From JRs website:
“The Legends of the Ring function that I attended Saturday in Monroe, New Jersey was well organized and seemed to be a successful event. I was set to sign for three hours, 9 a.m.- noon but had to stay an extra half hour to accommodate all those that were in line.
The organizers bought 11 cases of our product and they were really smart in how they marketed it and sold out every bottle. They mentioned that they wished that they had bought more. Me, too! It was a win/win for all involved. Hopefully we will earn some new customers for our on line business after folks in the Northeast try our products.
Dusty Rhodes had to pull out of the event late due to personal reasons and circumstances beyond Dusty’s control. I was looking forward to seeing ‘The Dream’ again as were many of his fans. Dusty was excited about the event and I’m sure that the WWE HOF’er will likely be back at the next LOTR function.
Vader has lost about 100 pounds and looks to be around 340-350 pounds. Diet, exercise, and no booze is working famously for the super heavyweight.
Vader’s son Jesse White recently signed with WWE and will be going to FCW soon to see if he has what it takes to earn a spot on a WWE roster.
Had a quick visit with Stacey Carter while she was out walking her dog. She’s braver than me as I wouldn’t have the patience to take a dog on a road trip via an airplane. Mike Tenay concurred.
Got a glimpse of Chyna entering the hotel was I was getting in a car to leave and head back to the Newark Airport. Didn’t get to visit with her but I hope that she does well with her next endeavor. I’m still not a fan of women wrestling men plus I NEVER said that Chyna did not deserve WWE HOF consideration, for the record.
DDP was in the area right beside me and he’s wound tight with boundless energy. That yoga routine must be suiting Page well. He’s very excited about the work that he did recently with WWE on the Best of Nitro out now on DVD. I hope that you check it out.
Good seeing Bill Eadie, who is either teaching or counseling youth, and Barry Darsow. The former duo known in WWE as Demolition were in great spirits. Barry and I talked about his days as Krusher Khrushchev and how hated he was in the Mid South Territory as the ‘evil, anti American Russian.’ Bill Eadie was one of the greatest masked men of all time for those who engaged in the business after Bill’s ‘Masked Superstar’ run. Eadie was an amazing promo guy.
The Godwin’s were a hoot to visit with and I got to spend some time with them on Friday night in the hotel sports bar. Henry and Phineas haven’t changed much. :)
Carlito looked really good, relaxed and was personable as usual to me. Heck of a talented young man who still resides in Houston.
Perry Saturn still lives in Minnesota but is getting weary of the cold weather there. Perry is an unique soul who has lived an equally unique life.
Sunny looked good and, by the say, would make someone a great manager. She has name identity, understands the business, and can talk. The recent WWE HOF’er still has the look and skill set to contribute to many entities.
I always enjoy visiting with JJ Dillon who is working within the Delaware Department of Corrections and has two children who attend the University of Delaware. JJ was head of WWE Talent Relations prior to me and we always commiserate on the good days and the challenging days of fulfilling that role.
The ubiquitous Raven was in Jersey after I had just seen him in Vegas at the CAC function. Raven is another person can who talk and might be an asset to a young talent who needs help establishing their body of work.
Maria never looked better, hasn’t aged a minute and says she’s staying busy with a variety of projects. What a nice, young lady.
Dawn Marie was her usual cordial, attractive self and its always nice to say hello to her and to get an update on her kids.
My hats off to the promoters of Legends of the Ring and I encourage all fans to make an attempt to attend one of their events. I understand the next one will be in October and for all the info stay tuned to http://www.legendsofthering.com. “
