From The Peanut Gallery
From the Peanut Gallery- Chairman Andrews' Retrospective on The Original Superstar... (especially in his own mind.)
"Back in the day, I used to write a column of news and views, rumors and such, called 'The Peanut Gallery'. I'm bringing it back, sort of, to get out more information on some of the key players in the DWF, not just the wrestlers, but the people behind the scenes, the announcers, backstage interviewers and people who really make the fed go... and hopefully not into the toilet..." - Chairman Andrews
'Wonderman' Waldo, from Pepper Pike, Ohio, began as a rookie wrestler, wanting to make a name for himself in the Defiant Wrestling Federation back in 1998. Waldo, not the best looking, most talented, or, quite honestly, athleticly gifted man, sought to break the mold. After one match, that mold broke... into pieces and Waldo became the benchmark for all DWF incoming wrestlers. Yes, virginia, Waldo was... and is THE Jobber in the DWF.
For the first 3 years in the DWF, Waldo made the best, and the worst, look like stars. Then in 2001, under the direction of myself and the Board Members, Waldo began to get more involved backstage, from running to get coffee, to delivering flowers to unsuspecting wrestlers, to even holding the mic for an interview. At the same time, Waldo became friends with another backstage member, 'Lighting Guy' Jimmy Floyd, another wrestler/jobber who has the heart of the lion but the size of a flea. Being cut from the same cloth, Waldo and Jimmy became inseparable, even winning the DWF Hardcore Title from each other under
the 24/7 rule of 2002. Waldo and Jimmy have also taken more duties than just as backstage talent, even running the entire show for one fateful night, and have formed the 'Two-Man PowerTrip' tag team, grabbing every chance they can to get in the ring.
Waldo has come full circle in his quest to become a superstar... and to the DWF, he's one of the most important yet underappreciated superstars. He is 'The Original Superstar' Wonderman Waldo.
