About our guests: Michael Amo, a founding member of Thorofan, has been a Thoroughbred horseracing enthusiast for over 30 years. In 1978, a friend took him to the Belmont Stakes and he was soon hooked. He is a co-owner of a health care consulting business and a published author and an elected County Legislator in Orange County, New York since 1998, where he has served on a range of statutory committees including the Legislature’s Off-Track Betting Committee. The combination of his love for racing, management skills, not-for-profit experience and political acumen led to his co-founding of ThoroFan. Dr. Bryan Langlois, a board member of Thorofan, is a resident of Pennsylvania and a veterinarian, who became a racing fan for life at the age of 10 when “Brian’s Time” ran in the Triple Crown races of 1988. In 1989, the Triple Crown battles of Easy Goer and Sunday Silence cemented him as a lifelong fan of the sport. Witnessing the horrific breakdown of Go For Wand in the 1990 Breeders’ Cup Distaff at Belmont Park ignited his passion to become a veterinarian.

Happy New Year from everyone here in the All Star Wrestling Federation! Join us this week as we get you ready for "New Beginnings New Horizons" Live from the Valiant Area. When we last left you at the end of Hostile Holidays we had just witnessed Lone Justice pull off the upset over the Maniae and Pure Xcellence. What is next for these two young men as we head into 2020? And even though it may be a new year not everything has changed as we witnessed Josh Cross retain the ASWF Championship. Who will be the next challenge to "The Original Misfit"? Speaking of challenges we witnessed two tag teams go through an AMAZING tournament to crown themselves tag team champions. Jake Black and X Kaliber shocked the wrestling world in winning over Garion and Gaston. But there will be no automatic rematch in this situation as after the contest Garion Tyr shocked EVERYONE by viciously attacking Gaston. After weeks and weeks of shocking attacks finally Steve O and Kid Krazzy stepped in the ring in a ladder match. Steve O was able to secure another accolade to his impressive resume as he won the Evolution Championship. But this issue seems far far from being resolved between not only the combatants but their representation. Speaking of an issue that is FAR from being resolved we decided very little in the contest between Heinzman and Kristian Kross. What has the first event of 2020 have in store for these two individuals.....or whatever you call Heinzman. Justin Venson finally dispatched of this masked assailant that had been torturing him and his brother for months and months.The joy of victory quickly gave way to heartbreak and confusion as Daniel Venson viciously attacked his brother and left him laying! We have a NEW Mr Golden Ticket "The Big Man" K. Toomer won the opening battle royal to claim the prize. No one in the ASWF can feel safe as Toomer may has the entire roster firmly in his sites!
