Upcoming
In the next two posts, I think I will1) cover CCW's humble beginnings, a disaster of a show that by all rights should have prevented anymore shows from happening, ever, but for the fact that I was too stubborn to quit and I had a need to prove that I could do it, and
2) CCW's final show, where we literally went out with a whimper, not a bang. Sabotaged by no-shows, with a rival promotion's show scheduled for later the same day, by this time CCW had been managed into the ground by short-sighted booking. The show only took place at all due to the loyalty and appearance of CCW's mainstays, whom, at the hands of the aforementioned booker, were misused, abused, and were basically the only thing keeping the shows going as long as they did.
It may take me a few days at least to wrap my head around these ones and the best way to present them. These are the tough ones, the absolute hardest ones to come to terms with. Especially the last one. I would have liked for it to have ended differently, and to have given the CCW loyalists one last chance to shine before CCW faded away.

Ahh, the good old days. My feelings for said booker are quite obvious and if not for him I honestly think CCW would have went longer then it did. He played favorites, way over paid outside guys and buried anyone local who remotely got over that didn't kiss his ass.
Still, all and all it was a damn fun time!
I'll go more into that in later posts..the unfortunate thing was, the last 3 shows probably wouldn't have happened either if he didn't pay the boys. It was a deal with the devil, and I always felt bad for the CCW faithful the way it worked out. You and Chris Wayne deserved better.
Hey, Wayne, I have a life..don't you think I have anything better to do than sit at the computer all day?
Ah, shut up. Who asked you.
I'll be posting soon...
