Renteria/Tigers, Grand Rapids/Wrestling, AWA and more
Monday the Tigers acquired Edgar Renteria in a trade. Just one problem with that. They foolishly traded their Pitch Jurrijans away to the Braves. Other then Verlander, Jurrijans is the only pitcher who showed me anything last year, and he only pitched four games. Bad move in the long run. Renteria is a good ball player and will provide the Tigers with some spark but it was a bad move. Anyways I hope the tigers make some more moves the involves getting pitchers.

AWA DISCONTINUES SANCTIONING
In a landmark announcement made today, AWA Chairman of the Board Dale R. Gagne announced that the AWA will no longer sanction independent territories effective immediately. Over three years ago, the AWA started an “open door policy” welcoming top independent wrestling organizations to represent it’s brand both nationally and internationally. Within a year, the AWA had gained momentum with over 25 affiliate promotions from Hawaii to Japan. During the recent AWA Annual Meeting in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Gagne and Vice-President Jon
Stewart addressed representatives from participating territories
regarding the impending future of the sanctioning program. “Quite honestly”, stated Gagne, “the sanctioning of independent territories never reached the success we had hoped for”. “We never intended on our brand being represented in bars, out-of-date military bases or American Legion halls”, continued Gagne. “There may very well be a market for independent wrestling in these types of facilities but it certainly
isn’t a part of the AWA’s future”.
Vice-President Jon Stewart further stated that the AWA will continue to look for effective and professional promoters to represent it’s brand but there will be obvious differences in what local organizations present and what the AWA will produce. Where does this leave the territories currently representing the AWA brand? According to Gagne and Stewart, each promotion will be individually assessed. Those territories sharing a vision different than the AWA’s new model, will be released by the end of the year. The Board of Directors and figurehead President will be dissolved accordingly.

Alot of people are hating on Kobe at this point because of his desire to get out of L.A. I don’t blame him because the Lakers haven’t built a team around him. It’s all sub-par players on that team. Speaking hating, a lot of people are pissed off at A-Rod for the timing of his decision to opt out of his contract (right in the middle of the world series) That’s nothing to mad about. Frankly who cares. Everyone knew Boston was going to win. Hell the Rockies knew Boston would win. A-Rod good luck to where ever you end up.
I’ll be posting a lot more now that MLB Free Agency is upon us and basketball season has began again. Until next time, Peace and God Bless
