[1] A severe criminal offense according to the English teachers at St. Paul Academy, the wonderful high school that developed the writer the four or so of you read today.
[2] And countless others
[3] I am sorry to any homosexuals who may be offended by that statement, but that is actually what I did- I sat them down one evening after dinner and admitted I liked this form of entertainment. That said I still have trouble handling this revelation, for example sometimes when I am home from college and watching it on the television I will change the channel when one of them walks into the room. Why? I have no idea – but probably out of embarrassment. And while I could probably see a shrink or something for that, I can’t think of anything more embarrassing then going into a shrinks office plopping down on the weird sofa/bed hybrid piece of furniture and saying something along the lines of, “doc I have a problem, I like professional wrestling.”
[4] While I’d liken this reaction to him being the epitome and stereotype of a stingy money man – a Jewish accountant, even the fan in me has to admit the price is a bit high. But hey, that is the plight of modern day fan, considering major promotions expect us to throw out 55 dollars every month to order their PPV. Oh and by the way, if you are wondering, I’m not stupid enough to do that. Also if you are wondering, I do see the irony of a wrestling fan saying, “I’m not stupid enough to do that.”
[5] I promise Mom I give you all 100%.
[6] My own personal excuse is that I was still mourning the injury/death of Ricky Rubio.
[7] This is one of the problems when Hunter S Thompson is one of your writing idols.
[8] Any wrestling geek will understand the historical significance of this fact.
[9] Sorry Butcher, please don’t put me in a headlock.
[10] Once again, I’m sorry and I beg you, please don’t suplex me.
[11] Those critics possible even reading this, must really love my footnotes then.
[12] I wrote in the content report when Vachon brought this up “… it did go a little far, and the complete 180 on narrative direction’s he took occasionally left the reader holding the book in bewilderment.”
[13] Besides being one of the handful or so assistant content editors and writing a multipage report, thanks to a textbook and the communication classes at Ball State I edited and wrote the press release.
[14] Unless for whatever reason they find out through this or some other fashion.
