This year had truly been a roller coaster ride. We have seen the re-establishment and demise of EWE, the tragic loss of Jeremy Wood an Announcer for the ASWF and SWA located in Tuckerman and Newport, AR, and who could forget the storm that brewed from Downtown Bruno’s rant on EPW. (Just kidding with you Bruno…lol)
Yes this year has been one of tragedy and celebration. Who could forget the shocking news of two Mid-South Indy wrestlers getting signed by the WWE and sent to FCW, with Dustin Starr being released approximately a month ago. This is the last column for The T-Bone Effect for the year 2010 and more will be in store for the year 2011.
This young man I am inducting this week is a professional and someone good in and out of the ring. Here is a brief history about this talented young athlete.
Jon Alan started training under Dustin Starr and Alan Steele in 2006 he trained under Starr and Steele for 3 months with Matt Boyce and the Jamaican Kid in Ward, AR until company suddenly folded. A few years later he had lost contact with Starr and Steele and periodically been competing in and out the ring with different independent shows basically still being "green" in the business because lack of training. Finally in the middle of 2008 Alan would find his way Jonesboro where he would meet up with Rodney Mack and Jazz at the defunct RWA (Owned by Frank Martin).
They would re-train Alan from scrap and taught him ring psychology, which he had not learned yet. Alan would begin to learn a lot from the RWA Training Facility with Rodney Mach and begin to polish his skills. From then to the present day Alan works all around Arkansas in the ring even in Atlanta GA. Alan currently wrestles for "Nightmare" Ken Wayne (NEW) and Rodney Mack (DCW) and is always seeking for improvement for himself and the wonderful people he works with. But Alan says he really owes Starr and Steele the gratitude for taking the time out to break him in and teach him the basics, had it not been for them he says he wouldn't have been wrestling.
For the time and work that he put in to sharpen his skills and make himself a better wrestler, Jon Alan has earned his place on the Unsigned Wall of Greatness.
See you next year!
