Journal Updates from NM, TX, and Ark.

I have had a good time working against Hurricane and Crash. I was supposed to tag with Haku but it was changed and I am now with Lance Storm. Lance is very fun to work with and puts together a very good match. Tonight in El Paso was a great show. Last night was sold out in NM with 18 thousand in attendance at "The Pit" and today it was about 11 thousand. The crowds were pretty good both nights. Stephanie talked with me about my match and gave me a few pointers on working the crowd. I tried them today and they seemed to make a big difference. Kane offered to drive today so Rico and I tagged along with him. It's good to spend time with the guys who have been around for a while. Kane is a good guy and real easy going. We were talking in the locker room with some of the old timers in the business and talking about how the business has changed over the years, used to be that all the boys partied in every town, and lived a pretty wild lifestyle if you know what I mean, now all the boys are into fitness, eating healthy, and training 24-7. One said it has gone from lap dances to laptops. I had to laugh at that one sense I always have my laptop with me. We took a charter plane from Albuquerque to El Paso, wow that was sweet. I have never flown on a charter before so it was wild to see how nice it was. All the seats were first class and reclined, lots of room and a table out in the middle full of food for us. I could get used to that!

Raw in Jonesboro was a fun night with all the HHH - Stephanie happenings. I think everyone saw that coming. I had one of the best tag matches I have ever had. Brock and I once again face Orton and Costantino, and had a solid match. The crowd was as much in to our match I felt as it was for many of the main card matches. They were with us the whole match and really disliked Brock and I. I'm working on my facial expressions more and really trying to show more emotion. I thought last night was very good. Shelton and Leviathan from OVW were flown in to do darks tonight and worked each other; it was good to see them again. They also had a good match and looked impressive. They will be doing darks tonight along with Victoria, so there will be a lot of people to work into tonight's dark matches???

Wow what a great week of matches!!! I worked with Brock and Perry Saturn and faced Rico, Crash Holly, and Shelton Benjamin. It seemed as if it was going to be a little crazy but things worked out great. I haven't done many 6-man tags before but it was actually real easy and turned out to be a great match. Perry put most of it together and did a very good job with it. I got the roll up victory over Shelton as he came off the top rope with a big cross body. The crowd I felt was really into our match, it was one of the smaller venues we have been in but very into the show… I hope next week goes as well!

God Bless you...
