The IF Factor: Questions Answered #151-160

151. If you could choose any three songs to compile on a disc to wake up (slowly) to every morning, what would they be, and in what order? 

Since I'm a terrible morning person, I'd go with:

1. "Break Stuff" by Limp Bizkit

2. "The Hey Song Part 2 (Instrumental)" - Gary Glitter

3. "I Get the Job Done" by Big Daddy Kane

152. If you could have witnessed the childhood of someone famous, whose would it be?

I would probably choose Simon Cowell. I can just imagine how much of a jerk he was to little kids as he insulted them with that snarky British accent of his. Would make for some entertaining times.

153. If you could keep only keep one book you currently own, which would you choose?

The Bible.

154. If you could have known someone as a child that you now know, who would it be?

There are a couple of friends and former co-workers who would be interesting to know, but I'd have to go with my wife. 

155. If one aspect of your life functioned perfectly forevermore, what would you pick?

My dedication and/or obedience to my faith. If that was perfect, wouldn't everything else in my life simply fall in line? 

156. If you could eliminate one thing other people’s children do, what would it be?

Public display of rudeness, showing no manners, or complete lack of respect for others. We've all dealt with it, nothing worse than a child who is not disciplined at home, who takes his/her antics on the road as well. 

157. If you could give hair back to any balding person you know, who would you pick?

Ha! Myself! 

158. If you had to name the one thing that really makes your day, what would it be? 

My wife's smile, if I'm lucky, her laugh. 

159. If you could change one thing about your country’s history, what would you alter?

Slavery/Racism. Imagine if that never happened, how different things would be in this nation. We've spent the last 100 years trying to mend fences, and there is still plenty of work to be done. 

160. If you had to eliminate one emotion from your life, which would it be?

Frustration. What's that phrase? Keep calm, and carry on. I like that a lot.

WWE Wrestlemania XL Review: "I absolutely loved this Wrestlemania"

It's easy to get caught up and become a prisoner of the moment. Especially in today's world where the latest moment is ostracized, super-analyzed, and hyperbolized - it's very much the clickbait, social media, microwave society we live in.  Yet, even after acknowledging that (as well as my Tribal Chief, of course), I still come to this feeling that Wrestlemania XL is one of the best Wrestlemania's, ever.  Yes, ever!  I don't need Triple H's metrics and benchmarks to influence me. No, no, no! In terms of hype, storylines, payoffs, match quality, and just overall fun - this entire weekend was amazing.  I'm slightly skewed in my preference as well. This was my son's first Wrestlemania as a pro wrestling fan. Having him at my side cheering on his favorites, getting caught up in the drama, and even crying at the end of the night because his Tribal Chief lost to "that no good Cody" added to the overall appreciation of the event.  So yeah, I have some

NXT Stand and Deliver 2024 Review: 'For super casual NXT fans like me - no complaints here'

It's become officially a tradition that NXT Stand and Deliver makes Wrestlemania weekend feel like the ultimate wrestling weekend - as if it isn't already. There is just something about a major show being held midday on a Saturday, among the hype for the already dual night of Wrestlemania - that just emanates and screams - wrestling fans, don't go anywhere all weekend.   Nonetheless, NXT Stand and Deliver 2024 for this super causal NXT viewer was entertaining. I was well aware (and followed) the story of Trick Williams and Carmelo Hayes (more on that in a bit) more so than the other happenings, but that didn't matter. The show offered many reasons to check out Shawn Michaels' project on Tuesday nights.  With that said, here are some quick thoughts on NXT Stand and Deliver 2024:  - Baron Corbin is amazing on the NXT brand. For many reasons, he just never clicked for me on the major brands - and that very likely might not even be his fault. I didn't think Axiom an
