Tim White, Christy Hemme, Superstar, Afa, Brock Lesnar, Tazz, Stacy Keibler, Mark Madden and more….
Another feedback letter for Tim White:
First off, DO NOT speak for me. As a WWE fan, I to would like to see more wrestling on RAW and SmackDown! broadcasts, but, this IS Sports Entertainment. I, as a TRUE fan, also enjoy the entertaining aspect of each show, and I, as well as many other people that I know, find the Tim White segments entertaining. You, and your holier than thou constituents, should not ever proclaim to speak for everyone, especially with lines in your columns, such as..."All agree that the Tim White segments are USELESS." Vince and the writers for WWE would not continue to air these segments, unless they intended on going somewhere with them, and obviously, ALL do not agree with you, because if the segments weren't drawing a reaction, they wouldn't keep airing them. SO, if you, I'm assuming, conservative, PTC wannabes want these segments to stop airing, instead of PUBLICIZING, why don't you do what makes sense, ignore them, don't give them space on your site, and, I repeat, DO NOT speak for ALL wrestling fans.
Sincerely, Eli Parish
Eli, I was speaking for the 50 or so letters I received from fans who weren't happy with them.
I agree totally, Tim White segments are ridiculous. This is no reason for those tasteless attempts at suicide. Stupidity !!
Which is exactly the reason why I stopped watching WWE wrestling since they started there bull with Zach Gowan! Your website is the only way I keep up with WWE stupidity.TNA and the Indys!!!..That's the way I roll!..thanks for keeping me informed though.....I'm not missing much...I'm CERTAINLY not missing wrestling..at least WWE style..they don't have wrestling anymore. Sent in by gilmourwaters03.
Like the first letter said, enough about Tim White. As a matter of fact, I will NOT list anything more about him or the suicide silliness....
Lets get on to some important news......
I received an email from the people from the Lingerie Bowl and they informed me I can have a phone interview with Christy Hemme. She couldn't be in NY as much as she wanted to be, as she is in the middle of practices. So I have decided I will leave the questions up to you the fans. Send along your questions for Christy to: [email protected]
Hi Georgie----
Hope all is well with you! I just got home from the Superstar Billy Graham book signing that was at Border's in Paramus, NJ. He got there about 10 minutes EARLY. As long as you bought the book, Superstar signed whatever you brought with you and posed for pictures for whoever wanted them BEHIND the table!!!! He was very pleasant to everyone and spent time talking to each fan! Borders staff did not rush anyone through the line! There were about 100 people in line but this mall is not a big one. I recommend anyone that can get to any of his other signings should do so. You might want to post this so other fans can go meet him! He was really fan friendly! Take care, Larry Freda
Check out the Autograph Sessions Page for upcoming Superstar book signings.
Afa the Wild Samoan just informed me how proud he is that Smooth Tommy Suede received a developmental contract with the WWE. He is always so proud of his students. I'm sure more are coming soon.... such as Kevin Matthews and Krissy Vaine. ``Check her out, click on link http://www.krissyvaine.net/
Brock Lesnar will be signing autographs on Sunday, January 22nd following the University of Minnesota wrestling meet. For details go to: Gophersports.com

The master of the Canadian Destroyer, Petey Williams of TNA gave an exclusive interview to www.gerweck.net - speaking frankly on a number of topics including TNA house shows, the origins of the Canadian Destroyer maneuver, wrestling in Japan, his potential interest in working for WWE, and more. The ENTIRE interview transcript is posted at: http://www.gerweck.net/peteywilliamsinterview.htm
Here is a part of interview:
SG> What happened during the Ultimate X match at Bound for Glory?
PW> Well, I saw the X dangling over the ring and I got on my knees as any heel would do, and prayed for it to fall into my hands. Little did I know that my prayers would be answered. Actually, I was looking up at the X saying, "please don't fall, please don't fall"......
and it fell. I guess it just wasn't secured as well as it should have been.
SG> Do you think TNA should add another singles title as a secondary heavyweight title to the NWA title?
PW> That wouldn't be a bad idea. The only down side is that we only have a 1 hour tv show. It doesn't leave much time to build the title properly. However, it would give mid-card guys a goal to shoot for.
SG> Do you like the six sided ring?
PW> The six sided ring is all an illusion. It only takes a minute to get use to. It's really not as complex as everyone thinks it is. It also seems like there is more mat space in it too.
