Billy Garcia Tells us About His Day as Part of Wrestlerock by LYNN

Billy Garcia of Survivor: Cook Islands sent me his write-up of the day his dream to be a part of pro wristling history came true. He’s a great guy and has a big heart. He plays guitars in a heavy metal rock band called Forsakken and a MySpace site.

On August 2nd, 2008 I had the honor of being part of a very historic pro wrestling event. It was AWA Survivor Wrestlerock held in Rochester, Minnesota. There were many great matches and wrestling legends like Larry Zbyszko, Nick Bockwinkel, The Honky Tonk Man and Sheikh Adnan Al Kasey to name a few. Well, Needless to say, being a wrestling fan first and a pro wrestler second, I felt some pressure. I was booked in a match where I would face Mookie Lee of Survivor: Fiji. I was confident that I could take Mookie but it was a tag match with two legends involved and this is the AWA. This was the number one wrestling promotion on Earth in the 60s, 70s and early 80s before Hulk Hogan left the AWA for the WWF and shifted the balance of power forever altering wrestling history. Furthermore, if I’m not mistaken, the very first AWA Wrestlerock event was held April 20, 1986. So this event has a lot of history behind it. Then there was the Hype that comes with a Survivor facing a Survivor in the ring. I knew that I had to step it up a notch. PRESSURE!
