I was.I was. I was smarter and stronger and faster and just plain better than 99% of those cretins. I wonder sometimes if any of the teachers or "the establishment" as we liked to call it back then, noticed that I didn't DO team sports, I mean there was a wrestling TEAM, but you wrestle one-on-one. I was the best in my weight class, I was the goddamn conference champ all through High School, but wrestling is a dead-end, there's no REAL pro-wrestling, and nobody was knocking on my door asking me to train for the Olympics. Gym teachers let me slide in the other sports because I made a name for the school, I told them flat out I wasn't going to DO gymnastics, they couldn't MAKE me flop around like a dying fish, and they let it slide. That first time I met that Todd kid, his mother actually picked me up in her fucking Cadillac Seville, leather interior, fucking AIR CONDITIONING and a FM RADIO and electric damn windows. |
