Sportscasters are doing all kinds of interesting things to keep themselves busy. This article has Nick Heath's everyday play-by-plays. They have titles such as "International's 4x4 Pushchair Formation Final. Live." and "After the lunch break now..." His Twitter Account is HERE. I scrolled down to a retweet in which Michael Spicer is interacting with a President Trump announcement. HERE.
While Sports is all quiet, there still is a sport that is proceeding - wrestling. The top google search is WrestleMania 36 with over 1 million searches. Its distinction is that it went ahead without an audience. I gather in wrestling, the audience has a significant role, and wrestlers wrestle/play to the audience. I learned all this from the CBC in an interview with a wrestling news journalist. It turns out that the owner of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) is famously eccentric Vince McMahon. He is now 'treating COVID like it's a sneeze'. Part of his eccentricity is his phobia/bias against sneezing which is well documented.
What else did I learn about wrestling? I learned it may be included in 'sports', but it is more in the range of circus/fantasy action character events. Here's how I got to this conclusion:
"In a recent segment, crossover star John Cena confronted Bray Wyatt, a children's puppet show host who wrestles as a killer clown alter-ego called The Fiend."
"Pro wrestling fans never know which version of Reagan Belan they're going to get when she first steps into the ring on any given night: My last show, I was a unicorn. I've been Mrs. Potato Head. I've been a senior citizen. I have a tag team called The Monarchy, where I am Queen Elizabeth and my tag-team partner is Queen Victoria," said Belan, a.k.a. Glory S. Gamms, when performing for Vancouver's Glam Slam Wrestling league."
Our picture today is a garden in Niagara-on-the-Lake with a nice arbour and garden gate. Rather than a driveway it now has a fountain.
