Flashback Fridays - My Pro Wrestling Career

I used to like to watching wrestling and reenacting moves they used. I know that it is staged, but their skills still impressed me. In my younger days I used to take on people living on my dorm floor. Here's a sampling of some of my wrestling days in Bloom.
My first garb was that of the HPM (Happy Pumpkin Man).
It was a short lived routine, but I was loved by all of my fans.


Every pro wrestler has an arch rival. Mine was "Big Man". Here I am "allowing" him to suplex me in the dorm hall at college. (Don't worry I had things completed under control) I'd later do my finishing move to him, the mattress bomb, in which I'd sneak into a rival's room dragging my mattress. I'd hurl my "weapon" on my opponent, and jump repetitively on the mattress, rendering them immobile, before claiming victory for myself. Yes, it was silly, but it was also a lot of fun....mostly.

I still do that on occasion. But I prefer to use the more official name of "Atomic Mattress Bomb".
