Gregory Helms, ECW's Nubber One Announcer!  LOL  So I'm getting bombarded with emails, messages, comments and tweets asking me about my new position on ECW (that's on Tues nights on Sci-Fi for those in the Land of the Lost) and what it entails for my future.  Well a wise man once said, "You don't really have to plan for the future, cuz it's gonna happen anyway!"  :)  But then again, there's nothing wrong with a little preparation. Being an announcer is just another part of this business that I wanted to try and that I think I'll be good at.  I've always prided myself on being good no matter what roll I was in, be it a great roll or one of less-than-stellar proportions.  I've always been underrated when people mention mic skills despite the fact that I'm almost mostly known for my promo's, especially The Hurricane one's!  LOL  Strange huh?  Anyway, I think my first interview went damn good, and I think I'm only going to get better.  As for what this means for any in-ring activity, honestly, only time will tell.  Injuries aside, I've been on TV in one capacity or another for over 10 years now.  That's a career to be proud of in my opinion. Either way, I'm excited about the future and I hope my fans are as well.

On to a few quickies:

 - - The Watchmen is still the best movie I've seen in a while.  I thought it was extremely good but I will concede that it probably went over a lot of people's heads.  One of my friends said to me, "It just seemed kinda political."  I replied, "Yeah, it was supposed to be, thanks for playing!" :)  

 - - Speaking of books, my latest read was "The First Apostle" by James Becker.  Pretty good, in a DaVinci Code sort of way.  Chelsae Handler's books were also very good, and very funny!  Currently reading "The Alexader Cipher" by Will Adams.  Awaiting the arrival of Dean Koontz's "Frankenstein 3" and Vicki Pettersson's "City of Souls" both coming in July.  Although in Koontz's case, it's been so long since the first two came out that I can barely remember what happened.

 -- Fedor:  Is still the man!  With all respect to Dana White, Fedor is the best Heavyweight in the world.

 - - And Manny Pacquiao vs Ricky Hatton?  Wow!  What a shot!

 - - I finally got to meet Evander Holyfield.  My all-time favorite boxer attended WrestleMania 25. I was at the "curtain" waiting to go out for the lumberjack tag-team title match, which should be included on the DVD when it's released, and as I'm standing there I see Evander walk in.  And now I get a little flustered, cuz the match is about to start, but I have seriously been a fan of Evander since I was like 12-13 years old!  I wasn't a late bangwagon jumper, I always thought Evander was gonna beat Tyson and I rubbed it in all my friends faces when he did.  So anyway, I run over to get a pic, but of course I got no cam with me cuz I'm in gear.  Referree Scott Armstrong gets me to take a pic of himself with Evander, which I do, but when I ask Scott to return the favor his battery dies!  Arghhh!!!!!  But luckily, who comes to save the day??  Little Natch himself, Charles Robinson!  I take the pic, inform Evander of how he made my broke ass some money back in the day, and then I run back to the curtain for the match!  Sh-sh-shhhhhweeet!!
 
 - - A funny story from Wrestlemania the previous year, that would be 24 for those who need the assist, I was introduced to Kim Kardasian and had absolutely NO IDEA who she was.  I thought she was just another chick trying to get a job.  LOL  It's a strange world where you're around hot chicks so much that you kinda get immune to them.  Dating VS has a lot to do with that as well.  :)

Well that's all I got for now, if you got questions, check out my Q and A blog on my myspace profile.  Also check out www.gregoryhelms.com as it has been updated again and looks great.  Also, check me out on Twitter at www.twitter.com/HurricaneHelms and become one of my Twitizens, and yeah, I coined that phrase!  :):)
