Well kids, I’m at home and the doctor says I have bronchitis. This is the second time this year. Then again, maybe it just never went away and was just secretly planning an attack?

When I blow my nose, what results is a glowing neon colour. I swear this stuff glows in the dark.

Anyhow, I’ve got a blankey and a warm drink  and I’m going to watch some good old wrestling. I’ll let you know what i watched afterwards with perhaps a review.

Hello, kidderoos!

Today is halloween, when the freaks come out. When I was younger and single, Halloween was a good night to go out because for some reason, girls made extremely questionable wardrobe decisions that they otherwise wouldn’t make (read: dress provocatively) and get away with it.

This evening, I shall be taking THE DUDE~! out for his second ever Halloween experience. Last year went very well, and he has never forgotten it. We actually have two costumes for him this year, so I’m debating taking him out twice, or at least coming home, changing, and hitting up the houses that gave out the good stuff a second time in a different costume.

Yup, only the best in deceit and shenanigens for my kid! Actually, i’m a little bummed that I never thought of that when i was of Trick or Treating age.

Being that it is Halloween, I shall leave you with the 1985 Ministry track “Everyday Is Halloween” set to random horror movie clips. Have fun with it. Oh, and please be very safe out there tonight. Certainly don’t do any of the foolish things I did as a youngster, like shooting your friends with roman candles and bottle rockets.

Don’t worry, everyone, I haven’t forgotten you, and I still love you all.

The weather out here has been fantastic. Even though I don’t have much to show for this season besides moving into a brand new Firestorm Family Compound, this has been one of my more enjoyable Summer’s in recent memory.

Been busy lately, between being a husband, Dad, and self-employed genius. I have been working on my exciting TV pilot project, and despite being easily distracted, I’ve been enjoying the work (as I always do), and getting a lot of personal satisfaction out of it.

This past Friday afternoon/evening saw Ringside Live mark our first anniversary.  We did a special two-hour show (which can be heard on the main page) during which on top of the latest wrestling and MMA news and retrospection, we crowned the Worst Wrestler Ever.

Rocky Mountain Thunder, please step forward.

RMT seems to be an enigmatic fellow. It seems outside his short AWA stint in the 1980’s, nobody can recall anything else he ever did, or where he went. Deep in the bowels of my mind, where I house useless facts such as the last time a wrestler was seen tripping over the ring steps on a live broadcast (listen to Friday’s show for the answer!) I pulled up a tidbit of unsubstantiated information.

“Gorgeous” Michelle Starr, the man who trained me, wrestled Rocky Mountain Thunder. Did he? I swear I heard him mention it once, and the timeframe seemed right, as Starr wrestled several AWA TV matches early in his career, and the timeframe matches up. Starr’s trainer, Billy Anderson certainly wrestled him, as seen on recently aired AWA reruns on ESPN Classic.

So I fired off an email to Mr. Starr. “Did you wrestle Rocky Mountain Thunder?” I asked.

The lengthy and detailed response is pasted below in it’s entirety…

“yes i think so”

That’s it. Not even any punctuation. And Starr is actually a very capable writer. Maybe he was in a hurry? Maybe he wanted me to stop asking silly questions and update the All Star Wrestling website?

Sadly, I didn’t have enough time to prod him for more information before the radio show. Hmmm…perhaps the word “prod” was a poor choice when discussing a man who wears pink spandex, uses “It’s Raining Men” as his entrance theme, and wears makeup? Just a little humour there. Don’t get me wrong, I love Starr to death, if not grievous bodily harm. He’s done a lot for me and my family, and I truly consider him a big brother.

Mark my words, I’ll do my best to find out more, and get to the “bottom” of this!
