Davey O'Who? ...and news on the upcoming BLOGCAST!

Alright.

Much has been said here and elsewhere about HallOfFameGate and I like to think that I have made MY particular position fairly clear: as a fan of IYFW and as a fan of the wrestling business AS A BUSINESS, I fully support In Your Face Wrestling's right to hold an event the same night as the PWHF-sponsored show ... Especially since the IYFW event was booked first ... But that's an entirely different story that will likely see the light of day sooner rather than later.

In the midst of all the controversy, I'm not the only one who has said spoken out. Check this link out from the fine folks over at prowrestlingdigest.com. Read the write up on the Hall if it suits you then scroll down to the comments. This gem in particular:

"The PWHF is NOT working with In Your Face Wrestling promotion for this years’ induction. The show is not sanctioned, supported or recomended by our organization. The Hall is working with a local promoter and will support the show that is presented at Amsterdam HS on the Friday night before the induction.

A group of “backyard wrestlers” may enjoy their hobby, but do not have anything to do with the business of professional wrestling or the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame."

Read the other comments, also. Those actually MAKE SENSE.

Anyhow, back to the above drivel. This was posted by a man named Davey O'Hannon. I googled the name (because I had never heard of him before) and discovered that he was an active professional wrestler between 1971 and 1990, competing for organizations including NWA and WWF... However, even still, there really wasn't a ton of info on this guy out there. This is a guy who clearly is heavily tied to the Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame, who is all over message boards telling old road stories and - apparently - attempting to bury independent wrestling under the PWHF banner.

Part of me wonders what the Hall of Fame thinks of his stance.

If you wonder how *I* feel about Davey and his views ... Tune in to the Wrestlefudge BLOGCAST this weekend. I'm feeling a live song parody in Davey's honor coming on...
