man of 10000 holds's blog

In life, everyone has benchmarks. The life-changing events that affect us the most are the ones that we remember vividly, down to the exact date. Some of my wrestling benchmarks:

8/7/1997.....The day I met Bobby Heenan and decided to become a pro wrestler. I also came together that day with my wrestling workout/training partner, Kyle. We became THE JOCKS. Yes, we remain the greatest tag team of all time. :)

2/5/2000.....My first real pro match (GXW–Rossville, GA). I defeated my friend Kyle in a twelve minute match in front of 100 fans. Afterward, we both cried like babies backstage. We worked hard to get to that point.

2/15/2000.....I became the host of a weekly pro wrestling show airing in GA and eastern AL. Working with an Indie pro group was amazing. Those were some of the best days of my life.

Last night, I had a life benchmark. My Chicago Cubs finally won the World Series. Those who don't follow baseball will never understand my excitement. My wrestling friends all know how I feel this morning. I wondered if it would ever happen. Certainly a range of emotions.

Now that I can say "World Series Champion Chicago Cubs", I can concentrate on my other life passion: my love of wrestling. Opponents BEWARE!!
