OK, I'm at a midlife crisis. I'm approaching 40, so I still think I can do things I used to do 2 decades ago. Not that I was all that good at much of anything back then, either.
Then I have my wife telling me I'm getting old, I'm going to get hurt...doing the one thing I'm perfect in. And that's....here comes the punch line...PRO WRESTLING!
Sad but true, I'm like the Undertaker at Wrestlemania...undefeated and 6-0 at Blizzard Brawl. This year, in my "retirement" match, they wouldn't go easy on me. If I wanted to quit, I had to beat 3 wrestlers in a gauntlet match.
Obviously I won...but the way I won? You have to check out the wardrobe and the hilarity on the video link.
And final thing...I've been asked about the gold trunks. I had blue tights with black tiger stripes to match the robe. But 10 minutes before show time, the zipper broke. Since they kept falling down, I had bad visions of me being on You Tube all over the world with my pants around my knees mid-match!
Big thanks to Great Lakes Championship Wrestling Commissioner Dave Herro, true pro Al Snow for showing me the ropes, and Eric Freedom, El Vato and Bobby V for showing me who's boss before I beat them!
