My Son is Going to the Texas Wrestling Academy

[musclemom]

Nope, I'm not making this up. He wants to see if he's got what it takes to be a pro wrestler. He did stunt work in an independent film last year, apparently it whetted his appetite.

Before anyone asks, yes, he has and will maintain a full time job, no, he's not huge but has lifted seriously for several years and he doesn't juice.

That is all.

Cool

Good luck to him.

Man he's going to be 28 years old in a month, he's been in the Air Force, married & divorced, has a college degree, supports himself and is pursuing something he enjoys. Just exactly what do you think his mommy can tell him? Besides has no delusions.

Maybe, maybe not. He's agile, leaning toward technical. He promised me if he does go to the dark side he won't be stupid, we'll talk.

If he makes it big I will set him up a cycle of jabroneybol

I did it. Its great. Fucking work though. Tore my right medial meniscus landing wrong. Then had a comparative MRI done because my left knee felt wrong to my ortho in the hands on exam when comparing it to the right and turned out the left knee problem wasnt just the old mensicus tear i knew i had from high school but a completely torn and wasted ACL. I said piss on it and dropped out after that.

Tons and tons of drugs in wrestling. Tons of rec drugs too. Alot of those indy guys who are still doing it even though they now realize they will never make it to the WWE are walking time bombs.
There is a guy in the Fed I was going to wrestle for (he was in the movie "The Wrestler") He's like 6'0" 295, about 28% bf. Big muscles under alot of fat. Constantly on some sort of juice, Narco pain killers after shows, drinks like a fish, always into coke. OMFG....its unreal.
Met Jimmy Snuka....talk about rec drugs....holy shit!!

Its good that he has life experience and goes into it with his eyes wide open. Young kids with starry eyes get chewed up and spit out by this business.

The movie "The Wrestler" pretty much nails life for guys NOT in the WWE.
