ILittle Rock, i-Arkansas yidolobha elihle. Yidolobha elijwayelekile, eliseningizimu, iDolobha elikhulu, eligcwele abantu abavela kuzo zonke izizinda zokuphila. Njenganoma yimuphi omunye umuzi, iLittle Rock inamaphutha ayo. Abantu abangenamakhaya bakhule kakhulu, kunomkhawulo enanini lemisebenzi esezingeni eliphakeme, futhi-ke kukhona uhlangothi lwedolobha izivakashi ezingafuna ukuzigwema.
Noma kunjalo, kusekhaya kimi. Abangani bami nomndeni wami bonke balapha, ikhaya lami lilapha, yilapho engiphila khona njalonjalo. Ngokwazi kwami, akukubi kangako ngendawo. Abanye bangahle bangavumi, kepha kuyikhaya kimi, futhi nginezinto zokukhumbula impilo yami yonke kuleli dolobha elihle, eliseningizimu.
Kuzo zonke izinkumbulo zami zobuntwana, eziningi zalezo zinkumbulo zihilela isakhiwo esidala esaziwa ngokuthi iBarton Coliseum. IBarton kwakuyindawo engangibuka kuyo umcimbi wami wokuqala we-wrestling bese kuba neminye eminingi ngemuva kwalokho.
Maphakathi nawo-1980, iBarton Coliseum kwakuyindawo yokuma njalo yeMid-South Wrestling. Eqinisweni, phakathi kweMid-South, iMemphis Wrestling, kanye namanye amaphromoshini we-wrestling yendawo, uBarton Coliseum wenza umbukiso we-wrestling okungenani amahlandla amabili ngenyanga.
Lokhu bekuyisiqongo se-wrestling bukhoma, ngokombono wami, ngoba nje ngikwazile ukuya kweminingi yale micimbi ebukhoma.
Ngasekupheleni kuka-1997, ngoMsombuluko, ngoDisemba 15, ukuze kube ngqo, iWWF yafika edolobheni. Empeleni, ezinyangeni ezaqala ukufika kulo mdlalo, lo mcimbi ubukhangiswa njenge-Raw TV etapa. Ngaleso sikhathi, kwakungakaze kube ne-Raw taping eLittle Rock, ngakho abalandeli babezimisele ukufika kulo mdlalo.
Ake ngigcizelele lelo qiniso, lo mbukiso nakanjani wakhangiswa njenge-WWF Raw TELEVISION TAPING. Kwakunamabhodi amabili kulo lonke leli dolobha, womabili lawo asho ngokusobala iRAW TV TAPING, kanye nengxoxo emsakazweni noRocky Maivia, lapho naye asho khona ukuthi wayejabule kanjani 'ngeRaw yanamuhla eLittle Rock.'
Akudingeki ukuthi kushiwo, abalandeli beza, belindele ukuqoshwa okuluhlaza.
Ngikhumbula ngimi ujenga emnyango, ngabo-5: 00 ntambama isikhathi sendawo. Amathikithi ethu athi iminyango ivulwe ngo-6: 00 ntambama, ngakho-ke sabona ukuthi sinesikhathi esiningi, nalokho esakwenza. Ekufikeni kwethu, ngikhumbula ngibona abantu bekleliswe ngezinkulungwane. Abalandeli, abancane nabadala bebelinde ukungena ngaphakathi kulokho esikholelwa ukuthi yi-Raw taping.
Ngemuva kokulinda ulayini cishe ihora nesigamu, unogada weza komunye weminyango wathi basamile, kepha iminyango izovulwa kungekudala. Lokhu kwanelisa isixuku esasikhathazekile okwamanje, njengoba sasicabanga ukuthi babematasa nje bemisa indawo enezitezi ezinkulu zaseRaw.
Ngemuva kweminye imizuzu engamashumi amathathu, iminyango ivulwe ngo-7: 00 kusihlwa, nabalandeli bakujabulele ukuthi ekugcineni bazongena, ngoba lokhu ebesicabanga ukuthi kungaba ubusuku obuyingqophamlando edolobheni lethu. Ngenkathi singena, into yokuqala esayiqaphelayo, ukuthi kwakukhona indawo yokuthengisa eyodwa kuphela evulekile. Lokhu kubonakale kuyinto exakile, ikakhulukazi uma kubhekwa abalandeli abangaphezu kuka-7,000 obekulindeleke ukuthi bapakishe le ndawo.
Yize kunjalo, ngime kulayini isikhashana ngathenga uhlelo lwesikhumbuzo, nehembe lika-Undertaker. Ngemuva kokuvakashela itafula lokuthengisela impahla, mina nomngane wami sajikeleza iphaseji saya esikhethini esasizongena kulo, ukuze sifike ezihlalweni zethu. Lapho sesidlulile kulelo khethini elimnyama, kulapho yonke into yaqala ukuya eningizimu.
Ngenkathi singena endaweni yokuhlala abantu enkundleni, sabona ukuthi kwakungekho sigaba seRaw; lalingekho itafula labamemezeli, kwakungekho izibani ezikhethekile, kungekho lutho. Kwakukhona ikhethini elikhulu ekhoneni, okuyilapho ama-wrestlers ayengangena khona. Kwaba yilokho-ke.
Isimo esasiphakathi kwendawo sasinciphe kakhulu kunebutho elijabule labashisekeli ababemi ngaphandle emakhazeni ashubisa umnkantsha amahora. Esikufundile ngokulandelayo, yilokho okwathumela yonke into ekuhlanyeni okuphelele.
Izihlalo zethu zaziphansi, imigqa emithathu ukusuka eringini. Mina nomngane wami, uMichael sasigcinile futhi sachitha imali eningi ukuthola la mathikithi, silindele ukubona ukuqoshwa okuluhlaza. Bese ukhumbula; ngaleso sikhathi sasineminyaka engu-18 kuphela ubudala, futhi kwakunzima nokuthola imali. Lokhu bekungokwezipho zethu zikaKhisimusi kithi uqobo.
Noma kunjalo, sanquma ukuhlala phansi futhi senze konke okusemandleni kulesi simo. Ngisho nakuleli qophelo, besicabanga ukuthi mhlawumbe kube nephutha, noma mhlawumbe basazoqhubeka nokuthwebula i-TV, ngaphandle kokusetha. Besingazi ukuthi sizocabangani, futhi nabanye abayizinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa abadumazanga ababekhona.
Ekugcineni, omunye wabasebenzi bezokuphepha be-WWF wadlula ngakithi, kwathi omunye emgqeni ongaphambili wambuza ukuthi ngabe lokhu bekuwukuqoshwa kwe-TV, waphendula wathi 'cha, kumane kungumbukiso wendlu. URaw uqoshwe ngesonto eledlule. ' Lowo ngumzuzu ngqo lapho sizizwe sinqotshwe ngokuphelele, futhi sanengwa.
Ngokushesha nje ngemuva kokuhlala kwethu, umbukiso waqala. Ngenkathi abanye abalandeli abangenelisekile bekhetha ukuhamba, sanquma ukuhlala. I-box office yayicace bha ekusaziseni ukuthi ngeke kube khona ukubuyiselwa imali, ngakho-ke sasingenakho okunye esingakwenza ngaphandle kokwenza okungcono kakhulu esimweni esihle.
Emdlalweni wokuqala, uKane wehlule uChainz emncintiswaneni oyisidina kakhulu, ongaconsi phansi, okungenzeka ukuthi uthathe imizuzu emithathu yonke, mhlawumbe. Emdlalweni olandelayo, u-Undertaker wehlule i-Intercontinental Champion Rocky Maivia, emdlalweni we-casket owawungesona isicoco.
Manje, lokhu bekufanele kube ukuhlangana okubabazekayo, akunjalo? Akulungile. Kufile okungalungile.
Lo mdlalo ubuye waphuthuma wahamba mhlawumbe imizuzu eyi-6 noma engu-7 isiyonke.
Lesi sithombe sikhombisa okwenzeka ngemuva kokuthi amaphoyisa efake isisi esikhalisa unyembezi
Ngemuva komdlalo weTaker, abalandeli baqala ukuphonsa iphepha, ukudla namabhodlela kuma-wrestlers. Ekuqaleni, ezokuphepha bezikwazi ukugcina ukulawula, futhi umbukiso waqhubekela phambili. Kodwa-ke, njengoba ubusuku buqhubeka, futhi imidlalo ibiqhutshwa ngokuqhubekayo, abalandeli bacasulwe kakhulu yileso sikhathi.
Ukungasayiphathi indawo lapho bekusezwa khona utshwala emabhodleleni engilazi .... IZINGWANE ZEBHODLELA?! ?? Ngizokunika ukuqagela okukodwa ukuthi lawo mabhodlela engilazi angenalutho aphelela kuphi. Yebo, eringini.
Ngalesi sikhathi, mina nomngane wami sasishaywa ekhanda yimfucumfucu endizayo, ngakho-ke kunokuba sihambe ngaphambi kokuba umbukiso uphele, sanquma ukukhuphukela phezulu, ukugwema ukushaywa yisihlalo noma okunye. . Umcimbi ophambili kusihlwa bekufanele ube yi-Stone Cold Steve Austin noDude Love vs. Hunter Hearst Helmsley noShawn Michaels.
Ngesikhathi sokungena, uMichaels washaywa ekhanda ngohlobo oluthile lwento yengilazi. U-HBK wavele wabamba imakrofoni, watshela isixuku lawa magama ngqo- 'Ngenxa yenkunzi yakho engavuthiwe, umbukiso usuphelile!'
Yilapho isixuku esasicasuke saphenduka isidumo esigcwele.
Abalandeli baphonsa noma yini abangafinyelela kuyo, eringini, noma kunoma ngubani obukeka sengathi usebenzela iWWF noma iBarton Coliseum. Ngesinye isikhathi, omunye wonogada wagxotshwa ngabalandeli, base bekhipha ihembe lakhe emhlane balithungela ngomlilo.
Ngesikhathi izinto zikhula kabi lokhu, kungenzeka ukuthi bekusele abalandeli abangama-3 500 noma ngaphezulu abasele ngaphakathi kwesakhiwo. Iningi labo belisusa udlame, kuyilapho abambalwa bethu behlala ngaphandle kolayini womlilo, benethemba lokuthi izinto zizofa. Phakathi kwalesi siphithiphithi, bekukhona cishe bonke abasebenzi bezokuphepha abayi-15 noma abangama-20 abasebenza ukulwa nezinkulungwane zabalandeli abadakiwe nabathukuthele.
Ekugcineni, kwabizwa amaphoyisa asedolobheni nasembusweni ukuba asabalalise lesi simo.
kungani ngicasukela isoka lami
Lapho nje amaphoyisa efika, atshala imishini yokukhipha izinyembezi, okwakubonakala sengathi yenza iqhinga ngokushesha okukhulu. Lapho konke sekushiwo futhi kwenziwa, kwakukhona amakhulu ezinkulungwane zamaRandi kumonakalo, inqwaba yabalandeli eyathunyelwa esibhedlela, futhi kwaboshwa abantu abaningi.
Kwakuwuchungechunge lwezehlakalo ezingezinhle, ezazingagwemeka kalula, ukube amandla e-WWF ayengaqanjelwa amanga kubalandeli. Angisoze ngavumela udlame njengendlela yokuxazulula isimo esinjengalesi, kodwa bekungafanele ngabe siqanjelwe amanga kwasekuqaleni.
Ngokumangazayo, le nkampani yaqhuba umbukiso wezindlu ngobusuku obandulelayo, eMemphis Pyramid lapho abalandeli beMemphis baphikisana nabo, nombukiso wabo nawo wanqanyulwa. Yize kunamahlebezi amaningi okuthi kungani lokho kwenzekile, abalandeli abaya, bathi cishe ingxenye kuphela yamaSuperstars amenyezelwe empeleni avele.
