Ok ok, so I am a week late as the show was filmed last tuesday May 30th and shown on Friday June 2nd.
Lets just say if you looked hard enough you can see me there. Thats right, good old JB was on TV.
I had prepared for this night for months. I was going to take on the winner of the Main Event but then they scheduled that old fogey Roddy Pipper instead at the last minute, you know, it being his home town and all. Figured I'd let him have his 15 minutes of fame. lol
=============================
Actually I had some crappy seats that I won from a radio station, but it was still fun anyway. The amount of kids (under 18) there was incredible. Then the lines at all the souvenir stands after the show....
Man, I thought shirts were expensive at Rock Concerts when I was a kid (around $20). Now they are going for $30 and $45 each! No wonder Vince McMahon is so rich.
Yeah Yeah, I know it is choreographed but it was still fun, something different to do in the NW.
================================
Oh yeah, I also talked with Bobby Lashley -the new black wrestler who is 6' tall and 275lbs of solid muscle. Damn to have the genetics he's got!
Bobby says if he can fit them in, his workout schedule is 5 days a week at a maximum of 1 hour per session. And to keep his size he manages to eat 4000calories per day.
I was going to mention the um, supersupplements they use, but I didnt think with all the kids in line to talk to him it would have been appropriate.
btw- I dont know if its because he is new or what, but he was the nicest kindest (and seemingly sincere) person in the professional TV business I ever met. Like we could have sat down and ,had a few beers and watch some football at the local Sports Bar. Didnt come across as conceited, pushy, or snobby in any way shape or form. You'd never know he was a wrestler if you didnt watch TV.
Anyway, nothing important I guess, just thought I would share my story
