One Legged Former Wrestler, Zach Gowen, Kicks Ass on American Ninja Warrior

I remember watching Zach Gowen during his run in the WWE and being as impressed with his mental approach to life as his physical approach. He’s no longer in the WWE but he’s still showing how he can overcome obstacles using a combination of physical and mental toughness. Pretty amazing!

Ricochet vs. Will Ospreay Full Match

Happy 9th Birthday Pace!

Pace had his (real) birthday last Thursday on May 19 and it’s been a crazy, fun-filled weekend since then. (Speaking of “crazy, fun-filled weekends”, Shea and I live in dread of having a kid who has his birthday on May long weekend when he gets older!) 😉 On his actual birthday, we had a nice […]

Music Monday – “Buddy’s real talent was beating people up/His heart wasn’t in it but the crowd ate it up”

Following up on yesterday’s post, John Scott capped an amazing run that, if it was a movie script, would be rejected as too unbelievable – starting as a joke write-in candidate for the NHL all-star game, getting traded and demoted, his all-star berth in doubt, fighting back against the powers that be, both directly and with […]
