Visually, it was easy to make that initial comparison. Both teams came out to Rock and Roll Music (not common in the late 80’s), both were relatively undersized, both had similar ring attire and both featured one wrestler who had blond hair and a teammate with brown. As a fourteen year old teenage boy who was in a stage in life where success with the opposite sex was sadly a mystery, identifying with a pair of good looking twenty-somethings who drew the screams of every girl in the audience (seemingly regardless of age) was difficult.Interviewing professional wrestlers is an enjoyable benefit of running this website. Normally, the excitement would center on questions on their in ring careers and backstage stories. This was not the case when we spoke with former ECW and WWE Diva, Dawn Marie; for although she worked with some of the iconic stars of Extreme Championship Wrestling and performed for two and a half years for Vince McMahon’s World Wrestling Entertainment it was her post wrestling career that we were anxious to discuss with her.
On August 25, 2011, the New York Yankees made baseball history by becoming the first team to ever hit three grand slam home runs in one game. Many people that day would have heard that future Trivial Pursuit question on the radio or maybe by watching Sportscenter. On that day, I got that information from the person sitting next to me who received the news over his I-Phone. The person who shared the news of the Yankees accomplishment with the exuberance of a ten year old boy who had just gone to the see his first Major League Game. That person was the man who has more hits than anyone else in Baseball history, Pete Rose.
