Here are a few thoughts on this past Saturday night in

 Melbourne, Florida

I have said for quite some time , it was my last "In ring" performance and I had the pleasure of being in the ring with two of the best. Bubba Ray And Devon Dudley. I can say Dudley boys because they will always be those "Damn Dudleys"

It was 1988 when I walked down a flight of stairs for the first time in a place called "Gleasons Arena" in Brooklyn , New York on front street to begin what some thought was a "flash in the pan" hobby.

Some how I would like to believe that Johnny Rodz is proud of me because he taught me more about this business then he had to, and he always made sure that I learned my lessons. This is why I owe many, many thanks to the great Johnny Rodz-Thanks POPPI!

well on October 27th 2007 in Melbourne, Florida I walked thru the curtain for the last time (even though in wrestling you never say never) and it happens to be with two guys that came in this business the same way I did. THE RIGHT WAY.

there was a young stud that was my partner, Ricky Vega this kid is going to be around a long time and is very good at what he does. It was an honor to be in there with these guys and it was a lot of fun to see a young star with respect for the boys and the business.

At the end of the night Bubba & Devon did some thing that was not expected and /or neccesary. they paid the best compliment that can be paid. they called me into the ring in front of all thier fans and THANKED ME.

this will go up in the colum with the time in Irvine California when the locker room emptied out to say "thanks" to me in front of the live crowd!!!

not too many times in a career can one person say how grateful he has been for his career and the people whom he has shared it with.....but I am one of those guys who can say

"THANK YOU to the DUDLEYS, the FANS, MY WIFE,KIDS AND MY FOLKS!!

I would like to think that my Grandfather was watching from "up stairs" laughing and remebering how this whole thing started!!!!!!!!!

In a time when people are in and out of this crazy business without being remembered, I have had 20 years to do what I truly love.....SO THANK YOU !!!

Thats it because I could be a while.....

 so to Devon & Bubba Thanks for the kind words. To the fans of DCW thanks for the applause. And to anyone who ever "CHEERED OR HATED THE LAUGHING MAN" thanks for everything.

AGAIN, just because I will not be in the ring doing what I do doesnt mean I am done with Wrestling.....NEW ENERGY WRESTLING will be turning out the best young talent of the next generation and we look forward to 20 more years.
