Back in 1998, I began working on a site using a free host at the time. The URL was http://bigman98.hypermart.net I named it wrestle-complex. With the help of many people, which included Shane Bauer and Samir Nurmohamed, we began working on a site design.
By 1999, Wrestle-Complex had about 5 reporters. Later that year, a friend contacted me and told me he could get me a domain for cheap. From there wrestle-complex.com was born officially. By this time, I had Shane Bauer as a co-webmaster. I also had about 8 reporters including the owner of WrestleView.com Paul Nemer. Paul worked with me to help out with some scripting to the site for the newsboards. I am extremely grateful for the work he helped put into it. The site gained good reputation, and a decent amount of hits for that time period.
In 2000, my domain name expired. Couldn't contact the guy who bought the domain for me, so wrestle-complex.com went under. I was able to get a URL redirection service, so it was forwarded back to bigman98.hypermart.net
Shortly after this, Paul Nemer contacted me if I was interested with merging my site with his. I agreed. From there I became co-webmaster of Wrestleview.com. We spent the next few weeks redesigning the entire site from scratch. Some of my staff I had began working for Wrestleview, while others decided it wasn't for them.
In late 2001, I began working with school and work. I didn't have the time back then to help out and I knew it wasn't fair to the staff of WrestleView so I explained to Paul that I was leaving due to this. I have remained good friends with the staff of WrestleView.com, which now includes their co-webmaster Adam Martin.
Now it is 2007, I have an abudance of time. In March of this year, I decided to bring back Wrestle-Complex.com.
