5 Days from Departure

It is hard to believe that the time has finally come. In just a few short days, House and I will be leaving the state of Tennessee for bigger ground....Wrestlemania 25. I sincerely appreciate the support of followers such as AL, Tarantula, Greer, David, and Hobgood. Your guest postings have been greatly received by the general public, as I have at least a dozen different people come up to me every day and tell me how awesome the blog is. Although House and I will be the only ones in his non-air-conditioned Civic, you will all be there with us in spirit.



Also, this weekend the blogs will be updated almost hour on the hour. Be prepared for pictures from the road and stories of prank calls too good to be true. If you never follow this blog again (which is a STRONG possibility), follow it this Saturday and Sunday. The "Show of Shows" is upon us, and I look forward to all of you following us on our journey.



Wrestlemania III. What else needs to be said? The match between Hogan and Andre the Giant defined 'Mania as the wrestling spectacle that it is today. This is bigger than Bobby Whiskers vs. John Tibbles. Bigger than David King vs. Grant Leaver. Bigger than Josh Pollock vs. Men and Food (or something like that--look it up on MySpace). This was IT and Daybo would say. When Hogan picked Andre up and slammed him down, he changed the world of professional wrestling in the process.


So for those of you reflecting back to yesteryear, remember Hogan and Andre (R.I.P.). Every once in a while when the Podge stops talking about his hair, he pauses and mentions Wrestlemania III, saying, "Hogan was the man, but my hair was so much better." Nonetheless, we look forward to titanic moments such as this one this coming Sunday.


Raw is Jericho,

    First off let me just say I would like to choke slam both of you clowns, but not because I dont like the blog. In fact the blog is excellent, but I feel like choke slamming you two limp wristed pencil necks would be a great way to honor the giants of the ring that you two havent given enough respect to. Andre, King Kong Bundy, Gonzalez, Taker, Diesel, Big Show, Khali, these are the real names that put butts in seats. These men were and are much more than mere mortals and wrestling would be nothing without them. See these guys are who the normal pansy fear, and when Hogan slammed Andre at Wrestlemania he gave hope that maybe one day the normal man can take down the giant in their own life, whether it be something at work or school or asking out that cute girl. So I say heres to the giants that made the great sport of wrestling what it is today!

    aka Big Boom

    BTW: I would hate to lead anyone away from this tremendous blog but I happened to stumble onto a little story on my favorite giant Andre and his two loves, wrestling and booze. enjoy
