Archives For CWF

Saturday night I had the privilege to take part in the Christian Wrestling Federation’s 10 year anniversary show.

It was a great night with some great matches from CWF Alumni as well as the CWF future — including a 12 man Battle Royal.

For those who are new to the blog, I first found out about the CWF only a few months after it began (in May 2000).

And I went to my first CWF show in Georgetown, Texas in the Fall of 2000 after hearing about it from a fellow journalism student, Chris Allman (aka Chris Idol/Angel).

Several years later, I joined up with the CWF and served as the ring announcer and commissioner from 2005-2007.

It was a great time in my life, full of great memories and great relationships that I made while travelling from place to place with the guys — even more so with the late night trips Chris and I made from Belton to Rockwall (and back) that first year.

So Saturday night was a great time to remember some of those memories and a chance to see the work continue.

Rob (Jesus Freak) asked me to put together a slide show and highlight video to show Saturday night, so here they are in all their glory ::

You can find out more about the CWF through my archives, or visit www.christianwrestling.com (which I still manage). I also chatted with Chris a month or so back for the podcast and he talks about his history with the CWF along the way.

Back in July I reported that Google Earth had updated their satellite images of Jos, Nigeria (where Rob and a group of others from Lakepoint spent two weeks).

I shared the info with Mike Blythe, a missionary there working with the ECWA hospital.

Mike just sent me a link for a killer KMZ file that highlights lots of areas around Jos – including many of the sites that we saw and worked at while we were there.

To view it – be sure you have Google Earth installed and the open the link. It should automatically populate your “My places” with all the sites in Jos.

Big props to Mike! Makes me really want to go back there.

Just an FYI/reminder…

The Christian Wrestling Federation will be live in Rockwall, Texas tomorrow night. The show is scheduled to start at 7 p.m. It’s a free show and you can bet there will be plenty of updates throughout the night about the CWF’s recent trip to Nigeria.

I’m uploading pictures from the CWF trip to Nigeria this month. I’m posting all that I can on Flickr and then I’ll go back and add some to the CWF website as well.

Check out the photos…
