words from Karl…
“What I like about photographs is that they capture a moment that’s gone forever, impossible to reproduce. There’s an almost melancholic, ephemeral, fixed aspect to it. It’s what makes photography so captivating.”
-Karl Lagerfeld

post NWA-C, 3/14…
Check www.NWAphotos.com for photos from NWA Charlotte’s “Know thy Enemy” show this past weekend. My NWA work is subject to my work schedule during the year, part of the year I can’t do Anarchy which is the first and third weekends, and now Charlotte which is the second and fourth Saturdays.
I left work at 3pm on Saturday, took a power nap at the house and then hit Highway 74 to head to the Queen City. Also, I didn’t realize this until a couple of weeks ago, but I can make York,SC in good time off of 74 also.
Even with only two trips so far, NWA-C is becoming a favorite of mine…yes, the show has its share of bugs but I really think that something great is forming…Great to see a lot of familiar faces at the show, members of the Mid-Atlantic Mafia, “Indy” Ron and his son Hoss, etc etc.
I still have plans to put up a “UnderGround” gallery celebrating the fifth anniversary of myself, Adam and Ken…it’s still in the works…I’m taking a much needed break for the next couple of weeks…As it stands now, my next show will be 10 April in Charlotte,NC.

post “Rise of a Champion V”…
I actually wrote this on 1 March, I’m just now getting it up…
If you haven’t seen them yet, check out the pics from RSPDN show number 5 here: http://ringsidephotos.net/pws_22809.htm
This was the biggest crowd I have seen at the York Rec Center so far…the fans who braved the cold weather got to see three title changes and a TNA superstar.
Kudos to Jake Manning & Mike Lee in their “Loser Leaves PWS” match…Mike wrestled on one of the first “roadtrip” shows I ever went to – the first “Anderson Brothers Classic Tag Tournament” on 11 December 2004 in Shelby,NC. I had recently spent lots of time with Mike running the Highspots printers behind the scenes at the Ric Flair appearances. As we say here in the Pea Ridge – “a nicer feller you’ll never meet!” Good luck Mike in the “real world.” A little aside, after Mike and Jake’s match I did in-ring photos with Abyss…I took the disk to the promoter and asked where he’d like them, his answer – “give it to Mike and tell him to start printing!” Our work is never done, Mike.
Our friends the Macks regained the PWS tag straps from Caleb Konley and Brandon P after vacating them earlier in the night…so technically I guess it would three tag title changes in one night?
Thanks to our fan, Tyler for donating a couple of ROH tickets to us Saturday night!
