This is a weekly series featuring friends who have met celebrities.
Veteran writer Mike Pankow is the creative force behind Windy City Slam, a website covering professional wrestling in Chicago and around the world. It is a site that is growing in popularity among fans and wrestlers.
I have known of Mike for many years. He has been a fixture on the Chicago sports media scene for many years. I finally met him a few years ago.
Mike is a great guy and the perfect person to run Windy City Slam. I applaud his effort. He had a solid career already, but decided to add another bit to it, covering something he loved. To use the overused cliche, it is a labor of love for Mike, but it is work nonetheless.
Running a news website is so easy task. The world of pro wrestling is busier than ever right now and keeping track and reporting on all takes a lot of time and effort. Mike is handling it well and Windy City Slam is getting better and better.
I see Mike at a lot of conventions these days. I have even had the pleasure of helping Mike with some interviews. I am just happy to have contributed a little bit to Windy City Slam.
When he isn't busy on his job or Windy City Slam, Mike is still a big sports fan. Recently, he attended a UIC men's basketball game and had a little fun with Sparky D. Dragon. It's a cool name for a mascot of the Flames, who were named as a reference to the Great Chicago Fire, which started near the UIC campus.
Mike is working hard to make Windy City Slam a success and I encourage all to give it a look. Even if you aren't a wrestling fan, the site is very well done and you just might become a fan.
