A Pro Wrestling Blog called (Ring the Damn Bell) wrote a story on myself and the Big Upset (Phantom Submission Match). It was written October 14, 2015  saying even they thought this was one of the biggest upsets in pro wrestling.  It was called a MOMENT IN TIME go to menu section to see this story,  This match still remains as one of the biggest mysteries of what happened that night, even tho we heard from one half of the participants in this match, however I have never elaborated of what mighr have really happened that night. They stated that there was confusion by myself, however I was in full charge and knew what I was doing during the entire match.  Ron  10/24/2015
