TIME
COT
On this day last year, Smackdown was launched and a new standard was set across Chattanooga and all the lands; a beautiful scene overlooking the valleys and rivers.
It was then, as it was today, a superb morning filled with cool mountainous air, fresh dew landscape and a willing group of able-bodied gentlemen to assume the challenge of starting anew as had been done previously (albeit, at lower altitudes).
Questions abound, will the thin air make us weak? Will it help?
Are we men on high? or high on men?
With the expensive homes within earshot, are people up here really interested in “free”?
Can we justify adding a second day right in middle of iron pax?
We had 3 FNGs that day, will they return?
Fast forward one year later, so much has happened. So much growth. So so so much growth. A Saturday added, a pandemic resurgence. Men responded in ways unimaginable.
One man set himself apart from the rest, accepted his next challenge and calling. He stepped up and began to make it his own, without being formally asked. He was the clear choice without having been chosen. He made himself the only choice. High impact men are expected to act in this way.
I say all that to say this – it is with great pleasure and excitement that Whittler and I step aside and hand-off the Smackdown AOQ to Recycle (Gray Ramsey) and look forward to where it goes from here!
Moleskin
- Even in his absence, Naked Gun heaves were imitated and honored numerous times; by the one guy that you would expect to imitate them. You’ve made a mark on all of us. Thank you.
- If your q instructions go further than a sentence or two, Pax begin to grumble and lose focus… Burrito will taunt you mercilessly.
- The indigenous people bear crawl will make men ornery; worth it every time.
