Marty Returns to RAW 2/22/06

By, Bobby Sanford. On Monday night my trainer Marty Jannetty returned to Raw. All I can say is simply amazing! I hadn't even planned on watching Raw, but while I worked out on the treadmill at Gold's Gym I decided I would watch and that's when it happened Shawn Michaels was getting beat up by the Spirit Squad and Marty Jumped out of the crowd to make the save. I was happy about that, so happy that I am going to start finishing opponents off with the the Rocker Dropper, maybe not.

Mr. Education Predicts

January 6, 2005 Official Statement

In 2006 I am finally where I want to be and that is wrestling as a fan favorite again, for some reason fans like me regardless anyways. This year I will simply showcase my abilities more and more, I continue to improve I have realized this from years of playing sports. My trainer Marty Jannetty has taught me a lot over the past two years and I plan to put those concepts into play this year.

I look forward to more stiff competition and also I look to excel in all aspects of professional wrestling. I really feel that right now I am at the top of my game and I can compete with any one on any level. Now it's up to me to prove this in the ring.

GAWF Title Turmoil

To Everyone: October 25, 2005

First off, I don't condone being booked for a wrestling event and not appearing, unfortunately professional wrestling is a business and sometimes things happen that are beyond my control. This is a very "political business," is a saying that is tossed around by so many. There are a lot of people out there who don't know me, but one thing I want people to know is that I am an ethical person, and I am not going to sit by and watch one of my friends get screwed over. If it was up to me I would have been at the Great American Wrestling Show to defend the belt.

I appreciate the fact that Skip Skipperman called me ahead of time to let me know what the deal was and for that I thank him because some promoters will wait until it's to tell you the deal. I had actually worked out a better deal with another promotion with the help of my advisor Marty Jannetty, but the negotiations fell through at the last minute. There are no hard feelings, and I am sure Mr. Education will return to the GAWF in the future.

GAWF Heavyweight Championship means a lot to me however it is not the only championship I currently hold. I am the Florida Wrestling Alliance heavyweight champion as well, and the last Capital City Wrestling Cruiserweight champion. I have no idea what went on at the GAWF show, but as far as I am concerned I am still the champion and eventually things will work out in a way so that I can actually have the opportunity to defend that title (I hope). If I don't get a chance to defend the title that's fine as well.

Trust me I can go to any wrestling promotion on the Indy scene right now and outwrestle at least 95 percent of the roster, that's not a knock on any one, but it's how I train. Monday thru Friday I train; lifting weights, wrestling in the ring, running with the track team or working on balance and agility drills. A great man once said, "I don't care if you love me or hate me, but you will respect me."

I am sorry for any inconvenience that I have caused any one, but look for me on October 8 in Chipley for the American Wrestling Federation Chipley.

Sincerely,

Bobby Sanford "Mr. Education"

6/23/05 Mr. Education vs. Jack Tattum on June 25

CHIPLEY, FLA- The rivalry continues in the American Wrestling Federation as Mr. Education prepares to take on the extremely agile Jack Tattum. This match, which has been signed by the AWF will mark the first time that these two have ever had a one on one confrontation.

Tattum, formerly of Capital City Wrestling's G-Unit with his brother Eric who regularly teams with Sanford, has been in the ring with Sanford in tag action and a four way and each time these guys have gone move for move and hold for hold. The match in Chipley will determine who really is as Sanford likes to say the cream of the crop, which rises to the top.

Jack Tattum has trained with Sanford on numerous occasions and these two men are not strangers to each other at all, this match should be one for the record books, but where does Eric "Entertainment Tonight" Tattum stand in this feud?

I will admit I was wrong for turning my back on Marty in that tag match against Sermon and Britain, but I needed to see just how good he really was as an individual wrestler.
