Haha yeah sorry to burst your bubble.

I used to follow wcw as a youngin and now listen to the Steve Austin podcast.

I've always been quite gumby, however my wife used to do taekwondo in Beijing.

She used to also be a referee. And when I went back to Beijing I met her coach. He showed me an article in English about himself. It talked about how Chinese wrestling (Shuai jiao) used to be the biggest sport in china but then the government stopped sponsoring it and athletes went into Olympic sports. Her coach tried to bring it back and uses his taekwondo school to subsidize the sport of shuai jiao and now it is becoming an international sport.

He was really proud he was in an international magazine then told my wife he doesn't know what the article said because he hasn't seen it in Chinese, so my wife had to explain what the article is about. I joked it could have said how much of an idiot he is and he was going around feeling proud he was in a magazine haha.
