Let’s face it – every day we are routinely bombarded with questions. When you’re an emerging media company in Nashville, people just want to know what your opinions are on everything. It’s only natural. And, since our duty is to serve the people, well, we have no choice but to be present. That’s the SoBro Way. Also, aren’t mailbags just a barrel of laughs anyway? Welcome to the newest weekly recurring feature up in this bitch: The SoBros Mailbag. As always, hit us with those mailbag questions @SoBrosNetwork on Twitter, email ’em to me anonymously at thesobrosnetwork@gmail.com. And, holy shit, I need to update this terrible intro paragraph that I’ve been using literally ever since I started writing this column…

Question, from Jesse on Facebook:

Do you think they could see that light from Summerslam in space?

Answer:

It was insufferable. In fact, during the show, there were times when I couldn’t even make out what was happening in the ring! I mean, yeah – I was drunk, but also, I was too far away to clearly see the action, but if I looked up at the jumbotron, I would have to squint and practically stare right into the light of a thousand suns (dramatic, I know, but I’m havin’ fun here, okay?). Forget space – they could see this shit from alternate dimensions.

Question:

Answer:

Oh man – I love this question so much because I haven’t sat down to really remember those days in awhile.

Growing up in Mount Juliet/Gladeville, I used to relish those TGIF Friday nights. I can remember getting home from school, and having a couple of hours to kill before my dad got home from work. Once he did, the three of us would go out to dinner – usually Sir Pizza out in the Hickory Hollow area (but later on, El Rey Azteca (now Memo’s) once it opened). I’d beg and beg to stop by Toys ‘R Us on the way home. If I got my way, I’d come home with a new action figure or two and then I’d sit and play without a care in the world.

Saturday mornings, my dad would wake up and go get us breakfast – McDonald’s, Arby’s, or some sausage biscuits from Cook’s (couldn’t beat Cook’s breakfast in Gladeville in the 90s), and I’d be free for the day, left to my imagination. I’d sneak off into the woods with the other neighborhood kids when my parents weren’t looking. They’d want to explore pretty deeply, but I wouldn’t go much further than the creek out behind our neighborhood, where we’d look for crawdads. Someone back then pounded some dirt trails into the ground for their dirt bikes, so when they weren’t in use, we used them to play cops and robbers and shit like that. In the winter time, I can remember weekends of bringing all of my wrestling figures into the living room and setting up in front of a burning fire to stay warm. My mom would make hot chocolate. Those were the days, man. Simpler, carefree times.

Question:

Answer:

Jet black, baby – didn’t even have to remotely think about it. I don’t know…maybe I just have a goth thing? Who am I kidding? I know I have a goth thing. That’s beside the point – I just think black hair looks classy, it goes with any color outfit, so style-wise, it’s the most versatile hair color. Something about it just seems refined. Furthermore, I think most people look good with black hair and just a few streaks of gray in it. I didn’t mean for this to sound so sexual, but here we are.
