I’ve had the idea for this post for quite a while now and I’m finally getting around to actually writing it. I’m not quite sure where its headed, but I’m guessing it’s going to be a bit of a rant. For those readers that aren’t in the mood to listen to me bitch about what’s wrong with the wrestling feel free to move along.
Still with me? OK… here goes. In no particular order.
You think Hogan looks old here? This was in 2008!
Mandatory Retirement Age
Now before you get your panties in a bunch realize that I’m not… Continue reading
Once again this year, Pip made his yearly trek to the Cleveland area for a weekend of reliving memories and debauchery. This year’s trip happened to coincide with Opening Day for the Indians so we headed down to the stadium to take in a game with my brother Marko and buddy Al. Pip had never been to the stadium so it was super cool to have a “first timer” there though I can’t say the Tribe played all that well… we were down 14-0 in the 4th inning. At least I can say that the didn’t roll over and die… Continue reading
WrestleMania 27 is just a few days away and just as in many previous years there is a “celebrity” on the card. I’ve got celebrity in quotes there cause personally I don’t consider Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi from MTV’s Jersey Shore a celebrity. That said, most of the known universe (and certainly much of the WWE universe) knows who she is so Vince shelled out what I’m sure I’d consider way too much money to bring her to the biggest WWE pay-per-view of the year.
Each year as part of our festivities, Pip and I watch the show, drink a few… Continue reading
There’s recently been a hash tag topic on Twitter called #100FactsAboutMe. The idea is to tweet 100 facts about yourself (I suppose). One afternoon I decided that this would be a great idea cause let’s face it… people want to know all about Chewie. So… without further build up here’s my list:
- I’m part of the @clevelanddotcom Twitter Twenty! #CLE20
- I live in Cleveland but I’m a Steeler fan. In my defense, I grew up in Pittsburgh.
- I chewed tobacco for 17+ years. When I quit I started http://www.killthecan.org/ to help others quit.
- I’m adopted. So is my brother… Continue reading
I recently got a new Verizon iPhone 4 for work purposes so I’m officially out of the Blackberry nation. I have to say that I enjoyed my Blackberry but now that I’m used to it this iPhone is just SO… MUCH… BETTER. There are a ton of iPhone reviews out there so I won’t bother going into it here. The biggest upgrade that I see from my Curve 2 is the camera. This thing is epic and takes awesome pictures. Here’s a couple of my recent random shots… enjoy.
This is simply a shot of my shirtsleeve. I love this… Continue reading
I recently went on a quick trip to Vegas for work – in on Wednesday out on the “red-eye” on Friday evening. The show was great and I managed to get in a little bit of time at the tables which was nice as well. In preparation for my trip, I loaded up the iPod with quite a few flicks to make sure that I’d have plenty to keep me busy on the trip and associated layovers. I do have a couple of WrestleMania shows for The WrestleMania Project but I typically tend to take a lot of notes during… Continue reading
I’m a big professional wrestling geek… have been for more years that I care to remember. If you’re a regular 406 reader you already know this. Pip and I get together every year and build the Beeramid based on that year’s drinking game. I often tell people that professional wrestling is a soap opera for guys but that’s probably giving it too much credit. Bottom line is after all of these years I still really enjoy watching it. Sure I don’t follow it to the extent that I did back in the day but I can tell you that… Continue reading
WrestleMania 25 is just recently in the books. It wasn’t great but there were a couple of REALLY good matches. WrestleMania weekend for me always means going back and reliving some of those great matches from past events. It’s rare that this list is modified, but thanks to the Dead Man and Mr. WrestleMania this year, it was. Honorable mentions and The Top Ten are listed in order of occurrence (oldest to newest). Keep in mind that this is MY list. I’m sure there are those out there that will put some others in their top ten – I’m an… Continue reading
A tradition started a few years ago…
Construct a fortress to geekdom…
Construct… the Beeramid.
Pip and I started this tradition while watching WrestleMania one year and we’ve continued it every time he’s come to visit since then. Now, just the thought of the upcoming weekend has me giddy like a little school girl. I simply cannot wait. And while it’s certainly not the amount of beer that we’ve drunk in the past, you do have to keep in mind that I’m an old married guy with two kids, Pip’s in an uber-serious relationship and NEITHER of us have been… Continue reading
