"They say that you never forget your first love and my first love was wrestling."

This quote by Beth Phoenix, from her HOF speech, has stuck with me from the moment she spoke it. My first love is absolutely professional wrestling. And, honestly, it's probably my son's as well. He's been watching with me since day one. This picture is from him watching Cody Rhodes tonight, on SmackDown!. His eyes and entire face will light up for exactly two wrestlers right now. Cody Rhodes and LA Knight. We're headed to the event on December 17 and this will be his second WWE event. ;) He's so excited and I'm excited for him to get to see Cody and maybe even, LA Knight. It's so much fun watching my first love with my biggest love. Everyone has that one thing in their life that has always been there for them, always cheered them up, and a lot of people have that one thing in their life that saved their life. Professional wrestling is that for me. All of that. Being bullied in elementary school and high school, coming home to watch WWF or WCW was what I looked forward to every day. It was always there when I needed something and it honestly is the biggest thing that saved my life, because it gave me something to focus on outside of everything going on. It's so incredibly special to me and it's so hard to explain it to people. But everyone has something. Music, books, TV, movies, video games, card games, board games, art...mine just happens to be professional wrestling. What is your one thing? What is something, outside of people, that you can always count on? That is your instant cheer up? Love, Candace
