First of
all, I would like to thank Gino Caruso for the
rigorous training program and diet he put me on to enable me
to lose 20 pounds of fat and add some muscle for our
wrestling match at the PAL Building in Lincoln
Park as well as thank many of the great ECPW Fans
for all their support. For those of you who could not make
it, here is a link below to you tube for your enjoyment. I
know Gino and I enjoyed it at the expense of Bobby
Lee Walker & Justin Blackwell. Although there were some
tense moments when I found myself in the ring with the huge
and very scary Justin Blackwell, Gino came to my
rescue in the nick of time. I was asked after the match if
Gino and I were considering going after the tag team
titles. The answer is a NO. I am going to leave the
wrestling up to the professionals and go back to my
administrative duties and part time color commentary.
Speaking of color commentary, the search is still on for my
full time replacement to work along side of the talented
Tony Martin. We have had several good candidates and
continue to interview and search for the right candidate to
compliment Tony.

I truly hope
that ECPW fans understand the importance of the
wrestling event that will take place at the PAL Building
in Lincoln Park, NJ April 23rd
Jeff “The Future” Coleman will face the biggest
challenge of his career when he defends the ECPW
Heavyweight Championship Belt against none other than
Tommy Dreamer. In speaking with Tommy Dreamer,
he stated “Although Jeff Coleman has been a great
champion, let’s see if he is ready to take it to the
extreme”. Every wrestling fan knows what Tommy means
by that. If Dreamer is successful he said that he
would have no problem in stepping into Coleman’s
upcoming schedule and defend the ECPW title with
honor and dignity.
Another
important match up pits the maniacal and twisted, Crowbar
against Andrew Anderson. These two just don’t
like each other and ECPW has beefed up security in
the locker room and around the arena for this match. I am
sure that his Crowbar’s side kick, Timothy Plasma,
the self proclaimed “Vampire”, will be nearby for this
one. It should be a barn burner.
Then the
match that has greatest importance to me, personally---
Gino Caruso & Joey G will take on the West Virginia’s
bully’s, General Bobby Lee Walker & the 450
pound, Justin Blackwell. I guess my emotions ran away
with me when I challenged Bobby Lee Walker to a match
after he degraded my Italian heritage at a recent ECPW
Show, butI could not have a better partner than
the very popular and accomplished, Mr. Italy, Gino
Caruso. Gino is in the best physical and emotional state
of his career and with the support of our fans, which we
will need, we hope to be victorious. We are determined to
put an end to Bobby Lee’s “Italian Bashing” for
good. I hope to see you all there.

Red Hot Russ
suffered a rib injury while participating in a brutal six
man tag match as he, The Jersey Devil & Andrew Anderson
wrestled Doug DeVito’s highly unpredictable
stable of Crazy Ivan, Big Bad Brolly & The Peacemaker.
The tough Red Hot Russ wants to continue
wrestling but the doctors have not cleared him as of yet.
Stay tuned for further updates.
Tony Fiore,
“The Fuggetaboudit Kid” won a Number
One Contenders match as he beat the very tough Slugga,
so at the next TV Taping, April 22nd at the
Elks Lodge in Paramus, Tony Fiore gets a shot at the
coveted and prestigious ECPW Heavyweight title when
he opposes the current champion, Jeff “The Future”
Coleman. ECPW is extremely happy with their new TV play
by play announcer, Tony Martin, and has offered him a
long term contract. The search is now on for a color
commentator to compliment the very professional Tony
Martin. Those interested should contact ECPW at
973 402 9599 or by going on the website ECPW1.com.
I have been
hearing from most of our fans of Italian decent that they
are sick and tired of General Bobby Lee Walker & Justin
Blackwell’s continued derogatory comments about Italian
Americans. This proud Italian American is getting sick and
tired of their distasteful, stupid ethnic comments as well
and tried to address it with Bobby Lee Walker in the
dressing room. He and Blackwell just laughed, called
me a dumb greaseball and walked away.

It is hard to believe that
this year has come to an end with ECPW promoting a
record breaking 88 Wrestling Events during 2010. The board
of directors are predicting an even better 2011. Look for
new arenas, where ECPW has never been before as the
scope may broaden internationally. Look for new wrestlers to
enter into the exciting world of ECPW to replace
those who have been injured, retired or those who just can’t
handle the training and everyday grueling world of
professional wrestling.
We go into 2011 with a new
heavyweight champ, Jeff “The Future” Coleman. I
guess the future is now. Who will be able to beat this
monster of a man with such a mean attitude? He is in shape
and he can wrestle or brawl with the best of them but in my
opinion, he has still not beaten Andrew Anderson
legitimately. Anderson’s attorneys have begun
fighting the contract stating “no return match’ that The
Re-enforcer signed to get his last match with
Coleman. Who knows if they will be successful? We
have new tag-team champions in Jersey Devil & Red Hot
Russ---Jersey Heat, and boy are they hot. Tag teams are
lining up gunning for their titles. Crazy Ivan now
has gold around his waist. Fans felt that DeVito & Ivan
stole the belt like they stole so many other things in
the past.
ECPW comes back in 2011 with a TV
taping on January 21st and then the big Awards
Dinner January 22nd. Fans get your tickets
early as you don’t want to miss this great gala event where
you can mingle with the wrestlers and see as the awards are
given out live. I understand that some exciting
announcements may take place at the Awards Dinner. So
make sure that you are there. It is such an exciting event
and fun event for all. Even the wrestlers who attend love
it as they get a chance to relax and have some fun.

In a past
column I stated after speaking to Red Hot Russ, he
would be looking for a tag team partner to avenge the
beating he took from the Repeat Offenders as he was
entering the ring for one of his TV matches a few months
ago. The Jersey Devil found himself without a
partner after Gunner Trash, who is out indefinitely,
took a vicious beating at the hands of the same Repeat
Offenders. Revenge is sweet and Russ & Devil are
still tasting that sweet revenge as they beat the Repeat
Offenders for the Tag Team belts in Paramus. Lots of
controversy surrounding this one as Doug DeVito
agreed for this title match even thought Crazy Ivan
was not available. DeVito substituted the
Peacemaker. This was not one of the Sports Agents
better decisions as not only did he lose the belts but
may have lost the service of Big Pete Nixon. Nixon
blamed DeVito for the loss and a big commotion ensued
in the locker room with Nixon screaming, “I quit” and
DeVito yelling back, “you can’t quit-you’re fired”.
What is Crazy Ivan gong to think of this? I would
not want to be in DeVito’s shoes.
Andrew
Anderson was attacked
again by a mysterious masked giant during his return title
match with Jeff Coleman. It was the same person who
attacked Anderson and cost him the World’s
Championship Belt in Perth Amboy. This time he was
accompanied by the big slob, Lance Profit. Since
that title match was a “Last Time Match”, Anderson is
not eligible to wrestle Coleman again. It is obvious
Anderson was screwed. The big question is by
who????????? Was it Coleman? Was it Lance Profit?
Or was it the new ownership? There is never a dull
moment on any ECPW Card. That is why you can’t miss
any shows during the year.
The Fan
Page has now been added to the ECPW Website. So
fans check out that new area and look for you pictures.
There is a good one of Netta and some of her group as
well as an R Rated picture of Little Jack Little.
Additional fan pictures will be added during future shows.

------------------
The only word to
describe the events of August 28ths TV Taping at the Elks
Lodge is UNBELIEVABLE. Jeff Coleman went
absolutely crazy when he attacked Andrew Anderson as
he took the ropes apart and tried to strangle The
Re-enforcer in the middle of the ring. The only thing
he accomplished was to infuriate Anderson even more
for their Steel Cage Match to be held in Perth Amboy at
St. Mary’s Church on September 11th.
It was almost impossible to restrain Anderson when he
fully recovered and he attempted to chase Coleman as
Jeff raced down Route 17.
When the legendary
Sargent Slaughter heard thatthis great event
was being held on September 11th and that all
military personnel in uniform or with their ID will be
ECPW’s guests, he asked to be on the card and insisted
on wrestling Prince Akkanatan in a Flag Match.
Slaughter heard about Prince’s derogatory
comments about America and our policies and “The Sarge”
wants a piece of “The Prince”. Additional
security has been added for this match.
In a special
“Family Match”, Tito Santana returns to ECPW
after a lengthy absence to team up with nephew Jay &
Meringue Warrior to take on all 1,500 pounds of the
Blackwell Family, consisting of Butcher, Justin
and Baby Blackwell who alone hits the scales at over
600 pounds. We have been assured that the ring will be
specially reinforced for this match.
All ECPW
belts will be on the line as the tag team champion,
Repeat Offenders take on their toughest challengers,
The Island Warriors. I said it on TV and I’ll say it
again for this column, “If you only go to one more wrestling
event in 2010, this is the one to be at”. Review the full
card and you will see why. I’ll be there. I hope to see
you there too.

As Labor Day
approaches meaning the end of the summer, ECPW fans
can’t wait for the spectacular event that is now scheduled
for September 11th. in Perth Amboy. The main event is for
all the marbles, as Andrew Anderson will put his
ECPW Heavyweight Championship on the line against none
other than, Jeff “The Future” Coleman. This one will
be settled in a Steel Cage. Continue to stay informed by
logging on to ECPW1.com as matches are being signed
as wrestlers from all over want to be part of this great
event.
After last
month’s TV Taping at the Elks Lodge in Paramus, I had
many fans come up to me after the event to tell me how much
they enjoyed the card. It is obvious how ECPW’s
popularity continues to grow. The match makers are bringing
back Jay Owens & Dan Mandini return match. Owens
demanded the match since all the fans except the referee
saw Dan Mandini’s feet on the ropes as he pinned
Jay Owens.
Also at the
next TV Taping on August 27th will be an update
on the sale of ECPW as new ownership is promising an
even better product with more exciting wrestling stars
coming into the organization in the very near future. Does
this mean a better TV package or even Pay Per View? Be at
that TV Taping to find out more.

A mysterious
man has been showing up at recent ECPW events
claiming to be the father of Creeper. We all heard
the tale that Creeper was constructed from parts from
various dead bodies but this man states that Creeper
was indeed, born and he is his biological father. His
picture bears a strong resemblance to Creeper.
Doug
DeVito’s “Repeat Offenders” held on to
their titles in a brutal match with Gunner Trash & Jersey
Devil, known to all as “Jersey Trash” in a brutal
match. The state of New Jersey which gave us The Jersey
Boys, The Soprano’s, The Housewives of New Jersey & Jersey
Shore has now given us one of the hottest tag teams in
ECPW—Jersey Trash.
Jeff “The
Future” Coleman continues
his assault on all ECPW wrestlers. In a recent TV
match with Jay Santana, Jeff continued to savagely
beat on Santana. Referee Tony Meyers, tried
to intervene as Jeff pushed Meyers twice
costing him the match but earning Jeff a hefty fine.
He faces possible suspension as his actions will be reviewed
by senior ECPW officials

Each and every week, ECPW, brings you fans the most
exciting wrestling action on television today. This week was
no exception. In a no-disqualification match, Nick Talent
& Nick Napoleon were having an exciting back and forth
match until the self proclaimed “Vampire”, Timothy Plazma
interfered and cost Napoleon the match.
Napoleon was furious after the match and has vowed
revenge on Plazma.
A tremendous match up was taking place between The Island
Warriors & The Repeat Offenders until Doug DeVito interjected
himself into the match and cost the Island Warriors a
victory. Sean Martin & Slugger, have been a very
impressive team enjoying much success which earned them a
title match. They have vowed that they want to go home to
their native Jamaica as tag team champions.
Trey Owens was successful over Ben Cromwell. It is still hard to
believe that that the Owens Brothers are not together
and feuding. This has upset MamaOwens. She
has repeatedly tried to get them to end their vicious feud
but has not been successful.

ECPW fans are
counting the days to this Friday’s TV Taping at the Elks
Lodge in Paramus as ECPW will present one of the
most exciting nights of professional wrestling with “Luck
Of The Draw”. Fans will participate in picking out the
type of match to be contested on this special night. Will it
be a “Steel Cage Match”,” Falls Count Anywhere”, “Lumber
Jack Match”, “Sicilian Stretcher Match” and which wrestlers
will be called upon to enter into one of these matches.? All
wrestlers must be prepared for the most dangerous night of
their career. This is what makes ECPW so popular with
the fans.
Jeff “The
Future” Coleman continues to
play mind games with the “Re-enforcer”, Andrew Anderson.
Apparently Jeff showed up at a restaurant, where
Anderson was dinning and almost caused a riot.
Coleman was ushered out but Anderson could not
finish his meal as he was so upset. Anderson left
shortly and was heard screaming, “the S. O. B. ruined my
dinner”. This will eventually come to a brutal conclusion,
one way or another”.
The TV
audience witnessed another exciting victory for Tony “The
Goodfella” Fiore over the powerful Tony Moose as
the grappler from Hoboken is becoming more popular with each
match.

You can call this ECPW wrestling superstar, Red Hot
Russ “Mr. ECPW”, as he has done it all. He held the tag
team championship belt on more than one occasion. He was
the TV Champ, Light heavyweight champ as well as holding the
ECPW Heavyweight title. Russ, one of the more
popular wrestlers in ECPW, was entering the ring on
the last TV taping and was viciously attacked by The
Repeat Offenders--- Crazy Ivan & “Big” Pete Nixon. I
asked the diabolical, Doug DeVito why and he just
calmly said, “Because we can”. You can rest assure that
Red Hot Russ wants revenge and he is currently searching
for a partner. ECPW has been approached by a few
cable networks to enter into the “Monday Night War” Stay
tuned as this one is evolving.

In an
attempt to get to the bottom of the speculated dissension
between one of the most successful tag teams to ever appear
in ECPW, the Owens Brothers, I was told to
mind my own business by older brother Jay Owens. It
was clearly evident that there are some issues as Jay
was super kicked by his brother after a recent match on
television and it has been very noticeable their precision
tag team timing has been off for the last few months. My
prediction these two will put there differences aside and be
a well oiled wrestling machine again at the next TV Taping.
In a recent
match between Ryan Roxbury & W.A.S.P., who controlled
the match with a deciding pin in the middle of the ring, the
W.A.S.P. picked up Roxbury and carried him
back to the dressing room. Before he got back to the
dressing room, he bowed to the fans with a surrealistic
smile on his face. What is up with him and why did he pick
up his opponent?
Rumor has it
that there are two wrestling organizations now competing for
the services of ECPW’s marketing genius, Alan
Gimmick-Table. Under the VP of Marketing, ECPW
ran more shows last year than ever and product sales have
skyrocketed.

-----------------------------------------------
First of
all, I want to wish all our ECPW fans a very Happy and
Healthy New Year. I was lucky enough to be invited to the
Sports Agent, Doug DeVito’s, pallatial estate for a
post New Years bash. Great food including Chateau Briand,
unlimited Lobster and the best imported wines were served.
No one can come close to hosting a bash like DeVito
can. Could it be that be that Doug was lobbying for
votes as he would like to take his fifth Manager Of The Year
Award. Since I had two lobsters, he has my vote.
The last TV
Taping had Jeff Coleman’s attorneys preventing him
from wrestling Andrew Anderson but the red tape has
been cut and Andrew Anderson has agreed to meet
Coleman on January 22nd at the Elks Lodge in
Paramus in a winner take all match. The winner gets not
only the belt but both of the wrestler’s purses. Wrestling
experts feel that Jeff Coleman has been using these
tactics to successfully get into Andrew Anderson’s
head. The Re-Enforcer simply goes into a wild rage at
the mention of The Future’s name as evidenced when he
destroyed part of the set at the last TV Taping.
See you all
at the Awards Dinner January 23rd at the
Saddle Brook VFW. If you don’t have your tickets, get
them quickly, before this highly anticipated event is sold
out like last year. Who will be the Fan Of The Year? Lots
of competition for that one as there is for all of the
awards. Only one thing is certain and no need for voting----Joey
G is the best color commentator in all of professional
wrestling today. Take that to the bank. One of our fans
asked to have another category next year, “Most Out Of
Shape Wrestler”. She said her vote would go to
WASP. I am sure WASP would get many votes.
The ECPW
has recently seen a resurgence of the dreaded, Army
Of Darkness. They first burst on the scene at a TV
Taping and cost Ace Wylde the light heavyweight
championship title at the hands of the undead, Timothy
Plazma. After Timothy Plazma’s first title
defense, the massive and diabolical Kuvatro, from New
Guniea attacked the already beaten Ryan Roxbury. This
was all engineered by the mysterious mastermind----Damnasia,
who promises to bring in additional members for her
deadly and already growing Army Of Darkness.
Jeff Coleman
and Andrew Anderson were on opposite sides in a tag
team match but the fans did not see too much action between
these two as Tugboat and The Masked Superstar
carried most of the action until a second Masked
Superstar appeared. Coleman and Anderson
will eventually be in a one on one match up as the fans are
demanding to see this one. It will be very interesting as
these two actually hate each other. The Masked Superstars
will be teaming up in tag-team action and we are hearing
of more tag teams coming into the ECPW very soon.
Speaking of
tag-teams, Frankie Flow and The Merangue Warrior
looked like a formidable tag-team and have declared that
they will even get better. They are working very hard to
improve their newly formed partnership.
After a
lengthy absence due to several injuries to his knee,
Hoboken’s own, Tony Fiore scored an impressive win
over Dan Mandini. Tony told me that it was because of
Gino Caruso, that Tony got into the wrestling
business and his dream is to eventually team with Caruso
one day.He also told me that wrestlers like
Little Tony Moose give Italians a bad name.
