One of my greatest regrets in the construction of this website was going for the easy solution on the text editor to save dev costs, because this thing honestly blows ass. No spell check in 2021. Sorry everyone. Anyway.
One of my goals in 2020 was to go to a wrestling show live. Obviously COVID said go fuck yourself nerd, but, you know, a deals a deal. I got to go to my first show in June, a NGW show (Party Bowl) in Knoxville TN. The card had WARHORSE on it which is why I wanted to go, but they put him in a lol isn't this funny midcard comedy match, which was eternally annoying because I wanted to see a WARHORSE match. Pineapple Pete was in it, which was cool, it's nice to see he's recovered from having his ass buried on Dynamite by Chris Jericho after a month of fun build. What was the point of that? Still one of the worst things AEW has ever done imo. Don't want to get into that whole thing, but, okay. The show was great. Very good shit. Derek and Cassie came-- Cassie did not enjoy it, but I told her before hand she wouldn't, and that she shouldn't come, but she did, and was immediately exposed to extremely smarky hardcore wrestling. Can't imagine what that was like for her, but, there you go.
I was then able to get basically front row seats to Dynamite in Charlotte at great personal cost, but it was... worth it?
I went with the sole desire to see Adam Page beat Kenny Omega and get a title shot for All Out 2021, but the story dead ended instead. To be honest, it threw me off for the rest of the show. Seeing Nick Gage wrestle Jericho was surely a once in a lifetime event, but honestly I was in such a state after Page got pinned that the rest of the event was a big fog. I did get to see Christian, that was cool, but I barely remember anything.
It was weird, it was like I was just being mentally bombarded with so much happening that I was disassociating or something, I don't know how to describe it.
When I saw the Pixies for the first time I was like star struck, but now every like 11 minutes I was seeing someone wrestle I truly adore and my brain was like, see ya kid. It was wild. Truly. It was absolutely sensory overload, not necessarily in a bad way, but definitely actually really.
I got to see Chaos Project which was honestly the best thing of the night but even now when I search my memory for the event of it its just a haze, like I was not even there. Weird way to spend $300 but. You know. I got to take my Dad, and that was nice. We don't have really anything in common except I dragged him back into liking wrestling after he introduced me to it in the 90's and he I fucked off after WCW died for 20 years.
Either way, both were good experiences, although to be entirely truthful to myself, I enjoyed the NGW show more. I was way more into the moment and just saw some really good honest wrasslin. I'm thinking about going back for the show next time. It is quite a drive. I don't know-- thinking about it.
Everything else in my life is completely status quo in the way where if I talk about it, its probably sad, so I won't get into it. Rest assured, not much is happening.
Just wanted to catch myself up on all of that.
