A Trip To Kentucky
The story of my trip to Kentucky to buy, of all things, a wrestling ring!
Now you must think i'm crazy, and I am not going to try to convince you otherwise but I would do it again
First things first, My friends and I are huge wrestling fans. Most people think of wrestling fans as idiotic hicks but I showed them. I'm an idiot from the city. That's for another article though. Anyways we love wrestling and have been backyard wrestling for 5 years. Unlike the stories you hear no one has been set on fire and no one had been crippled.
We have been wrestling on mattress's for the past four years. This limits what you are able to do. Without ropes or turnbuckles, the matches suffer. I decided that we should buy a ring. Most called me crazy, but hey that's never stopped me before.
I searched for different prices on the internet to get a rough idea of how much a ring would cost. 5000 dollars!!!! I knew they were expensive but I didn't think they would cost that much! Finally I cam across a professional wrestler site that was selling rings for 3000$. This was still to much but it was a start. I wrote him a letter telling him what big fans of wrestling we were, but that we could only afford aomething around 1500. I eagerly awaited his reply
