In fact, among my proudest accomplishments in entertainment was hosting and producing our own branded Rough House Rasslin' events, where families and fans enjoyed the skill and science of wrestlers like Chi Chi Cruz, Bruiser Bastien, La Sombra and many more.
Chuck Green gave us a tremendous opportunity and the lasting memories for the performers and the fans are part of his legacy. Right, Horse?
Every year a hundred thousand people or more pass down the street and renew old friendships, sample food and fashion from local stores, stroll to the vibe of live local music, and enjoy the freedom to be Canadian. It's a sea of harmony and good feelings.
Once again this year I will be at the Osborne Village Inn doing my best to help things run smoothly, and I hope to see our listeners and supporters come out for awhile to enjoy Thursday night and the Friday holiday with us, and maybe even grab some wobbly pops from the vendor out back for your party at home. (Just to be clear, no, a wrestling show is not scheduled this year.)
