    Meeting MR. Cornette was the highlight of my year. He was right about the food place. Before the event I waited 20 minutes for one slice of pizza, and they had 6 people working at 2pm! I saw Cornette walking to the production meeting while I was waiting there, and it had already been 10 plus minutes waiting.

I will never again complain about the quality or availabilty of food in the various casinos of St. Louis.

    Jim your gambling strategy is the same as what my Grandpa taught me. I'm pushing 40 by the way. Also as a child who moved around a lot, across the country, you were my childhood. Oddly enough I always felt at home whenever I turned on the TV to watch wrestling you were on the shows. This was the 80' and early 90's before cable so being able to enjoy my favorite manager eased always being the new kid.

    Jim loves Olympus Wrestling because it has old timers in management. Forget it has next to zero talent and if it was under any other leadership he would call it a travesty and an insult to the business. With An airhorn to stop garbage matches early. But Jim got a paycheck and finds no fault with this promotion. If AEW, WWE, New Japan, TNA had that shit Jim would be pissing himself in rage for their mocking the business.
