March 17th 2008 - For all the fans who have e mailed us with questions, I hope this will answer most.

Firstly, we are humbled by all the feedback we have gotten on season one. We were trying to put a product together that would please the wrestling fans and also those who normally don't watch wrestling. We are currently airing in six countries on The Fight Network and are still distributing.

As for the second season, we are getting organised to shoot in the near future in the UK. Our focus for next season will be much more on the documentary and less on the wrestling matches. All matches will be taped however and shown in a separate format to be determined.

We also are planning to produce live wrestling events in Atlantic Canada and elsewhere after we shoot season two. Please stay tuned to www.wrestlingreality.com and www.newscott.com for details. Interested wrestlers or valets, please send a full resume and video link of a full match to kingmansmith@hotmail.com

Regards,
Peter Smith
Executive producer, Wrestling Reality

December 12th 2007 : Here is what Krysta Lynn Scott has been up too since the Wrestling Tour :

"Since the tour has finished I have unfortunately only been able to wrestle in a few matches around the Maritimes. I worked the ECPW show in Cape Breton as well as a couple matches for Steen. Though these shows were excellent, it is not near enough wrestling to keep me happy here. Since WR tour, the main realization I have come to is that I need more experience and better opposition. And so, a couple months ago I started renovating my condo (in Halifax) so that I can sell it and head out west (Calgary) to get some more experience before season two.
I would love to take this opportunity to thank WR for letting me be a part of such an amazing show; I’m looking forward to season two. I would also love to thank the fans, especially in the Maritimes; you can all be sure I will be back and better then ever."

December 10th 2007 : Don't forget to check out Wrestling Reality on The Fight Network tomorrow night 8pm EST!

Here is what Brody Steele, Scott Savage the Wrestling Reality referee Disco Dave have been up to since the Wrestling Reality tour:

Brody Steele : "A few days after the May 2006 WR tour, I left for a couple of matches in South Korea with Mike Hughes. My partner, Leatherface and I won the WWA World tag belts from Tajiri and Giant Vapo.

After being home a few weeks I left for England to do a five week tour. I had arranged with the English promoter, Brian Dixon to bring Trash Canyon along for the experience and he did great over there. Mike Hughes also showed up there towards the end of my stay. A few days before I left, I got the call of my life. My wife and I were about to adopt a baby girl. I arrived home on a monday night at midnight and we picked Keely up the next morning at 9 am.

Although I was planning to stay home a while and get used to fatherhood, I got an urgent call to go back to England in August. I went back for four weeks and became British Heavyweight champ on Sept. 2nd with a win in Liverpool over James Mason.

My next trip was in late September and was a five week tour of Denmark, Ireland and again England. My body was pretty broken down at this point and I decided to take a full month off from the ring and spend as much time in the gym as possible.

On November 29th I flew to Breman, Germany to the Catch Cup event. I had a World Championship match there with Eddy Steinblach. After nine rounds of five minutes each, he retained his title by pinfall."

Scott Savage : "Hey everyone; all of you Realityites! That's my name for all the great fans of Wrestling Reality. How are you? First of all, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year too all! This is my favourite time of year, nothing like getting loot and lots of food... free food! Hope you are all enjoying Season One of the show as much as I am. Let me tell you about another trip I took recently too one of the coolest places in Canada, Newfoundland. I was on a tour that spent 2 weeks there. So many stories, some good and some not so good. But more importantly lots and lots of matches. I experienced my 1st ever Money in the Bank ladder match! Every single night, I won my qualifying match to advance to the Ladder match. On one great night I grabbed the briefcase out of the rafters, which meant I got a shot at the Champ! I cashed it in right away against, of all people, Kardinal Sinner, Kowboy Mike Hughes. I lost. But I was able to drown my sorrows with the help of the oh-so-kind NFLD Fast Food employees who routinely gave a hungry Savage FREE food! NLFD Realityites? I think so... Thanks! Of course I wrote another chapter in the Scott Savage Ring Truck Chronicles, which means, basically, something bad happened to the ring truck when I was near it. I'm still convinced the reason the Wrestling Reality ring truck broke down after Sussex was because that was the night I put my Ring gear suitcase in the back of it. Let's face it truck had been working fine until a piece of Savage's luggage decided to hop a ride, suddenly it breaks down! Coincidence? I think not! I’m really looking forward to the New Year to see what type of adventure it will bring. It was great talking to you guys keep watching The Fight Network! I know I'll be!"

Disco Dave : "Since the tour this spring, I've had a lot of ups and downs. The most recent one is that I have been undergoing treatments on my lower back to repair a pinched nerve and damage that has been done to discs in my lower spinal cord. Aside from that I've been doing very light training and focusing more on working and beginning to build my life for the future years. I'im only 21 but I've already aquired my own car, half a house, life insurance and all that good stuff people tell you you have to get when you're young because thats what growing up is. I'm also working on the possibility of opening up my own clothing store."



December 7th 2007 : Here is what Mike Hughes, Gary Williams, Tony Armstrong and Zero have been up to since the Wrestling Reality Tour :

Mike Hughes : "A few days after the WR tour ended Peter and I left for Korea where I wrestled for the Korean Heavyweight Championship but things didn't go in my favor. From there I spent 6 weeks working in England for All-Star wrestling with some of the best guys in business in and out of the ring.
Upon my return to good old P.E.I , I started a venipuncture and cardiogram clinic with Entrepreneur Paul Jenkins. This is keeping me extremely busy as we are always looking to expand our healthcare services to the public.
After the foundation of this venture was secure I left on a 20 day tour of Newfoundland with another Maritime promotion. I then wrestled the ECPW show in Cape Breton on September 25th before returning to PEI to re assume my work at the clinic.
I am now focusing on the expansion of the clinic and have rededicated myself to being in the best shape possible."

Gary Williams : "The main focuses for me since the Wrestling Reality tour has been first off to get into the bast shape of my life for season 2. I've been training hard in the gym working out at least 6 days a week. I've drastically change my style of training to cutting up and trimming down to accomplish that "hard body" look. I've been doing a lot of cardio and really putting a lot of attention on my abs. Dieting has been the major factor in my regiment. I've been dieting for the last 2 months now and the results are definitely starting to show. In the past I always trained for size (bulking up) so it's been a different experience for me but I am loving it.

I've also been spending a lot of my time at Wildman Academy. I've had the school for over 2 years now and I really feel that with Wrestling Reality all ready being the success that it has generated a bit of a "buzz" so to speak with young hopefuls that have a dream of being a professional wrestler one day. The ring has completely been rebuilt with a new platform, padding, turnbuckles and many other things to make the ring simply look and work better. Between maintaining the school and teaching classes it's been keeping my really busy.

I've been spending a lot of time on the recording and production of our new Dead Reach CD. For those of you that don't know, I sing for the band and we did most of the music, soundtrack and entrance themes for the Wrestling Reality series. The intro for Wrestling Reality is a Dead Reach song called "Fallen." We are releasing a 10 song CD and we are aiming to have it out by late spring 2008. The band is available for bookings for some live shows but are mainly focusing on the release of their new CD.

As a profession aside from Wrestling I've been making a living managing a private security firm here in New Brunswick. It's been keeping me really busy as of late and keeps me active in the entertainment world. I do a lot of Close Protection (bodyguard) work for famous artists and bands like Guns & Roses, Pearl Jam, Motley Crue, Nickelback, just to name a few... The last one I did was the Canadian Idol tour with Brian Melo, Jadee Bixby and Carley Rae Jepsen.

I've only had 3 matches since the Wrestling Reality tour with some local promotions in the area. I've simply chosen to aim most of my attention to the production and promotional side of Wrestling Reality till the next tour begins. Truth be told, I haven't had much time to do many indy shows with everything else going on in my life.

So needless to say I've been keeping really busy with everything and looking forward to the production of Wrestling Reality Season 2. Till then It's business as usual."

Tony Armstrong : "Since the shows in the spring for WR, I've been focusing mostly on completing my Human Resources/Industrial Relations Management degree at Saint Mary's University. For the most part, it's been encompassing my life, like hundreds of thousands of students across the country. Although serious about perusing my degree in previous years, I've approached the past 8 months with a renewed sense of focus in my studies. Not much work on the wrestling front, I suffered a shoulder injury during the late spring, and was unable to so much as lift a can for about 2 months. For the most part, I've been reevaluating my future in all aspects, and am still trying to determine what path I'll lead myself down."

Zero : "Well since I moved back to Bathurst its been the same old work, go to the gym and work wrestling shows that are available around here."

December 5th 2007 : Here is what Siderwinder, Trash Canyon & Lincoln Steen have been up to since the Wrestling Reality tour ended in May 2007.

Sidewinder : "I've been keeping pretty busy lately. I started doing some modelling work on the side during the summer and it's actually starting to pick up and become profitable. It's sweet because its something that just kind of fell on my lap. Aside from that, I'm still wrestling here and there. I'm building up a list of odd jobs I've been doing. The latest of which being a salesman haha. I've been trying to see a lot of friends I haven't seen in a while. I had my 19th birthday last weekend so I've been holding my drinking reputation pretty steadily. Other than all that, I'm still hitting the gym like crazy, working on the cardio, learning to appreciate things like art and music more, and have just been living life by the heartbeat."

Trash Canyon : "Although I haven't wrestled locally since the tour I spent the summer across the pond in England. I spent 4 weeks working for the busiest full time promotion in Europe, "All Star Wrestling". I had the privilege of working with some of the greatest guys I have ever met in the business. It was an amazing experience and I gained a wealth of knowledge from some of the veterans in the UK."

Lincoln Steen : "Since May, I have kept myself busy with the odd wrestling booking, but mostly I have been focusing on my day job, writing commercials for a radio station in Northeastern Nova Scotia. The station which is getting ready to make a major transformation which I have had a hand in designing. I also baby sit drunks at the bar on Saturday night… I figures it’s better to get paid to be at the bar than be paying to be at the bar… plus, who doesn’t love good maritime music live? In July, I promoted a wrestling show featuring Krysta Lynn Scott and Scott Savage in New Glasgow at Fibber’s Pub and Eatery, which was the talk of the town for weeks afterwards. In September, I also wrestled for promoter Sheldon MacLean’s East Coast Pro Wrestling card in North Sydney in a show featuring Tito Santana, Robert Roode and Kowboy Mike Hughes. In November, I hosted the Wrestling Reality Premiere Party at Fibber’s Pub and Eatery, which was attended by some of the cast and a special appearance was made by JD Fortune (lead singer of INXS). I am looking forward to some much deserved relaxation at Christmas."
