team-roc has added yet another incredible technician to its already formidable staff of coaches and instructors. the current instructors include an elvis look alike, an ugly bald gypsy with ears like you wouldnt believe, a fat guy that can't talk straight, and a rodent with a piece. but now comes the best addition of all! i get excited just announcing this because i have looked up to this great fighter my whole life. he's a jet flyin, limo riding, girlfriend stealin son of a gun that has no problems telling anyone that to be the man, you have to beat the man. of course i am talking about the one, the only "THE NATURE BOY" RIC FLAIR! thats right the 16 time champion of the world has agreed to teach not only his patented figure four leg lock but also his amazingly powerful signature ric flair chop and eye poke techniques. he will also finally teach that spanish gypsy the correct post victory strut. from now on the official team-roc victory cry will be a resounding "WOOOOOOO!" which will be yelled following every win. just dont forget gentlemen and ladies, if you wanna ride space mountain, you better get in the back of the line!

I'm calling BS on this one. No way this is happening.

Me, Arn, and Ric were chewing the fat over a cooler full of ice cold Miller Lite just the other day. I have it in good confidence that Ric will be offering instruction at the Lenoir County Wrestling Club beginning next month.

Anyways, y'all can keep the "WOOOO!". I'm having all our guys make appearances at the competitions escorted by valets and wearing feathery, sequined robes. We will also begin to arrive at all events in white stretch limousines with tinted windows and a satellite dish mounted on the roof. Now that's class.

While we are in the fantasy world I have a funny story that I have to tell, this mixes fantasy and realty.

Ivan Koloff was at the local Wal-Mart raising money for some charity. My 8 year old son Jay recognized him from an autographed picture I gave my father a couple of years ago. My fahter is a big fan. My son seemed interested in talking to Ivan, and they had a great conversation about their different competitions. The Russian Bear knew a little about BJJ, and a few of the better instructors like Mann, and others. Then the question came up.

Ivan asked my son “Do You Watch WWF”
Jay Said “No”
Ivan said “Well I thought you…”
Jay Said “What I do is REAL.”

I could have cut the tension in the air with a knife, and the look on Ivan’s face told the story.
All I could do is shake the dude’s hand and say “let’s Go Jay.”

Thanks Ivan

i was born and raised on pro wrestling and the nwa south in particular. all of those guys were like gods to me growing up. i knew it was fake but i didnt care. the best of seven series between nikita koloff (who was always the better of the two) and magnum TA is something that will never be matched in the wwe.

Yeah man, old NWA was the best.

As for you Speight, I'm gonna have to teach you a thing or two about pro wrestling. And it won't be like in Raliegh where I got my butt whooped for 30 minutes. So what if you guys had me crying for my mama? It's all good.

I got a Ric Flair chop waiting for you, son! WHOOOOOOO!!!

Well I can stomp my foot just as hard as the next guy, and squeeze ketchup packs on someone nose, really good too. And my great aunt Renee’ knows the Fabulous Moolah personally. So there. She lives on Moolah Drive in Columbia South Carolina.

And I can get her to show up a Kick You Around on the mat Steve, as long as you know it’s not real. You need to fall right, dude, or you will hurt yourself. Or her. Now she may need a walker to get there now she is now close to eighty if not over. or you will need the walker when she is finished with you.

You want to know why MMA is not growing the way it should, Corrupt Boxing, and Laughable Pro-wrestling. No body takes us seriously, when they see what we do they say, “Oh this is wrestling.” I was a big fan too dudes. My favorite was Billy Jack while he was on. Our family watched every sat nite. and at Christmas we would have a great time beating each other up, the fake way the way they do on TV, and singing “Violent Night” but it comes to a time when you have had the “Real Deal” you should stop playing with yourself. or at least stop talking about it with your freinds.

It just tarnishes out sport when we talk in one breath about how real our sport is then we say, I have a Tomahawk chop for you when we get to the mat.

Or when someone finds out what we do, they make a comment to my son like “oh you are good at this grappling sport, well are you good at a pile driver or a sleeper hold?” My son replies “we don’t pile drivers, and we call them a rear naked choke, let me show you how it is done correctly” and I say “grandma get the smelling salts”

Or they asks my son “what is you favorite hold” my son say’s “triangle choke, or this or that” and then they say “has Hulk Hogan ever do one of those”

Now he just says Jiu-jitsu, or Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, or Judo. “If you don’t know do ask”

How would you feel if you worked hard, trained hard, and competed hard to be the number one ranked under 14 year old, in the region to have someone mention a “non-sport” that washes your sport?

let just say you are the number one Amateur golfer in the region and when someone asks you about your sport, and you tell them, they ask “can you get by those windmill blades every time? And don’t you hate it when the carpet has a cut that throws your ball off, and the clown’s nose, that is hard. And do you get your ball back at the last hole? And where does it go? I can never find it.

And how would you fell as an adult if the Pros in the Putt-Putt Golf were making a lot more than the Real Golf players.

It’s not the ones that know the difference it is the ones that is not interested in learning the difference.

Last Sunday my grand-father asked Jay, my son, “Well did you whoop-em” and then my aunt started in about her friend “you know you can make a lot of money in that pro-wresting, like her friend” “Aunt Renee’ this is different” I would say, “oh I know, but you can make a lot of money, training she trained women, that would come by(and she went on and on and on)” my grandfather had to just talk to my son over her conversation. While my grandmother left the room to keep from laughing in her face.

And that is all I have to say about that.

well i have worked hard, trained hard, and competed hard to be the number one ranked adult in the region... and i still love old nwa pro wrasslin. personally i've put together a tape of the most exciting and fan friendly mma fights i can think of. so when somebody asks me i just pop it in the vcr. once someone sees brad kohler v steve judson and aaron riley v robbie lawler, they are usually pretty clear about what we do... and they usually can't wait to watch some more

I see what you are saying, James. And I sympathize with you, but MMA and Sub Wrestling are both so far from the mainstream that it is pathetic. It is only natural for people to think that what we do is like the stuff on TV. They don't know.

It's like guys that play rugby. A lot of people in the states still don't know what rugby is. The first time I heard of it was when I was in the Army and my unit was getting together a rugby team. I was watching practice one day and was like, "What the heck are those guys doing? That ain't no football like I've ever seen before." I just did not know what rugby was. Then someone explained it to me and now I know.

The best position we can take is to properly explain our sport to people. That is the only way they will understand. Usually, in quick conversation, I just say that I wrestle and box. Most people seem to understand that pretty much. If I just say wrestling, they usually confuse it.

"Hey, so are you on TV? Have you ever met Stone Cold?" I get that all the time. Then I just tell them that my wrestling is based more on martial arts. People seem to get it then. It's just in the way you come across to them.

And the video tape idea that Whitfield brought up is a good one. My exterminator comes over to the house once a month to do a service call and he saw that I was watching PRIDE one time. He thought it was collegiate wrestling. So I explained what it was and I made him a compilation tape so he could watch on his own. He's really into it now and we talk about it all the time. He's a huge boxing fan and has even came out to watch me LOSE in a tuff man tournament once. =) But now everytime he comes over we talk about MMA. He loves it more than boxing because he said it is "more real" than boxing. I guess the Dave Menne/Phil Baroni fight did a lot of convincing. ;)

i have no desire to see the exterminator once a month for two reasons: #1 that means that i've got bugs or rats or goats or something and #2 he looks like billy dowey

While we are in fantasy,I would like to make a few coments.Jake is not only a well spoken,skilled,hetrosexual young man with a gleeming future,but he also smells good and is quite pleasant to be around.Unfortunatly,I have never been to the fantasy world and none of what I have said is true about Jake in the real world.

LOL! Very funny, Speight. If I wasn't such a wussy boy, I'd issue an online challenge to you. You'd better thank your lucky stars, pal. I'll deal with you Saturday in the parking lot of Wal Mart, buddy!

The exterminator comes once a month so I DON'T become infested with bugs or any other type of vermin. When winter comes to the boonies, it's hard as hell to try and fend off a hundreds field mice with those sorry excuses for mouse traps that they sell nowadays. And summertime?...major ant issues...not to mention the mounds of fireants that seem to pop up overnight.

I guess you city folk don't have to worry about that. Y'all are too busy beating the crackheads away from your garbage cans. ;) Tell me I'm wrong.
