Went to GOUGE last night with Kirby and Derek Ryze. Left Spartanburg about 2.15pm. Took about 3 1/2 hours to get there. Had some time to kill, so I went next door to the Vertigo Diner with Jennifer and Heather Fox. The food portions at the diner were more than adequate. Their homemade chips were nice and salty. This was the first time I have actually been able to sit and talk to the Fox ladies without all the wrestling stuff going on around us. Let me just say too, the Foxes know people!
The show had a good turn out, I would say close to 60 people. Everybody wanted to know where ER and Ostgard were at. Got to see Dick Foley in hardcore action!
While out back admiring the sites of Raleigh, we ran into a celebrity who happened to be in town. None other than Eddie Murphy! Kirby sent him down to talk to Derek and I as we were supposed to have money. Why would a rich celebrity need five more dollars to buy a NC ID card so he can get on a bus to head to Utah the next day? I had to tell “Eddie” that I never brought cash to wrestling, so he was out of luck. Derek steadfastly refused to make eye contact with him. We had a similar encounter at a gas station off I85 later in the morning, but this poor girl was no celebrity. Unless you consider looking like “white trash wife #3″ from COPS to be celebrity.
The match between Kirby and Derek was great. It had just the right amounts of humor and serious mat work to keep everyone entertained. Practically flawless and everything looked crisp.
Our late supper was at the Ale House, where Jimbo made some new friends in the facilities.
Got back to Spartanburg at 3.45 am.
