WrestleMania 22!

What a weekend! My voice is still hoarse and my body is constantly reminding me that getting less than ten hours of sleep in the last three days is not a good idea, but it was so totally worth it. If fate is on my side, I will do it again next year, this time in Detroit, Michigan – Ford Field.

Now for some notes:

- Holy shit! Holy shit!...Ringside seats, camera side, row 6...Holy shit! Holy shit!

- From what I remember, the people that I met came from: Boston, Detroit, San Francisco, St. Louis, Alabama, Tennessee, Oregon, Wisconsin, Texas, Indiana, Florida, Louisiana, New York, Ireland, Germany, England, Scotland, Australia, New Zealand.

- You know it’s time to go to bed when it’s two in the morning and you’re outside with an Australian and an Irishmen talking about being in a river with a crocodile, and an Englishmen who kept on shouting out, “Booze” and “Broads”.

- Hey Carl, you were right: people from Tennessee skip the middle syllables of any word that has more than two, speaking only the first and last (i.e. Shelbyville is Shelville).

- WrestleMania 22 set a record as it became the largest single day event in AllState Arena history, grossing more than $2.5 million. Glad to know that my $1,400 travel package, $60 jersey, $40 hooded jacket, $30 long sleeve t-shirt, two $25 short sleeve t-shirts, $20 program, $20 hat, $10 dog tag, and $5 ticket holder was all part of history in the making.

- When was the last time you shouted and screamed for joy? Seeing where I was sitting after a 402 day journey was a bittersweet ending. I felt like Frodo Baggins winning the WWE World Heavyweight Title.

- A few rows ahead were two people that kept on pissing people off because their Israeli flag was blocking people’s views. Why do “those people” always have to be in other people’s business? Dumb Jews...

- The WrestleMania 22 DVD comes out May 23. I figure since I was on TV, there's a good chance that I'll be on the DVD. If that's the case, I will be accepting bookings for autograph appearances shortly.
