I have an embarrassing confession to make: I am a reformed wrestling fan. Actually, I am more of a former wrestling fan because I just got too busy to watch television somewhere along the way. I go way back to the days of "real" wrestling with Mr. Wrestling I and II, Dusty Rhodes (and he did slap the hood of every van at Tom Stimus Chevrolet!), the Rock-n-Roll Express, Magnum T.A. (bum arm and all), the Freebirds, Ric Flair (before he was a spokesperson for rascal scooter), the Andersons, Andre the Giant, the von Erichs, and the baddest of the bad, the Road Warriors. George Steele ate turn buckles while Leaping Lanny Paffo did back flips off of them. Hulk Hogan was not quite leather yet. Rowdy Roddy Piper wore his kilt because he was proud of his heritage. You could watch wrestling on TBS every Saturday night from 6pm until 2am Sunday morning. Whoa, those were some good times!
I can go as old school as I like but none of those guys hold a candle to The Rock. Dwayne Johnson. The Great One. The People's Champion. From the University of Miami he went to the Canadian Football League but ended up turning to wrestling like his father and grandfather. These days he spends his time making films like Game Plan and The Tooth Fairy.

Now the real Rock has just one question: do you know Me? He is coming to a town near you at a time unannounced and you had better be ready because no one knows the day or hour.
Heaven is the coolest thing since the other side of the pillow, Jabroni, and you'd better get ready. Cause I don't have to smell what the Rock is cooking - it's written in the book. And when we know the real People's Champion, we win.
