Introduction

<blockquote>Who am I. You sure you wanna know.

 

Over the years I've been known by many names; Ricky G, RTG, Sweet Ricky T, Tricky Ricky and Rick Geddins. I've worked all over the world for promotions big and small. I've been on TV shows and won championships. I've headlined Pay-Per-Views and suffered serious injuries. I worked with legends and had meetings with wrestling icons such as Tommy Cornell and Richard Eisen.

 

Before all of that, I was just Ricky though.

 

My story begins in 1997. I was 19 and living a day at a time. Life wasn't hard but it certainly wasn't glamorous. I lived in my parents basement in Queens and spent watching too much TV. Wednesday nights in was a tradition as our group of friends sat down to watch SWF's Supreme TV and HGC's Hollyweird TV. We would compare the shows and practice moves on each other. Another show we used to watch was Awesome To The Max, but that was more for the laugh factor. The show was awful and got pulled in early 1997. It was the beginning of the end for AMW and it spent a couple of months in court before their owner bolted with all the cash.

 

On Saturday's we would head down to the local gym where we once more practiced our moves. The gym was run by Rocky Streets. Rocky had been a SWF career worker who had been entered into the SWF Hall Of Fame in 1995. Upon retiring, he'd come back to the gym that he had trained in as a youngster to work with the next generation. We had bugged him constantly and eventually he had agreed to teach us.

 

We'd been sparring one day when a guy in our group came up with an idea. His name was William Fletcher. He thought that since the Tri-State area was buzzing by what came to be known as the East Coast Wars, that we should try cash in on it. The seventeen of us pooled our cash which totaled $1,000 and approached Rocky who was very open to the idea. He pulled a couple of strings and before we even knew it, he told us that we needed to name the company as the fliers would be printed soon.

 

We had no popularity, no momentum, no prestige & $1,000 behind us. What could have possible gone wrong?

Looking back at that first show we ran, I wish I had written down more details such as times and types of finishes, but the team was too giddy. We had canvassed the neighbourhood with fliers but the attendance was underwhelming. 10 people in the crowd and most were just family members.

After the show we looked over the finances. $60 was taken at the door and $40 of merchandise. I remember these figures clearly because Patterson came up and grabbed it for his cut. Rocky informed me that our sponsers had luckily paid out in our set-up month so even losing $926, we still had $3,367.

I hate Tempest.

 

Jack Glowson (0-0) Vs Nathan Black (1-0)

Disco Jack will win this match. Once the party starts, there is no end!

Is Brookfield retiring? If so, what better way to go out than on top.

 

Mexican Beast (0-0) Vs Ricky Thomas Geddins (0-2)

Mexico > RTG jobber.

Brookfield isn't retiring. He just costs more than almost the entire other matches in total

Hello chilllllldren, it's the one, the only, the Messiah of The Dancefloor Jack Glowson baby! Last week wasn't so hot for me but according to this fancy new ratings system me and ol' Nate tore the house down and had the best match. And this month, I get a tea-sipping, fun-killing bore from England to contend with. If there is one thing I hate more than punk music and people trying to tell me that disco is dead, it's boring giants who can't wrestle or dance. So keep your eyes peeled for the debut of the Party Starter as I pin that big lump. And now for my inside scoop on who will win at Impact Wrestling 4!

 

Mike Benson (1-0) Vs Wolfgang Zimmerman (0-1)

I'm rooting for Benson to win. He's got some killer moves and someone with the surname Zimmerman will never win. Seriously, Zimmerman is such a bad name!

 

Danny Patterson (0-1) Vs Jack Glowson (0-1)

Do I even need a reason? It's painfully obvious to see.

 

Mexican Beast (0-1) Vs Nathan Black (2-0)

Nathan is evidently the top dog round these parts with yours truly being a close second.

 

Panda Mask (0-1) Vs Ricky Thomas Geddins (1-2)

Guys, gals, it's a freaking wrestling panda. I don't need to say anymore.

 

Keep on dancing baby!

Jack Glowson

 

(I would like to point out that Jack Glowson's views are not my own. I'm merely the man's official typist. ;):p)
