Since losing his hair to Hallowicked at "Chikarasaurus Rex: How to Hatch a Dinosaur", Tim Donst has been downright insufferable. No matter where CHIKARA would go, he would spread his own brand of misery to any and all who opposed him. He had his successes (albeit largely from cheating) along the way, such as winning the 2012 Cibernetico, but for the most part his journey to "save pro wrestling" has been muddled. Amassing a crew along the way, Donst now keeps the company of former BDK compadre Jakob Hammermeier, the former majorette Veronica, and Steve "The Turtle" Weiner. CHIKARA host and ring announcer Gavin Loudspeaker would often take subtle jabs at Donst during his ring introductions but decided to no longer be an innocent bystander come "The Shoulder of Pallas." He warned Donst's crew that Tim was a selfish man, causing Tim to attack Gavin and take a lock of his hair. Gavin would once again be harassed during a Podcast-A-Go-Go taping, as well as CHIKARA's Southern swing a couple weekends ago. This would lead to Gavin pleading to Wink Vavasseur for safer worker conditions, but those pleas fell on deaf ears. When Gavin asked for a surrogate to wrestle Donst in his place at "Aniversario: Never Compromise", Wink instead decided it was best for Gavin, who is untrained in the sport, to step into the ring for himself. Therefore, Gavin will face Tim Donst (much to the delight of Donst) on Sunday, June 2nd on iPPV in Philadelphia, PA. How this will go is anybody's guess. How will this epic mismatch play out?

4/19/2013: One of the things Tim Donst probably won’t tell you is that we used to be friends. We hung out after events, we played Guitar Hero, we stayed up late, and for a brief period even formed a band - with Donst on bass and Hydra playing drums.

He probably won’t mention that anytime soon, but I feel like it’s important to point out that his bullying, cowardly tactics go back a long way. His psychotic need for attention through misery resulted in the end our short-lived band. And our friendship. And Hydra’s career. From there, he saddled up with the BDK, where he met his BFF Jakob Hammermeier. While Jakob annoyed me endlessly in the ring and kept me from doing my job, Donst was always there, smiling, almost like it was his twisted game. He just loves to ruin fun. He doesn’t even need a reason.

Maybe he is jealous of my personal connection to the CHIKARA fans, how we all treat each other like family...a connection he can never have. Maybe he just hates that I’m funny, cute and talented. Maybe it’s my music - since he couldn’t carry a note if it was in a hammock.

I know what my job is, I don’t do play-by-play for the New York Ballet. I deal with wrestlers all the time, so I know my place. I’m the ring announcer, so I shut up and do my job. Except my job is mostly talking. So yeah, sometimes I get carried away. I love to get a rise from the CHIKARA fans and I’ll do anything to do it, so I guess I took a few shots at Donst over the season premiere weekend, but that is my JOB. I’m supposed to entertain the fans. It’s called having fun. And what I said was true: “Tim Donst is NOT main event material.”

Let’s take a look at his iPay-Per-View record, shall we? At "High Noon" he lost to UltraMantis and Hallowicked, effectively ending the BDK’s reign of terror. At "Chikarasaurus Rex" Hallowicked proved he’s the greatest Young Lions Cup champion ever, defeating Donst and taking his hair. Then, at "Under the Hood," when the critics and pundits had him pegged as CHIKARA’s next Grand Champion, he again fell short. One "Backfist to the Future" later and his future didn’t look so bright. Heck, I’d be frustrated, too. I get the frustration.

But that doesn't give license to take out frustration on a ring announcer. To get physical. To intimidate. That is a pretty pathetic display of who he is, and he didn’t really hurt me. And talking about pathetic people - Jakob and nowVeronica enable his every whim. They are as low as Donst, and it almost doesn't phase me. But it just disgusts me to see Donst contaminate the mind of Steven “Turtle” Weiner, who is a good guy mixed up with the wrong crowd.

Last month, after a particularly humiliating brow-beating in Tampa, I lost my cool in Orlando. I told the crowd exactly what I felt about Tim Donst, and I’m glad I did because it made me feel better. During that exact same weekend - guess who was making misery in the happiest place on earth?

Watch Tim Donst in that video. What else do you need to know about this lowlife? Playing with someone as if they are a toy?

And how about WrestleCon? In front of the biggest live CHIKARA crowd ever I had a moment I’ll never forget...but for the wrong reasons. After throwing me to the mat, he unleashed his scissors and proceeded to cut a lock from my Zeus-like hair as his cronies looked on in amusement. It looked as if he was going to finish the job, too, but he had his fun. Bullies never finish the job. As if I had a target on my back, Tim Donst took it upon himself to bring his sick misery train to my home turf, CHIKARA Podcast-A-Go-Go.

Striking me. Knocking me down. Ending the fun. Even though my doctor said it would not be permanent, the hearing in my left ear is messed up because of you, Tim. Not cool.This is not fun anymore. I’m unable to do my job and I feel unsafe. I'm going to start recording the Go-Go at my place, because I don't feel safe at the studio any more. I don't deserve to be slapped around, no matter what I say or who I say it to, Tim.

To our Director of Fun: I request you suspend Tim Donst from the next live card, and fine him heavily for what he's done to me. Furthermore, I'd like to see the money taken from his paycheck donated to the Be A Star charity ( www.facebook.com/beaSTARAlliance). I want him to see that his terrorist tactics only served to fund an anti-bullying campaign.

And once he's been dealt with, we can finally get back to having fun.  GL

3/7/2013: What ever happened to the good ol' days? Y'know – the days when a jilted would-be lover could spitefully douse the duplicitous shrew who broke his heart with a pail full of fetid sludge and that be it. Why can the muck-encrusted no longer simply shamble away, never to be heard from again?

Maybe I'm just being sentimental. I've been to "the good ol' days," after all. Back in 1885, my good pal Clint Eastwood washed his hands of “Mad Dog” Tannen by socking him into a cart of manure. Is it so much for me to want Veronica to go the way of “Mad Dog”?

See, I’m a man who’s living on borrowed time and I know that. Next time I get Backfisted To The Future, I’ll be zapped back into the past (2 June 2012, to be precise,) where my current form, will be reconciled with that...Doppelgänger...who’s been seen wandering the globe. So, the fact is, I haven’t the inclination to waste any more of my time dealing with Veronica. Unfortunately, however, I don’t like loose ends (nor do I like Veronica’s split ends, but I digress.)

As a result of Veronica’s meddling, I’ve got a loose end concerning one Tim Donst that needs to be, well… tightened. I could write that he punted me in the groin in lieu of defeat during our last encounter but that would be crude. Instead, I’ll leave it to my world-renowned personal physician, Dr. Charles McNider, to explain in painstaking detail the extent of the damage inflicted upon me by one Tim Donst:

[Due to its graphic nature, we have elected to redact this portion of Dr. Peck’s blog. We apologize for any discomfort this may have caused. But, trust us – leaving it would have caused much more discomfort.]

So, you see – in light of all that (particularly the third paragraph on page six,) how could I not ask for a rematch? Which I did. And my wish was granted.

I’m a man living on borrowed time and I know that so I want to enjoy this Florida vacation. Scott Parker, Bryce Remsburg and I have a “Best Beach Bodies” photo shoot planned with the Nitro Girls for an upcoming issue of WCW Magazine but we won’t be soaking up the rays we need if there’s a dark cloud looming over “The Sunshine State.” That’s why, on 9 March, at "Watchmaker" in Orlando, when I tie up this loose end with one Tim Donst, I ask for two things: A fair fight and clear skies with no chance of Veronica.

3/4/2013: What is love? Why is it so rare? When do you know if it’s real?

Love is a 4-letter word which spelled backwards becomes Evol. Well what a coincidence! Evol is exactly what Veronica is! I had to learn the hard way. She didn’t love me. She loved the attention she received when she was around the Young Lions Cup champ. I couldn’t tell you why, maybe it’s because she was a NERD when I found her...wait she still is a nerd! I made her popular. Any girl who would see us together would rip their left arm off to be with me. Ladies, no need to rip your arm off - I’m single now.

Veronica is a cheater. Some people even believe that I wouldn’t be YLC champ without her. That’s not true. I never asked her to do anything. If you don’t believe me, watch my match with Saturyne from Easton. Veronica wasn’t there to help and I still have the YLC. That hussy gave me a bad reputation. So, I figured I would tell the truth about dear Veronica. Veronica wears too much makeup. Have you ever seen her without it? Disgusting! The world saw her true beauty at "Under the Hood" when she was pig-slopped by another nerd. I can;t get that stench out of my nostrils.

Dasher, I want you to know that I got your back 100% from now on, and I’m sorry for not being there against The Batiri. Things are going to change I promise. With that cheater Veronica out of the picture we can focus on being a team again. You can trust me. I want what’s best for your career and mine as well.

We’re family and that’s what’s important! MR.TD

Now that Barrister RD Evans has cleared up confusion and Archibald Peck is back in CHIKARA, he will get his hands against "Mr. Touchdown" Mark Angelosetti at CHIKARA's Season 12 premiere, "All the Agents and Superhuman Crew", in Reading, PA on February 9th. Touchdown took Archibald Peck's valet Veronica as his girlfriend after defeating him in a "Loser Leaves Town" match back at "Chikarasaurus Rex: How to Hatch a Dinosaur." Since then, Peck masqueraded as The Mysterious and Handsome Stranger, racking up an impressive slew of wins. All was well with the Stranger until Touchdown murdered his bird Sapphire mid-ring at "Zelda The Great." Forget the girl, Touchdown killed the only friend the Stranger had. He finally got his comeuppance at "Under the Hood" where he ruined Veronica's Homecoming celebration and got to put his hands on Touchdown. Now that his true identity has been revealed, the inevitable showdown gets to open up CHIKARA's season. Who will win this very personal bout? Will it be the end of their issue, or just the beginning?
