Wow. It’s been a long time since I last posted. Too long. I started this blog with good intentions and high hopes, and it kind of fizzled out. I’ve noticed a trend in my life. I start out really excited about things and eventually, reality sets in and they fizzle. Ever since I was a kid I’ve loved wrestling. I look at it as an art form. People step into a square, surrounded by steel, and slam each other onto springs, wood, and canvas. It seems kind of silly if you put it like that.
But it’s more than that to me. I can’t explain it, but it captivates me. People bring us characters, whether good or bad, to cheer or boo. I’m 23 years old and I haven’t “grown out of it.” I did about four months of training about a year ago to fulfill that childhood dream. I got busy and took an extended amount of time away from training. I missed it. I keep saying I want to go back and yet, I don’t do it.
I’ve found in my life that I don’t usually stop doing things out of sheer laziness. I think I’ve realized that although I love wrestling and really want to get involved in it, I’m not suited for in ring competition. I never did sports growing up. I’m not athletic or coordinated. This isn’t a self diss session. I’m just realizing where my strengths lie.
Which brings me to this blog. Writing is and always has been my outlet. I love writing and I think I’ve just made excuses and taken myself away from it for too long. So, I’m going to start writing again, both creatively with my fiction projects and for this blog. I think if I can find a way to write for the wrestling business, whether that would be storyline writing or something as simple as show previews/recaps, that would be great. I know a few people in the independent wrestling business and I want to try to find some sort of outlet for that.
In the meantime, I have complete creative freedom on this blog. So, I mentioned doing wrestler interviews, and I think I want to start doing those. I’ve talked to some people about it and I’m going to try to set up my first wrestler interview in the next couple of days.
So, if anyone is reading, I want to start updating this more often and making an effort. Feel free to leave me a comment with your thoughts, questions, ideas, etc.
Thanks.

Kevin. You are an amazing writer. You have shown me that you love this business and I would like to see you return to the School of Hard Knocks. We will take our time with you if you would like. Some of our guys such as Bino and a few others struggled with some of the moves and seemed very uncoordinated, yet they became great wrestlers. Thank you Kevin.

Jesse, your words of encouragement really mean a lot to me. I suppose I could give it another shot.
