Wrestling editorial; SAAL 1 interview
Pro Wrestling
If I could do it all over again, I would become a professional wrestler and give the fans a "once (or twice) in a lifetime" match against The Rock, one of my idols in and out of the ring, at WrestleMania. Or maybe not. I hate exercise as much as I love the idea of grappling with Kurt Angle and talking trash on the microphone while The Rock stands behind me listening attentively, applauding and nodding as I deliver scathing oratories to my cowering opponent.
On second thought, instead of performing moonsaults (a backflip into a body splash) off the top rope, how about I just write about the wrasslers who do those things for my entertainment? Yesterday I wrote about the 2014 Royal Rumble and a fan movement in support of Daniel Bryan that picked up speed at the Rumble event. Check it out here: http://camelclutchblog.com/this-isnt-about-daniel-bryan-its-about-you/.
This isn't the first time I've stepped into the squared circle via my monitor. I wrote a few articles for Wrestlezone.com in 2011, and my latest article went over well enough that one of the WZ writers who spun off his own site asked me to contribute on a weekly basis. We'll see how that goes. As much as I genuinely enjoy pro wrestling and love talking and thinking about it, I honestly don't feel I could say anything that writers who follow the sport for a living could say better. But as long as it's fun, I'll continue writing about headlocks instead of performing them.

Coverage for SAAL 1 has mostly tapered off, though I'm doing my best to keep an ebb and flow going. Yesterday, Frontburnr.net posted an excellent interview with me, which you can read here: http://www.frontburnr.net/openworldgaming/stay-awhile-with-david-craddock/.
