August GWN show

Hi all,

Just a quick note that I enjoyed the GWN show and these Love For Ethan charity cards are just the greatest accomplishments in wrestling history.

Ethan is a trooper that comes out to the card and meets all the wrestlers.

It never ceases to amaze me that every time I go to one of these wrestling events that there is some kind of charity going on. There are some really nice wrestlers that will personally take the time to come out and meet the children and make the effort.

Danger Boy is one of the kindest and it isn't any surprise that photographing isn't just a job for me when it comes to Danger Boy because I truly enjoy getting as many photos as I can of him meeting and greeting all the fans. I think he's one of the best I've encountered in a long time that goes out of his way to sign autographs and take photos as well as try to fill every request.

I know that there are many well known people in the world that do the same thing, but they should ALL take a lesson from Danger Boy and be as graceful, patient and courteous to all the people who come up to them for autographs. I know that sometimes there are a few strange stalkers or crazy people that will come out and do things, but for every photograph I've taken of a smiling fan and Danger Boy, I think it's worth doing a excellent job. Way to go Danger Boy.

I will continue to voice and show my support to those wrestlers dedicated like Danger Boy and others. I will also likely be getting more photos of them than others because of their gracious acts of kindness outside the ring...so other wrestlers let this be a hint to you.


Onto another subject I an still writing, but I am thinking of doing a special GWN 10th card video with all my material in the near 2 years I have been with them. So between the photos and writing I have been as busy as ever.

I will update with a few photos when I can.

Busy is fine if you get time to blog.

Hi all,
Let's see, I have been writing Macy Series #7 Return Home and still taking wrestling photos.
It's coming to nearly 2 years with the wrestling group GWN and there have been some changes. Some wrestlers have been around a long time and no longer are active, but are now managers like Igor.


Although we always like some wrestlers to keep active in the wrestling world we also must expect them to slow down and eventually retire. Fortunately they stay in the business either promoting, managing, training etc. Some get tired of it completely and walk away.

I can't tell you how many have gone since I started in wrestling, but it happens and some times there are choices of walking away for good. Those are the wrestlers I've known that just stay out of it completely without ever coming back...not even in a few years to do a manager gig or even a quick appearance.

We'll miss them, but the ones that can't ever come back we remember the most.
So although I am busy I am taking a moment to leave a blog to those that won't return to the wrestling world.


Thanks for the memories.
Desiree
