a short one but at least it's positive.
Last night, Bull Nakano was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. Bull is my favorite female wrestler of all time (Sherri Martel either tied with her or right behind) and seeing that she was only in WWF/E for only one year but leaving such an impression on me is something. She was always a domineering heel (villain) wherever she wrestled, and I always cheered for her. To find out she had been professionally wrestling since 15, even winning her first women's title at 16 is pretty damn amazing. More than anything I was doing at that age. I know she's had her ups and downs (we all do) including a very serious health scare but I'm glad she is still here, still strong and smiling more or at least more than she did when she wrestled in the states.
Sadly, her induction into the hall of the fame came at a time where I don't watch wrestling anymore (see my last blog on why) but knowing that Keiko "Bull Nakano" Aoki is finally recognized in the *ahem* "greatest" 😒wrestling organization, the organization that introduced me to her makes me smile, even a little bit.
Ah...
中野さん

I hope this didn't come out as gibberish.
