I apologize for not making a new column sooner. Things have been going well for me as of late. Been pretty busy as of late. So let me tell you a little about it. I went to Summerslam in Raleigh , N.C. where I met some great fans who traveled far for the event as well as getting a chance to see some old friends. It was good seeing some of my old friends that I wrestled with (WCW,overseas,indies,etc) as well making new friends with the company. Just wanted to say thanks to the WWF and say they had a excellent show. I had a chance to bump into so old WCW comrades in Roanoke,Virginia. It was so funny that everyone had to do a doubletake to even recognize me with my new look..lol. But nevertheless, it is nice to be remembered.Thanks guys.

Wrestling in the independents has been a blast. Had a wild and crazy match with Demolition Ax in Hardeeville, SC. He still looks as big and as menacing as ever. During my stay in Hardeeville, I got a chance to meet an old friend of mine , Stan Lane (of Midnight Express fame). Stan still looks as fit as ever. Be watching for more broadcasting from him on ESPN. I had a crazy weekend this past one. I first wrestled up in Columbus, Ohio Friday night. The promoter for Real American Wrestling up there and the staff really treated me well as well as the great fans in attendance. I had the chance to meet an old sparring buddy from the shootwrestling days Dan"The Beast" Severn. He is still as tough as ever. Sharkboy (former WCW star) was there too. Got to see some great up and coming young talent compete.Then I flew out real early in the morning back to NC to wrestle at the "X-Fest" all day concert in Greenville N.C. The venue had an estimated 9000 people or more. I had teamed up with local radio DJ 99X's Tommy Collins to take on two former students of mine, Sevar The Bounty Hunter and Mr. Skrubb. Not only was it a crazy match, but we all were ducking and dodging bottles and other debris that the massive (and quite a few drunk I might add) crowd were throwing. All in all, the match was great and I just wanted to say that I am proud of my students . They have come a long way, have loads of talent, and will go far.

It was so cool to chat with Madonna in her AOL chat session promoting her new album "Music" last week. I have been a Madonna fan for a long time. She was very nice and very humorous to say the least. My webmaster/girlfriend Bizzybunny gives her best to everyone. Her, my webhost WebKat, and all of the stro.com staff are doing a fantastic job. Be looking out for Bunny's new website Bizzybunny.com on the net in the near future. As creative and as outrageous as Bunny is, it is a must see for sure!

Will be jazzing up my website www.thestro.com very soon. So expect a few changes in the upcoming weeks on the site..including a brand new chatroom. The Stro.com merchandise has been doing well. If you are interested in purchasing any Stro stuff, stop by the site and go to the merchandise section to see more! Get your friend or loved one some Stro merchandise for Christmas this year!

I am still in negotiations back and forth with the big three wrestling companies. It has been kinda of a slow process due to different issues with the respected companies and all. But nothing is ruled out yet for any of them. So as I like to say " Never say never" in the wrestling industry. I might just surprise ya!

Well I am off to start another fun filled day. You all feel free to stay in touch. Be good to one another. Take care and GOD bless!
