      Predicting ones future, including your own, can be a tricky and somewhat delicate process. You never know what's to transpire from your current status, but if I had to take a guess....president.

      Probably president......of Earth.

      No, I have been very irregular with attendance. I was however raised in catholic school and pray everyday very specifically.

      My red Michael Jordan 45 jersey from when I was like 11. It was HUGE then and it's all slim fitting now.

      Yup. He has his own circuit of Lucha libre shows in his calendar and he is on most Licha VaVoom shows as well.

      I guess I felt like it was me, but not all of me. I could stay and corner myself in a category I do admittedly identify with, or I can be identified as myself and branch into all of my interests.

      For example, I could be Del Rio, or I can be The Rock. Absolutely nothing wrong with being a del rio. By the book model of a rich Latino stereotype character. If someone asks what's del rios character....9/10 people will say Mexican. Like JBL or Ted dibiase. It's a common demo you see around the world.

      If you ask what's the rocks character? It's The Rock. Self defined. He could have stayed a Native American like when he was debut as Rocky Maivia. He could have stayed a black supremist from the Nation of Domination. However he added to his heritage based characters and became more like himself, acted more like himself, now he is his own personal stereotype. Now you actually can describe others by saying, oh they are like The Rock.

      The best, most versatile characters in history are self defined. What's ric flairs character? What's Bret harts character? Shawn michaels? Jericho?

      THey don't have characters, they are described by name alone.

      Perhaps the undertaker is the only prominent stereotype character with longevity and a sense of versatility, but then again look how much it has evolved over the years.

      So I spent awhile identifying witht the emo rock character. Then I felt like, well wait a minute. Here I am dressing like everyone else, talking and acting like everyone else. When I started to be more like myself and define myself, I find guys dressing like me instead now, acting like me, talking like me. That's the ultimate goal.

      Be the definition, not the model.

      You know I didn't really have any issue with it. I just drifted away as a means of defining myself more personally. I identify with emo rock but I'm also a life long athlete, I'm also Filipino and I'm into rap and video games as well. It was a good identifiable look but not completely definitive of me.

      I think Jimmy drifts from it as well to try and define his personal tastes a bit more too.

      I felt jimmy did it better because he would show up to shows in black suits and boots with eyeliner on, and while I bleach my hair and wear wristbands...I also wear nikes and work out a lot. I watch sportscenter. I wasn't as raw as him all around.

      I don't think there's a minimum weight limit for the world heavyweight titles. I guess you'd have to be a double champ and have both titles at stake in order to force a heavyweight to compete under x divisions weight limit.

      I'd like to see that and then take the world title down to the x division and force them to wrestle x division 3 ways to get it back. At least 2 of them would have to cut weight, Roode wouldn't make it.

      Age. In sure if you look hard enough you'd see it on the Indys somewhere but generally the older wrestlers hang around awhile and they are beyond current generation stuff.

      When I show up at raw or TNA with skinny jeans, Jordan's, a SnapBack hat, and headphones on they all look at me like I'm purple. They don't realize that over half their audience looks like that now. Even on the bigger Indys it's that way.

      I think Cena and hardy are the closest wrestling has to contemporary imagery. There's still a large cross section of young America that is unidentified with.
