CCW DIES....

Yes...it is dead.  For the fans and friends of CCW, I thank you for your support. As the quote says, I do not have the passion anymore for CCW or wrestling.  I have closed the doors on CCW and have decided to call it quits as Coach BT.  I will not be involved in the near future with any promotion and feel that I need time away from the business.  Maybe time forever off from the business.  I am considering this my retirement.  I thank all the fans; promoters; friends and wrestlers that helped make CCW and this ride in wrestling fun.  Thank you all!!!

For those that are hoping I am going to get on here and talk shit about Steve Anthony and the final days of CCW, then you are not going to get it.  This was a mutual agreement between Steve and myself.  I was really getting tired of promoting and almost totally "burned out" on wrestling.  Steve and I were not the best of friends or did this make use the worst of enemies.  We just could not work together with him being Tennessee and me in Missouri.  I also was losing every bit of passion I had for wrestling and he was gaining more.  Our partnership ended on a good note, which may surprise a lot of people.  I wish my best to Steve.

As for "Due to major discrepancies in CCW books" statement I made in the last post, I want to expand on that.  Since many of you might read this as to saying that Steve was stealing or something.  Here was the deal---Steve had a problem keeping up with receipts and I never received but about 3 receipts in the last 5 months.  That drove me crazy!!  I could not continue doing business like that and Steve knew that I was at the end my road when it came to promoting CCW.  He sent me an e-mail to state that we needed to end the partnership as of May 17 and I sent back a letter saying, no..it is over now.  Then we started working out negotiations on the ring and such.  All and all it has been a civil breakup compared to what others wanted or what others have said.  Steve and I continue to do business day to day with the former CCW wrestling ring and other things.

The #1 burning question I have received since telling everyone that CCW is dead has been WHO WON THE SUPER 8??  And, man does this break major kayfabe or what??  So...here are the results of the Super 8.

CCW SUPER 8 2003 undisclosed location with 5,000 fans

 By the voting of the Super 8, the Top 10 wrestlers of CCW 2003.

1.    Brett Michaels

2.    Tony Dabbs

3.    Tommy Redneck

5.    Chris Michaels

6.    Brody Hawk

7.    Izzy Rotten

8.    Cody Hawk

9.    Damion Rage

10.                       Kilo

I thought it was ironic that Kilo worked only one show, but got two #1 votes.  Christian Jacobs received only 4 votes, but that was due to mainly the wrestlers knowing it was not going to attend the Super 8.

And for those that might think you will never hear from Coach BT again...LOL  Well, Coach BT might be dead, but Brian Tramel will be here.  I do plan to do a few articles like "History or CCW.."; "My fave bouts of CCW.. ;" and have even thought about writing an online book about my wrestling career as a photographer; kayfabe sheet writer; manager; promoter and fan. 

Also hit the FOR SALE link above.  I have a few items that I am needing to sale.  E-mail me if you are interested.  ccw@semo.net

Oh yea...before I close....since it will be awhile before I update this page....I would like my friends Kelly Warner; Charlie & Donna; Mike Anthony;  and Killer to know how I truly feel about them----FUCK YOU---YOU ARE ALL PIECES OF SHIT---I HOPE YOUR PROMOTIONS DIE MISERABLE DEATHS JUST LIKE MINE DID!!!!  

Bitter..nah..that made me feel better.
