About

I grew up reading WWE Magazine and the "Apter" magazines, such as Pro Wrestling Illustrated and The Wrestler and, as far back as elementary school, thought it would be a great job to be able to write about the larger-than-life wrestlers and matches I watched every week. Thanks to Bleacher Report and the readers that take the time to read my articles, I get to do just that, for which I am extremely grateful.

    I thought it wise to delete my previous comment to you after the very sincere reply you granted me ( and thank you for the speed of it !!).

    Given your reply and its content, I think I may have misconstrued the intent and situation and wholeheartedly apologise.

    Keep up the awesome work though!!

    you're a featured columnist, no doubt you are aware of what articles appear from your fellow journalists on BR prior to writing your own. No doubt you were aware of Travis Taylors article on the two former wwe stars scheduled to appear at the Royal Rumble before writing your own quoting the exact same sources.

    I have read articles of yours in the past and found them to be very insightful and well written, however I found your journalistic indiscretion today an act of plagiarism, called you out on it like many readers would, and subsequently found my comment removed. I would hope this was not of your doing however I remain sceptical

    I would hope you don't go the same way as LaBar and get so caught up in the mediocre celebrity that is IWC journalism that you forget the integrity you should always show being in your position.

    As mentioned, I have found your previous articles to be of a typically very good quality, and hope to enjoy similarly entertaining reads in the future.
