Forty years ago Michael Myers started terrorizing the people of Haddonfield, Illinois. He returns to the big screen this weekend as the Halloween movie gets a reboot. Even though Michael is the best-known monster from Haddonfield, one of its other residents is just as menacing when it comes to the squared circle. 

Cash flying

Cash Borden isn't the biggest, strongest or fastest man on the Stride Pro Wrestling roster. But I would argue he's among the toughest. Cash has had his ups and downs here, starting off as a tag team wrestler with Dalton Diamond to engaging in a high profile feud with Roger Matheus. Cash has also competed for the Stride Pro Wrestling Heavyweight Title and Legacy Championship. 

Because Stride is a family-friendly environment, Cash often holds back when he's in the ring. However, some of his evil side was exposed when he tasered Matheus back in May. His battles with Bull Bronson and Madman Pondo also pushed the limits with the Stride crowd. 

However, Cash wrestles around the region and has taken on all comers. He's not afraid to mix things up and bring the necessary weapons with him. Cash has shed a lot of blood, sweat and tears for pro wrestling. He takes his craft seriously and I think it's safe to say fans appreciate that. Some of the photos I've seen make me believe Cash would give Michael a run for his money if the two ever crossed paths in Haddonfield. Cash is also picking up his branding and marketing game. Find him on Instagram and be sure to connect.

Boo Blog: Scary, but true...

Never seen them...

It's actually not that scary at all. But I suspect I will be judged by some folks reading this blog (in a fun way) over the handful of Halloween themed movies I've never seen. I love Halloween, but I'm not a huge fan of horror films. I did enjoy franchises like Scream, Friday the 13th and even the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre (which I think is the scariest movie I've seen).

So here are a few of the films popular this time of year that I've never seen. Hocus Pocus. Obviously, this is a family friendly film, but I have no clue how we've managed to miss it all these years. The movie came out when I was in college, and my wife and I were dating back then but never made it around to going to see it. I have no good reason for not seeing it. Hocus Pocus looks fun. People talk about it all the time. It's definitely on my Halloween-themed movie to do list this season.

I've only seen bits and pieces the original Halloween movie. And I never watched any of the sequels. I was probably about 10 years old when I saw Halloween on cable. It was on Halloween night and I still remember laying in bed and swearing I saw Michael Myers' silhouette in the doorway. I never had the testicular fortitude to tune in again. 

There's never been a nightmare on my street because I've managed to avoid all the Nightmare on Elm Street films. Yes, I know who Freddy Krueger is and the premise of the movies, but I never had any desire to watch the film in its entirety. 

There you have it. My short list of Halloween/scary movies that I've never taken the time to see. Judge me accordingly...
