We recently had the chance to go & check out Florida Championship
Wrestling Live @ the Charlotte Harbor Event Center. It was the last
competition of the season and was hosted by the American Dream--Dusty
Rhodes. Of course he is well past his wrestling days but it was cool
to get the chance to meet & talk to someone I watched wrestle on
TV when I was a child. WWE's R-Truth also made an appearance, I
was a little disappointed that he didn't actually fight but it was a
small event so I was not totally shocked about it. It was a nice
change of pace to see Dusty & R-Truth do about 2 hours of pictures
& autograph signing before things got underway, making sure that
every last fan got to see them. It wasn't exactly what we were
expecting but it was a fun night out of the house. I would go do it
again, no questions asked & I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have a hard
time convincing Care either. Think she was on macho dude overload
& I was happy to see her enjoying it, maybe even a little more
than myself. They had several different matches, a few solos, a couple
tag teams and of course I can't forget to mention the Diva's
limbo contest. All in all it was a good time, definitely a cool way to
spend the evening. If you want to check out the Florida Championship
Wrestlers in action hit up their web site http://www.fcwwrestling.info/inde x2.html
and look-up their live events listing. They will be at the Charlotte
Harbor Event Center again on Friday, September 24th & are
advertising a steel cage match- which sounds like an event I want to
attend!
I never really thought
about it before but I guess I did spend a lot of time watching, acting
out and basically living wrestling as a child. I remember...jumping on
the furniture, rolling around on the floor, breaking out in random
matches with my brother & launching my little rubber wrestlers all
over the house. We got in so much trouble with those things, we must
have drove our mother crazy! We hardly ever played with them the way
they were intended but man we had some fun. As I look back now, I
really enjoyed those times and am glad that I had wrestling as a part
of my life. There are a lot of memories revolving around wrestling in
my life and now I'm looking forward to adding more. Can't wait for the
FCW to come back to town and put on another great show, we'll be
waiting!
Until Next Time...Ride Safe,
