Good Saturday,
Guys…
So, I’m
gonna put my boy, Scott, on blast, because just makes things happen for
him. Don’t know how he does it, wish I
had his luck. In school, I used to rib
him about having a money tree in his folks’ backyard, dude just exuded green.
Anyhoo, and
I’m talking to the folks of crip kids in these next couple of posts, I believe
it was ‘93ish when Scott was granted a Make-A-Wish. I’d always heard of the foundation, but
personally knew anybody, who’d had a wish granted. In my ignorance, I always thought it was for
people, who were checking out. Unless I
was badly missing something, Scott was far from checking out. I’d known some CP kids, who’d checked out,
but those were extreme cases, unfortunately.
Now,
anybody, who’s known Scott, knows the dude lives wrestling. He absolutely knows everything there is to
know about the product: the history, they federations way past and present, the
key players that’ve made the product what it is today. So, when his wish was granted, it was no
surprise what was gonna go down.
He was
literally able to meet all the greats as it was making a resurgence from being
a *cough cough* Yeah, I watch *mumbled* wrestling *cough cough* to something
that was fun to watch with some legit talent.
Oh yeah, there were still the roided out ones, always have, always will…slipping
the cracks of the wellness program, and there was the ladies division.
My boy got
to to go to the WCW Fall Brawl ’93 PPV
where he got to rub elbows with Mick Foley, Vader, and his all-time favorite,
Ric “The Nature Boy” Flair. Dude was in
hog heaven. He even got to interview the
late Davey Boy Smith.
Then, a few
years ago, who can forget how the whole city of San Fran came together to make
one little boy’s wish through Make-A-Wish to be Batman for a day to save the city from the clutches
of among others, The Penguin with the real
Batman. That event was made into a short
on Netflix called Batkid
Parents look
into it, pay attention to what they say, sign, whatever. You’re already the best parent you can be. Why not go for the “Best Parent Ever”
award. Like I’ve been told recently, the
worse thing they can say is no.
Be good to
each other.
