It all started about 3 years ago when I designed my first webpage. Using previous computer course material (and a helluva lotta ripped-off stuff) I put together a pretty good page on Geocities. That was back in the 3-Meg day of Geocities, and after a while I got sick of unoriginal material and stupid pop-up windows, so I began searching for a new home. It took a while, but I found what looked to be a keeper in FreeServers. I got my own domain name, one banner at the top, 20 megs o' space, and a buncha other stuff. I thought I was set, but FreeServers was having really annoying server problems and to this day they have not been fixed. So I packed up and moved to FortuneCity, which I wasn't sure about because it gave me the same impression as GeoCities, a long domain name and pop-ups galore. However this was not the case. FortuneCity gave me a great name with undertaker in it, and there was only one banner and no pop-ups. Which brings me to the present. Now, how did I begin Endbringer's Thoughts? That takes me back to before I even had a webpage.

I was a wrestling fan at just the right time, back in the day when Falcon was at DragonFire and Scoops were on NYMStudios, and all other websites were few but great, not these newsboard frontpage pieces of garbage. Ruiz was at WrestleSource, and I had been following him through his numerous server changes. Around the same time I grew bored with my newly-created page, and deleted my useless rumors page and began my column, Endbringer's Thoughts. (I just kept the name, couldn't think of anything more clever) My first was pro-WWF and anti-WCW (some things never change :o)) and I began to think that this could go far. All I needed was some publicity. So I emailed the top wrestling sites at the time, Ruiz's being one of them. I got no replies, except one day when HBRuiz did. I was in shock: this was my chance to work with one of the greats. And so I began writing my column for him. Unfortunately he changed servers a few times, and we lost track of each other. Finally when Wrestle-X left, I thought he was gone for good. I began sending out more applications, but only a few mediocre sites wanted my column, and it would have made my image worse. Then a few months later, by pure accident I found Ruiz on stone-cold.com. I thought it was an old link, but it was his current page. I emailed him right on the spot, and soon after my column was back at full force. Never have I been so happy to be involved in a wrestling webpage: the WWF is kicking ass, my column is on one of the best and most reliable sites out there, and my page itself has never looked better (thanks for that Ruiz). I hope to be still writing this column and making my webpage even better as we hit the new millenium.

Before I go, I'd like to thank a few people. First and foremost Ruiz for giving me this opportunity, and any other webmaster who saw potential in my column/webpage. I'd also like to thank my father and anyone else who helped me with my computer and journalist studies. And of course I wish to thank all you wrestling fans out there (and any of my fans who have kept me going) for making wrestling what it is today, and for showing respect to the good webmasters across the net.

OK, next issue I'm back to the ranting, and it will explain how nobody, and I mean nobody, but me knows who is really getting screwed in the WWF. And it's not who you think. If you know me at all, you know who I mean.

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Rest in peace,

The Endbringer
