Stardate: 5.2.04
More odds and ends and assorted nonsense
My new favorite indie gimmick is the Evil Dr. Numbers. He is a diabolical mathematical genius and during his match, his partner will scream, "get the tables" ... and he gets the mathematics table ... hilarious. He replaces the guy who wears a Star Trek outfit and looks like Mr. Spock as my favorite ridiculous piece of indie business.
Scott D'Amore, my esteemed colleague, and one of the few people I speak to regularly, paid me a pretty cool compliment, against his better judgement of course. He said his houses in Detroit average about 300 people and when he brought me in for back to back shows, they jumped to 500 & 550. The next show without me dropped to about 400 with everyone else on the card exactly the same (although he did have Christopher Daniels, so maybe Daniels killed the house, we'll have to change his name from the Fallen Angel to the Fallen Houses, ha ha hee hee whoo, that was rich. Don't get your panties in a bunch, Daniels is actually my boy, he knows I'm kidding). Basically, D'amore said, I'm the only guy besides Lawler who actually makes a difference in the houses on the indie cards, which is pretty cool. Don't get me wrong, I'd much rather be in front of 15,000 people, but that ain't gonna happen, I'll take what I can get.
Talking about indie cards, it's a shame when I switched to the jeans and t-shirt look, I couldn't have installed some copyright plan. It seems everybody and their mother is wearing a t-shirt to the ring. As far as I can tell, no one wore t-shirts to the ring to wrestle in before then. Wait, actually, I think Steve Armstrong and Tracey Smothers might have wore them in Florida about ten years earlier, who am i kidding, I can't remember what I had for lunch. Anywho, I could be a wealthy man if I got a t-shirt royalty everytime someone wears a t-shirt to the ring to wrestle in.
In the immortal words of my attorney, Arnold T. Pants, Esquire, 'Pay up Fletch.'
