Proud moment?

[cut-paste-hero]

You guys know your opinions mean a lot to me, so I am asking you guys to respond in all seriousness.

At Christmas, my brother informed me that he is now going to be a professional athlete.

I not sure what you guys think, do I tell anyone?

do any of you guys have pro athletes in your families?
Is it going to be tough on my own family?
Is there a large fan fare?
What can I expect?

He is going to be a prowrestler, (pro means he gets paid right?) and they are having a pro-midget wrestling match next Saturday night. Should I go and support him? Does he need an agent? Should I help him with his 'name'?

I am not joking about this. I really would like the help of the RR with these answers.

Pbr, if you are interested in going, let me know and I will see if I can get a sitter for my boys.

:toast:

Your brother's a midget?

 

[whalewager]

This is funny.

 

[PBR]

Is this the event flyer? PBR for $2, hell yes I'll go.

 

[cut-paste-hero]

Hard to explain.

He goes like 4'10'' and weighs about 90lbs

I have to check the rules and see if he qualifies, but he is sure he can do it.


He has always wanted to be a prowrestler, did the circut in Barberton and some of the Local Bars.

Mostly as a manager, did some Fair Ground work, VFW's. Has insight into the back-stage stuff. (he doesn't really share all the info with me). But has introduced me to some of the 'masked wrestlers' without their masks after matches.

I think he could be the Champ, and a crowd favorite, but most brothers of pro-midget wrestlers probably think that way.

I think the place is called Chapperells(sp) on Arlington Rd, it used to be Bel-Aire lanes, but now they hold local MMA fights down there.

 

[PBR]

Where's the match at? Is he already in, or is this like a tryout? Why doesn't he have a name yet?

 

[whalewager]

If this is true. This is the best thread evers...already

 

[cut-paste-hero]

He used to 'manage' The Purple Hooter at the Shamrock in Barberton. But this is a new gig..

Chapperells is the place, I will check out the "league" or whatever on the sign out front next time I drive by.

I think they are just starting this up.

 

[cut-paste-hero]

I will try to find a picture of him, either in costume or without and get it posted, it won't be today unless, somehow the Purple Hooter is on google somewhere.

 

[PBR]

Well, we gots to get the feller a name first. That's everything man. Johnny Thunderstick or something catchy like that.

Funny thing is his 'real' name is John...

 

[PBR]

Well there you go. You could make BTJ proud and use Johnny Knockdown.
Or maybe the Rubber City Rumbler.

 

[cut-paste-hero]

Dude, this is terrible.

I just googled his name, and this is real bad...

Somebody started a myspace in his name, and made prank calls and have him on tape....

I am steaming...

 

[whalewager]

John the tiny midget

 

[whalewager]

I was hoping this was true so bad.

 

[cut-paste-hero]

This is absolutely true. I am not kidding.

 

[whalewager]

If its true. If tiny john really is your brother...I will sponsor him...

 

[cut-paste-hero]

This has some potential to become embarassing.

I just found a youtube of a match, I am like 1:07 in and I see my brother, coming into the ring as the purple hooters manager.

"little john stud".........not sure if the former handlers or family of big john stud would object
