THE TWO COMBATANTS LOCK UP. RICHARD R. GOODE 2024Comedy isn’t the only skill necessary to put on a great show. The level of physical endurance required for this style of entertainment is near limitless. RICHARD R. GOODE 2024In an insidius move The Rhinestone Cowboy teams up with Nichole Miller against Rex Rothchild at BOOM Wrestling’s Big Egg Energy event. RICHARD R. GOODE 2024“You know, wrestling really saved me from a lot of bad decisions. I started when I was 17, I was a heart broken emo kid who wanted the world to listen to their problems. It became evident that people would only listen to emotional pain for so long, but if I could show them physical pain, that they would listen to. To be able to do that, I couldn’t stay out and party like I used to, couldn’t get into drugs or eat like shit, I had to stay healthy. Without wrestling I don’t know who I would have become.” Ravenous Randy Myers is the punk rock hero of the masses, they give everything they have to all forms of entertainment. The tradition of larger than life personalities and scary monster-men may have been given up on mega networks like WWE, but it is the heart and soul of the smaller circuits. A focus on storytelling and loveable heroes and bastardly villains is what draws in the crowds and makes them feel like they are a part of it. Its something that gets to be just theirs, and that is incredibly special. RICHARD R. GOODE 2024
