Throwback Thursday time! Here’s something I had completely forgotten about. 1998 I was in New York looking for talent to manage. I was in between promotions and a free agent. The talent I was managing just finished up a lucrative championship run with the belt in hand. While I was there I got a call to come over to the Saturday Night Live studios. Some of the cast members were fans of mine and there was a possibility I would on the show. It was certainly great to meet everyone and see behind the scenes. They had something written for me to be on the show in a very fun sketch like Gilligan’s Island. With me playing sort of a Thurston Howell the third character. Will Ferrell was Gilligan and few other cast members filled out as the castaways. Unfortunately, I had to pass because I felt like being seen in a goofy situation might compromise my chances of booking new talent,and getting hired with another promotion. Anyway,it all worked out and I’m still proud of the memories I gave those people who met me on the show. Here’s a challenge today for you chimps out there. You can’t possibly be as awesome as I am. But that’s no reason to not try to be better. Of course you’re a failure. But dammit, try to be a better one.-$
