For the three or so people who read this and my Cheap Heat column, I'm sorry I've fallen behind. I've been real busy at work and when I'm at home my computer is always tied up burning dvd's for all the trades I've been doing. I wrote the majority of a column but didn't send it cause I wasn't sure how people would react, it's not really negative but probably some things people don't want to hear, even though they know it's true. Perhaps in the next few days I will finish it up and send it to Tia, or maybe I'll just scrap and write some more lame video reviews.....We'll see. I have to say I enjoyed Storm's recent "state of the business" address and agree with it wholeheartedly, not to sound like an old timer, but things have changed a lot of the past several years and not for the better, and I think it's time the WORKERS take back the wrestling business from the wannabes and pussies who polute rings all across the country.
Also, I picked up the recent edition of Pro Wrestling Illustrated and was shocked to see there was absolutely no mention of the recent retirement of Dwight Bradford. But if they had, I think it would have looked something like this............
Mississippi Wrestling Legend: Dwight Bradford retires at age 62 after an illustrious year and a half long career.
Tupelo, MS: Wrestling fans in Mississippi were saddened at the retirement of a "local legend" Dwight Bradford. Dwight lost a match to Neil "the Real Deal" Taylor on a DWA show FEATURING JERRY "THE KING" LAWLER in which the stipulation was if he lost, he must retire from wrestling. Who could forget all the monthes of memories he provided in his great "career", like his great feud in MUWA with Neil Taylor. Not to mention when he won the MUWA title from Neil Taylor or the time he won the DWA title in a classic match with Neil Taylor. Fans will always remember the series of tag matches in Ecru, with Mega Man Rodney Grimes and Neil Taylor, not to mention his brutal bullrope match in Oxford, MS against none other than Neil Taylor. But besides his MANY.....MANY........MANY matches with Neil Taylor he will also be remembered as the man who rode Jimmy Blaylock's coatails like a rodeo champ, perhaps longer than anyone in Hollywood Clique history. But on that faithful night in Tupelo, with Hollywood distracted with managing WWE SUPERSTAR JERRY "THE KING" LAWLER, Dwight would lose one last time to.........you guessed it Neil Taylor. Let us all take a moment to reflect on the career of one of the trues greats in Mississippi Wrestling history, Dwight "Death Wish" Bradford.
