I have been a fan of professional wrestling since 1998. Oh my Gosh that’s only like ten years. Here I’ll blow your mind some more; I didn’t watch any wrestling from like 2002-2005. I am not a human wrestling encyclopedia, that’s what the Internet is for. To all you smarks out there, I haven’t the slightest clue who wrestled in the dark match at WWF Mind Games. My point is simple; I am not an expert in the history of this sport. I enjoy professional wrestling and am very passionate about the product but I do not claim to be the all-knowing expert. Luckily there is a solution for this problem and his name is Eric. Make sure to address your hate mail to him because I have given a disclaimer. I grew up being vaguely familiar with professional wrestling. I clearly remember watching the WWF on a Saturday morning as a child at my grandmother’s house. A segment aired in which Papa Shango put a hex on somebody causing convulsions and a graphic medical intervention. This scared the ever-living hell out of me and kept me away from the WWF for many years. I got into wrestling when the bandwagon was really rolling in 1997-1998. Goldberg and the mainstream publicity WCW was getting with their Rodman/Malone angle drew me in. After begging my parents, I ordered my first PPV, Bash at the Beach 1998 and watched it with my friends. I thought I was big time because I taped the program and rewatched the event several times during the next week. From there on I was hooked. I stuck with the WCW until the bitter end and will forever on mark out for anything WCW. Okay maybe not anything…cough cough…Vince Russo and David Arquette as champions. The death of WCW was a tough time; I watched with dismay through the poorly booked “InVasion” and took a three-year sabbatical from wrestling shortly thereafter. I’d catch an episode of Raw or Smackdown from time to time but really ignored most of it. Then one April evening in 2005, I was flipping through the channels before dinner. I caught the tail-end of the Wrestlemania pre-show and saw a promo for the inaugral Money in the Bank match. I called my friend Rob, and said, ”dude we have to go watch Wrestlemania.” Having been removed from the product for so long it took awhile to find a place to view the event. Of course we arrived after the Money in the Bank match but I reconnected with the sport that night. I witnessed the dawn of a new era, as John Cena and Batista captured the straps. The beauty of reconnecting in 2005 was that I had real money and a car, something I lacked during my fandom as a child. I was able to buy tickets to events and purchase a small library of DVDs. In 2006, I fulfilled the dream of every wrestling fan and attended Wrestlemania 23 in Detroit. So here we are, 2008 and I am starting a wrestling talk-show with my boy Eric. What a beautiful story.

Name:Eric Hall

Age:25

Hometown:Louisville, KY

Eric Hall was a trainer on Ohio Valley Wrestling television from 2003-2006. He brings several years of experience in “the business” to the show. The self proclaimed and rightfully so “expert” offers a unique perspective and a wealth of information.

“ I was a trainer at UofL and at Freedom Hall during a Smackdown taping. I went back and asked Larry the Smackdown trainer if there was anything I could do. He invited me to stay for the show. I got to talking to Rob Conway who was there to work an OVW match and he mentioned they needed someone to be a trainer for television and the next week I went by the arena and talked to (Robert) Briscoe who talked to Jimmy (Cornette) and the rest as they say is history.”

How did your experience in OVW give you knowledge about the business?

“Being around the business for three years it just happens. And Jerry Lawler. And
Ric Flair. And Kenny Bolin, And Paul Heyman, And Rip Rogers. And Arn
Anderson. And Danny Davis. And Al Snow. And Lance Storm. ”

What was the greatest moment of your time at OVW?

“I’d say the number one highlight of all is meeting some of the people that I call
my friends and will be my friends for a long time”

THE greatest in-ring highlight was working with Ric Flair. ”One of the few
times i was too intimidated to say much. Basically just introduced myself and
talked about working for Jimmy.” Other moments include “being in the ring
with Lawler, working with HHH and Michaels, and assisting Dave Batista”

What is the greatest strength you bring to MARKOUT?

“A culmination of some of the greatest minds in the business all rolled into
one as long as my youngtimers doesn’t kick in”

And don't tell anyone but he marks out for Kane's pecs.
