So my friend and I won this trip to Wrestlemania and it was pretty awesome. I don’t even really know how to write about it. I mean, it just kept getting better and better as the week wore on. The first night it was drinking in the bar with legends like Vader, Sgt. Slaughter, Dory Funk Jr. and Jim Ross. Drunk Vince saying things to the Uso brothers and Santino Marella that made them think I wasn’t that cool. Drunk Vince striking up a conversation with a stranger and finding out he is the CFO of WWE (!). Then the next day having lunch with Mick Foley and having WWE.com write a story about how lame Graeme and I are. Then Saturday meeting some new Canadian buds then going to the WWE Hall of Fame hammered and drunk dialing my parents to tell them I love them (complete with tears). THEN Wrestlemania. THEN having lunch with four WWE divas who, btw, died for my pictures of Nolan. Oh, and then going to Raw and having a legendary night with my Brotherhood of Broskis. It was… awesome, crazy, legendary, amazing, everything.
I can’t even begin to write a recap of it, but I think this about sums it up.
Oh, and also this:
Best in the world!!!!
This is the kind of post that is probably only interesting to me, but the kind I feel that i have to write because it has been weighing heavily on my mind. In the past few weeks I have been watching Raw every week and Smackdown, TNA and NXT whenever I get the chance. Been playing way too much TEW. I’ve read the Dynamite Kid’s book, I’ve read Bret Hart’s book. I’ve also re-subscribed to F4WOnline and been reading the Wrestling Observer like the bible. What can I say? I’m an obsessive person. At a friends house for Wrestlemania I suddenly realized something that I’ve never really thought about before and that’s that I know more about wrestling than I know about just about anything else. I can remember the days when I could say the complete ECW title histories off the top of my head, the main event to every Wrestlemania (which I could probably still do, really) and all sorts of random, useless stuff like that. A lot of that has faded, but a whole lot more of it hasn’t. I don’t think I’m being facetious when I say that I know more about wrestling than anyone I know. I’m definitely not bragging, but it’s just something that is. I don’t know what made me realize this, but maybe it was seeing Bret Hart back on Raw for the first time since 1997 that did it.
