match sure to check out our page for behind the scenes news, and all the up to date information about Old Time Wrestling, until then the tables are calling my name, craps here I come, “COMING OUT!”

I Live The Wonderful Life(And You Don’t!)
I Am “The Highroller” Michael Busciacco
Signing Off From The Bahamas

Good day all you unfortunate people out there, it is I the man who’s shaken hands with Donald Trump, Steve Wynn, Wayne Newton, and Frank “Lefty” Rosenthal, “The Highroller” Michael Busciacco, Coming to you with this weeks edition of the most exciting blog that draws everyone to www.oldtimewrestling.net and is excusively uploaded on Old Time Wrestlings Fan Page on Facebook, The Craps Shoot. Well it’s all boiling down, I’m preparing myself for my move to Atlantic City for the Summer, and Old Time Wrestling is preparing to deliver to you the finest Professional Wrestling in the country before it closes out it’s season. Yes from June 12th, 2010 to September 4th, 2010 there will be no Weekly Live Event, as Old Time Wrestling will be taking a well deserved Summer break. Remember though The Monster Factory Professional Wrestling School will still run Birthday Parties and still be accepting students and have training hours. I of course will be doing my usual Summer, gambling in all the fine casinos Atlantic City has to offer and living the night life as the lights shine throughout the entire skyline. This season in Old Time Wrestling was unforgetable, we saw The Heavyweight Title change 4 times and maybe once more before the season ends, keep your eyes open CK Cross, you never what can happen when you face the man across the squared circle from you, but I’ll get to that later. I have a lot of ups and downs with how my season went, but I think I’ll save that for another Craps Shoot, Today fans, I won’t be shilling future OTW events, recaping this pasts weekends OTW Weekly Live Event, or even promoting my Fan Apperication BBQ for you fans at next weeks Weekly Live Event. No, there is only one thing I want to talk about, infact it’s not a thing, it’s a person. A person who I thought was my friend, my confidant, someone who I could depend on, Craig Nash.

Craig Nash, I’m not mad, I’m hurt. Since October of 2008 when I flew you out to Las Vegas, first class may I add, had a limo pick you up at the airport, had the concierge of the Bellagio escort you to my villa, sat you down, had my personal suite butler eccomadate everyone of your requests, and then shook your hand, I not only made a business deal, I made a true friend. After what was a Project failure, I knew you had everything that he was missing, you had wrestling in your heart and in your sole, and you needed guidence. I saw dollar signs and you saw fame. I guaranteed, that with in 6 months of your debute, you would be The Heavyweight Champion, and that did deliver. I feel like everything I promised to you I did deliver in the best way I could. Now after a year and a half of always being side by side, conquring the competition of Old Time Wrestling together, working with others, merging with The Platinum Club, having little hurdels along the way, but we paved them all over. This past weekend you decided to truely make your bed and lie in it. I don’t know what is going on in that thick head of yours, but I’m not gonne beat my own head over it. Craig, following the event this past weekend, I have and I state on record that I have severed ties as your manager, as your advisor, and on a personal note as your friend. You want to go off on your own and be your own destiny, that is fine by me. The professional thing to do would’ve been to tell me in person instead of all these past weeks of playing mind games with myself and IM Smarter. Usually when I let someone go I wish them the best of luck in whatever they pursue, however I wish you nothing but the worst luck as now instead of a dear friend, you’ve made an enemy for life. No one has ever pinned you in your OTW career, well I may be gearing myself up to be the first. I know everything about, maybe even more then you do yourself. With 3 events to go, I suggest you question yourself now as to whether you want to stick by your decision. I personally hope my name gets drawn againist you at Sole Survivor, because I know you’ll be to afraid to sign a match with me before that. Nash, this is now beyond personal, and there will be no second chance come this time around.

I Live The Wonderful Life(And You Don’t)
I Am “The Highroller” Michael Busciacco
Signing Off From The Bahamas

Good day to all, fantastic isn’t it? A day filled with such joy and happiness, yes today will be a great day for me, I “The man who can” “This man who risks it all and wins it all” “OTW’s most finest and classiest manager/wrestler/former and most talented referee ever” “The Highroller” Michael Busciacco, is back, with a new outlook, a new hair style, and a brand new attitude baby. You know people tend to think I was embrassed, humilated, and afraid to be seen in public. Oh you would not believe the rants and raves I recieved from the Bahamma islands when I returned to my residence last week, greeted by many photographers, all wanting to get a snap shot of my hair style. 45 and I count correctly 45 local and national magaizines have ask me to do a pictorial, all the women have attempted to get their hands on me. People apporch me from every place, pit bosses have doubled, tripled, and even quadurpled my comps. “Pretty Boy” Brian Johnson, all I have to say is “THANK YOU”. I am a new man, new ambitions, new mountains to climb. I am the reinvented “The Highroller”. Gambling night and day, staying in the finest villas and suites, living the wonderful life as I always do, while so called people who think they run OTW, that hairy, smelly, dirty man, who lives in a cardboard box and eats food out of dumpster wollows and runs their mouth off of how jealous he is of me, I really could care less. Old Time Wrestling has exactaully 4 more live events left in the season and unlike last year I’m going out in a blaze of glory with all my men that I represent. I will never let all the bias actions of the stupid rules of Old Time Wrestling get the better of me. I love Professional Wrestling and win, lose, or draw, I will keep the action coming. All men want to be me, it’s no secret. Our ring announcer Boomer wants to be me, the bald fan with the laughing gas injected daughter wants to be me. It’s all jealously that comes from you fans, and I tell you what I love soaking it all up. Old Time Wrestling is a great place, we got what professional wrestling has been lacking both independent and nationally. We provide the best, so don’t waste your money on those lacky promotions who give you a horrible performance. Come out and witness true wrestling, that is so unpredictable, you gotta be there every week to see what happens!

Being “The Highroller” is a busy job, but it’s my passion in life. Whether I’m on the strip in Las Vegas or on the boardwalk in Atlantic City, I give a presence that makes everyones jaw drop. People can mock me, people can laugh at me, but in the end I have the last laugh. With all this said in done make sure you make your presence known at these last weeks of OTW Weekly Live Event and of course “The 3rd Annual Sole Survivor” to see me go out in a blaze of glory, thank you to all that support me, and to those who don’t, I could care less.

I Live The Wonderful Life(And You Don’t)
I Am “The Highroller” Michael Busciacco
Signing Off From The Bahammas

Ladies and Gentalmen,
Due to unforseen hardships, There will be no offical Craps Shoot this week, “The Highroller” Michael Busciacco has decided this week to temporarly secluded himself from the out spoken public following these past weekend events in Old Time Wrestling. He has however asked me one of his closest confidants and I remain nameless, to address you fans with this offical statement and I quote:

“This past weekend I mustn’t let myself down, true I have lost my hair, but it will grow back, all I know is that myself, IM Smarter, and “The Wild Thing” John Graber were treated very unfairly and the actions of the so called “higher officals” were completely biased and not justified by the offical rules of Professional Wrestling. We are offically stating as of now, that if General Manager Jim Molineaux and that homeless, dirty, trash smelling man who likes to run his mouth don’t want to follow the rules, then we will not either. It is now what we call come down to only one word “WAR” and when war breaks out there is no peace, no rules, and violence is bound to happen. This is a pre warning to all wrestlers, management, and staff of Old Time Wrestling, we are not taking any crap anymore, these last 4 weeks in Old Time Wrestling are now deemed complete all out war weeks. Every event you never know what we will do, or when will do it, or who it will done to, but to make one thing clear, it will not be for the weak of heart”

I WILL BE BACK!
“THE HIGHROLLER” MICHAEL BUSCIACCO!

That will conclude this edition of The Craps Shoot, thank you for your time.

Good Day to all my family, friends, my maids, my butlers, my driver, my pilot, and you all you OTW fans ehhh, enjoy your day in the grind, working your butts off in your dead end jobs, and just barely making ends meet. I could feel sympathy for you, but why waste me time, when I could be doing something much more constructive, like preparing myself for “Another Double Event”. Yes, I have signed on the dotted line to not only grace you iggnorant fans with presence in OTW once, but twice. You know these double events are always shocking and always unpredictable. I personally have a full deck of cards that need to be shuffled and can not wait to intake on all the intense action these special events have to offer.

First and foremost before I get ahead of myself, after this past weekend, I can finally say that I am at very little impressed with Adam “Aces” Chandler, you finally won back something, that I thought meant entirely nothing to you, well I could care less about you defeating me, it proves that you are nothing but an idiot/trader/ oh to many insulting words to put here. You best prepare yourself as you must face Craig Nash in an ultimate grudge match, due to all the controversy and all this unpredicabilty I will not be at ringside. Nash, myself or IM Smarter can’t seem to get through to you, your two faced attitude is driving both of us up the wall and back down again. Until you show me where you stand, you can stand alone for now. I have enough on my mind right now, and I don’t need your problems.

Well this coming weekend it all comes down to something much like a roll of the dice. IM Smarter embarks on what will be a sucessful title defence againist the trader and the man who I defeated 1-2-3 in the middle of the ring CK Cross. “The Wild Thing” pursues his first singles title, as John Graber will make OTW history by becoming the youngest Junior Heavyweight Champion to date, when “The Wild Thing” finally takes out another man who I’ve defeated, your down home country boy, “Full Throttle” Chris Bohren. Indeed this Saturday should be an exciting day for all of us. Wait a minute, I’m forgetting something, that’s not like me, oh wait, I remember, oh yeah, this coming weekend you get to witness a public haircut, yes that’s it, this Saturday, I get to put on a barbers coat and take my clippers and my trimmers and give a wrestler a free haircut, well actually he’ll have to pay for it, because the beating I’m gonna give him is enough to cover every cost in the world. “Pretty Boy” Brian Johnson, if you think for one second I am encounting the possible biggest humilation of my life? Oh Please!!! When you awaken Sunday morning you will look in the mirror and say to yourself I failed, I underestimated, and now I’M BALD! I don’t know why Johnson, you put yourself through these things. Every time you try to go all out, take every risk in the book, you do what you do best you lose. And now your preparing yourself for not only a beating, not only another loss, but a public humilation. I’m am gonna beat you from pillar to post, if their is one feature of my body I am most proud of it is my hair, and no one cuts it except my personal hair stylist in Las Vegas. I love to gamble, but Johnson this time it is highly in my favor. The odds are stacked againist you, and all your chips are gonna come crashing down. Don’t you people miss out on this one, because you are going to get more then your money’s worth. My gorgeous, soft, and incredible looking hair againist his dirty, lice infested, and greasy hair. This Saturday Another Double Event, Don’t Miss It!

Greetings to all the uneducated, under priviledged, and under achievers out there, for it is I, the man who at the tender of age of 10 defeated a bunch of exsperience gamblers in a game of street craps, “The Highroller” Michael Busciacco. Here with not only the voice, but all the information you need to know about Old Time Wrestling, The Craps Shoot. What another great weekend of action, man it is intense, boiling down as we are now under 2 months until the OTW season takes a well deserved Summer break. With all the stars of OTW getting ready for Sole Survivor, we look ahead of that, as May 1st will be another annual Double Event, and I already seem to have a lot of cards on the table for that one. I don’t know whether to go all in or fold and stay ahead of the game. Maybe it will all come down to me doing what I do best bluffing, but there is only one way to see what happens be there live!

“Cry Baby” Brian Johnson, can you see straight today? Hahaha, I love to humor myself. You know “Pretty Boy”, you always consider yourself the toughest, most risk taking, and the man with the most heart in OTW. For over 2 years, after using my friend IM Smarter to basically guide your sucess, you rose to the top of OTW, becoming the first ever 3 Time Old Time Wrestling Heavyweight Champion, you battle your way to win Battle Bowl ‘09, and survived 4 men in one day to win Sole Survivor ‘09, but two days ago you had your shoulders pinned cleanly to the mat by………..oh wait, me. Your 2 years at the top just took a nose dive into a glass of water. Your yesturdays news, your washed up and your all out of towels. Johnson now you want to justify and make a sorry attempt to revive yourself by challenging me to another match and putting your greasy, dirty hair on the line and asking me to do the same. Well I glady accept, last month you took a wipping like no other at the hands of “The Wild Thing”, and now your gonna be even uglyer then you are now. I can’t wait to humilate you and shave off all that hair you’ve been working so hard for the past year to grow out and perfect. If you fans think for 1 minute that I’m losing my precious head of hair, you are all sadly mistaken and assuming to much. I already proven that I can beat you this past weekend Brian, just like all the men that I manage have. I really can’t feel sympathy for what is going to happen to you, I suggest maybe buying some new hats or maybe a new hair piece, just a helpful suggestion. Come May 1st ladies and gentalmen and I use those terms very loosely, you will not only see the tremendous action that OTW always offers, but the public humiliation and maybe the demise of “Pretty Boy” Brian Johnson. I encourage everyone to buy their tickets and see me do what I do best, take someone to the limit, and then beat them at their own game. Your head is going to have a cold, cold night Johnson, I’ll have the clippers and the trimmers waiting, get prepared for the haircut by the most anticipated barber in the world, “The Highroller” Michael Busciacco.

“Full Throttle”, more like “Full Of It”, hahahaha, once again I humor myself once again. Well it is signed, sealed and on May 1st it will be delievered, maybe even by first class mail. “The Wild Thing” that makes every girls heat sing, that makes everything groovy, Johnny Graber, with all his wits and knowledge of amatur wrestling, has earned himself a shot at The OTW Junior Heavyweight Champion, everyones favorite home town harvester, he milks goats by day, and picks hen eggs by dawn, Christopher Bohren. You know your as stupid as you look, accepting an amatur wrestling match againist “The Wild Thing” and trying to out mat wrestle him and willing to give him a title shot if you lose? Wow I knew country boys aren’t all there in the mind, but wow I didn’t know you didn’t have common sense. But hey its all said and done now, not only did he beat you, he made you tap out, oh how much of downer does that put on you. If you were that easy this past weekend imagine in less then 2 short weeks, you will kiss that Jr. Heavyweight Title goodbye permanitly, I will make sure that this time there will be no rematch. I promise you all that my little buddy, “The Wild Thing” will have his first taste of singles gold come May 1st and your good ol’ country boy will do back to what he does best, plowing the fields, harvasting the corn, and of course his all time favorite thing rolling around in the mud with pig, no wonder he smells so bad. Like I always say I never make a gamble, unless I know I’m going to win. And on May 1st, not only will you see a bald “Pretty Boy”, but a New OTW Junior Heavyweight Champion. I also understand that both Johnson and Bohren want a little taste this coming Saturday at our Weekly Live Event, well “The Wild Thing” and myself are always ready for action, and we love a good tag team match every now and then, make sure before all you fans all come out for May 1st you venture to The Monster Factory this week as you will get to see a preview of the demise of both “The Pretty Boy” and “Full Throttle”, don’t miss a minute of the action.

Now people are bunbarding me with all these questions about the relationship between IM Smarter and Craig Nash. Well I’m going to put out the answer right here, right now, I don’t know. I do know for sure that that poor excuse for a Military man Adam Chandler is an idiot. I know CK Cross is a jealous nobody. I just don’t know what is going on. I do my best to keep both men up to par, handeling their contracts, keeping close contact with both of them, but I can not handle their feelings towards each other. I’m not going to be caught in the center of all this. I am simply there to do my job and do it well. I’m not going to play parent to both these men, they are grown and men and they can settle their differences on their own, I am no longer answering any questions about this matter, you want answers, you can direct them directly to IM Smarter and Craig Nash themselves. I have enough on my plate as it is right now and I do not need anymore of this curiousty from you people.

Well that concludes my thoughts for this week, remember I am the man and I can deliver all the news you want to here in one simple blog. Remember to checkout oldtimewrestling.net and for all you facebookers out there, check out our fan page for all the up to date information. Next week OTW will play host to not only our loyal fans but memebers of The Boys and Girls Club Of America next week, so make sure your there to see all the action and of course less then 2 week, OTW will do what it does best. Double Event, yes, you know when the stars of OTW come out during the day and then into the night, the action is always hot and so unpredictible. We hope to see you all come out and support us until our season ends. For any additional questions call 1(856) 933-0500, if no one answers, leave a message, and someone will return your call. Old Time Wrestling, where else could you find old school wrestling with a modern twist?

Good day to all, it is I, the man who once hit the jackpot on an entire row of slot machinces, “The Highroller” Michael Busciacco, Old Time Wrestling manager of champions, and up and coming mid carder in Old Time Wrestling. Coming to you this week with the blog that has everyones head turning, The Craps Shoot. Well another Weekly Live Event occured this past weekend in Old Time Wrestling and I have to say that along with the fans, my mind is twisting to. I will not cry and wine about me and Johnny “Wild Thing” Graber’s loss to the tag champions, simply caught off guard and I will except the lose like a man, but fear not, I live to fight another day, and will be much more prepared for the next time. I could care less about those two as it is, I’ll admit since they became tag champions, they have been working well together, for a slow boy, and a conceided person, it’s surprising they get along so well. They’ve held those titles for over 2 months now, and will they soon fall apart? Only time will tell. One claims to be Awesome, one claims to be Hot Stuff, but in the end will they be calling the selves, Stupid and Cooled Down, like I said and always say, only time will tell.

Speaking of my little buddy, I’ve decided that 2×4 wasn’t a name for a man of his stature, he is small but mighty, tiny but tough, short but strong. He is indeed a “Wild Thing”. He drives women wild, he drives his opponants wild, heck he even drives his parents wild. Since January, the youngest man to grace the OTW roster, at the age of only 16, he has already rised to the stardom that takes most men who are much older years to accomplish. He has showed all you fans that despite his size, he has all the tools to put it together inside the squared circle. Now he sets his sights on obtaining The Junior Heavyweight Title, from that cow milking bumpkin, “Full Throttle” Chris Bohren, that man has already pinned your shoulders to the mat in a non title match. Now he wants a title match and you hesitate, I guess losing to me, then feeling the wrath of the New Ultimate Weapon has shaken up your throttle Bohren. I don’t know what you have left in your arsenal. It will be interesting to see if you can keep hold on that title. Be on your toes, that’s all I can say.

Now I’m alittle confused over what occured this past weekend with Craig Nash, I will not lie and say since he came back to us, he has been lacking his communication with Smarter and myself, and of course he was suspended last week. This week really confused both Smarter and myself though. Craig Nash has not returned my phone calls, since I arrived back here in the Bahamas, and has not been in contact with Smarter either. I have no idea what his intension were, walking out on his match with Chandler, then choke slamming IM Smarter in his sucessful Heavyweight Championship defence againist “Pretty Boy” Brian Johnson. I guess this is something that is up to my to figure out and I will continue to attempt to contact Nash in anyway possible. But enough about worrying, I’m sure everything will come full circle. However for The so called “Pretty Boy”, your such a poor excuse for yourself, it really sickens me, I don’t know why you keep trying to re invent yourself, hang it up while your young, stop wasting your time and mine as well. You will never wear that championship again, because you are a has been. You may have given Smarter a run for his money, but in the end who won the match and regained the title. I personally don’t know why you keep asking for a beating after beating. If you want more, myself, Smarter, Nash, or even the man who already whipped the tar out of you “Wild Thing” will gladly give you another beating. “Pretty Boy” hopefully soon you will realize that it is not worth it. I personally can’t wait to see your demise.

Well that sums up my business this past weekend, were you there to witness it all, well if you weren’t, why weren’t you? I understand that as OTW’s season comes to an end on June 5th, the action until then is just going to get hotter and hotter, make it your duty to join us each and every Saturday afternoon, as we give you Professional Wrestling the way it was meant to be. I understand that another Double Event has been signed for May 1st and April 23rd we will be hosting a special event for a Boys and Girls Club of America, make sure you attend each of these events to see all the intense action that OTW has to offer.

Good day all, It is I, the man who is a manager of a Champion, the former 2x time OTW Junior Heavyweight Champion, and the man who has won 8 consecutive privite blackjack tournements in his illustrious gambling career, “The Highroller” Michael Busciacco. Here with the only thing that is updated weekly here on oldtimewrestling.net, The Craps Shoot, a chance to hear what is on the mind of the man who sees and hears everything that goes on in Old Time Wrestling. You know this past weekend, as we waited to celebrate Easter Sunday, Old Time Wrestling invaded The Monster Factory with Our Weekly Live Event, with all the fallout of Double Event, shocking developments, unfolds, and things always happening, if you weren’t there you miss it, but hey that doesn’t mean you can’t join us next week.

So as I stated in last weeks Craps Shoot, we already fooled all you idiot fans with the wool we pulled over your eyes, but if you heard the words out of my mouth, myself, IM Smarter, and Craig Nash were not the only ones behind the scene, yes despite his denial, your American Hero, you big Soilder Boy, Adam “Aces” Chandler was with us every step of the way. Yes, despite what he claims, its all true, your self made US Military Man is nothing but a Benidict Arnold. You honestly think he fights for his country and you annoying and iggnorant fans? Don’t make me laugh, it all comes down to one thing and that is the almighty dollar, Chandler was brought and paid for, he sold out, just he sold out the US Military. You fans should think twice before feeling sorry for the big man, he is just like anyone of you, he saw dollar signs and got greedy. Chandler, I know you dispise IM Smarter and myself, but don’t play us like fools. I told you this weekend in the coming weeks, just as I do time and time again, I have another big surprise to unviel in Old Time Wrestling, you never know where and you never know when, so you fans better make sure your there every Saturday, because “The Highroller” can either bluff or go all in, wait and see what happens.

As I write this, I realize we are exactally 2 months away from Old Time Wrestling closing out their season, it’s a shame, however I’m personally looking forward to 3 months of not having to look at you ugly fans faces. As we get closer and closer to finishing out, it makes me wonder what will happen, I understand that there are 3 up and comers training hard in The Monster Factory, will they debute before the season ends? Who will leave this season holding the Championship belts? Will the injured Glamourous George Zlotnicki be back in action? Despite all the backstage news I hear in OTW, I myself am as in the dark as you fans are, the only way to see is to be there live for the next two months every Saturday for Weekly Live Event, I understand that another Double Event will take place May 1st and The 3rd annual Sole Survivor will be our closing event on June 5th. You never know what will happen, and when it will, make sure you witness each and every exciting minute of OTW, for those of you on Facebook, make sure to look up our fan page and become a fan, you will see all the behind the scenes news, you won’t find here on the site, plus you may get the oppertunity to interact with the stars of OTW.

Well I’m sorry to cut this short this week, but this island weather is to much to resist, before I hit the casino, the clear Atlanitc Ocean is ready to take me on. See you next week.
