Normally on a blog title similar to this one,one would like to think that the author to these words was talking about the opening to a play on Broadway;or maybe even perhaps an opening to a Vaudeville show.....
OH HELL TO THE NO !!!
I am talking about the opening night inaugural independent wrestling show Southern Stars Wrestling that took place last night (Saturday,September 2nd) at the Chester Pruitt Rec Center in Fort Walton Beach,FL.
Yours truly was extremely honored and was chosen by SSW to be the ring announcer for this opening night indy wrestling extravaganza..
I was as sharp as a blade on the microphone in additon to the nice,tailored threads that I wore on that night.Photo on the right by ringside photographer/indy wrestling fan,Lilbub.
The SSW had me running around all over the place in circles as they were trying to get their wrestling card assembled and running through the "spots".
I was going back and forth,in and out of the locker room as they were attempting to get all the vitals of every wrestler that was wrestling that night;namely their weights and their hometwon residences.Also,trying to getting the 50/50 raffle drawing situated.
From the getgo,we were somewhat discombobulated,but when all that was said and done,everything else was routine and the rest of the night moved like clockwork.
Also prior to the show commencing,I even sung an accapella rendition of "The Star Spangled Banner";our country's national anthem.
I,being a very proud American,was so very proud and honored to do that considering that on the local Gulf Coast wrestling circuit,something like this happening is not only unprecedented,but unheard of.
Once again,I was very proud and honored to do that with absolutely no regrets.
All the guys in the back and even the fans that were in attendance LOVED my performance!
There was some great wrestling action that occurred throughout the evening's festivities;including a non-stop,action packed 4 way dance between 4 very outstanding combatants:
"The Definition Of Technician" CHRIS TIGHE
"The Master Of Devastation" CAMERON FROST
"B.T.Y." COLBY GODWIN
and,a wrestler who made his triumphant return back to the squared circle,
SCOTTY RAYZ !
All 4 of these men pulled out all the stops and brought the roof down entertaining and taking the breath away the SSW audience with the many skills and the clockworkesque,precision maneuvers that each of them displayed onto each of their opponents.
Here was one move that captivated and enthralled the entire crowd;an unbelievable,unexplainable,quadruple,overhead belly-to-back suplex that you see displayed to the right to your screen.

WHAT AN INCREDIBLE MATCH THAT 4 WAY DANCE WAS !!!
Chris Tighe won this very exciting match;however,I gotta tip my hat and salute all 4 of these men for the outstanding,breathtaking,remarkable encounter that all of them had!!!
This was a very special night for me,for SSW and the wrestling fans.
Of course,it was the 1st inaugural SSW show that ever took place,but a lot of my wrestlepals (friends) which included Lilbub,Buttonman and John "Madd Dawg" Tennesson were there.
But,two very special friends that were there to see me and the action in SSW were my lady friends (NOT MY GIRLFRIENDS,MIND YOU!):
"THE SIMPLY STUNNING PRINCESS" Kimberly (pictured to the left) & her best friend,the hellacious hottie known as "Miss HellKat";a.k.a Amy (pictured on the right).
I have known both of these ladies for about 7 years since back in the days when I started going to Gulf Coast indy wrestling shows when the both of them worked for Unified Championship Wrestling (UCW) over in Alabama.
Both of these lovely,young ladies both received their wrestling training under the tutelage from one of wrestling's most famous families known as the Armstrongs;Scott Armstrong (who is pictured on the right) and by local indy wrestler,"Awesome" Al Savage.
O.K.!FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT REMEMBERE AND USED TO SEE "AWESOME" AL SAVAGE BACK IN THE DAY WHEN HE WRESTLED,YOU CAN ALL START YOUR CHANT OF "AL-ICE" RIGHT NOW!!! LOL!
During their very short tenures in the wrestling business,these two beauties made quite a tandem both in & out of the ring as they were:
-Former Southern Pro Wrestling (SPW) tag team champions
-Former Southeastern Extreme Wrestling (SEW) tag team champions in BOTH the men's AND women's divisions!
They were managers/valets over in the Pensacola Wrestling Alliance (PWA) & also at the Pensacola Wrestling Federation (PWF).
Both were also managers,valets & ring girls for UCW.
MAN,DO I MISS THOSE UCW DAYS!!!
At one time in her career,
Amy/Miss HellKat (pictured on the right) was involved in a feud with "The First Lady Of Wrestling", MISSY HYATT !!!
BTW,just to let you know,I do run Kimberly's YAHOO ! group called:
MISS KIMBERLY'S PALACE
You can join her group by clicking here:

Both Amy's and Kim's wrestling careers unfortunately were cut short due to nagging injuries and other personal outside interests.
However recently,both of these ladies ALWAYS have an insatiable desire and interest to one day return to the squared circle in the roles of managers/valets.
LET ME TELL YOU;BETTER YET,LET ME CALL OUT EVERY WRESTLING PROMOTER THAT PROMOTES AND HAVE WRESTLING SHOWS IN THE GULF COAST AREA SOMETHING.....AND YOU GUYS KNOW WHO YOU ARE! (just like I said on the microphone when both of these ladies were in the ring with me at the SSW show last night):
SIGN BOTH OF THESE LADIES UP IN YOUR ORGANIZATIONS AND SIGN THEM UP QUICKLY BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T,IT WILL BE A HUGE LOSS FOR YOU,YOUR WRESTLING ORGANIZATION AND YOUR WRESTLING FANS !!!
Take it from me,all Gulf Coast wrestling promoters,these ladies have a great work ethic and both of them can bring a lot to your organizations,your wrestling audience and to your proverbial wrestling table!
BTW,promoters,you can get in touch with me in regards to Kim and Amy's availability
through my various "webs" of E-mail,internet and phone contacts.Just give me a holler,if you would please.
I invited Amy and Kim to accompany me to the ring after the 1st intermission.
It was very special day for Amy at the SSW show because it was her birthday!
The fans of the SSW and I sang "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" to her in honor of her birthday.
AMY ENJOYED IT VERY,VERY MUCH!
She thanked me and everybody in the audience for singing and wishing her a "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"
On a very sad and personal note,please keep Amy/Miss HellKat and her family in your thoughts and in your prayers.
Shortly than 24 hours after celebrating her birthday,Amy received some very sad and tragic news early Sunday morning (September 3rd) that her aunt had passed away......
All in all,it was great show for the SSW in Fort Walton Beach,FL.
A plethora of excitement and drama in all the matches that they had,not to mention the main event where T-Bolt,who took on and defeated "Redneck" Steve Fury,wrestled each other in a NO DISQUALIFICATION,NO TIME LIMIT match where both men fought inside the ring and outside by the concession stand and very close to the ringside seats.
We will certainly be hearing more from Southern Stars Wrestling in the weeks and in the months to come.
UNTIL NEXT TIME,WEBHEADS......
