Who Is "The Wrestling Snob," & What Did He Learn Along The Way?

My name is Adam Leavelle, for years I was known as "The Wrestling Snob." I worked for many years on the indie scene as a commentator, and back stage interviewer, for companies such as  Legacy Wrestling, Ultimate Wrestling Experience, Pro Wrestling Empire, Lancaster Championship Wrestling, Atomic Championship Wrestling, Rouge Women Warriors, & MCW Pro Wrestling.  I wrote for numerous wrestling websites such as 411 Wrestling, Wrestling Inc. Pro Wrestling Ponderings, and Pro Wrestling Mania. I grew up loving Jim Crockett Promotions, Mid South Wrestling, World Class Wrestling, and The UWF. While I watched some WWF/E in my day, it's never been my style, or preference. Once WWE pretty much "took over" professional wrestling in America,  I went searching for an American wrestling company that I could label "Wrestling Done Right." Along the way I have made many friends in the wrestling business, and angered just as many, if not more, due to my particular tastes, and willingness to share those tastes publicly. Those tastes include a desire for good, intelligent, story lines, the desire to see good guys (faces) and bad guys (heels), the desire to see the selling of the moves being used in matches, and the desire for absolutely no out right embarrassing comedy spots, or wrestlers, that make you want to deny being a professional wrestling fan. I could only find this in America with Major League Wrestling and in Japan with Pro Wrestling Noah! As I clung to only two promotions, MLW fell to the wayside with their ridiculous addition of Micro Man in 2022. While I still very much enjoy Pro Wrestling Noah, I found myself feeling lonely, with so few American fans willing to subscribe to Wrestle Universe in order to completely follow Noah. I then made the decision to try and embrace the alternative to WWE, and that was All Elite Wrestling, AEW.  This didn't last long. While I enjoy some matches in AEW, it has too much silliness, and it often felt aimless. At my lowest point, it happened! Vince McMahon was ran out of WWE and Triple H took over. Since WrestleMania 40 the WWE seemed to have become a completely different company, and I found myself enjoying it. That changed on Friday, August, 16, 2024 when Triple H showed me that he is as willing to spit on pro wrestling as McMahon was, when he gave us a horrible segment "celebrating" Nia Jax's title win, on Friday Night Smackdown. I had been duped, fooled, tricked, and feel like a fool ever believing that the WWE would do "wrestling right." The companies I recommend today are Pro Wrestling Noah, New Japan Pro Wrestling, Stardom, and All Japan. I have given up hope that we will ever have a truly great American Wrestling Company ever again.If you want to hear why I feel that way, click on the link below.

Thank you all!
