WrestleParty 360

Apr 17

I was a huge fan of WWF wrestling as a kid, before the name changed to WWE, following wrestles such as George “the Animal” Steele, André the Giant, "Superstar" Billy Graham, Bob Backlund, The Iron Sheik, Hulk Hogan and all the other stars of the era. But hadn't given pro wrestling a thought in years. Until one of my favorite bartenders, Mike, at Tellus mentioned it to me earlier this year that he was working on setting up an event. Prior to that I had heard the Mike wrestles but that was about it. Chatting with Mike I found out that he wrestled under the name of Tim Donst. So of course I googled him and saw that he’s been wrestling for quite some time. A bit more time passed an Mike told me they had a date and that tickets would be on sale soon. So as soon as they went on sale I bought a ticket, when your friend does an event you support it.

Fast forward a few more weeks to April 13th, the day of the show. And of course, I arrived late to the now Sold Out show. As I entered the Temple (the big room at tells) it was packed and the crowd was going crazy. I had brought my camera with the hope of taking some photos but now standing in the back of the room I wasn't sure what I'd be able to get.

These are OK but I wasn't going to be able to really get any action.

Thankfully as the next match started I was able to work my way through the crowd and find an open spot right next to the ring, wow this was a great spot.

Unfortunately I didn’t get the names of these first wrestler I saw
