Wrestling Show

Well, Sherry and I just got back from a wrestling show in Elizabethtown tonight. It was fun. Sherry has started video taping all of the shows for the owner. It’s a small independent wrestling show called BBW (Bad to the Bone Wrestling). Sherry loves going to the shows. We got there early and got to talk with the wrestlers. Some of them are very interesting people. They don’t do it for the money, that’s for sure. They all do it because they enjoy it. A few of the wrestlers said that some nights it costs them more in gas money to get to the show than they make in a night. Some nights they don’t make anything.
After the show, I helped the wrestlers and Sherry tear down the ring and clean up. There were 100 fans that came to the show that night, which isn’t much according the the owner, Joe Bailey. His son wrestles and is becoming quite popular. He was recently features on a video game called backyard wrestling. After the show the owner, Joe, offered to help train Sherry to be a valet in some of the shows if she wanted. Sherry was so happy. A valet is the girl who is sort of the “eye candy” that escorts the wrestlers to the ring and hypes up the audience.
We’re going to another one of their shows at the end of the month in Bardstown. It should be fun. I’ll post more pictures for you. We’ll that’s all for now. Good night!


Sherry looking cute at the show. Notice her new hair?

One of the bad guys. His name is the Judge.


The two most popular guys. The one sitting on the ropes is J.C. Bailey. He's the one who is in the video game.
