My Personal 2012 WWE Extreme Rules Recap & Experience

Since I was a little sprout, I have always been drawn to wrestling.  The pageantry of it, the entertainment value, the humor, drama, & athletic showcases somehow captivate me.  On Sunday, April 29, 2012, it all came full-circle for me, as I attended my first ever wrestling event.  It's an understatement to say that it lived up to expectations, as it surpassed my wildest dreams.  My thoughts leading up to the show were very much excited, but I wasn't expected to LOVE my experience as much as I did.  I assumed I would go to the event, enjoy the show, & spend my time looking around at the crazy die-hards shouting & screaming, chanting their asses off.  I figured I would chuckle as I sat there, subdued and enjoying myself.  That's the type of fan I usually am, you don't really see me singing the National Anthem before a Bulls game or singing the 7th inning stretch in Wrigley, outside of some clapping along, I'm not prone to screaming "Let's go Hawks" at a Blackhawks game; I'm a quiet guy.  For some reason at Extreme Rules, that all changed.  I was one of those crazed fans, along with 2 of my friends, standing there cheering & chanting along with the tens of thousands of people.  I'm glad I did, made the event all that much more memorable for me.  Now then, the show itself, how was it?  Well, I'll tell you!

Song of the Day

    Today's song of the day is a WWE theme song!  I was a huge wrasslin' fan when I was a kid/early teenage year and I may not be as devoted as I was back then, there will always be that part of me that enjoys it.  I just recently got WWE 12 for my birthday on PS3 and it's a hell of a lot of fun, thus causing me to get back into the product.  Break the Walls Down by Adam Morenoff is the theme of one of my favorite wrestlers of all-time, Chris Jericho.  He returned moments ago on WWE and it's gotten me a bit pumped to watch the product again. There are very few guys in the business I can say I've enjoyed more than Y2J.  Heel or face, he's one of the best in the world at what he does.  Who knows, maybe I'll dab a little bit in the wrestling world with my writing in the future.  Stay tuned.
