About the Starman

I became a wrestling fan in the early 80’s (around 1984 to be exact), because of my two older brothers. Being that I was eight and 10 years younger than them, I was used often as a sparring partner for my teenage brothers to try out wrestling moves. I can say for a fact that the Figure-Four Leg Lock, Sharpshooter/Scorpion Death Lock and Camel Clutch can and do hurt when applied correctly. I continued to watch wrestling religiously up until around 1991. I started high school, and being a teenager, wrestling just wasn’t “cool” anymore. Plus, wrestling just wasn’t as entertaining as it once was.

A year after I graduated from high school, wrestling came crawling back into my life. While flipping through channels, I happened to stop on a wrestling program for a minute to watch what was going on. That single minute has turned into an obsession that has cost me to spend thousands of hours of my life in front of the television since then.

I finally started writing about this healthy obsession on the Internet in October of 2005 on wrestling blog I started called “The Squared Circle.” Less than a year later, I became a contributing writer on Gerweck.net, providing weekly TNA Impact recaps and monthly pay-per-view previews. Since then, my writing has been geared more towards TNA, hence this web site.
