The Undertaker

 One of my personal favorite pro wrestlers and I dare say, one of the greatest period, is The Undertaker. It is crazy to think that it has been nearly 35 year since the debut of this awesome character. 

Fact fun, Undertaker had be wrestling even longer overall outside the WWE because you see, back in the old days of wrestling there were several different wrestling companies. And of course, we all got to start somewhere and Undertaker started off wrestling in his home state of Texas wrestling for the World Class Championship Wrestling in the late 80s and the rest as they say was history.

Another fun fact was that the Undertaker made his WWE debut back in 1990, which is also the same year me and my twin brother Chad were born. So I always thought that was really cool.

Fast forward years later, the first time that I got to see the Undertaker was during the time he was leader of the Ministry of Darkness trying to marry Stephanie McMahon. Which as a little kid, I was scared stiff and yet, it was awesome at the same time.

Just the sight of him was incredible. I mean the guy was wearing a black rope while standing nearly seven feet tall and weighted over 300 pounds, yeah you can't get anymore frightening than that!

Heck! I remember watching Taker literally jump over the top rope like he was a cruiserweight and land on a guy to the outside and it completely blew my mind. I always did enjoy watching him do the move old school which is a move where he would take a guy by the arm and walk onto the top rope and move along the rope before dropping a massive club to the head of his opponent. Of course, you got the Chokeslam as well as the Tombstone Piledriver. Which can you really come up with a better name for a finishing move?

The character itself was amazing! The whole dark and mysterious character and as I grew older I learned how the man himself Mark Calaway was the same way which was really one of the main reasons why that character got over. I mean again, the guy was nearly seven feet tall, over 300 pounds, long black hair pale skin and covered in tattoos

It is sad that his long career is over but the memories will always be there in my mind and in my heart. And also because of the WWE network.

Also I really love listening to his podcast Six Feet Under which you can watch on Youtube.

Rest assured, I do plan on writing more Undertaker stuff soon lol. But until then, I shall rest in peace lol.

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
