Welcome to CheapHeatRadio.com!

I wanted to write this as a bit of an introduction to the all new website.  If your here there's a good chance you've already heard all this on the radio show or read about it in the final days of RasslinRiotOnline but just in case you stumbled onto us by accident, here's what's up.

My name is Gene Jackson, I'm the host of Cheap Heat Radio and the writer of the 'Cheap Heat' wrestling column that has been around since about 2002.  I started this website to promote my radio show while also writing columns for Brian Tramel's RasslinRiotOnline.com.  Brian however has taken on some new responsibilities in his life and has shut down the RRO site leaving a void for the fans and workers of the Southeast who got their news and views on southern wrestling there.  Upon finding out that RRO would be shutting down I decided to expand CheapHeatRadio.com.  I've now added the 'Cheap Heat Indy Newz' page that will feature news, upcoming shows, results, as well as exclusive original columns from our team of columnists here at CheapHeatRadio.com.  For background on the columnists check out our 'Meet the Staff' page.

We also have a 'CheapHeatTv' youtube channel which will feature both past and present Indy wrestling. If you have a match you'd like featured you can send me a link to the video and we will post it to the newsboard and favorite it on the youtube page, or if it's not online you can upload it to a file share site and send me the link.

As another part of the 'Cheap Heat' brand, we'll be starting up 'Cheap Heat Entertainment'.  C.H.E. will offer professional grade DVDs to independent promoters and wrestlers.  We can take your raw video and add in commentary, menus, and design a cover (or use one you have designed) and make you dvds to sell on your website or at your shows.  The DVDs are professional grade and are cellophane wrapped and come with a UPC barcode.  The cost on these are very low and are great way to promote yourself or your promotion.  In the future we  are looking at adding a service where we will come video your show with an HD camera as well, depending on the interest shown in the service, this of course would require an extra fee.

Perhaps the feature of the site I'm most excited about will be the "Hot Stuff" Eddie Gilbert: Pro Wrestling's Uncrowned King.  This portion of the site will be online book on the life of Eddie Gilbert.  Originally intended to be published as an actual book, due to some conflicts we won't discuss the book will now be published a chapter at a time over the course of the next few months.  I'm very proud of this book and thankful to all those who helped me put it together which were many.  There will also be a TON of pictures included as well....many never before seen by the public. We will be begin posting the book in July of this year.

We will be adding more features as time goes on, perhaps a forum. We would love to have your feedback on the site, what you like....what you don't like....what would you like to see added.  If you have an upcoming show you'd like to featured on the news page, or results posted, a news story, or a question...please email the webmaster at webmaster@cheapheatradio.com.   Thank you for visiting the site....please check back daily!!
