Who is "The Wrestling Snob?"

My name is Adam Leavelle, most call me "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 have been 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 had nearly given up on wrestling in the United States ever offering me these things. I thought for certain my wrestling allegiance would remain in Japan only, with companies like Pro Wrestling NOAH, New Japan Pro Wrestling, and World Wonder Ring Stardom. Then a pandemic hit the world in March of 2020 and I had a lot of spare time on my hands. I discovered that there actually were companies that met my criteria! Ring of Honor Wrestling, Major League Wrestling, NWA Power, and New Japan Strong (LA Dojo), were actually "Wrestling Done Right," and from that point on, I was determined to cover, and promote them, as much as possible. That is what the WDR "Links," on the main page, are all about. Thanks for joining me!
