I’m all slept out. I was actually in bed by midnight and I listened to Cisco kid on Ched and passed out after that and woke up around 2am. I got up to do some writing and I was back in the sack around 3:30am. I 700 words already. I’ll have the extra 400 0r more before I head out of here. Anne has the day off so I’ll be braving the –20/23 cold on my own. We’re supposed to have it around the –20* mark up until Thursday then it warms up. That’s about –10F for my American readers.

This afternoon it’s off to work and 4 hours of the job then home to settle in for tonight’s Monday night wrestling. I remember when I was 20 a bunch of us would go to BC TV studio’s where they had their Monday night wrestling there all the time. It was a 1-hour show. They didn’t have the big screen and the flashing lights and intro music for their wrestlers. The official name was NWA All Star Wrestling and went from 1960-1989. Of course WWF was up and coming and All Star couldn’t compete with it and in the summer of 1989 went into decline. I remember we went there quite a lot and I think gate admission was something like $2. They’d get between 300-500 people packed into the studio. We even went to see some of the big events in the Gardens as the story lines would cross over from TV to the main events. But a lot of big name wrestlers got their start their, Roddy Pipier, Rick Rude, Jake Roberts even Rick Martel. Here’s a pretty good link to my early wrestling days. I mean as a fan of course.
