About John »

I am back in Illinois Rockford to be exact. I am in school full time and raising my daughter so I will not have much time to write on here as much as I would like.
anyways just a little about me.
I Wrestled for Windy City Pro Wrestling in 2000.
I served 5 years in the U.S. Army Infantry got to see Alaska for 2 years and spent a month in Japan. those were the highlights. also spent a year in Iraq that is where the picture comes from.I also performed work during hurricane Katrina relief
Speaking of the picture I have gotten compliants about it and do not understand them.I put a real picture of myself up here when some do not even have pictures or have goofy fake ones.
Iam who Iam a real person who always gives their honest opinion about things.
I have a tendency to write from more of a talk show perspective so I thank the editors in advance for cleaning up my work for me.
My daughter just turned 1 this past week so that was a great event for me.
Thanks for reading whatever I write I enjoy the conversation it sparks.

I am surprised by the number of people who actually want to reserve the right to bad-mouth their teams! I offer constructive criticism, of course, but one in particular wants to be able to say, "they suck," if they do.

I don't get it. Will YOU take the pledge?

i'm good man. trying to have this place be known for its great articles and not for the silliness that we've had in the past. Joe is still Joe but he's toned it down a tad. But hey, they're still some great writers pumping out pieces.

Nice to read about your daughter turning 1 this week. Congrats. (Hopefully you just updated that part in your profile and she's not like 2 or something now, LOL).

John,
Thanks for the heads up, completely forgot about Rhino's NWA title reign (all two days of it). Though, my original idea (that Joe knows little to nothing about wrestling) was achieved through the "name 3 of 4" stipulation. Hope to see you vote when Joe and I go head to head here in the near future. Thanks!

Hey John,

Yeah it has been a couple crazy years in a row for the Phillies. My cousin is a Mets fan so I have been giving him a lot of crap for them missing the playoffs again. I sent him a message a few days ago asking what time the Mets were on. He didn't take to kindly to that..

I figured the 'Memo To' line was a tag line of some sort, I just tried to make it better. Glad I could help

Take care..
