Austin Says:
December 9, 2004
Alright, after weeks of procrastination I'm finally going to make an
attempt at my first commentary. I'm not the worlds fastest typer, which
eventually leads to frustration, so don't expect this to be the equivilent
of a 60 min. classic. Think of this commentary as a nice snappy 7 min.
curtain jerker.
My name is Austin Aries. I've been a wrestling fan for as long as I can
remember. My earliest memories are of Buck "Rock n Roll" Zumhofe with his
boombox, Ken Patera with his dancing pecks, and Jerry Blackwell with his
enormous gut. I was 5 when I went to the old Mecca Arena in Milwaukee and
witnessed one of my all-time favorite's, Bobby "The Brain" Heenan, team with
his man Blackjack Lanza to face Hulk Hogan in a steel cage! I never imagined
when I was growing up a closet wrestling fan, that one day I would get the
opportunity to be a part of the buisness that captivated me. Not many people
get to persue a career doing something they truly love. I have, and to all
of you who have helped and supported me along the way, I am greatful.
I am going to be extremely busy the rest of this month. I have a show for
Chaotic Wrestling on Friday in Massachusets. I then fly out to California
for 10 days where I'll be doing shows for Pro Wrestling WAR on the 12th and
Pro Wrestling Guerella on the 18th. In between those shows I'm going to get
together with one of my life long best friends who got me into the business,
Justin Lee, and train my ass off for my upcoming ROH World Title shot
against a man I have great respect for, Samoa Joe. On the 21st I fly home to
Milwaukee to spend X-mas with my family and then fly back to Philly on the
26th for the big match. What a way to close out the year!
Anyways, thanks for checking out my site. Look for a new commentary after
the holidays. I should be debuting some merchandise around then also... if
Santa's good to me. I wish you all a safe and happy holiday season. Safe
travels.

Aries Fun Fact : When you eat a hamburger you're eating piece of cow
that's been dead for over a year! Think how many chemicals and preservatives
it takes to keep a piece of dead animal "safely" edible for over a year.
YUMMMM....
