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.
