WORLD OF RAWR

I almost forgot to mention! I went to Italy for vacation in April and let me tell you that it was pure magic.

Pure.
Fucking.
Magic.

But you're not going to want to hear about what I did with those 15K steps per day (on average), so I'll just tell you that I got to meet a few wrestlers along the way.

• Opon84 was a delight as always even when I accidentally broke him (he'll beat me up for that). We stayed up talking until the wee hours of the morning instead.
• Bamm-Bamm was everything I had hoped and then some. We went at it and there's just something about being in a good roll that makes jet lag melt away. I think I was stronger than he expected and that's always fun. I need to do that whole part of my trip again for like a week at least. Maybe I should just move.
• Hanky was really cool and although it was a bit shaky to catch up, it was a lot of fun when we did. There was a lot of laughter and he's a strong guy. I was a bit more intentional in jobbing this go-round, but threw in a couple of moments of "I could turn the tables if I want" in there just for fun.

Honorable mentions to go Johan and eGambler who were awesome hosts and super friendly people. I plan to meet them both again whether in Italy or elsewhere.

This was my first solo international trip, so that was an extra bonus. I absolutely must do more wrestling trips more often. Far more often. Hot damn.
