Hello Georgie,
I am sitting in the airport in Roanoke after missing my early AM pale home thinking about the wonderful time I had yesterday at Boogie's Wrestling Camp, a Jimmy/Angel Valiant creation I found actually so desirable I enjoyed taking pictures in the heat et al.
The grounds are surely amazing, including statues of Minnie Mouse and a knight in shining armor. The Museum was loaded with memorabilia.
I must have gone to over 1,000 Indies in my near 40 year career and, especially the ones springing up like mad in the last decade have been far from my cup of tea.
Boogieland gave me back some needed faith in the business. The scenery in Shawsville is breathtaking for sure as are the 2 special gals in Handsome Jimmy's life. His wife Angel and the most gorgeous 26 year old daughter working her tail off at the concession. The best parts of Angel and l'll Ms. hottie offspring is that one can tell in a second they have that passion for the business not just for the almighty dollar but to take care of those who help them earn it..... the fans. They are the most fan friendly people (as is Boogie) I have met in ages and although the actual ring room is rather small, it's perfect for the 50 + regulars attending BoogieLand every time there is a gig there.
This one was a rather special one though and that's why I chose to attend when Boogie himself invited me 2 weeks ago when he was in NY for my booking of him and brother John at an autograph session on Long Island. The only commentary I will make about that show, because I shall not stoop to the level of some others (and I don't mean you great fans) is that no matter what you read and or hear I was hired as the Talent Booker for the show and that is basically what I did. I got some pretty good talent, every one got paid and that's that.
Boogie's wife Angel is just that.. an Angel inside and out. What a pleasant gal and not to mention their 26 year old daughter running the Valiant concession... OMG, what guy wouldn't just come up and buy anything just to get change from her. She is Drop Dead Gorgeous... married you marks, but Boogieman and Angel are smarter to keep her away from any marks anyhow. I gave her my 2 son's web addresses originally for herself and when I found out she was married she very happily told me she'd pass it on to her hottie single friends.
Boogie and Angel donated a bunch of great ring stuff and T-shirts for the PWHF fundraiser this Sat night in NJ, which I will be attending. It should be a good auction for sure. I am hoping there is a good turnout as this organization is terrific. I am going with Missy Hyatt and I understand Doink will be there along with Capt. Lou, Cousin Luke and a host of others.
