Where when a “Pro” Wrestling event comes to town, 60 people show up.
Where the show starts 1.25 hours later with no entertainment or announcements before the start.
Where the wrestlers are either normal size, obese, shorter than I am, or pick your own combination.
My dad’s friend described wrestling as the blue-collar opera. I say, you are correct, my friend. Hunting hats, wrestling shirts, and unwashed longhaired men surrounded me---and their kids too, who seemed to really get into the act.
I knew pro wrestling was fake prior to tonight, but this reminded me of fight scenes in old movies—really inept facial expressions that ensue after little to no impact. The outfits were good enough for them to make it on People of Wal-Mart:

Storyline (which I learned that pro wrestling has bad guys and good guys):
1. Italian mobster (bad guys) beat up on high school boy.
2. High school boy gets one slam
3. Then they leave and Two Asians (the bad guys) and two Americans come have it out with each other.
4. Asians win (of course)…
5. They leave and their bad gangster friends come out, one named Remix. An obese Mario brother comes out—the real Mario would be very disappointed in the weight that he has gained….
6. Mario sadly loses due to lack of oxygen.
7. Next up: Gay guy wearing pink vs. Mohawk, redneck skinny man.
8. Gay guy is really funny, but loses to the redneck (go figure).
9. Last witnessed match: Swiss guy (bad guy) vs. Purple pants. Not sure who won.
My dad joined me on this evening of fun, which is very fitting due to his close resemblance to a wrestler named Goldberg.
This is him with Goldberg. 
Well, we enjoyed our time together mocking the wrestling and then leaving before the show ended.
The best part about this week’s event was shopping with my mom in the little boy’s section in Wal-Mart, for the only wrestling shirt we could find--$5.
Salvation Army, you failed me this time (although I found three great unexpected items)—thanks, Wal-Mart!
Next Week:
Pirate Punch—entails me wearing a pirate wench outfit that includes a patch and sword. My mom says it’s impossible to make ME look like a whore—I say, nothing is impossible if you believe…
