NEW ORLEANS (HSPN) - As time ticks away in this his final year of his wrestling career, “Simply Sensational” Simon Lyman is doing things he doesn’t normally do. While on the popular New Orleans sports podcast “Sportstalk with Robby H”, Lyman was asked who he feels are the favorites in the upcoming “Talking Hold of the Flame” battle royal in Supreme Championship Wrestling, and Lyman did not mince words. “There is only one favorite this year, Robby, and that is me. I came to SCW 13 years ago as a multiple time battle royal winner to receive world championship opportunities in other promotions so I know what I need to do to win it. “Taking Hold of the Flame” is one the premium events in all of professional wrestling, the battle royal is something I have always wanted to win, and this year is my last chance so I will get this done, because I have to.” When asked if he was making a prediction, something he has never done, Lyman was quick to add, “I don’t make predictions Robby, you know that, but this a guarantee, “I Simon Lyman, will win the 2026 “Taking Hold of the Flame” battle royal…and it is going to “Be Sensational!”

Hi all,

Sorry for disappearing for a few days - I was away at a conference for a few days and had originally figured I'd have more time (A lot of people travel for a day and leave, so outside of the conference events, networking is usually limited; that turned out not to be the case as there were a few overlapping conferences with people I know).

Hubris is being worked on. I hope to have it up on Tuesday. I will then look at the schedule and set it up for the remainder of the run to Rise to Greatness.

The good news is that once I finish an event today and then another next Wednesday, my commitments for this past year are done. I am then essentially overseeing a course for the next couple of weeks and can focus on writing SCW and also hopefully relaxing a bit.

So I apologize again for the last two months where things have been even more all over the place schedule wise than usual, but we should get settled down to have a hell of a run to Rise to Greatness, before taking our summer break, and then diving into a new season.
