The Craps Shoot

What a wondeful Christmas I enjoyed, it was filled with delight, warmth, and of course Holiday cheer. The Holidays are now over, the snow is gone in New Jersey, and come January 2nd, Old Time Wrestling rings in the new year with the exciting action and excitment that it delivers every week. It has been one heck of a rollar coaster ride, but it all comes down to this Satuday, all title(excluding the 6 man tag team championship) will be unfrozen and defended as the finals of each tournement will be decided to determine the men who will face the champions. I am regretful and bitter that i must miss a not only great event, but a oppertunity that I may not get again. I promise this to Chris Bohren or to whoever is the Junior Heavyweight Champion when I return to OTW on January 16th, I will obtain a title shot, I don’t care who I have to go through whether it be that slow poke Eddie Hawkins or even Luis “The not so Punisher” Martineze. I will get back what is rightfully mine. Over these next two weeks that I will be on hiatus, I will be doing a lot of thinking, a lot of sole seaching, and a lot of training. I wish all my fellow friends in the Platinum Club the best of luck this coming weekend, I may not be there physically, but I will be there in a mental sense. To Dan De Man, CK Cross, Craig Nash, and IM Smarter, I know you are all very sucessful, already the most finely tuned wrestlers on the planet, but this coming weekend you all get the oppertunity to prove it, and I know you will deliver and obtain what The Platinum Club achieves everytime we go out to that ring and that is we deliver the pain, and obtain the victories.

What will happen to OTW in this new year that is upon us. It will be OTW’s 9th year since the name changing from World Wide Wrestling Alliance, and there is always the “What If?” factor. There are many questions I have, of course my number #1 is Will Jim Molineaux finally be impeached as Old Time Wrestling’s General Manager? My Vote Of No Confidence is still under heavy investagation, and I hope to see an outcome very soon. I have been thinking a lot of what does 2010 hopefully bring for The Platinum Club? Well as it stands we are all still a close tight group of men who look to acomplish every mission we pursue. Despite the fact that we are not always all in the same place at the same time, but we have a unity that no one else can conquer. Whether it’s just one of us or all five of us, we get the job done and that is something a lot of the other OTW wrestlers don’t seem to see. Well we will open their eye’s wide enough in 2010, and give them the biggest wake up call they ever recieved. Beware all men who step in the way of The Platinum Club, beware at all times.

Other questions that are rolling in my mind are what are we to exspect out of the new talent that entered OTW this year, of course on January 2nd you will see the in ring debutes of our prospect and possible new Platinum Club member “Little” Johnny Graber and our current referee Anthony Haynes, but what about Adam Chandler? The “so called” Military Man is not being all he can be in my personal opinion, I mean we still have his perishes dog tags, and he doesn’t seem like he wants them back, maybe he is just a raging bull waiting to see the red eye’s of an opponant and unleash the fury from within, maybe 2010 will be a better year for him. James Pasquale, kind of an arrogant attitude follows this man and has seemed to somewhat form an alliance with “Glamourous” George Zlotnicki, who is a former co-holder of the OTW Tag Team Championship, could we be seeing OTW’s new dominate tag team? Only time will tell. Rob Ispota, maybe he needs more time to find what he is looking for in OTW, it will be interesting to see how long this true underdog can hold on. And now Eddie Hawkin’s, this man, despite his backround, seems to think he has the whole world in his hand, he claims that on January 2nd, he’s going to shock the world, the only shocking I see him doing is himself, the man is known to put his fingers directly into a light socket. Hawkin’s ever since you’ve debuted, you’ve been getting on my last nerve, when I return, I’m making it my duty to sign a match with you as soon as management will allow, because I plan to not only defeat you, but humilate you, and send that poor excuse you call your grandmother back to the zoo, they will thank me for returning her. With that off my chest I know that this coming year will be interesting and the only way for you fans to witness it is live in person every Saturday at 2pm eastern standard time, at “Pretty Boy” Larry Sharpe’s World Famous Monster Factory Professional Wrestling Training School, located at Building 130A, Harding Avenue in Bellmawr, New Jersey, call 1(856) 933-0500 for more information including birthday parties and pro wrestling training.

This coming Saturday as I attend a wedding, The great wrestlers of Old Time Wrestling will give you the action packed two events that we promised you on the December 19th, remember if you already purchased tickets for either event, they will be honored at these events, don’t miss 3 gauranteed title defenses, who will face “Pretty Boy” Brian Johnson? Who will face “Full Throttle” Chris Bohren? Who will face IM Smarter and CK Cross? You have to be there live to find out, it is a new year for Old Time Wrestling and we are Still Putting The Class Back In Classic!

First of all before I begin this week I would like to let everyone aware that the December 19th Double Event has been poseponed until January 2nd, it seems mother nature got the better of us this past weekend, of course living in Reno, I was not effected but still my pilot could not even fly to anywhere in the northeastern terriotory. I am also upset to announce my withdrawls from all tournement matches, as on the 2nd of January I will attending the wedding of a family member as a prior commitment, I have informed OTW officals including Mr. Incompatant our so calld General Manager Jim Molineaux, so no crying and saying you own me again Molineaux, it’s not gonna work this time. As much as it kills me to give my chances for titles shots, my family does come first and I apologize to my fans who could not wait to see me. Now with that out of the way I thought I would take this particaler Craps Shoot to reflect on the past year in Old Time Wrestling, as we enter our last month of 2009, I would like to tell all you fans out there what happened in what was a great year in OTW, and I promise not be one sided in anyway, you see the holiday season brings out the best in “The Highroller”, and It is my honor to present to you: Old Time Wrestling 2009: A Year In Review.

What a year it was, and although it is not over yet, all the happenings have been speical and controversely. Lets all take it back to January, begining with the 2nd Annual OTW Battle Bowl, 3 battle royals, 3 title matches, all in one event. Champions at the time: Junior: Matt Miles, Tag: Zlotnicki/ Nash, Heavy: Dan De Man. Battle Royal Winners: Junior: Andd B., Tag: Hogya/Digatti, Heavy: Johnson. It was an intense night, in the end Johnson would be the only battle royal winner to fufill the duty and become a 2 time OTW Heavyweight Champion, holding the title until May of that year. The year winded on with every week getting more and more intense. Craig Nash would go one on one with Fuji Tanaka in a death match. In the end Fuji would be a bloody mess that would lead to his departure, and Nash would once again regin as the most dominate athlete in OTW. Including Fuji, we saw the departures of Travis Harvey, Zac Conner, Estebon, Greg Hogya, Chris Dace, and Steve Worthington and welcomed: Rob Vegas, Adam Channolor, Eddie Hawkins, Rob Ispota, and Jim Pasquale to the roster. Danny Miles would turn on his brother Matt, and at the present time has been missing in action from OTW, will he return? Only time will tell.

In the months after Battle Bowl, The action got hotter, I was suspended for 2 weeks, Zlotnicki and Nash would lose the tag titles to Hogya and Digatti leadeing to the team splitting. And we would see the surprising return on the former 3 time OTW Heavyweight Champion Luis “The Punisher” Martinez. Matty Miles would lose his long regin as Junior Heavyweight Champion to me, unfortunely I would lose it 2 weeks latter back to Miles only for him to lose it at the same event to Andd B., OTW also introduced The Six Man Tag Team Championship this year, with Irish Mike, Fuji Tanaka, and Con Orgello being the first champions. Johnson would hold The Heavyweight until he fell at the feet of Nash, only for the following 2 weeks in which during a no holds barred match between Nash and Johnson the title would be held up until out second annual Sole Survivor. In the time frame with Hogya’s sudden departure and Digotti’s failure to show up for title defenses, both would be stripped of the titles and Platinum Club memebers IM Smarter and CK Cross would win them. Unlike the perivous year Sole Survivor would change slightly now being used as a single elimination Tournement to determine the new OTW Heavyweight Champions, the fans choose who would face who and in the end after defeating IM Smarter, Con Orgello, and Danny Miles, I would go all the way to the finals, and who would be my opponant non other then “The Pretty Boy” himself, after an altercation with Craig Nash the previous week, I made it my duty to find a new monster to reliquish my spot to, and that man would be “The Punisher”, unfortunely my money and time went to waste as Luis could not fufill winning the title. Johnson would become a 3 time OTW Heavyweight Champion and I was left alone. In the time OTW would take July and August off, to give the talent a well dersevred break.

In September we were back with new faces and the battles were just as intense. Craig Nash and I managed to settle our differences, Sir Gaylord Fauntleroy showed a new intense drive in the ring. Possible disention in The Platinum Club was examined however it would all prove to be a shame that I would conjure up. Yes after selling the contract of Brandon Rodriguez to Miss. Shavana Yvonne, Craig Nash and myself, finalized the biggest merger ever between us and The Platinum Club. And now we posess not only the tag titles but the 6 man tag titles as well after all the controversy surrounding those titles throughout the months in OTW. Also we would demask Con Orgello and he would be forced to turn back into the plain Chris Bohren, however, he would go on to defeat “The Thriller” Andd B. for the Junior Heavyweight Title. We also still posess the dog tags of the so called Army man Adam Channolor, still has not proved a thing to me. Sir as he now goes by had an attitude change when it was revealed Johnson was refusing to face him. Irish Mike Kruz thought Miss. Yvonne would help make his career better, but it was only a ploy to keep Irish Mike from obtaining a title shot againist Bivin’s. Bazzoka Joe is still trying to find himself in OTW, no one knows where he will go from here. All in all despite everything that happened I loved my year OTW and for all you fans that didn’t show up on those Saturday afternoons, you missed quite a year of action. But remember OTW is back every Saturday starting January 2nd with 2pm and 7pm double events. Once again the action you exspected on the 19th will take place on the 2nd, unfortunely it will not include yours truely. But we still want to see you fans live and in living color, in you have any questions contact the place where it all goes down The Monster Factory 1(856) 933-0500, if you have advanced tickets they will be honored at this event, so don’t be turned away, be there to experience the exciting action of Old Time Wrestling.

Wow, Reno is really beautiful this time of year, it is nice to hold seasonal residences in all the big gambling cities, now moving into my winter residence at The Silver Legacy Resort and Casino in Reno. The Biggest Little City in the world indeed, with not only gambling, but sking, entertainment, and of course the buffetts, I am happy to keep moving. Nevada isn’t the only thing I’m moving in, Old Time Wrestling is right up there. I found out that next week I will find out my opponant for the finals for the shot that I’ve been waiting for, Chris Bohren, next week your title becomes unfrozen and when you look across the ring, there will be one man on the other side starring back at you and that’s me, The Man With Comps For Life, The Man Who Never Has To Wait For His Hotel Room, and The Man Who Can See A Boxing Match, A Comedy Show, and Be In The Hottest Night Club All In One Night, “The Highroller” Michael Busciacco, The Next OTW Junior Heavyweight Champion. Bohren I want that title and I’m making a promise right now, until our match, I will not gamble a single cent of my money until the conclusion of our bout. I know for sure that I will win this tournement now that “The Thriller” Andd B. is shelved and not many OTW wrestlers are within the 215LB and below weight limit. I’m going to take it to the bank, I litterally can’t wait, I will be flying in to train my butt off this week at The Monster Factory. It all comes down to this Chris Bohren, kiss your title goodbye, One more week.

Happy Holidays to everyone, it is eye the man who hits when he should stay, the man who raises when he should fold, and the man who always bets the maxium instead of the mininum, The Platnuim Clubs personal manager, advisor, financial consultant, and all in all close cofindant “The Highroller” Michael Busciacco. This past weekend Old Time Wrestling came back after a week hiatus, and the tournement matches to see who will face the champions at our December 19th Double event took place and man were they interesting, we saw 3 matches for the heavyweight title match, and 1 for the Junior and Tag Titles. In the Junior, do I need to over boost myself, yes it is true, I am one more step ahead towards my ultimate Christmas wish this year, Chris Bohren I know your shaking in your boots, I mean wrestling shoes and kickpads, but hey I warned you heavely, if you didn’t see it, I once again for the second time in my career pinned Irish Mike Kruz’s, I stated Miss Shavana Yvonne didn’t have her men together and this past weekend proved and where was she? Nowhere to be found, does my good pal “The Thriller” have something to do with this? Only time will tell. In the Tag Team, we saw the unlikly duo of Bohren and Hawkins, the slow boy and the man who’s head I will smash in defeated “Glamourous” George Zlotnicki and James Pasquale, all I have to say to all the tag teams in stop wasting your time, because CK Cross and IM Smarter are going to retain no matter who they face, they define what the term tag team means, and many have tried, but all have failed. I will also warn all that Craig Nash and Dan De Man will be entering the Tag Tournement, so I believe with Vegas Odds like that, The Platnuim Club doesn’t have to worry about anything. Now onto the Heavyweight, I must say that apparently the incompatant General Manager Jim Molineaux is taking bribes as 2 men who do not keep a firm commitment to OTW, were allowed into the tournement, those two being Bazzoka Joe and Michael Frankelino, the freak that is known as Frankelino has not been seen in OTW since Septemeber, and he gets to enter a title tournement? And Bazzoka Joe who seems to only show up when he wants to gets in aswell, I don’t know how much money they’re giving you Molineaux, but you need to get your act straight, I am happy to say my vote of no cofidence is still being reviewed. So Bazzoka Joe would get lucky in defeating my main man Craig Nash via countout, but I won’t let it bother me, you see see Nash appartently was no prepared fully for Bazzoka Joe, but yet Joe still did not pin him, yes it is true, what I stated on Saturday, $1000 of my recent Keno and racebook winnings, will go to the first man, woman, or even child to pin Craig Nash, I am a gambling man, and this is my biggest gamble to date, I’m so confident in Nash, that I don’t have to worry. In a bright not IM Smarter defeated that freak of nature Frankelino, and has now advanced, Johnson, this is the wake up call I tried to warn you about, just keep your eyes open and your big mouth shut and you will see what will happen Johnson. We also saw the man with no army rank Adam Channlor advance over Sir, I don’t feel like talking about that match. Well those are the brackets so far next week the wars will continue and I will be on my way again, I can’t wait. Well I must get back downstairs, remember December 19th is right around the corner, you better be there to see me once again be crowned Junior Heavyweight Champion. Call now and say you want your seats for December 19th double event, you know that number 1(856) 933-0500, it’s only eleven numbers, seven if you live locally. Call today.
