Whenever someone has an idea, they always hope it becomes something really big. When Bill Gates had the idea to start a company manufacturing personal computers, he had hoped that despite his critics and the industry laughing at the notion that people would actually want personal home computers, his company would be successful - ten years and over ninety billion dollars later - his success speaks for itself.

A year ago, when Rob, Butch and myself had the idea for a half hour wrestling show devoted entirely to the fans, we had hoped that people would like it and hopefully become regular viewers - I don't think any of us expected what is happening now.

When Ring Fever began, it was an idea, a concept. "Where the fans are the stars" was our base to launch a show devoted entirely to the fans - because without wrestling fans, there is no wrestling. From the first day we taped at Fun Time U.S.A., the idea was a success. People were very excited to be a part of a show that was theirs to help create grow and mature into a success. With each passing episode, the show's popularity grew faster than we had ever thought. The website's hits were skyrocketing, the show's viewership was increasing, and every time we turned around - someone else had the fever.

As customary with the development of an idea - at least the successful ones - after a while of operating on a small scale, the idea is taken to the next level and brought into the mainstream and suddenly explodes into the mainstream because it is something everyone was waiting for. Not very long ago, a man named Thomas Stemberg decided that since everyone bought office supplies and had to go to everything from Pharmacies to supermarkets to buy them, perhaps he should open a store that sold nothing but office supplies. In the beginning, he started small and only opened a store in his hometown. Before even he knew what hit him, Staples went from one store to a Fortune 500 company with over 46,000 employees with stores in the U.S., Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands and Portugal.

When we started Ring Fever, we were a weekly show on Brooklyn Cable Access Television with a website. Now - just months later - we are the most popular independent wrestling show on TV and one of the most popular sites on the web with hits and message boards that rival some of the most popular wrestling websites on the Net.

All from an idea.

The success of Ring Fever is happening even too fast for us. But we want you fans to know - because after all, this is your show - that Ring Fever is in the process of turning from a caterpillar into one hell of a butterfly. The changes happening both internally and externally are sure to take Ring Fever to heights you can not imagine. For starters, expect to see Ring Fever wind up on a major national network very soon.

In the process of this incredible evolution, new episodes might be delayed and website content might not be updated as quickly. Please understand that these setbacks now will result in a huge step forward later. Believe me, no one knows what is in store for Ring Fever - not even us.

Put it this way, if Ring Fever was an actual disease - it's now airborne - expect a global outbreak
