So last night I’m watching Letterman and it’s ‘Stupid Human Tricks’ time.

Dave announces the first guy and as soon as I heard the name I knew that I knew the dude. Turns out I was right.

Before I get into the story check this out – he kicks himself in the head 30 times in 30 seconds.

So here’s the deal. Back in the mid 90′s I was a pro wrestler. Well, on the western PA indy circuit at least. I did it for a year or so and ended up fucking up my knee pretty badly. At that point I decided that walking was more important than wrestling.

The dude in the Letterman clip is the guy that ‘got me in’ so to speak. At the time a good friend of ours was working for George Romero (of Night of the Living dead fame) and we spent more than a little time at Romero’s home. (ohh, wait…let me pick that name up :) )

Turns out Romero had a neice (or some relation like that) that was dating a guy who was a wrestler. We ended up meeting him a few times and even went to a WWF show with him. We got to talking, I expressed an interest and thanks to my ridiculous behavior, stunning good looks and silly haircut at the time – he asked if I’d like to give it a try.

That wrestler guy is the guy in the Letterman video. He probably taught me more than anyone as far as how to work a match. Really nice guy.

Just a weird little story for you.
