Paolo!! Paolo! My mother said, Paolo what did I say about watching those thumb wrestling matches” “come on ma what has thumb wrestling ever done to you” said Paolo
“you know what I finally think your old enough to know. Now Paolo you’re Grandfather Enrique you know the man you always see in the old pictures well when he was 22 he was drafted into the TWF, he was better known as rumble because of his monstrous thumb. Anyway he was knocking out star players like sushi and tomcat and many more. Now It was about 1972 when Enrique was in the running for rookie of the year with star boy who was a small but fast little wrestler. Throughout the season star boy and rumble never met so they stayed undefeated until the championship of 73.
Now at this time Enrique and I had two little angels your dear mother Maria and your uncle Ricardo. Ever since this rookie of the year business, he started straying away from us he spent all of his time at the gym, started coming home later and later, he forgot birthdays, anniversaries, events, reunions he even missed his mother’s own funeral. Now the night of the 73 championships rolled around and Enrique kept on telling me about this secret move that he was going to do to win the fight, and man it was amazing almost to amazing. Now it was the second or the third round of the 73 championship match and both rumble and star boy were dead even until your grandfather sneaked in two brutal smashes two star boys top knuckle and then he saw the chance for his new move star boy was on the ground and rumble hopped on the ropes he bounced once twice three times and whooo he flew up into the air almost touching the ceiling and on his descent every body started chanting cork screw cork screw. Enrique started twisting slowly at first and then faster and faster until he just looked like a ball of gray and just before he touched the ground Enrique boomed out 3 words, um it was poo me sha

The tape was upon them and they dove right past the judges in a photo finish. Louie later said, “you couldn't put a hair between us.” The stadium erupted into cheers and then fell silent, anxiously awaiting the judges decision, as were both Lash and Zamperini.

    He followed his dreams and opened not only his own boxing gym but also an outdoor ice hockey rink. He may have retired from the fighting, but he still holds on to his memories. He ended his career with 38 wins (27 knockouts and 11 decisions) and 13 losses (1 eye-stoppage and 12 decisions.) He now works to help others start their own boxing careers. He likes to remind them that the key to success is long, hard practices and a heart to do more. He likes to remind the new kids of this: “I never lost a fight because I wasn’t in shape or because I wasn’t ready. I lost because I was either beaten by a man better than me or, it wasn’t my night.” Ward was never what you would call a sore loser. He feels this is another important lesson for the up and coming fighters. Losing can be just as valuable as winning. When he lost a match he wouldn’t shut everyone out, sit around pouting, or blame others for it. Instead he took the loss as a personal challenge. He would rewatch the fight and focus on where he fell short. He would analyze ways to do things better. He would then return to the gym to practice longer and harder. He readily admits to making many mistakes, both in and out of the ring. However he very rarely made the same mistake twice, and to this he credits a portion of his…

    The case is all about the evolution of the Wrestling industry, rise and eventual fall of WWF (E). This case generates issues about the evolution, growth, competition, financial stress and other aspects of the wrestling company, WWF (E). Originally WWF was founded by McMahon Sr. and later won over by his son Vince McMahon Jr. The wrestling industry has seen many ups and downs but WWF and WCW were the companies that remained there even at the time of over saturation face by the wrestling field. But when competition grew, WWF almost lost the battle. But the new ambition built in the heart and mind of the young Vince McMahon Jr. led WWE to new horizons of wrestling industry. He improvised the company into an expanding organization and was always capitalizing on opportunities as a strategy to scare off his competitors. He was eager to take risks and spend relentlessly on his work so that he could give his competitors a magnified but false image of his capital. He helped turning the fighting sport into mainstream family entertainment. McMahon's ego forced him to offer hart, an aging star an offer he could not afford. He also introduced celebrities in the wrestling field bringing a harmony between the wrestling and musical entertainment world. Vince's innovative style was to concentrate on the character development of the wrestlers. He wanted to cover most of the segments of the population from children to adults. Because of his harsh efforts, a small wrestling company grew up to become a large empire in the wrestling industry. It set its own trend. However, later WWE was stuck by its own ways which was due to the lack of an appropriate strategy. Keeping control over the ever-growing industry as well as facing the hard core competitors to keep pace in the market was quite a tough job to do.…

Learning new skills was not only going to require physical and intense labor, but mental focus if I wanted to be at the top with in the winner’s circle.…
