Mike Bessler
Site Administrator mbessler@thewrestlingdaily.com
Mike is an advocate and an activist who is involved with a number of progressive groups and causes. Earlier this year, Mike founded a small independent publishing and distribution organization, Erythrós Press and Media. In July 2009, he published his first book: Red Youth: Young Heroes of the Great Patriotic War. Since 2005, Mike has maintained his personal blog, greeklish.org.
Mike is all about the “old school.” He longs for the days when there were two global superpowers, the Houston Oilers dominated the AFC Central and most people still believed that professional wrestling is real. He is hopelessly smitten with his wife of 13 years and they have two daughters.

Ray Bogusz
Chief Editor rbogusz@thewrestlingdaily.com
Ray Bogusz is The Wrestling Daily’s Chief Editor. He’ll receive his degree from Northern Illinois University in English and Education in August of 2010–thus allowing him to finally live out his dream of being an underpaid, inner city teacher. Ray has a long list of experience in the fields of editing and journalism, as well as a long resume of wrestling related content.
Ray is the one of two members of TWD’s Administrative Staff who isn’t married, but that’s okay since he probably can’t feed a wife or girlfriend anyway. He is currently working on a novel of his own, as well as giving editorial oversight to a historical work.
When he’s not on TWD, Ray enjoys golfing (poorly), reading, not understanding art, and writing his movie script parodying Burt Wolf’s “Travels and Traditions.” Exciting, right?

Jason Le Blanc
Content Director jleblanc@thewrestlingdaily.com
Jason graduated from Florida State University in 2006 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Creative Writing, and ever since that time, he’s been searching for the missing American Dream. He is presently a freelance writer who writes on subjects such as politics, popular culture, religion, sports, the arts, entertainment, and of course, professional wrestling.
He aspires to do three things before he dies, as it relates to writing: write a book and/or a novel, write a screenplay and then direct said screenplay, and write columns for a successful media outlet. Jason is presently working on a book based on his own journal entries and is also working on a screenplay based on his experiences working in the fantastic world of retail.
Jason is married to his beautiful wife of three years, Lauren, and can be found during his time away from The Wrestling Daily spending time with his family, reading, listening to music, watching films, and working out.

Adam Testa
Marketing Director atesta@thewrestlingdaily.com
Adam Testa is a professional writer with a serious interest in improving the online perception of professional wrestling and he has a sense of humor that is on par with that of the site’s founders. He received his Marketing Degree through Eastern Illinois University in 2007. Adam was a fan of wrestling during the Attitude Era of the WWE, but then fell away from it for several years. After brief stints of watching sports entertainment during his years at Eastern Illinois, he again checked out WWE but nothing really stuck. In the fall of 2007, Adam found himself back in the groove of being a pro wrestling fan, and discovered TNA a short time later. In addition to discovering an alternative product to the WWE, he also discovered an unsubstantiated, blind hatred of TNA by a large portion of the Internet’s infamous “Wrestling Community.” Adam will bring a TNA perspective with a loyal fan following from his other journalistic endeavors. Outside of wrestling journalism, Adam works as a professional journalist for a newspaper in Carbondale, Ill. In addition to writing, he produces online content and serves in a management role. He also dabbles in web design and production, publication design and the jazz (pronounced yazz, mind you) flute.
