I have a long history as a rasslin fan. When I was a kid I grew up watching Texas whatever (the Vonerichs? etc..) and the NWA. I loved the Road Warriors and went to see a few big events and I have pics of the 4 Horseman in line in front of me at McDonalds before a match.
Fast forward and I was out of touch with rasslin for 10+ yrs until my boys started watching Raw about 6 months ago. So we watch Raw religiously and the Raw show you watched last week from Kansas City...we were at. We saw Alberto tool on Cena And CM Punk with that chair from 15 rows back. It was cool seeing how much fun my kids were having.

i have a long herstory (chick history get it!!) as a wrestler
1989 i started wrestling for WFWA under Tony Condello (canada).. wrestled Stampede under the Harts, auditioned for GLOW, wrestled LPWA (ladies professional wrestling association)... tried out for the Fed back in the day.. didnt have big enough tits..
wrestled Luna Vachon, Mulah, DaisyMae lol... did the Northern Indian Reserve Tours on the ice roads...
trained with Test, Chris Jherico, Rowdy Roddy Piper! ..
i worked the show the British Bulldog did in Winnipeg, then Brandon, then he died the next day
actually, have many friends burried with spandex shorts .. the movie "the wrestler" is pretty bang on..
Grew up watching it with my dad. Was a pretty big fan until my dad passed away in 07. Don't watch it much these days. I have some friends in wrestling that I have not seen in a while though. Thanks to a neighbor who's cousin is Jerry Lawler I had the opportunity to meet, and work out with some of the top guys for a while. I also worked security at many local events for both WWE and Mid south pro wrestling.
