My Wrestling Fandom Pt 3.

Intro.

As I sit here on a Monday morning, suffering with a case of writers block. I was pondering what to write about, and then it hit me. Why don't I write about my embarrassing wrestling stories. Oh my. I have some stories.

TNA Shows.

Back in the late noughties I had a love affair with TNA. I wnt to several of the shows, and TV tapings, that were held over here in the UK. I loved these shows, because the way that the company made the fans the vocal of every show. In 2012. I thought I was going to faint at the show, because I shook hands with one of my childhood idols. Hulk Hogan. In that moment I felt like my world was going to melt down. I didn't wash my hand for about a month, to the point that It was looking the time when Bart Simpson, after his neighbour spat in his hand, fast forward 4 months, and. Hogan would be involved in a sextape scandal. And three years after that, he would be involved in a race row, after the language that was used in the video, resurfaced. All of my illutions were broken, and I was forced to wash my right hand, man it was one dirty hand. My feelings towards Hogan have changed over the years, due to the fact that I think he's a compulsive liar, who's got awful opinions of ethnic groups. But, when you're a kid, you don't think your idols, can do no wrong, and then your forced to wash your hands with them, literally.

My Mum And Mae Young.

It was the year 2000, and I had just got home from school, all hyped to watch that years Royal Rumble. My mate Tim stayed up to watch it live, when it aired on channel 4 here in the UK. Channel 4 in the back end of 1999, secured the rights to show Sunday Night Heat, and four of the PPV's, this wasn't a great move, because. Mae Young got her delapitated coconuts out. It was the womens Bikini Contest. And yeah, as this happened, my mum was walking up the stairs with the washing, and as I kept shouting. No Mum don't come in, she said, but I need to put the washing on your bed, and I kept shouting. No don't come in, she completely ignored this, and her face said everything. We have never spoken about this incident since then. Channel 4 were also pissed at this, due to the fact that they weren't told about the spot prior, and all I have to say about that is this. Yes. the coverage wasn't well received by all in here In the UK, but it also showed what hypocrites they are, because lets not forget, this was the channel that showed the first ever lesbian kiss, on a pre watershed soap opera, plus they bought the rights to show programmes, like. The Sopranos, and, everyones favourite crying robot. Dawsons Creek, which were controversial shows stateside, for differant reasons. Don't get me started on how they treated Sunday Night Heat.

Backlash 2000. 

Agh yes. WWE Backlash 2000, or as I like to call it. My brothers reign of terror over my families vcr player. My version of the show, got cut short, because i'm an idiot, and got the timings wrong, so I thought that I would reach out to my brothers black soul, and ask if I could borrow his copy, that he had taped, and of course the answer he gave was. No, so I decided to fight fire with fire, and swap his copy, with an episode of Gardeners World, his mates weren't happy, but I was delighted. Because I got to watch the whole uninterrupted, that was until he got home, and the biggest fight you could imagine ensued. I turned into shin Patrick, and battered my older sibling, there wasn't any blood, but quite a lot of kitchen utencils that got it.
