Hi and stuff. Or something.

*shrugs*
Guess it can't hurt to say hello, huh?

So I've been poking around here for a bit now, but I'm a little shy so I haven't posted much. Okay, I'm a lot shy. But anyways.

I'm not a very girly girl.
I like guns and crazy people.
I've dabbled in judo, kung-fu, karate, CQC, and police restraint techniques.
I learnt most of that living in DC, and also learned a healthy level of mistrust towards our guv-ment. After 9-11, I headed to the Southland where the pace of life is more agreeable.
And there's more guns down here.

The most interesting thing about me is probably what I "do".
I'm a professional wrestler.
You know, like on TV? But I'm not on TV; I work locally across a 4 county area.

One can usually find me browsing the Sci-Tech board here. Failing that, I'm either in the gym or cooking something.

Yeah. So that's me.
*shuffles back to the shadows*

cool...

Though I find you almost too good to be true...

Jim

Intriguing

And so is your nik.

Welcome to ATS Banshee!

You seem like a very interesting person, your job sounds like fun. No reason to be shy here, we dont't bite, at least not at first. I hope you're not as shy in the ring!

Just kidding, put me down!!

Very cool!



And a lady who enjoys the ballistic arts!

(Just promise not to put me in a chokehold)

Banshee,

Since you mentioned Pro Wrestling, I do kinda wonder if there is a Cabal connection to the sport. After all, it is a huge world wide sport with massive public appeal and, at least the big feds get a good deal of exposure on TV, to a very impressionable audience.

And, one of the most famous wrestlers in history got elected Governors of Minnesota.

Hmmm, what do you think? Or just a SWAG?

Yikes.
Dunno, DR, I don't think I could share that view!
I guess it makes a little more sense when you see it from behind the scenes; every person involved in pro wrestling is in it for themselves.
Sad but true.
From the young kid who's training for his/her first appearance in front of a crowd to the guy with fused vertebrae who's writing the stories, it's a race for the elusive dream of fame and fortune.
When you see people who've killed others' careers in the ring, who've stepped on anyone and everyone to get ahead...when you see them busted up and broken down before they hit 35, well, I can't see how any "higher power" would bother with the minutae of daily drama in this life of ours.
*grin*
Vinnie Mac makes lots of money doing this. Some of the names you recognize (Hogan, Ventura, Savage, HHH, HBK, and so on), make a decent amount of money doing this. For everyone else?
Nope. Broken bones and a great deal of personal satisfaction.
About the only Cabalistic motive I could begin to think of is a wrestling as a means to create a bunch of insane warriors who like violence and don't mind a whole lot of pain. But then again, isn't that what the world's military forces are for?
Hell, they get more respect.

And to everyone else...
onlyinmydreams An ex of mine used to tell me I was like "one of the guys" that he could...well, you know.

ADVISOR I got the nick "Banshee" years back from the way I talk $hit when I'm hitting someone. (you know, hear a banshee wail and death is imminent...)

ProudAmerican Heh, no, I'm not shy in the ring. Mind you, I'm playing a psychotic maniac when I'm in the ring, so therefore...

Banshee,

OK, I will admit that was a very long stretch on my part (SWAG=Scientific Wild A$$ Guess).

Just figured that anyone who was in the international limelight for so many years like Vinnie had to have at least been approached by those in power....

Well, not the first time I have been wrong...

Hey, uh, Banshee.... Um, you can let me out of the Boston Crab now...

One year, 4 days later.....
and look at me now.
