Last night I went "Talkin' Houston Wrasslin'" on Blog Talk Radio again.

I did the second installment of "Talkin' Houston Wrasslin'" last night and had several guest call in and talk about all kind of things going on with Houston Pro Wrestling.

Jason Cook with CWF called in and talked about their youth clinic coming up next month, "Sexy" Steve DeMarco called in to talk about what's going on with IWE and their upcoming show on the 20th, M. Dirrrty called in right after words to correct a few things that Steve said and to give us some insight on the work of some of his clients and Tony Brooklyn called in and talked about the WOW/NWA-SW show tomorrow night in Cypress.

I also talked about the TASW show in Humble on Saturday and about a few other things. Listen to the podcast, leave me some feedback and let me know what you think! I did this show for 1 1/2 hours and could have gone longer. But was it too long? I'm not entirely sure what people want. I can do ti longer or shorter. Let me know. I'm also still not sure how often I should do this thing. Perhaps every Wednesday night? I kind of like the idea of that since there is no wrestling on TV on Wednesdays.

So, without further ado, here is episode #2!

I think you can subscribe via iTunes, but I haven't really checked into that. I guess I should.

First ever Talkin' Houston Wrasslin' is in the can and it went well!

I was joined on the phone by Biss, who is helping with WOW/NWA-SW and we talked live about what he's doing here in Houston and then I went to a pre-recorded interview that I did with Steve DeMarco, who is the booker for IWE. I also had brief run downs on what's going on with all of the area promotions and was happy to live chat with A.J. Maggot from Sydney, New South Wales, Australia and Jason "The Bar" Massey from Vineland, New Jersey who runs the Wrestling Randomness podcast that I've become a big fan of.

I know my friend Vanessa was also listening because she said so via Facebook, so that's awesome. If you missed it live, I have it for you RIGHT HERE!

As always, PLEASE let me know what you think. I'm open to all suggestions. I'd also like to know how often you think I should do this. Once a week, once every two weeks, or once a month? I'm not sure what would be best.

HOLY CRAP!?

I can't believe it's been over a month since I've updated this thing. I have been rather busy with work, fun stuff, trying to be a co-host for RBR Wrestling, and keeping up with local wrestling stuff.

Speaking of which, I created a new twitter account at twitter.com/HoustonWrasslin. I will post reminders of local wrestling events and news, when available. I've been much better at updating that than I have updating this place.

I have an updated schedule of professional wrestling events happening in the Houston area, so here it goes:


Oct 9 2009 7:00P Premier Wrestling Alliance @ Pearland VFW Hall (I will not be attending this event because of other conflicts)


Oct 9 2009 8:00P NWA-SW / World of Wrestling @ Cypress VFW Post 8905  (I WILL be attending this event)


Oct 10 2009 7:00P United States Wrestling Xplosion @ Onalaska Fall Festival I will not be attending this event because of other conflicts)



Oct 10 2009 8:00P Texas All-Star Wrestling @ Humble TASW Arena  (I will not be attending this event because of other conflicts)

 

Oct 16 2009 8:00P NWA-SW / World of Wrestling @ Willowbrook Sports Complex (I am more likely going to this one since it's closer)



Oct 16 2009 7:30P Texas Powerhouse Wrestling @ Alvin American Legion Hall (I MIGHT attend this event if someone wants to travel down there with me) 


Oct 17 2009 7:30P Xtreme Wrestling Organization @ Huntsville Johnson Coliseum  (I will not be attending this event because of other conflicts)

Nothing to see here

Pictures from Friday night's WOW/NWA-SW show will be up shortly. I didn't make it to the PWA show. I've been sleeping and working and had a little bit of beer at the Southern Star Brewery.

Nothing else to mention, really. Robb Zipp's life hasn't been very exciting, lately. That needs to change.

Texas All-Star Wrestling, Humble Bingo Hall, August 8, 2009

I wanted to hang out with my friend Lisa, take her to her first wrestling match, and see Davey Richers from Ring of Honor and just get out after being sick all week. I had fun, but I seriously doubt that I'll pay $15 a ticket for TASW ever again. Most of the matches were slow and predictable, with a few exceptions. Mysterious Q was great, as always. Davey Richards was great, but he could only be as good as his opponent, which was a tall task.

I did get some good shots, though. Here's the link to the photo album, for your consideration.

As previously stated, "Talkin' Wrasslin'" and "Count to Five" are on a brief hiatus. I want to turn my spare bedroom into a studio, create some intro videos, get some theme songs and make it something that'll actually be worth people's time, and mine.

This Friday at the VFW Post in Cypress is the WOW/NWA-SW show, which should be a good one. I'm most looking forward to the Claudia Del Solis vs. Darci match.

Saturday night at the Pasadena Convention Center is Booker T's PWA with guest from TNA, Samoa Joe. I'm not real high on PWA these days, but my friend who lives down there wants to go and take her kids and I think that'll be cool.

OK, then. Check out the photos and let me know what you think!
