     He is the Man With The Perfect Plan. America’s No. 1 Press Agent, Gus Grand.
He has been milling around the ECWA for over 4 years and is always looking for great talent to represent. ECWA fans get an opportunity to see Mr. Grand not only in the role of a manager/press agent for talents, but from time to time he puts on the wrestling trunks to mix it up in the squared circle. He always has his card ready to hand to anyone who will accept it, and loves to do his promo work in rhymes which tend to be quite entertaining. Behind the glitz and glitter of being a press agent and in ring talent, Gus also works very hard behind the scenes of the ECWA. He is an up and coming young talent whom our fans have watched grow over the past couple of years. Gus Grand is looking for that big talent to represent and maybe in 2009 that talent will come along. I had the opportunity to ask ECWA’s resident Press Agent a few questions. I hope you enjoy!
