EDIT: Dammit, you beat me to it!

I'm glad we can joke about this Randy would have wanted it this way. Someone called me to tell me Michael Jackson died. Without missing a beat I asked how old was the kid he choked on and suddenly I was the bad guy.

Last year we hired a guy fresh out of college so naturally I took him under my wing, you know bringing him up to date on all the cool stuff he missed out on when he was hanging out in his dads sack.

He called me brotha one day and I broke into full Hulk, What ya gonna do brutha when the hulkster comes for you? It was hilarious, then I explained about the fake wrestling we all watched in the 80's.

Hes gone now but I still call his voicemail at the new job. I don't actually say anything just play careless whisper over and over until the machine hangs up....

I'm actually wearing a replica of that outfit to work today! Some people complain that I take casual Friday's too far. I say others have not taken them far enough.

Who can forget Macho Man, Hulk, Andre the Giant, and my favorite, Superfly Jimmy Snuka?

Good times. R.I.P., Mr. Savage. Don't hurt anyone upstairs.

They all paved the way for sure, kinda scary that Hulk and Ric Flair are still in the biz and trying to wrestle still too.

Macho Man was one of my favs when I was a kid, He will be missed for sure :frown:

Pet peeve of mine. If a 300lbs guy jumps on you from the top rope, or whips you into the stairs leading into the ring or hits you in the face with a ladder, try telling me that pain you feel is "fake". The shows are scripted & rehearsed for sure. Strikes are pulled or fail to connect all together. But pain is an ever present reminder in that ring.

R.I.P. to Macho. Makes me wanna hit someone with a drop elbow right now.

Too late. The real reason the rapture didn't happen.
