ABOUT THE WEBMASTER
Before I get into why I like TNM, here's a quick biography about me. My name is Darren Michael Bongiovanni. I was born on Saturday, July 18, 1981 in Franklin General Hospital to Sal and Carol Bongiovanni. I have an older brother named Peter, who's 4 years older than me. I had a good childhood with a good education. I went to St. Helen's Grammar School for 8 years, from 1987 to 1995. I then went to Archbishop Molloy High School, from 1995 to 1999. By the way, this same school produced Chris Kanyon and Justin Credible. I, then went to Saint John's University, originally with a degree in Pharmacy, but switched to Computer Science, halfway through, where I learned Programming and Web Development. I was in St. John's, the same school Bubba Dudley graduated from, from 1999 to 2003. Right now, while I'm looking for a real job, I work in my local Blockbuster. Now that I told you my personal story, here's my wrestling biography.
In the fall of 1998, I was on the internet, searching for wrestling sites, when I found a site called TNM7.com. I read about it and it looked like my dreams came true. I always wanted to be a wrestling promoter and now I can be one, without using action figures. I tried TNM out with the trial version and I loved it. I purchased it in October of 1998. This was when World Championship Wrestling Federation was born. Now you're wondering how can that be if the first title changes happened in July of 1998 at WCWF Genesis. I'll admit that event is as real as Pat Patterson's Intercontinental Championship Tournament win in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil in 1979. I made it up because I forgot the beginning history of the WCWF. I wrote down the results starting with Survivor Series 1998. I always write down the results of my events in a notebook. In fact, I have gone through 3 notebooks in the 4 year history of the WCWF. I lost the first 2 years of the company when my father re-formatted the hard drive, deleting TNM in the process. Luckily, I had my notebook to go back on for the Pay-Per-View History. I always read other people's post on the TNM Registered Users' Board. I put the WCWF there and then when people complained about circuit results on the board, I moved my results along with everyone else to a TNM Board. When one board shut down, I followed everybody else to the new board, where I posted until I stopped using TNM last year. In 2001, the WCWF developed a cult following. So instead of just posting previews of the Pay-Per-Views and then the results, I started posting my TV Shows. In the same year, the WCWF was online, when Flipside, then known as Enigma, put the WCWF on his website. Then he didn't have the time to keep up with the site, so I continued to post on the message board. Then in early-2002, all of sudden, I became so busy with school and work, that TNM was put on the back-burner. I read other people's cards and would post responses once and a while, but the WCWF was out of business. Then, in the winter of 2002-2003, I started to post the WCWF, but only with the Pay-Per-Views, instead of the TV Shows. This time, I also debuted the DZW, as a developmental promotion for the WCWF. At this time, while I was in school, I learned how to make a web page, and started to create this site your looking at right now. As I was getting back to normal and the WCWF was going strong, TNM7 Second Edition came out. This put a new spin on the WCWF as TNM was becoming popular again. Just when everything was going smoothly, my TNM got corrupted and I couldn't run my circuits. After a few months, Oliver Copp fixed my TNM and sent it back to me. It's working fine now, except I have to import all my wrestlers, but thankfully Oliver fixed the problem without deleting my circuits. So, the WCWF and DZW can continue right where I left off. It is a simulator, so even though we are now in 2008, I can still simulate wrestling from 2003. That's what I like about TNM. You can do anything you want from any period in time, with any wrestlers you want. It's the perfect example of fantasy wrestling.
Now, it's time for the acknowledgements. First, I like to thank my family for putting up with my
crap, being obsessed with wrestling for 17 years. I thank them for
allowing me to take up their time and their computer to do what I love.
Also, I like to thank them for buying me my own computer, so I didn't have
to use their computer any more. I like to thank Oliver Copp for inventing
the greatest program in computer history, TNM, as well as all of his
plug-ins. I like to thank all of the people that have created plug-ins and
exports for TNM. I like to thank Vince McMahon for creating the phenomenon
known as WrestleMania, which got me hooked on wrestling. I like to thank
Russ, Brandon, both Matts (Harms and Doyle), and anyone else who has stood with the
WCWF in the good times and the bad times, for responding to my cards and
giving me good advice that I use to keep the WCWF the best promotion it
is. I also like to thank the sites on my links page for helping me in
those ways mentioned. Once again, thank you to everyone from the bottom of
my heart, for supporting me and the WCWF. I hope you continue to support
me and the WCWF. Thank you again. I hope you enjoyed this look at the
webmaster.
