I just informed Jerry that I wanted to let a shout out to all of you who makes HPW what it is today... he said.. "okay".
When Jerry wanted to start a wrestling show, here in Columbus, like some 14 years ago or so, I wasn't so in to it. I was going down to Louisville every week with him for the show there... lets see, Brian Christopher, his papa the King was there... Jeff Jarret, and of course Bill Dundee. Tommy, Jerry's best bud from his days in Atlanta, came in and out. Let me ask Jerry for a few others I might have missed... Eric Embry, PG13, Miss Texas, Moondogs, Rock 'n Roll Express, Flex Cavana (lol, later the Rock), and Dirty Dutch Mantell.
Jerry, to me, was some kind of a big shot here at these Lousiville shows. We got in through the back, and free... which I thought was kinda cool. He asked me at first where I wanted to sit, good side or bad side??? Being who I am,, heck, I chose bad. After he got me seated I made myself comfortable in the arena. Opposite of me, were where the "good" girlfrinds sat,.. lol, and all the fans constantly standing by their ropes. Only a few fans would stand by this "bad" side.. and of course heckled the guys when they came in to do their match (but still hoping to get close to a star). I couldn't help but get a kick of it every time!... Anyhow,.....
For those who don't know, Jerry, he is an excellent photographer. He not only was a photographer for several major wrestling magazines in the '90's, but took many pictures thru out his career of guys like,,, let me remember here,,, for one, the Rock, his early years, uhh... Stone Cold, Shawn Michaels, Macho Man.. all I can remember off hand. There were a few that we regularly brought pictures each week for them to sell themselves to their own fans,,, like Brian, Dundee, PG, and others..... He had his hands full, and loved it all, but I knew he really wanted more, other than a picture taker...so....
He suggested we try a little show, here in Columbus. I remember Louisville had just stopped their promotion a few months before. The initial cost was scary to me, but I knew Jerry had a few connections and knew the business to a point. It seemed like a risk, but I knew it was something Jerry wanted to take a chance at ... so we went for it.
Fortunately, it was a success.. a lot more than we thought. So, that's where we continued today... thanks to all of you, our loyaled fans, and the dedicated ring crew and wrestlers who have made Hoosier Pro Wrestling what it is today. Least not we forget, our favorite "original" wrestlers, I know they know who they are ... see them once in awhile... that made HPW great.... (Hey guys, I'd name ya, which you deserve, but I know I'd leave someone out ... a big thanks to you, espiecially!)
Anyhow,.... a few months ago I asked Jerry if he still thought all the work and effort was still worth it... his answer.. " oh yea.. more than ever." He loves this.. and I believe as long as he has a fan base, he's satisfied by knowing he's bringing entertainment and fun in the lives of you who keeps on coming to the shows... and when it does all end, .. and until then... I'm sure he'll still be happy, 'cause its because of all of you... YOU... that made his dream come true. If it all ended today, it would be all good.
So, I just want to say a big THANKS! to all you fans, hpw workers, and the dedicated wrestlers, present and the past,,, for helping my husband, Jerry Wilson, make his little "big" dream a success. It's been fun, and I really hope we keep on making it a part of our lives.
Peace to all... Sharon |
