Total Devastation Association

Commissioner Report - June 13, 2004

June 13th, 2004 Email: commisshric@hotmail.com

Well, what a long time between reports. It just goes to show you of how busy a man can get while manning the powerful federation that is the Total Devastation Association. We're just getting better and better all of the time.

Let me start off by saying that the roster has since taken a decent sized improvement with other guys coming in while others are axed. This is in an effort to keep the TDA's roster at its best, no matter what we have to do in order to get it competing to the stage of entertainment, excitement and memories which will last a lifetime. With that in mind, Wrestlecraze 4 will be taking place on Saturday, August 14th, 2004 at Toronto's Skydome. A great crowd of upwards of 70,000 will be expected. Having a crowd that big with the sound that strong, it's no matter that the TDA will always succeed throughout all of the challenges it faces from its normal day-to-day operations.

Injustice III was spectacular. What can I say? The Sky-Line Match was everything that a wrestling fan could have wanted. Shark and Rottweiler fought with tooth and nail and injuries took their toll. Both competitors will be back when they are fully recovered, which is expected to be back in a month or so. Rottweiler was the new champion.

MidKnight won the TDA title. For so long, that title had eluded him and finally, he captured it. I found it pretty interesting to see why Nick Nitemare had gotten himself involved in the matchup. Well, he better hold his ground...I'm the Commissioner of the TDA here. He shouldn't have messed with the outcome. It was an exciting match that frankly, something like that made it troublesome. Oh ya...for those of you who may tell me that the referee had missed a call when the foot of Jesse Daniels was on the ropes when MidKnight pinned him...Well, the referee at the time was in a position that he couldn't have seen Jesse's foot on the ropes. To that end, MidKnight is your new TDA champion. Ace put up a great fight to defend his crown with Jesse Daniels coming close. But, no matter what...that was a show to remember.

In other results...The Blood Pack's Tornado and Phoenix had become the new TDA Tag Team Champions with a victory over The New ADT's The Supreme Machine & Shane Malone. They deserved those titles; The Great White Dragon was defeated by Vito Grazzino. Not a bad match, although I think that Dragon deserves a re-match. Tomas was successful in fending off both The One and Matradox. Tomas got lucky, I believe. Plus, Yami had gotten a decision over Bane. Yami has gotten his revenge after Bane had sucker punched him in the locker room before the match happened. In my books, I believe that Injustice III was a show for the ages. Wrestlecraze 4 will be just as memorable.

In business news, we will be releasing C.T Ramirez this week. Just wasn't committed, I'm sure. We're no strangers to that...only the guys who are like that gets the axe of shame. There were some contract extensions to both Grazzino's and The Great White Dragon. A contract offer was since made to Bane and was excepted.

The TDA has since signed their newest talent to the fold, Lynx. I believe that this superstar will benefit well with the others in the locker room. A great addition...We're close on making two additional signings, whom are newcomers Shane Cassidy and Tombstone.

The Merchandise section is doing much better as of late. Remember, if any of you want to make requests for clothing items or anything else, please click on the link which is provided at the top of that page in the "Retail" section.

Lastly, in the application page, there will be an addition made. There will be a new section posted to provide a sample role-play that the TDA management will be judging any other future TDA superstar that comes into the fold. Not only will the history and realistic characteristics will be normally looked at, the sample role-play will give the management a true sense of who they will be signing. Many times in the past we have signed these potentially high-priced guys, only to find that they're in the graveyard, with very poor two-month probation periods. Heck, sometimes just one week or even one month. It would improve our quality for talent that we bring in to strengthen an already strong roster.

I have one last item to address. We are finalizing the details for making a successful link to the TBL Newsletter. This newsletter has many subscribers world-wide, which includes their affiliates. Our goal is to secure the Total Devastation Association as a future affiliate with the TBL Newsletter. With that going to be done, those who subscribe to it, will receive the newsletters in their e-mail inboxes. The TDA link will be provided to them in the newsletters, which in turn, can lead them to us and would make them a potential member of the best e-fed that is on the 'net today!!!

That seems to be it for this two month or so period. I'll be sure to provide more issues on a more consistent basis. I'll try.

Commissioner Report - April 11, 2004

April 11th, 2004 Email: commisshric@hotmail.com

It is spring time and the weather outside is starting to get warm. The snow is melting away which means that winter is a thing of the past. With that in mind, there has been so much action in the Total Devastation. Not only in the ring, but in the front office. All of that will be covered in this report.

From a personal stand point, I would like to acknowledge the wrestling performances of all of our wrestlers for a great job as of late. I'm proud of all of you with your matches. Things will only get better as our booking team is constantly at work, trying to make things new and exciting for our TDA roster.

Along the same lines, I've been given plenty of positive feedback in regards of The March Of War. Let me be the first to tell you all that the feedback was great, as many people thought that the PPV show was considered to be the best in the TDA's history. Our feedback was given directly to the booking team thanking them for putting a great job into the show for how it was put together. Great job guys, even though that it was a bit late. Keep up the great work!!!

The March Of War...what can I say??? Could there have been a better homecoming for Ace??? For most people, they'd say yes, but not me!!! You see, even though that Ace pinned Crow, it was evident that "The Feature" Nick Nitemare DIDN'T get pinned!!! Ace, take it from me, kid. Nick's after you!!!

Now, for those of you who are wondering if I should back up or just ease up on things about the TDA and how I should change because I was defeated by Yami, oh phulezz!!! Tell me if that would make me change one iota?! No it could not have. This Commissioner will remain at the top of his perch...

This brings me to The Masked Men. What an impressive win over The Family. Well, I'll be the first to say that I'm not scared of them. They can do all they want but I'll continue to do the best for the TDA. As long as that's done, things will be good. But as far as I know, no one can control the TDA and demand anything and expect to get what they want!!!

That leads me into the news package...and believe me there's a ton of it. First off, there is the issue of “The March of War” being posted late. Tell me if there's another fed out there that can be up-to-date ALL THE FUCKING TIME. If we're robots here expecting to get things done as we'd said we would, well, you have to expect some leeway, right? Nope....not for Crow, Juice, Shadow or even Kadee for that matter. Kadee, you're hurt due to the Masked Men...now I don't give a damn if you die or whatever....you don't piss me off! Crow...a TDA champion and stuff. DON'T PISS ME OFF!!! Two gone!!! Juice and Shadow...both of you were hated rivals. But not anymore because both of you decide to come to the decision that both of you will quit with those other two whom I referred to just earlier. FOUR GONE!!!

We almost had some devastating losses. The Brotherhood were about to quit but since we expressed out 'PRO WRESTLING ORGANIZATION' as well as the 'MEANING' of things to them, they're back in one piece. The TDA is a fed that is not just an e-fed but are known as a PRO WRESTLING ORGANIZATION...WE believe in keeping things fresh all the time. If things need to be changed, they're changed. That's why we're still around. Keeping things fresh makes things always changing and always new things going on. Rarely do you hear about a something being old or stale. With that out of the way, things are fine.

That was the release side of things. During the same month, there have also been quite a few new hires. Bane, C.T. Ramirez, The Great White Dragon, Todd Tippett and Scaltro were all brought in to the TDA. I'm sure that there are some of you who may remember Todd Tippett. Yes, "Double T". He's the same guy who had taken that tumble down the stairs in his house??? He shouldn't be wrestling if he's been that hurt for Christ’s sakes.

The Payroll has been updated.

I would like to mention that the Merchandise page has been re-arranged so that the Merchandise Coordinator’s e-mail address has been properly linked. That way, there will be better access to make requests to Sean Janzer, who is in charge of Merchandise. Any requests? Send him an e-mail and he’ll be more then welcome to put the item up for you.

The next PPV for the TDA will be on Saturday, May 29th, which will be Injustice III. The location has yet to be announced. Stay tuned to any other updates along the way for matches and anything else related to Injustice.

The Features section will be worked on this week. There will be some new links added in there. As well as that, the link for the Vomit Comet web blog will be taken out from the left side and will be changed over to the Features section. The link of Salty Ham will be moved from the main page, to be relocated to the Features section. Once it's finished, it will look very nice I'm sure.

I'm happy to see that the OOC (Out-Of-Character) message board is getting some action as of late. I'd like to see some more action in there. Remember, for those of you who will be posting, you don't need to have your wrestling names. You can use your real names and you can say anything you wish on that board. Feel free to say what you want in there. That's why it's there.

The upcoming tour schedule will be announced this week. We'll be posting some house shows late this week. The next Inferno will be on Friday, April 16th.

It looks like this is all for this time.

Commissioner Report - March 12, 2004

March 12th, 2004 Email: commisshric@hotmail.com

Welcome to this edition of the Commissioner Report. So much happened and is happening these days around the TDA Head Office as well as in the ring.

Well, how did the Winter Whiplash PPV go? In my opinion, well, could've been better. The only good news that I can get is having J-A Supreme being finished for his career as a new superstar came into the fold. I will have more on that front for you in a moment. Shark got the victory over both J-A Supreme and Vito Grazzino in the TRIPLE THREAT Stretcher Match. Ha, Shark got his way, didn't he???

As far as the rest of the results, the only championship to change hands in the six-man contest was Tomas as he became the new TDA Television Champion; Juice got a win over Shadow, but not until after Juice showboating that Shadow had gotten the best of Juice. That'll show him. Crow, take that!!!

Ricky Jones took home the TDA Ontario Title for the second time which is history for the TDA as no one had gotten that title twice in their career. I just hope that Chris Pap doesn't have a sore throat before the next Inferno. Actually, I wish I do hope he has one because I hate him. Next!!!

In the main event, Crow retained the TDA title after Tornado....ya....Tornado, came in and took down Nick Nitemare, who was the appointed guest referee for that contest. He called the match right down the middle, as he said he would. Crow took the hand of Nick and counted to 3 and signaled for the bell. I for one will make sure that Crow's title reign will be the worst that he'll have in his entire career!!! Nick Nitemare LET YOU WIN, Crow!!!

Ok, for the news of the week. We had released "The Young Gun" Brandon Grant because he just wasn't interested in us anymore, much like many others. The TDA did sign Shadow and had brought him back into the fold. We're all close on making another signing. And, in addition to that, Yami, the big signing which I've been telling all of you about for a long time now, has been signed to the TDA. Oh ya, as I shall not forget that Tony Grazzino has also been signed to the TDA. Tony is Vito's brother and is just as nasty, just as ruthless and will be a great fit for us. We have a solid roster and it can only get better. As a matter of fact, there have been talks with many former superstars with the TDA in the past who may decide to make a return!!! Ha!!! Yes...they always find out that they have to come back crawling back to me because they all know that they can't succeed anywhere else.

Here's the updated schedule for house shows and Inferno's:

Saturday, March 6th: Honshu, Japan
Monday, March 8th: Seoul, South Korea
Friday, March 12th: Beijing, China (Inferno)
Tuesday, March 16th: Turin, Italy
Wednesday, March 17th: Rome, Italy (Inferno)
Friday, March 19th: Zagreb, Croatia (Inferno)
Note that the additional Inferno will be taking place on St. Patrick's Day as the announcement of the next PPV will be coming shortly. That in a moment.

The next Total Devastation Association PPV will be The March Of War 2004 will be live from Middleborough, England on Wednesday, March 31st. There will be three Inferno shows leading up to the PPV itself.

There is also an additional note for Inferno. Keep in mind that there may be some Inferno shows where the complete descriptions of the matches won't be included. I wish to remind you all that Zeus Pro 2000, the program which is used for the TDA's matches, occasionally gives me problems. If the problems are too excessive, the shows will be written out in point form, with highlights of the shows, including backstage segments and in-ring action. We here at the TDA would like to apologize before hand as we're committed in bringing you the entertainment which you deserve and our devotion to bring that entertainment for you. Also, our schedules are never perfect to work with. In any e-fed, we all know that sometimes, there are times when shows aren't posted on time, which always frustrates the roster members. Just think for a minute here. Those people who expect the shows to be posted on time and such, do know that they can also be as busy as the roster members themselves. We all have lives here and whenever we have problems and scheduling conflicts, we can't control them. The least we can do is to try our best to have the shows as close to being up on time as possible. With that said, we would like to wish that you guys can all co-operate and continue to have patience with us. Thank you.

It has been discussed amongst our associates that the current "Features" section will be re-worked which would become a section devoted to sites which the TDA are associated with. We have the links currently and some of those are with us right now. Those ones include Salty Ham, The Vomit Comet web blog, The Calgary Sun Column done by Bret Hart as well as a wrestling news websites' news page from Wrestling-Online.com. What is being planned is for the current links to be put into the re-worked section, as well as a couple others. If you believe that this is a good idea and you also have other cool links to give us to use, e-mail me at my Yahoo! account which is nciv_99@yahoo.ca, or you could e-mail Joe Civiero at Just_The_Best17@hotmail.com. Currently, my hotmail account is giving me problems so you can e-mail those addresses until the problems are rectified.

An additional note about any other potential members who have come to this site who are willing to send in applications to the TDA, the problems which I've having with my Hotmail account would also effect the applications being sent, which the application will not reach us. I apologize for the inconvenience. Try to send the applications, though. This won't stop you. I just want to give you all the heads up.

Lastly, the merchandise section is being rarely used at all, to the point that there haven't been any requests for any merchandise items. I'll try to furbish it up to make sure that all of you can access that e-mail address to get your requests in. For the time being, however, if any of you have any requests, please send them to nciv_99@yahoo,ca, or to Joe Civiero at Just_The_Best17@hotmail.com. Thank you. The requests will be then sent to the Merchandise Coordinator, Sean Janzer and he'll try his best to get the item up.

That's it for this busy week. I'll try to come back at you next week. Mind you, these Commissioner Reports are about every month, but I'll try to get another report next week. Take care.

Commissioner Report - February 22, 2004

February 22nd, 2004 Email: commisshric@hotmail.com

This is a Commissioner Report where I can actually say that for the first time in a long, long while, that we are finally in sync and ready to keep up with action packed shows on a more consistent basis.

So, with that said, we now have a guy who has returned back to the TDA. The Supreme Machine. For The Machine, I hope he was successful in getting out of Halifax from the snow. I had to put that in there.

House Shows as well as Inferno's are back on schedule. The schedule will be put out later in this report. I'm happy that we're finally back on a regular schedule. Hopefully this can lead to more new talent to come in.

We have some new arrivals that have come into the fold. One of note includes our first female wrestler to appear in a long time. Her name is Firey Angel. From what I've seen, she's a keeper. In addition to that, Shadow has returned to TDA television this week, and will be offered a new contract this week as well. Their contracts will be posted on the payroll section once both contracts are signed and approved.

Here's an update as far as our links to other websites. I had spoken to a friend this week in which he could try to re-organize a new section devoted for any links which are currently associated with our website, plus ones which I'm planning to bring along to the new section's re-design. I'm in belief that the new section will be called the "Entertainment" section. Things may change, but that's the information that we have right now.

Finally, I was able to get the e-mail link for Sean Janzer, our Merchandise Coordinator. You can e-mail him for shirts, caps, foam-fingers and much more. There's a blank spot beside the word "E-mail" on the Merchandise section. That's the area where the active link is. Sorry for the inconvenience. Please e-mail Sean Janzer at pod200059405@yahoo.com. The e-mail link is available on the Merchandise page on the top above the items.

I believe that you all have noticed that house shows and Inferno's have been coming fast and furious recently. The current tour schedule leading up to the Winter Whiplash PPV is as follows. Please note that some of these shows are already posted:

Friday, February 13th, 2004: Sydney, Australia (Inferno)
Monday, February 16th, 2004: Wagga Wagga, Australia
Wednesday, February 18th, 2004: Melbourne, Australia
Thursday, February 19th, 2004: Queensland, Australia
Friday, February 20th, 2004: Auckland, New Zealand (Inferno)
Sunday, February 22nd, 2004: Osaka, Japan
Friday, February 27th, 2004: Hiroshima, Japan (Inferno)
Sunday, February 29th, 2004: Winter Whiplash PPV Tokyo, Japan

With the schedule as it is right now, the card for Winter Whiplash is as follows. Note that more matches will be posted there as they're announced:

TOTAL DEVASTATION ASSOCIATION CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Ace vs. Crow [c]
(Special guest referee for that match, "The Feature" Nick Nitemare)
Personally, I feel that was the best choice in my mind.

HANDI-CAP STRETCHER MATCH
J-A Supreme vs. Vito Grazzino & Shark
(To win the match, put the opponent on the stretcher and carry them out of the arena)

SIX-MAN TAG MATCH (TAG TEAM, HARDCORE & TELEVISION TITLES ARE ALL ON THE LINE)
The Brotherhood (MidKnight, Tomas [tt]& Rottweiler [hc]
vs.
The Sickness (Assassin, The Damned Soul & Tornado [tv]
Any fall by pin, submission, countout or disqualification to a champion, the title will change hands. For the tag team title to be changed hands, both members of the team have to be eliminated from the match.

Black out.

Commissioner Report - January 28, 2004

January 28th, 2004 Email: commisshric@hotmail.com

So here we are back from a shut down and what happens? Well, nothing's changed. Here's the happenings.

The following superstars have either decided not to tell me anything about their intentions of returning, or just turned out to be lazy. Dark Mage, Dusty, "Double T" Todd Tippett, "Icon" Mark Riggins, Jack Frost, "Sinister" Scott Adams, "The Big Rig" Dan Martin, Jann Li and "The Slickster" Chris Titmus. All of these guys just never brought anything. Hey, it's my opinion. You see, any of these guys could've been former champions like Titmus and Riggins were… as well as Adams. But what it comes down to is when they leave, I will humiliate all of them as they go out the door. There we go.

So, with that said, we now have two guys who have returned back to the TDA. Those competitors include The Supreme Machine as well as Rocco Simpson. Interesting, eh? I'm not sure of what they have in mind, but hey, hope they are successful.

House shows will be back next week. The next Inferno is iffy as it is because Zeus Pro 2000 is gone from our hands. When we had brought in our computer for servicing, Zeus was taken off the computer, and can't be found. If any of you can find an alternate wrestling match simulator for us, please e-mail me either a link to a website. Thank you very much. We were thinking of having Inferno this Friday from Olympic Stadium in Sydney, Australia. But for the time being, until we find a new simulator, we can't give Inferno. We're sorry.

I also have some contract news. The contracts for Ace, Phoenix, Tornado, Rocco Simpson and The Supreme Machine were all taken care of. We're close to re-signing "The Feature" Nick Nitemare, "Just The Best" Jesse Daniels and Shark to one-year extensions. As far as Riggins and Adams, their contracts will be taken off the payroll system. This means that the other updates to the site will take time as running a fed is never easy to begin with. Thank you for co-operation.

We have a new link that we're associated with. www.saltyham.com is a website is devoted to guys with many interests. Music, Wrestling, Sports, hey, even facts of Life and as well as their recently new "Salty Forums". Check it out. Salty Ham is what it's called. They have linked us to their site as well.

Finally, I'd want to ensure you all that if any of the current roster members would like any merchandise items put up into the Merchandise section, please e-mail Sean Janzer at pod200059405@yahoo.com. Thank you very much. I'll try to get a link up with his e-mail address in the merchandise section if possible.

Take care, TDA. I know I'd like a better schedule for shows and so on, but when something comes up that is out of our control, there's nothing we can do.

Black out.

Commissioner Ric Black

Commissioner Report - October 28, 2003

October 28th, 2003 Email: commisshric@hotmail.com

Well, it's been about three weeks since the last report, but it didn't mean that the offices of the TDA were as busy as usual. They were. Here's an explanation.

We have yet some more 'retirements' or 'quitters' that have happened in the last three weeks. The Hammer and Night-Havok are the newest members to be in the "Ric Black Fired" Club. Remember kids. Anyone who quits doesn't quit because that's not the way to do business. Rather, it's called "I just got fired by the Commissioner." There you go. Hope you do well. Yeah, whatever.

There are some discussions that we're close to a signing of a new superstar. Not sure exactly of what the details are, but I'll let you know once more details become available.

The location of Revolt, the next TDA PPV will be held on Sunday, November 23rd from the Tokyo Dome in Tokyo, Japan. The Japanese have always been great fans for TDA wrestling entertainment. That's why we were so pleased to come back there.

Speaking of which, our tour schedule has been lacking somewhat, as arenas and stadiums have been so rude to us and not making them available upon our request. Well, we've actually had time to get some shows and live events. Here's this week's schedule:

Tuesday, October 28th: Santo Domingo, Puerto Rico
Wednesday, October 29th: San Juan, Puerto Rico
Friday, October 31st: Rio De Janeiro, Brazil (Inferno)
Next week, I'll be announcing more shows and events in the next report.

Before I forget, there has been one match announced for Revolt. It is Jann Li and Vito Grazzino against MidKnight and Tomas of Blitzkrieg for the tag team championship. More matches will be announced on this week’s Inferno.

A new addition to the Total Devastation Association was announced since last week as we have a link to a friend's Web Blog Page at www.vomitcomet.blogspot.com. This blog page is based on two guys who post random thoughts and rants on it, with a comment board that is available for those people to comment on their topics. I do want to specify a rule that was instated by the Blogmasters of that site, Matt Robinson as well as Steve Wetlauffer. They announced to me that anyone, including myself from the TDA, can't try to post anything in regards to the TDA. NO TDA CONTENT WILL BE ALLOWED ON THEIR COMMENT BOARDS. Nothing for personal gain is acceptable. So please respect their rules and just enjoy their thoughts and comment on them. Thank you very much.

Commissioner Report - July 27, 2003

July 27th, 2003 Wrestlecraze Edition Email: commisshric@hotmail.com

Welcome to yet another issue of the Commissioner Report, Wrestlecraze edition.

Let me first say that as far as the Wrestlecraze III card being posted on time, I'll say this only once: IT MAY BE POSTED TONIGHT OR TOMORROW. There. I've said it.

Well, with the Anniversary Inferno out of the way, I'm glad to see that the TDA is starting to get hot in popularity once again. The role-players are extremely enthusiastic about what is going on. With the bookers coming up with new and shocking storylines for each show, it will only get better!!! Keep up the good work!!!

As far as new things are concerned, we have finally found our new Merchandise Coordinator. His name is Jessie Corcoran and will be taking requests from any roster member. Requests can be anything from shirts to caps. Foam Fingers too. All requests can be directed via e-mail at stinky_cows@hotmail.com. The new items will be posted up once the request is made. It will take awhile but will be posted there.

It's been awfully busy in the front office lately. Applications have been flying in. Here are two more which have been signed with us. They are Ian Black (no relation) and Inferno. How catchy, I guess. Who'd want to name their wrestler after OUR TV SHOW??? IT'S COPYRIGHTED, FOR CHRIST'S SAKES!!! We're also very close to re-signing a superstar who had been with us once before as well. The TDA are also interested in six other former superstars to come and re-join the roster. I'll let you know if anything breaks.

In related news, Ripper Jack STILL hasn't come back to me in regards to his contract. It will on the table for about four more days until July 31st at 11:59 pm. If he doesn't get back by then, he'll be released. A few more wrestlers on our roster will become free agents as of August 1st, 2003. Some of the names include Assassin, Crow and 'Sinister' Scott Adams. That bitch Assassin will get his ass served to him tonight on a silver platter at Wrestlecraze!!!

The final card for Wrestlecraze III has been posted over on the 'Next PPV' section. Including my match where I'll pound Assassin into the ground!!!

The last bit of news is that we have gotten rid of the Chat Room. We've been experiencing many difficulties for a long while now. If anyone can find a website that can have their chat rooms being pasted and linked to our website…that would be good. Thanks for the co-operation.

I will have a post-Wrestlecraze report up for Wednesday. 'Til then, see ya in the ring!!!

Commissioner Black

Commissioner Report - July 23, 2003

July 23rd, 2003 Email: commisshric@hotmail.com

This Commissioner Report is brought to you by SportsLife. Watch Friday Night Inferno every two weeks on SportsLife!
The TDA debuted with the first report back on July 18th, 2001. The Total Devastation Association is now nearing its third year of operation. With that, comes the 2nd Anniversary Inferno show which is this Friday from Burlington's Spencer Smith Park. It will be great with more matches expected for Wrestlecraze III to be announced. Here's the current card as it stands right now:

TDA CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
'The Feature' Nick Nitemare vs. Ace [c]
Personally, I think that match won't be anywhere close to a blockbuster. Oh well. The other matches, as they will be up on the official card soon:

TDA HARDCORE CHAMPIONSHIP BARBED WIRE CAGE MATCH
Rottweiler vs. Crow [c]
That match right there has the makings of a 'match of the night' label.

TDA TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE TOURNAMENT FINALS
Finalist #1 vs. Finalist #2
Oh yes, that reminds me. We have a new title name for our new title. It's called the TDA TV Title. Thanks for everyone who had sent in their suggestions.

Speaking of Inferno, the card will be posted soon in the TV section. The Devastators, the Best of 2002, will be moved from the Main Page of the website to the TV section. It will be placed where and when it was taped during the year.

Onto a little business here. The TDA had been really busy this month with the roster. Five new TDA superstars signed probationary deals. Chad "The Bad Religion" Atlas, Chris "The Atl Xecutioner" Johnson, Night-Havok, Dark Mage as well as Banshee. All five I wish them good luck. Yeah, whatever...As far as the only one released superstar was Banger, as he was officially released.
Meanwhile, both "The Big Rig" Dan Martin and "Double T" Todd Tippett signed new contracts. Ripper Jack was also given a new offer but so far, he hasn't gotten back to me. He has until the end of the month, or else, into the graveyard you go!!!

I have been given an opportunity to have someone maintain the Merchandise section. There are two people who have indicated to me that they can start doing it. Both of you can still contact me via e-mail or via MSN Messenger if you are willing to do so. But, just in case, for the rest of the roster. If you know anyone who can do that, don't hesitate to e-mail me at commisshric@hotmail.com and I will be happy to give you the job.

Wrestlecraze III will be this Sunday, July 27th, from BC Place in Vancouver, British Columbia. This means that right after Inferno this Friday, the superstars will jet off right to Vancouver for Wrestlecraze. I have a feeling that it will be a spectacle!!!

Well, that is all from behind the black oak desk at the TDA Headquarters in Burlington Ontario. But one extra reminder...
After Wrestlecraze, it is indefinite if we will be posting a show (Inferno). The bookers are preparing themselves for a stressful situation called moving. This process takes a long time and takes up a ton of time in which would usually take up for doing Inferno cards. Adding to the fact that these bookers for us have a tremendous schedule to work with on top of this. I hope that all of you are co-operative enough for all of you to understand the situation that we have. No house shows will be posted until after the move in complete. Overall, there is a possibility that the TDA will be shut down for about a month and a bit, so that the bookers will be given enough time to go through the moving process. During that time, new applications still can be filled out, but as far as how long it will take us to respond to accept/reject you, it will take longer than usual. All in all, it will be a stressful process, but once it's done, things will get back on track.
As far as right now goes, there MAY be a chance to have an Inferno posted for Friday, August 8th. Once again, we're not sure if it will be posted or not. Please use patience and understanding to the pending situation that I had just explained earlier on.

Well, this wraps up a busy month. See you all at Wrestlecraze...where new stars are born and the ADT will reign supreme!!!

Commissioner Report - June 16, 2003

This Commissioner Report is brought to you by Sports Life, bringing you Inferno every two weeks!

Well, I'm back after a long time from the office. I've got many things on my mind lately, so it explains why I haven't informed anybody about anything.

First, Wrestlecraze's date has yet to be announced, as since that the first Inferno towards Wrestlecraze will be this Friday, making the plans shift a bit. Once an announcement is heard, I'll get it out there.
Jack Frost was officially welcomed back at the end of last month. Let's see of what he can really do. If he has a change of heart, damn it, I'll keep an eye on him!!!

As far as free agent news goes, Banger is the only free agent out there for this month. The TDA hasn't decided whether or not to give him an offer to him to stay around. We'll see.

The tour for this week post-PPV comes as follows:

Wednesday, June 11th, 2003: Orlando, Florida
Friday, June 13th, 2003: Clearwater, Florida
Saturday, June 17th, 2003: Clemson, South Carolina
Monday, June 16th, 2003: Atlanta, Georgia
Tuesday, June 17th, 2003: Columbus, Georgia
Friday, June 20th, 2003: Charlotte, North Carolina (Inferno)

Before Wrestlecraze, but in this month, or July, the TDA will be doing tours, which may include Inferno's, in Japan, Australia and Hawaii. I want to assure all of them that we haven't forgotten about you as our schedule keeps changing. Damn those arenas being available every damn night...

That's all in this update....Remember to e-mail me or Joe Civiero about possible names for a new title belt. I would also like to get someone in here to be in charge of the Merchandise section. Please, if someone's willing to do that, thank you very much.

Commissioner Report - May 23, 2003

Here's the Commissioner Report.

The TDA has signed newcomers Ripper Jack as well as 'Double T' Todd Tippett. Hope they do well. To the rumor mill now and it it's getting close that Assassin is close to re-signing with the TDA. As far as an update goes with Jack Frost, I gotten in contact with his party and he hasn't given me a call back or an e-mail back. I'd love to bring him back.

I have an update on The Supreme Machine. His knee injury will go through some more tests. It's not official as far as if he'll be able to wrestle again in the TDA. I'm very hopeful that he can wrestle at Injustice to defend the title like every fighting champion does.

Wrestlecraze III will be in Vancouver, BC. BC Place will be holding the TDA's annual biggest event. It will be bigger this year, of course.

The tour schedule:

Thursday, May 22nd: Providence, Rhode Island
Friday, May 23rd, Uniondale, New York
Sunday, May 25th: Voorhees, New Jersey
Tuesday, May 27th: East Rutherford, New Jersey
Wednesday, May 28th: New York City, New York
Friday, Atlantic City, New York (Inferno)
That does it from here.
