Referee Tom D.

My name is Tom, but some of you may know me as professional wrestling referee Tommy Dunn or Dick Maul, and sometimes evil manager "Delicious" Dick. I was trained to wrestle by 70's/80's WWF/NWA talent Charlie Fulton at the Monster Factory and Mike "Kid" Collins at the ASWA school many years ago. A severe knee injury caused me to take some years off, and now I referee. I do this 1-3 times a week for many different wrestling companies, mainly in OH. I've reffed for stars such as The Honky Tonk Man, Jake "The Snake" Roberts, AJ Styles, Necro Butcher, Demolition Ax, Greg "The Hammer" Valentine, Colin Delaney, Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart, Al Snow, Jerry Lynn, King Kong Bundy, Petey Williams, "Dog Faced Gremlin" Rick Steiner, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn, "Super Hero In Training" Rosey, Native American Tatanka, Doink the Clown, Samoa Joe, The Sandman, Alex Shelly, "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels, Chris Sabin, "King of Old School" Steve Corino, "Rock and Roll Express" Ricky Morton, Low-Ki/Senshi, Colt Cabana, Christian York, Claudio Castagnoli, Zach Gowen, "The Havana Pitbull" Ricky Reyes, Elix Skipper, MsChif, "The Original Gangsta" New Jack, Sonjay Dutt, Sharkboy, "Sweet & Sour" Larry Sweeney, "Rocker" Marty Jannetty, Matt Morgan, Tracy Smothers, Josh Prohibition, "M-Dogg 20" Matt Cross, Arik Cannon, Jimmy Jacobs, Tyler Black, Sterling James Keenan, Rude Boy, various wrestlers from Chikara and ROH, international stars from Japan, Scotland, and about a thousand other wrestlers. The list grows weekly, and every match is a new experience. I've been on television for a few promotions, I'm on DVDs for several wrestling groups that are sold all over the world, I was on an episode of MTV's "Engaged & Underage" (episode: "Jenn and Jake") and in footage on TMZ, the celebrity gossip and news television show. I do a "heel ref" gimmick, and I'm also a heel manager. I know most people think it's a weird thing to do. I know some people think that, and respect that opinion. It's an odd business, but at the same time I've met a wide range of great people, from superstars all the way to guys having their first match. I'm a star (using the term very loosely) for a few hours a week, but I keep the whole thing in perspective. No ego trips for me. The road trips can be pretty fun too. I know you think it's fake. A lot of people do. Get over it. It's "Sports Entertainment" now. Take it for what it is. It's an athletic show. It's also an incredibly tough sport/entertainment, and we all have the scars, injuries, and surgeries to prove it ............................................................ ............................................................ ....There's a time and a place for everything, but I don't take life too seriously. As you can tell by one of my chosen vocations, I don't pay attention to what others may think of me or what I do. Not in a rebellious way, I just don't care. Life flies by, so why waste it by stressing and worrying about the small stuff? Do what makes you happy, don't worry about someone judging you. ............................................................ ............................................................ ............................................................ ............................................................ .....I I worked as a bouncer part time for about 10 years. I started doing this at a couple college (YSU) bars (Pogos' and Ernie's). I also worked at a strip club. I didn't like it a lot. The patrons were all pretty much either pathetic perverts or drug dealers, not my kind of people. The nightclub scene was a lot better for my sanity. Most dancers are a pain in the ass, and it wasn't the dream job most guys would think it would be. I did work with a couple cool girls, though. For the most part, I've had a great time, and I met a lot of good people. We had fun tossing idiots out of the clubs, but I'm not a violent person. It was just a job perk........................................................ ............................................................ ..........-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ -----------Also, the music on my page changes often. Sometimes I really do like the song, and other times I pick one to amuse myself and others. You decide which one it is
