In October of last year, Jimmy James and myself packed up the 1998 Isuzu Rodeo and headed to lovely Monroe, New Jersey. Little did we know what was in store for us.
The drive down there was going as smooth as a baby’s bottom…not that I know what that feels like, but you get the analogy, so lets move on to more important matters. While driving through I believe Connecticut, a driver became very unhappy with me. He got directly in front of me and would not let me pass him. I slowed down to 40 miles per hour on the highway; he slowed down to the same speed. I tried to hit the gas and pass him, but this son of a bitch veers into the next lane and almost smacks into me.
I believe it’s at this point that he begins flipping us off. No wait, that was when Jimm grabbed the camera and started filming the idiot. A public service announcement stating to steer clear of this pool stick sucking son of a gun was in short order. Truth be told, I was getting nervous. This hunk of fecal matter was scaring the bejesus out of me, so I came up with a plan. At the next exit, I would put my blinker on and act like I was getting off, then at the last minute, I would get back onto the highway. I figured the moron would bite on the bait and take the exit. He wanted fisticuffs and by god I was gonna make him think he was getting em’! Long story short (too late) he bought, although he did flip us off until he faded off into the sunset…
JJ: Let me tell you driving through Connecticut man that was fucked up. This dude almost side swipes us and shit, but me and Bill go back to talking and then we notice the guy who almost side swiped us is going like 30 in the fast lane but every time we try to pass him he keeps drifting in front of us. Realizing the guy is some sort of asshole, I decide to film the experience. As soon as the dude sees the camera he starts flipping us off while continuing to impede our driving. Bill used some tricky driving and got the guy to go off the exit. I am mad at myself cuz I got caught up in flipping this dude off that the filming went to shits. It was an interesting way to start off the trip.
Now back to important matters. Jimmy James and I were headed to the Roast of the Iron Sheik. The evening was put together largely in part by the fine folks at Kayfabe Commentaries for a dvd release. To make matters all the better, a huge autograph signing was taking place the next day so legions of wrestlers were in town for the festivities.
JJ: One of my favorite things about going to the New Jersey/Philadelphia area is the Yuenglang and Yuenglang Light beer. Some people told me it was piss water but they can fuck off!
Imagine walking around and saying hello to Glacier. Then you see Bill Apter and he says hi to you, well because he thinks you are going to say hello to him even though you are not. Add in meeting several other wrestlers, and that is what Jimmy James experienced. Whenever I harkened out of the hotel room, I didn’t see anybody. But J.J. is a tad more adventurous than I; to the victor go the spoils.
JJ: The Billdozer is in fact a dozer. The dude sleeps late and likes to take naps. While he was still asleep I went and had a swim in the pool and walked around. I bumped into Sean Oliver on his way to film In the Office w/ Rene Goulet. After we got back from a lovely meal at Joe’s Crab shack the dozer dozed off and went down to the lobby to have a smoke and scope out the situation. I rode the elevator down with Glacier and we exchange pleasantries. From there I bumped into Don Muroco, Bill Apter, Brain Blair, and Jim Powers. As I walked through the lobby I heard a bunch of guys go, “Hey that’s the You Shoot guy!” I hope Bill’s beauty rest was worth it.
(Bill post edit: It wasn’t.)
