This is what you get for digging deeper!

I enjoy creating content, sharing my views, and opening up discussion space for people with similar interests. But when I pondered the idea of creating a wrestling site, I wondered what I had to contribute to the scene. Sure, I’m more active than armchair wrestling fans who watch RAW and Smackdown on TV and then call it a day. I like going out to see my fair share of exciting, live wrestling. I normally attend 6-12 wrestling events a year. But, that’s a lot less frequent than some of the area’s most hardcore fans that attend a wrestling show or two every weekend. I guess that gives me some leftover time to maintain this web site and have other healthy interests and hobbies.

On September 28, 2008, I launched Wrestling Respect. The site was created with the intention of focusing on New England-based promotions plus Ring of Honor, Chikara, TNA, WWE, and all other organizations that run shows in the region. New England has a vibrant independent pro wrestling scene with wrestling events held almost every weekend. I reached out to the local promoters and asked them to include my e-mail address whenever they sent out an e-mail blast. Otherwise, I just keep my eyes open for new show announcements and add them the database. One area that I have a lot experience is conducting interviews with singers, producers, musicians, etc., but not with pro wrestlers. Since I already have the recording equipment, the passion and experience broadcasting and podcasting, and a desire to speak to the people I’ve enjoying watching live, on TV, and on the internet, why not start a wrestling podcast? So audio interviews have become a big part of the site and probably one of the top reasons you’re here.
