A Royal Cheap Heat on the 26th!!

Well it's been confirmed, on November 26th I will be making my debut for SGWA in Booneville, MS and unlike the other writers on HollywoodJimmy.com who do interviews in the back then transcribe them into a column, I will be in Booneville in the middle of the ring live to interview, THE KING!! This should be the greatest Cheap Heat ever! I'm not gonna take it easy on him either, I'm gonna be asking the hard questions and getting his take on all the crap that's been going on around there and I'm sure he's gonna have plenty to say about it. I can't believe what all Neil Taylor and Leslie Jones have been up to in the past couple of monthes. Neil has certainly changed in the past few monthes since the last time I worked with him in XOW and I plan to tell him what I think of his new attitude while I'm in Booneville, not to mention Leslie E(lvis) Jones as well. But the important thing is before the challenge match takes place that was laid out in Selmer, TN. The fans will get to hear the King's take on things before he puts an end to those two once and for all. Should be one hell of a match.

Also, I will be making my wrestling return to the area on December 17th at the National Guard Armory in Fulton, MS! Don't have a lot of details on it yet but I'm looking forward to wrestling in Fulton again. Should be a lot of fun.

Well thanks for reading, be sure to come to Booneville on the 26th to see one of the biggest night of wrestling in North Mississippi in quite some time.

R.I.P. Eddie Guerrero




I was driving home from work today and decided to call my buddy Mike on my cell phone to tell him about something that's coming up. After I told him, he asked if I had been online today, I told him no that I'd been at work since 7 a.m. He told me that Eddie Guerrero had been found dead in a hotel room in Minneapolis. I couldn't believe it. It seems everytime you turn around another wrestler is dying, and the majority are from heart attacks and heart failure. It's very sad. Eddie was a tremendous wrestler who was one of the few who was equally gifted as both an entertainer as a character on the mic and as a wrestler in the ring. He will be remembered as one of the best. My heart goes out to the family he has left behind.
Much like Chris Candido, it's very sad to see what all he was able to overcome and after celebrating his fourth year of sobriety something like this happens. At least, he was able to overcome his demons and die a happy man who had came back from the lowest lows to reach the top of his chosen profession. I think everyone will always remember the scene at the end of Wrestlemania XX with Eddie and Chris Benoit in the ring celebrating their victories as World Champions after all the years they had put in to get there. God Bless"Latino Heat" and may he rest in peace.
