I got a nap on Sunday morning of about a half hour. I then went to see the new Harry Potter movie in the afternoon.
Florida is nice and hot. My rental car was a cream colored PT Cruiser, I felt like a complete tool driving it, but it did have Sirius installed so I felt at home behind the wheel.
Speaking of the Cruisers, maybe it was just my heightened awareness but does everyone in FL have a PT Cruiser?
I spent more money on tolls than on food!
The Peterson Cup was very good. The final match between Matt Cross and Chris Hero was match of the weekend.
TJ Mack showed real fire in his match on the 2nd night – the more aggresive style is one he should stick with. Kirby made it through to the semi-finals, thanks to his “You’re Screwed” backcracker from the corner (very nice move), but Chris Hero had him well scouted. I was proud to say that “I came for the Macks.”
Met David Kocotos from www.kocosports.com - be sure to check them out, he was at ringside getting some photos. His site covers MMA/Wrestling/Boxing and lots of the Florida indys.
Also at ringside for the tourny was the lovely Mary-Kate Grosso. Always a pleasure to see her.
I have three days of photos to go through this week…I’m not sure when they will be posted…CWA from Thursday will be up possibly Wednesday or Thursday…the Peterson Cup may be next week as I only have Wed. & Thurs. off work…
