This page will look at some of the other "top ten" lists I have compiled. Remember that this is just my opinions. I do not wish to force my opinions on anyone. This is meant to spark memories and conversations about days gone by. I hope no one takes this page too seriously.
WELL IT'S THAT TIME. I HAVE FINISHED THE "2001 P.A. AWARDS" AND HAVE POSTED THEM FOR ALL OF THE WRESTLING WORLD TO SEE. LIKE ALL OF THE PREVIOUS YEARS I HAVE THOUGHT LONG AND HARD ABOUT EACH CATAGORY AND BELIEVE I HAVE MADE A RESONABLE CHOICE IN DECIDING THE WINNERS. A WHOLE YEARS WORTH OF MATCHES, ANGLES, AND STORYLINES ARE NOT ONLY HARD TO REMEMBER BUT WITH ALL THE GREAT TIMES, IT WAS DIFFICULT TO PICK THE BEST OF THE BEST.

THESE ARE JUST MY STUDIOUS OPINIONS BUT THEY ARE BASED ON A JOURNALIST POINT OF VIEW. I KNOW I'LL CATCH HELL FROM SOME OF THE GUYS IN THE LOCKER ROOM FOR THIS, BUT IT'S ALL PART OF THE FUN.

ROOKIE OF THE YEAR: BRIAN STORM
RUNNERS UP: RAY BOB, BRENT LIGHTNING

MOVE OF THE YEAR: SPIKE ROGERS' SPIKE HIGH
RUNNERS UP: BILLY JACK'S ONE ARM CHOKESLAM

FUNNIEST INSULT: "HEY SLIM SHADY, PLEASE STAND UP"
PAUL MICHAELS ON THE HOUSE MIKE TO KID GRUNGE, AFTER KNOCKING GRUNGE TO THE MAT WHEN GRUNGE SNEAK ATTACKED MICHAELS.

BIGGEST ANGLE LET-DOWN: THE INTRODUCTION OF PAUL MICHAELS HALF-SISTER "MORGANA." THE ANGLES THIS COULD HAVE LEAD TO WERE NUMEROUS AND INTERESTING. BUT HER AGE KEEP THIS FROM HAPPENING, AS SOME THOUGHT SHE MAY HAVE BEEN TOO YOUNG TO GET IN THE RING.
(JUST IN CASE THERE IS ANY MISUNDERSTANDING, I'M NOT SAYING IT WAS "MORGANA"'S FAULT. ONE SHOW SHE WAS ATTACKED BY SPIKE AND DUSTIN AND G MONEY. ACTUALLY I WAS ATTACKED TOO, BUT ANYWAY, SHE WAS ATTACKED BY THOSE GUYS AND THEN NEXT WEEK NOTHING WAS SAID OR DONE ABOUT IT. THE BEATING OF "MORGANA" SHOULD HAVE LEAD TO SEVERE PAY-BACKS BY THE MICHAELS FAMILY ON SPIKE AND THE GANG. SO IT'S NOT MEANT AS ANYTHING BAD AGAINST THAT YOUNG LADY.)

MOST MISSED: COOLER
RUNNER UP: BRET "MADDOG" DAWSON

FAN FAVORITE AWARD: RIOT

THE "WE SAW IT COMING" AWARD: MSWF HAS LAST SHOW AT D & S

STORYLINE OF THE YEAR: THE DCW INVASION (NOT ONLY DID IT HAVE THE FANS EXCITED, IT HELPED BRING TOGETHER THE OWNERS OF BOTH ORGANIZATIONS. BUT ONCE THE WWF/WCW THING STARTED IT HAD TO BE DROPPED. THE NIGHT DCW INVADED IS ALSO THE BIGGEST AND MOST IMPORTANT SHOW OF THE YEAR)

MY TOP FIVE PERSONAL FAVORITE MOMENTS IN DCW
--------------------------------------------
1. Being Special Ref for Dante Cruz VS. Antonio Cruz in their classic "Loser Leave DCW" match (Summer 1999).
Personal notes: For the few months leading into this match these two had been feuding and this match was to be the deciding match. The final match for one of these men in DCW. As Commissioner for DCW, I had several run-in's with Dante. He just didn't "respect my authority." I gave James Marcum the match off. After both men where in the ring, I said on the mike "And now your special guest referee" and the fans popped(to my surprise). Lenny Kravitz's "Mama Said" blurred over the speakers as Big Bully and myself came to the ring with fans cheering (again, to my surprise). The match started and with the rules being lax, because I wanted to see a winner, they used tables and ladders on each other. Eazy E was seated at ringside with Bully and "Maddog" Bret Dawson watching over him, making sure he didn't interfere. Finally 15 mins into the match, Antonio gets nailed with a move and is out. Dante, feeling like he had the match in hand, turns his attention to me. He backs me into the corner as I'm telling him that he can't touch the ref. He reaches up and takes off my glasses and to the shock of everyone (in the audience and in the back) he throws them against the wall and they break into a thousand pieces. He then proceeds to body slam me and drop an elbow. That's the last thing I remember, but after seeing the tape, I was pulled out of the ring by Bully. Eazy E breaks away from Maddog and the next thing I know, James Marcum has came in and counted the 3 Count on Antonio. Dante wins the world title and Antonio must leave.

2. PA VS James Marcum (Nov 1999)
Personal Notes: Like my feud with Dante, the bad blood between James and myself kept increasing until we both had had enough and challenged each other to a match. At this point Team Obscene was just beginning to grow. I had asked the boys to stay in the back even though I knew that the special ref, Big Bully Carmichael, couldn't be trusted. Alix Draven was the ring announcer that night. The ending came when, after becoming cocky and self-assured I walked over to Bully and shoved him, because of his one-sided refing. I turned to the fans, got down on one knee and flexed. Bully puts his hand on my shoulder, pulls me up, spins me around, and delivers the stiffest body slam I've ever had. Marcum then drops an elbow and Bully gladly counts the three. The boys then come in and save me from more thrashing. After thought: Marcum later challenged William Fredricks (The Fraternity Manager) to a match in which Fredricks defeated him.

3. Team Obscene Forms (Nov 1999)
Personal Notes: James Marcum and Bully start the show by having an argument who was supposed to be the new commissioner after I had quit. They are on the mike when somebody, wearing a pull-over jacket with the hood over his face, appears and hits James from behind. As I laid the boots to the ref, I could hear people in the audience asking who it was. Grunge and Spike were standing behind me. I pulled the hood down and it took the fans by surprise when they saw it was me. I took the mike and introduced Grung and Spike and myself as "Team Obscene." That night will surely live in infamy.

4. Making Fun Of The Generation Of Devestation.
(Dec 1999)
Personal Notes: When I arrived at the arena that night, Paul Michaels said "We're gonna dress up like the Generation tonight. It's gonna be awesome, son." With Grunge dressed like Lee Luger, Spike, with a bald cap, dressed like Dravin, Dustin as Brody Hansen, Paul as "Big Poppa Rump", and PA as Eazy E, we brought down the house by imitating the Generation. The funniest things were "Poppa Rump" getting stuck under the bottom rope with his big butt and after I spotted fellow Rock 105 DJ Ollie Hall in the audience, proceeded to start yelling "Ollie Hall...Ollie Hall" like a deranged Earl Owens. Of course they came out and attacked us afterwards but it was worth it!!!!

5. The Night "The Screamer" Was Unveiled As Antonio Cruz (Halloween 1999).
Personal Notes: "The Screamer" had been tormenting Dante Cruz the past several weeks. The week before he had got in at ringside and tried to make me confess to being "The Screamer" and I said that he was being paranoid and it wasn't me. The fans thought I was lieing, but then the lights went out and "The Screamer" came and attacked us both. No, I never dressed up like the dude from Scream. The next week, "The Screamer" attacks the Generation in the ring after the lights had done out. When the lights came back on Antonio unmasked and proceeded to attack Maddog, Rebel, and Grunge. I came to help the guys to the back, when I noticed a gleam in Antonio's eyes. Dante slids into the ring and I am then beaten down by the Cruz cousins. How can being beat down be one of my favorite moments?? The guys in the back understand.
