Summertime Blues


Not sufficient fishing. Not sufficient swimming. Not sufficient BBQing. I miss when Summertime was all about staying up late, watching trash TV and operating round with your mates. This summer time has been continuous…or at the least it appears. I lastly pressured myself to decelerate the final week or so.

INDEPENDENCE DAY WEEKEND

Had just a few mates come up for the 4th of July vacation weekend, however did not have a lot time to hang around as I needed to prep my ring for takedown and set-up on the native Group Competition. My buddy runs the occasion and requested if I’d placed on some wrestling for them. It was a tense time – the EXACT OPPOSITE of how I like my Independence Day. I actually get into 2 holidays – that is Christmas & the times round July 4th…even my bday is not as well-liked with me as these days (or instances of yr).

Anyway, the occasion was extra tense than I’d’ve appreciated. It was an exquisite summer time day, not too sizzling, however the wrestlers appeared to not take the occasion as critical as I believed they need to. Now I get it, it is a small city 4th of July neighborhood days fashion occasion. A number of hundred folks, however we had been the leisure. All eyes had been on us and this was alternative to showcase what we do in entrance of people that do not sometimes have this expertise. 

The spotlight was after I was ARRESTED BY THE COPS! I’ve at all times been a fan of old-school wrestling stunts – a wrestler ripping up a followers signal, a wild drunk fan leaping within the ring and the dangerous man wrestlers getting escorted out of the constructing in handcuffs. Initially I figured I might be the nice man (the babyface) since I truly spent just a few good years of my childhood only a mile from the fairgrounds. Actually, I received Most Critical Expression after I was a child. That is proper – I used to be a champion from the beginning 🙂 In the event you get an opportunity try my professional wrestling twitter (however please be applicable) to see the image of me getting lifted within the air and handcuffed on the occasion. My buddy has some video footage and a drone shot of it. Once I get a while I will put it collectively so that you can see.

I’M A TV STAR AGAIN 😉

I had lots to do the subsequent day as I made the 8 hour drive (after all, it took longer than that) to Upstate New York to do some “further work” at a giant league wrestling promotion. I did not get to wrestle, which was a bit shocking to be trustworthy. Hopefully subsequent time – and hopefully prior to later. I am operating out of miles on these boots. 

I did spend about 10 hours wandering round backstage, getting skilled pictures taken, consuming some high-quality catering and having many awkward interactions. I am undecided if it was the annoyance of strangers coming as much as you or the dearth of social expertise or perhaps it is simply the “enterprise” nevertheless it made me giggle (and generally unhappy) that a few of these guys went out of their solution to flip away when somebody went to say hi there or acknowledge them in passing. 

Spent most the evening out and in of the catering room or filling seats. I gotta inform ya, if this wrestling factor would not work out then I am gonna go professional at being a fan. In the event you get an opportunity to see any of the episodes I used to be seat-filling on you then’ll see me HOOTIN-AND-HOLLERING!

Was a cool expertise even bought to take a seat subsequent to a WRESTLING LEGEND that I watched as a child whereas watching the TV present dwell backstage. The 16+ hour drive there and again was brutal. 2 Nights in a resort. No ring time. It burnt me out. I believe subsequent I wanna do film or tv present work. Have you learnt easy methods to go about that?

CURRENTLY

Since then it has been per week plus of recovering and being lazy excluding one different professional wrestling reserving in opposition to a pair mates. It was straightforward. It was enjoyable. It was time. 

I am simply getting again round to getting again into work mode – even did a shoot in Las Vegas with a pair new guys. I believe you may like these guys. 

WHAT’S NEXT

The remainder of the summer time is gonna embrace some fishing, some extra shoots and a few wrestling. We’ll have the ring again up in my yard subsequent week for extra follow time with mates. I have been getting a TON of recent gear for professional and hero stuff, so this fall I plan to do extra with that.

As effectively, I will be doing a little small occasions round New England earlier than coming again to the Tampa space this Fall the place I plan to do weekly occasions in October underneath a Halloween theme. Any concepts to make this higher?

Drew has are available burning sizzling on the underground wrestling scene and has picked up a number of data.

Hell, I’ve additionally been holding again in opposition to these others. Some actual competitors could wake me up and reveal what has been hidden inside me for too lengthy – ANOTHER LEVEL!
