Sign Guy Hospitalized After Mishap

This past Saturday was the annual HPW Anniversary Show. Jerry Wilson has been putting on amazing

independent wrestling action for 15 years now. This event was another amazing show with big named superstars like Hacksaw Jim Duggan signing autographs and posing for pictures with fans, The Wild Eyed Southern Boy Tracy Smothers in the main event, and NWA Ladies Champion Kacee Carlisle on the card as well.

The regular roster from HPW did an awesome job as always, and it was great to have a packed house to see the regulars and the guests, including Sign Guy, who comes back to HPW each year for the anniversary show.
Unfortunately, Sign Guy was involved in a mishap at the end of the first match, an over the top rope battle royal. After getting his leg in the top rope, Sign Guy took a head first spill to the concrete floor and was laying motionless  for several minutes. For those who now might be thinking oh there’s a wrestling work story coming – put that out of your mind.
This was as real as real could get and fortunately for Sign Guy, the anniversary show also doubles as the Columbus Fireman’s Cheer Fund Benefit Show, and there were numerous trained paramedics at ringside, so he was in good hand’s within seconds.
Here is an update that Jerry Wilson posted on his Facebook Page yesterday.
“Went to visit Sign Guy today and happy to report he is gonna be ok! Broken bones above eye, no surgery needed, big black eye and as always wanted to know if the spot looked good. Thankful to all his friends, wrestling family and family for all the prayers!”
I can hardly express how scared I was for my friend as I watched him lay there not moving. I know many people think wrestling is “fake” but as I said earlier, this injury was real life, and I was afraid for my friend’s life.
I’ve appeared on Sign Guy’s Radio program, and we’ve had him on DTRT Wrestling’s show as well.
I’m thanking God for the good reports that we are getting, but I’m still lifting Sign Guy up for his continued recovery.
Oh and by the way, Sign Guy was inducted into the HPW Hall of Fame along with the other three members of the High Rollers – it was too bad that he was already at the hospital getting ready to be airlifted to Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis when Jerry Wilson handed out the Hall of Fame Awards.

UPDATE: Just as I was posting this story I received this from Jerry Wilson:

Great news from Mrs. Sign guy , he is out of the hospital sore and tired but happy to be home and sending thanks out to everyone for the thoughts and prayers. Will be on FB in a couple days! He is one tough dude!

RAW Preview

20130722-175051.jpg

Both CM Punk & Daniel Bryan suffered brutal attacks at the hands of The Wyatt Family last week. Will either be in any condition to seek retribution?

Firing Big Show couldn’t stop him from interfering in WWE. Is a lifetime ban enough to keep The World’s Largest Athlete from showing up this week on Raw?

Last week, Kane removed his mask & pledged allegiance to Stephanie McMahon. With The Shield already at The Authority’s disposal, adding The Big Red Monster may add insurmountable might to whatever task they may be called upon to do.

Which team will be next to challenge Cody Rhodes & Goldust for the WWE Tag Team Championship?

“The Champ” John Cena is here & he’s fired up! Cena successfully defended his World Heavyweight Championship against Damien Sandow last week on Raw & he teamed with Cody Rhodes & Goldust to take down Sandow & The Real Americans on Smackdown. Cena proved without a shadow of a doubt he lives for a challenge. Who will be next to test him?

Jake Roberts

Jake “The Snake” Roberts told BlankManInc.com that he wants to use to use the crowd-funding site Indiegogo so fans can help him buy TNA. Roberts when asked about TNA going up for sale said, “God, it needs to. I mean , I watched for 10, 12, 15 years, however long it’s been out there & they suck. I guarantee you if I get the opportunity, in a matter of 6 months I’ll be pissing Vince McMahon off. My Numbers will beat his, I guarantee you that.” Roberts who was wanting to be in WWE’s Royal Rumble match but hasn’t heard from WWE in regards to that, says he would rather own TNA so he can change the world & get wrestling back to what it should be – wrestling, not sports entertainment.

Welcome Back Ed Boston!

 

Ed Boston on the mic

One of the original co-founders of DTRTwrestling.com will be posting on a incident that took place this past weekend that we feel is important to share with everyone.

So often critics of pro wrestling point out the fact that wrestling is scripted as a reason why this form of entertainment shouldn’t be taken seriously. The term “Fake” is used most of the time. This week Ed has a very real example of wrestling NOT being fake. Stay tuned…
