Why I Love Pro Wrestling

  This maybe to no one's surprise, but I am a major dork lol. And one of those dorky things that I hold dear is my love for Professional Wrestling.

I was just a little kid in the mid 90s when I first saw a glimpse of my first pro wrestling with a little show called WCW Saturday Night when I got to see a wrestler "A man called Sting".

From there onward, I became a huge fan of professional wrestling and grew up during one of the biggest boom period in wrestling history in the Monday Night Wars where the WWF (Now WWE) battled it out with rival WCW. It was such an interesting time for me and brothers because we really didn't have a favorite one over the other as we had multiple wrestlers we enjoy watching. For example, I'd loved watching Sting fight the NWO as well as watching other wrestlers like Raven and his flock, Harlem Heat among so many others. But I also loved to watch WWE wrestlers like Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, Mick Foley, Kane and the Undertaker.

Then I got to witness a third pro wrestling company on a small channel called TNN in the form of ECW where I got to watch wrestlers like Tommy Dreamer, Justin Credible, Mikey Whipwreck and so many others. Sadly, ECW did not last long on the network.

After both WCW and ECW went out of business, all that was left at least I thought at the time WWE was the only pro wrestling to watch.

Thank God, I was around an older crowd who educated me in the history of Pro Wrestling and that there was more out there other than WWE. I got to learn about companies like Ring of Honor, Impact Wrestling, PWG and even companies outside of the US, like New Japan Pro Wrestling, All Japan Pro Wrestling, Pro Wrestling Noah just to name a few.

As I grew older I began to do a lot of research on Professional Wrestling and realize that at one point in the US alone there were so many different promotions which makes me wish I grew up in a different time period lol.

Personally, the biggest reason I love watching professional wrestling is as a writer, I love to create characters and tell stories. I get to be someone different like I was in a movie or some kind of soap opera. Plus it does even till this day, feels like a sporting event where everyone is trying to become a World Champion kinda like when I watched the Rocky movies. Plus, I always thought it be cool to be a hero to someone.

I hope to get to write more about Pro Wrestling here in the near future because there is so much more to talk about. But until, take care everyone and be safe out there.

Lewistown Area High School Class of 2009

 I can't believe it has been 15 years since me and Chad have graduated from Lewistown Area High School back in 2009. High school was a very interesting time for not just myself, but for many of us who had attended, mainly because usually times at high school is the time of getting to know ones self and discover who they are and what there place is in this world. Being a teenage to becoming a young adult can be very challenging to a lot of people during this time in life. Especially with dealing with all sorts of different emotions that we didn't understand before. Sadly, there are also a lot of young people who struggled to figure things out during their time in high school and I was certainly one of those people.  I mention this because recently I found and looked back through my yearbook when I graduated from Lewistown and it was pretty cool to see some old faces especially now that I am older and learned so much about myself. The only problem about this is I wish I knew what

The Wacky Adventures Of Joshua and Chad: McVeytown Eagles Championship Parade!

Image
Well tonight was a pretty special night down here in McVeytown as Chad and I along with many other people who live here in McVeytown all came together to celebrate a special accomplishment. And that was how all three of the McVeytown Eagles teams made it to the CKYFL championship games. Winning in both the Peewee and Midget divisions and placing second in the Mighty Mights. Stuff like this doesn't happen often in such a small town where I live so to see these kids have the time of their lives during the parade was certainly a sight to see. One of the things I love about covering sports is when I see kids learn, work hard and turn it into success. And these kids were learning a lot throughout the season and watching them grow and not only become better football players, but better people as well.  Which is why I have really enjoyed covering the CKYFL these last few years for Hometown Sports. People like Travis McCullough who is the President of the league along with Adam Weaver, Rob

What's going on? Being honest with ourselves!

 I don't like to cause any problems with anybody but there have been a lot of things that I been wanting to get off my chest for a very long time now. And that is in my humble opinion people don't seem to want to be honest about really anything anymore. Now, I could be just a little paranoid, maybe my anxiety is getting the best of me or whatever. But as time has past I have been getting a weird feeling all over me. You see, I just feel as though people no one is really being honest with each other, themselves or to God anymore. I wish I could describe it better but it has been a concern of mine for quite a long time now and I feel like it is getting worse. People would always say things to me like, Josh it is just a different time. But honestly, I think that is just a lame excuse. And the reason I say that is because a lot of those same people who say that kind of stuff to me are the exact same people who then say that they don't understand how things around us are getting
