Greetings and welcome to the views of myself, Doron D. Fantastic article on XPW by Lonnie (Sorry but it feels odd calling you ‘Mr.’)Anyways, I was working the other day and a friend of mine came into my shop. He told me of a backyard fed holding a show in Riverside, CA. After much thought I decided against going. It’s not because I’m cheap ($7 per ticket) it’s just that backyard wrestling is not something I give whole hearted respect to. Now before I get tons of hate mail/death threats, allow me to disect this issue further. Most of these so called “wrestlers” have not been trained nor do they consider the terrible consequences of their actions. I hope you backyard wrestlers do indeed read this. This trend is a dangerous with serious negative outcomes possible. Being a HOWARD STERN fan (I can smell the hate mail now), I have been subjected to this “Best of Backyard Wrestling” while watching his show on E!. From what I see, there are kids beating themselves senseless and frankly, it frightens me to no end. You kids(maybe some adults) need to seriously reconsider your actions. Paralysis and other horrible afflictions may render your body useless and for what? Is it to call yourselves “Wrestlers”? You all need to wake up, call up a REPUTABLE wrestling school, and get your formal training. Myself nor anyone else wants to see you kill yourselves for nothing
