Okay, outdated I know, but my youngest son...Owen...has been infatuated with wrestling lately. It's all he and his friends talk about. The Swanton Bomb, the Twist of Fate, Whisper in the Wind...great novel titles? No. Wrestling moves. Owen can spend hours on the phone talking to his friends about the latest Smackdown or RAW happenings. So we let him have a little party...we ordered the recent 3 hour "No Way Out" pay per view special. $50. FIFTY FRIGGIN' DOLLARS for this thing. The catch - his friends had to help pay. Each friend had to pay $10 to come and watch the wrestling sensation.
So Sunday night while I was duking it out in the bar, Owen had 4 boys over to watch the big show. And lemme tell ya, he picked the right friends. The set up? First Owen brought down his mattresses from his twin beds upstairs and put them on the floor in the basement in front of the TV. Why? Oh sure...so they can stand ON MY HALF WALL and Swanton Bomb each other on the mattresses. They almost went through the TV countless times. Kev-head rightfully put a stop to that...so they moved the mattresses to the bottom of the stairs so they could execute their moves from there. Holy mother....
Walking into this fiasco at the end was hysterical. Not only was my basement a hot mess of farting, eating, cheering testosterone...there was more cheering and screaming than I've ever heard watching any other sporting event. As the wrestlers would prepare for a certain move the boys would all scream it out in excitement and then when it was delivered they would stand and cheer and high-five...oh.my. It was more hilarious watching them than anything else, and well worth the cost of food, lemme tell ya. (Which they annihilated a 12 pack of root beer, 2 boxes of capri suns, a bag of cheese puffs, cheese popcorn and chips within minutes I say...minutes.)
"Judgment Day" is coming to pay per view just before Owen's birthday...I think I know what the next birthday party will be for him.
