Column – The Needs of Many – Nikita Allanov
Posted: March 2, 2010
Professional wrestling attracts some of the biggest pieces of shit to it in the world. The business is full of liars and cheats. Unfortunately, everyone in the sport is then painted with the same brush. Everyone’s favorite Vulcan, Mr. Spock, said it best: “The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few”. However, in professional wrestling, the few ruin things for the many.
The following is one such example. In my last column, I spoke about how a colleague and myself had been working to establish a Fraternal Order of Professional Wrestlers. A “union” of sorts, but without being a labor union. Our feelings led us to research into such a foundation, because there is an abundance of scumbags in the professional wrestling business, and there is a shortage of standards.
One of the problems is the irregularities in different state athletic commissions as far as who can be a wrestling promoter, and who cannot.
On Saturday Night, February 27th, Charles Fiber, was arrested at the Wheeling Eagles Hall in Wheeling, WV. Fiber, under the name of “Jack Blaze” was promoting a wrestling event at this facility, and was taken into custody while doing an in-ring talk segment by the West Virginia State Police. The charges were related to providing false information to the authorities in regard to his status as a sex offender.
Yes, just so that there is no confusion, you did read that correctly. Fiber was a registered and convicted sex offender who was promoting wrestling shows.
From a January 10, 2010 column that appeared in the Wheeling Times-Leger promoting a wrestling event promoted by Fiber, he is quoted as saying “We hope mom and dad will bring the kids for a great evening of entertainment.” Fiber served approximately 18 months in a federal penitentiary for possessing child pornography and attempting to transfer obscene material to a minor.
The first question that one must ask is, how was a convicted child pornographer able to promote “family friendly” wrestling shows in the first place? Well, the answer is that in West Virginia, there is no athletic commission, or any other body that oversees or sanctions professional wrestling. All that you have to do in West Virginia in order to promote wrestling events is have access to a building and ring. While there are certainly pros and cons to athletic commissions in general, if there was some kind of agency requiring promoters to have a surety bond, Fiber would never have been in a position to promote shows, as his sex offender status would have prevented any reputable insurer from providing the bond.
For the purposes of full disclosure, I regularly wrestle in the Wheeling area. Although I have had encounters with Fiber before, I have never wrestled on any shows with him. In fact, I have wrestled in the Wheeling area almost exclusively for Black Diamond Wrestling, a promotion that promotes family friendly traditional wrestling events in conjunction with area schools, charities, and police organizations such as the FOP and DARE. In fact, the Wells Township Police Department has an excellent working relationship with the promotion.
Because of my familiarity and fondness for competing in the Wheeling area, this incident hurts me. Fiber and his cohorts are generally people that should not be in the business in the first place. Fiber and his longtime associate Alan Decker are two gentlemen who want to be involved with professional wrestling, both in the ring and from the business side, but have no clue what they are doing. There are a number of venues, sponsors, and other outlets that have been ruined for professional wrestling in that area because of the business practices of Fiber. Generally, these guys get enough money together to rent a ring and a venue, put on a show with largely untrained or sub par talent, and a “WWE Legend” headlining the card. In January Fiber’s company promoted a show featuring Gangrel, and Fiber was actually taken into custody while introducing Jim Neidhart on his card this past weekend.
It was no secret that Fiber was into child porn. On many area wrestling websites with gossip-based messageboards, it was brought up regularly. However, everyone appeared to look the other way – apparently it is OK to wrestle for someone aroused by pictures of naked children.
So, as Fiber was arrested on the 27th, there came media coverage of the incident. Television station WTRF in Wheeling ran a story on that evening’s news broadcast, and had details of the arrest on their website. The headline? “Sex Offender Arrested At Wheeling Wrestling Event”.
When reading the story, it is mentioned that Fiber was the alleged promoter of the event. Apparently no one can be sure exactly who the promoter was, because, you know, West Virginia doesn’t require promoters to be licensed or even registered. In addition, it was just mentioned that he was promoting a wrestling event, not the name of the organization. Do you think when a legitimate promoter, such as Black Diamond Wrestling’s Rikk Diamond, attempt to get sponsors or partners for their events, that the person watching the news that night is going to differentiate between Fiber’s smoke-and-mirrors product, which was possibly a front for coming into contact with children, and a legitimate wrestling company?
During my twelve years in the wrestling business, I have come across the fact that your average person does not differentiate between one independent wrestling promotion and another many, many times. I have been involved with shows and also heard about shows where the promoter cheated a sponsor out of money, or damaged a building, or didn’t pay someone for equipment. More often than not, if one wrestling promoter burns a venue, that venue closes its doors to all independent wrestling, not just one particular promoter. In fact, many venues in the greater Wheeling area have closed their doors to wrestling because of the actions of Fiber and Decker, who have promoted shows in various combination of the names Steel Valley Wrestling, Extreme Valley Wrestling, and Legends of Professional Wrestling. There have been bloody deathmatches in family rec centers. There has been a stabbing at a venue owned by West Virginia University. There have been bars and halls who have been shorted on money. Many of these places have closed their doors to wrestling altogether.
So, my question is this: How many of the people who saw this news report on Fiber, are going to no longer support wrestling? How many young athletes who are hungry for more matches and more ring time, are going to lose opportunities because of Fiber?
These types of people can no longer be allowed into our sport. We obviously cannot count on state agencies set-up to monitor wrestling to do that. We cannot count on local authorities. We must do this ourselves, as wrestling promoters, competitors, and fans. We can no longer support or even give credence to people that want to hurt our sport. We have to put the “professional” back into professional wrestling. Our sport is in shambles, and fixing it is more important that any one individual.
“The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few”.

Column – The Brotherhood – Nikita Allanov
Posted: March 2, 2010
Professional Wrestling is not what it used to be.
Back in the old days, there was a governing body over the sport – it was the National Wrestling Alliance. The NWA was a very important tool for promoters of independent wrestling. It provided a structure to the renationalized sport, but in a mafia-esque way. NWA members were promoters that had bought into the NWA’s ideals of a territory system, and acted as barons over a territory. Although a wrestler could be blacklisted for actions against the organization’s wishes (which was illegal), the NWA provided an order to the mad world of professional wrestling.
In general, under the watch of the NWA, wrestlers were allowed to move from territory to territory, making money and moving up and down the ladder or success. A handful of wrestlers were able to “barnstorm” – meaning they were able to book their own dates regardless of territory. Select top draws such as Andre the Giant could get away with this. Most wrestlers broke into the business in one territory, and then would go to other areas as their opportunities increased, and then moved on when another money-making opportunity popped up.
Please keep in mind however, that at the same time, there was no free agency in professional sports in the United States. Baseball and football players had contracts and reserve clauses, and were bound to teams, who dictated their pay. Wrestlers were unique, in that they were able to go where they money was. As long as you honored your dates and gave notice, you could leave a territory at anytime. Wrestlers were true independent contractors.
We all know the story of how in the 1980’s, Vince McMahon and Jim Crockett Jr. both attempted to take their promotions national, and the territories went out of business (The WWF putting the territories out of business is somewhat of a half-truth). By the mid-1990s, there were two major companies in the US/Canada – McMahon’s WWF, and the company that Crockett sold off, WCW. There became a boom of independent wrestling that only increased when the wrestling boom happened. WWE and WCW programming was the king of cable, ECW attempted to go national, and a number of strong independent companies thrived.
With all of this boom, came the eventual implosion. WCW went out of business – sold to Vince McMahon. ECW went bankrupt, and the assets were bought by McMahon. And, while a number of companies have popped up, no real competition has been fostered for the WWE machine. The WWE machine, which was able to grow and expand in large part due to McMahon setting up a barnstorming national promotion that paid very little attention to the rules and regulations of state athletic commissions. McMahon made his money off of “sports entertainment”, not athletic contests.
McMahon was the first promoter to admit that wrestling matches were exhibition in nature, and not contests. He did this to avoid regulations by athletic commissions. Prior to this, promoters and wrestlers pointed to the sanctioning state athletic commissions as a way to legitimize wrestling – could wrestling matches possibly be fixed, if the state governed it? In turn, athletic commission appointments were generally cushy posts for influential people within promoting circles.
But, when the territories dried up, a funny thing happened – the athletic commissions stopped having lucrative gates from wrestling events. Rather than having gates from wrestling events every night of the week in different towns drawing a few thousand fans, suddenly WWE, at most, came to town four times a year with a live event. Athletic commissions suddenly had no source of revenue.
As independent promotions popped up in the 1990s, so did the practice of athletic commissions shutting down unlicensed outlaw wrestling shows. As the wrestling boom caused an increase in professional wrestling, so came the increase in individuals wanting to be pro wrestlers. Which was followed by people wanting to be rich wrestling promoters. Many athletic commissions suddenly had to devote resources to shutting down these shows, or stop regulating professional wrestling. Many chose another path – keep licensing fees and gate taxes to remain relevant and to acquire money, but to do as little as possible.
History will show that the regulation of wrestling as it is now in most states, is full of bureaucratic red tape. Most athletic commissions do very little to regulate promoters. Most do even less to regulate wrestlers. Most do nothing but collect taxes.
While most major sports leagues and organizations experienced their athletes uniting into labor unions throughout the 1970s, 80s and 90s, professional wrestling did not. With the collapse of a territorial system, with only one major company existing in the United States, and the lack of a labor union for wrestlers, the sport has began to crumble right before our eyes. These days, you can buy a ring, gear and everything you need to have a wrestling show on the internet. For a few hundred bucks or less, even you could promote a wrestling event.
Over the past few months, another wrestler and I have had many meaningful conversations regarding what can be done about our sport. After much discussion, we actually started researching the subject, and asking questions. Did you know the Ohio Athletic Commission keeps track of what wrestling cards are taking place within the state via WrestleOhio.com? Did you know that the Pennsylvania Athletic Commission sanctioned over 300 wrestling cards in 2009, but doesn’t have any record of how many licensed promoters operate in their state? Did you know that neither state licenses wrestlers? Over the next few days, months, and years, I am going to begin writing more and more about what we have began to call the “Brotherhood of Professional Wrestlers” – an attempt at getting something organized to regulate our sport the correct way.
If I told you ten years ago that there would be only one major wrestling promotion in the United States, you would have thought I was crazy. If I told you that UFC would be doing bigger numbers on television and pay-per-view than wrestling, you would have thought me crazy. However, it is reality. What will happen to this sport, that I and so many others love so dear, if we continue to let it be destroyed by people that should be buying tickets for events actually participating in the sport, and ruining it? No state or national commission or body or law is going to save professional wrestling. Wrestlers and promoters and the fans are going to be the ones to step up and do what is best for what we love.
For the Betterment, Education, and Future of Professional Wrestling. To provide resources, support, and affect change within the industry of professional wrestling. To advocate change within regulating bodies for fair and equal representation for those who compete within professional wrestling.

Column – I Want to Remember Chris Benoit – Nikita Allanov
Posted: February 8, 2010
OJ Simpson is widely accepted as a murderer. While he was not found guilty in a court of law for killing his estranged wife and a waiter, he was found liable by a civil court. In fact, Simpson now sits in a Nevada jail for an unrelated crime, in which he attempted to steal sports memorabilia at gun point.
Simpson, to a whole generation of people, is simply a punchline to a variety of jokes about a guy killing a couple people. To many people my age, they remember Simpson as the actor and sports commentator who killed a couple people. To people a generation earlier, Simpson is the former Buffalo Bill and USC Heisman Trophy winner who killed a couple people.
Regardless, you would be hard pressed to find someone in the United States and Canada who does not know who OJ Simpson is.
Fifteen years after he killed two people (allegedly), Simpson has a notoriety and fame that is equal to what he had before the double murder in California that he has been found responsible for in a civil court. No one ever pretended Simpson wasn’t a great football player. They didn’t stop showing “Roots” or “the Towering Inferno” or any “Naked Gun” movies because the Juice is a notorious murderer, even if he was not convicted. ESPN still mentions him on SportsCenter when he is relevant to something (such as rushing records, or perhaps the Heisman Trophy) and he is still featured on ESPN Classics in old game footage, and even as a commentator on things like “Superteams:Tug of War”.
So why is it that one of the best wrestlers to ever grace the squared circle is a taboo subject? Why is it that Chris Benoit cannot be celebrated as a great professional grappler that just so happened to murder a couple people, but OJ Simpson can be recognized as an all-time great in his sport?
I am not here to argue that the Benoit Family murder-suicide was not Benoit’s fault, or anything like that. All I am saying is that Chris Benoit was perhaps the best wrestler of his generation, and his body of work should be examined and debated and talked about, rather than swept under the rug as if he never existed.
While there is not debate that Benoit was a murderer, there is also no debate as to what kind of wrestler Benoit was. Benoit was a main event wrestler in every major US wrestling promotion, in Mexico, in Europe, and in Japan. Benoit was a “wrestler’s wrestler” – a true mat technician who not only wowed fans with his matches, but also his peers.
The fact of the matter is this – Benoit, upon an autopsy, was found to have severe brain damage. The damage was done from years upon years of punishment to his head while wrestling. The psychological effects of abusing bodybuilding drugs since adolescence so that he could have a body similar to that of his idol, the Dynamite Kid, also contributed to the Benoit familicide.
Why did Benoit continue to punish his body for years with taking risks in the ring and by injecting harmful drugs into his body? He did it to be the best wrestler in the world. He did it to make his idol, the Dynamite Kid, proud. He gave his body to wrestling. In the end, he sacrificed his life and his body for professional wrestling.
In one way, Benoit should be celebrated. No, of course he shouldn’t be celebrated for killing his family. That would be ridiculous. However, why does our society celebrate athletes like Kobe Bryant, who dedicated his life to basketball at a young age, reached the pinnacle of his profession, and also committed an unforgivable crime? Why is it that mentioning Benoit the athlete is taboo, but in Bryant’s case, it is taboo to mention the rape?
When I was debating becoming a professional wrestler, and when I was training, one of my favorite wrestlers to watch was Benoit. I could write pages and pages on why, but the short version of the story is that he was very good at what he did. Benoit was that good in the ring because he sacrificed like few others would. He sacrificed his body, his mind, his health, his sex drive, and many other things average people take for granted – for the business. If I were a young basketball player, is the game of Kobe not one I should emulate? Shouldn’t young people emulate the work ethic and sacrifices that successful people make?
As a society we emulate people like Richard Pryor and give him credit for changing comedy, yet downplay that he was an addict and an abuser. Generations of kids grew up emulating athletes who were arrested for drugs or violence. Roman Polanski has been given numerous awards for him film-making, even though for years he has lived in exile to avoid facing pedophilia charges. One of the most popular shows on television features an abusive whore-mongering addict named Charlie Sheen. Michael Vick killed numerous dogs for fun, yet is on the football field every week.
Even in wrestling, there are examples of a double standard.
“Superfly” Jimmy Snuka once killed a woman in a drug fueled rampage in a hotel in Allentown, PA while an employee of the WWF/WWE. Not only that, but charges were never even pressed against Snuka for the killing. In fact, he got off scott free for the killing in large part due to Vince McMahon portraying Snuka as a “mindless savage” who “didn’t know any better” to the authorities. Yet, Snuka still appears on WWE broadcasts. His name is not taboo. Snuka’s existence is still acknowledged.
So, why is what Chris Benoit did in the final days of his life so much worse than what others have done? Why isn’t the example he set used as a tool to teach? If years of abusing his body in such a manner led to his family’s annihilation, why are his life choices not highlighted and drawn attention to, in an effort to prevent another incident in the future? Why is it that we can separate personal shortcomings from the body of work of individuals like Simpson, Pryor, Snuka, Bryant, Polanski, and Sheen, but cannot separate Benoit’s ring work from his family life?
The reasons that the WWE have for not mentioning Benoit are many, but when taken in context, are designed more to keep up with the company’s public image than anything else. Benoit being a taboo subject is a public relations move. In addition, the Benoit and Eddy Guerrero deaths shed light on many of the business practices of the WWE, which is something that McMahon might be angry about. Maybe by erasing Benoit from the “WWE Universe”, McMahon is also hoping to erase the bad press Benoit’s death gave his company.
My fear is that in a decade, no one will realize just how good Chris Benoit was in the ring. People are allowed to remember Ernest Hemingway for the books he wrote, not for his mental problems and suicide. After his death, Michael Jackson was celebrated for his music, not for being a child rapist. Why is it that we cannot celebrate Benoit for being one of the all time greats in the squared circle?

Column – Paying to Play – Nikita Allanov
Posted: January 25, 2010
Recently a subject came up in a conversation with some friends of mine within the wrestling business, and only days later I saw it pop up in a conversation online amongst a group of wrestlers. So, since I have some thoughts on the matter, I thought it would make a good subject for a column. So here goes.
One of the guys that I trained to wrestle recently was accepted into a “tryout camp” for World Wrestling Entertainment. Upon his acceptance, he tweeted his news. Shortly after that a series of congratulatory remarks were posted in response, followed up by the inevitable derogatory comments. Soon the thread degenerated into another individual attending the same camp telling the guy he was wasting his time, while another individual told him he was wasting his money. Soon everyone started bickering back and forth, and my protege finally said he was doing this to follow his dream, and didn’t really care what they thought.
The thing that caught my eye about the whole conversation was the fact that the individuals in the conversation were bickering about wasting money to attend a tryout, and how much the camps cost, and so forth. I found it quite odd that one guy who was accepted to the camp was ripping on another guy for going to the same exact camp. But, what intrigued me more was that these guys were essentially paying for the right to go on a job interview.
This is part of the problem with professional wrestling. Not just at the top level, but at all levels. I have been racking my brain, and I cannot think of one single profession where you have to pay to try-out, or to be considered for a position. McDonald’s does not have an application fee. The NBA doesn’t charge individuals to tryout. I am unfamiliar with any casting directors who charge actors to audition. I am unfamiliar with any bands who have had to pay to play. Look at the thousands upon thousands of people that attend American Idol auditions – do these people have to pay?
So, why then in professional wrestling, is it common practice and readily accepted that you have to pay for a tryout? I honestly cannot fathom any reason how this became an accepted practice, or why it still occurs, but it is mind blowing. Sure, actors might have agents they have to pay to get their foot in the door for auditions, or an athlete might depend upon an agent or a coach to get them camp invitations and such, but it seems inconceivable to me that a guy in training camp trying to earn a roster spot with the New York Yankees would have to pay a fee to attend. Can you imagine if you were looking through the want-ads in the paper, trying to find a job to put food on the table for your family, and it cost $1000 to apply for a job?
I understand why the hosts of these tryout camps do this – because it makes them money. But, does it not kill the credibility that these camps are of any use?
Recently the Cincinnati Reds (my favorite pro sports team!) won a bidding war to sign heralded left-handed pitcher Aroldis Chapman – a Cuban defector who was on the free agent market. Chapman had a number of professional teams bidding for his services, even though he has never thrown a pitch in the Major Leagues. After he defected to the Netherlands last year during the World Baseball Classic, Chapman hired an agent to help him secure a deal to play in the major leagues. While I am certain that the agent is getting paid via commission for his services, I never heard anything in any news reports regarding Chapman having to pay a tryout fee to the Reds, Angels, Yankees, or Major League Baseball as a whole, to be scouted.
I do not understand how professional wrestling organizations can do this, and get away with it. There is a difference between charging someone to attend a camp as a way to be coached – that happens at many levels. Corporations often pay for their employees to attend training seminars. Individuals often pay to take classes to stay competitive in their fields. Even at the youth sports levels, there are camps that athletes can attend to improve their skills.
No, there is a distinct difference between having a wrestling camp where you evaluate talent, to perhaps be signed to contracts by your organization, and having a training camp designed to teach. If these camps that are advertised as a chance to be scouted by the WWE are in fact just training camps, then it is very misleading to say that the WWE will be there to evaluate talent.
The fact of the matter is, there are a limited number of jobs in professional wrestling, and there is an overabundance of people wanting those jobs of all skill levels. While you can argue the merits of who WWE/TNA/ROH sign to contracts, the fact is that wrestling is one of the few fields where worthless hacks that have no business being in the business to begin with, can stay in it for years if they have enough money to be of use to someone. There are no agents that sign prospects and get them the things they need to get to the next level. Why? WWE does not negotiate with agents. Why? Because it is easier to give someone an unfair contract if they do not have anyone to negotiate for them. Think of it this way: Professional wrestlers have to pay their own travel expenses. Players in the National Football League do not. Plus, there are 1664 players under contract in the NFL – not counting practice squad or injured reserve players. How many guys are under contract to the WWE at one time? 100, maybe? NFL players sign exclusive contracts for one league/team – why are they not considered independent contractors? But, wrestlers will put up with that, and even pay someone for the opportunity to be scouted, because they want to be a wrestler that bad. It is as nonsensical as you can possibly imagine.
The truth of the matter is this – the best way to get work in professional wrestling is through who you know. Word of mouth and references mean more than anything. While camps like these can certainly help you get your name out there, the truth of the matter is if the WWE is interested in signing you, they are going to approach you about working for them. Only in professional wrestling are you required to spend your own money to show how deep your desire is. I guess Vince McMahon has issues with making money off of “superstars” who do not sacrifice their pocketbooks to show how badly they want to be a star. Pumping steroids into your veins, sacrificing in the gym and the ring, and giving up any kind of normal social life isn’t enough.
The wrestling business is full of shady carny “businessmen” – and none are more shady and carny than the ones at the top. Until wrestlers smarten up and clean up this business and quit letting ourselves be taken advantage of, no one will think twice about having to pay for an audition to the “WWE Universe”.
