"It's still real to me, dammit"

Last night, #1 nephew thought he was boarding a bus with Evan, G, Lurch and The Kidd to go to a mall in Jersey to "buy hats and meet girls". Instead, he was surprised with an evening of the great sport:



Needless to say, nephew was a VERY happy young man and got very very into it!



It was just one of those great nights. Kudos to the men for coming along. My nephew had a blast, as did I. I'm glad he can see Ric Flair before Flair is barred from the ring forever. Jeff Jarrett phrased it perfectly in a History Channel Doc: “those who believe don’t need an explanation. And for those who don’t believe – no explanation will do”. For one night, we didn't need any explanation to enjoy it on the pureset level as we did when we were 8. It's fun watching it through the eyes of a kid. Happily, my nephew understands that this is all staged and that these guys are telling each other the moves and such and often asks if the wrestlers are nice or friends with each other "in real life". He also knows that he can't do these moves to anyone other than G. Thus, he will never be this:



Happy Holidays.
