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 pals. This summer time has been continuous…or at the very least it appears. I lastly compelled 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 Neighborhood Competition. My buddy runs the occasion and requested if I might placed on some wrestling for them. It was a irritating 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 common with me as these days (or instances of 12 months).

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

The spotlight was once 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 unhealthy man wrestlers getting escorted out of the constructing in handcuffs. Initially I figured I might be the great man (the babyface) since I really spent just a few good years of my childhood only a mile from the fairgrounds. In actual fact, I gained Most Critical Expression once 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 acceptable) 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. After I get a while I am going to put it collectively so that you can see.

I’M A TV STAR AGAIN 😉

I had quite a bit to do the subsequent day as I made the 8 hour drive (in fact, 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 photographs taken, consuming some high quality catering and having many awkward interactions. I am unsure if it was the annoyance of strangers coming as much as you or the shortage of social abilities or perhaps it is simply the “enterprise” however it made me giggle (and typically unhappy) that a few of these guys went out of their method to flip away when somebody went to say hi there or acknowledge them in passing. 

Spent most the night time out and in of the catering room or filling seats. I gotta inform ya, if this wrestling factor does 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 then you definitely’ll see me HOOTIN-AND-HOLLERING!

Was a cool expertise even acquired to sit down subsequent to a WRESTLING LEGEND that I watched as a child whereas watching the TV present reside 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 go about that?

CURRENTLY

Since then it has been per week plus of recovering and being lazy aside from one different professional wrestling reserving towards a pair mates. It was straightforward. It was enjoyable. It was a very good 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 embody some fishing, some extra shoots and a few wrestling. We’ll have the ring again up in my yard subsequent week for extra observe time with mates. I have been getting a TON of latest gear for professional and hero stuff, so this fall I plan to do extra with that.

As effectively, I will be performing some 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?
