WRESTLINGRESPECT.COM INTERVIEWS EVAN GINZBURG ABOUT HIS ROLE IN THE WRESTLER, TIGER KHAN- FIRE IN THE BLOOD & MUCH MORE. LISTEN HERE…

Wrestling Respect (www.wrestlingrespect.com) is a new web site and audio show that focuses on New England-based independent promotions plus Ring of Honor, Chikara, TNA, WWE, and all other organizations that run shows in the region. The site's founder, Joshua B, spent 14 years in the music industry where he had the opportunity to interview many artists, musicians, and producers. Now he has taken that experience and applied it to his long-time interest in pro wrestling. His home studio, dubbed the Golden Touch studio, now pulls double duty as pro wrestling personality interview headquarters. Episode #1 of Wrestling Respect features an hour plus interview with New England Championship Wrestling president and co-owner, Sheldon Goldberg. The next interview was conducted at the studio with the help of an American Sign Language interpreter, and was later transcribed into text. The interviewee was Matt Calamare, the region's only deaf referee and wrestler. Now, Joshua B is pleased to announce the availability of the second Wrestling Respect audio show, a 70 minute interview with Evan Ginzburg. The radio host, writer, producer, teacher, club promoter, and manager called the Golden Touch studio from his New York apartment and went in-depth about The Wrestler and many other topics including his time at WBAI radio, his Legends Radio internet show, and much more. But possibly most fascinating are his first-hand accounts of being on the set of The Wrestler, and the six years of preparation leading up to it. Evan's accounts and stories will give you chills. On this episode of Wrestling Respect, you'll also hear about Chikara's return to Framingham, MA, Ring of Honor's return to Connecticut, and the Killer Kowalski Memorial Wrestling show coming this Sunday, October 26 to Malden, MA. Visit www.wrestlingrespect.com to hear the show now or to download it for listening at your convenience. If you like what you hear, subscribe to the Wrestling Respect podcast so you'll never miss an episode.

Dear Family and Friends,

We have had an overwhelming response to my brother Bernard's story.  We can't thank you enough for your thoughts, prayers, messages and donations.  Keep the great energy flowing! 

The most important thing you can do is share Bernard's story with others.  Please send this e-mail out to everyone you know! It is amazing how quickly news travels.  The more people who know what is going on, the better chance Bernard has at beating this terrible disease.

The Save Bernard Siaki Team is currently researching programs and opportunities that may decrease the financial burden on the Siaki Family.  Although Bernard has 2 different kinds of insurance, he is still responsible for the majority of the medical costs surrounding the transplant.  We want to make sure that Bernard has the best medical care and attention possible.  Everyone, everywhere deserved this same right. 

What can you do?  Please donate what you can to Bernard's cause.  For your convenience, Pay Pal is now operating on the website.  We have had almost 16,000 hits to the site to date.  We have raised $4100 to date.  We have a long road ahead of us -- but we are hopeful, enthusiastic and most of all, thankful for what we have.  There is no amount too small -- even in this uncertain economy -- a dollar contributed to save a man's life is priceless. 

Attached is a picture of my brother in Dialysis treament.  At only 35 years old, this is what he does for 15 hrs a week for the last 16 months.  Please keep him in your prayers.

Thank you and God Bless,

The Save Bernard Siaki Team
