Brennan Williams and Booker T for Houston Press

If the NFL doesn't work out for me, maybe I can get into professional wrestling. That's a sentence that you'll never hear me say but it is a plan for Brennan Williams. Williams, former UNC Tar Heel and former Houston Texan offensive lineman is trying his hand at professional wrestling under the tutelage of WCW and WWE great, Booker T. Sean Pendergast does a great job of telling the story, so I'll let him do it. But I did get the chance to hit Wrestling Xercise Fitness, watch a workout and take a quick portrait. Big shout to Brennan and Booker T for the time and Sean Pendergast whom I've known of since about 1997 when I was heavy into Jim Rome!

A Wrestler, Yes Sir.

Wrasslin'

Last weekend I spent all day in a ballroom at the Washington Convention Center photographing good ole fashioned high school wrasslin'. There were no top ropes, no turnbuckles and no Jimmy Fly Snuka. No tag teams, no loud mouth managers and no glamorous ring entrances. Just mano a mano, head gear, and tights. It was a new experience. I'd never shot wrestling before and I had no idea who scored points or how. All I knew was that if you got pinned (both shoulder blades to the mat?) then the score didn't matter. Shout out to the Nelson brothers: Quarter, Half and Full who seemed to be a pretty popular bunch that day.
