Before you all go hating on me, I do want to talk about the International Women's Day. It's a day to celebrate women who have broke barriers and those who are continue what they do. I am going to talk about a few women who are wrestlers who broke barriers themselves.
You know about Mae Young, the first woman to wrestle, but I want to tell you of two women who really broke barriers, LuFisto and Candice LeRae.
First, LuFisto. She is from Canada, but, she done plenty of things that she done. She was the first female wrestling in Combat Zone Wrestling and she had won the now defunct CZW Iron Man Championship. In fact, LuFiso has mostly dominate any match against both man and female. If you think I am crazy, here are some videos I recommend for you to see:
Candice LeRae, a California native, who is currently lives in Florida, with her husband, WWE Superstar, Johnny Gargano, was the first and only woman to wrestle in the promotion, Pro Wrestling Guerrilla. She is mostly seen with her tag team partner and friend, Joey Ryan. They are known as World's Cutest Tag Team. She has gone to Japan and wrestled on DDT Pro with Joey Ryan. I know Candice LeRae had used to accompanying some wrestlers in PWG. Also, Candice did had wrestled in Smash Wrestling and Absolute Intense Wrestling where she wrestled against her husband, Johnny Gargano.
Some video can help:
This is a documentary by Kenny Johnson
Oh here is a video of Candice LeRae and Joey Ryan in tag team action:
There are some other women who I follow on twitter and Instagram that you should see how they wrestle.
Jessicka Havok:
Santana Garrett:
Mia Yim:
I forgot to mention there are some other women in the videos like Veda Scott and Jordynne Grace. If you like to see more, feel free to search on YouTube.

Family drama and wrestling is not good for me after this past weekend.
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving, surviving Black Friday, support Small Business Saturday, a good Sunday, and you are looking for something online today, because it is Cyber Monday. But, for me, I am not pleased. I will start from Thanksgiving afternoon.
I know that I want to see the results from IWA Mid-South via twitter, that involves with Chris Hero in a match against "Big" Russ Jones. But, I had to deal with family on Thanksgiving afternoon with furiously two drunk parents and embarrassing brother. Sure drinking two strong "Perfect" manhattans, which I called them hard manhattans, make my parents drunk. Usually my mother won't drink the hard kind. She's more sweet manhattans or the usual rum and coke. But, not thanksgiving. Besides that during dinner, my parents ask my brother some uncomfortable stuff like about his lover, Rita, which my brother hesitates and my parents were believing it was over, but, I don't think that's what he's saying. Of course my parents dream that my brother wants to be on his own. But, I feel he's not, because of what he is doing now.
After dinner, I finally get some stuff doing and tell my friend Valentyna about Thanksgiving and I focus on IWA Mid-South on twitter. I seen tweets and saw some pictures to know that Chris is wrestling against "Big" Russ Jones and win. It was good. I was glad he won.
Friday was normal for me and no I did not go to Black Friday, because I did not want to get my ass kicked or be arrested for kicking people. Had my usual meal of sushi and more for dinner and got home to track results from AIW Hell on Earth 11 via twitter (Courtesy of Pat Lucey), but besides seeing Candice LeRae kicking ass, Chris Hero, deck in Cleveland stuff, including the ring gear he wore from Pro Wrestling NOAH Global League against Harry Smith (Aka Davey Boy Smith Jr), taking on Tim Donst in his usual ring gear. From what I could tell, the match was great and once again, Tim Donst beat Chris Hero, but, make his former trainer to tap out! Yikes! Yours truly had to put her two cents in. As per usual, Tim Donst like it.
Saturday was really started to be odd for me. I was waking up and should gone downstairs to see if my mother was home, but, I didn't. I was on my laptop doing some random stuff when my idiot father called and left a message telling me that I should not be worried since my mother and my brother are at the hospital. To my mind I was thinking, Oh not again! Mom must fall down and she hurt her knee and they need surgery! But, that was not the case. My father, who was instructed by my mother to not to call me, said that my brother is getting checked out, which that made me worried and because of that, I burst into tears crying. I did not wanted to relive my childhood days of my brother being at a hospital for days to months on end. I was so upset, I was so took out my frustrations out on my family, then went on a walk to calm me down, before my mother got home and told me the whole truth. She told me that since 5 in the morning, she has been taking care of my brother, due to the fact that he could not breath due to the high blood pressure. So, because of it the doctors want to keep him over the night. So, I understand. She went to get me food and went back to my brother.
While that was happening and me catching up to my shows, I went to see how the show, AAW was going on. It seems that everyone was there, including Chris Hero, who got the chance to wrestle against Pentagon Jr. The match happened around 11pm, which my mother was home from the hospital and gone to bed. I was in shock to see that Chris face painted himself to I guess to psych out Pentagon Jr, which he did. Chris did defeat him, but, after the match, Pentagon Jr went heel and attack Chris, before Fenix saved him by going after Pentagon Jr. Someone tweeted on twitter that Fenix did to dives or something. Also was more crazy that Saturday night was the return of the "Death Machine" Sami Callihan who attacked Eddie Kingston after Eddie wins back the AAW Championship from Ethan Page.
By the way, here is a photo of Chris really close up with the facepaint:
As for Tim Donst, I don't know if he wrestled at Lancaster Championship Wrestling, but, this happened:
Please don't blame him for his spelling. He took too many bumps to the head and I am glad that he could do that.
Yesterday was kinda calm, except for avoiding my idiot father. Although, Tim Donst was tweeting about his act of doing a song from a movie, which he wanted to use roses for props, but, then I should know that he was going to strip, which it made me realized, that he was being nuts. I should say that Tim was doing a burlesque show that was presented by his buddy, THE NECROSEXUAL! Unlike Chris Hero, who was nuts Saturday, I could not decided who was more crazier. Speaking about Chris Hero, he got his ass kicked by Donovan Dijak, that 6' 7" wrestler from Ring of Honor and like my tweets every time I see him on ROH, at Beyond Wrestling Tournament 4 Tomorrow Night 2. Although, someone made a vine of Donovan Dijak cursing at Chris Hero, while flapjacking on Chris. To me, I am sorta in shock of hearing Donovan Dijak cursing, because I never heard him cursing, because I never seen a promo of him. Maybe, I should look.
Anyway, today, I don't know if my brother is coming home from the hospital. I wish I have answers. But, I miss my young brother.
I will be getting the four shows that Chris wrestled on, within the coming days.
Until then,
Lindsie Starr

DON'T YOU DARE! A really angry wrestling blog entry!
As I was on twitter looking for pictures of Chris Hero at Pro Wrestling Guerrilla show, Battle of Los Angeles Night Three, which he made is way to the finals of the tournament, I came across this tweet:
I knew I am tick off. This twitter user is nothing more then a sad sick woman who should loose her twitter account. She took a picture of the back of Chris' trunks which it's the name of his tag team with JT Dunn at Beyond Wrestling and decided to turn it into a joke. If you think she is a wrestling fan, think again. She also send this tweet out too:
For a woman who is married to a man who loves wrestling, should be nice and make her husband happy, not bitching about wrestling nerds and making fun of a man who is healthy. Believe me, I listen to some podcasts of Chris and I almost really lost it when he said that he ended up at his lowest at 213lbs, which he was under contract with WWE. I seen on news about people make fun of people. It's really ugly, because it is bullying. Believe me when I see bullying and I always says, Bullying is Ugly. Why? It's because making fun of people on social media is bullying, which it's ugly. It is really so awful.
For those who are wondering, I reported and block that user. If I was you, I do the same. It won't be worth to get into a twitter fight against an awful person. If you agree with her, but like my blog entries, what's wrong with you?

Ps. The first part of my title, DON'T YOU DARE, is a quote from Tim Donst at Chikara, which he says to Jakob Hammermeier about the Chikara Young Lions Cup and Hallowicked.
Tuesday, June 23, 2015
Tim Donst: The man, the wrestler, and cat owner...
Well, I want to tell a subject and I am...
I guess I could be in trouble with Nick Gage, but until he beats the 27 year old at Absolute Intense Wrestling Absolution X, he's not the man. Tim Donst is.
I guess I could be in trouble with Nick Gage, but until he beats the 27 year old at Absolute Intense Wrestling Absolution X, he's not the man. Tim Donst is.
You are wondering, Who is Tim Donst?
Mike Hopes also known as Tim Donst, is a 27 year old pro wrestler who is currently wrestling for Absolute Intense Wrestling and will be in Combat Zone Wrestling on July 11th. He used to wrestle for Chikara Pro in 2007 until June of 2013, which it was his last match was against ring announcer Gavin Loudspeaker (Also known as Louden Noxious of Kaiju Big Battel), which Donst lost. Donst has been trained by Mike Quackenbush, Chris Hero, and Skyada. He started his training in 2004 until he debut in Chikara in 2007.
Tim had been in stables like the Order of the Neo-Solar Temple (UltraMantis Black's stable) and Bruderschaft des Kreuzes (Originally formed by Ares, now under the leadership of Jakob Hammermeier) during his time in Chikara. He team up with Hydra while part of the Order of the Neo-Solar Temple and after they both left the stable (They used the name Order of the Neo-Solar Temple when they team up and wrestled against tag teams like Dr. Cube's Posse from Kaiju Big Battel and then they known as the SeaDonsters after they left), because in the storyline, Tim was acting in front of UltraMantis Black in order to get details for Mike Quackenbush. One of the promos I saw on YouTube that Tim Donst was trying to figure out what UltraMantis Black wanted, which, Hydra tries to tell Tim, UltraMantis Black wanted the Eye of Tyr, a talisman that controlled wrestlers.
When Tim went heel in Chikara, he had to get rid of Hydra and then he was back in the Order of the Neo-Solar Temple as Vökoder, a mask man, who no one know who he was, until the November 22nd, 2009 Chikara show (It was the season 8 Chikara Finale entitled, Three-Fisted Tales), which Tim revealed himself as Vökoder (There was a second Vökoder, but that one was never been unmasked, but it was revealed to be the late Larry Sweeney), after he, Ares, Tursas, Pinkie Sanchez (Who returned to BDK sometime last year), Claudio Castagnoli, Sara Del Ray, and Daizee Haze, attack the face wrestlers. Tim ended up becoming the Young Lions Cup holder after beating Player Uno of the Super Smash Brothers in early of 2010. After Ares was out of Bruderschaft des Kreuzes and Claudio was signed to WWE after 2011, Tim was in charge, but, with Jakob Hammermeier, Steve "The Turtle" Weiner, and Veronica Ticklefeather, but, it was referred to as The Nest of Donst, but, when I tweeted to Tim Donst, almost two years ago about his PWI rank, well, I let you see his response (Click here)
Tim got more serious in 2012 in Chikara and refueled a feud against Eddie Kingston and Hallowicked (Pre-Eye of Tyr usage). Tim also won the Torneo Cibernetico in 2012. Also Tim was interviewed and made very uncomfortable to Leonard F. Chikarason. But, in 2013, up to Chikara last show before their hiatus, Tim had a rivially against Gavin Loudspeaker which led a match at Chikara final show of 2013, Aniversario: Never Compromise, which it was a hair vs. hair match. Gavin prevaled to defeat Tim, after Tim was betrayed by Jakob. That match was Tim's last match in Chikara. Tim was seen in Chikara's movie, The Ashes of Chikara, which they done it in video clips before the movie. In Tim's scene, he was working at a furniture store, when Icarus went to see him and tried to convince him to rally to get Chikara to return, but, Tim refused. That was Tim's final appearance in the promotion. Tim tweeted days later that he was no longer would be in Chikara.
Well, that was the Chikara story of Tim's career, now, I tell you about Tim in Absolute Intense Wrestling.
Tim debut in Absolute Intense Wrestling in 2011 and got into matches and feuds, including trying to get a title shot against then Absolute Champion. Johnny Gargano, going up against a stable called NIXON, still feud against Eddie Kingston, and also got into many matches, mostly against Michael Hutter (Also known in TNA Wrestling as Ethan Carter) at Absolution 8 (June 2013) and Hell on Earth 9 (November 2013), Chris Hero at Dead Presidents (December 2013) which I see that match as a downloaded video (I watch it in January 2014) and Tim really got sick that night, Danny Havoc at TGIF (February 2014), Eddie Kingston at Gauntlet for the Gold 9 (March 2014), Alex Shelly at Nothing But A "G" Thang (April 2014), Michael Elgin at Absolution 9 (June 2014), and Josh Alexander at Failure by Design (August 2014).
Tim also capture the Absolution two times, first one in July 2012 against Eric Ryan, Johnny Gargano, and Zema Ion (It was spelled differently according to the AIW website), and Tim's second came at WrestleRager Night 3 (September 2014) as he beat Josh Alexander for the vacated Absolute Title that Michael Elgin vacated the title for a rumor reason was that he was denied back to the United States. Tim also had defended the Absolute Title (second reign) outside of AIW in October 2014 against Matt Tremont and Nokken (He is a pseudo version of Tursas, but no beard and he can really talk and is Jakob Hammerier's right hand man). Tim defended the Absolute Title against Rickey Shane Page, Tyson Dux, and Josh Alexander at Hell on Earth 10 (November 2010) and Crimson at Charge it to the Underhills (December 2014) as a DQ due to Crimson's cohorts, BJ Whitmer and Jimmy Jacobs attacking Donst, which Russ Myers and T-Money came to save Tim and turn it into an impromptu six man tag match between The Forgotten (Crimson, Whitmer, and Jacobs) vs. The Jollyville Fuck-Its (Myers and T-Money) and Tim Donst, which Donst and the boys of Jollyville defeated the Forgotten after a combination of maneuvers by the men on Crimson.
But, Tim ended up relinquish the Absolute title in February of 2015 as fans learned why he rushed to the hospital on February 13th, 2015 and was there for five days, plus seeking a second opinion. It was revealed at I Choo-Choo-Choose You, Tim was diagnosed having a tumor on his right kidney. I was in shock and I cried about it. Not only that was told, but, also, wrestlers came to give their support to Tim including Mick Foley, Tommy Dreamer, Kevin Steen (Also known as Kevin Owens in WWE), and Ryan Drago (Also known as Simon Gotch in WWE).
It was revealed on an article done by Pocono Record (A local newspaper) on their website that not only it shown his real name, but, when Tim was schedule to have surgery after a charity variety show that donations go to Children's Cancer Association, with his friend, Jimmy Viola. Tim had surgery and it was successful. It was revealed on another website called Newsworks (A website own by WHYY a local Public Broadcast System Network) which the reporter Maiken Scott for The Pulse (A radio show for WHYY) revealed that Mike Hopes does not need further treatment as the tumor only confide to his kidney. I was glad to hear it. But, it was no word on the return of Stroudsburg's favorite son to wrestling, until it was revealed at the AIW JT Lighting Tournament Night Two last month, after being rudely interrupted by Nick Gage, that Tim Donst is returning to wrestling at AIW Absolution Ten next month.
Even though Tim wrestled at AIW, he wrestled a few WWNLive shows (And I wish to see more of him mostly at Evolve) last year as well as Ring of Honor's Future of Honor show. I know fans are also wanted to see Tim in Pro Wrestling Guerrilla too. But, for now, Tim is also scheduling the next night after AIW Absolution Ten, Tim will be debuting at Combat Zone Wrestling New Heights against CZW Wired Champion, Joe Gacy, which it was planned to take place at CZW Sixteen, but, since Tim having a tumor on his right kidney was going on, the match was on hold, but at CZW Tournament of Death 14, it was revealed by both men that they will go at it at CZW New Heights.
I told you about Tim Donst as the wrestler and the man, but, I did put in my title, cat owner. Yes, besides Tim being nice to his fans, wrestling his opponents, Tim is a cat owner. His cat, Hallowiskers, is a female Calico cat. He named her after his opponent, Hallowicked. I am guessing Tim got Hallowiskers during his feud against Hallowicked in 2012 and she got big when he took a picture of her and post it on Instagram. In fact, Tim has a tee of himself and Hallowiskers on ProWrestlingtees.com.
So, that's it. You can follow Tim Donst on twitter @tdonst. Also check out AIW on twitter for Absolution Ten at @AIWrestling and CZW for New Heights at @CombatZone. Also, want to buy tees of Tim Donst? Go to ProWrestlingtees to see his tees and others! Also, you can ask Tim anything on July 6th on Reddit. Details: (Click here)

Only time will tell that he will be okay.
I was talking a friend about some twitter situation, when I notice Tim Donst's blog that he posted over an half hour ago. In it I read about it and I notice that he is accepting the bad situation if the tumor become cancerous and spread. But, I want Tim's condition come out on positive side and I know that he will be okay and go back to the one thing he loves, pro wrestling. I don't want to see things negative. I already went through so much in my childhood when my brother was ill.
What I mean by is this, it was over two decades ago, I was just 8 years old and I was getting ready for school, when my brother, just 7 years old, has got sick. I wanted to stay with my brother, but my parents were really angry at me and wanted me to get to go to school. So, I did. I was really mad, but, at the time, I wanted to stay home, just to be with my brother, but, I think now that I should stay home then, in case I was sick too. When I was at school, my brother was at the doctor's office with our mother and when the doctor saw my brother, the doctor told my mother to take my brother to the hospital. I learned when I got home that he had Leukemia, a cancer that affects the blood cells. For the next five years, I watched my brother battle this. On some days I would visit him after school or weekends when he go in, other times, my brother is at school. Still, it was really hard to see my brother losing his blonde hair and eyebrows were nuts, because of the radiation, but, I tried to turn it into a joke by calling him baldy, because of a commercial I saw of a teen boy ate a Popsicle Rainbow pop and his hair was like the ice pop and by the time the teen boy finish it, the talking dog said, "Hey Baldy! Baldy!" because the teen boy was bald. I thought it would make my brother laugh, but instead, he did not get it. I was not teasing him. Although, I should dress as that dog and really done that.
When my brother got really better about 1998, I was really glad. Because of that, we had a puppy and my brother finished elementary school. Today, it would be almost four years, since our dog died, but, my brother is taking classes at community college and being a pain.
But, now I am watching someone who I really like. Tim Donst, a pro wrestler, who follow me on twitter (and I follow him back) since August of 2013. I did not know much about Tim at that time, but, I end up do my research on him by looking through on YouTube. I found his promos and I get to hear him talk and I also find some of his matches too. Before long, I started to like Tim Donst. Because of that, I also learn stuff on him. I know that Tim was trained by Chris Hero, Mike Quackenbush, and Jorge "Skyada" Rivera. I know that Tim did wrestle against Quackenbush in Chikara Pro, but, Quack beat him around 2009. I knew Tim wrestled against Chris at Absolute Intense Wrestling Dead Presidents, because at Hell on Earth Nine, after defeating Michael Hutter (or you can call him, Ethan Carter), Tim got on the mic and announced that he will be wrestling against Chris at Dead Presidents. Even though the day of the show, Tim got sick and ran a fever of a 105, but, still he went to perform that night. I heard that Tim beat Chris that night and it was really great. I end up seeing it in January 2014 by downloading it after buying it from Smart Mark Video. I saw those two really tore down the house. I see how much those two went at it and I was proud of both of them. After the match, Chris cut a promo and he was really surprised how far Tim came. Chris did said a lot of things, but he was amazed how Tim became, since their days at the Wrestle Factory.
After Chris talk, the two embraced with a hug and Chris telling Tim to get better. I knew that I see the best match in both of their careers. In September of 2014, Tim got a huge chance to win the Absolute Intense Wrestling Absolute title against then champion, Michael Elgin and a third wrestler, Josh Alexander at AIW WrestleRager, night one. Sadly both Tim and Josh could not get the win. However, luck would change as a good thing would happen again at night three of WrestleRager as both men would get their rematch, but it turn out sorta bad for Michael Elgin, when he was denied entry back to the United States, so the main event turn into a singles match for the vacated Absolute title. In an effort to claim the title for the second time, Tim Donst beat Josh Alexander for the Absolute title. I was really happy for him. I read tweets that Tim defend the Absolute title, but one title defense that Tim was suppose to happen is what is really going on now. You see if Tim did not had the tumor, he would had wrestled against Rickey Shane Page for the Absolute title and I would really love to see how that went. But, that did not happen, because of the tumor in his kidney and he had no other choice but to relinquish the Absolute title. Even though the title is now in the hands of Josh Alexander, maybe one day when Tim gets better, those two wrestle again at any AIW show, without Veda Scott in Josh Alexander's corner.

Tim Donst has a tumor
Hey everyone!
I just found out hours ago, that my favorite wrestler of all time, Tim Donst, has a tumor on his right kidney.
Here is his tweet:
The reason why that I do care for him is that he is the most sweetest man that I got to know since August 2013 on twitter and I was hoping to go see him at Combat Zone Wrestling's Best of the Best 14, but, that's out of the question, now.
How did this happened to one of the best of Chris Hero's students? Well, it just started to happened back a week ago. Tim was rushed to the hospital and he never commented about why, but, I had to learn that he was in the hospital over the weekend. While everyone was doing something romantic or bitch that they don't have a date on Valentine's Day, I was really concerned and waited to hear from Tim Donst. Tim was in the hospital for five days and he may go back again (soon) to the hospital to have the tumor removed in his right kidney. I hope for everyone's sake, this is not cancerous. While taken this news so seriously and I maybe upset and hide it from my mother, I was really moved into tears when WWE Hall of Famer, Mick Foley, tweeted to the young Hardcore buff:
I am hoping that by all means necessary that both Chris Hero and Claudio Castagnoli (Cesaro to you WWE sheeple) would tweet to Tim, because Chris trained Tim and had their match in December of 2013 at AIW Dead Presidents and Claudio who team with him and always work together as part of the stable Bruderschaft des Kreuzes in Chikara Pro during November 2009 until Claudio signed with WWE in sometime 2011. After all, they are Kings of Wrestling.
I also want to say this in a way to make it as a note:
Dear Tim,
You are a very sweet man and I know I haven't much tweet to you like I did the last many times over last year and the year before. I did got wrapped in too much of my tv shows, but, I am going to be doing something that I am really going to do is to think about you and pray for you to return to wrestling, so I can watch you and meet you. You are a true gentleman and I really love the way you are. Sure people who don't know you are a complete moron because they never understood you as a wrestler, but me, I do understand that you are doing what you love best and I respect that. I know it's not a phase, but, a passion that you are doing. I am glad to get to know you on twitter. I think I should do chatting with you on Facebook, but, I am really shy.
Love,
Lindsie
Okay, I am kinda cheesy, but, that's me!

Hardest day of my entire life. A tumor in my right kidney will see me out of action for the foreseeable future. Thank you all

I am hoping that by all means necessary that both Chris Hero and Claudio Castagnoli (Cesaro to you WWE sheeple) would tweet to Tim, because Chris trained Tim and had their match in December of 2013 at AIW Dead Presidents and Claudio who team with him and always work together as part of the stable Bruderschaft des Kreuzes in Chikara Pro during November 2009 until Claudio signed with WWE in sometime 2011. After all, they are Kings of Wrestling.
I also want to say this in a way to make it as a note:
Dear Tim,
You are a very sweet man and I know I haven't much tweet to you like I did the last many times over last year and the year before. I did got wrapped in too much of my tv shows, but, I am going to be doing something that I am really going to do is to think about you and pray for you to return to wrestling, so I can watch you and meet you. You are a true gentleman and I really love the way you are. Sure people who don't know you are a complete moron because they never understood you as a wrestler, but me, I do understand that you are doing what you love best and I respect that. I know it's not a phase, but, a passion that you are doing. I am glad to get to know you on twitter. I think I should do chatting with you on Facebook, but, I am really shy.
Love,
Lindsie
Okay, I am kinda cheesy, but, that's me!
I hope you like my entry...

Who is Tim Donst?
This is a blog that I am going to be talking about, Tim Donst.
You all are wondering, who is he?
He's a wrestler who has been going at it for almost eight years. He had been most frequently in Chikara Pro, but, now he's a mainstay at Absolute Intense Wrestling and is currently the Absolute Champion (It's their World title). He has been in Evolve, Dragon Gate USA, Premiere Wrestling Experience, Ring of Honor, Full Impact Pro, Vicious Outcast Wrestling, and will be wrestling in Combat Zone Wrestling Best of the Best 14 in April. He had wrestle in Japan like almost five years ago in Osaka Pro.
I know he has wrestling many wrestlers like Eddie Kingston, Johnny Gargano, and he had also wrestle against his trainers, Mike Quackenbush (A 20+ year wrestler who is retired, but runs his promotion, Chikara Pro and has the role as Director of F.U.N in Chikara Pro) and Chris Hero (A 16 year wrestler who has travel in Japan, Europe, Germany, UK, Canada, and the USA). Tim also have been in a stable called the Bruderschaft des Kreuzes in Chikara Pro that was formed by Ares on November 29th, 2009, but he took the leadership sometime in late 2011 after Ares was thrown out and Claudio Castagnoli left Chikara to go to WWE.
Tim had team up with Hydra, Lince Dorado, Pinkie Sanchez, Claudio Castagnoli, Tursas, Jakob Hammermeier, and Gran Akuma (Only for the FIP show against The Juicy Product).
Tim has his website Donst.com, he is on twitter at @TDonst, he is on Facebook, and he has his own tees.
I also have a video list of him that I am growing from YouTube:
That is all of what I know...
Okay, we are friends on Facebook and follow each other on twitter. ^_^

Justin Gabriel quits WWE-Independent Pro Wrestling welcomes him with open arms
About more than a few hours ago, Paul Lloyd, formerly known as Justin Gabriel quitted WWE. There are reports swirling that it was more than a few days ago. I am not sure, but, because of this, a lot of independent promoters are going to take this chance to book to his name he made famous in South Africa, PJ Black. For those who are wondering why this name? Well, PJ is short for Paul Junior, since he was named after his father, the late Paul Lloyd Senior, who wrestled as the Pink Panther in most of his career before he pass away in 1999 in South Africa. I don't know where Paul got the last name is beyond me (You have to ask him yourself if you follow him).
I have got word that Pro Wrestling Syndicate has book him for the end of this month. I am hoping that others would book him, including Pro Wrestling Guerrilla, Absolute Intense Wrestling, Evolve Wrestling, Combat Zone Wrestling, AAW Pro, and maybe Beyond Wrestling.
There are many videos of PJ Black out there from his days in South Africa on YouTube. Mostly he has been accompanied by his valet and he has been in tag team matches too. There is one of him in an eight man tag against Ares, who has been trained by Chris Hero.
If you are going to be asking me who I want PJ Black wrestling in who can book him, I hope he can wrestle against Tim Donst, Chris Hero, Ethan Page, Joey Ryan, Brian Myers, Drew Galloway, Eddie Kingston, Johnny Gargano, Matt Sydal, Jesus De Leon, Chuck Taylor, Drew Gulak, JT Dunn, and David Starr (NO RELATIONS TO ME!).
I think that's a list I can say.
Welcome PJ Black to the world of Independent Wrestling and thank you for bringing your fans too. This is one ride you don't want to miss.
Note: STAY AWAY FROM AUSTIN ARIES AND/OR HIS SEMINARS! If you want to learn about the roads of the United States ask Chris Hero! ^_^
