How insanely cool is this birthday gift I received 🎟️ 🤯 

I attended this wwe TV taping when I was 11 yrs old to watch my dad, “Soulman” Rocky Johnson and all my WWF wrestlers - they wrestled 4Xs in one day. They were shooting 4hrs of TV tapings for the entire month. My dad wrestled over 325 nights a year. All the wrestlers did. That’s the way pro wrestling was back then — my dad was never home, always banged up and always in pain. Pro wrestlers were a different breed back then. Different cloth and DNA. Boundless love and respect to all the OG wrestlers, and “the wrestling way” of this crazy world that I love. 

I’m super hard (pain in the ass 😂🙋🏽‍♂️) to buy gifts for so it means so much to me to receive gifts like this where A LOT of thought and care is put into it. 

Appreciate the hell outta my guy, Brad Slater for this one. 

Awesome gift 🥃
