I had a buddy who was trying to become a pro wrestler. So he took me one day to his wrestling school which was owned by the Wild Samoans. It's a shame because there were many more pictures I can't even find 
. There were pictures of Bobby Heenan, who is the most funny person I have ever met! there was pictures of Brett Hart, The Samoans picking me up acting like they were gonna throw me out of the ring, and a few more. It was fun. In the picture of the 2 guys holding the WWF belt in front of Yokozuna, the black guy is Mr. Hughes, and the other guy was Doink the Clown (Matt Barnes). In the very last photo, this was the thrill of my life. OK, picture this: I'm 13 years old, and I'm at the Philadelphia Spectrum. Great seats right at the aisle. Bob Backlund comes out to wrestle Larry Zbysko. Backlund was one of my all time favorites. So as he's walking by, I say "Mr. Backlund, can I get a picture with you?" So he stops and says "Catch me after the match." I'm like, "Yea, whatever." So he wrestles Larry Zbysko to a 1 hour time limit draw. I'm thinking "No f**king way is he gonna want a picture." So help me God, he walks out of the ring and right over to me. He says "Hey kid, you still want that picture?" I'm like "YEA!!" So I thought I was just gonna put my arm around him or something. He scoops me up in a bodyslam pose. There's about 40,000 people screaming "DROP HIM, DROP HIM!!!!" I'm laughing, Bob's laughing. It was one of those memories I will never ever forget.

And the last time I saw Brian was about a year ago in Dollar General with a woman and he looked much bigger than in high school and full of tattoos and silver jewelry
