Mikey Whipwreck

 One of the constant themes some of you have read about in my blogs is how much I love pro wrestling. And recently I had finished watching a shoot interview from one of my favorite wrestlers and in my humble opinion, one of the most underrated wrestlers in Mikey Whipwreck.

Mikey was so special to me because of the simple fact that he showed me that someone like me who physically shouldn't be inside a wrestling ring. But there Mikey was inside the ring and everything he was doing was believable.

Whipwreck first burst onto the scene in the 90s in a little promotion called ECW (Extreme Championship Wrestling). His character was a lovable loser type, yet he was totally awesome! Mikey would constantly get beat on a weekly basis and every single time, he would come back out and do it all over again. It is something that I will always find inspirational. For someone like me who physically struggle in some aspects, seeing a guy like Mikey keep coming back despite what he went through the previous week. long story short, Mikey Whipwreck was a major factor in reminding me that no matter how many times you fall down, always get back up. And I thank you for that Mikey!

And all of that hard work was about to pay off in a big way because Mikey soon began working with many of the top stars in ECW including major stars in Mick Foley who was Cactus Jack at the time and Steve Austin. Yes that Steve Austin who became arguably the biggest name in professional wrestling and Mikey pinned him to retain the ECW World title.

Whipwreck is an ECW Triple Crown Champion having won his first title the ECW Television title. He is also a three time ECW tag team champion winning twice with his mentor Cactus Jack and once with Yoshihiro Tajiri as the Unholy Alliance which in my humble opinion was a very underrated tag team. He was also a former ECW World Heavyweight champion. Having Mikey win the title was really such an inspiration to me because it gave me hope that someone like me to succeed in anything I do in life.

Plus, watching him in multiple interviews, Mikey always seem to be such a down to earth person. He always seem to be the type of person who didn't want to bury anybody. I never got to meet him, but sure would love to though. Mikey Whipwreck is the type of person that I try to be like in just when I was wrestling, but in life in general. And that was to be a guy who just wanted to live life the best I can and do my best to be a good person.

I recommend anyone that is a wrestling fan or not, to please go check out Mikey Whipwreck.

Until next time! God Bless and Be Safe!

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
