Thread: Would you know this is me?

I was told by a coworker that if I posted this pic of myself in the office no one would guess it was me.

Well, I did and so far everyone knew it was me.

Would you?




Now:

I think I would figure it out. Though you have matured

Matured huh..... That's a nice way of putting it.

The hair is the same color.

In a b&w picture, sure it is.

I could probably pick you out of a police line-up...

So my disguise needs to improve? Ok, thanks!

At first I thought that the photo of the little girl (on your avatar) was what yuou were getting at...THAT would be a pretty radical change for sure.

That is our daughter in Kindergarden. Since she graduates College in May I decided to use that avatar.

I thought it was the Debbil!

I know one thing from that newer picture.I wouldn`t try to fight ya!Tough Guy!

I could tell it was you: same cheekbones, eyes and nose, but it looks like there was several years between pictures. If you don't mind me asking, how many years difference is there between them?

Ya know, that'd be kind of a fun thread. Old pictures of us vs. us now. Times are a changin' man!

Its the cheekbones that really give it away!

The B&W pic was 18 years ago, I was 17.

The color pic is now at age 35.

Funny you should say that...I thought those were pics from a line up.

Yeah, I vaguely remember seeing the pic at the Post Office too.

Must of have been a wrestling ad.

Macho Man Adam Leavelle.

Believe it or not I used to be a pro wrestler.That is the honest truth.

Joe, what name did you go by? I may know people who knew/know you.

The last name I went by before retiring for GOOD was "Righteous Reese Randolph". I was only managing at the time.

No,you wouldn`t know me.I only wrestled several matches.I thought I was pretty good.Of course I had to be the "bad guy" which was fun.I got out after Christ took hold of me.Mainly because it is such a utterly sick buisness.I am not exagerating when I say this.I have never seen so much nastiness anywhere close to what I have seen in prowrestling.

I went by the name "Joe Capone"

I went through some training by a guy named "Motley Cruz" and most of my training came from a guy named "Steel".

I know what you mean!!!!! And it's refreshing to talk to someone who can understand. I still struggle with leaving at times because I know I was good, especially on the mic. I could talk and talk and talk and crowds loved to hear me even though they hated what I said!

At the time I left, TNA wanted to see a video of me! Man, that was tough walking away at that point.

But it is over all a very ungodly sport/activity even though there are some within it that claim Christ as Lord.

I`m sure you experienced hearing people who could use the F word four times in one sentence.Wrestlers curse more than anybody I have ever heard.Even the women.The wrestler Motley`s wife was also a trainer for me and she had the filthiest mouth.Even when I was lost I though it was sick.

TNA huh?Hehehehe my friend Jerrad wrestled a preliminary match last year against AJ Styles.He recently got to wresle Eddie Guerrero too.I think in a way it is cool and all but even if Jerrad makes it it will still be rough.There is no money in wrestling.There is no insurance.It is very cuthroat also.The guys who make it 99 percent of the time stepped on somebody to get where they are,and continously step on others to keep their positions.If they don`t it is because they kill themselves every time they wrestle.Mick Foley is a good example of that.He didn`t make it in wrestling because of being a cuthroat or a great technical wresler.He made it because he killed himself wrestling.I really wonder what type of shape he will be in in 10 years?Oh and look what example he left.He`s a nice guy but I would put some blame on him of why "Backyard Wrestling" is so popular with teens today.He left the example of hurting your body to entertain themselves.
Okay about my friend Jerrad.We had our first match against each other.He was only 14 at the time.He is 18 and has wrestled for four years now and already is sore all the time.He has a couple of bulging disks in his back already.First and foremost I pray for his soul.He`s as lost as can be.I have evanglized to him before and he actually did listen in a way but his heart didn`t.I pray that the Lord would open His true eyes and ears to Christ.I pray it is not at the expense of paralyzation.

Before Darth Vader and After Darth Vader sorry jk lol

I think Sting is a Christian but into that pentecostal stuff

I think the same with Shawn Michaels and Ted Dibiase.

Eddie Guerrero is a Christian too and I don`t think he is pentecostal either.

You hit the nail right on the head there Joe!

Dibiase runs a "Christian Wrestling" group where many old timers profess Christ. Some inside the business though say it's a gimmick to keep getting paid! I am not and would not say that, but many do.

Hard to say.But,from what I read about Dibiase,he seems sincere.

I've not seen Dibiase questioned or doubted, but many who join him are. Wayne Ferris will insist that many who work for him are not Christians and if you know him well enough, he will tell you how he supposedly know that.

That's my whole issue. I am not certain it's possible to display a Christian life style within that business.

I would never take ANYTHING Mr. Honky would ever say as truth.Have you heard the things he said about all Christians?I better not repeat it but just remember what I posted above about prowrestlers having the strange ability to use the F word up to four times in one sentence.:P

Is my avatar showing up for you?

[Edited on 2-10-2005 by Average Joey]

Yes, Wayne is a bit bitter but who isn't in that business anyomore?

And yes, your avatar shows and looks good!
