XOC Podcast #10 - It's Armageddon!!

XOC Podcast #10
The Extreme Odd Couple
"It's Armageddon!!"


Another year in the books, but that doesn't mean that Steve Corino and Rob Dimension will agree about the Apocolypse..or if it's gonna even happen. From New Years happenings, to more Chairshots to the Head, to the sad story on how these two nerds celebrate bringing in 2012.


Steve Corino serves us his 1st Fantasy TV taping of Thunder for the "Re-booking WCW in 2001" segment. Who debuts? Who makes a return? You've been asking...so here it is. Plus, Corino adds even more insight to the Chairshots vs Drug Use in Professional Wrestling. This is a deep conversation and is worth a listen. Do you know someone who abuses drugs or suffers from depression? Take a stand, listen and help.



Rob Dimension talks gaming (of course) plus what happened when he approached the PBA (Professional Bowlers Association) and he gives Corino the answer to the Bowling Challenge!! 12 years in the making, will the "War to Settle The Score II" happen? Are you #TeamCorino or #TeamDimension?

My Own Personal Demon

My Own Personal Demon



You know...Steve Corino challenging me to a Bowling match has made me relive and look back at past experiences. If you do not listen to The Extreme Odd Couple Podcast, then you aren't aware of what's going on. You aren't aware of my past...well..let me share some things...


I was a Professional Bowler in the early 90's...yes..a full fledged, card carrying member. I went to PBA school in Florida and passed with flying colors. I know..crazy right? You need to go to school to be a professional bowler...well, you used too...things have changed..but back to the story.




So, for the past 12 years, Steve Corino, my hosting partner for the XOCPOdcast, has been bragging to me about his Bowling skills...and I often just laugh and ignore his challenges. Think about how often the tables are turned on him and some goof challenges him to a Wrestling match. It happens...especially when you are perceived to be good at something. My history with Bowling is a rocky road filled with Love, Laughter and Hate.



I grew to hate the game/sport..not just hate..but HATE. For so many years it consumed my life. I owned my own business within Bowling, I traveled the US because of Bowling (even moving my family cross country several times). The weekend excursions to tournaments, the bowling in 2 leagues...the pressure. Yep, pressure to always improve. You have to understand, Bowling is a personal demon for me..I'm always looking over my shoulder (I know, this sounds insane or silly) waiting to be drawn back into it......and the itch is returning.


My Wife, Kim, whom I actually met in a Bowling center, asked me yesterday "Are you going to accept the challenge?"......I looked at her and didn't have an answer. She noticed I was beginning to scour the Net looking for current information....searching for a reason to say "Yes". I made money Bowling, it supported my family for many, many years. The sport has been good to me, it made me stronger by always putting pressure on ME, no one else. It's a personal sport...not a team sport..it's all on YOU.


Now you know how deep the Challenge is going...I have stated I will make an announcement in Jan. Until then...I try to keep the Demon at bay.
