Back in the territory era and prior wrestling was simple and the feuds were clear cut for the most part. As a fan you knew who was the good guy and who was the bad guy and why they had an issue. Even if you didn't at first the television announcer would catch the fans up or the promos the talent did would help fill in the blanks. It didn't matter if it was something simple like good vs evil or something a little more complex like Jimmy Hart turning on Lawler in a promo after Lawler broke his leg. Either way the fans were never left wondering why exactly two wrestlers had been paired together. 

Nowadays we are lucky to get even a highlight package on a weekly program. More often then not weekly programming is changed week to week and it often leaves us wondering why two random wrestlers were put together other than just, because. It is rare to be given much context if any at all, and the fact that there is very little exposition to feuds that doesn't help the talent get more interest from the fans. Meaningless feuds only gives talent television time, but with little character development it doesn't help them move forward or put them in a different of a position then they were in to begin with. In my opinion, it seems like most writers have forgotten that wrestling can be simple if you tell a good story with psychology, but it isn't about psychology or the story anymore it's more about the match and less about the reason for the match. It is an important part of the wrestling puzzle that has fallen by the waste side. 

​As always wrestling gives us both great memories and memories we try and forget, but with the amount of moments worth remembering that have happened we are bound to forget some. The same could be said about some talent that were very much underrated during their career or never at the top of a company during a run this unfortunately makes it easier for fans to forget certain talent. These two are very different talent and had two very different careers while they worked in this great business. Sometimes we encounter those that deserve to be remembered and acknowledged. I would like to wish a very big Happy Birthday to all who are celebrating their special day today and especially to the one featured below.​

Nerd Note: It is rare that a family can stay together in wrestling, but for the most part where Amazing Red went his cousins Los Maximo's were with him at one time or another. Red has spent some time in every major independent company in the US.

Nerd Note: Zandig opened Combat Zone Wrestling in 2001 after operating as a training school for the two prior years. Zandig would then sell the promotion to DJ Hyde in 2009 and DJ still owns CZW to this day.
