Wrestling to Politics

Jesse Ventura isn't the only former wrestler to turn into a politician. A masked wrestler won an assembly seat in Japan. And apparently he won't remove the mask in the political arena. Maybe politics and entertainment are getting too blurred?

TV exposure

I was flipping through the channels (I have already seen this week's Monster Garage) and my brother was on the Science Channel. The particular show is Mastodon in Your Backyard. The show follows the discovery of a mastodon's remains in Hyde Park, New York. My brother drilled the teeth to try and find some DNA. I was really nervous the first time I watched the show. I was afraid he wouldn't be on it, but they finally showed him in last five minutes of the show, but he is there. There was a chance that they wouldn't show him at all. The crew did do an interview with him, but unfortunately that didn't make the final cut.

But this isn't the first time someone from our family was on national television. I was on a WCW episode when they came to Asheville. And after I threw a paper cup at a Kevin Nash aka Diesel, I was promptly asked to leave the arena by the police department. But to my credit, at least I hit him. I would have hated to leave and missed him. Good times. :)
