Wrestling Legend Grasps at One Last Chance of Stardum in “The Wrestler”

Professional wrestling is often associated with soap opera-esque storylines, fake violence, chiseled physiques, larger-than-life personalities, and lavish lifestyles.

Director and screenwriter Guillermo del Toro has created a film in Pan’s Labyrinth that is going to be remembered for a long time because of the enormous chances it takes. A giant toad, a corrupted tree, a human-like plant, a fortune-telling tome, fairies and door-creating chalk all sound like items from a children’s story, but Pan’s Labyrinth is is no tale to lull one’s children to sleep at night.

Unsurprisingly, the Chiefs lost their second preseason game to the Ravens 31-13, as we seem to lose every preseason game every year. No problem though, because I actually felt pretty good about the Chiefs after the game. Here are the five things that stood out to me the most: 1.

My buddy Corey and I walked into Arrowhead Stadium for preseason game number one against the Buccs.

In the 2010 NFL Draft, Scott Pioli gave Kansas City Chiefs’ fans an Easter present (my mom still gives me those, which is sweet.) The Redskins held the 4th pick overall as my friends and I watched on TV. It was rumored they would draft a left tackle, and they did with Trent Williams out of Oklahoma.
