Ah, after a nice and well needed sabbatical, I returned to Fort Valley to wrestle for AWN. Yes, the fed that has been running for the last nine years or so. Turns out that I team with Steven Stiles to take on tag team champions Sin City Mafia. Not a bad match, but they put a hurting on my partner. Eventually, they got the victory after pinning him with a sit-down 3D. Match over, done deal. I like those Sin City guys. I hate we lost, but they are a good team.
The knock on AWN is that it is always barely surviving. Honestly, no truer words have ever been spoken. In that fed, there is Mike Kross. Then there is everyone else. I can remember a time when AWN was fun to go to. They had guys like Ricky Silver, Shawn Hunter, J Smoove, Brokishi, Dirty Don, Phenom, Spazz, and a whole host of other guys. The open door policy of AWN made it always fun to be there and even more fun to watch. The variety of wrestling styles and attendance made it a good place to get in ring time. Now, its just sad. Chop fests and rabid fans have been replaced with backyard spot monkeys and bad booking. Regardless of what people may have said about that place, it was always fun to work. Not anymore. The AWN is just like the human anatomy: attack the head and the body will fall.
So where will I be wrestling next? Not sure at the moment but who knows? When I find out, I will surely let you in on it. Peace...

Here I am
Yes, indeed, people. I have returned to the world wide web, the super information highway, and all that jive. Seriously, it's good to be back on the net.
So what have I been up to? Well, I have been working at Rampage Pro Wrestling quite a bit. I've wrestled Rob Adonis in singles matches and worked Chip Day and Adrian Hawkins in a tripel threat match last night in McDonough. I have also traveled up to Ringold, GA and worked for AWF - World of Wild Wrestling. Not a bad place to work either. Plus, I have wrestled for Dropkick Pro Wrestling.
What's the funniest thing that has happened to me lately? Well, GCW puts a show on here in Milledgeville. I didn't know anything about it until I was getting asked by at least two people every other day for a month before the show if I was on it. Obviously, I wasn't on the show. Turns out the show didn't do so well. I still wish them luck if they come back here though.
Right now, I am open for bookings. It would take some real catastrophic occurence to make me turn one down or have to refuse it. As always, all I wanna do is get better. I can only do that by hitting different places.
Shout out to all my peoples: Clyde, Steven, Tim, Eli, and Nemesis. Oh yeah, be on the look out for the realest shoot interview you will ever see: VELVET vs. NEMESIS!!! Watch me and the big homie chop it up something serious. Later....

Gues who's back?!
Yep, it's me again. Back with another tale from this crazy world of professional wrestling. I headed back to Rampage Pro yesterday to train again. I have always heard that the things you don't have are a reflection of the things you don't know. Simple stuff I haven't been taught is shown to me everytime I go there. Trying to work on my chain wrestling and a bunch of other stuff.
Anyway, I tagged with DeMarco Knight yesterday (I think he used to call himself Flatline or something) against A.J. Steele and Murder-1. The new resident bad asses of RPW didn't hold back. I got in a couple of shots and tagged out. DeMarco was pinned not to long afterward. And what was my reward. A.J. slammed me on the floor!! Oh, I will remember that one. Keep your eyes open, "Black Superman". There is a receipt coming your way straight from Brick City!!!!
Laterz.

Reprogrammed
Anybody that knows anything about this great sport of pro wrestling knows that no matter what you know, you will never know it all. That's why some excel in this sport and others just stay stagnant. And wrestling is one of those "do-it-youreself" sports. If you wanna get better, then YOU should find the means to that end. No matter how long I have been wrestling and whatever I have been taught, I still want to be the best Velvet Jones that I can be.
That is why I am so happy Rampage Pro Wrestling opened up Rampage University. I was invited to come down there and train. I have been trying to make the most of it. There were a lot questions I had but no one could answer them for me. Not only am I learning new stuff or tweaking things in my arsenal, but I am also learning why I should do them. A lot of people can say the word psychology and a few people can actually spell it. Not everyone knows how to apply it. I am learning so much there and I can't wait to learn more.
If you think you have seen the best of Velvet Jones, you are fooling yourself. I have only been scratching the surface for the last four years and I still have been consistently ranked among the top wrestlers in the state. Just you wait. The best is yet to come.....

Full circle
Wow. What a wrestling weekend I had. Statred off early Saturday afternoon with an outside show against Jake Slater. We had a decent, solid match. In the end, Jake Slater (with Mike Money in his corner) defeated me with a roll-up and his feet on the ropes for leverage. That daen greaseball!!! I can't say damn because we wrestled in front of a church. LOL
Later on that day, I wrestled Scott Cage in a defense of the GIWA championship. The match was going well and in my favor until Cage tried to hit me with a chain. Part-owner KSL ran out and tried to stop him. When I went to see about Cage, KSL turned on me and hit me in the back with a tennis racket. Cage rooled me up for the pin untilo the match was restarted by Mad Mac Davis. In the end, Mike Stratus interfered in the now no-DQ match, levelled me with an ironing board, and knocked me out cold. Cage made the cover and won the title. Cage, KSL, Stratus - you days are all coming.
Sunday morning saw me go to Rampage University for some training. There are a lot of simple things about wrstling that I didn't know. Why? Simple: I was never taught those things. Here's some advice for wrestlers - if you wanna get better, take the opportunity to do so when it comes up. Just as I had the option of saying "I wrestled twice a day earlier" as a reason not to go to Rampage, I didn't. I woke up at 8 Sunday morning, jumped in my ride at 9, and wound up there a little after ten in the morning. Wanting to be better at anything is about more than talking the talk. Still, I stayed and I worked Cru Jones (he's a meanie like Stratus). Good solid match, but I lost it too. 0-3 this weekend. That sucks. I'm ranting. That's sucks too. I'm out. Peace and hair grease...

Heard about the Rampage show this past Friday at Mcon City Auditorium. Wish I had the chace to be a part of it. However, the occupation that pays the bills came first. Don't really know all of the results but I did hear that Dr. Johnny Gayton still has his hair. "All-Star", can't wait to see ya buddy. Can you say chrome dome?
Well, I was scheduled to wrestle for the upstart UPW promotion out of Cochran this weekend. Only one problem: I heard nothing else from the fed or its promoter. So much for that idea. Even still, I did wrestle for AWN this weekend and took on "The Natural" (yep, another!) Steve Stiles. Not a bad match. However, fans did get to see a sneak peek at Velvet 2.0 last night. I dusted off a few moves and threw more suplexes than I can count.
Just for the record, lemme say this: WHEN IT IS UNIVERSALLY AGREED THAT YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO PHYSICAL ABILITY WHATSOEVER, YOU SHOULD GET THE HELL OUT OF THE SPORT.
Well, the first three months of the year are history. The year has not been great for me so far - personally and professionally. I have heard its not how you start but how you finish and what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. If that's the case, I challenge life and the rest of the year to bring it on! I'm ready for whatever it has to offer!

Rampage and WrestleMania Ramblings
Wassup, one. Wassup, all.
This past weekend, I teamed with Ron Stalker to take on the Cash Vault - Kyle Matthews and Frankie Valentine in a tag team match in Rampage Pro Wrestling. We wound up losing after I submitted due to a beatdown of my left arm. One word: OUCH!!!
Now, I know I have been mad critical of what wrestling organizations are doing wrong. I went to Rampage and finally got to see an organization doing everything right. A lot of people make the argument about money. If they had it, they could be doing what Rampage is. My say is they could probably afford what Rampage could afford. Do what they do? That's another argument to be made. I have wrestled there only three times. Still, you get the feeling they are trying to build something. So far, it is top notch. Wonder why Rampage gets the press it does? Look at the locker room. It is a WHO'S WHO in Georgia wrestling today. And while I didn't get the chance to meet her, I would like to meet the 6' 10" Isis. From what I hear, the videos do not do her justice. Just to be part of that makes me feel like I have made some serious strides in wrestling. And although I am from this area, I feel kinda bad for feds in the Middle Georgia area. The staff at RPW has set the bar so high, it's crazy. Onward and upward, Rampage. You have quickly become the state's wrestling barometer.
I did watch WrestleMania and I enjoyed it aplenty. The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels had a hell of a match. John Cena wins the World title and a fan cusses him out to his face. Priceless. But the surprise moment of the year was Ricky Steamboat turning back the clock and stealing the show like he did in '87. That had me on the edge of my seat.
One thing that did disappoint me was the Money In The Bank ladder match. These matches are starting to get like War Games matches in Georgia: redundant and pretty fucking predictable. I say they do away with it for a year. And Santina rules!!!
Glad to see my workouts are actually paying of. The biggest reasons are that I have boosted my cardio and eliminated red meat from my diet. Hopefully, I can take care of some scheduling conflicts and wrestle in other places this year. But that's the biggest dilemma. Everyone wants rankings and recognition. Those things are a by-product of exposure. So with all the feds in GA, which ones will provide the most? I'll be back. I gotta scratch my head on this one....
