such a bada--!
My dream was and is to document and write about pro- wrestling like Bill Apter the photojournalist and creative mind behind what Dave Meltzer and Superstar Billy Graham call the “Apter Mags”. Apter was the force behind the wrestling magazines Pro Wrestling Illustrated, Inside Wrestler and The Wrestler. Like Professional wrestling fans Apter I am a pro-wrestling fan welcome to my very first column for and becoming just a small part of Delmarva Wrestling Digest. It is an the industry is like a dream come hour to be a part of the DWD team true. and I want to thank publisher Marcus Waters for this opportunity. When I interviewed Apter in September 2017 he talked about As a writer and in all honesty, in my his dream becoming reality. “I life-long relationship with pro- was a huge fan who was now in, wrestling I never dreamed about in a dream-job at that point. I just being Dusty Rhodes, Ric Flair, wanted to meet the wrestlers, Superstar Billy Graham, Bob interview and photograph them. Backlund, The Rock, Stone Cold or They were my favorite TV stars as any of the wrestlers I saw on TV. I I was growing up, I wanted to be also never dreamed about being with them somehow and getting Russell the Love Muscle, Mr. Grim, a job with the magazines did just Muddy Waters, Marcus Waters, JT that.” Funk or any of the local independent wrestlers I currently I feel just like Bill Apter today, but follow. Although I would consider with a little Johnny Malloy being Johnny Malloy because he is swagger! As an author, a successful sales With this column I intend to professional, branding consultant show how closely tied my and businessman and of course a passion and my profession connoisseur of professional actually are. wrestling like Apter I never thought I would be writing a column in In interviewing professional DWD blending business and wrestlers both past and wrestling two of my favorite things present one of the threads together, but isn’t that how fate that connects them in their works. Fate is like the twist and dedication to the pro-wrestling turns of a good professional character and how their wrestling match when you least character and how there is an expect it – be prepared and expect extension of their personality it! I trust I am prepared. outside of the pro-wrestling ring. Recently I wrote a book entitled “Grunt to Groan: Sales Lessons Learned from Professional Wrestling” blending my passion for pro-wrestling with my profession of sales. It is a legitimate look at the salesmanship, showmanship and competitiveness it takes to be Daniel Richards aka The successful in pro-wrestling and how Progressive Liberal that salesmanship, showmanship and competitiveness apply to Daniel Richards aka the success in professional sales. I call it Progressive Liberal explained this “Personal Selling” because both to me in an interview in August businesses are so intimate with 2017, “The great pro-wrestling their customers that it can’t help characters are all an extension of but be personal –the pro-wrestler the pro-wrestler outside of the with their fans and sales ring. professional with their clients. I am a liberal so my character was a clients? natural for me!” Over the next couple months This is the same in professional sales – my intention is to show the your sales character has to be an close relationship, ties and extension of your character outside of comparison between my the products, services and companies passion pro-wrestling and my you represent. As a sales professional profession of business and being phony or fake to your client- sales and I invite you on this partner is a sure death and not a slow journey! Thank you for death, but a quick death like a Johnny reading my column and Malloy “Sweet Release!” please email me your Johnny Malloy preparing Muddy thoughts, comments and Waters for a “Sweet Release” critiques at greatamericanthunder@gmail .com.
