My friend and colleague with All American Pro Wrestling and From the Rafters Radio, Adam Testa writes for the Baltimore Sun Ring Posts Blog.  He recently had the opportunity to interview Jeff Hardy.  Click here to find out who Hardy would like to wrestle.  You can click this link ti read Hardy's candid thoughts on the "second chance" he's received from TNA and the fans.

Here is just part of what Jeff had to say when he spoke of his return to TNA after taking time off to battle personal demons.

"When I did return, wow, talk about being nervous," Hardy said. "I pretty much admitted I hit rock bottom, and I said that in front of the world. I think that was good for me. After that was over, I said to myself, OK, now I can start; I have my second chance, and I can roll with this.'"

Now, Hardy's a part of the Bound for Glory Series, a competition featuring 12 of TNA's top performers vying for the opportunity to headline the company's biggest annual pay-per-view and wrestle for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship in October.
"I just want to go out there and have the best matches I possibly can," Hardy said. "Twelve is my favorite number, and 2012 has been a good year, so far, so I hope to continue the roll and go out with a bang."
This is just a small sample of what Hardy had to say.  You can read more about this road to recovery and who inspired him to get help.  Click here for the full article.

Spoilers...No Seriously, You've Been Warned

Editors note: The Wrestling Roommate is an exaggeration of the truth, not to be taken too seriously.

So let me tell you a little story about Mr. Ring Post Testa himself. Adam, easily one of my best friends, has a problem…. Adam likes to be on the net, when I say this I don’t mean, “Hey have you seen the wall post I put on Facebook last week?” I mean Adam might need an intervention.

 Most nights Adam has Twitter, Facebook, and Skype open on his Mac. He also sits there with his Droid going off about every 10 seconds. If it didn’t make me laugh a little inside it would annoy me. Not because I hear his ringtone and messengers going off nonstop, but because Adam can’t unplug long enough to actually enjoy a show.  Most of the time Adam knows the outcome of a show before it airs. I don’t know why he actually watches anything.

This is fine if he wants to live that way, however the problem I have is that he generally doesn’t keep this knowledge to himself. Adam also has a very skewed opinion of spoilers, mind you I don’t even watch trailers for some video games or movies because I like the experience. Adam thinks that sitting there during The Walking Dead and repeating “oh the prison, oh the prison” like he did at the end of season two isn’t a spoiler. Most people would probably agree, however I knew that REMOVED (yea I don’t want to spoil it for you) was going to shoot REMOVED because Adam let it slip. Now, Adam generally makes his joke about me saying “If I told you the boat sank at the end of Titanic you would be yelling about spoilers.” My only answer to that is, somewhere there is a member of the Jersey Shore who thinks an “Iceberg” is a drink that contains vodka.

Let me clue you in on the first 10 seconds of me walking in the door every day after work:  ​Aaron walks in the door, sees Adam on the couch watching some wrestling DVD, computer open with Twitter, Facebook, WWE.com, the Baltimore Sun’s website and some other random site about whatever show he is into that week.

Adam: What’s up?
Aaron: Nothi-
Adam: Everyone is just in a expletive deleted church?!
Aaron: -_- I’m going to bed….

The worst thing about this is that Adam just doesn’t get it. I knew that Brock Lesnar was coming back 6 weeks ago because Adam knew it. Adam told me that the Rock was going over at Wrestlemania 28 after Wrestlemania 18 went off the air. I don’t know how he knows this stuff, but he does and it makes watching anything with him infuriating. He even ruined the Bible for me, (the main character comes back at the end.)

In his honor we here at My 1-2-3 Cents present to you this public service announcement about spoilers….please…..
