| We meet Shawn Michaels at the airport in Texas. |
Okay, I know everybody (or all five people who read this) must be thinking wrestling is fake and how can I watch it? Well it's not fake, the outcome of each match is pre-determined; there is a difference. The wrestlers actually get hit with moves but it's obviously not with the type of force that it is intended to have. When I was younger I was obsessed with wrestling; I had wrestling sheets, curtains, blankets, and many different wrestling toys. Since then I have matured and I got rid of some of the wrestling toys. In 2005 I met a wrestler at an airport and little by little I started watching wrestling again. Every Monday night a small group of friends all meet up to watch. It is extremely entertaining and secretly, I think we all want to be wrestlers. Over the past year I have attended two different wrestling events and this June I will witness another one.

Grammar Assignment
Wrestling is a sport that I watch almost every week. Is there a sport that watch all the time? If not, is there another activity that you do all the time? I meet my friends every Monday night to watch, when do you watch your sport or participate in your activity? Write one paragraph about your activity and be sure to include how long you have been doing it for as well as any other important details.
I don't watch any sport regularly, though wen I was an undergrad at SUNY Oswego, I became a hockey fan. I am, however, looking forward to the Olympics, though I prefer the Winter Games.
ReplyDeleteI used to wrestle with my boy cousins when I was younger! I was a bit of a "Tom-boy." So, I agree with you in saying that we all want to be wrestlers. oh and by the way, cool picture with Shawn Michaels, I used to looooove him!
ReplyDeleteShawn Michaels def brought me back into wrestling, I used to hate him growing up because he was a "bad guy" but ever since I met him I'm a big fan.
