    OVW

    Saturday, March 7, 2009, 08:37 PM EST [General]

     

    I am the sponsor of OVW, it is true. Danny Davis is my good friend and I hate to see anyone lose their dream. Danny has mortgaged his home to make this work; I mortgaged my home for Layfield Energy. I understand passion, I understand love.  I believe in the American spirit, I believe that if you want to achieve, you can.

    My company is doing well, and I can promise you I don't take one account or one customer for granted. I am going to sponsor what Danny is doing. It will be much more than just wrestling. Trust me; we are going to do some really cool things. This will unfold in the next few months, I have big plans for what we are doing.

    But for now, I am funding all of OVW, because I believe in what they are doing. One day I will tell all, but for now, I will say that I am doing what is right.

     I started in places like OVW; these places have to be protected. These places are sacred, and I don't do this for nostalgia, I do it as a business decision. This is not just my BS plan to give back; I have a plan-believe me.

    By the way, can I tell you-Wrestlemania, I am doing something historic. Write this down, put it in stone; I am doing something that will shock the world of wrestling. I am doing something that will change the WWE forever. Mark my words.

    THEE Danny Davis, I haven't heard his name in 20 years. I haven't heard too many great tales in regards to Ovw. It would be nice to see it receive some justice. I hope Ovw doesn't discouracge what is unique about a talent just because that "Talent" be a little different compared to the status quo these days. JBL, I appreciate what you do.

    I think a lot of people in the so called Internet Wrestling Community have a vendetta against you Mr Layfield and i think that's a real shame because from where i stand you are one of the most passionate and dedicated individuals to this business that I've ever seen.



    Not many people would pour their own money into a company such as OVW when their own position within WWE is (I'm sure) secure and when OVW like so many wrestling companies will be hard pressed to turn a healthy profit, certainly in these turbulent economic times. Though if anybody can, I'm sure you can.



    Giving back to the business that created you has always been a time honored tradition, one that many seem to forget and even if that's not your motive, in doing this you are of course still giving something back.



    I know I'd personally like to see OVW resume their relationship with WWE as OVWs list of alumni is a who's who of wrestling in 2009. I think if there were a few more JBL's in wrestling, it would be a whole better place.



    I salute you and can't wait to see what's planned for WrestleMania.

    It's nice to see someone stand up for something and someone they believe in. I hadn't heard about Danny in years. It brought back some memories. Thanks! You are keeping a warm memory alive.
