And.....scene.....
Wow!!! That's about all I can really say about my past weekend's experience...ah who am I kidding?! I can't shut up, I always have something to say. So here it goes...
Friday: Ya know, the night before a road trip one might think that you'd want to get a good night's sleep but not Mr. Cannon, Mr. Corbin or myself. Darin and I decide to head for Cannon's roughly around 3am and arrive around 4'ish, stay up to watch some tapes and then head to bed around 8am. The clincher is that we had to be up and on the road by 9:30am....ISH! So we pick up Mr. Envy at his home and hit the road to Burlington, Iowa for a double-shot weekend of NWA No-Limits. Damn was that some ruckus...between Darin not knowing how to properly drink a bottle of Squirt and numerous other goofiness, it was a really good trip. So we arrive to the building and I meet the new faces. It was very cool to meet Steve Corino and Abyss (who is one large mamma-jamma)as well as formerly meeting Ian Rotten. The show was really fun to watch all the way through. After the show we head to perkins for some post-show goodness. The Chikara crew is an awesome bunch. They were able to convince this group of girls that were part of this "Motown" singers group or whatever to come and sing to us. And they sang none other than "The Final Countdown" by Europe...A-W-E-S-O-M-E-!-! Anyhoo, after the plates were clean we headed to the hotel 50 miles north in Muscatine, Iowa. We ended up crashing in Jimmy Jacobs and Josh Abercrombie's room and man....that was some fun right there. Too much craziness to try to explain I tell ya. Sleep followed...much need sleep that is.
Saturday: Woke up around 1'ish, gathered all the clan up and headed to the Golden Coral (or something to that effect) Restaurant. Now this wasn't the greatest place in the world but oh well, its a buffet and that's where I get my money back. The best part about the meal was when we were finishing up, Abercrombie purposely tipped his chair over backwards, nailing his head on the table behind us. Our waitress rushes over to his aid and asks him if he's okay to which he replies, "I'm good...are you okay?" Talk about funny stuff. Anyhoo, after the meal we all piled into the Chikara van and headed to a thrift store. 8 of us bought these totally rockin' Coca Cola Crew fleece vest at a buck fifty each!! Talk about a steal. From there it was back to the hotel for some swimming, and swam we did. Actually not so much swimming as it was a bunch of big kids being goofs. Canadian destroyers, half 'n' half suplexes, german suplexes, rubics cubes and numerous other wrestling moves were done in and around the pool area. From there we dryed off and headed to the show. On this night I was to have my NWA No-Limits debut in a six-man tag with Darin Corbin and Joey Envy as my partners to take on the trio of Trik Davis, Emil Sitoci and Shane Storm. The match was pretty good but it ended when both Trik and Emil CHEATED and hit me with an illegal tag team double snapmare driver. It was a fantastic experience and I would love to make it back there some day. After the show we head back to the hotel to gather the rest of our things and say our goodbyes. I don't remember much about the trip cause I slept quite a bit.
Sunday: We arrived back to Cannon's around 8am and hit the hay until about 1:30pm. We showered and headed to MPW. On this night I would be in a 4-way survival match against "The Suntan Superman" Cody O'Neill, Nate Bash and Joessiah. The match was pretty good but ended when Bash was nailed with the shining wizard from Cody. So two matches this weekend and two losses for me. After the match, Cody was joined by Aaron Corbin to do a bit of teaming up on me. Darin hit the ring to make the save but we forgot about Aaron who nailed us with a ladder as we turned around. Our heads were then put in between the ladder rungs and Cody and Aaron proceeded to hit it with chairs. OUCH! So when I gathered my senses I hit the trail for the weekly applebees goodness. Wow did I have a good time. The table where I spent most of my evening was with Wayne the picture god, Bigg Mack, Rob Page, Kim, Laura and Julie. Awesome fun was had but it had been a long weekend so back to the humble abode for some sleep.
Its currently wednesday morning and all I can think about is this saturday. I am so ready for this weekend and I hate that its still so far away. But hopefully the week will progress quickly and we can get to the show and Darin and I can finally get our tag titles back.
So I came up for a name for my ending quote. Since its usually by Darin I just decided to name it as follows.
