About Nick »

A political guy myself, I'm a Navy vet who just finished up my undergrad in political science at the University of Missouri, and will be starting law school there in the fall. I follow mostly football and professional/amateur wrestling or MMA. I think that college basketball is OK, but is getting way too close to being like the pros, which quite frankly sucks because it's 10 guys trying to put together their own individual highlight reel.

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks. Years later, a doctor will tell me that I have an I.Q. of 48 and am what some people call mentally retarded.

I can be reached by email at j.n.haynes2008@gmail.com, and can also be found on Facebook and MySpace.

SHAMELESS PLUG: If you are not listening to Hit The Ropes Radio, you are not a true fan! Check Shane Howard, Demetrus Stokes, and Daris Brown every Wednesday night at 6 Eastern (5 Central) at www.hittheropes.com.

Here's part four of the Australian Wrestling Chronicles, which is also my entry for Matthew Hester's CvC competition. I think it's the best of the series so far.
