"Hau Kola" Hello! I hope you are doing well upon visiting my Official Site NativeTatanka.com. As we are now coming out of Winter I want to wish everyone a very successful Spring as we approach Summer. After starting off with a busy 1Q in 2012 my 2Q is gearing up to be a very busy time for me. I want to thank you and all of my loyal supporters that follow me daily here and through my Tatanka Facebook Page and also at my Official Twitter Account. I'm really excited about my current position in this industry and looking forward to making some official announcements real soon. I want to express congratulations to WWE for an awesome record breaking WrestleMania 28 PPV. This PPV outperformed everyone's expectations with a Sold-Out Crowd at Sun Life Stadium with  a new attendance record of 78,363 with WrestleMania XXVIII, which was larger than the Super Bowl!

WrestleMania 28 also became the #1 Social Media Event of 2012 with Twitter trending worldwide about the event and the WWE Superstars that were involved. It was also the highest-grossing entertainment event at Sun Life Stadium at $8.9 million, eclipsing U2 on June 29, 2011 at $7.5 million. This marks the third consecutive year WrestleMania broke the gross entertainment event record of the host venue. Everyone involved in this great business from you the fans, wrestlers worldwide and third party wrestling companies should be excited. WWE also followed up with a very hot Monday Night Raw the following night after WrestleMania, which myself along with other seasoned people in this industry know that this business is definitely on the rise; stock is up baby!   WWE's April 2nd LIVE Raw televised event was the best TV production for a RAW in a long time with the addition of UFC Former Champion Brock Lesnar. There will be more surprises with talent in the upcoming weeks and months. Enjoy the wave that has begun and pray that a second viable wrestling company steps up to truly share in this billion dollar industry of Sports Entertainment.

Shortly after WrestleMania 28 we loss a dear friend and my personal mentor, WWE Hall Of Famer Chief Jay Strongbow. I send my deepest regards to his immediate family and all those that were close to Chief Jay. When I started with WWF/WWE in 1990 Chief Jay and myself became very close quickly. We both took a liking to each other and since he along with Chief Wahoo had paved the way for Native American wrestlers he had a lot of knowledge to pass on. I thank him for all the knowledge he gave me and also the doors he opened for me at WWF/WWE. He's truly a star that helped so many in this industry and will be remembered for sure as one of the greats! One of my greatest memories of Chief Jay Strongbow and myself is revealed in the picture of us to the left. This picture was taken during a LIVE Monday Night Raw where I wrestled WWF/WWE Superstar Kwang, who blinded me with his trademark mouth spray and then IRS took advantage of the moment and entered the ring to add insult to injury and then tie me up in the ring ropes. Then onto the scene as my mentor and aid came Chief Jay Strongbow but in the end IRS got the best of Chief and destroyed the sacred gift given to me by my tribe, a sacred long trail headdress. This picture began one of the heated issues in WWF/WWE between IRS and myself. The IRS Feud began with this picture and one in which is still remembered today. Thank you Chief Jay and you will always be remembered as you are, a WWE Hall Of Famer and a true friend!

 
As always, "Pilamia Yelo" Thanks
and
God Bless you!
