For several years now the legends and Veterans of the wrestling business in Texas have gotten together at the Texas Shoot out.
This year Deshawn and I had the awesome pleasure of being able to attend.
The event was held in Ft. Worth and as soon as we walked in we were both dumbfounded. It was a truly amazing thing to see! That many people in the same room that gave so much of themselves to wrestling entertainment wa inspiring to say the least.Many of the Veterans spoke about the brotherhood of wrestlers and how much the business has changed. Deshawn got to meet people that changed the face of wrestling like Jake the snake Roberts, and like Iceman King Parsons who was the first African- American man to hold a world championship title. There were promoters there as well , of course Richard "Lvis" and Tammy were there as well as Killer Tim Brooks and Cowboy Johnny Mantell who is actually the one who put the shoot out together with his fantastic wife Kay. I was so proud of my husband who worked the room like a true professional. He talked little and listened a lot. It was a great afternoon, and even though times are tough for my little family having a day like that was a pretty awesome shinning moment I know my husband will never forget.
