Journey of the Journeyman: One Proud Papa!

Hello True Believers!  (I think that may be copyrighted...)

Man, what a weekend!  3 shows in 3 days, which is pretty normal, but I want to focus on the event held on Sunday, July 15.

The 15 students that completed the 12-week Tried-N-True Academy had their Student Showcase event.  These students walked into the gym in April with little-to-no previous wrestling experience, and I have watched them grow from the ground up.  Tears entered my eyes on more than one occasion seeing my proteges are work.

I want to thank all the people who bought tickets.  I don't have an official count, but the estimate I was given, from presales and tickets sold at the door, was 300+.  AMAZING!  A legit standing room only crowd to support the hard work these students have put in over 12 weeks to chase their dreams!

The night was started off with "The Beast from the Middle East" Rhamey doing battle with Kountry Boi.  You may recognize the name Kountry Boi as one of the artists that composed my entrance music (https://soundcloud.com/jeremiah-plunkett/mr-mugg-kountry-boi-grizzled-white-boy-jeremiah-plunketts-entrance-theme).  These guys have worked so hard, and have such a high wrestling IQ.  This was a great start to the night and ended with "The Beast from the Middle East" giving Kounty a Black Hole Slam through the mat.

The second match pitted 2 of our cruiserweight trainees, Mikey "Anime" Hempfield and Peyton "Speedy" Polson, against the Tried-N-True Pro tag team of the Powerhouse Paisans, this combination being Pasquale Zionesto and "The 90-lb Big Mouth" Tony Lucassio.  While known as a manager, Lucassio is a trained professional wrestler and showed his stuff against the 2 undersized competitors.  Mikey's charisma and the pair's athleticism left me smiling from ear to ear.

The third match was the Tried-N-True Academy Battle Royale.  All 14 male competitors entered the ring in 30 second intervals until only 1 was left standing.  In a fantastic moment, Dustin "The Lone Wolf" Rybolt was left as the last man standing, in the feel good moment of the night.

After a brief intermission, it was time for "The First Lady of the Tried-N-True Academy" to make her entrance.  Brittany Garcia was originally slated to face Impact Wrestling's Rebel, but Rebel had other ideas.  She brought in a ringer in the form of Paredyse.  Brittany, not afraid to go one-on-one with a man, held her own and scored an upset pinfall.

Following Brittany's match, I took the stage opposite potentially our most athletically gifted student, Matthew Mims.  Let me say, his cheering section was definitely in attendance.  Mims asserted his strength early on, but a well place right hand put me in control.  I did my best to welcome him to the business and bringing the fight to him.  Mims got me rocking and rolling toward the end, but a well placed DDT set him down for 3.  The kid took a lickin' and kept on tickin', and me made me proud.  SO much upside.

Finally, the main event pitted Zach "Honcho" Hensley and Deonte "All Star" Myers vs. the War Kings, Crimson and Jax Dane.  This match was tremendous.  The WarKings asserted their dominance, but teh team of Hensley and Myers would not go down without a fight, picking there spots and managing to get the big men off their feet numerous times.  However, it was not to be as the War Kings put them away. 

The night ended as all the students surrounded ringside.  Crimson and Jax Dane said a few words, and the entire room gave a standing ovation to the students.

To say I'm proud is an understatement.  Hard work pays off, and this event showed it.  My hats off too everyone involved.  To my students, whether you like it or not, you are my kids in the business now.  I'm here for you always, and I can't wait to see you grow.

I love you all!  Stay human.

Journey of the Journeyman: Spreading the Love

I apologize for the delay between posts, but lately I have been a very busy man.  Earlier this year, I accepted the position of the Head Coach of the Beginners Course at Tried-N-True Pro Wrestling's training center, the Tried-N-True Academy, and it has been a ride!

I have assisted various training classes before.  I was an assistant trainer for Chase Stevens, Dutch Mantell, and Jeff Daniels in the past.  I've assisted people in seminars.  I've even taken over training from a friend when he went down with a debilitating knee injury and could not complete the training for his students.  However, this has been my first experience as Head Coach...and I'm loving it.

Since April, I have taken a class that topped out at 19 students from having little to no in-ring experience to giving them the basic fundamentals needed to get the foot in the door of this crazy dream we call professional wrestling.  Along the way, we lost a few students.  Some stopped showing up.  Some decided it wasn't for them.  Others left for personal reasons.  At the end of 12 weeks and 36 sessions, 15 students remained.

I don't want to undermine the accomplishment those 15 made.  These sessions aren't easy.  On top of the already difficult learning aspect and beating the body takes, blow up drills are frequent and practice is regularly ended with a workout circuit that we affectionately call "Burnout".  Videos of these can be found on the Tried-N-True Pro social media.  These 15 have pushed themselves and should be commended for completion.

Of the 15, I am beyond proud to say that we have 10 graduated moving on to the Intermediate Class headed up by Crazzy Steve and Anthony Lucassio.  It warms my heart to see these students become something more than often times they even though was possible.

The remaining 5 will continue to be polished up and have the kinks worked out, and then they too will move on to the Intermediate Course.  I have 100% faith in that.  

I have always wanted to leave some sort of legacy in the ring.  I love performing and always will, but I may have found my next calling.

I would like to thank a lot of people, so please bare with me.

I would like to thank Crimson for giving me this opportunity.  He and I have been close friends since day 1, and none of this would be possible without him.  He saw something in me and thought this would be a good fit, and even when I didn't see it, pushed forward and ended up being right on the money.

I want to thank Crazzy Steve and Anthony Lucassio.  Both have helped me tremendously with ideas for drills and alternate teaching methods.  Steve helped me tremendously with putting a curriculum together, and I'm beyond glad to have both joining me as Academy coaches officially.

I want to thank all the guest coaches that came by to lend their bit of advice and stories, giving the students other outlooks and opportunities.  Tried-N-True Pro Wrestling is a family.  I know that's cliche, but these guest coaches came in on their own accord to help.  I thank you for that.

Thank you Jax Dane!

Thank you Rebel!

Thank you Paredyse!

Thank you Jayme Jameson!

Thank you Kevin Weatherby!

Last, but certainly not least, I want to thank my students.  You guys worked your asses off.  You worked through the heat, the drills, the bumps, the bruises...To the 15 that made it to the end, thank you.  You made me realize that this ol' Journeyman may have something worth giving after all.

Thank you Daniel!

Thank you All Star!

Thank you Red!

Thank you Speedy!

Thank you Honcho!

Thank you Brittany!

Thank you Dusty!

Thank you Maniac Mike!

Thank you Mo!

Thank you Si!

Thank you Big Mike!

Thank you Rhamey!

Thank you Dote!

Thank you Kountry!

Thank you Mims!
