BIOGRAPHY OF BIG DADDY GORDY
Hello To everyone I know this may be very boring but I have to do this I think it will be very good for my page and my career. This will explain how I got the chance to live a dream that I had when I was a child and the time in between.
It was 1995 and I had just graduated High School. I got a job at a local gas station pumping gas and checking oil. That just the good part I was hooked on drinking and other things, such as pills,pot,and others just to cut it short. My life had a dead end road and I was loving it so it would seem. Then I met a man by the name of Danny Ray. He would just stop in at the store and Bull Crap with us for hours. Then I found out he wrestled that just made me want to talk to him more so I started to ask alot of questions and he would just stooged me off, but finally he gave in. One night we sat and talked about drugs and drinking my life pretty much and where I was headed. He started coming in more often and talking more about wrestling it was just great then one night I didn't show up for work. He stopped by and asked where I was and they told him most likely drunk somewhere I called in. Well the next night he made it a point to show up at the store and chewed my ass pretty good, then as he was leaving he said would you, ah never mind, right there I was hooked and begged him to finish what he was going to say. He said would you like to train with me and my student. I said yes and that was the beginning of a great adventure in my life and restored base of ethic and determination for me alone.
Next about one week later he took me to Red Jacket where he and a few guys had a ring set up. He said we have to meet Jaime my student the we will go get started. Let me tell you that place was freeky, Red Jacket that is. Come to find out Jaime was now known as Jaime Knoble a great person and then one who was going to work my ass off in the ring week after week. I thank him so much for that. Every week he would keep pushing me further and further I thought I would not make through but BY_GOD I did and that was just the start for me.
I remember my first match in Ceredo Kenova , this is a very funny story I had been training with Danny Ray for about 6 months and went to this show just to learn and the promoter said hey Gordy you can you work the first match for me tonight. So I looked at Danny Ray for the o.k. and he said yes then it hit me oh my god what am I doing, I went to Danny Ray man I am more nervous than a whore in church what if I screw up. He said it is o.k. just ease up relax. By then I was sweating bullets and Tommy Gibson said here brother drink one with me. That was a mistake before Danny Ray could get to me I had drank about 6 or 7 beers my nerves was o.k. though and I was ready to go. Then they told me who I was working, ( Lucious Louie Love) this guy Oh my he was just oh my about 300lbs in all pink with pink eye shadow and lip stick what a night. So the match starts a few big man spots then he dumps out of the ring bad idea for him here I have no clue what do he give a few shots and said pick up that broom and hit me with it. O.K. would you tell a complete green guy to hit you with a stick, Ah well BAM I have never seen a stick break that many ways in my life never the less we took it home right after that. Not my fault he asked for it. All in all good match except the broom but Danny Ray was proud of me and that I was proud too the first one down now time to really start catching on to the swing of things.
Now six years has pasted and well over 150 matches later I still strive on learning more every time I step in the ring or just in a locker room full of guys. I have worked from South Carolina to Tennessee to Kentucky, Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia and on.... But the greatest thing yet is I still learn everytime I go somewhere to work. I have met many people in this business and like a lot of them one or two may have been bad but all is good if you know what I mean.
The Best Match of my career so far has to be Against Danny Ray at the Inez Fair in KY, it was a terrible day raining out and we was working under a tent. Hot very hot mid august and the ring crew didn't show so me and Danny both helped put up the ring and I will be damned we both hurt ourselves before the match. My back which I still have trouble with from time to time. I think it was Danny's back also he tried to get me to not work that night but I begged please, he said the only way was if he worked me so we went to the promoter and told the story and he agreed to let us work each other. It was just simple stuff headlock arm bar and then it seemed all the pain left for a little while from the both of us and I realized our love for wrestling took over and we absolutly tore the house down he even to a backdrop that night and that is not ADR he hates backdrops I bumped my ass off for him as well, then the finish was just great you just had to be there Danny won the match but I won the self battle of graduating to the next level of respect. We both couldn't walk the next day but made it a point to call and check on one another very much the highest point in my career at this point.
As for right now in my career I work show's when possible trying to work as much as I can in APW in Oak Hill , WV those guys are great and very respectful aswell. I have just had a few matches for them so far but more to come in the future.
Well this is not much but as for what I have written it is from the heart and to all that has been there and walked the path I have I hope you the best , look for a friend or loved one they can help and I know Danny Ray, saved a young man from getting killed to early in life and when you see Big Daddy Gordy step in a ring somewhere you will be looking at him.
I make it a point to let every little kid or grown-up that I talk to about drugs and drinking, yes I may drink a beer or two but not like it used to be and to all the people out there that look at this page please don't do drugs stay clean use your head don't destroy it.
So be good and fair to all and hopefully have a great time doing it.
Later Big Daddy Gordy
