C’mon in … the door’s open …

Man, I said I wasn’t gonna do it again, but …

Well, I’m headin’ out in about a week to do some damage … er, work … with Ohio Championship Wrestling.

But, this time, it’s gonna be just a leeeeeetle different.

I’m goin’ in as my Rock Relic character (now, this oughtta be fun!).  Hey … that’s what they want, that’s what they get!

Anyway, I’ve gotten emails from a lotta folks who (when I wrote on one of my other blogs about ‘rasslin’) really read me the riot act about how “silly” this so-called “sport”.

But lemme point out a coupla-three things, okay?

• First, professional wrestling is a physical contest; it’s just wrapped in an “entertainment” format. Whether the matches are “scripted” or not is actually a moot point; the fact is that they do work, sweat and strain to make it all look as real — and give the fans their money’s worth. It’s very physical.



• And there’s not much difference between a good “family-friendly” wrestling card (where there’s no obscene or offensive junk) and the rock concerts of the Sixties! If you want proof of that, just visit The Rock Relic’s post on rock and wrestling.
• But you’ve also gotta look at the fact that, honestly, pro wrestling mirrors reality! Uh-huh … because, y’see, we’re all wantin’ to put on the best show possible to please our particular “crowd” (remember “gets along well with others” on yer report card??). For some, it means taking on a different (though staged) personality (wait. You mean you’ve been watchin’ the political race and haven’t caught on to that??? lol).The only difference is that, in reality, life is the ring, and our opponents are whatever we’re up against on a daily basis. The hard part is that we don’t have the option of going to a room and working out who’s gonna win or lose! And our “matches” are genuine!

Still, it’s gonna be a fun gig. I know many of the wrestlers on the card (including a fantastic young superstar [and former high school English teacher!], Mason Raige [see pic at top]) … and a few of the fans.

Besides, I need a break …

Okay, listen — accordin’ to the clock-on-the-wall, it’s … broken!  Sheesh …
Anyway … I’ve got a few things to see and people to do until tonight, so, ’til I get back, think about it and tell me:
What’s on your mind?

Oh, yeah … we’ll get back to the regular format tonight, too!
