WrestleCade 2015
Monday, January 25th, 2016
If it hadn’t been for Ricky Steamboat, I would have probably never even known about WrestleCade IV in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. I had tried to keep tabs on wrestling autograph events, but this one looked positively giant compared to most of them… and what’s more, they had a lot of names, both obscure and pretty popular, who had been on my long-term radar to try and meet. When I met Steamboat at Fanboy Expo in Knoxville, his handler passed on a coupon to this WrestleCade event and I immediately became intrigued with the many names on the coupon. Then when I checked it online, it had even more names – some of them incredible! I immediately ran this by my Dad and he quickly assessed that it would be something he’d like to attend as well.

It’s Their Move

I wouldn’t be so silly to try and make the case that the obscure TV show It’s Your Move carries the same kind of quality or weight as, let’s say, the films of Laurel and Hardy. No sir, not by a long stretch. But here’s the thing: somehow this little show that ran for just 18 episodes in 1984-1985 has taken on some serious acreage in my landscape of nostalgic loves.

Therefore it would stand to reason that like actors from the Laurel & Hardy films, the actors from It’s Your Move are highly sought out by me when it comes to celebrity encounters. Of course considering that the TV show was made just over 30 years ago, and the L&H films were made roughly 75-85 years ago, meeting the IYM actors hasn’t quite taken on the same urgency.

After a long day at Disneyland, it’s always nice to have a rather leisurely morning the day after, and that’s exactly what we did on Tuesday, July 1, 2014. There’s never any shortage of laughs when I’m at David’s house, what with quoting someone or something, or watching skewed Brady Bunch clips on YouTube, trying to get ready between the fits of cracking up. Eventually we composed ourselves and headed out to Los Angeles to meet Jimmy at his office. We milled about there briefly and then hit the road for the trek to Malibu Creek State Park, arriving a little bit after 11:00am. Read the rest of this entry »
