CrossFit
On my way home from running errands earlier I stopped by this gym called Body Construction to see about personal training. I ended up chatting with the owner for an hour and told him all about my move, my aspiration of becoming a pro wrestler, and my weight loss. After inquiring a little more about what exactly I thought I needed he mentioned this program called CrossFit, which I had heard of but...

This = Love
In less twelve hours’ time time I will officially be a resident of Tampa, Florida. It’s such an unreal notion that I’m not sure if I believe that it’s happening myself. This move has been the single most important decision that I’ve made in my entire life. I couldn’t be happier, but I’m also scared as hell. Life will never be the same after this. I’m...

Moment 4 Life
I honestly have no words for how absolutely phenomenal this weekend was except that it was the best weekend of my life. A few weeks back when I found out that I wasn’t able to go to MITB I was gutted, but now I realize that if I had gone to that then I wouldn’t have been able to go to SummerSlam. It was so refreshing to be around so many people that share the same passion as I do for...

Work ethic has been on my mind a lot lately. As you may or may not know I recently started a new job in the stockroom of Victoria’s Secret. It’s way different than my old job as a sales associate. It involves a lot of lifting, moving, climbing, etc. and I leave everyday absolutely exhausted. I also leave completely satisfied. It makes me feel fantastic to know that not only am I making...

If you’re not scared, then your heart’s not in it. -My coworker Shannon
Yesterday I was sitting on my bed thinking about the future and I got really scared out of nowhere. I just kept asking myself the same questions, “What if I don’t make it? What will I do then?” I literally cannot imagine my future without wrestling. I can picture myself finishing school, getting...

What drives your passion?
mericuhlife:
I’m just sitting here thinking about that question. Passion, in this case, being wrestling. Why are we (the members of the TWC) so passionate about wrestling? Not what made you fall in love with it initially, but what keeps you coming back? What about it makes you so emotional - shed so many tears?
This whole line of questioning was basically spurred by a tweet from Meghan telling...

I had this weird moment tonight...
mericuhlife:
It was right when the three count was made and CM Punk became the WWE Champion. I jumped off of the couch, which I had previously been sitting on the edge of, and started screaming. Initially I was screaming because Punk had won. That was it. Not because he was WWE Champion, not because it was his last match, but simply because he had won. He won this absolutely incredible match...

I can’t stop thinking about Randy Savage’s death. I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s affecting me, but it’s definitely made a huge impact. There are just those people that define wrestling to me. They are wrestling. Macho Man was one of them. From my years as a sporadic fan to these last four or so years as an absolute diehard, I can’t imagine my “journey” of becoming this in love...

This whole thing with Edge really hits home for me. Years ago my mom was involved in a car accident where some girl slammed into her car. It broke her neck, but she was lucky enough to survive and not become paralyzed. Because of the trauma, the discs in her neck began degenerating. Within the last few years it had gotten so bad that the doctors told her if she didn’t have surgery...
