The Ministry Of Darkness (Wrestling Faction)

 As mentioned in an earlier blog post, I am a huge fan of the Undertaker. Mainly because of love the dark, gothic character. But the reason why I am talking about the Ministry of Darkness was because that this is the first time I remember seeing the Undertaker.

This faction was scary for me as a kid watching wrestling, but at the same time though I thought it was amazing to watch as well. Which my mother was not happy about it lol.

The faction itself was also both frighten and incredible. With such talent like Mideon, Viscera, Bradshaw, Faarooq who all have massive amounts of muscle and every single one of them could easily kill me for a shoot. I certainly want these guys beside me in a dark alley and not in front of me. Not to mention they also had the vampire trio themselves, the Brood as well.

One of the controversies of the group was that the simple fact that they would sometimes perform rituals along with sacrifices. Yeah this group made a lot of people very uncomfortable on multiple occasions.

Watching these guys every Monday night RAW was a treat. Every time the Ministry showed up, my heart rate went right up. It turned the entire show into a horror film.

My favorite moment came during the Black Wedding where Undertaker was trying to turn Stephanie into his bride of darkness so to speak. Next thing you know Stone Cold Steve Austin came to ring and made the save. I can still hear JR go WHAM! Every time Austin blasts Bradshaw in the head with a steel chair.

Looking back on it, I was surprised to see that this faction was around for only a year. I honestly felt like it had been around for a very long time. Especially seeing the chemistry between the members.

Of course, like a lot of things when it becomes corporate, the Ministry of Darkness became really boring when it became the Corporate Ministry.

I often wonder how long this faction would have lasted if left the way it was originally. I mean, in my humble opinion, the Ministry of Darkness had the legs to go at least three years. Or maybe it was only meant to go for as long has it did.

But still this faction was amazing! And honestly, to this very day I still see other wrestlers trying to recreate the success of the Ministry of Darkness and sadly we may never see a group get to the level that the Ministry had. Honestly, I believe that it just comes down to being able to believe in it which is very hard to do nowadays. However, I also fear that they are not as willing to be true heels (bad guys) as wrestlers were in the past. But again, just my humble opinion.

Regardless, I still look back at the Ministry of Darkness as one of the best/scariest wrestling factions in the history of the sport.

Check it out!

God Bless and Be Safe everybody! 🙏🙏🙏

Until next time!

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
