Drinking New Ground, Wrestling, and more
It’s Tuesday evening, I just got back from the dentist, my mouth hurts like a bitch, I feel like I’m going to vomit, I only got 3 hours of sleep last night, I’m starving, I can’t eat, and my mouth is still bleeding. Anyways, here goes…
Friday - The fam and I left around 6:30 or something like that and they were stopping to get something to eat and I was hungry so I decided to join them. We went to Red Robin, the normal food gimmicks ensued. It took the rest of the fam WAY too long to eat and I didn’t want to keep Allison waiting so I tried to hurry them and we finally took off.
I got to the wrestling house and put on the worst Halloween costume I have ever worn in all my years of life, it was pretty bad. Allison got there shortly afterwards and we headed to Venom’s for a Halloween bash. I got there and the vibe seemed strange to me, I’m not sure what it was, but I felt like I was not wanted. This vibe would continue through the whole night. Page needed a ride and Venom convinced Pun, so I decided to tag along to give Pun some company and hoped that when I returned the vibe would be better.
The ride to Page’s was defiantly interesting to say the least. It was the very first time I have actually encountered real road rage, I think it was one step away from Pun and this asshole guy stepping out of their vehicles and coming to blows. Luckily, that did not happen. Got to Page’s and took off back for Venom’s. I think we made it in a little over an hour, which is pretty damn good.
We got back, the vibe was still weird to me. Beer pong started, I watched the first game and a little of the second game and then decided to go into Ricky Reed’s room and act like I fell asleep playing Nintendo. I didn’t really, I was just really tired and felt out of place, so I tried to sleep. More people started showing and before long people strolled into the room. I think Mike was the first, he scared the crap out of me because I was actually half asleep when he woke me and he was in full Batman costume. Nobody likes getting woken up by the bat. TyTy was shortly to follow, he played some TMNT with me and we had a good time. He decided to leave after I spilled lemonade on his Robin tights.
After that I decided I try the party out again so I headed back out to the party area. Now everyone was drunk and I didn’t feel the weird vibe anymore, so I sat around and had some fun with peeps. Nick wouldn’t let me give him “the message,” I was pissed. After that happened and the partiers started to leave little by little, I took a seat by Natalie and Nicklebear and we watched Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: Secret of The Ooze. We watched the whole movie without sound and it was sweet. It was cool catching up on things with Nat, she is one cool chicka.
Around the time the movie was over, drama started and I tried to help out with it the best I could. Everything calmed down however and it was all okay. It seems I have noticed that most all drama calms down after a while so it makes you wonder why people can’t just follow the saying, “It’s not the end of the world,” and maybe this all wouldn’t happen? I don’t know, just a thought.
More drama would later happen with Trooper and Bennie Pluto fighting outside and having like 6 squad cars (even 1 unmarked) and a police dog come to the rescue. Pluto and Trooper would then be taken home by Venom. After that more talking would happen, followed by a very tired ride back to Nick’s place with him and Pun. I got back, went to sleep and that was that
Saturday - I woke up to Dan saying a truck was there and he would appreciate it if I could help load the ring for the wrestling show on this day. I got up and came outside to see that they had planned to fit Dan’s ring into a van. That didn’t happen, then when many other options failed they finally were able to transport it using two pick-up’s. Throughout this whole time of things going wrong I was deciding whether or not I wanted to do the show.
Bobby was adamant on doing the show and I had already promised Matt that I would, so we headed to the place after stopping at Taco Bell, fully gimmicked, for some wresting action. More things went wrong when the middle rope broke while they were putting the ring up, but the show must go on and it did. My match changed from wrestling Venom to wrestling Bobby and Joe in a triple threat match.
Very little time to prepare, Bobby, Joe, and I put on the best triple threat match we could through all the obstacles that were being thrown at us. I hope the very little amount of fans got their times worth. I did have a blast wrestling the match though and I think it turned out fairly well. It wasn’t taped, I wish it was.
After wrestling, the three of us headed over to Andrew’s to load the NIW ring for the show in Wisconsin the next day. I stunk, I was sweaty, I was still in my wrestling gear, and my hair was all tangled and junk. I felt gross, but Joe didn’t want to make a quick stop at his place so I went stinky. Ring loading went pretty fast.
After loading, Bobby, Joe, and I left for Best Buy and Arbys. I picked up Roadrunner United at Best Buy, so far I dig it. The best track on it is definitely The Dagger with Killswitch Engage dude and Robb F N Flynn! We got back to the wrestling house and after washing my gimmicks and watching a little TNA IMPACT, I headed to sleep for the next big day of wrestling.
Sunday - Since I went to bed the night before at around 10:30 PM, I got up around 9 or something like that. I got a shit ton of sleep and I was ready for the day. I showered and grabbed my gimmicks from the laundry room and then sat on the computer while I waited for Al to come/other people to get up. Joe and Bobby finally got up about 10 minutes before Al showed up at the door. He played some Warriors in Joe’s room while I brushed my hair and got my gimmicks bags together to go.
We left around 11:45 AM. We had to make a stop at Cub Foods first so I could cash my check and Joe decided to get some food while we were there, which in turn would make me want to get some beverages, which I did and it took kinda long. I got back in the car to Bobby freaking out about a call he got from Andrew, which would make it so I wouldn’t be able to stop at Taco Bell or something, I was really hungry.
Nice chats went down while we were on the road, good times. About 10 minutes away from the event center, Andrew called back and said that we could either stop before Amery or get some 15 cent wings at the event center. Everybody chose the latter and we got there around 1:15 or something like that. Lots of peeps were there, most of them stayed from the night before. I got some wings and bought Bobby some too. They weren’t all that, but they did the job.
Right when I got my second helping of wings, Andrew finally decided to start the unloading process, so I had to down a bunch of wings as fast as I could, it wasn’t very fun. We got the ring unloaded and set-up in a pretty short amount of time and nobody was getting or doing anything so I did a little match with Malikite, it sucked but that is okay.
After my little crappy match I got gimmicked up, very early at this event for some reason, and sat by Bobby and Joe while I was lacing up my boots. Bobby had his Ipod Shuffle whipped out and he was literally screaming the lyrics to the songs that were coming on, I guess it was to annoy somebody or something. It was pretty funny. I hate lacing up my boots, by the way.
Lacing up was done so I talked to Allison for a bit and actually convinced her to jump in the ring for a bit. She gave me a clothesline, a back elbow, a shoulder block, a hip toss, and even took a bump, a couple actually. She did a really good job for being in the ring for the first time ever, I was surprised. I think after that I just sat down with Brian, Tyler, and Casey for a little bit while all the rest of the workers showed up.
And then before we knew it the doors were supposed to be open, so everybody made their way to the back. Nothing much happened before my match went one, I spent most of the time just sitting there wetting my hair. Now I can actually use my spray bottle, and it will actually work because I cut my hair shorter now. Intermission came, and after intermission, my match came.
My new music hit and I came out, to little to no reaction. After a little bit of warming up through the hot crowd responded to me. I wrestled Nate Bash, Dano Tep, and Malikite in a fatal 4-way scramble match, it was supposed to be an IMPACT carnival for the title, but Mr. Dreams got sick or something and couldn’t make it. Something having to do with cheese curds or something. Dano got the cheap pin on me, using his feet on the ropes, the ref was blind and stupid and didn’t see. After the match a section of the crowd chanted, “You got robbed! You got robbed!” That was pretty cool.
I was determined to hit somebody with the goat this weekend and Pun was my target. The set-up was perfect, right after he was done with his match, while he came back through the curtain. I would be waiting with the goat and would then get my rightful 4 kicks in the ass. Little did I know that some shit went down during his match or I probably wouldn’t have done it.
I heard the bell for the end of Cannon and Pun’s match, so I dropped trow, tucked ‘em back, and waited. Expecting Pun to come through the curtain, all of a sudden Ryan Cruz busts through. The look on his face was priceless and I can’t say that I wasn’t a tad embarrassed, because I asked him later if he had seen Waiting, which he hadn’t and I never got my 4 kicks on him, I still owe him! Pun finally would make his way back and sweet, sweet victory was mine. First successful and official goat in NIW history! WHOOO?????
After that I quickly got un-gimmicked to try to make it out to see at least some of Prophet and Jacobs, unfortunately I missed the whole thing. I’ll have to catch it on tape later or something. I did happen to catch all of the main event(s). I hope Krazy is doing better and I hope he can step back in the ring in the very near future. After this, is when the drama started. I am not going to comment on anything that happened for the rest of this night, all I will say is this. I really dislike drunk people…
Monday - Nothing much going on this day. I didn’t do anything Halloweenish and that kinda made me mad. I guess I will have to make up for it this week or something. Evil Dead marathon, here I come! Bobby, Dan, and I went up to the mall to check out some stuff. I didn’t buy anything. Went to Cub after that and I got a lunchable.
Got back and went on the computer while Joe, Dan, Bobby, Michelle, and Skip were downstairs doing whatever. Allison came over and hung out. Most of the time was spent talking about stuff. I tried to convince her to do something Halloweenish but she would have none of it. Later we would go to Burger King, being joined by Bad Man and not order anything, while Bobby ordered 15 dollars worth of food.
She dropped me and him off and then she went home, I took a nap waiting for Joe to take me home. Finally got woken up and slept on the car ride back home. I got back at around 3:30 in the AM.

Fun weekend, I love wrestling. No clue what is going on this weekend. Hopefully something? I don’t know. We will have to see. I’ll state this once again, I really dislike drunk people… and drama. Thanks for reading AND I STILL love you all! Hugs for everybody!
Love.
Brian.
