End Of Month Notes & Rankings

Through the first five months of this year, the San Antonio Independent Wrestling Scene has endeavored to to provide local fans with a non-critical source of information concerning recent & upoming events, wrestlers and promotions in the San Antonio Area. For the most part I have met with an enthusiastic response. Several wrestlers and promotions have used my reports in their own web pages and press releases. I have never met a wrestler about whom I didn't think "what a cool guy" afterwards. Maybe I have been lucky there. Recently however, I am becoming more aware that my work is being met with a degree of resentment. If i make a positive statement about one promotion, the others may infer that I am critical of their own promotion. I assure all that this is not my intent. My only goals are to provide information useful to local fans looking for a live event and to give some measure of credit to the workers who risk serious injury to provide entertainment to me and other fans.

This leads to the rankings. Every month I have stressed that the ranking are based not upon who is the best wrestler in San Antonio, but who has worked in the most shows, matches, main events, title matches etc. Most, if not all, of the best wrestlers on the monthly lists work shows all over the state or even the US. Several hold titles in other promotions. Still, anyone who does not consider pro wrestling a competition does not understand the basic nature of the people who choose to enter the business.

It is becoming more difficult to continue this project in the face of such attitudes. I will however continue for the time being in hopes that I can find a way to meet my goals without trampling the egos of anyone involved.

May Rankings

I often joke that if the rankings were based on who the best wrestler in San Antonio is during a month, it would become very boring... January - Hotstuff... February - Hotstuff... March - Hotstuff...

For the month of May, it finally happened. Hotstuff Hernandez is the San Antonio Independent Wrestling Scene Wrestler of the Month. In the toughest month to date several wrestlers competed in three or more matches. In fact, seven wrestlers accumulated enough points to have earned the status of Wrestler of the Month during January or February. Hotstuff Hernandez earns this position over the Nerdy Boys (who shared the title in February) on the strength of his extending his streak of unbeaten matches in San Antonio during 2006 through 3 matches including a title victory and 2 main events with 1 victory and 1 no decision in a shocking heel turn Saturday.

Congratulations to Hotstuff Hernandez... and to all the wrestlers who give their best to entertain San Antonio wrestling fans.
