Not sure why I'm just getting around to posting this but I'm proud to be featured on Jimmy Valiant of WWF and NWA fame's website

While I've always loved wrestling, it was never in the cards for me to become a wrestler. I love the athleticism and the entertainment but I've never been attracted to the idea of being a wrestler. I was always on the outside, looking in, until recently.
I have been lucky enough to get to know Jimmy as a friend and get to help him at his merchandise stand at a few shows. Most recently he helped collaborate on a book I wrote where he did a forward. Without his support (and Nikolai) I would not have had the courage to see the dream through to publication.
So, has anyone had the luck to work with a wrestler? Perhaps helping at a merchandise stand or maybe even wrestling an independent match. Maybe they have a 9-5 job and you work in the cubicle next to them. Were they nice as can be or were they the quote come to life "don't meet your heroes as they will disappoint"
Now I need to try and get the book viral. I KNEW I should have dropped the $250 for an "in-bed" picture of Sunny holding the book. That would've got people talking. Guess I have to settle for the regular photo op from a recent show, where I had to be on my BEST behavior as not to embarrass my photographer.
