While I still live in Perrysburg, I have been in and out of Cleveland so many times for wrestling that it's almost like a second home. I can tell you that W. 25th Street is a real craphole, be careful driving through there. The Flats is a cool area to hang out, but there are bums that hang out near the entryway there. As far as suburbs go, Westlake and Lakewood are nice places to be and live if need be. I would look for a place there if you are moving there Wolfie.

Awesome.. I just emailed about an apartment in Westlake and it's good to know Lakewood is nice as well. Dylan has a hockey tournament up there in February.


Thanks everyone for the input. I'm a nervous wreck about the whole move thing. Very deeply rooted in the Pittsburgh area, so Cleveland is gonna be tough. I'll be wary about wearing my Polamalu jersey in public.. but dammit, I will do it !

I heard that wrestlers that develop amnesia take up residence there in alleys.

Hey, that was one time!


Lakewood is good and cheap, close to downtown, with a nice "it's been there a long time" vibe. It's really an urban suburb, . For some reason, local legend claims it has the largest homosexual population in the midwest. It is kind of artsy. Westlake (formerly Dover Township, which will explain a lot of things) was the happening suburb when I was in High School. It's not quite cutting edge, but it's a nice middle class place to live, and Crocker Park has nice shopping. Well, granted, if you are into overpriced furniture, women's clothing and stuff white people like. Fortunately, there is a Marc's (Local discounter, doesn't take credit cards but totally rules), and the nice thing about the West Suburbs is if you don't like this mall, go to the one 15 minutes away.

There will be bums throughout all of downtown. Especially at chokepoints.

The Cavaliers would like to say 'hi'.

Michael Jordan wishes to say hi and I wish to ask you when was the last time you won a pro title

We do not suck at sports. First of all the Cavs have done very well in the last few years. The Indians were one of the top five teams in Baseball in the late 1990s. The Browns were once the greatest team in the AFL, and ruled the NFL for several years way back when. The St. Ignatius Wildcats usually win state in High School Football at least once every four years (very important sport in Cleveland and Ohio.). That's hardly sucking at sports. Granted, we don't win championships, but we are not the Cubs either.

Don't forget the Mount Union Purple Raiders.

Fair enough. I also left out Cleveland All Pro Wrestling, which for an Indy seems to be doing well.

By well, you mean dead. CAPW died a year or so ago, and was replaced by Pro Wrestling Ohio. I'm sure Benny and Joe Dombrowski (if he shows up) could tell you more about it.

Really, I'm sorry to hear that. The past year has gone by very fast, I remember watching them on Public Access, it must have been at least a year ago. Pity, they seemed capable compared to their rivals in the late 1990s.
