Worst decision in pro wrestling history...

Anyone that is a professional wrestling fan and has watched it religiously throughout their lives knows that there have been bad decisions made at times.  Whether that is matches that were put together, or if it was directions for individuals, they were bad decisions nonetheless.  Bad decisions are part of any business, it is how you rebound from these decisions and make sure not to make them again that measure success.

In my opinion, there is one decision in professional wrestling history that absolutely ruined the business over the past decade.  This decision started off as one of the greatest moments in pro wrestling history, but the way that it was handled was awful and ended up leading to disaster.  That decision was Vince McMahon’s decision to buy WCW in 2001.

Now I say that this was one of the greatest moments is wrestling history because it is one that always sticks out in my mind.  I still remember my dad and me watching wrestling when this happened and saying “wtf is going on?”   When Shane McMahon walked out onto WCW and the same show was being broadcasted on both channels, it was crazy.  It was one of those moments that WWE could only wish to have nowadays.  There was so much potential there, but I believe that they did not really have a plan in the first place.

I say that this decision was one of the worst ever for a few reasons:

1.)  Vinnie Mac bought out his competition, therefore giving the fans only one choice for pro wrestling.  I understand why he made the decision to buy WCW, but it did not do what he wanted it to.  Vince wanted to be the end-all-be-all of pro wrestling, but all it did was make fans of pro wrestling in general say “I don’t like this product, therefore I don’t like pro wrestling anymore.”  Nowadays, some of those fans have come back around and become pro wrestling fans again since there are other options, but there are still many out there that have not.  To “normal people” pro wrestling is pro wrestling, no matter what company it is that they are watching.  So if they do not like one place in particular, they do not like pro wrestling overall.

2.)  The way that the purchase of WCW was handled was ridiculous.  Rumor has it that the original plans for WCW were to have a legit second company where WCW would take over the Smackdown TV slot.  WCW was to be run as a completely separate entity, rather than being the bullshit invasion group that it was on WWE TV.  If this would have happened, it would have given fans “another option” to watch and continue to build that “competitive feel” between the two companies.  Even though both companies were “technically” owned by WWE, the everyday wrestling fan would have still seen it as 2 separate companies because they would not know what was going on behind the scenes.

I still think that if WWE would have handled the purchase of WCW a different way, the professional wrestling industry would be completely different today.  WCW would probably still be around to this day and be doing something completely different than what the WWE currently is.  TNA/Impact Wrestling probably would have never even been created, or at least would not have gotten off the ground, therefore not making the stars that came out of there.  Guys who are currently on the independents doing nothing could have been stars because there would have been another company to go to.  Their lives would have been completely different if they would have had another opportunity with a different company.  Maybe even ROH would not have been started at all, or would have been something completely different because there would have been different talent on their first shows.  Who knows?

What I do know is that the business of pro wrestling has been down for the past decade, compared to what it was the decades before.  It is not “cool” to be a fan anymore.  UFC has taken many of those old pro wrestling fans and turned them into MMA fans, for whatever reason.  Hey, if you want to watch two guys lay on the ground with each other for 10 minutes, wear Tapout and Affliction shirts, and not be entertained, then UFC is for you, “bro”.  If you want to see action and entertainment, then turn on pro wrestling and enjoy.

What is in the past is in the past.  WWE did buy WCW.  WWE did drop the ball with how they handled WCW (and ECW).  There is no changing that.  The only thing that the WWE and all of us can do is to move on and try to find ways to make wrestling cool again.

I actually think that the WWE could realistically bring back WCW somehow in a newly re-packaged format.  I have gone on record saying that the guys on FCW and NXT are more entertaining, to me, than the guys currently on WWE TV.  Take those guys, bring back WCW, and make it into a show.  The fans do not know that these guys are all signed by WWE.  Most of them are good enough to hold their own in the ring anyways.  Why keep them stuck in a corner of Florida?  Put them on TV and start making money off of them now.  My suggestion would be to bring in Dave Lagana (former head writer for Smackdown and the re-booted ECW) and have him write for WCW.  The reason that I suggest Lagana is because he has a completely different vision for a wrestling show compared to the rest of the WWE, in my opinion.  He could make a new version of WCW something completely different than the WWE, and use young talent from FCW & NXT to their full advantage.

The possibilities for WCW could have been, and are still, endless.  So many things COULD have happened, but some many things CAN STILL HAPPEN!  I was a WCW fan when I was a kid, and I would be a WCW fan if they brought it back.  #BringBackWCW

"It's not gay, it's pro wrestling..."

Hello, my name is Ernie Ballz, and I am a professional wrestler.   (Hi Ernie…)

I wear tights and roll around with sweaty men inside of a box that is surrounded by ropes.  I get naked in a small room with other men on a weekly basis.  It’s not gay, it’s pro wrestling…

I strut around like a jackass just to get a reaction from people who normally would look at me like I am mentally ill.  I wear the most ridiculous outfits that I can create in my mind that would make Elton John & Rupaul have an aneurism.  It’s not gay, it’s pro wrestling…

I drive hours away for shitty money with 2-3 other men in my car smelling like farts and sweat.  The “normal” public sees me as a weirdo, while I just see this weird shit as being normal.  It’s not gay, it’s pro wrestling…

I walk through Target and get excited when I pass the toy aisle because I want to see what figures they came out with.  I worship a man that used to play the bagpipes, wore a dress, and hit people with coconuts.  It’s not gay, it’s pro wrestling…

Normal people do not understand the passion that I have; they just see it as a “phase.”  I tell them about a show and they either look at me like a deer in headlights or laugh at me.  It’s not gay, it’s pro wrestling.

I have spent 10 years of my life in an industry that most would not last 10 minutes in.  I am 28 years old and feel like I am 50 because of the punishment that I have taken from other men.  It’s not gay, it’s pro wrestling…

I worry more about my appearance more than a 14 year old girl whose boobies have not come in yet.  Many of the men I wrestle with have made tanning a part of their everyday schedule.  It’s not gay, it’s pro wrestling…

Pink is a color that is acceptable for men to wear in our industry.  A man with the nickname of “the Hammer” and a man with a move called “the Thump” are legends in our industry.  It’s not gay, it’s pro wrestling…

A man that dressed like a woman, threw flowers to the crowd, and called himself “Gorgeous” changed our industry forever.  The more flamboyant and over-the-top that you are in our industry is the better that you are.  It’s not gay, it’s pro wrestling…

I am an athlete…

I am an entertainer…

I am a professional wrestler…

Your website is "the window to your product"...

Recently, I have been re-designing a few websites for wrestling promotions.  When I do a website for anyone, I always go out and pull ideas from other websites in that given industry.  I never steal code or copy an entire website, I just take a look at what everyone is doing so that I can get an idea of what I am up against as far as the competition in that field goes.  It is important to know what your competition is doing, but you should never dwell on that or base all of your decisions around that.  Being original and doing your own thing is still a very important part in any type of business decision, as long as it is a smart decision and the right decision.

Anyways, while I was going around looking at certain promotion's websites, I realized that many of these sites are never updated at all.  Roster pages have not been updated in almost 2 years on some of these sites, and there are people on there that I know for a fact do not even wrestle there anymore.  The news section is all out of whack and does not even have updated information on it.  The last results posted were from a show that happened over last Summer.  It's pathetic, to be honest with you.

I always learned that your website is "the window to your product."  Basically, that means that your website is the first thing that people see when it comes to whatever you are selling.  Nowadays, if someone wants to find something, they get on Google and they find it.  So if someone hears about a wrestling promotion, they will Google it and take a look at your website or subsequent websites that talks about your company.  If your website looks like shit and is not updated, then the people either think, A.) this promotion sucks because their site looks like shit, or B.) this promotion is not running anymore because the information is not updated.

Having a shitty website that is not updated will turn customers away.  Let me put it to you this way; you can have the shittiest wrestling company in the world running shows, but they have an amazing website, so they have people coming to shows because those people think that this wrestling company is a bigger deal than what it really is, just based on what their website looks like.  On the flip side of that coin; you can have the best company in your state running top-knotch shows, but their website looks like shit and does not translate what their product is to the end-user (the fan).  Therefore, fans look at this website and assume that this place is a shit-hole and do not go to their shows.

This all becomes EXTREMELY important if you are trying to sell DVD's, shirts, or anything else through your website.  If your site looks like shit, that fan assumes you are shit, and does not buy your products.  Also, many of the sites that I ran across had way too much bullshit on their site that did not need to be there.  What I mean by bullshit is JavaScript that makes pictures scroll or makes shit flash or blink or something like that.  Many people call these "bells & whistles."

The overal goal of a wrestling promotion's website is to:

• Give information about what the wrestling company is all about.
• List a roster of wrestlers that actually wrestle there (not guest appearances or "legends").
• List results from previous shows.
• List upcoming events with information.
• Showcase products for fans to purchase (DVD's, shirts, posters, etc...)
• Provide contact information for whatever reason it is needed.

In my opinion, I feel that the "K.I.S.S." method comes into play, Keep It Simple Stupid.  Don't sit their and add shit to the website just for shits and giggles or because you think it is cool.  Only add things to the website that your feel are of actual use to the end-user (the fans).  Think of how the website would operate for a brand new person visiting it.  Is the information easy to find?  Is the navigation simple to use and functional?  Is the information updated on a regular basis?  Etc....

There are so many other things that I could list here, but that would take way too long.  Another piece to this website puzzle is social media sites like Facebook and Twitter.  If you have social media sites on top of your actual website, then all of the sites should be linked together somehow, so that the fans can visit all of them, which will increase your web traffic and web-presence.  Also, all of these site's information needs to match up with the other ones.  Don't just post something to Facebook or Twitter and expect everyone to see it.  Put the information on all of your sites so that you can ENSURE everyone will see it.

The biggest issue that I have with the advent of websites for wrestling promotions is the fact that promoters feel that this is the only way to contact people anymore.  This is a two-fold problem as well, so let me start with the first part.  The first part of this problem has to do with the fans.  Promoters feel that they can just post their information about their upcoming shows online and expect everyone to see it and come to the show.  Well, that may work for the people that frequently visit wrestling sites or your site in particular, but what about the "normal people?"  What about the people that are not necessarily die-hard wrestling fans, but would probably enjoy checking out your show?  How do they find out?  That's why it is important for promoters to still use outlets like radio, tv, newspaper, or just good-ole-fashion fliers to promote thier shows as well.

The second part of this problem involves the promoters contacting the wrestlers who they want on their shows.  I can count on 1 hand how many times that I have been formally contacted to wrestle on a show within the past few years.  Many of these promoters just assume that I know that I am on a specific show.  Fuck that.  Pick up the phone and call me or send me an email or direct message somehow.  I have no idea that I am on your next show asshole, and if you don't say something to me, I AM going to take another booking.  Just because the promoter knows about the upcoming shows does not mean that all of the wrestlers do.  It's a give and take relationship between promoters and wrestlers, and it takes both parties cooperation to make things work.

I think the point here is to just make sure that if you have a website, it is updated regularly, simple, and easy to use.  Promoters, don't sit there and assume things. Contact your talent for the shows personally, make sure they are good to go and let them know what is going on. Post the info for your shows everywhere that you can and use other methods to reach "normal people" so that we can turn them into fans.  When you assume things, that's when you get 50 people at your show, with 20 guys in the back that you need to pay.  That's when promoters skip out at intermission and no one gets paid at all.  That's not the way to do business.  Be smart and do things the right way.  I would say that 80% if business is common sense and that your website is a vital part of any business today.

Youth Movement in the WWE?...

Recently, I began watching FCW (Florida Championship Wrestling) on YouTube.  Being the developmental system for the WWE and the fact that I know some of the people down there now, I figured I would check it out.  Needless to say, I was blown away by how entertaining it is.

I have also been hearing about NXT a little more as of late as well, so I went and checked it out also.  I used to watch NXT when it was on TV, but just felt that it was a hassle trying to watch it online and it was always fuzzy anyways.  Since I bought an iPad, it is a whole different story.  The picture is clearer than a computer and it is just like watching it on TV.

Anyways, my point is that both FCW and NXT are more entertaining than what they are featuring on TV, in my opinion.  So I guess the question to answer is....why?  I think that the reason that both of these shows are better to watch is almost like how college football is more entertaining.  The guys on FCW and NXT are out there busting their asses to get a spot on the "main show."  I am not saying that the guys on TV are not busting their asses, but the FCW/NXT guys are doing a lot of different stuff, while the "main roster" guys that just stick to what they do.  These younger guys are more innovative, and putting together matches better than the guys on TV right now.

Maybe it is becaus they are hungrier and trying to earn their spot.  Maybe things are a little more free-reign on these shows and they have more say in how they present themselves.  I am not 100% sure what IT is, but I like IT.  People like Tyson Kidd, Curt Hawkins, and Johnny Curtis have entertained me more in a few episodes than other people on TV have in years.

Both shows give off a ECW-type of feel to me.  It's a feeling that I have not felt in years when it comes to watching wrestling.  It's a good feeling, and I hope WWE takes notice of it and makes changes to put these guys on TV as soon as possible.  There's a youth movement in the WWE, and I feel better about the future of our business after watching FCW & NXT.

Tag Team = Marriage...

It's pretty well-documented that the majority of my career in the wrestling business has been dominated by being a part of a tag team.  Along with my tag partner "The Natural" Brian Bender, we formed a tag team called Team Clash that lasted 6 years and turned us into one of the best teams in the Midwest.  It is a time of my career and my life in general that I will never forget, just because of all of the good times that we had together.



Team Clash - Ernie Ballz & Brian Bender

I get people who constantly ask me why Bender and I were such a good team.  I always answer that we were a legit team.  We rode together, hung out together, and basically broke into the business together.  The key to being a good tag team is to not try to make it, it just has to be.  We were the real deal.

The name Team Clash came because we are two completely different people.  Bender is more of a serious guy with a basic style, while I am a goofball with a little bit more of a flashy style.  Even though we were different in so many ways, we pretty much had the same sense of humor, which I feel was our real connection at first.

Throughout the years that we tagged together, we just started to think alike and kind of know what the other guys was thinking as well.  This is not something that can be taught, it is just something that comes with time together.  We had done a lot of the same stuff in matches and watched a lot of the same footage for inspiration (mostly Brain Busters & Hart Foundation) and it showed in the way that we worked together.

When I broke my ankle in 2009 and had my surgery, Bender I held a few different sets of tag titles, which basically forced him to either defend them himself, or find someone to replace me.  Well, it's not that easy to just replace a tag partner and expect the same results.  It sucked, but there was not much that I could do about it.  But it sucks even more because that was kind of the nail in the coffin for Team Clash overall and we have not really tagged up since.

Ohio Championship Wrestling Tag Team Champions

I would like to get the two of us back together, but Bender has a lot of other stuff going on in his life, and he does not seem interested in wrestling much anymore.  I know that the two of as a team still have A LOT to offer, especially in the promotions that I currently work for.  I plan on trying to get that ball rolling soon enough and hopefully Bender is receptive to it.

The point of this whole blog is that tag team wresling really is like a marriage.  Bender and I constaly fought about things, but we always seemed to work together to get through it somehow and come out better on the other end.  Tag wrestling is all about making a commitment and sticking to it.  Going out and wrestling singles matches is almost like cheating on your tag team partner.  And if the two of you do stick together, you get better year after year and turn yourselves into a hot commodity.  Great tag teams are hard to come by, but I can honestly say that I feel Team Clash was just that, great. 

I cannot tell you how many times I wanted to go off on my own while we were tagging, but now that I have, I miss having Bender there with me.  It might sound gay or whatever, but it is a special bond that you make, especially when you tag as long as we did.  We were together for 6 years, and hopefully we will tag again soon and revive Team Clash.  Thinking individually and working collectively, that's what it is all about.

We make the business, the business does not make us...

I know that I talk a lot about us changing wrestling for the better, but well, that's the whole point to this blog.  Personally, I feel that things like UFC and reality TV have hurt our business over the past decade and the only people that can change that is us.  We make the business, the business does not make us.  Some people may disagree with that statement, but from an actual business standpoint, it is dead-on.  A business is only going to be as successful as the people that are in it, no matter what industry you are in.  Sure, a CEO can walk away from a company and that company will be fine, but the company makes sure that the new CEO is just as good as the last one, if not better.

The same logic can be used for the wrestling business; because it is only as good as the people that are in it.  Whether that is promoters, wrestlers, managers, referees, or anyone else in the back, everyone does their small part to make this business better, or worse.  I feel many people only focus on the bigger companies and not much on the smaller places.

I compare people in the wrestling business to voters; a small contribution is all part of a bigger picture.  It's like any other industry, where each person does their small part to make a larger product in the end.  So that is why I always talk about how important it is for even the smallest of indy wrestling company to treat things as a business, rather than a hobby.  If even one company in a state treats it like a joke and does not care about making money at all, then everyone else feels that it is okay to do that also.  We should be pushing each other to be better.  We should be working together to make money, rather than acting like one place is better than another.  NO promoter on the indies makes enough money to live comfortably, so technically, no one is better than anyone else, we are all equals.

I posted about all of this awhile back when I talked about running almost tiny territories.  The idea is to build an area, build the buzz about pro wrestling as a whole.  I said in that post that there is a power in numbers, and I really feel that many people do not realize that.  One person tells this person, then they tell someone, so on and so forth.  Put your pathetic excuse for an ego aside and work together man.

So I guess my point here is that each and every one of us in this business can make a difference somehow.  Figure out what that difference is that you can make, and do everything you can to help this business that we love.  Like I said, it is like being a voter, each person counts in the big picture.

We are not invincible...

A little over a week ago, I went down to Coshocton, OH to train at the Big Guns Academy, which is Ohio Championship Wrestling's official training center.  I have just been trying to stay in the ring a little more frequently, so that I can keep the rust off.  Well, when I was down there, I really did not do much at all.  But for some reason, I have had a pain in the right side of my neck for over a week now.  The pain is so bad at this point that it is starting to shoot into my right shoulder as well.  Pretty sure that it is just a pinched nerve or something, because I have done that before and the pain USUALLY goes away within a few days.  This pain is hanging around for some reason and really starting to nag at me.

In 2009, I broke my left ankle in a match in Detroit, which forced me to have surgery.  I now have a plate and 2 pins in my left ankle and it still bothers me every now and then to this day.  The days that I spent in the hospital from that surgery were probably the worst moments of my life.  I never want to have to go through that ever again.

Anyways, my point here is that none of us are invincible.  None of us have thousands of dollars to pay medical bills, because most indy wrestlers do not have health insurance, for whatever reason.  Most guys out there who wrestle think that it is just normal to get injured, get fixed, and get back into the ring.  Well, that may be okay with some, but definitely not me.  If I get hurt one more time, I am done with the actual wrestling part of things.  I will probably stick around as a manager, commentator, referee, or something like that, but I will NEVER wrestle again.

I guess what I am trying to get at is, if you are going to wrestle, then get insurance, somehow.  Whether that means getting a "real" job where you can have insurance, or paying for it yourself somehow.  It is worth it in the long-run.  It has almost been 3 years since I broke my ankle and I did not have insurance at that time.  I am still paying off the bills from that to this day.

Don't be stupid.  There is no use in getting yourself dropped on your head or falling from the top rope to the floor.  The WWE is not looking for people that can do that crap anymore.  Hardcore is dead.  It's about being a smart competitor now with a personality and keeping yourself in shape and fresh.  Work smart, not stupid.

Break out of your bubble...

I will be the first to admit that I am not your normal "indy wrestler."  Currently, I work for about 2-3 places on a regular basis and kind of just stay inside of "my bubble."  I am comfortable with the places that I work, and the people that work there.  The days of driving 4 hours away for $10 and a hot dog are over for me; I have been there and done that.  Outside of wrestling, I have a pretty good job that pays me well.  I have a girlfriend, a dog, and a house to take care of.  I have friends, family, and other things to keep me occupied for the most part.

I have worked for the WWE and it was not my cup of tea.  Too much walking around on egg shells and hoping that you don't step out of line and direspect someone.  I'm really just proud that I can say that I am satisfied for once in my life, after stressing and worrying about things in wrestling for so long.  I am comfortable with what I have done and where I am at in wrestling, and constatly look for other ways that I can contribute to the business as a whole. (like this blog)

In my opinion, it takes a certain kind of person to be successful in wrestling.  Relationships, family, friends, a "real" job; those all take a backseat to wrestling.  It's all about working as many shows as possible to make as much money as possible and get your name out there so that you can go to "bigger and better" places.

When getting into the business and first starting to try to get onto shows, I feel it is important to surround yourself with the right people.  Find the people that you know are good, are in the main events of the shows you want to be on, and have been doing it for years.  Pick these guys brains, offer to drive them to shows, basically, do whatever you need to do to learn from these guys.  They are the ones at the top on your level, so they are the ones that you should be talking to.  Be respectful, shut your mouth, and learn.

Once you do start getting bookings, work as many of them as you possibly can.  If you are single, then why the hell are you not on shows all weekend long?  Get your ass out there and work man.  And when it comes to actually getting bookings, it's all about staying on the promoter's ass about bringing you in and having "something" to offer once they do.  Some guys look like a million bucks but have no personality, some are fat as shit but are entertaining as hell.  It's just about having "something" that makes you that much different than someone else.

Work any show that you can get onto for your first 2 years in the business just to get experience.  Once year 3 rolls around, you should be getting booked by better places anyways, but, either way you can pick and choose a little bit.  There are people out there like Colt Cabana and Sami Callihan that are known for being on a show here, then being on a show hundreds of miles away the next night.  That's what getting your name out there is all about.  It's about creating a buzz behind yourself somehow.

I guess my point here is to tell everyone to break out of "your bubble" more if you REALLY want to do this.  The easiest way to get into the WWE now is to save the fucking money up and go to FCW, plain and simple.  If you want to get to that level THAT BAD, then why are you not moving to Tampa?  I will tell you what it is....EGO!!!  People's egos get in the way and they something like, "fuck that, I have been in the business for 5 years, I'm not paying to go train again."  Ok....well then I guess you don't want to work for WWE that bad then.  You can't just sit around and wait for Kristen from WWE to call you to be an extra for the rest of your life and hope that William Regal likes your tryout match.  That is literally like a 1 in a million shot.  If you take your ass to Florida an pay for the school, you already have one foot in the door then.  You have to get you ass out there and do what you have to do to get where you want to go.  That's not just a lesson for wrestling, that's life.

Let's start a revolution...

Ever since about Christmas time, I have become addicted with Colt Cabana's "Art of Wrestling" podcast.  If you have not checked it out yet, then head over to www.WeLoveColt.com and check it out.  Colt is one of the guys out there that is really trying to help the business and take it to new levels.

Anyways, on one of his podcasts, Colt interviews Kenny Omega.  I was not familiar with Kenny Omega beforehand, but after listening to the podcast I went online and checked out some of his stuff.  Not too shabby.  During the podcast, Colt asks Kenny what his goals are in the wrestling business.  Kenny answered by saying that he is really out to reinvent wrestling and make it "cool again." (which we have also heard from C.M. Punk as well)

The answer really made me start to think about things a lot.  It was one of those things that just changes the way you think about things overall and opens the floodgates to all of these new ideas.  Omega is right, because there is no flowchart for wrestling at all.  Some people may think there is, but there really is not.  It's all about giving the fans what they want, period.  Giving each and every person that comes and pays money to watch the show an entertaining experience.

I really do feel that the business has changes, which many people would probably agree with me on.  What people probably won't agree with me on is the fact that many of the "old school" ways are outdated and waste of time stressing over anymore.  Things that worked in the 70's and 80's are not going to work today, just because the world is completely different, which I feel is due mostly to technology.

Things like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and all other websites and whatnot has revolutionized the way that people see the wrestling business.  The fans have a closer look to who each of us is personally.  They have nearly unlimited access to videos of matches and promos.  Social media has changed the way that many shows are promoted.

My point to all of this is that everyone is linked together nowadays.  We should not be doing things "the way they always have been done" just because it is "the right way."  We should be doing whatever the hell works, because that is the way to make money in this business and take things to a whole other level.  Making money is "the right way," no matter what year it is.

Use all of these tools that we have nowadays to do something different.  It's not necessarily about putting on a 5 star wrestling show anymore, it's about giving the fans "an experience."  It's about making them walk out of that building, go home and tweet or post about the show on Facebook  so that all of their friends find out about what is going on.

The problem with all of this is that people in general are just lazy and feel that one person cannot make a difference.  EVERYONE, both fan and wrestler, can make a difference and take this business to a whole new level.  Be proud of being a wrestling fan.  Wrestlers, come up with something cutting-edge and relevant that the fans can get into.  Promoters, pay the the extra money to use good talent and treat them well.  It's all about little things that add up in the long-run.

My challenge to everyone who reads this is to step back, look at yourself and the business as a whole.  What skills do you have that can make wrestling better?  Take those skills and use them to help out.  One person at a time, we will get the word out there.  One person at a time, we will start a revolution.  #LetsChangeWrestling
