This picture is bittersweet for me. It features three great people during fun times.
Jim Strong and I crossed paths at many celebrity and wrestling events, before we became friends a few years ago mainly through Resistance Pro. He's a great photographer, as well as a good dude.
Shari Onley is the Aussie brought in to bolster the Bliss. Deena Fagiano was the under-the-radar player on the Bliss. I really like both of these ladies.
I am glad to have a hand in bringing Jim and many others to the Bliss. I did my job in exposing the team to some new fans through their appearance at RPro and through my coverage of the team. I think I did a lot of good for the team.
I also had a ton of fun with the Bliss. I got a trip to Los Angeles, where Jack Keenan and I saw them win their second straight LFL championship. I met a lot of great people (including some beautiful women). I had a real appreciation for how athletic these women are and how hard they work.
I am no longer regularly covering the team. The LFL owner eliminated all of the press, not just me. I don't know what the deal is with him. I don't know what his goal is. I saw nothing but positive for what I brought to the table.
I miss the Bliss. I miss the ladies, the coaches, the practices and all else. I take with me the great memories and the lasting friendships though. I would do it all agin, even if I knew the outcome ahead of time. How else would I have met a wonderful woman from down under like Shari? How else would I consider a young "Italian Stallion" like Deena a friend?
This is the reason Jim's picture is bittersweet for me. I'd love to still be doing this stuff, but that's the way things go sometimes. At least Jim is still going strong (no pun intended) with his Bliss fandom.
