Gregory Helms, ECW's Nubber One Announcer! LOL So I'm getting bombarded with emails, messages, comments and tweets asking me about my new position on ECW (that's on Tues nights on Sci-Fi for those in the Land of the Lost) and what it entails for my future. Well a wise man once said, "You don't really have to plan for the future, cuz it's gonna happen anyway!" 
But then again, there's nothing wrong with a little preparation. Being an announcer is just another part of this business that I wanted to try and that I think I'll be good at. I've always prided myself on being good no matter what roll I was in, be it a great roll or one of less-than-stellar proportions. I've always been underrated when people mention mic skills despite the fact that I'm almost mostly known for my promo's, especially The Hurricane one's! LOL Strange huh? Anyway, I think my first interview went damn good, and I think I'm only going to get better. As for what this means for any in-ring activity, honestly, only time will tell. Injuries aside, I've been on TV in one capacity or another for over 10 years now. That's a career to be proud of in my opinion. Either way, I'm excited about the future and I hope my fans are as well.
On to a few quickies:
- - The Watchmen is still the best movie I've seen in a while. I thought it was extremely good but I will concede that it probably went over a lot of people's heads. One of my friends said to me, "It just seemed kinda political." I replied, "Yeah, it was supposed to be, thanks for playing!"
- - Speaking of books, my latest read was "The First Apostle" by James Becker. Pretty good, in a DaVinci Code sort of way. Chelsae Handler's books were also very good, and very funny! Currently reading "The Alexader Cipher" by Will Adams. Awaiting the arrival of Dean Koontz's "Frankenstein 3" and Vicki Pettersson's "City of Souls" both coming in July. Although in Koontz's case, it's been so long since the first two came out that I can barely remember what happened.
-- Fedor: Is still the man! With all respect to Dana White, Fedor is the best Heavyweight in the world.
- - And Manny Pacquiao vs Ricky Hatton? Wow! What a shot!
- - I finally got to meet Evander Holyfield. My all-time favorite boxer attended WrestleMania 25. I was at the "curtain" waiting to go out for the lumberjack tag-team title match, which should be included on the DVD when it's released, and as I'm standing there I see Evander walk in. And now I get a little flustered, cuz the match is about to start, but I have seriously been a fan of Evander since I was like 12-13 years old! I wasn't a late bangwagon jumper, I always thought Evander was gonna beat Tyson and I rubbed it in all my friends faces when he did. So anyway, I run over to get a pic, but of course I got no cam with me cuz I'm in gear. Referree Scott Armstrong gets me to take a pic of himself with Evander, which I do, but when I ask Scott to return the favor his battery dies! Arghhh!!!!! But luckily, who comes to save the day?? Little Natch himself, Charles Robinson! I take the pic, inform Evander of how he made my broke ass some money back in the day, and then I run back to the curtain for the match! Sh-sh-shhhhhweeet!!
- - A funny story from Wrestlemania the previous year, that would be 24 for those who need the assist, I was introduced to Kim Kardasian and had absolutely NO IDEA who she was. I thought she was just another chick trying to get a job. LOL It's a strange world where you're around hot chicks so much that you kinda get immune to them. Dating VS has a lot to do with that as well.
Well that's all I got for now, if you got questions, check out my Q and A blog on my myspace profile. Also check out www.gregoryhelms.com as it has been updated again and looks great. Also, check me out on Twitter at www.twitter.com/HurricaneHelms and become one of my Twitizens, and yeah, I coined that phrase!
PS: Go see Wolverine!

Yay so finally moving into a new house, it's big enough or my bro n I n his girl, and has a big back yard for the pups. I'm so glad were going to be living together again. And that I'm geting back in tough with some old friends from back home. I think it will be fun to get back with my old friends from high school so weird how I lost touch with while i was on the road so long.
So I freaking love tht new Lily Allen song on y page. It rules. So I had an apearance this week with Kim Kardashian and Kendra Wilkinson in Acupolco Mexico, for the E! chanel and........it got canceled cuz of the damn swine flu!!!
I'm kinda terrified of it, I have no shame from now on I'm wearing a f'ing dr mask, this thing is dangerous, theres cases popping u all over the place ahhhhhhhhh id ont wanna get swine flu matter of fact I want nothing to do with anythign that begins with swine. What an ugly word. haha.
So I was gonna see if any of my punkies could help me out, I'm doing a project with some lil ones to help rescue animals that are basically on deathrow. Were going to try and get them adopted, so Im actually looking for some groups /i could join i NC NY etc that would like some volunteers to actively pursue finding these animals a home. Any ideas would be great or if anyone would like to join let me know maybe we could make it a nation wide thing, not the swine though, wel leave them be haha. So yes it was the lil ones ideas but I loved it and told them I would help in any way I could so I'm getting started on that.
I've been filming a few things and doont start permenantly for nother month or so so /i have a couple weeks to do some fun stuff personally. and do some appearaces. i have a BUNCH coming up all over for my birthday, thnaks by the way for the early bday wihes. So once I get the stats on that I will post cuz it woudld be awesome to see you there!!!
So some crappy stuff happened utt I'm trying to rise above it alland be happy anyway but I stil am pretty pissed, I got robbed check fraud. Sucks. I was mega disappointed. But just cant wait to get on the move. Really miss talkin ad seeing you guys out so I promise it wontbe longefore I'm back on the rd doing app's and saying what up.
