Kurt Angle

With in getting closer to the Fourth of July, I decided to talk about one of my personal favorite pro wrestlers of all time! Heck! You can make the argument that Kurt Angle is the wrestler period!

What I love the most about Kurt Angle was how believable he was in the ring. He was also so intense, like you know that this was going to be a big time match when the bell rang.

But the more I got to know about him and learn his story, the more I became a fan of his. I mean, learning about what he has been through in his life to where he is now is truly remarkable.

Angle won the 1996 Olympics with a broken neck! Which I do not think that would even be allowed in today's world. The guy then went on a run in WWE that not many people have pulled off.

By the time he got to the WWE, Angle was already going up against the likes of Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, The Undertaker, Triple H and Shawn Michaels. You also can't go wrong with his matches with Eddie Guerrero either. 

I also really enjoyed his time in TNA as well, his matches with AJ Styles never seem to disappoint. I remember the first time watching those two guys wrestle, my jaw never left the floor. I was in complete awe of these two incredible talents and what they were doing in the ring.

Also, another match that I highly recommend you go watch if you are able to find it on Youtube, is his match in Japan with another one of my personal favorite wrestlers, Yuji Nagata. EPIC!!!!

As mentioned before, Angle has certainly had his fair share of struggles and I recommend that you see his documentary on Peacock.

He now hosts a podcast called The Kurt Angle Show and I really enjoy listening to it.

God Bless you Kurt! Thank you so much for being an inspiration to me and many others. And I pray for nothing but the best for you and family.

Until Next Time! 

God Bless and Be Safe Everybody! 🙏🙏🙏

2009 Lewistown Panthers Baseball

 Well, with me trying to become more positive about myself, I have been looking back into the past and find ways to let go of some of the negative emotions attached to it. One such issue was going back to my time at Lewistown Area High School which as mentioned before was a huge struggle for me.  But again, trying to be more positive, I wanted to look back at that time and remember some of the good moments during that period. One of which was playing for the Lewistown Panthers baseball team. Heading into my senior year of high school, I wasn't in the best state of mind. Honestly, I really did not want to be there anymore, I was just so sick of life, never thought I was going to be anything. All I ever was going to be was a huge disappointment. I can only give credit to God for being able to get through that year. But then baseball tryouts came along and I decided to go for it again. The previous years I've tried only to fail, which in fairness, wasn't much of a surprise bec...

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...

The 2005 Lewistown Panthers Football Team!

Image
 I recently completed reading my story for Hometown Sports Magazine about the 2005 Lewistown Panthers football team who finally ended a thirty years of losing seasons. In this blog, I wanted to talk about why I wanted to write about this team and how I feel the lessons that were learned about them throughout the year can still be used today.  One of the biggest reasons as to why I wanted to write about this team was because of how much of team these guys were both on and off the field. These guys have played the game of football together for a number of years and it clearly showed. Plus being a youngster, I really didn't know the history of Lewistown Panthers football. I only remember going to games because I remember my cousins playing on the team. But talking about the football team in general, to put it nicely, there wasn't a lot of success. In fact when I started this journey of writing this story, I discovered that Lewistown didn't have a winning season for thirty year...
