Local grappling instructor weighs in on whether “The Wrestler” tells the true story

Jimmy Zaveski didn’t have to see “The Wrestler” to know what it’s like to be a professional wrestler. He’s been a fan since he was a kid, and he competed in the ring himself for the first time in 1993. So most of what’s shown in the movie was old hat to the man everyone calls “Jimmy Z.” Save a naked Marisa Tomei, of course.

That significant Hollywood turn aside, Zaveski was impressed enough with the authenticity of the movie to have already seen it twice. He’s not sure if Mickey Rourke will win a Best Actor Oscar tonight for his portrayal of Randy “The Ram” Robinson, but he calls the flick a winner.

“It’s a sad story,” said Zaveski, who runs the KYDA Pro wrestling school outside Manassas, “but it’s pretty much dead on.”...More?

KYDA Pro Wrestling at Career Day

It was career day at Metz Middle School in Manassas on Tuesday and 60 professionals came to share some of their “real world” experience.

Firefighters, police officers, business owners and even professional wrestlers showed up just after 9 a.m., each of them escorted to their own classroom full of 7th and 8th grade students full of questions.

“One of my favorite was ’do you have health insurance?’” said James A. Zaveski, owner of KYDA Pro Wrestling. “I thought it was a great question because everyone always asks about how much you make, but never about benefits.” Zaveski is a former Manassas Park high school counselor turned business owner.

“I think the main thing here is to tell these kids that even though they may not want to be wrestlers, there is the account that helps the wrestler out, there is the business manager that promotes the wrestler. It’s important they never give up on their dreams,” said Zaveski...More?

Kip James New KYDA Pro Champion

At 2:00PM at the VFW Post 1503 Hall in Dale City, Virginia, KYDA Pro started its fundraising event. The opening of the show was a promotional announcement by the KYDA Pro Heavyweight Champion Joseph Brooks. It basically disrespected the fans and other wrestlers, when he was interrupted by TNA wrestler Kip James. Brooks challenged the TNA star and then disrespected the former DX Member by referring to him as Rockabilly. It was immediately evident that Brooks crossed the line with that comment. James told Brooks that he had two words for ya - and the crowd eagerly yelled "s#ck it!" at Brooks.

In the main event Kip James pinned the shoulders of Joseph Brooks to become the new KYDA Pro Heavyweight Champion. When interviewed on the victory Kip responded: "The main reason I defeated that punk was so that he could get his mandatory rematch - then I can whip his a$$ again." KYDA Pro is currently working with TNA and Kip James to solidfy a rematch date at KYDA Pro.

KYDA

The planets obviously were out of alignment. Kip James a champion? Please. I wish he would stop the DX references. I guess he can't get over on his own.
