10-Minute Warning CXIII

So, what can I tell here under 10 minutes?

Well, sad news: The lowest point of my life happened 5 years ago today, March 25. I’m supposed to reminisce that day through a blog post, but… I can’t finish it today. My mind and heart can’t finish the story today. I’m not even sure if I can tell the story this Wednesday or Friday, but I’m sure there will be a trigger warning before the post.

And some good news: There was reason for me to be happy yesterday, March 24, because it was the 59th birthday of my all-time favorite professional wrestler, Mark Calaway AKA The Undertaker. Happiest birthday, Taker! I hope you had a blast!

And time’s up.

Song of the Moment XVI: Metallica’s “Seek & Destroy”

In light of Sting’s retirement last Sunday at All Elite Wrestling (AEW) Revolution, let me share one of his entrance themes, “Seek & Destroy” by Metallica – a song that was played on his last entrance. (And he walked down to the ring with his sons dressed as Surfer Sting and Wolfpac Sting. Iconic.)

Thank you, Sting. You had an amazing career and you have given so much to pro wrestling. You are THE Icon. Enjoy your retirement, sir.

Song of the Moment X: Downstait’s “Kingdom”

In my previous Song of the Moment post, I wrote this: I hope CM Punk or Cody Rhodes will win the 2024 Men’s Royal Rumble match. And guess what? They were the final 2, and Rhodes eliminated Punk to win the match. What an amazing Rumble overall!

In light of Cody Rhodes’ victory, I’m listening to his theme song, “Kingdom” by Downstait.

Congratulations to the 4th back-to-back WWE Royal Rumble winner, “The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes!
