Time/date: 8 p.m. Wednesday August 13, 2003
City, State: Minneapolis, MN
Venue: First Ave night club

For this Flash Back Friday we jump back to a time when First Ave events were on Wednesday nights and mostly free. I'm not sure who won or lost in these matches I didn't take notes or make sure that I photographed the ref raising the winners hand.

El Viejo VS John Johnson. James "Moose" Thomas was the jeans wearing ref for this match. Not sure if Thomas had started wrestling before this or if he was still training. When he started wrestling it was under the name Tommy Gunn.

 "The Genuine Article" Chris Jordan defeated Christian Moore. This was Moore's first pro match after training with Terry Fox and Eddie Sharkey. Others that trained that summer with Moore were DOS, Josie, Rob Page and Big Mac. Moore wrote about this match in chapter 9 of his autobiography "Being Moore: my life in professional wrestling". This same photo can be seen in that book. The most interesting thing about this photo is Jordan's gear.

 Mitch Paradise VS Dan Jesser.

 DCW womans champion Josie defeated Rain. Terry Fox was the referee.

 "Playboy" Pete Huge VS Kaos,AKA Cody O'Neill. Looks like Huge was wearing shorts but still not showing any part of his legs.

MIW Spring Lake Park, MN 9/10/2011

After shooting ring side at an afternoon show I went home and ate dinner then headed north for an Minnesota Independent Wrestling event. MIW was at Biffs Sports Bar. A few years ago when they promoted at this same place the matches took place out side in a tent but this year they were inside. Four of the wrestler that were on the afternoon show were also on this show.
The show started out with MIW owner Terry Fox coming to the ring to tell the fans of the passing of Little Tokyo on September 6th at the age of 70. Fox then brought out Bad Boy Brian to say a few words about Little Tokyo. Then there was a 10 bell salute.
Little Tokyo (seen here from 1993 at a show in Columbia Heights, MN) was part of a match at Wrestlemania III.
Mitch Paradise did a Paradise Pit with Rob Ivy and James Jeffries. Paradise picked on Jeffries small size.
Mystik Sexton defeated Ann Brookstone with Paul Brewski by DQ. The DQ came when Brewski tripped Sexton.
Arya Daivari pinned El Bano after a magic carpet ride.
Ugly & Justin Decent defeated Rob Ivy & Mitch Paradise when Decent pinned Paradise. Ugly has been to MIW a few times before but this time he brought his tag team partner with him.
Horace the Psychopath defeated Chris Jordan.
MIW champion “Playboy” Pete Huge defeated James Jeffries to retain the title. Jeffries kick out after one G-Spot from Huge but couldn’t kick out after the second one.
Mystik Sexton & Bad Boy Brian defeated Ann Brookstone & “All Star” Paul Brewski. This match was made by Terry Fox after the ladies match earlier in the card.

1) Who trained you and what’s the most important thing you learned in their camp? Eddie Sharkey and Terry Fox. I learned respect for your peers and the business. And arm drags. (Huge Vs Brody Hoofer with Terry Fox as referee)

2)Where is a good place to get a burger around here? Matt's Bar in South Minneapolis. 35th and Cedar. Home of the Jucy Lucy! Don't fall for that 5/8 Club shit! They suck! (Junk Squad Vs the O'Neills at NPW 1/28/2006)

3)Do you have any weird superstitions/rituals that you do before matches?I'm very superstitious. I can't tell you about about most of them, because that's bad luck. However, my lucky draws, that's a different story. I have worn them for EVERY pro wrestling match I've ever had...except one. And what happened? I got seriously hurt my arm on a frog splash (funny, I know). I was out for like four months. Everybody in the locker room loves them. That's 10 years worth of matches... (Huge with lucky Calvin Kleins and Rob Page 2007)

4)Who would win in a wrestling match Obama or McCain? How about a 3 way dance of Obama, McCain and yourself? I would kick the crap outta both of them and then take their wives and do what would only come naturally. Politicians are dumb. (Huge Vs Shawn Daivari at MIW 10/12/2003)
5)Is there really a G Spot? Yes, there is a g-spot. I have found it. Numerous, numerous times...(Huge Vs Kaos at CCWA 8/13/2003)

7)What made you want to be a wrestler? Ric Flair. He was cool. He had money and girls. He would take an ass whiping and still somehow win. He was always cocky and entertaining. As a little kid, that's what I wanted to be when I grew up. That and I thought it would be a good way to meet chicks. (Huge Vs Lacey at Lucha show 4/11/2004)
8)Uh... so... do you like... stuff? Stuff and things. (Huge Vs Black Stallion at PWA 5/22/2004)
