Hey there friends.

I was thinking about a topic for a blog today. After a bit of contemplation, I decided to write about something that I haven't written about before.

I have written a lot of articles about: my job, my family, television shows that I like, my house, baseball, video games, Japan, sumo wrestling, and a few on politics. I haven't ever written an article on one of my bigger interests: pro wrestling.

I started watching wrestling regularily in 1980. Between then and now, I have watched it pretty regularily. Recently I have been following it by reading recaps on the internet and reading an "insider" newsletter rather than watching it on television. (It seems that during the down-periods in wrestling, the insider stuff is more compelling than the product itself.)

Then when I decided to write about pro wrestling, I decided to add a list of my favorite five performers or tag teams over the years that I have been watching pro wrestling.

1- Chris Adams and Gino Hernandez
2- Bobby Heenan
3- Curt Hennig
4- Sean Michaels
5- The Rock

I am leaving out a bunch of my favorites over the years, but "top tens" may bore some of my dear readers. I mean, who really cares who some guy's top ten (let alone five) favorites are? I just wanted to write about pro rasslin'!

Hi Jamie. I'm Japanese.
I like Professional Wrestling.
But I know very little about American.
Now most majar American wrestler is 'The beast bob sap' in Japan.
He is strong
My favorate wrestler is ...
liger,Minoru Suzuki,Kenta Kobashi,Osamu Nishimura
I think Japanese like fight with real swords.
American like entertainment.

Well, if we did that we would have problems like laws. You know those stupid things that protect us from our selves. It's ok though. It's fun to watch these big guys smash each other with chairs and stuff like that.

My favorites would of course be newer wrestlers because of my age but my favorites are:
Macho Man Randy Savage
Ulitamte Warrior
The Big Boss Man
Edge
Sting
The Steiner Bros.
