Day 280 of 365 days.

Ow. Ow ow ow. Oh my god, ow.

I had a wrestling show today. In good old Wheeling West Virginia in front of an excited 28 fans. Woohoo! It wasn’t the smallest crowd I’ve ever wrestled in front of, but it was pretty down there. I was the third match, and from the sound of the first two matches, the crowd was pretty dead. You can’t blame them, I guess, it was a new location for us, so you have to figure a lot of people didn’t know who we were. But my opponent, Sean Dahmer, and I decided we wanted to wake them up a little bit. I guess we got their attention because as I was working his leg with submission moves (something the crowd usually finds boring, but which is quite effective) the crowd was not only booing me, but cheering him on to come back. We eventually brawled through the crowd a little bit, and after giving me a snapmare (which basically means grabbing me around the neck and flipping me over his shoulder so I land on my butt on the ground in front of him), Dahmer kicked me hard in the back. His toes shot right into my kidney. I saw white for a moment.

Adrenaline did carry me through the rest of the match, which I lost, but which I think was reasonably entertaining. But as soon as I got back stage, I just plopped down. The longer its been since then, the more it hurts. Driving home was extremely uncomfortable.

Why do I do this again? Oh yeah, I love it. Sometimes I forget.

Oh yeah, oh yeah… go vote in my sexiness poll. It’ll make me feel better.
