Okay guys, long-ish rant coming here but I need to vent and get this out of my system before I go to bed.
I have just had the single worst weekend I can remember, and I am so angry right now, I can barely talk. It all started yesterday. I graduated from college and got my Bachelors Degree in business administration from Tusculum College. Well a few months ago I found out WWE was coming to town on the same night, so I decided to order tickets that were the fourth row from ringside as sort of a graduation gift to myself. I spent $212.50 on two tickets, remember that.
Well graduation and the post-event dinner went off well so me and my dad got our Tomtom out and decided to start from Greeneville TN to Knoxville for the big event. Our Tomtom couldn't find the venue for the show, and we wound up getting hopelessly lost and found up in North-smurfing-Carolina! We got wrong directions at every turn and eventually my Dad (who was driving) got pulled over for speeding, though the cop did give us the right direction on how to get back to Knoxville. We finally did make it to Knoxville...just in time for the main event to start. So I paid $212.50 (I told you to remember that now) to see one...MATCH! A match which was over in ten minutes, and where I found that two teens were sitting in our seats.
We drive home in silence, and my Dad, bless his soul, has been beating himself over this all weekend long, so I have had to put on a brave face and cheer him up. And guess what, there was more to come over this.
Today, my truly awesome weekend continued. I have been for the past few weeks been a play-by-play commentator for a CAW wrestling league called the VWF. I have loved it since I have always dreamed about being a wrestling announcer and this gives me a chance to fulfill a lifeline dream. Also the main commentator died in a tornado here in east TN a few weeks ago, and I volunteered to take over as Play by Play, and I thought I was doing very good, as did most of the fans. Well today the guy who was running it told me that he had decided on a new guy to be his main commentary guy for Season 2. Turns out its an old friend who has commentary experience. I heard him and frankly, he stinks. So this guy went behind my back to find a new commentary guy and then decides to tell me thru a facebook message.
I am about ready to scream, I'm so mad right now. First my wrestling show gets screwed up and now THIS. I honestly don;t know what to do anymore. I always wanted to be a wrestling commentator, and it just gets taken from me like THAT.
I'm just fed up with everything right now...I don't know what to do.
