Hey fans, Rudy here –

I guess it’s been a long time since there’s been a column up at CSWAwrestling.com, I’ve been busy with the hot new show CSWA: ON TIME, which you great fans have turned into a smashing success. But there’s a lot going around the rumor mill as we’re almost at FISH FUND XIII.

Don’t think Dan Ryan is the only GXW guy on the CSWA roster. And, folks, I’m not talking about Mike Plett here. However these guys are getting Merritt to sign them, I don’t know, but I guarantee FISH FUND will bring surprises.

Speaking of acronyms… it’s a battle of the old PLR guys when Eddy Love and Steve Radder are teaming up for the first time since ANNIVERSARY 2000. Again, my sources don’t tell me how these two ended up on a PPV match as tag partners, but those same sources say that these two may NEED to team together for their own survival in the upcoming months… Eddy has to realize someone’s stalking him, and Radder might be the only man who can help him fight his enemies.

Also at FISH FUND, CSWA Heavyweight Champion Evan Aho defends against Mark Windham. Aho has done a tasteful, athletic job of holding the richest prize in our game, but there looks to be more to the story than the eye can see. Hornet’s just too damn friendly. Anybody else remember what happened the last time Windham was wrestling for the title and Hornet showed up? If not, just ask GUNS.

An old CSWA manager plans on making his way back at FISH FUND, and he’s not the only old face that plans on returning. One question can be asked of all these superstars: who will they align themselves with?

Looking up and down the CSWA roster, the injury list is starting to grow, but we have to have the toughest group of wrestlers on the face of the planet… Troy Windham is said to be recovering well ahead of schedule, but he still has to remember to take it one day at a time. Eli Flair is rumored to have some sort of injuries but we aren’t sure what they could be, word is, however, that the former champion will appear at FISH FUND. Shane Southern is continuing to battle through his painful knee injury, and will be involved in the four-way United States title bout at the card, as well. Mike Plett is making every show from now until FISH FUND and beyond, with no rests in “sight”, although his shoulder has been nagging for the past several months. Finally, even a “bionic” back hurts from time to time, and some are saying Hornet may be feeling much worse than he’s letting on. Of course, THAT rumor goes around year-to-year.

All that you can be sure of here in the CSWA is that we will bring you a roller coaster ride at FISH FUND… which superstars are going to deliver the top performances? The answers may surprise you.
