Okay before I start this involves wrestling quite a bit, so try not to rain on my parade, okay, but I would really like it if you too read on...
Yesterday, Friday April 23, originally was going to be another day in my miserable existence, it would probably be another depressing Friday as I would be home alone, dateless, friendless, pennyless (but that's because I'm a slacker). But then I remember there was going to be a wrestling show with an awesome main event so I was swinging into high. I took a shower in the morning for a change (as I had time and didn't sleep in) and felt really awake and rejuvenated for the day ahead.
The day at school didn’t go too bad, first hour as usual, I talked through class (which was sex ed) and that was fun. Second hour, I went on the internet during International Business and cut and paste a few more songs on this very board (everyone knows how fun THAT is for me). Third hour, we had a sub instead of my regular dipshit World History teacher and I listened to Sammy Hagar and Montrose through the hour as it was a work day. Fourth Hour was English, which wasn’t bad but it wasn’t as great as the rest of those hours, but then again Lunch was in the middle of it which made it by default the best hour of the day.
The fifth hour I think I did well on a quiz in Advanced Algebra, plus the world made sense again. You see there is this fat bitch I really hate who talks so much and is pretty mean to me, she makes me yearn for a Pauley Shore marathon on TV, yes she is that bad to listen too and be around. I originally thought everyone in the class liked her but then I heard the teacher say (after the bitch left) to the kids on that side of the room not to make fun of her. I then said (this coming out of left field as no one knew I knew her) “Trust me she deserves it, all she does is talk talk talk on my bus” (laugh from the class) “God I rather have a brain tumor than have to listen to her again” (big laughs from the class, despite the politically incorrect humor, but hell it’s high school). Usually only the right side of the class laughs at my jokes as they are mostly sophomores from my old junior high but I got the whole class laughing this time including a chick I have the hots for, who finally notices me a bit, instead of seeing me as a bottom feeding lowlife scum bag stoner (which is true but still a generalization).
Finally I got on the bus and my batteries were on ultra low (since I was listening to the rest of the Montrose/Sammy Hagar CD I made because I finished the quiz early), and I had to make it through the bus ride with the annoying bitch who brought on a male friend, which I was surprised that any man would hang out with her. As I mentioned earlier I was listing to my CD player and never got to listen to him and I took my head phones off after she left the bus, and everyone was pretty sure he was gay from his voice. This is the third time that I thought people liked her but don’t, thankfully. Of course the one above is the second. The day earlier on the bus, some stoner kid was sitting next to her and flirting with her which really made me sick. Then after she got off the bus, another stoner kid that I don’t like, comes up to him and say “what the hell are you thinking, that is one nasty bitch”. Now me and him are polar opposite but we agree on that, so my faith in humanity was restored. Right as I got off the bus, my batteries died, talk about perfect timing.
I went home and we decided to go to the show early and originally was going to get cheap $20 tickets but my dad let me have an extra $20. He dropped me off at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul. I decided to see what I could get for $30 buck and ended up getting nice seats. Then to kill some time I decided to get some pack of Camels and I succeeded with my gray hair. I smoked two and then got in line for the show. I got in and I then only had what I thought was two bucks not even enough for the overpriced milk. So I went into the show, it was an okay beginning for a die hard wrestling fan like me. Then during intermission I decided to check my wallet and I had 3 bucks not 2 which with 75 cents I had in my pocket was JUST enough for a pop. After this I heard a guy talking about a free wrestling show after this one and asked him for info and noticed it was the one I wanted to go to a couple months earlier (but I decided to use the saved money for Van Halen tickets) and now I could go free.
The main event came, it was World Champion Chris Benoit (the best wrestler today and my favorite wrestler of today) against Triple H (I guy I hate legitimately because he’s an egomanical jerk backstage). Boy was it a good match. NOTE TO NON-WRESTLING FANS IF YOU WANT TO SEE WHAT WE LIKE, DON”T WATCH ALL THE CRAP ON MONDAY NIGHT, WATCH CHRIS BENOIT WRESTLE, AGAIN WATCH CHRIS BENOIT WRESTLE, IT WON’T SEEM SO DUMB THEN. Benoit beat Triple H which had me lose myself in the moment and I jumped up a cheered with all the other fans.
I left the Xcel and then went through the walkway and went by the Roy Wilken’s Auditorium, I saw some great looking chicks dancing half naked but I decided not to leave my dad waiting as the last time I went to a show I got lost in Minneapolis for two hours bought $100 bucks of pot but got about $25 stolen from a black dude who I shoved afterwards and now I’m relatively surprised his whole group didn’t beat me up for shoving him. But right as I got out I was relieved to see my dad waiting in the car. I asked him to go to this free wrestling show (Ring of Honor) and he said he’d drop me off.
Well I had trouble finding where to enter and I saw a referee at the back of the building, this referee was none other than RICKY ‘THE DRAGON” STEAMBOAT. I shook the man who put on so many great matches in his career. NOT TO NON-WRESTLING FANS TRY TO GET A RICKY STEAMBOAT MATCH, THAT WILL ALSO MAKE YOU A WRESTLING FAN, YOU’LL SEE HOW WRESTLING IS AWESOME. But I shook a personal heroes hand, I just watched Ricky Steamboat vs. Ric Flair for the NWA World Title, from 1989, a couple hours ago and I realized that I shook the champion’s hand.
Anyway, I heard about Ring of Honor (ROH) through the internet and I thought I would see a bunch of goofy high spots through the first match (which was actually the sixth as I came from the WWE show) but it turned out to be a well WRESTLED match throughout. I also saw there were teenagers my age at the show rather than the parents and kids show I was expecting. It was nice to see other big wrestling fans my age. It was American Dragon vs. CM Punk and it was refereed by Ricky Steamboat (the guy’s hand who I shook) and again it was a well WRESTLED match. Dragon won, BTW.
The final match of the night was Samoa Joe vs. Homicide for the ROH Title. But the part of the crowd I was in was out of it. Pointless (but funny) chants began like “Take-his-keys” at a drunk guy who tried to chant back “I’m driving” which sounded like Torgo. The main fans were chanting “187" which was apparently a finisher but the drunks started chanting “8675309". A couple fans started chanting “Homocide” which resulted in Homicide teasing to jump the railing at which point some of the fans pointed at some poor smuck. The referee got a nose bleed, and the fans started yelling “the ref’s bladed” (which is when a wrestler takes a blade to cut themselves to bleed). Then another funny spot was when Samoa Joe whipped Homicide into the railing and they ended up knocking some goofy kid over.
The end of the match came when Homicide hit Samoa Joe with a fireball, it was a non finish but the night was not over. A bunch of good guys started to attack Homocide and they did a couple of fun high flying moves. Steamboat got his revenge on CM Punk (who attacked him earlier) and beat him down with the Briscoe Brothers.
Overall it was a great day. Never have I been blind sided with HAPPINESS instead of misery, I didn’t even need MST3K for the day (not dissing MST3K but I usually watch it when I’m down to make me happy again)
