As much as its true that there is a predetermined outcome, that isnt really what the fans go to watch ...as far as 'winner' or 'loser'. I wasnt really a fan of my son becoming involved in the  whole scene of pro wrestling, however, i have learned to accept that this was his dream from as far back as i can remember. i have to give him alot of credit and respect (now) because the one thing about it that cannot be denied is that its a very physical and physically taxing sort of thing. those guys train hard and they do get hurt. those chairs that they get smacked over the back with are real chairs.
the fans mean alot to these guys/gals. my son happens to be one of the popular ones as far as fans and the following from show to show.
i hope that he wont stay in it as long as many of them do, it does its damage that isnt really reversable.
none the less....its the outcome that is the 'fake' part and of course the wrestlers exaggerate the hits and all but im tellin ya....i was amazed at the things that my son is able to do with his body, the moves he does are just too crazy!!! lol ...and he is referred to as the 'High Flyin Death Defying Miracle Mike James'....thats pretty cool.

i am surprised that anyone even responds or reacts to anything that happens in Washington. I hear, read and watch so much information about what the truth is behind the U.S. Government that with all that is being proven and said, it doesnt make much sense that most would even argue or debate the things that they do back there in the white house. I mean, if you think about it, if both parties are owned and governed by the same people, then what is all that stuff about anyway? it has come to light that all of that jargan is pretty much just being done for show but it doesnt really matter when you see the big picture.
voting....? no point. the people keep asking for the wealthy to pay more in taxes but it doesnt happen. why? because that would be a conflict of interest at the very least. its the wealthiest that are taking your taxes (though as stealth as it is, there is alot of information about it....so it must hold some water, right?)
i dont know for sure what is going on in this country....but i know ive had a long list of 'why' about alot of things that i could clearly see werent on the up and up. maybe if anyone is interested, you might want to see a documentary that was many many years in the making and was put together by a decendant of the Gamble family of Proctor and Gamble.
i actually wasnt that surprised at what i watch with that documentary...its called "Thrive". it can be found on youtube by searching "thrive" full length documentary. i found it extremely interesting. it started off a little slow for me because i have just never been a 'science' buff, but ive watched this movie three times and its an eye opener. im just saying that its worth watching when you take into consideration all the things that seem to be backwards in the USA these days.

wow....i just logged on after ...well, who knows how long. I am not a born and raised local to this community but i lived in Grenola with my two sons Mike and Sam. we lived there from late 1989 until late 1992. my younger son died after being trapped in an old refrigerator with his friend in burden, kansas in 1991.
i was just browsing around on this site...(i miss living out there in the beautiful grenola area) when i saw this thread. I too, remember the days of loading up the neighbors ford station wagon full of kids and going to Century II and watching some of the greats like Bulldog Bob Brown!
Now my son (mike) has been pro wrestling for several years in Phoenix, Az., Las Vegas, Nv and Albuquerque, NM (as well as the surrounding areas).
I am hoping that he is going to move back to kansas and live close to me since i am now a gramma of a beautiful, crazy, smart and very energetic 4 year old!!
i think its great that the wrestlers are willing to do these kinds of shows since so many young people are really into it!
anyway...i  just wanted to pipe in! i hope to get out there to grenola and moline before long. there are definately people still living in those communities that i miss!  take care everyone!
