Got the call I've been waiting for this morning! Medication Blood Levels are back to normal. Which basically means this was a fluke seizure! So, with that I can drive again! So, if anybody would like to come to Omaha to get beaten up, bring it on!!!

Well guys.... good news! There are no restrictions on my activities. HOWEVER......a blood test has been ordered....if the levels are normal, then the seizure was a fluke and I will be driving by this weekend! if the levels are low however, the seizure was caused by low levels and changes need to be made. If that is the case, I will not be driving for a little longer. However, I will be back in action very soon.... so jobbers beware!

Ok, guys......a little update. My manager and I reviewed the security footage and it was indeed a grand mal seizure. Until the paramedics arrived, I had been out of it for around 10 minutes. I did not regain full situational awareness until soon after arrival at the hospital. I have an appointment with the neurologist on Tuesday. Will post another update after that.

This was the scene at the store as the paramedics were getting ready to remove me from the building, obviously, I'm the one sitting on the ground hunched over
Thanks for all your support, and I hope to be wrestling again soon.

Hey guys, I'm not 100% sure where this is going to leave me, but here it goes:
This past Wednesday, February 26th, I suffered a major epileptic seizure while I was at work. I was assisting a customer, and the next thing I knew, I was on the ground with the Assistant Store Manager and paramedics standing over me. After being conscious for a few minutes, I passed out again, and didn't come back around until at least 30 minutes later when I was in the emergency room at the hospital. It wasn't until I awoke in the hospital that I was told what happened.
Now, I will be returning to work, but I won't be driving until further notice. Don't know where this whole incident will leave me as far as wrestling goes.... will provide further updates as they come.
Thanks for your understanding.

Hey guys, just doing a little look at my favorites list and trying to decide who to keep on there and who not to. Not meant to be personal at anybody, but since I'm limited to 100 favorites, I can't keep everybody, and I am constantly seeing new guys I want to keep in touch with. So whether you're still interested or not, let me know.

Well guys, I've finally arrived in Omaha and are ready to conquer another state! Hope you can either make the trip or visit anybody in Omaha or the Council Bluffs/Lincoln areas. Hit me up! Read my profile of course. I know plenty of hotels in the area!

We officially moved out of our house in Greendale, WI today. We are staying overnight in a hotel tonight and will depart for Omaha tomorrow morning. Once again, I would like to thank all of the WI and IL guys who I met up with over the last 8 years for the memories. I am looking forward to making new friends and destroying new victims in Nebraska and Iowa. Won't be taking any opponents until after September 16th due to a settling in period as well as going on a trip to Disney World. Once again, thanks Wisconsin for 8 years of memories and destruction!

Well guys, moving day is 1 week away. Thanks to all the guys I've wrestled over the last 8 years in WI and IL. Looking forward to meeting many more in Nebraska. However, if you want to come to Omaha for a match, let me know.

Well, guys... moving day is only 3 weeks away. It's been a wild ride, but with so much to do plus my final work shifts, I have decided that I will not be crossing the southern border to IL. To all my IL jobbers, thanks for the memories. To any guys still in WI, I will be ending my WI matches 2 weeks from today. Anybody who can travel, looking forward to seeing you in Omaha.

Ok, guys. An offer on a house in Omaha has been submitted. Once the offer has been accepted, closing will be on August 15th with moving day set for August 20th. So all of you IL guys.... better move it!

Well guys..... my time here in Milwaukee is creeping to a close.... once I return from Omaha around July 15th, I will have a moving date set. However, a tentative scenario would have me moving to Omaha at the end of August.....so if you want to meet up while I'm still in Milwaukee.... (as the old saying goes) speak now or forever hold your peace.

I would like to thank all the guys who have wrestled me over the last 8 years here in Milwaukee and in Northern IL. I will miss you guys a ton!

Ok, guys..... here's the timeline between now and moving day. It's only 4 months away...... so running out of time to meet with guys in states surrounding Lake Michigan.
Upcoming key dates:
July 3-14th: in Omaha house hunting
August 2-5th: in Phillips, WI for brief vacation
September 7-14th: Orlando, FL for Disney World trip.
Moving day will be somewhere between September 20th and October 1st.
So if you wanna meet up in Milwaukee.... (or northern IL).... hit me up ASAP!
Keep in mind.... moving date is tentative and will be determined after the July trip.

With the move to Nebraska a mere 6 months away, I have been making a lot of different preparations. This post is not meant to be critical of anybody in particular, but is mainly directed at the ones on my favorites and fans lists:

For those of you who live in states neighboring or near WI, (in particular IL, IN, OH) I want to find out if you are still interested in meeting up. As I said, in 6 months time, I will be relocating to Nebraska. I know you lead busy lives, but I still want to know if you are still interested. These next 6 months will be flying by very quickly!

Whether you are still interested or not, please let me know ASAP!

Hey guys. A lot of stuff has been going on lately with the death in the family and a lot of other stuff, but I just wanted to give you guys an update on the next chapter in my life:
It is now official......... in Spring of 2020 my guy and I will be relocating to Omaha, Nebraska. So what that means for you guys in Wisconsin, Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, and Minnesota..... we'd better get meeting up sometime this year! However, this year is also going to be busy for me...... here's what's on the itinerary for the rest of this year:
Feb 21-24th- Naples, FL- Non wrestling trip:
July 4-14th- Omaha, NE- non wrestling trip.
August 2-5th- Phillips, WI-non wrestling trip
September 7-14th- Orlando, FL- technically a non-wrestling trip, however, since we won't be hitting the parks until Monday the 9th..... who knows.
Thanksgiving and Christmas- non-wrestling trips.
These are just to give you a guideline on when we might be able to meet up. Anybody outside of the midwest, we'll play it by ear. If you guys have any questions, let me know.

Sorry it took me so long to write this, I'm still trying to process it myself.
Two days before Christmas during my annual Christmas trip to Omaha, Nebraska, word reached us that my mom's second cousin (named Frank) had suffered a heart attack in Germany. He was rushed to the hospital, and put on life support and a medically induced Coma. Now Frank was like a brother to mom, and also like an uncle to me. Even though we only saw each other once a year (at Thanksgiving) that time was so well spent. At around 6pm Central time (1:00am German time) on Christmas Eve, my parents' dog let out a bark and a sad whimper. A few minutes later, we got a text message from Frank's wife saying he had passed away. This put a somber note on Christmas, but we managed to power through it. We have no word yet on the funeral arrangements, but all I can say is that any matches in January will not be happening.
Thank you all for your support.

Hey guys. For the last 7 years of my life, I have lived in Greendale, Wisconsin, a suburb of Milwaukee. Before that I was born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska. Well, after talking things over with both my husband (Don't let that keep you from meeting up with me btw) and my parents, we have decided that it is time to move back to where I began my journey- Omaha, Nebraska.

Now this move will not be happening until May of 2020, so there is still plenty of time to get matches in next year. Unfortunately, the rest of 2018 is shot, due to preparing for the Christmas trip to Omaha and other commitments. However, my final match of 2018 will take place this upcoming Sunday evening, December 2nd against brownbomber. He and I have had several great matches together, both in Omaha and Milwaukee, but this match will be our final one due to his age. But I'm going off on a tangent.

I'm hoping that despite several trips planned for next year, I can still squeeze a couple matches in down in the Chicago area (including one with my old friend passivemuscle). However, most of my matches will take place in Milwaukee.

Thank you all for your support and I hope to meet up with you soon.
RJ

Ok, now that the medical stuff is behind me....... let's rumble! I have a match set with Brown Bomber set for this upcoming Sunday, December 2nd. That will probably be my final match for 2018, as well as the final match that he and I have together. He was my first jobber from any wrestling personals website, and I will always be grateful to him for all the fun we have had together.

Oh, and also a quick update on the moving situation:
After the trip to Omaha for Christmas this year (December 18-26) my husband and I (don't let that stop you from contacting me, because I don't get any action at home, but that's another story) should be finalizing our plans to relocate to Omaha, Nebraska in Spring of 2020, and because of that, I will be unable to travel next year (except maybe to Northern IL). If you want to meet up, please hit me up and we can look at my vacation schedule for next year and see if we can plan something.

I know in my last entry, I said I'd be ready to kick some ass, however, due to self-imposed restrictions, to all you guys outside of the Milwaukee, WI area (i,e northern IL and Madison, WI), I can't travel.So you'd have to make a trip up here. However, guys within a 30 minute drive are fair game!

For the rest of 2018, I will be out of town to visit family during the following dates:
Nov 17-25th (Thanksgiving)
Dec 18-26th (Christmas)
Any time after that, let me know when you'd wanna meet up! Again, thanks for all your prayers and support! They're always appreciated!

Good news, guys....... CT scan results are in..... all clear! SO now that I'm in the clear......you better be careful because now midwestheel is back and ready to kick ass!

This is gonna be a very brief update. I originally had a CT scan scheduled for this upcoming Friday, but I managed to get the test moved up to this Tuesday, October 30th. Hopefully the results will be in by Friday then. Keep your thoughts and prayers coming as they are greatly appreciated. Hopefully I will be back in wrestling shape before the end of the year. Stay tuned.

A lot's going on, and I just need to blog about this whole relocation as much as possible, so forgive me if I repeat myself.
With only 3 1/2 months left in 2018 there's still time for matches here in Milwaukee. However, due to the medical restrictions, I can not travel down to Chicago, so if any guys want to come meet up with me, it's Milwaukee or bust!
A lot will be going on next year to prepare for the move, even though the actual move won't be happening until April of 2020. As of now, I have only 4 trips planned for next year, 2 to Florida (but I won't be able to wrestle anybody while I'm down there unfortunately) and at least 2 to Omaha (Thanksgiving and Christmas). For any of you Nebraska jobbers out there, just hang tight and I should have more information for you by the middle of next year.

So in short, if you live in Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, or Ohio (or even Minnesota) or any other state and would like to visit me in Milwaukee, make your plans ASAP! And if you live in Nebraska or Iowa, WATCH OUT, because Midwestheel is coming home to Nebraska soon!

Ok, guys. I haven't said anything until now until I knew it was happening. But I just wanted to inform everyone that in April of 2020, I will be moving from MIlwaukee back to my hometown of Omaha, Nebraska. So if any of you WI/IL guys wanna meet up, we've got the rest of 2018 and all of 2019 to do it. Also if you'd like to visit Milwaukee, you'd better make the plans quick!

Here's a link to ALL of my videos of me in action, including a couple the site won't take because of certain reasons:

If any of you guys are Power Rangers Fans out there, I have been writing some fan fiction and have developed a story series called Power Rangers: Animarium. Here's the link to the first 5 stories. Please read and comment. I am working on a 6th story right now:

Today marked the end of an era.... after 12 years in business, Babies R Us in Brookfield, Wisconsin closed it's doors for the last time. There were a lot of tears shed and lots of hugs to go around. Now I get all of April off before I start at Buy Buy Baby on May 1st. However, I will be taking a vacation from April 13-23rd to rest and re-charge. If you're interested in meeting up before or after then, hit me up!

Well, it's now official. I have been offered a front end position at Buy Buy Baby starting May 1st! Thanks everyone for your words of support!

As many of you have heard by now, Toys R Us has decided to wind down its operations in the U.S. While my store was on the list of the original 180 Closures announced in January, it now has been confirmed that ALL 800+ US stores will be closing. Unfortunately, this announcement derailed my initial plans for my future. My current store will be closing on March 31st, the day before Easter. This means a job hunt will soon begin for me.

As far as what this means for me wrestling wise, I haven't decided yet.

Check out my latest video of me squeezing the life out of Superhero_wrestler from this past Thursday , March 8th:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/baoc0rdubsk5xnf/boywonderscissors3818.mp4?dl=0
He and I have known each other for several years.... we just don't have the time to meet up like we used to!

Just an update on my previous post:
While we still don't have a firm date for my store's closure, a letter recently sent out to all of our store team has listed the store's closing date (and our termination) at April 16th. There is still so much to do between now and then.
With regards to my wrestling, I am still limiting myself to wrestling in the Milwaukee area indefinitely.
I don't yet know what the future holds for me, whether it's going to another store within the company or starting a whole new career somewhere else. Only time will tell.

As many of you have probably already heard by now, Toys R Us has decided to close 182 of it's US Toys R Us and Babies R Us locations. Well I was just informed last night (and it was confirmed this morning) that my store is one of the ones on the chopping block. I won't say which one it is (unless you ask me in a private message) but this affects quite a few aspects of my life, including my wrestling. So, effective immediately, I will be limiting myself to the Milwaukee area and holding off on ALL Chicago area wrestling until I find a new store to work at. I know this is a blow to all my Chicago area friends, but right now, until I get to my new store, my wrestling will be limited to the Milwaukee area.
Thanks for understanding.

Well, guys, as much as I hate to do this, my planned trip to NYC for May of this year has been cancelled. We had a $4,000 plumbing repair bill happen, plus my hours at work are being cut, so I can't make it. I apologize to anybody I had made plans with, but this stuff happens. And regrettably, I don't know when I will be returning to NYC.

Ok, guys.... the verdict is in....... my 2018 Travel is as follows:
The first few months of 2018 are mostly going to be around home..... which means I can make a trip to Chicago almost anytime as long as my work schedule allows.... with the exception of Jan 13-15 when I'm entertaining an opponent I've been talking with for months. So here's the rest of the dates:

May 18-21: NYC
Sept 21-24: Michigan (city TBD)

My 2018 Travel will soon be finalized. I feel like the Olympic Committee trying to choose a host city. So here are the cities/states I will be visiting:

-NYC
-Michigan
-Chicago (can do almost any time with enough notice)

The trips to Michigan and NYC will soon be finalized, around Christmas and will be released around that time. Keep in mind these are extremely short trips, only 4 days long..... so if I don't get to everyone I want to, don't feel bad. Trips to the Chicago area are on request, but we are at the mercy of my work schedule.
I regret that California, Arizona, Minnesota, and Florida didn't make the cut. However, if you live in these states and are able to make a trip over here, I'd be more than willing to meet up. Please keep in mind that I can't host, so we will need to get a hotel, and I do require at least 3 weeks notice because of work.

Thanks again, guys!

With my trip to NYC just a few days away (can't wait) I'm nearing the end of my selection process to find my victims for the trip. I won't name any profile names, but the lucky victims will be notified soon. I already have one guy confirmed for this Saturday morning. Trying to nail down a guy for Friday night and Saturday afternoon. Stay Tuned! Man, I wish this trip was longer but it's not!

This is one of my biggest pet peeves: guys leaving me hanging! I have been left hanging quite a bit lately! Some guys seem interested in a match, and then they don't talk to me for months on end. There was one guy from another website (Global Fight) from the UK. He strung me along for months. I sent him several messages over the course of that time. He never replied until one day, and in that reply he essentially told me to Fuck Off! I've also had guys block me for no reason or notice.
The points:
1. If you have a problem with me, take it up with me, don't just block me without notice or a reason. Let's talk about it!
2. Don't string me along for months pretending to be interested and don't contact me. I know stuff happens, but even a little not is appreciated!

OK, guys, I've decided that enough is enough and it's time for me to reveal something about myself that I have only told a few others on this site:
I am Autistic.
Back in 2003 I was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, a high functioning form of Autism.
If you want to know more about this disorder, you can look it up on Wikipedia or Google it

However, there are a few things you need to know about me related to this disorder:
My "Obsessions" are:
-Commercial aircraft
-Creative writing
-Work
One thing that could be a challenge for other people to handle:
I can sometimes get nervous and call, IM or message people multiple times in one day. I am not TRYING to push people away intentionally. I'm slowly getting better at this.
Also, whenever someone decides to "leave" me (like block me or stops responding to my messages for months on end, it HURTS. It takes a while for me to recover from it, but I do eventually.

ok. I've said my piece, now it's up to you guys. I realize I might lose some buddies and possible matches over this, but at least now my conscious is clear and I've come clean. Although I wish I would've done this a LONG time ago.

Ok, guys! I'm officially back in action and ready to go! Let's make this happen! I'm especially looking for guys to mess around with (including guys who wanna cheat on their spouse!)

Ok, guys, since the MRI came back (pretty much) clear, that means I will be ready to return to action soon! Starting Tuesday, August 15th, I will be available to start talking about hooking up! Looking forward to getting back into action!

Hey guys! For a very brief time (Oct 6-8- Arriving on Oct 6 and departing on Oct. 8) I will be in NYC. I have one guy lined up so far. I need to make the most of my time there so anybody that can meet up relatively soon after I get into the hotel (around 4pm on Friday Oct. 6.... or relatively early in the day on Oct. 7 would be awesome!) Wish I had more time, but I don't.

The good news is... there's no tears or strains or sprains or anything like that. So I will not need any surgery. I got a cortisone shot this morning, so that should take care of the pain for a while. HOWEVER, as a precaution, I will be putting a hold on real-time wrestling activities until the fall. Sorry to disappoint everybody.

Had my MRI this morning (7/10/17). Was in the tube for almost an hour. Now we play the waiting game for the results. Results should be coming from the Orthopedic Specialist's office in 9 days. However, I am not holding my breath that it will be good news. I anticipate needing surgery, and a long recovery period. Like I said,.... official results coming in 9 days. Stay Tuned!
