Words from Strozilla/ Legends and Beginnings

Hello everyone! Hope everyone is staying warm in these crazy winter months. I sure can't wait till springtime! Miss the warm weather and those hot days on the beach.
Just watched the WWE PPV "No Way Out." Some great matches on the show with a very emotional ending with Eddie Guerrero finally becoming the WWE champion. Eddie has bounced back from difficult obstacles and it is great to see him step up and become a new flag ship for the company. Truly an inspiration to anyone.
My condolences go out to the family and friends of "the originator of the Sunset Flip" Billy Parks. He revolutionized a maneuver that is wisely used in many wrestling matches today.
Thus far in February, its been a groundbreaking month for me as I debuted for the CWF getting requianted with Ron "The Truth" Killings and Chris Hamrick. I ended up being victorious in a tough handicap match with Mac Truck and Chameleon. During that night, debuted my new wrestling valet, former ladies wrestling great and former Tojo Yahamoto student Lady Amazon! Also got the privilege to meet former ladies wrestling legend Joyce Gable who trained former WWE women's champion Wendi Richter. It was great seeing other CWF talent like Marc Mandrake and Randy Walker too.
Then I made my return to Wilson, North Carolina after many years winning a very hard fought match against one of the rising stars in the industry, The Deacon. Afterwards, wrestling legend Ivan "The Russian Bear" Koloff came up and shock my hand. It was a great honor that I will never forget. Seeing former WCW/WWE star The Barbarian again was great. He told me about a road story involving him and Manny Fernandez that was just classic! I am currently training hard for my next WCEW world title defense February 28th in Rockingham , North Carolina for WCEW's "Winterslam 2004" show. This will be a "Turmoil of Titles" match where both my WCEW world title and the WCEW Hardcore title will be on the line. In this match, I will be teaming up with fellow Triple Heat partner Aaron Devil taking on Ouga Bouga and WCEW Hardcore champion Justin Fleeche.
In the months ahead, I am planning on wrestling more dates around the US and possiblly overseas. Working also on some more acting roles which will be revealed soon. I am currently working on my own autobiography book which is set to come out at either the end of this year or the beginning of next. This will be an autobiography on the highlights of my career and my many experiences. Will definitely keep you all onformed on my progress with it.
My wrestling school is coming along great. The students this past year have been training really hard and already have graduates doing well on the indy circuit. One of my current students Truitt Fields will be making his ring debut February 28th for WCEW. To find out more on the graduates and on trying out for the school. Email at

Tales from the Lair
"This was during one of my experiences overseas at a local promotion when I was in the ring with my partner at the time getting ready for a tag team match against two masked wrestlers (not sure of their ringnames..Los Infernos..guessing). The bell rings and the match starts. I was getting ready to lock up with one of the masked guys when he stopped and started to hold himself. The next thing I know, he is running back towards the lockeroom with the referee beginning to count him out! I then broke the count going to the back to find him. Turns out he was constipated and had to use the restroom. So finally we started the match. My partner goes to give him a sunset flip. But when he did, he brought the masked guys trunks down to his knees! The masked guy gets so embarrassed, that he crawled underneath the ring and wouldn't come out! So my team ends up winning by countout due to a '"flash" finish..lol. "
