Training away

Turning off the brain’s survival instinct is more work than you think it would be. Telling yourself that it’s OK when you see a 6 ft 5, close to 300lbs guy charging at you and that you don’t have to jump out of the way, takes some doing. Ah just one of the many things I am doing when it comes to training.

And so it continues…as cliché a line as that has become in my blog, hell, that’s what it is. It continues and continues. Last night added the new wrinkle of the sunset flip to my ever increasing arsenal, attempting that move for the first time in my natural born life being one of the most comical things ever witnessed. I got it down for the most part after subsequent attempts though. Elbows only took a couple nicks this time around after being made to bump a different way. I am not allowed to do it the first way any more, which is cool, I need to get it down. If ya can’t bump, ya can’t do anything else.

There are some cut-throat people in the business of wrestling. Now you hear and read online on the dirtsheets about politics and such backstage in Vince land and even TNA and ROH, but it is very much on the indy level, which I learned a little bit of last night in listening to some of the conversation from XCW’s owner about dealing with some past personalities and people that were around the area. Interesting.

It was funny in a way as he mentioned how people sought to ride Bobby’s coat tails to Vince in the past. Nite said he didn’t want to hurt my feelings in talking about my chances in the business versus Bobby. Which I understand of course my lack of stature would hinder that, but it’s something I am cool with. I don’t seek Vince land. I have said it before and will again, if I had a lofty ambitious ass goal like that it would be Ring of Honor. Otherwise I just want consistent work in XCW and Texas. I’d like to wrestle on both coasts once or twice to be able to say I did. A couple of wrestlers on my Facebook friends list I have bantered about wrestling with in the last several weeks, I’d like to have a go against them as well. We shall see. I know I want to have fun and I want my kids to see me in there as I know they will get a kick out of it. My 3 8-year-olds and on down to my almost 3-year-old all get into it and that is a joy for me to see, and it being something we as a family can go to is just great.

Not to sound corny but those are the types of things that can keep families together and positive and strong. Makes the thought of a family outing to Wrestlemania 26 in Phoenix next year, awesome. Gonna cost a bit, but experiencing that and giving Mrs. Envi and the kids a chance to experience it will be awesome. I am going to take a million pics, I can see it now. I will definitely have my zoom lens by then.

And I know I am thinking ahead a bit but I have contemplated entrance music. To me entrance music needs to be cool and fit the person. Now and again I will add and take off songs from my mental entrance music possibility list.

Current:
1) “Addicted” Blank Theory
2) “It's time for war” LL Cool J
3) “Remember the name” Fort Minor
4) “It’s a fight” Three Six Mafia
