Wow what a night. I was a huge pro wrestling fan as a kid. In college I was a ring announcer but that career was cut short because I was too tall. My last WrestleMania was back in 1988. I’m gonna keep the tradition going and go every 33 years. Looking forward to WrestleMania 70.

ShareA wet day in Tampa Bay... tarps kept the ring dry during the Sunday downpours.

ShareEven as show time approached, it looked sketchy. Night 1 had a delay. Was looking like it might happen again.

ShareIf you've ever been to a live wrestling show, you know the real show isn't in the ring.

ShareOK... I lucked out big time. Ticket prices plummeted the week of the show so we got 4th row ringside behind the announcers! My producer Chuck and I are ready to rumble! Or drink beer and watch pro wrestling.

ShareJeez these seats! The pirate ship looked great!

ShareThis Bray Wyatt guy kills me. Love his character. Longtime 80s wrestling fans probably remember his father "IRS" or Mike Rotundo.
