Monday May 20 2019 - Masks of nightmare...	Gear
Yeah.. I continued my shopping spree and got another set of chinless masks... but I am really not happy with them. They are pretty cheap, they were from a site called Mr Mask Man, but you get really what you pay for. They don't really look nice on me and they are really big. I suppose this is a good thing considering that it will fit the face of several of my opponents... yeah, big opponents. The symbols and the colors actually match some of the football teams, but I don't think it really matters. I bet no once will notice it. The Navy Blue one is from the San Diego Chargers, the green one is from the Philadelphia Eagles and the Orange one is actually for the Cleveland Browns. Don't ask me why it's Orange if it's supposed to represent the Browns. Maybe the logo designer couldn't tell the difference of colors. It's not so much the masks that was the problem, but rather the trouble I had to go through to get them. They are shipped from Mexico via UPS. I wasn't home to receive them and there was custom fees to pay. In Montreal, when this happens, UPS ships them to a far remote location that requires a total of 3 hours of commute time using public transportation (90 minutes to get there, 90 minutes to go back). Lucky for me, I used Uber. I was just thinking that with today's technology, they could have just shipped this to any of the Montreal UPS service points located downtown for me to pay the fees, but no, those service points can't handle those fees. Urgh... bureaucracy as its best. Anyhow, these masks ended up costing more than the ones from eLucha. The big difference is that the quality of the masks are really sub-par compared to eLucha's. So much for trying to get a bargain... Actually, it'll teach me to try to get a bargain. Yes, I look silly wearing these, but then again, I didn't bother to lace them up. I need someone to do it for me because I'm lazy. Next in my shopping list is elbow pads for pros. The amount of time I've injured my elbow doing elbow drops finally made me realize why so many wrestlers are using them. When your elbow reaches the ring mats instead of your opponent, it hurts. Not fun. Yes, padding please. I know what you might think: Wrestling is not like rollerblading. No... Wrestling is actually more dangerous than rollerblading! Would I need shoulder pads as well one day? Only if I want to look like a football player.
