Brotherly Love/Hate

Everyone has been asking me the same question. Every fan the same question. Even every wrestler the same question. Where is Sam Dollar? What happened between you and Sam? Well for everybody all at once fans, workers, and just everyone who ever wondered. Myself and Sam are brothers. No we don’t just say that we are brothers as part of a wrestling gimmick. I mean actual Brothers Blood Brothers. So it’s like one of those great but true sayings. If I have to explain you just wouldn't understand.

So for anyone out there with a brother or even a sister because I am sure sisters are the same way to that you have been around your whole life and in my case Sam was 18 years old when I was borned so he's been around me longer than I have been around him. He was there when I was borned so those of you out there that know exactly what I am talking about some maybe in a similar situation there is no explanation necessary.

But for those of you out there who do not have any idea what I am talking about against better judgment because like I said if I have to explain it you would not understand. Me being who I am hardheaded as hell and will not take no for an answer. I am going to try my dampest to explain it to you. Like I said against better judgment.

So here's one thing that maybe very few of you can relate to like this because most siblings are closer to each other in age so in most cases some would say it's just brothers being brothers or kids being kids but when you have a brother that is 18 years old when you are borne see a brother like this not only thinks he's your brother he also thinks he's your father. And when you have a relationship like that it opens up the relationship to a whole lot of turbulence.

For one yeah your brothers you argue, you fight, you get involved in stupid shit together and yes you have some of the best times in your life together there is nothing like having a brother and I know a lot of you out there with brothers you know no matter how much you love him at times you want to slap the shit out of that son of a bitch upside his ignorant head with a hammer and he feels the same way to. Now imagine your brother being 18 years old when you are borne. Imagine being 10 years old and him being 28 years old. Imagine being 14 years old and your brother being 32 years old well that changes the dynamic of a brother’s relationship because on one hand he's your brother so you’re thinking fuck you. You can't tell me what to do your just my brother not my father. But when your 14 years old and your brother is 32 years old it's a different situation because even though he is just your brother when he's that much older than you and your under 18 years old when your with him you do have to do what he say's because your under his supervision and his responsibility but who gives a shit about that. I just told you that to sit the mood of the satiation.

So hers the deal myself and Sam are brothers above and beyond anything and everything else and what that means is that even though we can't agree on jack shit and we butt heads constantly the fact of the matter is no matter what’s going on between myself and my brother don't think for one minute that just because at times we want to kill each other that at the same time that we would not die for each other.

So now that we got all of that sappy shit out of the way lets talk about what everyone really wants to know. What's going on with myself, Sam, and Arkansas Championship Wrestling. Well to be honest there is nothing going on with myself, Sam, and Arkansas Championship Wrestling. Sam is working in Osceola on Friday nights and taking care of his other businesses. Sam was apart of the first Arkansas Championship Wrestling show. We split everything right down the middle but the fact of the matter is we just did not agree on the way that many parts of the company should be handled. Sam looks at wrestling one way and I look at it from a different way.

So when we seen that it was not going to work out with us being partners in Arkansas Championship Wrestling. Sam said that he really did not have the time needed to try to a wrestling company succeed. I decided to take an opportunity presented to me by a retired business man named Jerry Story. He was willing to contribute full financial backing. I not only retain the name Arkansas Championship Wrestling if we decided to part ways but I also have total and final control over booking, talent, creative, and the direction in the manner in which Arkansas Championship Wrestling takes that does not mean that I am not receptive to ideas and suggestions by all means I am that does not mean I am going to just let the talent do whatever they want but a good idea is a good idea no matter who are where it comes from. What this really means is that if Arkansas Championship Wrestling succeeds there is no way I could take full responsibility for that because it is going to take a lot of time, effort, and cooperation between lots of people.

But if it fails you can bet your ass I will carry all the full brunt of that responsibility because it will definitely crash down on me. So the way I see it is it is make it are break it time so I am ready and willing to take that chance. Mr. Story is a lifelong wrestling fan who now lives in TN. but loves to watch wrestling on TV so one of his requirements is to make sure he gets a tape of the shows so that he can see where his money is going, that I try to keep the overhead as low as possible. But more than anything else his main requirement is to keep him entertained. He believes if we can keep him entertained by the shows and we take it slow and steady that there is no reason why a good Wrestling company can't make it in Arkansas.

Now as far as Sam Dollar goes he has an open invitation to return to Arkansas Championship Wrestling any time he wishes. Will he who knows only time will tell either way Arkansas Championship Wrestling will continue to take things slow and steady to becoming the Premiere Wrestling company in North East Arkansas.     

That’s the truth,

the whole truth,

 and nothing but the truth,

As I see it…
