A Pro Wrestling Commentary

I don’t know everything about professional wrestling. I do know I love the sport and want it to flourish everywhere. Sure I am a little tribal and I prefer the upstart All Elite Wrestling (AEW) to the crusty veteran WWE.

We all have our preferences. I have decided to post about wrestling from a positive, constructive position. Because it’s helpful and provides some balance I hope. Pro wrestling is about life because it’s about hopes and dreams. Good and bad. Dark and light. Sacrifice and pain.

When you look at the sport as a whole it’s doing better now than it was 4 years ago before the arrival of AEW. I look at pro wrestler Matt Cardona who was let go from WWE and has found his niche in the independent scene and he is wildly successful.

The word Independent should not be seen as a pejorative but as a word of opportunity to make a living going to places where there is a true adventure for the wrestler. Wrestling is not just WWE or AEW.

Wrestling has its share of cynics, critics, and the like but it doesn’t have to. At the end of the day, it’s men and women who just want to chase a dream, and if they are a little lucky they can lift a pretty gold belt that says they are a champion.

Support wrestling on every level. The future of the sport depends on it. Also just enjoy it and don’t sweat the details too much.

PS: I won’t discuss if pro wrestling is fake or not here. I don’t want that negativity thank you.

Thought Of The Day – Government Shutdown

At midnight tonight in the United States, the government will shut down. That means government workers will go without a paycheck until Congress can devise a plan to keep things running again. People who hate government like to be in government, which doesn’t make sense.

There is plenty of blame to go around however, that is not something I want to get into here. I just want to say that the government does many things from defense to road construction and more. People need to get paid for their work so they can pay their mortgage/rent, food, medicine, and other expenses. That should be the focus right now.

Let’s hope that whatever the shutdown looks like it won’t last for too long. People should matter more here and then take care of the things that make life a little easier when we all pitch in to make it happen.

Thought Of The Day – Fantasy Worlds

For many the fantasy worlds of Harry Potter and Star Wars and the like are places they find homes in because the real world they live in reality is cruel to them because of who they are. As I have always said it’s hard to be a misfit toy. It’s sad when someone has to hide in plain sight who they are and want to present themselves as. That isn’t freedom good people.

Remembering Sir Michael Gambon

Sir Micheal Gambon was not the original Albus Dumbledore in the Harry Potter movies However, he did the job very well when called upon to replace the original Dumbledore, Richard Harris when he passed away. Gambon died on September 27th. He was also on Doctor Who during the Matt Smith era for one of their Christmas specials among many other roles on stage and screen. Sir Michael, rest in power. May you find magic in the heavens.
