I first met Adolfo Dorta about 15 years ago. He was a co-promoter of a horror-themed convention. He granted me a press pass and I did all I could to help promote the con.
Fast forward about 11 years, Adolfo left that convention to debut a wrestling convention. With him were his wife, Ed and Heather. This is the fabulous foursome, but today is all about Adolfo.
Part of me wonders how he did all of this. I know a lot about running conventions, but for Squared Circle Expo to be so successful in its debut and to gain popularity each year is an amazing achievement. I believe credit rolls uphill and all leads to Adolfo.
SCX is one of the best-run conventions of any sort. From each year's first announcements to the Sunday morning good-byes, SCX runs like a well-oiled machine, because it is one. While every con will have a wrinkle or two, I have never seen any big issues at SCX. That's because Adolfo and his crew have things so well-planned and are on site, knee-deep in the action.
I feel for Adolfo, because he works so hard at SCX. He even sacrifices his own pictures with the wrestlers because he is busy keeping things running smoothly. He is even hard for me to get for a selfie, but I work hard to get one, because he is every bit as important and memorable at each event as any of the wrestlers. I am also proud to call him friend. Surround yourself with quality peopl. Adolfo is one of the best and I will always do anything I can to help him, even if I don't go to the event.
Make no mistake though, I will be "On the Beat" at SCX V. I hope to see you there. For more info on SCX, go to squaredcirclex.com.
