Whattup Horsey-holics !!! It is you certified "Cult" leader back once again to fill you in on all the happenings. I gonna call this update my "Piss and Moan" Segment because I have a lot of things to talk about for once.

This will probably be one of the longest columns I've ever done, so you will have to be patient with me. If not then BEAT IT !!!

Well, it seems that the C.O. Hustler got one by me in our scheduled match at the last PWC show we had.

But to clear the record, it wasn't Hustler that beat Shank, it was Shank that beat Shank. Let me explain...

"The Orient express" Shank Dorsey has been on the injured list for quite some time with tailbone and lower back problems. I had taken almost 3 months or more off to let it heal, but my second bump into the match, I felt it again.

The lower back felt like I woke up with feet in my back all night or something and my tailbone and hip felt like I had been shot in the hip with a bow and arrow and it lodged into my tailbone.

Not only was I fighting a tough cookie in the C.O. Hustler, as well as his coat riding side kick, Fat Dick. I was fighting myself because it was taking everything I had to finish the match. I couldn't hardly stand on my right leg, let alone run ropes and finish a match, but I did what I had to do. But, damn did it hurt.

And what pisses me off even more than that was how I lost. That sum bitch used one of my own tactics against me. The brass knuckles to the dome was the classic Shank Dorsey - Wimpy Watson sceme if I ever saw one, and I fell for it.

Anyway, I at least got a measure of revenge and Fat Dick got my thumb shoved up his ass... nuff said!!!

I can still feel the hip and tailbone but I have a lot bigger issue at hand right now. Aside from the tailbone, hip, and lower back, your certified "Cult" leader has been experiencing pain and numbness in his chest and arms.

I KNOW - I KNOW, The fat bastards finally gonna have a heart attack ...

My Doc wanted to know what was going wrong with me, except for the fact that he thinks I'm a little mental for destroying my body for people who could care less about me, so we started with the EKG ...The ticker is good to go. Now let me stop there for a moment...

I pretty much knew going into that doctor's office what the problem most likely was. To be honest, I have had these symptoms for a couple years now. I started noticing the pains while I was working in IWA Mid-South , but I was hoping they would go away. I even kept it a secret from my wife for a couple years until I let it slip out in a joke I was messing with her on.

After that, I knew I was Doctor bound and I was right. She scheduled my appointment within the next day or two and she even got Big Duke and Mama Dorsey on me, but you know what. I have to thank her for taking the action I was trying to avoid. We have 4 children to raise. I can't afford permanent injury and that very well could of happened.

Now, back to the story. The EKG was good, so we started to go in the direction of nerve or neck damage ... DAMMIT, I didn't want to go there, but it looked like we were. He scheduled me for x-rays to see if my spine was shaped right and there was nothing out of place. That came back good as well which is a good thing because after seeing the x-rays, he cleared me to wrestle that night.

Next on the list is the MRI. I have done the MRI but have not gotten my results back because my Doc has been out with his daughter who is very, very ill and to her I wish her a speedy recover. I absolutley understand the stress of having a very ill daughter. I just went through it myself.

In short, he thinks, and I kinda already knew, that I either have some nerve damage in the neck region or he thinks I may have some C4-C5 damage, which is a common, but sucky, injury in wrestling. So, what does this mean ...

What this means is that if the results come back in a way that I'm not hoping for ... "The Orient Express" Shank Dorsey may have to hang em up. I have been doing a lot of thinking on this topic and have had some thoughts run through my head.

For some reason, Shank hasn't been Shank lately. There seems to be something missing, as if I don't have "IT" like I used to have. Now, people on the inside know what "IT" is, but for those of you that don't ... let's just keep it that way.

I am only 30 years old, but being that I have put my body through things that a body isn't supposed to go through, I feel and move like I'm 60. Even some of my closest friends in the business have been making "old man of the group" jokes to me, which I think are funny.

I have lived with pain and taken shots and bumps that 95% of the people on this planet would never think of doing, but it just seems like the Shank that everyone loved to hate is missing and I'm not so sure if he is ready to be found or not.

I am however going to start dieting and working on my weight to see if that will help me in my back and hip problems, and Big Duke even came up with a good idea to wear a hip protector during matches, like in football. But I'm not so sure if the neck and nerve problems are gonna have a factor in it either, so we gonna have to see what happens I guess.

Maybe "IT" will come back and maybe it won't, but I do know that I don't feel like I am carrying my part of the weight in the "Three Headed Monster" at this point in time. And for the record, I will not refer to Marcus, Matt, and myself as "The Coalition" for a while out of respect for the "TRUE" Coalition out there kickin ass and taking names.

Speaking of which, let me stop with the pissing and moaning and just ramble on about a couple of things, so I can get the hell out of here.

Since I brought up the Coalition, I just want to "Publicly" state that I am behind G.W. Bush and the boys 100% and it makes me sick to my stomach to see all these protestors out in the streets and that fat ass idiot on the awards show that said he was against Bush.

You know what Grammy boy ... KISS MY ASS !!! and to the idiot protestors, let it be known that if you was to lay your stupid ass out in front of my car in protest .... you'd get ran the fuck over. Point blank.

I don't hate Iraqi's but Saddam Hussein must be eliminated and his reign of terror destroyed. Terrorism is an ugly thing and it must be stopped. Speaking of Iraqi's, I think that the Mohammad guy that saved pfc Jessica Lynch was one of the most coolest and courageous things I have ever heard of in my life. Iraqi or American, give that dude a purple heart in my opinion.

Ok, I'm sure you guy's didn't want to hear that, did ya?

Anyway, I just wanted to pass along the news that the Premiere Wrestling Coalition has just became an LLC. I think that is a smart move on their part and could very well open up some big doors for them if the chips fall their way, so it will be very interesting to see what will transpire from it.

I think I covered everything for now, if not, I'll do it next time.

Kudos to the "Yard-Bird", still out representin !!!
