Thoughts and Name Change

Hi folks. I haven't posted in a while, and I do apologize for that. I want to post as often as I can, and I will do that. Sometimes, the pressures of work gets in the way of pleasure. And that is what has happened here. First thing you will notice here is a name change. Just One Wrestling Fan has now become JR Is Redmask. I wanted to be inline with my twitter account, so I named the blog the same. Hopefully I can live up to the bar I am trying to set. Now for the thoughts.

Since the day I got Direct Tv in my apartment, I have been following one wrestling promotion very closely. That promotion is Pro Wrestling Ohio (PWO). Now why would a wrestling fan in Birmingham, Alabama follow a promotion from Ohio? Watching this promotion reminds me of the old territory days in wrestling. They don't have the big lighting that Impact Wrestling and WWE have. They don't have the mats around the ring. There are a lot of things they don't have that the "Big Boys" do have, but that is what makes this promotion great.

There is a situation in PWO which I have been following with interest. There was an incident on PWO TV in which "The Mega-Star" Marion Fontain was verbally accosted by a wrestling "journalist" by the name of Justin LaBar, of a fly by night web site called Wrestlezone.com. To set this up, Fontain was the PWO Champion, after winning the title in a clean, scientific way, against the former, or, as Gorilla Monsoon would have said, ex-champion, because it sounds more permanent, Johnny Gargano. In Fontain's first title defense on TV, he took on Jason Bane, to be known here as Magilla Gorilla Bane.

Bane broke all the known rules in the wrestling rule book, atacked the agent of Fontain's, Aaron Maguire, injuring his neck. Then, when the referee was down, threw an illegal clothline, held the tights, and stole the PWO title. After the match, Fontain was upset, and understandably so. What did Justin LaBar do? Well, watch the video below.

 

Justin LaBar verbally accosted Fontain, pushing him into an argument. An argument that Marion Fontain did not want. Fontain tried to be professional about this, but Labar kept the verbal assault, and may have said something about Fontain's mother. Fontain then slapped LaBar. And LaBar deserved it! Of course, Fontain gave a heartfelt apology later. Just watch below.

This apology even brought a tear even to my eye. But LaBar, being the jerk that he is, decided to do this.

Wow, he wants Marion Fontain in the ring with microphones! Just who does this LaBar fellow think he is anyway, Roddy Piper? And Fontain is supposed to be,  Morton Downey Jr.? First, if anybody has followed this thing from the begining, the the conclusion anybody should come to is that LaBar is the one at fault here.

A journalist is supposed to be objective, not taking sides of an issue, and not being a part of the story. LaBar put himself into the story. was unobjective, and took sides, going so far as to challenge Fontain to a duel of the mouths, if you will, in the ring. LaBar had better realize that once he steps through those ropes, anything goes. And, is LaBar finds himself upclose and personal with a turnbuckle, well, he brought it on himself.

See ya next time!
