First of all, I would like to thank all the loyal fans and customers who have supported us. I don't mean to sound corny but their written inspirations is what has made this
newsletter survive.When I began this newsletter and organize events, people told me that it was a complete waste of time. Even after a hard day's work, writing about a great sport like wrestling was a welcome addition to my life. I hope that
our newsletter and products informs as well as entertain you. Starting in 1999, you will see a dramatic change in our newsletter. We have added on a few more people to the Real Deal family. The Real Deal Newsletter
began as a medium to inform anyone interested in wrestling about happenings around the world- both in the underground and in the mainstream. We have done everything to bring you the latest wrestling news from around the globe. Thanks to our
many writers (both in the US and overseas) and staff who have sacrificed their valuable time to bring you to the world of wrestling. Their efforts are greatly appreciated. We would like to thank the many who have
sent us fan mail. We do enjoy reading them and viewing your photos. I would especially like to thank Barbara Burge who sent us our very first fan letter. Thanks to your support, The Real Deal has gotten impressive recognition from many media
forums. We hope to continue in bringing you great coverage and products. We wish you a great and productive new year!
