I think what got me into wrestling the most was how much my mom hated it. She would never let me watch Raw on a school night cuz I would get so amped and I wouldn’t sleep then fall asleep the next day in class. I had to tape it and watch it that Saturday 😤😤
This of course was the worst cuz all my friends would talk about the show on Tuesday and the surprises were ruined.
Then I wrote the F word during art class and was banned from wrestling for 3 months!!!
It might have been for the best because I got into a fight in 5th grade with another boy (he started it) and I gave him a tazzmission. What I didn’t know was the kid had brain surgery the month before. The kid was fine and I was defending myself but wrestling was def a no no.
The point of this story. Fight for what you love.
