1, 2, 3 from Philly to Germany...

... if you wanna come party with me, come join the family yo, so let's go yo!
If you know from what song that line is, holla back! (I modified one of the places though...)

Now after spending one weekend in the United Staates of America, USoA, I decided I needed another break.

What what would be better than sitting in an airplane and fly to Germany. So that's what I did.

I used to remember Lufthansa as one of the upper class airlines, but on this international flight it wasn't as cool as I remembered. Mainly because I didn't have my own TV, they just had one big overhead TV. The movie that was playing was Vicky Anette Barcelona, or something like that. Eitherway I didn't care for it.

I landed in Frankfurt and I made my way to the train station. I must say that the new Lufthansa Lounge at Frankfurt International is amazing!
The I made my way to the railway station where I took the train to Köln. Deutsche Bahn is great, because it's always a pleasure riding in it. Clean, quiet, just the way public transportation should be!

After being picked up in Köln Mr. Fly and The Obermacker Mr. Kovac as well as myself watched the ski worldcup men's downhill. It was great. Switzerland won silver and bronze! Go Switzerland! I forgot how much fun Skiraces are!
It was great being part of the 100 wXw show! There were not that many fans, since their big show is going to be next month. But the people who were there seemed to have a great time.

Now as many of you know I started out at wXw. I had my first match there at their first show in 2000. It was Christmas Eve. To be there for their 100 show, like 7 years later felt so sureal. If I'm correct only Tas, the referee was there at the beginning aswell.
Of course he was reffing my match so that made a big part of my career come full circle.

It's crazy to think back. I started out wrestling in sneakers, a t-shirt with the arms cut off and jean shorts. Oh and I was about 20 kilogramms lighter.
2009 has been a good year so far!

I just wanted to go ahead and sing „Woo! Eh! It takes two to make a thing go right“ when I read the opening line; I assume it’s from Rob Base and DJ E-Z Rock’s „It takes two“ then. Stimmt das?
