HELLO AND WELCOME! :) My name is IceWolf and I thank you for visiting the page! I hope you find things in order and easy to browse. I wanted to make a page to recognize one of hardest working men in the World Wrestling Federation. His name is Jim Dotson and he is Head of Security for the WWF. I know that he is supposed to be in the background and that he likes it way, but, he does one hell of a job for the wrestlers and for the fans and he needed to be saluted for that. This is my small token, as I try to do something for the man who travels when hardly anyone else does, who since February 1998 has been at nearly every T.V. taping, PPV and House Show scheduled, the majority of autograph signings/appearances and keeps the paperwork going at Titan! With and through all of that, he takes time for proper treatment of the boys and of the fans. I myself have not met Jim yet. (That is my own fault I guess when looking back on things) But, have had the opportunity to speak to people who have met him, and they all tell me the same things. He is genuinely a nice guy. A real southern gentleman. He makes time for people and takes an interest in everything. I have also had the priviledge of meeting and making friends with Kim and her family. That has been the best spin off in all of this. I want to take the time right here to say "THANK YOU KIM!" Thanks for all your time, chats, info and patience :) You never fail to make me laugh or at least smile. Thank you for your help on all things. You do things without being asked and you do things when asked without question. That still amazes me. Thanks for your help on this page and your support in my endeavors with it. I encourage everyone to click on her page of pics as well as her notes. She is one hell of a lady and I can truly understand why she is Jimmy's favorite :) A HUGE thank you goes out to ATHENA whose effort and support on this page is more appreciated than I am sure you realize! Thanks to her creativity and unselfishness of time and trouble, we have some WONDERFUL custom graphics, including the banner and the IceWolf pics. Many thanks sis! *HUGS* Thanks also go out to ~dville for help with the lyrics section, as well as alerting me to some of the pictures and info/articles around the net that she spotted whilst cruising the net. Much time, effort and patience on her part ahve been put into these pages, and for that, I want to thank her very much. I also want to thank her for her friendship, her eyes, and ears, and her VCR tapes! LOLOL! Thanks for keeping me up on the latest happenings. All the best to you, always. Thanks also for keeping me laughing. Another thank you goes out to Lashana. You've given me reasons to smile when I really didn't want to. Thanks for the eyes, ears, hugs and tears. You are too kind! The biggest thank you of all goes out to Jessica Rabbit. I wouldn't have made it anywhere without you. The "Terrible Trio" is now a "Terrifying Twosome", but I'm enjoying it so much more. Then again, with mother around.....we are a trio once again. :) Your guidance, patience, help, understanding and friendship is something I don't think I could ever do without. Looking back on the past 7 years and realizing all the things, ideas, places, and people you have shown to me and let me fully experience, well, I know I would be no where near the person I have become without you or your guidance. Halifax will never be the same again. The legacy lives on in Moncton and Halifax! Beer's for wimps...TKO's are for the women! Love ya! The last, but certainly, not the least of the "Thank You"s goes out from me to Jim. Thank you for giving me a reason to keep watching wrestling. Thank you for being there for all of the guys out on the road. Thank you also for taking care of the fans while you are out on the road. Watching you with the kids is heartening. Thank you I know I've scared the hell out of you, and I totally understand. Perhaps we will truly meet somewhere. Please remember to take care of you out there as well. Enjoy the page everyone! Feel free to email me anytime. Icewolf
March 5, 2001 Happy Birthday shout out to Jim! Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, I wish you the best birthday yet, and hope that the coming year is the best, brightest, happiest, and healthiest to date! Remember, you are, and will be missed. Take care, always. March 4, 2001 Well, it's been a while since I've done anything around here, now hasn't it? I just realized I didn't post anything on the page about Yoko, or his passing. Several reasons for that, mainly, because I really had no idea what I wanted to say. I still fon't, but, figure I've let it go for too long already. Yoko was a one of a kind guy, as anyone who has spoken on his untimely passing has already stated. A gentleman, and a sweetheart. It pains me still today to think he is no longer lumbering on this earth, enjoying people, places and things, and other people can no longer enjoy him. I know that it meant a great deal to some friends of mine how kind and gentle he was. I know that there are things that many will enver know and understand, but, Yoko, you couldn't have been a better person to give the news about Joey. Your compassion and caring really meant alot. To Yoko, we're sorry we made you go to the "Twilight Zone" so much. but, it was fun just the same :P We also hope that he got you that Heineken he owed you. If he didn't, make sure you extract payback now, and then, get him when he arrives to. heheh In fact, share a few with Joey, and Gorilla. Gotta keep them happy too! And please, you, Joey and Brian keep the ribs coming! Always fondly remembered. Truly missed. The Halifax Girls. NOVEMBER 18, 2000 Folks, the wolf is tired. I'm ready to curl up in the lair and go to sleep, never to wake up again. In light of this, I have decided to put a temporary suspension on this page. That wasn't as hard for me to do as I thought it would be. Simply because, I hadn't been doing any work on the page for a while now. Over a month as some had reminded me. I guess there are several different reasons for that, the main one of course, being that Jim just isn't one who emenates news at a regular pace. If there isn't anything to post, I can't make it up now can I? Anyways, on with other issues. I've decided to put another time-line up to the barre. The last one worked to the most hysterical points, so we'll see what putting up a new one leads me. Probably no where, but, we'll see. I've decided to give this page until January 15th, 2001 to see whether or not I will keep working, or putting time, effort and care into it. I'm looking for a couple of specific things to change and happen on or before that time. One thing already has happened, and that is all well and good, but, I'm greedy. What can I say? :) I will take the time between now and then to decide if I want to keep it as is, modify it, work only on certain sections, or delete it altogether. I'd like to keep posting personal pics, work a bit on the music and other interests stuff, but, I may have to decide to can all that as well. Needless to say, it is hard to have a page such as this up and keeping up to date when things are backgroundish. Also, the holiday season is my second businest time of year at work with the concerts, pageants, recitals, etc, etc, etc, and I have a hard time keeping everything straight on the best of times, so, unless something drastic happens, I've decided to take this factor out of the equation until the classes stop for the holidays, until I work on me and make me less tired of it all. Then, I'll start back to work on the fun side of my life. Though, I don't have to justify my actions, decisions, or lack there of to anyone, I thought I'd post about this just the same. Perhaps eliminating questions that need not be thought or asked. Nothing bad has happened, I'm just tired. I need to work on my real work, and I need to work on me. Or, the wolf really will end up going into the lair and not be able to come back out. JULY 4, 2000 Okay, so The Undertaker has returned. I have heard many different thoughts and ideas on his return and have kept the thoughts and ideas mostly to myself up until now and even now, I am only putting a few thoughts and ideas up on the subject. My thoughts on this will not be popular ones I am sure and you can feel free to email me your bitches, but I want to make sure that everyone realizes that this is the way I see it and you can all kiss my royal ass if you don't like it. Undertaker has re-emerged with yet another new twist on the "character" of the Undertaker. He has shed his skin and come back with a new look, a new attitude. Good for him. You don't like it? You miss the creepiness? You miss the darkness? You don't like the talk, or the humour? Gee, that is too bad. If you don't like the way he looks now, you don't like the way he acts now, or if you don't like the way he talks, or the humour he's showing, I sincerely hope that you don't ever meet the man...the man so many on the net prefess to love and adore. Why? Becuase the man you love and adore...mostly the Undertaker of old is the character. You think he loves and lives the "darkside"? You think he is spiritually connected to you because he lives with paranormal abilities? He has none. Get over it. The man you see now is as close to the real man. If you don't like this new change in the "character", then do yourself a favour and stay away fromt eh man outside of the ring. If you don't like it, you won't like him. Plain and simple. I congratulate Mark for changing the character again, and making it into something more practical and easy for him. I hope that the fans start coming around to it more, and stop giving the grief and shit that I have seen going around. I have seen the molting of The Undertaker over the years, and I know the impetuses behind the morphing, and it is so good and refreshing to see this latest incarnation. About time. Stay happy. I love the fact that he isn't giving two shits about the fans. Good for him. He needs to do what he needs to do, to stay, and survive and hopefully, thrive. I really hope that all these "fans" start realizing this and get their heads out of their asses, and start seeing that this change is, and was, a necessary change, and that he can't go back now to the Undertaker of old, nor should any true fan ask him to. Fact is, he is not superhuman, fact is, he does NOT have any supernatural powers. Fact is, he is human, and hurts in humanly ways. All the time. Fact is, he doesn't know you EXIST and you are not connected to him spiritually or psychically. He doesn't come and speak to you in your dreams to give you special messages. Fact is, he is working INJURED. STILL. And going out there busting his ass becuase he WANTS to, not becuase he feels a need to please "his fans". Get over yourselves! You don't like the new Taker? You are in for a surprise. I think that any "REAL FAN" will start to see this now. If they don't understand any or all of this, then see your local psychiatrist and get yourself checked into the local insane asylum. You need help and, for your sakes, I hope that you figure it out first, before you run into him and he has to tell you. April 19, 2000 I am sure no one wants to hear me rant on and on like I normally do, but I wanted to post this up on the page somewhere, so here it is. I have been told "you can't get something if you don't ask for it", as well as "becareful what you wish for because you just might get it." Well, mine is a cross between asking and stating. Like I said, I'm sure no one really cares what I am about to say, but I am hoping that it gets to the right places somehow. I am sick of the product that the WWF is putting out right now. I have not bothered to get a PPV in 5 months and I have no intention on wasting any more of my hard earned money on one until the product becomes closer to what is is suppossed to be...and that would be WRESTLING! As a life long wrestling fan, I can not understand, condone or like what is being promoted now as wrestling. What is being put out there for people to watch is nothing more than a glorified peep show. The actual amount of wrestling is next to nil and the talent that they have in the federation right now of technical wrestlers is at an all time high! Why? Becuase they don't want to lose any of the new fans who started watching when they went to showing more T&A and when they started to jabber on for 25 minutes at a time. I'm sick of it and I have set a timeline for myself. Also, included in that time line is another important thing (to me). There has not been a live show in Atlantic Canada for almost 2 years. I find this unacceptable. We were stalwarts for the wwf in the lean years before their boom. In the early 90's there was a show every 4 to 6 weeks. We were the first place outside of the USA to host a live Raw telecast. We have hosted several otehr television tapings before that. Why suddenly do we not exist on the map? Why are we good enough to keep your pocketbooks lined through the hard times but not good enough to swing around in the gold rush? Why are our arenas gfood enough to hold your television tapings and Raw's live a mere 4 years ago, but we are not large enough to merit you coming through. Saint John, New Brunswick has a brand new arena. Halifax's Metro Centre has made large renovations this past year. They are good enough for some of the world's top acts, but not for the WWF? Spare me. The best part about wrestling for me always has been and always will be the live events. I have been attending live events since I was 4 years old. The past 3 years I have had to travel out of the damn COUNTRY to see the WWF. I have spent entirely too much money on doing so when they should be remembering who they will want to come back to when the boom dies. So, my point? My point is the timeline. A timeline for myself and for the WWF. Like I said, they probably don't give two shits what my timeline is or the reasons why, but I'm hoping that they realize it is just not me. They should realize that I am speaking on behalf of the wrestling fans of Atlantic Canada as whole, who I can tell you would sell out 3 days in each city and are frothing at the mouths for some live action. But, I again digress. My timeline is September 1, 2000. If the WWF doesn't bring a live event or two or three back around our way on or before Setpember 1, 2000, then I will stop watching completely. I can not afford to indulge my passion of live events by busting my bank account to go get my fix and going elsewhere. I am also giving the WWF till september 1, 2000 to bring their product back to where it should be..and to make it a wrestling show once again. The talent pool they have at their fingertips now is incredible, but if you are going to waste it on jaw jakking and Tits and Ass with a little degredation of women thrown in there, then I'm out. I know one less fan isn't a big deal to the suits, but I'm not the only one in on this either. So that is it. My timeline for a better product and live events back in the Maritimes is September 1, 2000. Not a big deal I know, but if I don't put it "out in the ethers" then nothing can be done about it other than me sitting and stewing. So, let's see if this does anything for our cause up here and if not, then September 1st will be a day where many things will be changing in my life. Thanks for reading. icewolf
