Sure you meant Sheer?

The word "sheer" means "utter".
Which also means Complete...Total...Absolute.

Yeah...we're all about the wrestling.

Some wrestling fans get pigeonholed as uneducated, unemployed and in some case, un-washed.
I'm proud to not fall into any of those categories.
I'm a college graduate, a full time business executive ..and I shower every morning.

But as far as "hobbies and interests" go, Wrestling has always been my #1
(with music being #2. I played in more bands than I can count, and only gave it up when Girlfriend-of-Sheer became Mrs. Sheer)

How much of the week is taken up with wrestling-related activty?

  • The watching of WWE products, of course.
  • Listen to about a dozen wrestling-related podcasts.  (many are which are listed, here.)
  • Regularly play Grey Dog Software's TEW  (Total Extreme Wrestling), which we'll blog about in a near-future blog for CERTAIN.
  • I do the Twitter thing, of course, because I want to talk to other, like-minded fans. 
  • Daily use the on line news to catch results of shows I don't get to see....like Impact (now GFW) or some UFC shows.
  • I've read more wrestling biographies than I can count, and I still have more to go. I love biographies.
  • Years ago, my son and I invented a wrestling Board Game that we used to play every night. He's older now, and has apparently outgrown me. But I hope one day to look into whether there is still a market for board games, much less wrestling-based board games.
  • Have watched more Shoot Interviews than I can recall, also.  Some guys never wrote their memoirs but the 2 hours they spent with RF Video or Kayfabe Commentaries was well spent if you want to get caught up on their history!
  • Rgularly rely on YouTube to watch old/classic matches, as well as some of the Japanese feds. (Does anyone remember Dragon Gate USA? Man I used to LOVE that company...when the talent was Japanese!)
  • When there is time left, I might visit a wrestling chat board to ask a question or catch up on a topic.

Being that I have children, and a full time job, I don't go to live shows much anymore. Maybe a local indy gig once a year to keep the experience, but there is so much free content these days that I don't need to brave the crowds. That being said, with the recent uprising of Indy Wrestling, I might start again!

So after a day of work, parenting , going to the gym and eating....wrestling still makes it into  my 24 hours?  I often wonder how I do it. .
But when you love something, it just sorta comes to you, right?

I imagine you are all about the wrestling, too. The plan is to use this blog to connect with wrestling fans all over the world and talk about whatever wrestling topic you care to!

If not here, be sure to hit me up on Twitter: @SheerWrestling
