I know I get caught bringing out what is wrong and the shortcomings of today's wrestling through my eyes. Sometimes I wonder why anyone who consistently moans about it still does it. I am no different, but instead of trying to fix the world I try to make sure that I improve. Here is a true story that really made me realize why I keep doing wrestling shows.
A nice little story I got to share with you. On July 9th, Tommy Rich wrestled at New Generation Wrestling, at the building there is a dressing area upstairs and one that is downstairs. I happened to get dressed upstairs and decided to walk downstairs to shake hands with the rest of the locker room. I walk in and Tommy Rich is discussing his match, with his opponent Chris Lexxus. They finish, I reach out to shake their hands and Tommy says" Is this the man who is going to hand you the gimmick?" Lexxus says "No, he is with the Chaos Effexx. I got this guy to hand it to me" Tommy looks at the guys and says "he isn't going out looking like that? You need someone like this man(pointing at me).
Needless to say, I took that as a great compliment. I exited stage left, I knew hanging out there would not get any better.Its kinda like doing a promo, hit your big line , get a reaction and then shut up.LOL.You know that I have concerns about looking/acting the role of a manager. I believe most times a manager should look special.I always remember what Jimmy Hart once said paraphrasing "If you dress like the people in the stands, one day you will be there"..
Its moments like that, make me smile it was like I got a big payday. I will happily take compliments from former World Champion anytime. I know by writing about this I know I won't forget about it.Wrestling should be fun, this will always remind me, no matter the show and what you do, people are watching you.
Please feel free to comment with a great wrestling encounter experience you may have had.You can also contact me on Facebook, if you wish to "friend" me just ask.
