Post a pic of you around the holidays as a kid…
A family at Christmas time. A boy is in a William “The Refrigerator” Perry T-shirt, a Chicago Bears hat, and is holding up 3 WWF LJN wrestling figures he just got for Christmas: Nicolai Volkoff in his right hand and Hillbilly Jim and Roddy Piper in his left hand. His mom and dad are behind him. His dad is in a wheelchair, paralyzed from the waist down and his mom is on her knees next to her husband

Of course I’m religious. I believe in the Holy Trinity.
A screenshot of the pro wrestling tag team known as The Fabulous Freebirds. Buddy Jack Roberts on the left in a short stocky blonde that was the weak link of the team and the one to take the abuse to keep other two strong. Terry “Bam Bam” Gordy is in the center. He was the enforcer and bad ass of the group. On the right is Michael “PS” Hayes. He was the talker of the group. He could get the crowd to want to kill them and was the one the crowd wanted to see get beat up. This trio wrestled all over the world but made their biggest mark in Texas feuding against the Von Erich brothers for the World 6 Man Tag Titles. This picture is from the weekly TV show that aired on TBS on Saturday Nights: World Championship Wrestling.

Not enough bad things can happen to Rudy. Each day of the rest of his life should be as bad as he claims this has been. GFY Rudy.
Final scene from Gone With The Wind. Rhett Butler telling Scarlett O’Hara “Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn.”

Happy Caturday from La Parka and Mysterio. La Parka is exhausted already, waiting for the game and Mysterio is ready to pounce on those stinking Racers. Go Big Blue.
