This past weekend was phenomenal! Left Spartanburg in the ER Expo along with Thomas Simpson, the Mack Brothers, Kirby and TJ. Destination: Sanford, NC and the Dennis A. Wicker Civic Center for Live Action Wrestling.
The entire trip there Kirby kept complaining about his tapeworm and how it keeps him from gaining weight. Got there about 3pm. Met Chris, one of the owners. Got to meet CW Anderson – it was his first night back in the ring after some medical problems. Huge crowd for LAW.
ER couldn’t keep his eyes on the road wanting TJ to show him his toe again.
The show was great, lots of new faces. A few familiar ones too – Darrell Kelly, Dustin Abrams, Steven Walters, Tom Williams, Myric Moore, KLONDIKE!!!, and Jaime Tucker.
Kirby and TJ had the match of the night. I ain’t just blowing smoke either, it was spectacular.
The highlight of the night was where we stayed. Went to a truck stop to eat with Matt Hardy. And then we stayed the night at his house. Can you believe that shit? I told ER that if you had told me this was going to happen six months ago, I don’t think I would have believed it. Matt was as down to earth as someone who lives right here in my hometown. We watched some parts of the online “Matt Hardy Show” which were great, it was the first time I had ever seen the “Show”. Got to meet “The Legend” – Papa Hardy. Dragged myself up to bed at 5am, and was up at 8.30. It was a good kind of tired though……
Left out from Hardy House at noon, stopped at Golden Corral for lunch. If you have read ER’s blog you know that I thwarted an attempt at gucking up my drink…Blake ain’t afraid to ask for another drink.
The trip back included a spinal injury when I nearly fell out of the truck while doing my Su Doku puzzles. You younguns should really be nice to your elders…if you are I’ll knit you some nice toilet paper cozies.
Got back to Spartanburg at 4.30, had to run some errands and then went to the WWC Saturday Night Live show. Good crowd, about 65 people. I was very happy to see my cuz Ethan Cage come down to the show. Afterwards, we all headed back up to Spartanburg and had a meal at Pancake House.
Thanks again to Thomas, Kirby and TJ for allowing me to be a part of the trip. Thanks to Matt for letting us crash at your house. Thanks for Chris for letting me shoot the show, I hope to be able to come back.
Still very tired…AWC on Friday night in Greenville, then SWA on Saturday night in Forest City.
