Austin Says:
September 22, 2005
Hello all, sorry it's been so long since the last update. A lot of things
have been going on and I always find a way to forget to update my site.
Being a bit of a procrastinator hasn't helped either. In any event thank you
all for coming back to my site and sticking with me. I have a lot of
exciting news....
As some of you probably know, I've wrestled for TNA
on their last two PPV's. My experience down there has been great and I've got a lot of
positive feedback from not only within the promotion, but from their fans as
well.
I can confirm reports that I have received a contract offer from TNA.
I'm finalizing some wording in the contract and will officially sign it
early next week. TNA has a
great opportunity to make some noise in the wrestling industry and provide an
alternative to the WWE product
that fans haven't had for some time. I'm excited about the potential of
TNA and glad I'm going to be
part of it.
My contract with TNA will
have NO effect on my status within ROH.
It's been agreed upon that even with my TNA
signing I will be still be able to fulfill all my ROH
commitments, including not only being able to continue wrestling on their shows but
continuing to run the ROH School
during the week.
Speaking of the ROH School,
my students are coming along quite well. They've been working hard and have been
mixing it up with not only myself but with the likes of Ricky Reyes, Eric Mattlock,
and all the students from the previous classes. They should be "graduating" in
the next month or so. The next class is set to start in November. If your interested
in trying out you can e-mail ROHhelp@aol.com
for more info.
This weekend is ROH's second
annual Survival of the Fittest event in Boston. Last years event was what a lot
of people consider to be my break out match as Bryan Danielson and myself fought
a hard 25 minutes in the finals of the event. This year should be another great
card with some new up and comers trying to cement their names as main eventers.
Speaking of Bryan Danielson, a congratulations is in order for our new ROH
World Champion. I've always thought of Bryan as one of the best in the world
and now he has the title to prove it. Congats Dragon, you truly deserve it.
I'm gearing up for my first trip to the UK as I will be competing at 1PW's
inaugural show on Oct. 1st in Doncaster and for Main Event Wrestling on Oct.
2nd in Newcastle. I'll also be returning to England on Nov.11th, 12th, 13th
for a few shows including the UK Supershow.
I know, I know. I've been telling you my new Austin Aries shirts will be
available for ever, but this time I really mean it. My new Austin Aries
Wrestling Machine shirts will be done by next month. Check back here for all
the details.
Finally thanks to all you loyal supporters who frequent my forum, including
FishHookCrossface, Pykro, UV Iconoclast, RebeccaLynn, and Jammy Ninja. Even
if I'm not posting on forum I do check it out to see what you all have to
say, so keep posting and keep supporting yours truly. Thanks and till next
time take care and safe travels.
