When I was a kid I totally loved wrestling… even though my mom kinda hated it, she would make it a point to take me to all of the WWF events when they would travel to the area. While going through a pile of stuff she gave me for my 31st birthday, I came across the following card handed out at a house show in Rockford, IL. On this night, I got licked by a Bushwhacker and a security guard even let us get in the ring!
